“Big Brother, how can we join them in their evildoing? Master said that our 18 stockaded villages and the royal family would be separated. If we initiate something this time, I’m afraid we’ll—”

Shen Yan raised his hand to interrupt him.

He did not want anything to do with the royal family either. This was what his master had hoped for too.

Back then, his master was forced into a terrible state. He almost died because of his internal and external injuries. Ultimately, he had no choice but to bring his brothers from the 18 Stockaded Villages to live in seclusion at the border.

They were unwilling to befriend the royal family again!

“None of us are willing to compromise, but our unwillingness to compromise is nothing compared to all these lives.”

His brothers all sighed heavily. Their perseverance could only manifest as helpless sighs. What else could they do?

“Big Brother, why don’t we go to the military camp? Compared to that person, I think it’s more suitable to look for Prince Zhanyun,” Ai Qi suggested suddenly.

Unlike that person who only wanted to recruit them for selfish reasons, Prince Zhanyun had common interests with them.

Shen Yan pondered for a long time before sighing again. “How about this? I’ll go to the military camp first and see what Prince Zhanyun wants. Otherwise—”

“Otherwise, we’ll spend a lot of money to buy the prescription for treating the disease. I’m sure we can buy it if we gather all the treasures in our 18 stockaded villages!” Luo Zhong slammed his fist on the table and said in a deep voice.

The people raised by the royal family were the greediest. They could betray their masters for a small sum of money, let alone a large sum.

They just had to target someone greedy. They could find one easily!

“Big Brother, make a trip to the military camp. We’ll also look for a way out. I don’t believe we have no other choice but to look for that person!”

He looked at Shen Yan with hatred in his heart.

That person must be waiting for us to come knocking on his door excitedly. I don’t believe the epidemic outbreak in the 11th village has nothing to do with that person! I’ll teach that person a lesson when the epidemic is cured!

The royal family? They’re useless! They had to rely on Master to progress from an inferior nation to a superior one! We won’t work with a royal family like that!

“Alright, let’s do that.” Shen Yan nodded, and they decided on it.

“Qi Gu and I will make a trip to the military camp. The rest of you, find another way. There are so many people in the 18 Stockaded Villages. There’s no way we can’t find a solution!”

“Okay.”

“Alright!”

They agreed in unison. The meeting ended, and everyone went about their tasks.

…

In the dense forest…

Deputy General Sun, dressed in plain clothes, followed An Jiuyue. They carried bamboo baskets and were carefully searching for the two medicinal herbs.

“Miss Jiuyue, why is there only Moon Whisper Grass here?”

Deputy General Sun already became familiar with the Moon Whisper Grass. However, he had yet to see the other medicinal herb. He did not know when it would appear.

“The other medicinal herb won’t appear here. It usually grows by the hot spring. We’ll look for it after we gather enough Moon Whisper Grass.”
