Don't disturb me, I won't be a concubine

The sharp arrow pierced the bearded man's neck. It happened so fast that his eyes widened. He looked down at the trembling arrow feathers in front of him in disbelief, and spit out a large mouthful of blood. He didn't even have time to look up to see who killed him.

The bearded man fell to the ground with a bang. The victims were so frightened that they stepped back one after another, looking at the man who shot the arrow in horror.

The man was riding on a horse, holding a longbow. He had a handsome face, but he looked bloodthirsty. Behind him were a group of people wearing uniform black clothes and silver masks, which made people feel cold.

"It's the Insiders..." Someone among the victims recognized their attire and said in fear, "It's the Insiders who kill without blinking!"

The whereabouts of the experts are erratic and they do secret things for the emperor. Anyone who sees them usually ends up badly.

In the Great Yin, the three words "Inner Experts" are well-known, but most people do not say anything nice when they mention them, especially among ordinary people, whose names can stop children from crying at night.

At this time, I saw the people from the inside out with my own eyes, and they really killed anyone they saw as the rumors said. Even the few people who had caused the most trouble at the beginning didn't dare to make a sound.

Cui Qiyan put down the child in his hand, turned around and said, "Deputy Commander Lu, this place should not be under the jurisdiction of your inner experts."

Lu Siheng put down his bow and got off his horse.

"I passed by here and saw the victims rioting and about to rush out of the camp. This place is not far from the capital. The inner experts have the responsibility to protect the safety of the emperor. I think I have the right to punish the leader of the riot."

"Deputy Commander Lu is overthinking. I will not let anyone step out of the camp, and I will not let them endanger the safety of His Majesty."

"So Prince Cui is blaming me for meddling in other people's business?" Lu Siheng raised the corner of his mouth.

"Your Highness, something bad has happened..." Envoy Chen pushed aside the victims and came over with a panicked look on his face.

Cui Qiyan stopped arguing with Lu Siheng and turned around.

"Envoy Chen, what happened?"

Chen Yuanshi panted and said, "Those victims infected with the plague are trying to leave the tents. Our people can hardly stop them. Miss Dong and the two doctors are still inside..."

Cui Qiyan's face changed drastically. "General Xu, I leave this to you. The imperial guards will follow me——"

Could it be that the person inside was Dong Jiafu? Lu Siheng was startled and ordered, "Yue Qi, guard the door."

Yue Qi knew what he was going to do and said worriedly, "Boss, the people inside are all infected with the plague, you must be careful."

Lu Siheng took out a black scarf from his body, covered his face and chased after him.

Tan Hao and others were still trying to stop them, but the victims became anxious when they couldn't get out and even reached out to tear the silk cloths on their faces.

Three people from the Imperial Hospital were unable to dodge and had their silk cloths torn off by the victims. The three were horrified and quickly covered their mouths and noses with their hands and ran to the back.

Without them, the fence was about to fall apart due to the shaking of the victims.

At the critical moment, Cui Qiyan arrived with the imperial guards and drew their swords together.

"Everyone go back! Anyone who dares to move will be killed without mercy!"

The blade flashed with a cold light. When the infected victims saw the other victims being controlled, they immediately lost their spirits and retreated back into the tent.

Tan Hao breathed a sigh of relief, "Fortunately, Master Cui arrived in time..."

Hey, where are the people?

Tan Hao paused while wiping his sweat, and then looked up to see Cui Qiyan had already rushed into the tent. Then another figure in black clothes and a mask rushed in. He didn't see who it was, but he suddenly reacted.

"Oh no, Miss Dong is still in there!"

The victims were so crazy just now. If they had tried to pull the silk cloth off Miss Dong's face, the consequences would have been disastrous.

Cui Qiyan ran into the tent but didn't see Dong Jiafu, so he searched for her like crazy, shouting.

"Dong Jiafu, where are you? Dong Jiafu——"

Dong Jiafu stood up from the ground and raised her hands, "Um, I'm here."

The next moment, she was held tightly in Cui Qiyan's arms.

Dong Jiafu was stunned and could even feel him trembling slightly, and his heartbeat was clearly audible.

She reached out her hand to push him away, and heard him say in her ear: "Thank God you're okay..."

Her hands slowly dropped and clenched.

"Jiafu, it's really you. Are you okay?" Lu Siheng chased after her.

Dong Jiafu quickly broke free and asked in surprise, "Why is Lord Lu here?"

Lu Siheng ignored Cui Qiyan's unfriendly look and said, "I was just passing by after finishing my errands. I heard something strange was going on here, so I came over."

Doctor Tan, Tan Hao and others also came in a hurry.

"Miss Dong, are you okay?" Tan Hao asked.

Dong Jiafu nodded, "Master, Senior Brother, don't worry, I'm fine. I hid when the turmoil happened just now."

"Well done." Doctor Tan said with satisfaction.

Then Chen Yuanshi also arrived, and he felt relieved when he knew that they were all fine.

The tent was not a place to talk, so after Cui Qi Yan had made all the arrangements, several people came out.

Dong Jiafu saw that there were no victims outside, so she thought the situation should be stable.

"Why would the victims suddenly riot?" she asked.

"The specific reason is still unclear. Except for the one who died, the other leaders have been arrested. We will know after the next trial." Cui Qi Yan replied.

"Someone else died?"

"Yes, I killed him." Lu Siheng said calmly, "I think he was the one who instigated the victims. What he said was not human. He deserved to die."

Cui Qiyan glanced at him and said, "Things here have been settled. Shouldn't Deputy Commander Lu leave as well?"

"Didn't they say that the city gates are sealed and no one is allowed to enter the city? In this case, we in the inner circle cannot disobey the order. I cannot go back to the capital to prevent the victims from rioting again. I decided to stay. I will write a memorial to the emperor in a moment, and I will also apologize to the emperor for shooting the victims today."

Lu Siheng had thought of everything. Whether they could stay or not was up to the emperor, and Cui Qi Yan couldn't say much.

"Jackie, there are riots and plague here. It's too dangerous. Why are you here?" Lu Siheng asked.

"The plague is spreading, and a doctor is needed here. I was providing free medical treatment to the victims in the city before, and I came here when I heard about it."

Cui Qi Yan felt unhappy when he heard how Lu Siheng addressed Dong Jiafu, so he turned around and called Lieutenant General Xu.

"Deputy Commander Lu wants to stay. Please take him to arrange accommodation."

Lieutenant General Xu received the order, "Deputy Commander Lu, please follow me."

"There's no rush about this. Lieutenant General Xu can just take care of the arrangements." Lu Siheng said with a smile.

"The campsite is not big. If you stay, you will need to set up your tents again. Vice Commander Lu should go and take a look."

Lu Siheng looked at Cui Qi Yan meaningfully, thinking back to when Cui Qi Yan was hugging Dong Jiafu so nervously in the tent just now, and that he was deliberately trying to get him away.

If it were in the past, he would definitely not do as Cui Qi Yan wanted, but now that he has retreated to the position of a friend, it is not impossible to give them a chance to be alone together.

"Okay, let's go take a look."

Lu Siheng followed Lieutenant General Xu and left.
