Transmigrated To Another World: General, I'm Not Your White Moonlight - Chapter 190

Chapter 190: Sudden Outbreak Of Plague
While Duan Yixin and Lan Zhuoyu were preparing breakfast while chatting casually, Xuan Ruiquan asked Liushiliu in a low voice, “How is the situation outside?”

Liushiliu lowered his voice and said, “Reporting to Master. Two days ago, Li Junwang sent five hundred soldiers to rescue the flooded victims and gathered them in the suburbs of Qian Shan County. According to rumors circulating over the past two days, Li Junwang had built porridge stalls to feed the victims and allowed them to live in a temporary settlement outside Qian Shan County.”

After listening to Liushiliu’s report, Xuan Ruiquan frowned slightly, “Wan Hezhi is not someone who does such a thing for no reason.”

After thinking for a while, Xuan Ruiquan said, “Besides you, are there any secret guards around here?”

Liushiliu nodded, “Yes, Master. Last night, Captain Jian Qi of the Seventh Division and his party arrived at Yun Mountain. This subordinate contacted them, and we exchanged information. Captain Jian Qi said that Commander Jian Yi sent him to investigate the source of the sudden outbreak of plague in the north and west.”

When Xuan Ruiquan heard this, his heart sank. The plague that happened in the previous life also happened in this life. However, time has moved forward a few months compared to the previous life.

Xuan Ruiquan looked at Duan Yixin and thought, ‘In the previous life, because of the plague, that woman took advantage of Xin’er’s secrets and consolidated her identity as a witch. This time, I need to prevent Xin’er from coming forward to solve the plague, prevent that woman from discovering Xin’er’s secret, and prevent Xin’er’s death.’

Seeing his Master staring at Duan Yixin, Liushiliu hesitated for a moment before asking, “Master, what do you plan to do with Miss Duan?”

Hearing this question, Xuan Ruiquan looked at Liushiliu and said, “You have so many questions. It seems you know a lot of things.”

Hearing these words, Liushiliu felt a chill running down his spine. The most taboo thing for secret guards is to pry into their Master’s thoughts. Realizing his mistake, Liushiliu quickly lowered his head and said, “This subordinate made a mistake. Master, please punish me.”

Xuan Ruiquan looked at Liushiliu for a few seconds and said, “Forget it. Just this time, no second time.”

Liushiliu breathed a sigh of relief and said, “Thank you, Master.”

After a moment of silence, Xuan Ruiquan said, “I will stay with her for the time being. Go and tell Jian Qi all the information you have. Also, let him investigate a woman named Liang Jiaying. Find her location and report to me as soon as possible.”

Liushiliu clasped his fists and said, “This subordinate accepts the order.”

Xuan Ruiquan waved his hand and tiredly said, “Go.”

Liushiliu stood up and walked to Duan Yixin. Seeing him coming, Duan Yixin smiled and asked, “Liushiliu, do you want to have breakfast with us?”

Liushiliu shook his head and replied, “I have a new mission. Miss Duan, please take care of my Master. I will be back as soon as possible.”

Duan Yixin turned around and glanced at Xuan Ruiquan, thinking, ‘Liushiliu’s protectiveness toward his Master is too much. Is his Master so weak?’

While doubting Xuan Ruiquan’s strength, Duan Yixin nodded to Liushiliu and said, “All right. Pay attention to safety.”

Liushiliu clasped his fists, lowered his head, and said, “Thank you, Miss Duan.”

After speaking, he looked at Lan Zhuoyu and said, “General Lan, my master’s safety is in your hands.”

Lan Zhuoyu waved his hand and said casually, “I know, I know. Go ahead and stop nagging.”

Liushiliu bowed at Xuan Ruiquan again, turned to Lan Zhuoyu and Duan Yixin, and said, “Then I will take my leave first.”

As soon as these words were spoken, he disappeared. Duan Yixin felt a gust of wind blowing by and sighed, “Liushiliu’s skills are really good.”

Hearing this, Lan Zhuoyu chuckled and asked, “Miss Duan also wants to learn martial arts?”

Duan Yixin shook her head and smiled, “I know my own limits. Learning martial arts is beyond my capabilities. It would be better for me to learn more medical knowledge in my free time.”

While they were talking, Xuan Ruiquan was thinking about how to stay by Duan Yixin’s side. In order not to let anyone know her secret, his only way is to stay with her and prevent anything that could expose her secret. However, without any official title, he cannot be with her openly. Otherwise, what happened in his previous life may happen again in this life.

Just as he was racking his brains to find excuses, Duan Yixin came with a bowl of medicinal porridge and a bowl of medicinal chicken soup. She placed the food in front of Xuan Ruiquan and said, “Young Master, we have known each other for a few days, but I still don’t know your name.”

Xuan Ruiquan suddenly realized that he had not told her his name. He smiled apologetically and said, “This is my oversight. My name is Xuan Ruiquan.”

Duan Yixin smiled and asked, “Are you also a general of the Jin Yi Army like General Lan?”

Xuan Ruiquan nodded in answer, and Duan Yixin said, “Then I will call you General Xuan. Nice to meet you, General Xuan.”

Hearing her call him General Xuan brought back memories of his previous life. In that life, Duan Yixin also called him General Xuan and only called his name one second before she died. Thinking of the day she died in front of him, Xuan Ruiquan clenched his hands tightly.

While Xuan Ruiquan was immersed in his memories, Duan Yixin noticed that his hands were tightly clenched. She touched his hand and was surprised to find it was so cold. She looked at him and asked, “General Xuan, are you alright?”

Feeling the warmth coming from her hands, Xuan Ruiquan woke up from that nightmare memory. He looked at her for a long time, then slowly exhaled and said, “I’m fine.”
