Qingyan would naturally tell Yaoji and the others about this matter. When she returned to Yingshuang Courtyard, she simply explained that Yun Mang wanted to protect the General's Mansion. As for if something happened to the General's Mansion, she would The animals in the General's Mansion can also protect the General's Mansion, at least to ensure that the General's Mansion is not infringed upon.
Qingyan arrived at the city gate at the agreed time. There were several people at the city gate, and there should also be Emperor Hongjia and Qilian Yuran who came to see her off.
"Yan'er, are you here?" Qilian Yuran looked at Qing Yan dressed in black brocade and raised her hand to rub his head, "You must be well on this journey and don't let anything happen."
"Mother, concubine, father, please rest assured, we will definitely come back alive and well." Qingyan looked at them with smiles on their faces.
They did not take a carriage, but instead rode a horse, because the speed of a horse is much faster than a carriage. Although Emperor Hongjia and Qilian Yuran were more worried about Qingyan's safety, Qingyan insisted on riding a horse. He didn't want to hold everyone back.
"Ahong, do you think they can really come back safely?" Qilian Yuran looked at Emperor Hongjia with a worried look on his face. As he spoke, he turned his attention to the figures who were drifting away.
"Ran Ran, believe in them, believe that they will come back alive." Emperor Hongjia said and held Qilian Yuran's hand tightly. However, in fact, he was also worried that they would never be seen returning on this road.

After five days and five nights of running around, they finally arrived at Wucheng in northern Shaanxi in the early morning of the sixth day. Wucheng was the place where the plague first occurred in northern Shaanxi and was also the place where the plague was most severe.
When the magistrate of Wucheng heard that the fourth prince had arrived, he immediately arranged for people to greet him. However, by the time he came out to greet him, Xuanyuan Yuzhen and the others had already arrived at the gate of the government office.
When the magistrate Wu Keshan saw them, he saluted respectfully, but at this time they could still care about these false courtesy. Xuanyuan Yuzhen looked at Wu Keshan and said seriously, "Prefect, how is the situation in Wucheng now?"
Wu Keshan listened to Xuanyuan Yuzhen's words and shook his head helplessly, "Now that the plague is coming, it is impossible to prevent it. More and more people have been infected by the plague. Once similar symptoms are found, no matter whether it is plague or not, , all were imprisoned in a circle, where hundreds of people have been imprisoned now, and this situation is still happening.”
Qingyan had been running around all night these days, and her physical discomfort soon came to her. Seeing Qingyan's tired look, Murong Jingxuan supported her and said, "Xiao Yan'er, you have followed us for five days and stayed overnight. Run around, or you should go and take a good rest now.”
When Qingyan looked up at Murong Jingxuan, she felt that there was a hazy and dark scene in front of her. She grabbed Murong Jingxuan's clothes and said, "It's really tiring to follow you these past few days." Qingyan said directly. He fell into Murong Jingxuan's arms.
Wu Keshan looked at the appearance of the group of them and quickly spoke with concern, "Your Highness, Your Highness the Crown Prince, you have been traveling all the way, why don't you take a rest in the mansion for the time being. As for the epidemic, I will be thinking of reporting to you later."
Xuanyuan Yuzhen and Murong Jingxuan nodded seriously, and then Wu Keshan took them to rest together.
As for the others, they went to the branches of Ten Thousand Beasts Pavilion and Seven Stars Palace in Wucheng, thinking that there might be useful information for them there.
Yaoji and Yanmei knew that Wan Beast Pavilion's store in Wucheng should be a medical clinic. After some inquiring, they found out that Wan Beast Pavilion's branch was the largest medical clinic in Wucheng: the Medical Clinic.
When the people at the medical clinic saw Yao Chi and the others, they said with a smile, "What are you here for, to get medicine or to see a doctor?"
The demon took out the token in his hand. After seeing the token, the man's attitude became respectful, "It turns out to be the green dragon protector. I'll inform the master now."
After a while, Yaoji and the others were brought in by the shopkeeper, and what greeted them was a coquettish-looking woman—Lan Ruo.
"I have seen the three guardians. I don't know that the guardians came here because of the plague." Lan Ruo looked at them and said respectfully, "My subordinates have already investigated and found that the plague was man-made, but this is the first The person who poisoned the poison has died from the poison, and the original plague spread from that person. As for the person behind the scenes, we have never been able to investigate."
"Lan Ruo, has anything else happened recently?" Yaoji looked at Lan Ruo and said calmly, "This time, the master is here with us, so we must try our best to help the master in this matter."
Lan Ruo still nodded respectfully after listening to Yaoji's words, "The east of Wucheng is the territory of Nanchen Kingdom, and the west is bordering on Beilin Kingdom. Do you think it is possible that their people did it?"
After listening to Lan Ruo's words, Yanmei shook her head, "This is not impossible, but I think it must be someone from the Toga Kingdom who poisoned the people in order to kill the people of Wucheng, or in other words, they wanted to kill this volunteer. people."
Yaoji looked at Yemei and agreed, "In other words, what happened this time was probably directed at the Fourth Highness. If His Highness died in Wucheng, then the Crown Prince would have no one to help him, and the biggest beneficiary would be That’s the second prince.”
Lan Ruo naturally didn't understand what they were talking about, but she still knew the reputation of the Fourth Highness. After all, the Fourth Highness had a good reputation and was also a good prince who was loved by the people. In many cases, the Fourth Prince Xuanyuan Yuzhen took the initiative to invite him. of.
The only regret is that the fourth prince has no intention of taking the throne and only focuses on assisting the prince Xuanyuan Yuze.
"Dharma protector, I see that you are also tired. Why don't you take a rest in this medical clinic and then tell the master about this matter."
Yao Ji looked at him and yawned, "Okay."
It was already evening when Qingyan and the others woke up, and Yaoji and others also brought them the latest news about the epidemic.
Qingyan and the others were eating and listening to their reports. She suddenly felt that this was the most likely thing. If Xuanyuan Yuzhen died in this plague, then the person who would benefit the most would naturally be Xuanyuan Yufan.
"Fourth brother, what do you think of this epidemic?" Qingyan said, looking at Xuanyuan Yuzhen, who was frowning.
"Then I want to see how the mastermind behind the scenes wants to deal with me. After all, he has already succeeded halfway, hasn't he?" Xuanyuan Yuzhen clenched his fists as he spoke, "Let's see who is the winner then."
Qingyan looked at the expression on Xuanyuan Yuzhen's face, and she said seriously, "Fourth brother, believe me, I will not let you die, and I will definitely save these people and let them know that we are not Not that easy to bully.”
