Chapter 362: There Are Spies Amongst The Soldiers And Villagers

A Lu Da nodded and said, "Yes. Xu Xiang asked me to find out what the soldiers and Xiuluo warriors ate and drank for dinner last night."

Hearing what he said, A Lu Zhi thought for a few seconds and said, "I understand. It seems that the food and water is not the source of the strange disease."

Hearing what he said, A Lu Da asked in surprise: "Fourth Younger Brother, how do you know about this?"

Seeing his surprised expression, A Lu Zhi chuckled and said, "Eldest Brother, if Xu Xiang could find out the cause of this strange disease, she wouldn’t ask you to find out what the soldiers and Xiuluo warriors ate last night. Since she asked you to do this, that means the food and water are clean."

After listening to A Lu Zhi’s explanation, A Lu Da looked at him with a smile and said, "You are really smarter than me."

A Lu Zhi just smiled at him and didn’t comment on his words. Then he looked at the soldiers and Xiuluo warriors who were lined up in front of him, and said, "All of you should have heard what the commander said just now. We need to ask you some questions. I hope everyone can cooperate with me so we can finish this as soon as possible."

As soon as he said this, the soldiers said in unison: "Yes, Sir."

A Lu Zhi nodded and said, "Someone, please bring the paper, ink and writing brush for me."

After he finished speaking, a soldier went to fetch paper, ink and a writing brush for A Lu Zhi. After the tables and chairs were set up, A Lu Zhi sat down and said, "Let’s begin."

The first one to step forward was a Xiuluo warrior. Standing in front of A Lu Zhi, after reporting his name, he recalled what he ate last night and calmly said, "Last night, I just came to get my share of food and take it back with me. I share the food with my family and only eat one steam bun."

Hearing what he said, A Lu Zhi wrote down his words in detail, and then said, "All right. Thank you for your cooperation. You can go back to your post now."

The Xiuluo warrior saluted him and A Lu Da, and then went to join A Lu Yu to patrol the village. Seeing that A Lu Zhi really only wrote down what that Xiuluo warrior ate last night, the soldiers were all relieved.

Because they were not natives of this Shen Gu village nor were they members of the Xiuluo tribe or Yishi tribe, when they heard that A Lu Zhi was going to question them, they were all feeling anxious. Fortunately, they just overthink it. Afterwards, everyone stepped forward one by one and told A Lu Zhi in detail what they ate last night.

Seeing that A Lu Zhi can handle everything here alone, A Lu Da said, "Fourth Younger Brother, I still have to go to check on Xiao Xiong. I will leave this matter to you."

A Lu Zhi nodded to him and said, "All right."

After A Lu Da left, A Lu Zhi continued to question all the soldiers and Xiuluo warriors carefully. Three hours later, when the last batch of soldiers finished telling him the details, A Lu Zhi started packing everything up.

He looked at the soldier and asked, "Can you bring the table and chair back for me?"

The soldier nodded and said, "Yes."

A Lu Zhi thanked him and then went to the commander’s tent with the papers. When he walked into the tent, he saw Xu Xiang was busy working on a small device.

He walked up to her, put a stack of papers on the table, and said, "Xu Xiang, this is the information about what the soldiers and Xiuluo warriors ate last night."

Hearing his words, Xu Xiang raised her head from the minicomputer screen and said, "Thank you for your hard work."

After finishing speaking, she rubbed her eyes and asked wearily: "How is the situation now?"

A Lu Zhi sat in front of her and said, "The situation is still under control, but the number of patients is still increasing. The physicians report that some villagers are also infected with this strange disease."

Hearing what he said, Xu Xiang lowered her eyes and fell into deep thought. After a moment of silence, she raised her eyes to look at A Lu Zhi and said, "A Lu Zhi, tell the staff in the kitchen to stop preparing food. Also, forbid everyone to drink the water from the well."

After Xu Xiang said this, A Lu Zhi frowned slightly and said, "If they are not allowed to drink well water and not given food, wouldn’t the villagers become anxious? If this is not handled carefully, the situation can become chaotic in an instant."

Xu Xiang shook her head and said, "Don’t worry. We will distribute food and water to everyone, but we will not use the food in the warehouse nor the water from the well, until we make sure that everything is safe for consumption. For now, I will provide everyone with the ingredients and water. We must appoint some Xiuluo warriors to watch the kitchen staff prepare the food too."

A Lu Zhi thought about what she said just now, and said, "This is indeed the best solution for our current situation."

After a moment of silence, Xu Xiang asked, "A Lu Zhi, did A Lu Ge manage to catch those barbarians?"

A Lu Zhi shook his head and said, "There is no news yet. But my eldest brother said that he is going to help Xiao Xiong to catch those barbarians. With my eldest brother’s help, we don’t have to worry about it."

Hearing his answer, Xu Xiang glanced at the screen of the minicomputer, then looked at him and said, "I think there are spies amongst the soldiers and villagers."
