"Yes, sir."
"You may leave."
"This subordinate will take his leave."
Huiyang City, County Magistrate.
"Your Highness, with the current situation, I'm afraid the citizens won't be able to hold on for long. Look …"
The Huiyang City's County Magistrate, Wu Prime Minister, stood in front of Yan Yuan. She looked haggard, but it was hard to hide her anxiousness, her face was sallow, it was obvious that she had not eaten anything in a while.
Yan Yuan and the others had only been in the magistrate court for two days, and had personally experienced it.
Even the head of a county had become like this, let alone the commoners in the city.
The Huiyang City was not a wealthy county city to begin with. The commoners had plenty of food left over to hide in their homes for a long time.
Yan Yuan looked at County Governor Wu who was anxiously pacing back and forth without etiquette, and did not bother with him. He pointed to the chair in front of him, and indicated for him to sit.
There was no way that County Governor Wu would be in the mood to sit. If this continued, Huiyang City would probably not be able to hold on and he would be able to return to his hometown early. He would be able to live his life in fear and trepidation, not knowing when those monsters would come again.
But he didn't dare disobey Yan Yuan's words. As long as he sat down, he looked at Yan Yuan with hope in his eyes, hoping that he could give him a way to make him feel at ease.
In this situation, it was difficult to hope for people from the imperial government to come. And they were even a grand prince of the imperial court. This could be considered as one of the hopes of the Huiyang City.
After a moment, he heard Yan Yuan say: "Send some people to inform the citizens of the city that the imperial government has thought of a way to deal with those monsters, to let them only feel at ease to go out and work, the monsters will not dare to come again."
He suddenly raised his head to look at Yan Yuan, and his eyes could not hide the joy in his eyes. He even forgot that the person in front of him was the current powerful prince, and asked casually: "Is that true?"
But soon after, he realized that he had lost his composure and hurriedly opened his mouth to ask for forgiveness, "This official was rude, Your Highness, please forgive me."
"It's fine."
Yan Yuan said lightly. Seeing that County Governor Wu was looking at him with a look of hesitation, he opened his mouth and said: "Speak."
"Yes."
He stood up and stood beside Yan Yuan with his hands cupped together. After hesitating for half a second, he opened his mouth and said, "Your Highness, what you said … But really? "Those monsters …"
Although he did not ask all the questions, he saw that after Yan Yuan nodded towards him in affirmation, he did not continue asking, and the light in his eyes could not be concealed.
If it was as the Prince had said, the imperial government already had a way to deal with those monsters, then the citizens of the Huiyang City would be saved.
He did not dare delay any further and immediately sent out all the yamen runners from the yamen to spread the news that Yan Yuan wanted them to pass on from house to house.
In the afternoon of that day, the city gate which had been tightly shut for a long time finally opened. The commoners who had been hiding in their houses for nearly a month, finally saw the light of day once more, and all jumped in joy, as if they had reincarnated.
When Liu Ruo Qing heard of this matter, it was not long after the news had spread out.
That day, after the people of the night gate had fled with An Yu, they had directly gone to the county magistrate. Upon seeing County Commander Wu, they had gotten a better understanding of the current situation of the Huiyang City from County Commander Wu and had also conveniently settled down there.
Just a few days after Yan Yuan had Wu County's order to release the news, a troop of five thousand men was sent to Huiyang City.
An army of five thousand people, not too many, not too few, but for a small city like Huiyang City, this was more than enough to pacify the people.
With these five thousand people stationed in Huiyang City, the people's hearts were at ease and at ease.
"How do you know that Ye Man won't send those monsters out to kill again? Let this news out, if those monsters come out again, and there are more casualties in Huiyang City, if this news spreads to the ears of the common people, I'm afraid they will scold you to death. "
Although it had been five or six days since the news was released and Ye Man did not make any movements, it was hard to ensure that Ye Man would not send those monsters to cause trouble again.
It was enough for them to eat one pot at a time.
Yan Yuan frowned as he patted the back of her hand: "Ye Man's goal is not to kill the citizens of Huiyang City, but to attract our attention so that we can test how many methods we have to deal with him. The reason why this news was spread, is partly to pacify the citizens of Huiyang City, and partly to confuse Ye Man, so that even if he wanted to come to the Huiyang City to kill people, he would have to consider whether or not we really have a way to deal with those monsters."
"But what if he does try again?"
"He doesn't dare to have you here. He won't easily waste those things before he finds out what you're up to."
Liu Ruo Qing now understood the meaning of Yan Yuan's words.
Previously, they had analyzed that Ye Man did not have many monsters on him, so he would not waste them easily.
Now that he has succeeded in drawing our attention, his purpose has been achieved.
Thinking like this, Liu Ruo Qing nodded, and said: "Then, when are we going back to the capital?"
Since Ye Man would not come back, there was no need for them to stay in the Huiyang City.
"Let's wait for another two days and see if there's any news from sixth brother."
"Alright."
Liu Ruo Qing nodded her head, she looked at the medicine that was still hot, frowned and said: "Do you have to drink this medicine every day?"
Ever since they left the capital in a hurry, and simply didn't bring any medicine out, she had stopped for nearly half a month in succession. She didn't expect that on the second day after the Huiyang City was opened, Yan Yuan would order people to grab several dozens of sets of medicine.
"How long has it been since you last drank it? Do you still need me to remind you?"
Yan Yuan said with a dark face, pretending to be displeased.
Liu Ruo Qing wanted to say that she did not want to drink anymore, it was impossible to cure her, but these kinds of words, she did not dare speak of it in front of Yan Yuan, she could only bite the bullet and drink the medicine.
"Let Xia Tao Hua show you later."
Yan Yuan had never told Liu Ruo Qing that these pills were prescribed by Xia Tao Hua. After all, from start to finish, he had not completely believed that such a young girl like Xia Tao Hua could cure such an incurable illness that not even Lu Yuan He himself was able to cure.
Sometimes, he even thought that Xia Tao Hua was dragging this out simply because he wanted to have more time to help her brother ascend to the throne of the Long Island.
However, even if he did not completely trust Xia Tao Hua, he still held a glimmer of hope in his heart. However, he did not tell Qing Er that if he did not enjoy this kind of hope in the end, it would be enough for him to bear it on his own.
That day, when Yan Yuan was injured and Xia Tao Hua asked to see his injury, he knew that she knew medical skills.
