The window was quickly closed, and Yun Que's eyes were filled with surprise.
"What's going on outside?" Mu Qingyao asked in a low voice.
"The innkeeper was eaten," Yun Que said.
"Are there monsters in the city?" Mu Qingyao asked in surprise.
Yun Que shook his head and said only one word.
"people."
Mu Qingyao's pupils suddenly shrank.
People eat people!
Princess Lingyun has never seen such a strange situation, let alone imagined it.
Yun Que was also surprised.
There were several people outside who knocked down the innkeeper and gnawed at him.
It would be reasonable to say that one person goes crazy and bites others, but it is definitely not normal for several people to go crazy at the same time.
When something goes wrong, there must be a monster.
Even if there is no demon, there must be a demon behind it.
The first thing Yun Que thought of was the Red Lotus Sect. After all, that kind of cult can do anything.
But the person who eats it has nothing to do with the princess.
If the Red Lotus Sect knew that Mu Qingyao was at this inn, they should break in. Why should they eat the innkeeper first?
While thinking, Yun Que listened intently, his eyebrows gradually frowning.
"Something's not right on the street."
Yun Que whispered.
A warrior's hearing is very sensitive, and as his level improves, his hearing far exceeds that of ordinary people.
Yun Que could hear the faint wailing sounds on the street.
This situation indicates that many people have had accidents, and this inn is by no means the only one.
Mu Qingyao sat next to him and waited quietly.
As long as Yun Que is around, Mu Qingyao won't be afraid and feels like she is wrapped in safety.
Soon the sounds in the yard disappeared.
The noise in the street grew louder, and fires broke out.
Suddenly there was a knock on the door.
when! Dang Dang!
It was said to be knocking, but it was actually smashed, and the sound was very loud.
Yun Que stood in front of the door, his nose twitching.
There is no evil spirit.
It means that the person who broke the door outside is a human being.
When the banging on the door sounded again, Yun Que suddenly opened the door and a figure stumbled in.
Because the door was smashed with too much force, the man fell down.
Under the moonlight, one could see that this man's eyes were blood red, his body was covered in blood, and his facial features were as ferocious as that of an evil ghost. He got up and rushed towards Yun Que.
Both Mu Qingyao and Yun Que recognized this person.
It's the innkeeper!
Yun Que knocked him down with a kick.
The innkeeper hunched over, unable to get up, and growled like a beast from his throat.
After closing the door, Yun Que checked.
Except for a few pieces of flesh missing from his shoulders and arms, the innkeeper was still alive, looking like he was going crazy for some reason, and his face was covered with blood vessels like earthworms.
"He was poisoned."
Mu Qingyao concluded.
"What kind of poison is so evil?" Yun Que asked strangely.
"I can't tell. I have never seen such a rare poison. It may have been contracted after being bitten. His blood seems to be boiling. The poison must be related to the blood." Mu Qingyao said.
"You will be infected with the poison after a few bites. If this continues, there will probably be few good people in the entire Baiyu City." Yun Que said.
"Someone deliberately poisoned Baiyu City to disrupt Baiyu City." Mu Qingyao said.
"It's easy to fish in troubled waters, and the Red Lotus Sect is very ruthless." Yun Que said.
"Go to the City Guards Mansion." Mu Qingyao suggested.
In this situation, the only way to quell the chaos in the city is to dispatch the garrison.
The two left the inn.
As soon as they arrived at the inn's courtyard, two guys with red eyes rushed in from outside the door, and were knocked down by Yun Que's two slaps.
These two people were dressed strangely, wearing prison uniforms.
Yun Que glanced at the side of the inn.
Not far from here is the dungeon where prisoners are held in Baiyu City.
Since all the prisoners have escaped, it means that the dungeon has become a place of chaos.
There is a figure running quickly in the distance, coming this way.
Yun Que's reaction was extremely quick.
He pulled Mu Qingyao back to the inn and hid behind the courtyard wall.
Mu Qingyao thought that crazy people were rushing over, but she heard Yun Que whisper strangely.
"What is he doing here?"
"who?"
"Metropolis."
Yun Que leaned his head against the wall and looked outside.
Mei Qian's figure disappeared into a forest not far away. Looking at the direction the other party was traveling, it was the dungeon.
Ignoring the sneaky Mei Qian, Yun Que took Mu Qingyao and rushed to the city guard's mansion.
On the road, Yun Que was there, so Mu Qingyao was naturally safe and sound.
But as the little princess walked along, her expression became more solemn.
She saw too many people who died tragically, lying on the roadside, including many children.
Mu Qingyao felt guilty.
The target of the Red Lotus Sect is her, Princess Lingyun.
The Red Lotus Sect wants to use the lives of the people in this city to bury Mu Qingyao!
When they arrived near the city guard's mansion, the two hid beside a private house.
Outside the house, there was a middle-aged man wearing an official robe knocking on the door. He looked like he was a civil servant from Baiyu City.
After smashing for a long time, a soldier finally came out.
The civil servant asked hurriedly: "Lord, are you here? The city is in chaos. Go and report it quickly!"
The soldier complained: "It turns out to be Master He. Our general is not at home and is hunting bandits in the city."
"What! Bandits have sneaked into the city?" Lord He said in surprise.
"Yes, they are all ruthless characters on the wanted list. The general has ordered Baiyu City to be closed for three days. The city will not be opened until the bandits are caught." Jun Bing said.
"Okay, okay! I understand."
Master He hurriedly ordered his servants to go back home. It seemed that he did not dare to go out again.
The gate of the city guard's mansion was closed, and there was no sound.
"The door was closed, and they hid." Yun Que said coldly.
"Being behind closed doors, the city guard general must have known the news in advance. I am afraid that the three-day closure of the city was not to catch the bandits, but to keep me in the city." Mu Qingyao said in a low voice.
The clever Princess Lingyun has roughly guessed the reason.
"When you see your father, remember to ask him to kill the city guard of Baiyu City." Yun Que suggested.
Mu Qingyao could only smile bitterly.
Guesses are just guesses. Without any evidence, even King Funan could not kill the generals of Jin at will.
However, Mu Qingyao was determined to find out the collusion between the Baiyu City City Guards and the Red Lotus Sect in the future and give an explanation to the people who died tonight.
The road to the City Shoufu was unavailable, so Yun Que took Mu Qingyao back.
Mu Qingyao thought she was going back to the inn, but the route was wrong.
"Where are we going now?" Mu Qingyao asked.
"Go to a safe place first, and then find a chance to leave the city. That guy Mei Qian is not at the city gate, and we will definitely not be able to get out," Yun Que said.
If Mei Qian guards the city gate, Yun Que is sure to escape from Baiyu City with Mu Qingyao.
Now Mei Qian has gone to the dungeon for no apparent purpose.
Mu Qingyao was not surprised that Yun Que put his hope of leaving the city on Mei Qian. She was only surprised by the safe place Yun Que said.
Soon after, the two came to a medical center.
It was Mu Qingyao's quack doctor's hospital for detoxification.
"Hiding in the hospital?" Mu Qingyao asked.
"Yes, this is the safest place in the city." Yun Que said with a smile: "How much does he charge you after you see the doctor?"
"Two taels of silver..."
After saying that, Mu Qingyao suddenly remembered something and said in surprise: "The price is wrong! In addition to the spotted grass, the antidote I took also contained several precious medicinal materials. The cost of the antidote was two taels of silver. That person The old gentleman confiscated my medical expenses."
"That's right. The patients I bring will definitely get discounts." Yun Que said.
"Why?" Mu Qingyao asked.
"Because I am a big customer here." After Yun Que said this, he strode into the Quack Doctor's Hall.
Mu Qingyao returned to the hospital with confusion.
The hall of the hospital was brightly lit.
An old doctor with a beard as white as snow is treating a patient.
The patient is very special. She is a six or seven-year-old girl. She is lying on the hospital bed, her hands and feet are tied with hemp rope. She has a ferocious little face, covered with raised blood vessels, and her eyes are as red as demons. Even though she is tied, she is still there. He struggled desperately and made an inhuman roar.
The girl's parents stood by and begged.
"Sir, you must save my daughter! We only have one child. If she has any shortcomings, I, a mother, will not be able to survive." The woman's eyes were red and swollen from crying.
"The baby was bitten by the family dog, and she soon became like this. Even we wanted to bite her, so we had to tie her up. Sir, you are very skilled in medicine. Please help me." The man held back tears.
The old doctor kept checking his pulse and said nothing, but his brows were furrowed deeply.
Yun Que and Mu Qingyao did not disturb him, but stood aside and watched.
At this time, the girl's whole body suddenly twitched, and her entire face turned almost blood red. One of the blood vessels on her face burst open, and blood flowed horizontally, looking like an evil ghost.
As the blood appeared, the girl opened her mouth like a madman, biting and struggling wildly, leaving bloody marks where her hands and feet were bound.
The more she struggled, the more blood vessels on her face burst, and soon her face was covered in blood!
The girl's parents were shocked and at a loss. They wanted to go over to comfort her, but were stopped by the old doctor.
"The flesh is connected to the blood, and the blood is connected to the soul. If the soul is confused, the blood will boil, and if the blood boils, the life will be lost."
The old doctor said a desolate word, which made the young couple's faces full of despair.
Mu Qingyao heard this and confirmed his judgment.
This terrible poison can indeed cause the blood to boil and cause the living person to go crazy.
Mu Qingyao's medical attainments are not low. She can see the symptoms, but she has no solution.
When the young couple felt that their child was hopeless, the old doctor stood up and took out three silver needles.
Using it casually, three silver needles were inserted into three acupuncture points on the girl's face.
The frantic girl calmed down instantly.
The blood stopped flowing from his face, the bulging blood vessels gradually calmed down, his eyelids closed and he fell into a deep sleep.
The young couple were overjoyed and kowtowed to the old doctor.
Such a miraculous scene made those who saw it feel like the old doctor had rejuvenated himself. However, Mu Qingyao whispered:
"Three Soul-Calming Needles!"
When the old doctor heard the voice, he glanced this way, nodded slowly, and said:
"The little girl has good eyesight. The three soul-soothing injections can only calm the soul, but cannot detoxify it. It treats the symptoms but not the root cause. It's just a helpless move."
The old doctor asked the young couple and their daughter to stay in the hospital temporarily, waiting for follow-up treatment.
"Why are you back again?" The old doctor looked at Yun Que.
"Uncle Qi, your medical skills are not very good. No wonder the sign is called Quack Doctor's Clinic." Yun Que pointed at the little princess next to him and said: "Her poison has not been completely detoxified, and she feels dizzy and dizzy from time to time. She still has to wait for you." You can only stay here for two days. When the poison is completely detoxified, you can leave."
Mu Qingyao felt embarrassed when she heard this.
She didn't expect that Yun Que would openly tell lies. With the old doctor's medical skills, he could expose them with just a pulse.
