Tang Yueshan was taken aback, "What? Does such a thing really exist?"
Gu Changqing said, "It was Jiaojiao who discovered the news last time she visited the Governor’s Mansion in Lingguan City."
Gu Chengfeng’s eyes widened in suspicion, "Wait, I went to the Governor’s Mansion in Lingguan City as well, how come I didn’t hear about such news?"
Gu Changqing gave him a look that said more than words could.
Your sister is simply better than you.
Gu Chengfeng: "...!!"
Could he really be outdone in such a matter!
He was with that girl all the time, yet he had never heard anything about a plague!
Gu Chengfeng turned sharply towards Gu Jiao, who was there to administer an IV, and was about to ask her when she had heard about it when he heard Gu Jiao sigh faintly, "That’s what happens when you’re not paying attention."
Gu Chengfeng: "..."
"Is the news reliable?" asked Tang Yueshan.
Gu Changqing nodded, "We’ve seen the plague victims ourselves, and also killed the guards watching over them and left them with medicine. The remnants of the former dynasty deliver food to them every day, but they don’t go inside because they fear infection. A patient called Little Shitou is pretending to be one of the guards and staying in the central room; however, it’s uncertain how long this can be kept a secret. My suggestion is that we should attack Lingguan City as soon as possible."
The consequences of a plague are no less terrible than any war.
If the remnants of the former dynasty discovered something amiss and, in their rage, released the patients or killed them, scattering their clothes and blood among the common people of the city...
Lingguan City would be in danger.
Tang Yueshan’s face grew grim.
Even though he had always known that the remnants of the former dynasty were up to no good, he hadn’t expected them to stoop to such despicable and filthy tactics.
It seemed they really needed to strike Lingguan City first.
