"No." Tuoba Rui resolutely rejected her.
Then he picked her up and put her on his lap, wrapped his arms around her waist, and gently rubbed his chin against her shoulder.
Hua Ruge knew there was nothing he could do about it, so he could only take a step back and continue, "Hold him in your arms and don't say anything, let me think about it."
"Yes." Tuoba Rui replied as he turned his head and kissed her white neck.
He did not look like he was in love with a beauty at all.
"You pervert!" Hua Ruge turned his head and cursed.
Tuoba Rui turned her head and rebuked: "Be quiet.
Me?
Who was causing all this trouble?
In such a harsh environment, Hua Ruge thought of a way to save the situation, and at night, he finally had a clue.
Therefore, she insisted on sleeping in her room at the relay station. Tuoba Rui saw that she was running even faster than a rabbit, it was rare for him to let her go.
Hua Ruge sat cross-legged on the bed and consumed some healing pellets, her blood channels gradually recovering. Right now she could already use the Rank 5 soul technique, I believe she would recover soon.
At that time, the magic tools she had snatched from the City Lord's Mansion would be of use.
She pursed her lips and turned off the light.
In the middle of the night, she blurrily went out of the latrine. Right now, the inn was completely dark, causing the only light in the darkness to be extremely eye-catching. Hua Ruge came out to rub his eyes and muttered: "Who's still not asleep by midnight?"
She started back, but stopped abruptly and turned to look at the candlelight room again.
It was the main building, and it was the largest in area. It was built in such a way that it should be used by the most respected people in the industry.
She was much more clear-headed now. Her eyes slowly rolled around before she muttered, "Has he gotten sick?"
When she thought of this, she began to walk towards that direction. As she walked, she shook her head and said, "Why do I love to worry so much?"
When she got closer, she knocked on the door and asked, "Why are you still up so late?"
The room went silent for a moment before randomly saying: "I have something to take care of. You should go to sleep first."
"Every time I get sick, I say it's okay." Hua Ruge bragged that he was not a righteous man, and walked in.
In the room, Tuoba Rui was sitting in front of a table with a pen.
When he saw her enter, his brows relaxed a little, but his tone carried a hint of reproach. "Why aren't you sleeping well?"
Seeing that his expression and spirit were still alright, Hua Ruge then relaxed and curiously walked forward: "What are you drawing in the middle of the night?"
The paper was in a mess, but Hua Ruge understood what was going on the moment he stepped forward.
This should be the terrain of the cities, and the densely packed dots on the map should be people infected with the plague.
Some of these dots were densely packed, while others were being evacuated. It seemed like he was calculating the source of the disease.
After all, the first serious areas of infection and infection must be near the source.
This way, it would be very easy to find the source of the disease. As long as he could cure it and clean out the poison, the plague would be very easy to treat.
"You think what I said makes sense? Why don't you discuss it with me during the day?" Hua Ruge asked curiously.
Tuoba Rui looked up at her with a meaningful gaze. "When I saw you, I didn't think about all these."
It wasn't that he didn't care about the disease at the border, he just valued the time he spent with her more.
Hua Ruge glared at him, lowering her head to look at the drawing, not looking straight into his blazing gaze.
However, looking at her caused her to frown. According to her, those close to the source of the disease must have gotten even more infected. The more they spread, the lighter it became. However, that was not the case above.
It's that all the regions are well-proportioned, and it's more as if the bacterium is from the sky.
Even as the rain.
No wonder Tuoba Rui couldn't get a clue even after drawing in the middle of the night.
"Are you sure that the plague is caused by the source of the disease?" Tuoba Rui asked.
Under the light, his handsome face became even more beautiful, and he became even more serious.
Hua Ruge's gaze swept across his face, tilted to the side, then remained calm and said: "Previously, I have seen in the medical books that there would be rivers of sewage and mountains of trash forming conditions in the vicinity or not far away from the pestilence zone. That's where the germs originated, but the situation here is very strange."
"The doctors who came along also said that it was weird. It seems that there really is something wrong with this place." Tuoba Rui's expression became serious.
All the soldiers were in the three cities. If the plague was not cured, there would be a large number of casualties in the northern border.
The Upper Nether Realm of the Northern Kingdom was powerful, and they were like tigers eyeing their prey. When the time came for a huge attack, the northern border would definitely be destroyed. That would be a national disaster.
Hua Ruge heavily patted his shoulder, and said with full confidence: "With this young master protecting you, nothing will happen."
Tuoba Rui looked at her, a cold light shining in his eyes.
Hua Ruge realized that he had misspoken and awkwardly retracted his hand. However, Tuoba Rui grabbed her and pulled her into his embrace.
"You are the first one who dared to call me grandpa." Tuoba Rui said as he stared at her hands.
"That, I'm used to it. I'll be more careful next time." Hua Ruge smiled apologetically.
"He wants to be punished." As Tuoba Rui said this, he pulled her down onto the bed and tucked her in, "I want you to sleep with me."
In the span of a breath, Hua Ruge landed into a warm embrace. Looking at the pitch black room, he wanted to cry, but no tears came out.
This wasn't a punishment, this was the blatant act of a hoodlum.
"Hey, are you not going to study the disaster anymore?" Hua Ruge poked his chest and asked weakly.
Tuoba Rui rubbed her head and said helplessly: "Seeing you, my mind is filled with you, how can I still think about anything?"
"How about I go back to my room to sleep?" Hua Ruge discussed.
"Mine is yours, sleeping here is the same."
"It's obviously different." Hua Ruge felt that he had met the biggest hooligan in the world.
"Go to sleep." Tuoba Rui pressed down on her head as if he was coaxing a kitten.
Hua Ruge moaned twice and fell asleep on his arms.
The northernmost city of the Great Zheng was called Qing Zhou City. It was the strongest wall in the north and also the most affected area.
The city was desolate. From the streets, one could see that the place was bustling with activity in the past, but now, no one had left the house. On the side of the road, there were only corpses covered with white cloth.
When the soldiers found the bodies, they would immediately carry them away and bury them, as they were the easiest bodies to infect.
All of the doors and windows on the streets were open for breathing. When Hua Ruge opened the curtain of the carriage, he could see a pair of pitch black eyes, which looked over from the inside in either despair or confusion.
The pestilence had taken the life out of the city.
Tuoba Rui's expression had darkened ever since he entered the city, and he didn't say another word.
The two of them arrived at the military camp stationed outside the city. Most of the soldiers in the camp were infected by the plague and sat outside the camp with pale faces. They were coughing ? they did not look like elite soldiers at all.
Tuoba Rui and Hua Ruge got off the carriage, exempting the soldiers from kneeling down to welcome them, they directly went to the camp and ordered the imperial doctors to come.
In the big tent, Tuoba Rui stood there and frowned.
Hua Ruge was also thinking of a way, this matter had to be resolved this morning, if he was too late, his strength would be greatly reduced even if he managed to rescue all these soldiers.
Very quickly, the imperial physicians arrived. They had brought ten from the capital, so there were only five left.
Tuoba Rui stood with his back facing them, and asked in a low voice: "Is there a solution?"
A few of them knew that the Battle King was ruthless, so they kneeled down, and one of them said, "Your highness, please forgive us, we have already concocted a medicine to cure the disease, but there are too many people who are infected, even if they are cured they will get infected, there is really nothing we can do about it."
"You didn't take any medicine and you don't repeat it again and again?" Tuoba Rui's voice was even heavier.
"Your Highness, please forgive us. Your subjects are incompetent." The imperial physician kowtowed repeatedly.
Tuoba Rui turned around and said with a sharp gaze: "It doesn't matter, dead people don't need to have too much ability."
The imperial doctors were scared out of their wits by him.
"If they can't cure it properly, then sooner or later they will die of illness here. I might as well give them a chance." After Hua Ruge heard this, he walked up to the doctors and said: "Let me see the prescription."
The imperial doctors started to feel that this person dared to go against Battle King's words and would definitely meet a bad end, but they were surprised to find that after she finished speaking, the killing intent in Battle King's eyes had decreased by quite a bit, so they didn't dare to slight him.
It just so happened that someone brought it with him and offered it up with both hands.
Hua Ruge received it and looked at it carefully.
These people were all experienced doctors, and the medicine they made was rather standard. Healing your bodies wasn't bad, but treating such a large scale plague wouldn't work.
It wasn't that these people didn't have good skills, but that they had died from learning things.
"How is it?" Tuoba Rui asked.
Hua Ruge thought for a moment, then said: "I should have a way, give me some time, I want to contact the patient."
Tuoba Rui frowned: "You can ask them about the patient's condition, it's not like you need to personally come into contact with them."
He didn't want her to be in danger.
"Don't doubt my expertise. Don't worry, I can handle it." Hua Ruge laughed confidently, and then walked out.
"Right, I'll return the medicinal formula to you." When she passed by the imperial physician, she handed the prescription back.
The imperial physician took the pill in a daze, still unable to understand how this person dared to be so rude in front of the Battle King.
The most unbelievable thing was that there were no consequences even after he had acted presumptuously.
Was this still the Battle King that killed people without blinking an eye?1
"Go down." Tuoba Rui said coldly.
As if they had been granted amnesty, they wiped their sweat and quickly left the room.
They felt that they would definitely be the first ones to survive when the Battle King had already expressed his desire to kill.
It was a miracle.
Looking up, Hua Ruge was sitting next to a group of sick soldiers.
"This child looks to be only around fifteen years old, how could he possibly know how to treat illnesses? Could he be a scammer from somewhere in the Battle King?" A royal physician asked doubtfully.
"Who knows? When I was fifteen, I was still grinding medicine for my master. I couldn't even recognize any medicine at all." Another imperial physician said.
Another one harrumphed, "I'd like to see what a wet behind the ears brat like her can do."
