At noon, in Chengwuyi, pedestrians in the streets and alleys either returned home for meals or went to a tavern and inn, and even the street vendors were 20% less.

Shu Yun sat in the carriage nervously, listening to the movement outside the carriage.

The wooden wheel pressed on the stone slab road and made a series of dull sounds, which made Shu Yan's mood slightly annoyed.

After about half an hour of walking, the speed of the carriage began to slow down.

Ji Yang pressed down on the hat he was wearing on his head and bowed his back, giving himself a more coachman's posture.

Wen Yeyan's carriage was in the front, and was held by a man named Chen Xu.

When he arrived at the city gate, Chen Xu stopped the carriage, handed the reins to another person neatly, then changed into a shallow smile, walked a few steps to the officers and soldiers under the city gate, reached out and stuffed a little silver into each person, then took out a token, and asked with a smile: "Is it convenient to leave the city now?"

Several officers and soldiers secretly weighed the broken silver in their hands, and were already very satisfied. When they saw the token that was revealed in Chen Xu's hand, they looked surprised and quickly restrained the greed on their faces.

“Convenient! Convenient!”

Chen Xu smiled slightly, nodded to the officers and soldiers, turned sideways and gestured to the direction of the carriage. Seeing the carriage moving, he then looked at the officers and soldiers and asked: "My master doesn't want to be arrogant this time, everyone can do it for convenience..."

"Yes, yes, yes!" The officers and soldiers dared not agree, so they nodded quickly and agreed, "Don't worry, sir. Today we only sent a few ordinary carriages out of the city, and there was nothing wrong with it..."

"Thank you!" Chen Xu clasped his fists with satisfaction and smiled at the officers and soldiers. After waiting for the carriage to slowly pass, he then stepped forward.

The officers and soldiers looked at each carriage with a hint of nervous expression as they watched the city gate pass through the city gate. After they all walked out of the city wall, they finally breathed a sigh of relief. After looking at each other, they quickly tightened the broken silver in their hands again.

This is the benefit of guarding the city gate!

However, a quarter of an hour later, a horse came from under the city gate, each wearing armor, and he looked like a mighty man.

"Are you a suspicious person going out of the city recently?" The leader was a middle-aged man with a big beard with a face that was not angry but powerful. He held a sword with a fierce cold light in his hand, but he didn't know where to put the scabbard. The person who shot did not dare to look directly at the eyes.

"No...no...no...no suspicious people, that is, some vendors and people in the city are coming and going!" Seeing this, an officer and soldier trembled when he was scared, but he still replied with a sting.

When the bearded man heard this, his sword-browed eyebrows suddenly frowned, and swept the officers and soldiers majesticly. Seeing them trembling gently like sieve, a cold light flashed in his eyes. He raised his hand and swung the sword in his hand towards the city wall.

A crisp and pleasant buzzing sound suddenly sounded, spreading around. When everyone realized it, the sword had been inserted into the stones of the city wall, with a momentum of iron-cutting like mud.

"I asked you again, is there any suspicious people leaving the city?!" The bearded man roared, with a strong eagerness and hostility in his tone, and he looked at the officers and soldiers coldly and said, "You must think clearly! If you don't tell the truth, all the major events in Chengwuyi will be spread to you, and you will definitely destroy the entire clan!"

"All clans in the family?" When several officers and soldiers heard this, they immediately thrust and all knelt on the ground in horror, tremblingly looking at the bearded man, and asked tremblingly: "Sir... Is this... what happened...?"

"What happened? Humph!" The bearded man snorted coldly, widened his eyes and looked at the officers and soldiers in front of him, with cold light in his eyes: "It's okay to tell you! This epidemic of Biyang has been brought into our Chengwuyi!"

“Battle of disease?!”

As soon as these words were said, the officers and soldiers immediately collapsed on the ground, looking at the bearded man with no hope.

"We are now going to find those who come to the city with the disease. You are here all day long. How could you not see any suspicious people?" The bearded man squinted his eyes and looked at the soldiers guarding the city in a cold light. He said coldly to them: "Last night, someone discovered that there were those suspicious people in Chengwuyi. But he didn't expect that he confirmed the news and reported it to the government office, and those people fled... Now, the city has begun to search, and the city gate is naturally indispensable... Think about it carefully, can there be any suspicious people leaving the city?"

The officers and soldiers were even more frightened at this moment.

Who doesn’t know what kind of state the disease in the yang develops into? It can be said that wherever it arises, it will become ashes.

It would be fine if the disease was brought into Chengwuyi City and they did not notice it. If these people still ran away under their noses, then their sins would be great! How many people are there in Chengwuyi?

This is a responsibility that cannot be borne even if the entire clan is destroyed!

When they thought of this, the officers and soldiers were exhausted from their strength. They desperately recalled in their minds, rushing to report all the people they felt were suspicious, and they thought they could atone for their sins...

However, the bearded man was not satisfied at all after hearing this: "There are only these people? Among the people who left the city today, there are no ones who look like sick people?"

"No! No! Sir, absolutely not!" Several officers and soldiers nodded affirmatively and said, "As for this epidemic, the superiors have ordered that they must pay attention to the person entering and leaving the city gate. If anyone finds that someone is inappropriate, they must report it... This is a major event that concerns our entire Chengwuyi, so why can we not care about it?"

The bearded man frowned and looked at the officers and soldiers in front of him again and again. Then he nodded reluctantly. After thinking about it, he asked again: "You can understand this principle...but, except for these, you have carefully confirmed the carriages entering and leaving the city? Have you checked them all?"

As soon as these words were said, the actions of several officers and soldiers who were about to nodded suddenly stopped. Their faces, which had just recovered from blood, instantly turned pale.
