Also, many thanks to everyone who bought me coffee (*???*)

Gu Jiao's mood almost instinctively turned violent.

The goggles turned into a bloody red, as if the entire world had turned crimson.

The warmth of fresh blood seeped through her face mask onto her cheeks, and the violent factors within her began to surge endlessly.

Everyone was stunned.

Landlord Zhao was a plague victim, his blood... was infected. Physician Gu, she...

Outside the tent, one of the dark guards heard the commotion inside. He lifted the curtain and saw Gu Jiao's face covered in blood. His expression changed, and he started to walk toward Gu Jiao.

"Don't move!" Gu Jiao raised her hand to stop him.

The dark guard froze in his tracks, "Physician Gu, are you okay? What's happening?"

"I'm fine." Gu Jiao slowly lowered her hand. She appeared calm on the surface, but nobody knew the immense self-control she exercised.

She said calmly, "None of you are allowed inside. Shen Xuan, step back."

She always referred to him as Little Shitou; this was the first time she used his name.

Shen Xuan instinctively sensed something was wrong with her demeanor.

"Physician Gu..." He moved aside, looking bewildered.

Gu Jiao crouched before Landlord Zhao again.

Landlord Zhao was intimidated by Gu Jiao's silent and chilling composure. He dared not move or utter a sound.

When he pulled out the needle earlier, he had applied too much force, tearing the blood vessels.

Gu Jiao skillfully and calmly tended to his injuries, reinserted the needle, and calmly remarked, "Medicine is expensive, don't make me waste it."

She didn't waste medicine unless the person died.

Landlord Zhao looked at Gu Jiao, who hadn't shown a hint of anger throughout, and inexplicably shuddered!

After exiting the tent, Gu Jiao found a secluded spot and sat down against a bamboo tree.

She removed the contaminated goggles, face mask, and her pair of gloves.

She didn't know if she would get infected herself.

From her little medicine chest, she took two chloramphenicol tablets and swallowed them with a handful of icy snow.

The Gu Family Army went to attack Lingguan City, leaving only a hundred people in the camp to care for the sick.

The forest was eerily quiet, yet in Gu Jiao's ears, she could almost hear the sounds of war drums, trumpets, the crashing of battering rams against the city gates, and the Gu Family Army climbing siege ladders...

Leaning against the bamboo, she gazed up at the dark and boundless sky, a hint of bewilderment crossing her face.

For a moment.

Her mind was blank.

"Physician Gu!"

A dark guard approached and reported, "Someone is coming!"

Gu Jiao snapped into combat mode instantly. She swiftly stood up, picked up her back basket, and calmly asked, "How many?"

The dark guard replied, "Twenty people, some of them are death warriors!"

It seemed that the remnants of the previous dynasty had discovered the disappearance of the plague victims and specially sent people to capture them back.

Gu Jiao had made several preparations. If no one came after them, they would wait here for Gu Changqing and the Gu Family Army to return in triumph. If someone did come after them, they would relocate.

She had at least three backup locations in mind.

Addressing the dark guard, Gu Jiao said, "Take the patients and go to the dilapidated temple on the way here."

"Yes!"

The dark guard obeyed without questioning, knowing not to doubt Gu Jiao's decisions.

The dark guards and the hundred Gu Family soldiers relocated the patients.

This time, Landlord Zhao remained cooperative. He sat in the carriage, and Shen Xuan hung his IV bag onto the carriage.

"Do you remember how to remove the needle?" Gu Jiao asked Shen Xuan.

The first time she went to the village, she had administered injections to Shen Xuan. Shen Xuan nodded, "I remember."

"Good." Gu Jiao didn't elaborate further. She took her red-tasseled spear, shouldered her back basket, and headed toward the direction where the group of experts was approaching.

"Physician Gu!"

Shen Xuan called out to her.

"What is it?" Gu Jiao turned back.

Seated in the carriage, Shen Xuan leaned his head out of the window, speaking through his face mask, "You... you'll be okay, right?"

Gu Jiao glanced at him but didn't respond directly. Instead, she said, "If I don't catch up in an hour, head to Yuegu City first. Find a physician with the surname Song. He'll know what to do."

She had left Physician Song with plenty of medicine, including chloramphenicol and antiviral drugs.

Shen Xuan hesitated but didn't say more.

Turning away, Gu Jiao vanished into the vast night.

Shen Xuan watched Gu Jiao's small figure disappear into the woods. As the carriage slowly moved, his gaze lingered for a long time.

The group of experts moved swiftly. Riding their horses, they arrived at the heart of the forest in just a moment.

They hastened their pace, but suddenly, amidst the bamboo grove and snow, they caught sight of a distant unfamiliar figure.

It appeared to be a young person wearing dark armor, holding a helmet in one hand and a red-tasseled spear in the other. The youth hadn't reached adulthood yet, with jet-black hair not entirely tied up but partly secured with a light blue headband.

Half of the hair cascaded over the youth’s shoulders, fluttering in the chilly wind.

Despite the considerable distance and the youth's stillness, everyone sensed an overwhelming aura of dominance emanating from the youth’s figure!

Almost at the same time, the twenty individuals tightened their grip on their reins.

The leading death warrior was the first to react, furrowing his brow and commanding coldly, "It’s a State of Zhao soldier! Kill him!"

The Gu Family Army wore silver armor. Tang Yueshan had crafted Gu Jiao's armor based on the Tang Family archers' style but with distinct modifications. Her weapon was a spear, and this armor was tailored specifically for her and her red-tasseled spear.

It was a unique battle armor of the State of Zhao.

The twenty men accelerated, drawing their longswords.

A cold glint flashed in Gu Jiao's eyes. She calmly donned her helmet and pulled down the mask, revealing only a pair of eyes as murderous as that of a God of Slaughter.

In that instant, the twenty experts collectively felt a thump in their hearts!

A chill inexplicably ran up their spines.

But there was no room for retreat, nor could they retreat. If word got out that a group of twenty experts couldn't match a mere youngster, it would be a laughingstock!

"Kill him——"

The leading death warrior commanded.
