The prefect looked at Wan Shufang in surprise, as if he had never thought that she would say such a thing.

He couldn't help but take a quick look at Wan Shufang, and began to wonder whether the news coming from the capital was true or false.

However, no matter whether the news was true or false, the prefect quickly adjusted his mood and said with a hint of sadness in his voice: "If the people are troubled by diseases, what should we do when we go to war? Not to mention that some diseases are very serious. It can easily turn into a plague.”

When the word "plague" was mentioned, the prefect was very frightened, and his eyes looked at Wan Shufang with a little more respect.

The change in his eyes was obvious. Wan Shufang noticed it at a glance and felt a little strange in her heart.

There has never been a plague in California City. The prefect could not leave California City without the emperor's order. Why did he change his mind when he heard about the plague?

Unable to understand this, Wan Shufang's eyes were as cold as ice caves emitting cold air, but the cold air was fleeting.

She flipped her hair carelessly, nodded slightly and said, "What you said makes sense. I was the one who was helpless before."

She even gave the prefect a blessing as she spoke. It felt as if she truly realized how much the prefect said was good for the people.

If she is arrogant and unreasonable, it means she does not take the people into consideration. If something really happens to the people, the prefect may take the opportunity to act to damage her reputation.

Zhao Yunhui glanced at her in surprise, seemingly unaware that Wan Shufang recognized the prefect's words so quickly.

He thought that Wan Shufang had doubts about the prefect after listening to Zhao Yu's words, so he came to see the situation.

"Even the people of Pingyang City..."

Zhao Yunhui wanted to remind Wan Shufang, but was interrupted by the prefect as soon as he started talking.

"General Zhao, I believe that the general's wife will be able to take care of your worries in Pingyang City."

He put a big label on Wan Shufang with just one sentence. Zhao Yunhui felt more and more that he had evil intentions, and his face suddenly became a little ugly.

Just as he was about to refute the prefect's words, Wan Shufang smiled and said: "General Zhao, I think what the prefect said is very true. In that case, we won't waste any time. Let's just set off this afternoon."

"So fast?" The prefect was surprised.

Zhao Yunhui was silent for a moment, and then glanced at Wan Shufang. Seeing her invisibly nodding to him, he knew that she also suspected that there was something wrong with the prefect.

The reason why she listened to the prefect and took the medicinal materials to Ping'an Prefecture was because she wanted to find out what the prefect was planning.

After understanding that Wan Shufang had similar ideas to his own, Zhao Yunhui immediately agreed.

"Since you have this intention, I can only do my best to help you."

After finishing speaking, Zhao Yunhui called a few people in and asked them to follow Wan Shufang.

An hour later, Wan Shufang took them and several large carriages of medicinal materials to Pingyang City.

Not long after she left, the prefect quietly sent someone to deliver the news.

Zhao Yunhui kept staring at him, trying to intercept the message he sent. He never thought that the person who sent the message was good at martial arts and was very familiar with California City. His people lost him by making a mistake.

Zhao Yunhui was startled, and immediately told Chen Changli what happened in California City using the legend of flying pigeons, and then sent Zhao Yu to lead people to catch up with Wan Shufang.

The speed of the flying pigeon was not slow. Chen Changli received the news quickly, his face was calm and a little cold.

"The prefect of California City has a problem, so does the prefect of Pingyang City. After all, what the White Lotus Sect is best at is deceiving people. Ping'an Prefecture was occupied by the White Lotus Sect so quickly. Doesn't it mean that the officials have nothing to do."

Chen Changli thought about the key point of the problem, and felt more and more that the officialdom in the southwest had been infiltrated by the White Lotus Sect.

He couldn't help but clenched his hands into fists, but his mind was turning rapidly, and soon an idea came to his mind.

But whether this idea is true or not, he still has to spend some time to verify it.

But Wan Shufang was coming to Pingyang City, and he was worried about her safety, so he suppressed the complicated and unclear thoughts, and immediately disguised himself as a refugee and mixed in with some people to sneak to Pingyang City.

In order to allow him to leave the city smoothly, Chen Changli also asked his subordinates to pretend that he was operating in Ping'an Prefecture.

Because he was too worried about Wan Shufang, Chen Changli rushed on his way desperately.

At a quarter of the hour, Chen Changli arrived at Pingyang City, and Wan Shufang was about to arrive at this time.

Chen Changli estimated the time and went to the North City Gate to wait for her. He didn't want to bump into someone coming to the North City Gate to explain something to the defenders.

Because of the distance, Chen Changli did not hear what this man said.

Thinking of the letter from Zhao Yunhui, he guessed that this person wanted to let the city defenders capture Wan Shufang.

After confirming that the prefect of California City also had manpower in Pingyang City, Chen Changli was extremely anxious.

Wan Shufang must not enter Pingyang City, otherwise she will be in danger.

Chen Changli's mind was stable despite the storm, and he was about to pass the review of the city guards and leave the city soon. Unexpectedly, Wan Shufang arrived at this time with the medicinal materials and people.

Chen Changli watched several carriages appear in front of him one after another. He didn't know that it was Wan Shufang who had arrived. His heart suddenly clenched together, and various thoughts were running rapidly in his mind.

He glanced at the city defender out of the corner of his eye, then rushed up and slapped him.

"What are you doing?" The beaten defenders were shocked and angry.

The middle-aged man who had not yet left didn't know what he was thinking of, but a pair of cold eyes flashed with an almost invisible cold light, "This man must be an imperial criminal, catch him quickly!"

His voice was high and shrill, and not only did the city defenders react quickly to catch Chen Changli, but even some people were frightened and fell into chaos.

They were very afraid that Chen Changli would hurt themselves if he became aggressive, and they all wanted to stay away from him.

Chen Changli wanted the chaos of the situation, so he deliberately put some effort into dealing with the city defenders.

So in just a few breaths, chaos broke out at the gate of Beicheng.

Wan Shufang, who was sitting in the carriage, also heard the noise and thought it was just the common people and the city defenders quarreling.

She didn't want to take it seriously at first, she just wanted to get into the city as soon as possible.

Then she heard the sound getting louder and louder, and she felt uneasy in her heart, so she opened the curtain and looked forward.

At this glance, she saw a familiar figure. Although this person was dressed in shabby clothes and had disheveled hair, and looked like a beggar, Wan Shufang was certain in her heart that this person was Chen Changli.

She felt happy and stared at Chen Changli with burning eyes, as if she couldn't get enough of him.

However, Wan Shufang suddenly felt that something was wrong, because Chen Changli had contact with the city defenders, which was completely inconsistent with his status as a powerful martial artist.

"He is..." Wan Shufang felt that something was wrong, and the alarm bell rang. Her mind was also thinking quickly. Chen Changmingming's martial arts was very good. These city defenders were not his opponents at all, so why did he waste time fighting with them? Fighting to the ground.

As soon as she thought about it in her mind, Wan Shufang thought of a possibility. She no longer had to worry about Chen Changli, and quickly jumped off the carriage and took Zhao Yunhui's people away from here in a hurry.

At this moment, the middle-aged man inadvertently turned his head and saw Wan Shufang and others leaving in a hurry. Unexpectedly, his intention was discovered, and he immediately called for people to arrest Wan Shufang.

"Go and catch that woman!"
