NovelEnglishChapter 536: Xiao Jin
Zhou Huaijin sighed.
It was not very easy for him to control his emotions under such circumstances. He did not want to make the others concerned about him. So when he spoke with Gu Chaoyan, he made his tone sound more gentle.
He said, “What Fourth Brother said is that those without the cold are allowed to go into the capital, whilst those who have caught the cold should stay outside in this outskirt area and wait until they are cured. These people are infected, so they came back with me.”
“…”
“Fourth Brother is doing this because he hates me,” Zhou Huaijin said expressionessly.
Gu Chaoyan frowned. How could the court do everything correctly in this way?

Yes, they might be spreading the disease, but as long as they were taken to an allocation room and had the room guarded so that no one left it, all would work out too! How could they even be stopped from being inside the capital!
Gu Chaoyan clenched her fists tightly. She was extremely angry inwardly.
These are all civilians of the Saint Divine Land. How could they be treated in this way just because they had gotten a temporary disease! That was so saddening!
Gu Chaoyan was very furious, but she just could not utter the anger. It was a time where the King made the call. Even someone like Zhou Huaijin would have to bend down to the order.
Gu Chaoyan was not a very ambitious person, but at this moment, she felt extremely motivated.
She threw a look at Zhou Huaijin, who lightly caressed her hands, nodding.
They exchanged no words, but they understood clearly what each other wanted.
Gu Chaoyan calmed down – what mattered most of all right now was these refugees.
Within a short moment, she thought and then said, “Let’s continue to feel the pulse for them and allocate them in the separated rooms. The people in that one room were almost cured and if they can be taken to the capital, so much space would be spared. However, there is still no space here, can we find any other way?”
“Tents!” Zhou Huaijin said.
“Tents are needed at the military camp. It is impossible to set up new rooms right now, but tents can solve most of the issue. We have tents at the Ministry of Military, and Gu Yunxuan works there. We can ask him for help!” Zhou Huaijin said seriously.
He had never expected that Gu Yunxuan would come in handy someday, when he got him a job at the Ministry of Military.
Hearing these words, Gu Chaoyan believed that it was a great idea too.

Zhou Huaijin nodded and then got some of his men to get the tents ready as well as the food.
Seeing that everyone got busy, Xiao Jin hesitated.
He was not infected with a cold, and he was healthy. He did not want to be in the capital either. He just wanted to stand by Lady Chaoyan and support her, but he was not sure if Lady Chaoyan would need his help. So he glanced about and dared not make a move.
In the end, he asked bravely, “Lady Chaoyan, anything I can do to help?”
Gu Chaoyan threw a look at him.
It was a strong-looking young man without any disease.
She thought for a while…
“You can go into the capital to buy some food. Lord Huai has not got too many men with him, and we have a lot of refugees here. We are running out of food,” Gu Chaoyan said.
“I don’t want to!” Xiao Jin said with determination.
“Why?” Gu Chaoyan asked confusedly.
