”Alright, give me two days. I will thoroughly investigate the pathogen.” Xiao Qingran said in a low voice: ”I'll leave the rest to you.”
”Don't worry, I will do my best.”
Just as the two of them were chatting, Li Er ran over and said, ”Miss, the person you told me to look for has been found.”
”Where is he now?”
”Whirlwind is leading people over here.”
Xiao Qing Qing nodded and looked at Liu Suifeng, ”There are so many patients nowadays. I know that you have to find all the doctors and herbs in the city when you can't come here by yourself. I will have the Flower Hall send some to you later.”
Liu Suifeng said solemnly, ”Alright.”
After Xiao Qing Qing accepted the quest, she took Riko and left. She did not immediately go find Wei Chi but went to Wolf Claw.
The people on the other side knew what was going on in the city, but they didn't receive her orders. They were all extremely anxious, and they waited for her to come with great difficulty before swarming over like a swarm of bees.
The people of Wolf Claw surrounded him and started talking all at once. Xiao Qing's ears hurt from the noise, but after listening carefully, she could only come up with some ideas.
Even though most of those ideas were rancid, Xiao Qing was happy. At least they had the thought of joining forces against a common enemy. That was good enough. It meant that the training they had done in the past few days had not been in vain.
”That's enough, you don't have to be so anxious. When I ask you to take action, I will naturally tell you all. What you need to do now is to improve your mutual understanding as soon as possible.” Xiao Qing was not anxious about their mission as she thought that she should use her soldiers at the most crucial time.
”Mistress, the city has been a mess recently. How could we have the heart to train?” One of them said.
They had also heard of the natural disaster ten years ago. At that time, the imperial government could not send out anyone to save the city, and the people in the city had to spend more than ten years to recover to such a state. If they had to do it again …
Some people also started a discussion and wanted to help Xiao Qing.
Xiao Qing Ran twirled her fingers and spoke in a very calm tone, ”If you are going to mess around because of such a small matter, it means that all your training during this period of time was in vain. This way, you don't have to work for me anymore.”
When those words came out, those people immediately shut their mouths.
Xiao Qing`er glanced at Riko without a word, but the latter took a step forward and raised her head: ”All of you, listen carefully. Since you are all Miss's people now, then we should also talk about the rules. Don't ask what you aren't supposed to ask, and don't say what you aren't supposed to ask. Miss has her own reasons for doing things, all you need to do is listen to my orders. ”
When everyone heard this, they looked at each other and lowered their heads.
”Master's orders are to follow!”
Xiao Qing Qing nodded and revealed a 'virtuous smile'. She then called Uncle Li and the others over to discuss what would happen next. Although Wolf Claw's people couldn't be easily moved, they still had to prepare in advance in case of any mishaps.
Riko understood the rules. She knew that her young lady always had a sense of propriety when she did things. However, she was also baffled. It was as if someone had arranged everything regarding the plague beforehand.
When she said those words to Xiao Qingyi, the latter actually laughed. ”That's great. Li Er, now you have the ability to discern matters with your eyes as well.”
”Miss, what do you mean?”
I've asked Liu Suifeng about it in private. Logically speaking, there should be many types of plague in spring and summer, but there are only a few that occur in winter, and this time, the plague is occurring too quickly.
”I've also learned about the plague ten years ago. As those people said, it's exactly the same as this one. If the first time was a coincidence, then the second time was extraordinary. ”
Riko was astonished. ”Miss, you mean that someone has taken care of you, but how is that possible? This is, after all, a natural disaster.
”Are you sure no one can?” Xiao Qing gave a cold laugh as a cold light flashed in the depths of her eyes.
Riko suddenly thought of something when she saw Ye Ci's expression. Instantly, her eyes widened. ”Wei Chi!”
If what Miss said was true, then the plague from ten years ago was also his doing. This man was obviously premeditated, he had planned for ten years or more to stay in the position of the local tyrant.
That's right, that's right, I heard that Mayor Hua's father was killed by Wei Chi, didn't he say that his father was going to be killed because he knew about it?
