When Qi Xiaoze returned to the group, he heard that Qi Tianlang had followed them and caused a ruckus. But that kid was stubborn and decided to stay with the group.
After crossing the snowy mountain, they reached a warmer region and could take off their thick coats.
After such a difficult period, everyone thought that everything would be fine once they reached Lei City. But to everyone's surprise, when they arrived at Lei City, they were faced with a new challenge.
Because this was the border between the north and the south, it was one of the bigger trading cities in Northern Qin.
The city was prosperous and there should be a lot of people coming in and out of the city.
However, they had been traveling from the mountain path to the small path for more than two hours, yet they hadn't met a single person from Lei City.
"Bat, go check out the situation in Lei City."
When they marched, they did not need to enter the city. To save time, they would choose to bypass the city.
But the situation in Lei City was not normal.
Sending Bat, with Bat's speed, it would only take half an hour.
However, after waiting for two whole hours, he still hadn't returned.
"Miss, why don't I go greet him?" Luo Yichen was worried.
"No need, Bat is reliable. There must be a reason why he is not back yet. Let's wait for a while. If he is not back in two hours, you can go look for him."
Wei Ziyao also felt that something was amiss, but she still trusted Bat.
As expected, Bat did not betray her trust.
After another half an hour, he returned, but his expression was not good.
"Master, the situation in Lei City is not good."
"Speak."
"I just went to investigate. A plague with a high fatality rate has broken out in Lei City in the past two days. The local magistrate has already ordered people to lock down the entire city. However, from what I can see, it doesn't look like a plague. It looks more like a Gu worm."
Gu worm ….
"How is that possible?" Qi Tianlang was shocked: "Ziyuan and the rest are quite far from here. How could the Gu worm spread here so quickly? If it is really Ziyuan, then won't our Northern Qin be destroyed? "
He was still young and could not keep calm. Wei Ziyao shook her head.
"It can't be Ziyuan."
Since something like this had happened here, it was impossible for them to continue on their journey.
"Luo Yichen, bring my token to Lei City and pay a visit to the prefect. Tell him that I'll be there shortly. Bat, go to the surrounding cities and see if they've been invaded by Gu worms."
"Yes!"
"Yes!" After receiving the order, the two of them disappeared from the spot as fast as they could.
Wei Ziyao looked at the remaining people and said, "Sanger, follow the team and continue forward. I'll leave the important task of dealing with Zi Yuan to you."
"Rest assured, my lord. Sanger will not let you down."
After briefing them, Wei Ziyao walked up to Qi Xiaoze and bowed to him according to the rules.
"Commander, this happened too suddenly. Now, an entire city is being tormented by Gu worms. It is my duty to treat them. You guys continue forward. I will catch up once I'm done here."
Qi Xiaoze's expression was also unprecedentedly serious. "Alright, but I'm worried about you staying here alone. I …"
"Who said I'm staying here alone? Prince Yin wants to stay with me. "
Hearing that she wanted Ki Chien-chul to stay, Qi Xiaoze looked up at him, who had been silent all this time.
"What? Does the commander feel troubled? "
