Chapter 306: Control
"My brother is really good at talking. Gu Zhirong glanced at the young master, the latter smiled and didn't mind, and Lu Xing on the side exhaled softly.
Gu Zhirong knew that there were many people talking about it now, and it was not good to ask Lu Xing to verify the matter between him and the second young lady. What's more, that Second Prince Lu is a thin-skinned person, and if she asks him bluntly in front of everyone like this, it is easy for him to get off the stage.
She turned to the young master and said, "Brother, you let them wait for us at the bottom of the mountain first, let's go." ”
The young master knew that Gu Zhirong must have something to say to himself when he said this, so he ordered Lu Qin and the others to escort Mingyue and Lushui to the mountain first, and find a carriage by the way.
Looking at the back of the young master and his own young lady going away, Mingyue looked at Lu Xing worriedly, and then looked at Qin Lu: "You two come along, it is important to protect your young master and my young lady." I don't know anyone here, and I don't know what else to expect, so if something happens, it's not good. ”
Qin Lu rolled his eyes and said, "We don't want to either, but didn't you hear our young master tell us like this? What can we do!"
"You ......" Seeing that Qin Lu was targeting her own lady everywhere, Mingyue couldn't help but be a little angry.
Lu Xing glanced at Qin Lu and said busily: "Don't misunderstand, two girls, this brother of mine is just a little more straightforward, but in fact, he is still very good." Miss Mingyue, you are in danger, didn't my brother reach out and save you?"
On the one hand, Mingyue was angry at his disrespectful tone, and on the other hand, his life was saved by him. So he endured this breath and went straight down the mountain.
Gu Zhirong also thought of this question, and she looked around as she walked: "Brother." It's very dangerous here, as you've seen, and maybe the people who hurt me are now in ambush in the shadows, and now that we're going down the hill like this, there's no guarantee that they won't make a surprise attack. To be honest, Lu Gongzi and them should be called together. ”
The young master smiled slightly: "Girl, can't you trust me?"
Gu Zhirong shook his head: "You are profound. Of course I won't trust you. It's just that your injuries ......"
She looked at the position of his chest: "You must not listen to Imperial Doctor Hu again." Doctor Hu has said that you can't exercise within half a year. Can't move. Now that you're walking with me in this dangerous place, what if you meet the bad guys? If you're lucky, your injuries won't heal. ”
The more he talked about the end, the more anxious Gu Zhirong became. This kind of thing that is related to one's own life. Why doesn't the young master always take it to heart, is he too long?
Looking at Gu Zhirong's anxious appearance, the young master was stunned for a moment, and said quietly: "You care about me?"
Gu Zhirong said angrily: "Who cares about you? If I hadn't recognized you as a brother, I wouldn't have bothered to care about your life or death." ”
The young master said faintly again: "What if I don't want to be this brother?"
Gu Zhirong glanced at him, turned his head and left.
The young master hurriedly caught up and said in a good voice: "Don't be angry, I'm just talking." All right. Getting to the point, I'll answer your question first. You said I didn't listen to Dr. Hu. You have told me so many times, how dare I not listen to it? Don't worry, we won't meet bad people, and even if we meet bad people, I won't be lucky, and I won't make a move, okay?"
Gu Zhirong looked at him, a little crying and laughing: "I mean, for the sake of your body, it's best not to make a move when you don't make a move, but I don't want you to put yourself in a dangerous situation." ”
"There will be no danger. The young master smiled and asked Gu Zhirong to look in the direction he was pointing, "You saw it, right?"
The direction he pointed to was a continuous bush after thicket, very green. If you look closely, you will see that it is very different from the bushes elsewhere. There were dozens of people in it, and there were clearly dozens of people in ambush.
Gu Zhirong was taken aback: "You arranged it?"
The young master nodded: "Of course. ”
"This ...... This is a bit of a fuss, isn't it?" Gu Zhirong looked at him suspiciously. Isn't it too exaggerated for the young master of a mere treasure hall to use so many people to protect him?
The young master seemed to see through Gu Zhirong's thoughts, shook his head and said, "Girl, you think about it crookedly, these people are not specifically protecting me, I let them stay here for another purpose." ”
Gu Zhirong suddenly became interested: "What purpose?"
The young master was not in a hurry to answer her, but glanced at her and asked, "Tell me first, what are you doing here with two maid rings?"
Gu Zhirong smiled: "It's the same purpose as you going to Yuedi." ”
The young master said: "Could it be that you are also here for that plague?" Speaking of this, his expression became solemn, "Sister Rong, I will deal with this matter, you don't care, it's too dangerous." ”
Gu Zhirong shook his head: "Originally, I didn't want to take care of it, but now I don't want to take care of it, I can't do it, our old lady in Yuanning Hou Mansion has been recruited, the high fever continues, and she coughs up blood, fortunately, the treatment is timely, if not, I am afraid that the person will be gone." I wondered, who are those people, and why do they want to harm our Yuanning Marquis Mansion? Therefore, I have to find out those people, and I must not let them harm more people!"
The young master shook his head: "I'm afraid things won't be that simple. ”
Gu Zhirong's face did not have a look of surprise, as if what the young master said was exactly what she thought: "Not only is the matter not simple, but it is also very strange. ”
The young master said "oh" and said, "What do you think?"
Gu Zhirong said: "Have you ever seen such a gentle plague? Obviously, someone was infected, and they were robbed of their lives and died, but the people who came into contact with them didn't have anything to do. Also, the people who came into contact with her earlier were so scared that they all fled, which is not reasonable, and if you want to escape, you should run with the whole Zhuangzi. ”
The young master nodded and said, "That makes sense." And then, when you get there, what do you find? Did you catch anything?"
Gu Zhirong said: "I went to the place where Mrs. He lived, inspected the situation in the house, and asked the local villagers for some news. ”
The young master looked at her appreciatively and said, "Tell me, what have you found?"
Gu Zhirong said: "There are traces of blood on the kang in Mrs. He's house, as well as on the ground under the kang, so it can be concluded that Mrs. He must have been infected with the plague before her death. The villagers also said that Mrs. He's onset was very sudden, and it only took four or five days to get a high fever, coughing up blood, and then she died. Imperial Doctor Hu of the Taiyi Pavilion also went to see Mrs. He at that time, and was very sure that this was the plague. ”
"Plague?" said the young master heavily, "I went to Yuedi on this trip, and found the village and town where the disease first occurred, and it was indeed the plague. It's just ......"
The young master seems to have some things that he can't understand: "It's just that Yue Di is so far away from the capital, and it will take at least half a month to go back and forth." Even if someone in that village was infected with the plague and escaped, it would be impossible to survive until the capital to attack again, and he should have died of illness halfway through. ”
Gu Zhirong also said: "Yes, when the plague occurs, if you don't get timely treatment, it is impossible to get better." Besides, those germs can't be obedient, you say let it not flare up, it won't flare up, right?"
The young master nodded: "This is exactly what I can't figure out. ”
Gu Zhirong smiled slightly: "What if I say that someone has used medicine to control the condition?" (To be continued.) )
