I remember that after General Wen was captured, a emerald green insect ran out of his body, spread its wings, and intended to attack Yan Ruyu.

When Yan Ruyu recalled that scene, she got goose bumps all over her body.

What if this weirdo also has it in his body?

Huo Changhe knew very well that she was afraid of all kinds of insects, let alone strange ones like this, so he hurried over to block her sight.

Until now, they still don't know what kind of insect it is.

After the one inside General Wen's body was caught, it was given to Miaomiao to see, but when he opened the bamboo tube, the green worm had turned into green powder.

It's impossible to verify.

In just a moment, countless thoughts flashed through Yan Ruyu's mind.

Suddenly, a faint whistle sounded.

She immediately came back to her senses, magnified her five senses, and instantly, all sounds were clear to her ears.

Close your eyes slightly, clear your mind, and listen attentively.

Then, he suddenly opened his eyes and pointed to the southeast: "Over there!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Jingyao jumped up with his toes, leaped over the treetops, and headed straight over there.

Wen Zhiyan still didn't dare to relax. The tip of the sword was against the monster's throat, and his eyes looked in the direction where Li Jingyao disappeared.

Li Jingyao blended into the night and his back was no longer visible.

Yan Ruyu listened carefully and heard the sound of footsteps on roof tiles in the distance. It was subtle, but not like Li Jingyao's.

The sleeves of clothes fluttered in the wind, the sound of tiles disappeared, and another person fell up.

Yan Ruyu narrowed her eyes and stared in that direction.

Wen Zhiyan suddenly let out a low cry, and Huo Changhe and Yan Ruyu both turned their eyes to him.

He looked surprised and a little confused.

The tip of his sword pierced the strange man's throat.

"This..." He didn't know how to explain, "It was clearly..."

It's obvious that I can't penetrate it.

Yan Ruyu wanted to go forward, but Huo Changhe whispered, "I'll go."

Huo Changhe stabbed the monster's chest with his sword, and the sword went in without any resistance.

Completely different from the previous iron-hard one.

Although Yan Ruyu was standing far away, she could still see clearly that the strange man was lying on the ground, motionless.

Only the traces on the ground showed that he had struggled violently before.

His face was gray, his eyes were cloudy, and there were strange traces of mucus on his lips.

Yan Ruyu prepared herself mentally for a while, then switched her eyes and looked inside his body.

I unconsciously clenched my hands.

But, there were no green bugs this time.

Even so, it can be seen that the monster's body has already been corrupted.

Just a dead person.

Yan Ruyu returned her eyes to their normal state and whispered, "Your Highness, there is no need to look at him anymore. He died a long time ago."

Huo Changhe noticed something strange when he thrust his sword in just now. The feeling was completely different from stabbing a living person.

Wen Zhiyan was surprised: "Why did he suddenly..."

Yan Ruyu looked in the direction where Li Jingyao disappeared: "It wasn't sudden, it should be the whistle."

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Jingyao came back.

"Let him run away."

"What happened?" Li Jingyao lowered his head in surprise, "Dead?"

Huo Changhe nodded: "After the whistle, there is a dead person. That whistle seems to be the end of everything."

Li Jingyao frowned: "It's really weird."

He had seen countless strange things while traveling around the world, but this one still surprised him.

Huo Changhe asked: "When you visited the families where bodies were lost before, did you record what kind of bodies were lost and their simple characteristics?"

Li Jingyao understood what he meant instantly: "Yes, it's on the list of lost property."

Yan Ruyu asked: "Your Highness, do you suspect that this person is one of those corpses?"

Huo Changhe nodded: "Besides this, I can't think of anything else for now."

Wen Zhiyan pursed his lips and said nothing. The man in front of him reminded him of his father. They were very similar, yet there were many differences.

Li Jingyao looked at his pale face, frowned and asked, "Are you okay?"

Wen Zhiyan shook his head. Huo Changhe said, "How can he be alright? Jingyao, take him back first, and call Doctor Cao on the way."

"Yu'er, you..."

Yan Ruyu handed a bottle of pills to Wen Zhiyan: "Take two pills first. Doctor Cao is in his clinic. The prince and I will take care of things here."

Wen Zhiyan took the medicine bottle and nodded.

Li Jingyao urged: "Hurry up, treat the wound first."

The two of them walked quickly, and Yan Ruyu and Huo Changhe still had to send away the people from the governor's mansion.

It would be fine if I didn't encounter it, but if I was caught, I have to explain it.

Yan Ruyu also wanted to take the body back and not hand it over to the governor's mansion for the time being.

"Your Majesty, I will put the body in a cloth bag and store it in the space. I will leave Cui Liang to you to deal with."

"no problem."

Huo Changhe stretched out his hand: "Give me the bag, I'll put it in, don't touch it."

Yan Ruyu took out a body bag. This thing was always available before and it was used here today as well.

Huo Changhe touched the bag and said, "It's a pity to use this kind of bag to hold it."

Yan Ruyu: "..."

After the body was packed, Huo Changhe went to see Cui Liang, and Yan Ruyu put the body bag into the space.

He searched the surroundings carefully again, erasing all traces of the fight and anything related.

After she packed up, Huo Changhe sent Cui Liang and his group away.

Li Jingyao brought Wen Zhiyan to see Doctor Cao, thinking they would disturb his sleep, but the light was still on in Doctor Cao's room.

He was discussing medical skills with Sun Chuchu and Miaomiao. Miaomiao hardly said anything, while he and Sun Chuchu were arguing heatedly.

Seeing Li Jingyao coming, he was startled at first: "Who? Hey? Chief Li, why is it you? And Wen...what's going on?!"

He quickly asked Wen Zhiyan to sit down, and when he saw his wound, he immediately asked Sun Chuchu to bring the lamp.

Li Jingyao was nervous. He knew that the wound was poisonous and he was worried to begin with. When he saw him rushing around, he felt even more worried.

The lights came on, and Li Jingyao observed Doctor Cao's expression and felt a little puzzled. Doctor Cao did not look nervous or worried at all, but was full of excitement.

Li Jingyao: “?”

Doctor Cao used a pair of small scissors to cut off Wen Zhiyan's clothes first, and then used small tweezers to pinch a little bit of flesh.

"Look, this is the epidermis, here is the dermis, and here is the muscle."

Li Jingyao: “???”

Wen Zhiyan also looked puzzled.

"Look here," Sun Chuchu pointed, "is this considered dead and needs to be cut off?"

"Yes, that's right." Doctor Cao said seriously, "These are capillaries..."

Li Jingyao could no longer bear it: "I say, you two, this wound is poisonous..."

Doctor Cao nodded: "I know, I saw it. Look, this spot is black."

Sun Chuchu said seriously: "That's right."

Li Jingyao: You two are the poisonous ones!

Doctor Cao looked up at Wen Zhiyan and said, "Have you ever taken the pills given by the princess?"

"Exactly."

"Then there's no need to rush," Doctor Cao cleaned his wound. "After you take the pill, the toxicity will be controlled. The golden medicine I have here is of the best quality. You need to wait until the pill's effect is halfway exerted before using it. This will have the best effect."

"Princess, this is to give you some time," Doctor Cao asked, "Where are you from? What were you doing in the middle of the night?"
