Transmigrated To Another World: General, I'm Not Your White Moonlight - Chapter 254

Chapter 254: Jiu Gongzhu
Beggar Zhen showed his most handsome smile and said, “Little Beauty, since you have taken off your clothes, why not take off all your clothes? Or do you need my help?”

The young woman sneered and said, “Courting death.”

Seeing that the young woman did not do what he wanted, Beggar Zhen chuckled, “Since you are shy, then I will help you.”

He took out a small package from his clothes, opened the wrapping paper, and threw the powder on the young woman.

Seeing her inhale the white powder, Beggar Zhen looked proud and said, “Don’t worry. This Master will fulfill your wish as long as you beg me. I will make you feel refreshed and happy like you’ve been to heaven.”

Hearing this, the young woman smiled and said, “Really? Then why don’t you come to me now? I feel uncomfortable all over.”

Hearing this, Beggar Zhen walked up to the young woman with a proud look on his face. When he was only one step away from her, the young woman sighed and said, “People in the Xia Empire really like to courting death.”

As soon as she finished speaking, Beggar Zhen felt that the world was spinning in front of his eyes.

Thud!

Before he could understand what was happening, Beggar Zhen had lay motionlessly on the dirty ground. He then saw the young woman calmly put on black clothes and take out a small ceramic bottle from her bag. She opened the lid, squatted down, and poured the white powder into his mouth.

The moment the white powder touched his tongue, Beggar Zhen felt burning pain all over his body, starting from his tongue. His eyes widened in horror, and he wanted to scream. However, when he opened his mouth, his tongue fell on the dirty ground.

Pluk…

The young woman looked at the severed tongue, then watched it rot and turn into a pool of blood, which evaporated in a few seconds. After that, she closed the small bottle, put it away, and left without saying anything.

Laying on the ground, Beggar Zhen could only watch his body slowly rotting away from the poison. Before losing consciousness, Beggar Zhen saw a magnificent palace and reached out to touch it. Unfortunately, all that was left on his hand were yellowed bones. Soon, nothing was left inside that room besides a set of tattered clothes.

After leaving the abandoned temple, the young woman meets a man not far from there. When the man sees the young woman coming, he kneels down, clasps his fists, and says, “Jiu Gongzhu.”

The young woman nodded and asked, “Have you found the place where they imprisoned my Er Huang Xiong?”

The man said, “Answering Jiu Gongzhu. Er Huangzi is imprisoned in the underground prison of Dali Si in the imperial capital city of the Xia Empire.”

Hearing this, the young woman frowned and thoughtfully muttered, “Dali Si? This is troublesome.”

After a moment of silence, she looked at the man and asked, “Isn’t that Dali Si under Xuan Ruiquan’s control?”

The man nodded and said, “Yes. But now, Xuan Ruiquan is not in the imperial capital city. If we want to save Er Huangzi, this is our only chance.”

The young woman thought for a while and said, “Get ready. After we complete the task here, we will set off immediately to rescue Er Huang Xiong.”

“Yes, Jiu Gongzhu.” After the man said this, the two left together.

Meanwhile, Duan Yixin and others arrived at the inn. After getting off the horse carriage, Duan Yixin saw many people dining in the inn.

Seeing her staring at the crowd, Xuan Ruiquan said, “There are a lot of people today. How about I ask the servant to deliver lunch to our room?”

Duan Yixin and Chi Xinru looked at the crowded hall and agreed. While Chi Xiyou drove the horse carriage and Xuan Ruiquan’s horse to the stables, the three of them went into the inn.

When Xuan Ruiquan went to order lunch, Duan Yixin and Chi Xinru went back to their room to freshen up. When Chi Xiyou came to their room, the food had been delivered, and the three of them had been waiting for him.

Chi Xiyou closed the door, sat down on the empty stool, and picked up the chopsticks. He clipped a large piece of meat, stuffed it into his mouth, and then said, “I’m so hungry.”

Seeing that he had started eating, the other three also picked up their chopsticks. While eating, Chi Xinru asked curiously, “Elder Brother, do you know why so many people came today?”

Chi Xiyou nodded, swallowed the food, and said, “Yes.”

He took a sip of water and continued, “Those people are refugees from other places.”

Duan Yixin heard this and said, “They don’t look like refugees.”

“Not all refugees look dirty and thin. These people are the wealthy families who went to the imperial capital city. Most of them are female members of the noble families or wealthy merchant families. They only returned to their house in the imperial capital city to escape the plague.” Chi Xiyou ate while explaining to Duan Yixin.

Duan Yixin listened to his explanation, thought for a moment, and said, “If these people want to go to the imperial capital city, they must buy food and medicine before leaving. The grain and medicine prices will rise a lot. I don’t know if the government has enough money to prepare enough medicine for the refugees.”

Xuan Ruiquan heard this and asked, “Xin’er, do you know how to treat the patients?”

Duan Yixin nodded and said, “The medicine to cure the plague is not difficult to make, but I still don’t know how it spreads. If we can’t stop the spread of the plague, even if we know the treatment, it will be useless. In the long run, the death toll will continue to increase, and the medicine will one day run out.”

Hearing this, Xuan Ruiquan frowned slightly and thought, ‘In this life, it’s still Xin’er who found a cure for the plague.’
