Seeing that Su Qing really wanted to leave, Wu Yan quickly stopped him: "Your Majesty, please take a rest."

Su Qing raised her eyes: "Huh?"

Wu Yan said: "I have already sent a letter to Master Yuwen, and there will be a reply in two days at most. How about we wait two more days?

Even if you use the best war horse to get from here to Shuozhou, it will take you at least four days, and you won’t even have time..."

Cuiying was a little anxious: "We still have to wait two days?! My parents are not in a hurry at all! If you don't go, I will go by myself!"

Wu Yan gave Yue Feng a wink, and Yue Feng walked quietly behind Cuiying, raised his hand and gave her a knife. Cuiying fainted immediately, and Yue Feng helped Cuiying sit aside.

Wu Yan said: "I have seen the valley over there. Although it is cruel to say this, the people there are basically hopeless..."

Su Qing was silent. How could he not know that with so many people crowded together, cross-infection could occur. It is difficult to save people in modern times with advanced medical skills, let alone in this backward ancient times, there is no way to save them.

Everyone knows it, but they are not willing to face this fact. After all, there are so many lives. Cuiying probably knew it in her heart, but after all, her parents were inside, so she couldn't calm down, always thinking that there would be a miracle.

Wu Yan asked: "What should I do?"

Su Qing sighed: "Save those who survive if you can, and burn the others on the spot."

Burned on the spot, everyone was shocked when they heard these four words. Burned on the spot, not even a whole body was left, and in the end, only a handful of ashes was left.

Since ancient times, people have been paying attention to how they will be buried. What they will look like when they are buried will be what they will look like in the next life. Therefore, people hope that their bodies will be intact when they are buried in the coffin.

Only those who have committed the most heinous crimes will be burned at the stake, and those in the valley are all innocent people who are sick!

"Your Majesty, are you going to crush them to ashes?!" someone couldn't help but ask.

Su Qing didn't know how to explain to these people that thousands of years of deep-rooted thoughts were not so easy to break.

Su Qing said coldly: "This is the best way, otherwise we will let them infect others? There must be a choice between living people and dead people. Which one do you choose?"

"That's not possible..." Someone wanted to continue.

Wu Yan interrupted: "Shut up! Stop talking!"

After saying that, Wu Yan knelt down with a plop, kowtowed to Su Qing and said: "Your Majesty, forgive me, it's because they don't understand things..."

Su Qing turned away, not wanting to say anything else, but just said: "I know, get up..."

Cuiying woke up midway. She didn't know what happened in front of her, but the atmosphere in the cave was a bit depressing, and she couldn't say anything.

Time passed little by little, and Wu Yan's letter finally got a reply, which was a little later than expected. The boy who brought the letter was young, wearing a scout uniform, and personally handed the letter into Wu Yan's hands.

Su Qing learned from their conversation that someone led troops to surround the prefect's mansion and imprisoned Jia Xin without even listening to his excuse.

Now, the army is rushing to the nearby valley, and it is estimated that they will arrive by now.

Su Qing stood up, patted the dirt on his body, and walked out. Wu Yan quickly followed: "Your Majesty, where are you going?"

Su Qing didn't say anything, just walked out. He suddenly had a bad premonition just now, and that feeling made him eager to leave here.

Su Qing walked forward, followed by Wu Yan. Su Qing said coldly: "Don't follow me."

Wu Yan felt bitter in his heart, but he still had to follow, and he could not forcefully ask His Majesty to listen to him. For a moment, he didn't know what to do.

Just as soon as he exited the cave, Su Qing stopped suddenly, and Wu Yan who followed him was also stunned for a moment. It turned out that there was already a group of troops surrounding the entrance of the cave.

"Your Majesty is in a hurry, where are you going?" someone asked.

Su Qing said nothing and only looked at the source of the sound. I saw the crowd parting to both sides, and a person slowly walked out from the middle of the crowd. Wearing rich brocade clothes and an extraordinary imposing manner, he stood there leisurely. The aura of a man in a position of authority made people afraid to look directly at him.

"Lord Yuwen!" Wu Yan and his group knelt on one knee and said, "I have met Lord Yuwen."

Wu Yan and his party knelt down, and Su Qing, the only one standing, seemed very awkward. There was a row of people kneeling behind him, not on himself, but on Yu Wenwen across from him.

There was a row of people standing behind Yu Wenzhang. No one knelt down, even if the monarch was opposite. The scene suddenly became a bit ironic.

Yu Wenzhang said "hmm" and waved his hand to let Wu Yan and his party stand up, but his eyes were on Su Qing from the beginning to the end.

There was a smile in his eyes, and there was no hidden amusement in them.

"His Majesty disappeared from the palace without saying a word. I spent a long time looking for His Majesty. I spent every day worrying about His Majesty's mood. Unexpectedly, as soon as I met, Your Majesty was about to leave again..."

Su Qing's good mood after finally escaping was gone the moment he saw Yu Wenzhang. He was in a terrible mood now and was in no mood to talk nonsense with Yu Wenzhang.

Although Yu Wenwen had a smile on his face, he was also furious inside. God knows how much trouble the emperor's escape would bring to him! He has basically not been idle these days. He has been dealing with messes. When he was most annoyed, he wanted to kill this little emperor! Therefore, when he received Wu Yan's letter, he immediately led his troops to capture the emperor and return him to the palace.

The two people fell into a stalemate for a while, Su Qing stood aside expressionlessly, and although Yu Wenwen had a smile on his face, it didn't reach his eyes.

Su Qing was the first to move. Seeing that he couldn't get out, he turned around and walked back into the cave without saying a word.

Yu Wenwen ordered the people around him not to come in no matter what they heard. After looking at the entrance of the cave, he lifted his robe and strode in.

In the cave, Su Qing sat on a big rock with her arms folded expressionlessly, closing her eyes to relax.

Yu Wenwen strode in and stood in front of Su Qing. There were only two of them in the cave, so Yu Wenwen no longer had any worries.

"Why did you run out?" Yu Wenzhang said coldly.

Su Qing turned slightly and turned her head to the other side, not wanting to look at Yu Wenwen's face or speak.

Unexpectedly, his chin was clamped violently, and Su Qing was forced to face Yu Wenzhang. Su Qing couldn't help but frown at the pain coming from his jaw.

"Let me ask you, why did you run out?" Yu Wenzhang asked again.

Su Qing: "Let go."

Not only did Yu Wenzhang not listen to Su Qing, he also became more aggressive.

Su Qing waved away Yu Wenwen's hand, and then said: "Just like I asked you to let go and you didn't let go, this is the reason why I left. You want to have an obedient puppet, but I don't want to be a thing in your hands anymore. Son. Just think that I died outside and find someone to be the emperor again."

Yu Wenzhang looked at Su Qing coldly, and Su Qing looked directly at him. Suddenly Yu Wenwen grabbed Su Qing's neck. The huge force made Su Qing lie down directly, and Yu Wenwen pinched her neck and pressed her against the stone.

Su Qing's head hit the stone. The severe pain made his vision go dark and he almost fainted. Yu Wenzhang's fingers tightened little by little, and Su Qing was choked so hard that she couldn't breathe and began to struggle involuntarily. But Yu Wenzhang's strength was too great. No matter how hard Su Qing struggled, he could not move an inch.

As time passed, Su Qing's struggle became weaker and weaker. Seeing that he was about to be strangled to death in the cave, Yu Wenwen let go of his hand.

Fresh air suddenly rushed into the lungs, and Su Qing couldn't take a breath and choked herself to death.

"Cough cough cough..."

Suddenly a violent coughing sound came from the cave.

Cuiying was a little worried: "What happened inside?"

Wu Yan glanced at the cave, and then said: "It's nothing, we just wait here."
