Then, another old voice sounded: "I, an old woman, can also testify that Doctor Yun is not a spy. It was Doctor Yun who gave me acupuncture yesterday, and I was able to sleep well. For all these years, I have never had a good night's sleep because of the pain in my legs."

The voice was filled with gratitude.

Then, someone else shouted, "And me, the medicine in my hand was specially sent out of the city by Doctor Yun today. Doctor Yun is definitely not a spy."

More and more people stood up to defend Yun Qingluo, and they all said that they had received treatment or help from Yun Qingluo.

Finally, a unified voice rang out from the crowd: "We can all testify."

These voices intertwined together to form a powerful force, causing the guards who originally doubted Doctor Yun to begin to waver.

Yun Qingluo was very surprised. She hadn't even started to exert her strength yet, so why were these people so protective of her?

Yun Qingluo was somewhat touched, but more confused.

The ghost doctor had a smug smile on his face. He pulled Yun Qingluo's master through the crowd, came to Yun Qingluo's side, and said in a low voice: "How is it, did we do a good job? I felt that something big was going to happen, so I asked your master to distribute these medicines in your name early this morning, and told everyone that as long as Doctor Yun was there, they would be saved."

After hearing these words, Yun Qingluo felt warm in her heart and a relieved smile appeared on her face. So that's how it was, everything made sense.

She turned around and took a deep look at the ghost doctor and her master, her eyes full of gratitude, and said softly, "Thank you, Master and Junior Uncle."

However, at this moment, an angry shout broke the silence and startled everyone.

Cheng Qing's face turned ashen, his eyes showing endless anger and majesty, and he shouted loudly: "What are you still hesitating about? Immediately, right now! Take down all these guys for me!" His voice was like thunder, resounding throughout the courtyard, making people feel afraid.

However, the guards around them, who were supposed to execute the order quickly, seemed a little hesitant.

They looked at each other, their eyes revealing a complex emotion that was hard to describe, because among the group of people who just stepped forward were their family members.

This sudden situation put these battle-hardened guards in a dilemma.

At the same time, Yun Qingluo was always calmly observing every move around him.

Soon, she noticed something was wrong with the guards - their eyes kept unconsciously looking towards the crowd. Yun Qingluo followed their gazes and looked at them one by one, and suddenly she understood.

Found it. Perhaps some of the patients here are the relatives of these guards. Faced with such a situation, no wonder they are so indecisive and at a loss...

The following words confirmed her guess.

"Xiao Hu! Don't be stupid. If it weren't for Doctor Yun's miraculous healing skills and acupuncture, I wouldn't even have the strength to stand here and talk to you today. So, don't act impulsively. Doctor Yun is definitely not a spy." Aunt Sun persuaded a guard in front of her with an anxious look on her face.

Another woman who was supported by the young lady beside her also followed up and said, "Yes, child! We must be conscientious! It is not so important whether you are an official or not, but if you do things that go against your conscience, you will be punished by God! We must not be so foolish!"

At this moment, Cheng Qing saw the hesitation on the guard's face and was immediately furious. He shouted, "Have you forgotten who you are working for? Anyone who dares to disobey orders today will be killed without mercy!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he quickly drew the sword from his waist and swung it at one of the guards who tried to retreat without hesitation.

In an instant, a cold light flashed, and a tiny blood mark instantly appeared on the guard's neck, followed by a trickle of blood oozing out from it.

The guard's body trembled, his eyes widened, and he slowly fell backwards to the ground.

"Cheng Qing, how dare you!" Xu Sheng's eyes widened with anger.

Cheng Qing sneered, pointed his sword at Xu Sheng, and said sarcastically, "Xu Sheng, you can't protect anyone today."

"Hurry and capture them. Whoever takes another step back will be like you." Cheng Qing wiped the water off his face and ordered in a cold voice.

Just as Xu Sheng was about to draw his sword, Yun Qingluo pushed it back.

"I didn't expect that there is such a powerful person in this place. He actually uses such a poor excuse to put us to death. My Lord City Lord, it is not a wise move for you to rashly draw your sword and confront him at this moment." Yun Qingluo's face was as calm as water, but his tone was not hurried. He slowly spoke to Xu Sheng.

Hearing this, Xu Sheng could not help but frown slightly, but his eyes were still as firm as a rock. He said in a deep voice: "Doctor Yun, please rest assured, I will protect you and will never let these people hurt you in the slightest."

Yun Qingluo raised her lips slightly, revealing a faint smile, as warm as the spring breeze, and she whispered: "This person is quite clever. As soon as he appeared, he labeled us as spies of the enemy country without any distinction. In this way, whether we choose to resist or obey, we can't escape the bad luck. If we resist, they will definitely kill us on the spot for treason; but if we don't resist and surrender, we will be regarded as guilty and afraid of the crime, and we will also be hard to escape the blame."

Doctor Zhou was anxious, "What should we do then? Can we just let them turn white into black?"

Yun Qingluo's face was stern, and he said in a cold tone: "Humph! Is he the only one who has the ability to say white is black? Don't forget, he is not the only one with a mouth. We can also say black is white. There is no reason in this world to convict people just by their mouths."

After saying this, she walked forward with firm and steady steps, each step seemed to be filled with endless determination and courage.

Just as she stopped and stood firm, Mo Beichen moved to her side almost instantly.

He held Yun Qingluo's hand tightly, silently expressing his support.

Feeling the warmth coming from Mo Beichen's palm, Yun Qingluo couldn't help but feel a warm current in her heart.

This man is always like this, standing silently behind her, giving her unreserved trust and support; at the same time, he always remains vigilant, protecting her with his strong arms to ensure her safety.

Along the way, Yun Qingluo felt that no matter how rugged and dangerous the road ahead was, as long as he was by her side, she would feel fearless.

"Lord Cheng said that I have a way to cure their disease, so he concluded that I am a spy sent by the enemy country?" Yun Qingluo collected her thoughts, turned to face Cheng Qing and asked in a cold voice.

Cheng Qing carefully glanced at Mo Beichen standing beside her, and after finding that he had no intention of interrupting, he slowly responded: "We have gathered so many great doctors with excellent medical skills here, but they have no idea how to treat this kind of disease. And you, you just showed up here, and just took the pulse of that lady, but you have 100% confidence that you can cure them. Do you dare to say shamelessly that you don't have a good prescription?"

Yun Qingluo raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile, and chuckled: "Can we jump to conclusions based on just this one point? In this way, if any of the doctors present claim that they are absolutely sure that they can cure it, does it mean that this person will also be regarded as a spy from the enemy country?"

"Shut up, don't talk nonsense here, I have never said such a thing." Cheng Qing's face suddenly changed, and he hurriedly shouted to stop them. After all, those genius doctors are all famous and respected people in Xumi Continent. With his current status and strength, he can't offend them easily.

"Oh? Isn't that what Lord Cheng meant? Could it be that seeing that Lord Xu brought us here to treat the patients, Lord Cheng is worried that the credit will be taken away from him?" Yun Qingluo continued to guess slowly.

"That was never my intention. Come, arrest this charlatan who is talking nonsense." Cheng Qing yelled to the people behind him.

"Oh, I was a spy from the enemy country just now, and now I've turned into a swindler. Lord Cheng, your remarks seem to be a little untenable." Yun Qingluo said sarcastically.

Yun Qingluo said loudly, "My fellow villagers, I am here to cure your illness. As for whether you are a spy from the enemy country, I believe you all have sharp eyes, and I will not refute this."

"Shut up and stop talking nonsense." Cheng Qing roared.

"Lord Cheng said that the people your highness invited to treat the people were spies from the enemy country? Could this mean that your highness has colluded with the enemy and committed treason?" A cold voice suddenly interrupted.

"Go away, who are you... Ying. Lord Ying? Lord Ying, why are you here? I'm sorry for not welcoming you in person. Please forgive me, Lord Ying." Cheng Qing turned around and looked at the source of the voice, and the words on his lips suddenly changed.

"If I hadn't come here, I wouldn't have known that there was such a daring person here who dared to offend His Highness's distinguished guest. Cheng, Cheng Qing, right? He's very courageous, isn't he?"

Xiaoyi screamed in the system: "So handsome, so handsome, I didn't expect this shadow to be so handsome!"

Yun Qingluo's head ached from Xiaoyi's screams, and she couldn't help but frown and said, "Shut up, Xiaoyi, are you a man or a woman?"

Xiaoyi mumbled in response: "What do you know? This appears just in time."

At this time, Shadow appeared in front of everyone, and his appearance made the air around him become oppressive.

Cheng Qing and the others felt Shadow Lord's powerful aura, and they all lowered their heads in awe.

Yun Qingluo looked at the shadow and was secretly surprised.

Shadow's eyes fell on Yun Qingluo, and a trace of concern flashed in his eyes. He asked softly, "Are you two injured?"

Yun Qingluo shook his head and said with a smile: "Thank you for your concern, Shadow Lord. We are not injured."

Shadow nodded, then turned to look at Cheng Qing and the others, and said in a cold tone: "Do you know your mistake?"

Cheng Qing quickly bowed his head and admitted his mistake: "I know I was wrong, please forgive me, Mr. Ying."

Yun Qingluo glanced at Mo Beichen quietly, but Mo Beichen just shook his head at her.

Yun Qingluo was a little surprised. She moved closer to Mo Beichen and whispered, "You don't even know Shadow is here?"

Mo Beichen shook his head and whispered, imitating her, "I don't know. My people only found out that Xuanming's forces have been following us, but we didn't expect that Shadow would come in person."

Yun Qingluo was surprised. "That means Xuanming didn't plan to send Shadow from the beginning. Could it be that there is some big move here?"

Mo Beichen squeezed her hand and said, "You'll know after asking later."

The situation was suddenly broken by the arrival of Shadow.

"Come here, Cheng Qing has plundered the people's blood and sweat, embezzled relief grain, and claimed credit for others' work. He will be temporarily imprisoned in the dungeon of the City Lord's Mansion. When you return, escort him back to the capital to await your Highness's decision."

As the shadow raised the imperial sword, several figures jumped out and took Cheng Qing down.

Cheng Qing opened his mouth to say something, but was blocked by a rag that someone found from somewhere.

Yun Qingluo cursed inwardly, “You deserved it!” and watched Cheng Qing being dragged away while whimpering.

Shadow turned to the crowd and said, "Please rest assured, Doctor Yun was indeed invited by His Highness to help everyone. With her here, no one will be in any trouble."

After Shadow finished speaking, he felt a cold gaze directed at him. He looked in the direction of its source and saw Mo Beichen staring at him gloomily and dissatisfiedly.

Did he know?

The voices of the crowd interrupted Shadow's thoughts.

"Great! I said His Highness would not ignore us. Humph, that dog official even dared to say that Doctor Yun was a spy. In my opinion, he is the spy."

"That's right, you bastard. If the city lord hadn't stood by us all these years, we would have been killed by him long ago."

"Fortunately, we have the city lord to back us up. This dog official actually embezzled our relief food. Where does our food come from?"

"Yes, yes, where does the food we eat come from?"

Everyone looked at Xu Sheng, and Xu Sheng looked away and lowered his head.

Shadow said loudly, "It was City Lord Xu who emptied his family's coffers to collect food from several nearby cities. In addition, thank you all for supporting the policy of storing food for the people. Otherwise, more people would have starved to death now."

"Lord Ying is right. The fact that we can have porridge every day in such difficult times is the result of the causes you sowed in the past." Xu Sheng stood up and said loudly.

"Great, now that Lord Ying is here, we will definitely be saved. Earlier, that bastard official secretly sent someone to tell us that if we left the city, we would be dead, and even the Great Luo Immortals could not save us. Humph, what a slap in the face."

Mo Beichen had good hearing, and when he heard such a sentence unexpectedly, he frowned slightly.

Cheng Qing had already sent people to spread this news? Then everyone in the city probably knew about this rumor.

"City Lord Xu, please excuse me and let me talk for a moment." Mo Beichen took the initiative to walk to City Lord Xu and spoke to him in a low voice.

Xu Sheng was a little confused, but seeing that Mo Beichen was frowning, he nodded and led him to a deserted place.

The shouts of the people behind him became quieter, and Xu Sheng stopped walking. He turned back and clasped his fists to Mo Beichen and said, "Thank you for your help just now, Lord Mo. I wonder what Lord Mo wants to talk to me about?"
