She looked at the girl who was so agitated that she was on the verge of losing control. She didn't dare to think whether this outcome was caused by her changing the story line.
If it was really as she thought, wouldn't she become a sinner of Fengdu City and even the entire Ming Dynasty?
Tang Youyou tried her best to suppress such thoughts. Her initial goal was just to go back and get out of this damned situation in the book. She never thought that she would implicate so many people.
Rong Xun noticed that her face looked a bit strange. He thought she was sad because she saw these victims suffering from the war.
"I'll handle the follow - up. Don't worry."
Hearing his voice, Tang Youyou suddenly looked up. Looking at the man in front of her, her eyes were full of thoughts and she couldn't control herself for a moment.
Only then did Rong Xun notice her abnormality.
"What's wrong?"
How could Tang Youyou have the courage to say that what they had suffered was probably caused by her changing the plot?
Could she say that everything that happened here was from a book? That they were just virtual characters created by an unknown author and didn't really exist?
What would Rong Xun's reaction be? She had no way to guess.
According to his style, the land of the Divine Continent under their feet might be destroyed because of this.
"Rong Xun, is all this that's happening real?"
"Hmm? Why would you ask such a question?"
Tang Youyou shook her head and didn't intend to continue.
The little daughter of the city lord had been temporarily appeased, but this hatred would keep growing in her heart. Tang Youyou understood this feeling.
"Master, Rong Jiangyu's army has reached Yanshi, the capital of the Ming Dynasty."
Tieshou received a dispatch from the front line. Their spy embedded in Rong Jiangyu's army was almost at the capital of Yanshi and was about to break through the city gate.
Hearing the news, Tang Youyou was stunned.
It was so fast. Calculating, Rong Jiangyu could capture a city in less than five days.
If the capital was captured today, the Ming Dynasty might change its dynasty tomorrow.
Tang Youyou was extremely worried. She thought she wasn't a meddlesome person, but in this situation, she couldn't just stand by.
But how could she stop it? Her personal strength was so weak. What could she do alone?
Use poison?
Tang Youyou wasn't good at martial arts, but when it came to using poison, she considered herself invincible in the world.
Could it work?
She raised her hand and bit her finger, thinking about what kind of poison to use and how to put the poison into the enemy's camp.
At the same time, she couldn't let people notice that it was a deliberate poisoning. Otherwise, who knew what that old guy Rong Jiangyu would do.
If she was going to poison, she had to do it silently. It would be best to make people think it was a sudden plague, just like what happened in Dashuiwan back then.
Just as the saying goes, use the enemy's strengths against them. Pay them back in their own coin.
Without hesitation, Tang Youyou already had a preliminary plan in mind.
Rong Xun saw her expression changing again and again. He didn't know what she was thinking. Seeing her concentrating, he waved his hand in front of her eyes.
"What are you thinking about?"
Tang Youyou looked at him. She originally wanted to tell him the plan, but then she thought it better not to.
If she told him, this guy might stop her action.
According to his character, he would surely do so.
Tang Youyou gave a gentle smile. "It's nothing. Let's find a place to stay first."
Song Xumo led them to a remote inn. Because of its unremarkable location, it hadn't been damaged.
The innkeeper originally planned to close the shop and go back to his hometown, but when he heard that some kind - hearted people were coming, he postponed his plan.
Seeing the people coming, the innkeeper greeted them hurriedly.
"Welcome! Come in quickly. The food is already prepared."
Tang Youyou and her group walked into the inn. They saw that the inn was full of local customs and had a strong Fengdu characteristic.
The name of Fengdu City came from the underworld of Fengdu. It was a ghost city. More than a hundred years ago, it was desolate, a place where even birds didn't come.
Later, due to frequent wars, a large number of corpses were piled up here, gradually turning it into a mass grave.
It was rumored that someone once saw ghosts here. So the news spread from mouth to mouth, and the name of the underworld was given.
But later, through the efforts of successive monarchs and the migration of a large number of war refugees, Fengdu gradually became more populated. Finally, during Rong Xun's reign, it became the prosperous place it was.
No, it should be said that it was prosperous not long ago.
"The food is ready. Please sit down first. It will be served right away."
When Tang Youyou entered the door, she didn't notice the threshold and accidentally leaned forward.
Seeing this, Rong Xun immediately blocked in front of her with his whole body, letting her lean on him.
Tieshou, Yueyue and others beside them saw this and immediately stepped forward to help, but they couldn't catch up with Rong Xun's speed.
"Are you okay?"
"I'm okay." Tang Youyou took a breath and waved her hand.
To be honest, Tang Youyou's heart skipped a beat just now. Her heart felt empty.
If she had fallen, with her stomach hitting the ground, she didn't even dare to think about the consequences.
Taking a deep breath, Tang Youyou felt cold sweat on her back.
Rong Xun saw the sweat on her forehead. He reached out to wipe it off, then held her face and carefully observed her condition.
"Are you really okay? Yueyue, call the doctor over."
Hearing this, Tang Youyou waved her hand quickly. "No, no. I'm really okay. Don't trouble these people anymore. We're here to help, not to cause trouble."
Rong Xun smiled. "I understand what you're worried about. The doctor is brought by me, not from here. You can rest assured."
Tang Youyou didn't expect that he had even brought a doctor. Seeing his worried look, she felt quite happy.
"I'm really okay. Don't trouble the doctor. I'm just a bit startled. I'll be fine after a rest."
Yueyue had already poured the tea. Since she had been with Tang Youyou for a long time, she had become more considerate than before.
Song Xumo noticed something. His eyes fell on Tang Youyou's abdomen. Just one glance was enough for him to notice.
"Let me take a look. I also know a bit of medical skills."
Rong Xun didn't really want other men to touch You'er. Just as he was about to refuse, he heard Tang Youyou's voice.
"Sure. I didn't expect that Mr. Song is not only good at both literature and martial arts but also knows medical skills. You're really amazing."
Tang Youyou consciously showed her wrist. Rong Xun saw this and looked serious, but he didn't stop her. Instead, he placed his hand on her fair and slender wrist.
Seeing this, Tang Youyou shook her head helplessly with a smile.
"Mr. Song, please take your diagnosis." She said, then glanced at Rong Xun standing beside her. "You can sit down too. Standing there makes you look like a bodyguard."
Although he didn't know what a bodyguard was, Rong Xun still sat down next to her according to her words.
