C918 918 people panicked

Yan Xiao walked out from the group and stood beside Wei Jin, then spoke up for him: "This matter happened very badly in Huiyang City, many of the lucky people who managed to escape all came to the capital to seek shelter, and if news of this spreads, it will happen sooner or later."

The capital was a place where the Kaiser and nobles lived. The defenses here were stronger than the rest of the country. If those people could survive, they would naturally escape to the capital.

Wei Jin gratefully looked at Yan Xiao, and then, he lowered his head, not daring to speak.

Yan Shuo frowned. Even though he had already known about Ye Man's scheme, those monsters were troublesome to deal with. He was unclear just how many monsters there were in Ye Man's hands.

"What plans do the various officials have?"

After being silent for a while, Yan Shuo's gaze shifted to the officials. Afterwards, he quietly looked at Grand Preceptor Pang's face for a while.

At this time, the Grand Preceptor Pang had his eyes downcast, he did not say a word, and was deep in thought. He did not notice Yan Shuo's question as well as his gaze.

"This isn't necessarily a bad thing. It's better than those monsters suddenly appearing in the capital without any preparation."

Yan Yuan also spoke in a low voice, that phrase "a monster that suddenly popped up" caused Grand Preceptor Pang's eyes that were originally lowered in thought to suddenly tremble, as if Yan Yuan's words had a hidden meaning.

At the scene, other than the Yan family's four uncles, no one could understand the meaning behind Yan Yuan's words. Even the Grand Preceptor Pang who had a guilty conscience only felt slightly astonished in his heart, but didn't think too much about it.

In his opinion, if Yan Yuan and the others really did know about the Grand Preceptor's tricks, they would have long made their move. How could they allow the Grand Preceptor's estate to hide those things?

As long as Shen Qin did not wake up, she would be able to rest easy after the battle between the Nanling and the xieqing had reached the capital.

Yan Yuan's words made sense, and those in the great hall, whether they were in agreement with Yan Yuan or not, all nodded their heads in agreement.

Yan Shuo thought about it and agreed, but didn't say anything more.

Suddenly, he thought of Bull Guard who still lived in King Jing Palace. His eyes emitted a faint light, "Royal Uncle, how is Bull Guard's body recovering?"

Yan Xiao and Yan Jue both knew who the real Bull Guard was, so when Yan Shuo asked this question, they looked at Yan Yuan worriedly. As expected, they saw Yan Yuan's eyebrows knitted together with an undetectable hint of displeasure.

At this time, the Kaiser asked about the Bull Guard. Those who knew about him knew clearly that he was the nemesis of those monsters.

The officials did not know that Yan Jue and the others knew. Originally, because of Liu Ruo Qing, the relationship between Yan Yuan and Kaiser was extremely tense, although on the surface he still maintained his calm on the surface, but in the bottom of his heart, he still hated the Kaiser.

Yan Xiao and Yan Jue quietly looked at each other, as they were thinking about how to change the topic, they heard Yan Yuan say: "His illness is getting worse again, and he has been recuperating in the residence recently. He can't do anything else."

Even those who were unclear of what kind of person Yan Yuan was, could tell that there was something wrong with his tone.

But seeing Yan Yuan's unhappy expression, no one dared to ask more. Even Yan Shuo had consciously chosen not to ask too much when he saw Yan Yuan's slightly sunken tone.

However, if only the Bull Guard had a way to deal with those monsters, he would have to find an opportunity to have a talk with him.

"Let's discuss this first. Withdraw."

"Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor!"

All the officials left the Starlight Hall one by one, Yan Jue and Yan Jue walked to Yan Yuan's side and asked softly: "There are still a few more days until the wedding ceremony between you and Peach Blossom Princess, do you really plan to marry her?"

Yan Yuan understood the meaning behind Yan Jue's words. Qing Er was right by his side, but seeing him marry someone else, she probably felt uncomfortable in her heart.

After a moment of silence, he said, "Xia Tao Hua can save her."

As long as Qing Er could live on, what could be more important than this?

At the moment, Yan Jue already knew about it a few days ago, so when he heard it, he was not surprised, it was just that, since they met with the Huiyang City, the marriage would be delayed.

"Since Ruo Qing has a way to deal with those monsters, are you really not letting her go to the Huiyang City to try?"

Yan Xiao asked somewhat directly. At a time like this, beating around the bush was useless.

Yan Yuan's face sank, and he did not say anything for a while.

Yan Jue tugged on Yan Xiao's sleeves, signalling him not to speak. This matter, Ol 'Nine should have a rough idea in his heart, just that it would be difficult for him to make such a decision right now.

However, since the news had spread across the entire Jindu, it was naturally impossible to hide it there either. Liu Ruo Qing had long since heard of the news about the Huiyang City and stood at the entrance of the Duke Palace, waiting for Yan Yuan.

When she heard that the Kaiser had sent people to summon Yan Yuan into the palace last night, she could guess that something big had happened, and just as she had expected, the news of the incident in the Huiyang City had spread throughout the entire capital.

She did not wait long at the door of the Duke Palace before Yan Yuan returned.

Seeing Liu Ruo Qing standing at the door, Yan Yuan frowned, and immediately guessed the reason why she was waiting at the door.

He walked forward, and before Yan Yuan could speak, Liu Ruo Qing had already impatiently said, "Your Highness, you must know about the Huiyang City, right?"

Hearing the impatience in her words, Yan Yuan's frown deepened.

"This matter, This King will settle it himself. You should recuperate in the Residence."

Hearing Yan Yuan's words, Liu Ruo Qing became anxious. No one was clearer than her about her current situation. The reason she was still staying in the King Jing Palace was because she wanted to help him while he was still alive.

If she stayed here and couldn't help him, then even if she stayed here, she would only be a burden to him.

At that moment, she anxiously said, "My prince, the Huiyang City is already a river of blood. Those monsters have Gu worms in their bodies, and if the people of Huiyang City were to be infected by those Gu worms, they would probably become like them. When that happens, the entire Huiyang City will be a purgatory on earth."

Although the zombie films she saw in the movies were just fictional stories, they weren't completely baseless.

If the Gu worms didn't transfer to other people, Ye Man wouldn't need to put a few boxes of insects in the Grand Preceptor's estate. His aim was to create more monsters in the Jindu when the time was ripe.

Presumably, he had thought through this principle.

Hearing her words, Yan Yuan's footsteps suddenly stopped. As he imagined what could possibly happen, his heart tightened.

He did not say that he was selfless for the sake of the people of this world, but he was a descendant of the Yan family after all.
