Chapter 1044: 504 Perfectly Resolved (First Update) Chapter 1044: 504 Perfectly Resolved (First Update) “That can’t be done!” Gu Changqing refused without hesitation.
The plague was terrifying, and he had experienced it before. Almost after every disaster or war, an epidemic would break out; it was just a question of severity and urgency.
So epidemics were detected in ti and controlled effectively, which could stop them promptly, but casualties were still inevitable.
He would not allow her to risk her life.
“I am a doctor, I won’t co to harm,” Gu Jiao said as she took out a first aid kit from her little backpack, pulled on gloves and goggles, and donned a protective isolation gown.
Gu Changqing watched as she took out so many strange and various things from a small first aid kit and for a mont didn’t know what to say.
“You…”
He opened his mouth.
Having tied the last two straps of her isolation gown, Gu Jiao said to Gu Changqing, “With these, I am not afraid of infection!”
Logically, a protective suit would have been more effective, but the first aid kit didn’t contain one, only a surgical isolation gown, and there was only one, which was her size.
Once Gu Jiao made up her mind, nobody could change it, even if Gu Changqing doubted her going with him to commit assassination, she would still follow. Unless he left her here immobilized by acupoint blocking, but if the soldiers from the forr dynasty ca back, it would be dangerous for her to be left alone immobilized.
After much consideration, Gu Changqing reluctantly agreed to let her go.
Gu Jiao didn’t bring her Red-Tasseled Spear, instead she pulled out the dagger from her waist.
Gu Changqing handed her his own dagger, “Use this one.”
This dagger was longer and sharper than Gu Jiao’s.
“Okay,” Gu Jiao didn’t refuse.
“Keep the door open,” Gu Changqing said.
“Mm,” Gu Jiao complied.
See, most of the ti, she was very obedient.
Gu Jiao, with the dagger in hand, ca to the door of the room where the dead soldier was staying and knocked.
The footsteps ca from the direction of the wooden bridge. The dead soldier thought it was the soldiers from the remains of the forr dynasty, so he opened the door.
Just as the door swung open, the dead soldier realized sothing was amiss. He violently tried to close the door, but it was too late. Gu Jiao wedged the door with her foot, and her dagger thrust straight towards the dead soldier’s abdon!
The soldier’s attempt to close the door was a reflex action, and he regretted it imdiately after—why close the door when he could have just attacked! But the opportunity had slipped away. If he had directly attacked Gu Jiao, maybe she wouldn’t have succeeded.
Gu Jiao’s stab was swift, vicious, and accurate, leaving no room for the dead soldier to breathe.
She pulled out the knife, and blood splattered all over her!
The dead soldier lay motionless on the ground, dying without understanding how he ended up like this.
Seeing the blood of the dead soldier splattered all over Gu Jiao, Gu Changqing leaped out from behind the bushes and strode toward her.
Gu Jiao gestured a stop sign with her hand, “I’m fine, don’t co over!”
This was all blood potentially infected with the plague.
Gu Changqing stopped on the bridge, looking at her with concern.
Gu Jiao dragged the dead soldier into the cabin, which already had a fire burning inside. Originally, she had planned to burn the body along with the cabin but, hesitating for a mont, she changed her mind.
She searched the cabin for a shovel but couldn’t find one, so she knocked on the door of the adjacent cabin.
But the person inside didn’t dare to open the door at all.
Then, she tried several other cabins with no exceptions; nobody opened the door for her.
“Is it because I didn’t speak? Do they not know who I am, or do they think I am soone else?” Gu Jiao hesitated about whether to speak when the door of the cabin at the far east opened.
The young man who had tried to escape and had been brutally injured by the dead soldier limped out.
Curiously, the young man looked at Gu Jiao, who was dressed in strange gear, and then at the body lying in the pool of blood in front of the dead soldier’s cabin; he recognized that it was the body of the dead soldier.
He was stunned on the spot.
Gu Jiao simply walked over to him and asked, “Do you have a shovel?”
The young man was taken aback once more. A girl?!
This, this, this was a girl!
“Do you have a shovel?” Gu Jiao asked again.
“Ah, yes, yes, there is one, you… Miss… uh…” The young man didn’t know how to address her and asked stutteringly, “Do you need it?”
Gu Jiao: “I do.”
The young man turned to get the shovel. Perhaps it was because of his nervousness; he bumped into the door fra, dizzied and seeing stars.
After he entered the cabin, Gu Jiao heard muffled voices of conversation coming through.
“Who’s there?”
“Don’t know, but they’re probably not Yi Wang’s people.”
Yi Wang, the leader of the remnants of the forr dynasty, was said to be the uncle of the prince consort.
