Master Emperor, your wife is too poisonous

Chapter 557 Will you treat captives as human beings?
Ye Lingxi didn't expect that Helian Mingye and the others would follow so quickly, but it was just in time for everyone to come, so she would not have to bother to entrust someone to deliver the message.

The people in Yunzhong City became alert when they saw Helian Mingye and his party coming.

Ye Lingxi didn't intend to introduce Helian Mingye's background to them, she just said that they are not bad people so don't worry, and then urged the people to take the old lady back as soon as possible.

The people in Yunzhong City were skeptical and did not dare to relax their guard easily. The man who had quarreled with Changsheng before stepped forward and took the initiative to discuss with Ye Lingxi.

"Doctor, you are Doctor Li's daughter. We can trust you, but we can't let so many people of unknown origin follow us back to our residence. I hope you can understand this."

The man frowned, and when he spoke, his eyes swept over the guards around him, and his eyes were obviously vigilant.

"I understand." Ye Lingxi nodded in response, and said after a moment of silence, "I understand your concerns, but then again, I just arrived in Yunzhong City. Now this person is unfamiliar with the place, let me follow alone If you go to your territory, I don't feel at ease."

"And my apprentice and son are still young and cannot do without me." Ye Lingxi said, "How about this, I won't let them all follow, and only bring a few people I trust to go with me, is that okay?"

The man hesitated for a moment, seeing that Chang Sheng was standing next to Ye Lingxi with the medical box on his back, Xiao Bao also ran over to hold Ye Lingxi's waist tightly and refused to let go, he finally let go, He nodded in response.

In addition to Xiaobao and Changsheng, Ye Lingxi brought Helian Mingye, Jia Fan and Gu Xi.

If Helian Mingye was not injured, it would be enough to bring him alone, but now that his injury has not fully recovered after all, Ye Lingxi dare not take it lightly, and bring Gu Xi and Jia Fan, two reliable guards, with him , she felt at ease.

A group of six people is not too many.

After Gu Xi and the chief guard explained, the people from Cloud City led them straight to their residence.

"When I was young, I heard my mother talk about the things in Yunzhong City. She had passed away many years ago, and she was very concerned about the situation in Yunzhong City before she died."

Everyone stopped riding horses, and walked on foot. Along the way, Ye Lingxi chatted with the people of Yunzhong City casually.

The content of the words is half-truth and half-false, mainly to dispel their wariness as soon as possible and gain their trust.

"The emperor of Tianqiong Kingdom sent people to Yunzhong City to look for the entrance of the legendary Yunzhang Kingdom's underground palace this time. I took this opportunity to come to Yunzhong City to see if I can completely detoxify you. Well, it’s just a matter of my mother’s heart.”

"Doctor Li has passed away?"

During the conversation, Ye Lingxi learned that the man who almost buried his mother just now was named Zhou Xuan, and now he has some prestige in Yunzhong City, at least the people who followed him out today are quite convinced his.

After hearing Ye Lingxi's words, Zhou Xuan sighed, and his eyes were stained with sadness, "Doctor Li is a good man, how could he be so young..."

"I was not yet ten years old when Yunzhong City was breached." Zhou Xuandao, "At that time, Yunzhong City was banned and reduced to a 'ghost city'. People outside the city regarded us as scourges and avoided them. Doctor Li also treated us as human beings, helped us raise food, treated us, and even ate and lived with us all the time."

"Back then we were all full of expectations, thinking that she would definitely cure us, but unfortunately, she couldn't really cure the poison on us until she left Yunzhong City."

"Since your surname is Ye, then I will call you Doctor Ye," Zhou Xuan said with a wry smile, "It has been so many years, and you still remember us, and you are even willing to risk yourself to come to this cloud city. I am already very grateful. But, detoxification...you just do your best."

"We have all been tortured by the poison for so many years, even if we can't get rid of the poison in the end, we are all used to it."

Although Zhou Xuan tried his best to sound brisk, he still couldn't hide the helplessness and despair in his words.

Ye Lingxi has never experienced such pain and despair, so she can't empathize with their current state of mind, but she can't help but think of the situation when Helian Mingye refused her detoxification again and again, and couldn't help turning her head to Helian Mingye glanced at him and sighed deeply.

Helian Mingye held Xiaobao's hand and walked forward intently, noticing Ye Lingxi's eyes looking towards him, he raised his eyebrows, as if he didn't understand what Ye Lingxi meant when he looked at him, with an innocent look He looked puzzled again.

Ye Lingxi didn't bother to worry about whether he really didn't understand what she meant or pretended not to understand, and didn't think about it any further, she just said to Zhou Xuan in a low voice: "I dare not boast that my medical skills must be better than my mother's." It’s good, but I’m a person with a bad temper, so I’ll definitely do what I decide to do.”

"Whether it will be possible or not, I don't dare to make a conclusion now, but if I don't try my best, I will definitely not give up."

Seeing her resolute attitude, Zhou Xuan didn't persuade her any more.

Ye Lingxi also changed the subject calmly, asking about their situation in Yunzhong City over the years.

"We got a letter just now when we arrived at the gate of the city, saying that there was a dispute in the city. I heard that human life was involved, so I didn't dare to be careless and rushed over immediately."

"However, on the way into the city, I found something wrong. There are so many houses, why didn't I see any lights on?"

"You don't know about that." Zhou Xuan hurriedly explained, "The houses you saw on the road have all been abandoned."

"There are less than a thousand people still alive in Yunzhong City. They are divided into several ethnic groups. People of the same ethnic group live together so that they can take care of each other."

"You should have heard about our situation from Dr. Li before, right? We people in Yunzhong City are particularly sensitive to light because of the poison on our bodies."

"In the first few years, we tried to stay out at night as much as possible, and we managed to get through it. But later we couldn't adapt to living in a bright room with windows, so we moved underground."

When Zhou Xuan talked about this, he glanced around vigilantly, making sure that no one else was following him, and then continued: "Firstly, it is to fight against the poison in our body, and secondly, it is also to Watch out for those guards in the city."

Ye Lingxi couldn't help being startled when she heard the words, and hurriedly asked: "What do you mean by guarding against them? I heard before that they are only responsible for guarding the exits of the city and not allowing you to go out. They usually don't interfere with your life, isn't that the case? ?"

"Will not interfere?" Zhou Xuan sneered, "They are from Tianqiong Kingdom. To them, we are their captives. Do you think they will treat captives as human beings?"
