Chapter 771 The Journey of Exile (7)
Chapter 771 The Journey of Exile (7)
The epidemic here has obviously been going on for a long time, but there has been no response from above. Andu City is probably now a ghost town or a dead city.
That emperor is truly heartless; he didn't kill him but let him contract the plague. In any case, Nangong Che, this good son, is doomed.
But on the other hand, it also shows that the dynasty is nearing its end. It remains to be seen whether Nangong Che, who survived, can handle this mess.
Along the way, there was fear, apprehension, and worry. Some even asked if they could take another route. In short, the road to Andu Prefecture filled everyone with dread.
Even without Wangyou's reminder, they could immediately think of an epidemic in this situation; the way these people died was simply too horrific.
"Give the medicine to you and your two men. You can decide what to do with the rest," Wangyou said quietly, handing a medicine bottle to Nangong Che.
Nangong Che glanced at Wangyou with a complicated expression and said softly, "Thank you, I will repay you."
First, Meng Jie and Eunuch Hou definitely need one each. They risked their lives to come out of the palace with him, and he can't abandon them. As for the remaining pills, the quantity is limited, so Nangong Che can only choose to be selfish and save his maternal family and some ministers who are implicated because of him.
After giving the pill to Nangong Che, Wangyou didn't care how he used it, because she sensed two familiar soul auras, and a red string faintly appeared on her wrist.
"Stop! Let's take a detour!" The constables dared not go any further.
"Brother Cha, I'll be right back." Wangyou headed towards Andu City without looking back.
"Old Meng!"
"Your Highness, I'll go take a look."
"Okay, take good care of yourself."
At this point, no one cared about escorting them or not; saving their lives was the priority. So no one chased after Wangyou and Mengjie, mainly because these two weren't actually on the exile list.
As they entered Andu City, even though Wangyou had seen many tragic scenes, she still felt quite sorry for the city. The entire city had been burned black, and the ground was covered with corpses. It seemed that someone had set the city on fire.
Wangyou ignored all of that and finally found Xie Yuchen and Zhang Qilin, along with three other children.
"Wait, what's with this outfit?" He opened the cellar door and asked, looking down at the five dark-skinned boys.
"Forget your worries!" Xie Yuchen and Zhang Qilin's eyes lit up.
"It's me, come on up!"
"No, how did you all get yourselves into such a mess?" Wangyou was genuinely curious; it shouldn't be like this.
"We were just passing through when we discovered the epidemic here. We thought we could save people and accumulate merit, but the officials of Andu Prefecture didn't care about saving the city at all. We were saving people without paying attention, and by the time we realized it, the fire was already raging." Qi Sinian rambled on.
“We never expected that none of the officials here would be good. We’ve only ever heard of burning down villages before, but burning down a city is something we’ve never seen before outside of the cultivation world,” Xie Yuchen said, wiping his face.
"Stop wiping, it'll only make it dirtier. Don't you know how to use the space I gave you?" Wangyou looked at the black marks on Xie Yuchen's face with amusement and took out a handkerchief to wipe his face.
"Me too." Zhang Qilin, whose face now bore two dark marks, confidently extended his face and said.
"Okay." Wangyou reluctantly wiped their faces.
"Hey, our little brother's got some talent for winning favor now!" Fatty Wang exclaimed excitedly.
"No one can enter the system space!" Qi Sinian couldn't stand the three of them being so intimate and decided to interrupt.
“I remember I created life spaces for Achen and Linlin.”
"This world is too low-level to open," Zhang Qilin said, sounding somewhat aggrieved.
"Impossible! My Peach Blossom Spring can be opened! You've been targeted!" Wangyou's eyes instantly turned golden.
He reached out and pinched off the wisp of causal thread on the two of them, saying, "What did you do in the previous world that you're now tainted with causal karma?"
"I've always done my job properly! Wife, I swear, I have never married another wife, nor have I ever let another woman get close to me. I'm only focused on accumulating merit!" Xie Yuchen hurriedly swore to show his stance.
"I don't either, I'm way away from them." Zhang Qilin didn't say much, but his explanation was very serious.
"What are you two thinking? I can tell at a glance whether you've been messing around in the small world. I'm talking about what you've been doing besides accumulating merit points," Wangyou said helplessly, reaching out to rub their faces.
"Could it be because those worlds are sick, and we took action to deal with the male and female protagonists in them, causing dissatisfaction from the world's consciousness?" After a while, Xie Yuchen suddenly said.
"It seems you've really dealt a severe blow to the so-called male and female leads, otherwise they wouldn't be holding a grudge across realms." Wangyou smiled and didn't ask any more questions. "Let's leave here first!"
"Forget-Me-Not Girl, you're here?"
"Uncle Meng, what brings you here?"
"My master was worried about you, so he sent me to see if there was anything I could do to help."
"No, I've already found the person I was looking for," Wangyou said, pointing to the few teenagers beside her.
"Are they your friends?"
"Ah."
Wangyou casually handed a bottle of pills to the group, saying, "Pour out one and eat it, then put the rest away."
"Okay, thank you, Forget-Me-Not."
Meng Jie was somewhat envious, but ultimately said nothing. The things that Wangyou had were her own; it was already quite generous of her to offer a bottle. Giving was a favor, not giving was her right. However, he was quite envious of these young men.
"Uncle Meng, my current chef is quite skilled."
"Hello, Uncle Meng!" the five greeted in unison.
"Uncle Meng, this is Xie Yuchen, Zhang Qilin, my two fiancés, the other three are Qi Sinian, who is my younger brother, the slightly chubby one is called Fatty Wang, and the last one who is fair-skinned is called Chaoyang. They are all my friends."
"Two fiancés?" Meng Jie's mouth dropped open in astonishment, almost dropping his jaw.
"Is there a problem with either of them?"
"No, there's no problem at all." Meng Jie shook his head repeatedly. It would be a problem if an ordinary person had two fiancés, but it seems quite reasonable that the protagonist is Wang You.
"Let's go, let's catch up with the group ahead first."
During their journey, the group exchanged information and exclaimed in surprise upon learning that Wangyou was in the exile group.
"Are they treating you badly?" Zhang Qilin asked quietly, holding Wangyou's hand.
"It's not good, but I don't care anyway. I've never been exiled before, and I want to rest, so I won't try to earn merit."
"It's their loss if they don't like you, don't be sad." Although Xie Yuchen knew that Wangyou wouldn't be sad about such a thing, he still wanted to say something.
"What are you talking about? Do I look like someone who would be swayed by family ties? I just want to see how miserable this loving family can be. I'm bored anyway, so I'll treat it like watching a TV series." Wangyou said with a smile. Meng Jie, who was leading the way, wondered why he couldn't hear a word she said, even though they weren't far apart.
