The morning birds cry and the dawn is slightly dewed.

Yingli felt that the time was coming, and immediately woke up, and looked back at the Duanmu couch in the same room.

I saw that the woman on the couch had changed her clothes and sat down, sitting cross-legged, closing her eyes and calming.

Yingli softly got up and tidied up and left the house, and when she closed the door, she caught a glimpse of dozens of medicine bottles listed on the side of the table, as well as silver needles and cloths.

It looks like a late-night drug research, and it hasn't been sorted out yet.

For a moment, I was stunned.

The woman in red didn't say much, went to wash and prepare food, and then came over to fetch water at Chenshi, and saw that Duanmu had already stayed, and she was looking at the medicine jar and needle on the table with deep eyebrows.

"Sir, wash up first, I'll tidy up. Yingli put down the warm water and gave Duanmu to wash, and then took over.

The woman on the side of the desk restrained her eyes, nodded and washed quietly, and waited until Yingli tidied up and served breakfast, and the man in white sat in a wooden wheelchair and said calmly: "Please ask Yingli to call my senior brother over." ”

Yingli was stunned for a moment, then nodded in response, wiped her hands and straightened Duanmu's hair, and then walked to the place where Mo Ran was staying.

The courtyard where the male and female doctors and the sick were staying looked at each other from a distance in the manor, and Mo Ran followed Yingli, and the young man behind him, dressed in black and covered with a tin mask above the bridge of his nose, always followed by his side.

The four of them sat around the table and ate together.

"In the case of the recruits, if it is difficult to diagnose the cause of the plague, and the poison cannot be detected, has the senior brother ever thought about the situation caused by the concurrent inhibition of such a plague and the dark poison?" After the meal, Duanmu Ning said in a condensed voice and Mo Ran.

The man in the ink cloth was immediately shocked when he heard this, and his eyes were shocked. "The meaning of the junior sister is that they already have a secret poison in their bodies, and this poison is compatible with the epidemic, and after the recruits are infected with the epidemic, the two lead to each other and suppress each other, so that the current situation is caused?"

Duanmu light jaw head. "I guess. This dark poison should be able to inhibit the epidemic, so that the evil in the epidemic and disperse throughout the body to form herpes, in fact, it reduces the danger of the epidemic, but also aggravates the pain of the patient, and makes the disease look like a fever poison, so you and I notice that the changes in the period are difficult to diagnose, and the method of heat poison is even more incurable. ”

Mo Ran Rin said: "In this way, why can't it be tested for poison?"

Duanmu Si said: "If the dark poison and the epidemic are about to break out, and then the residual poison will reside in the blisters and be mixed with the dead flesh and rotten blood, so that the poison will not be detected in the recruit's body." ”

Mo Ran immediately shook again.

Later, dozens of military doctors were gathered to discuss again, and after examination and trial, it was finally confirmed that the recruits were not infected with heat poison, but through mosquito bites, dengue fever, which was transmitted from mosquito bites to the infected body, which was quite damaged and cruel but not fatal, and only made people suffer and suffer.

"There is a cure for bone pain and fever in ancient times, although it is dangerous and dangerous, but it can still be controlled, and this situation of the epidemic and poison is mixed so that we don't know it, but we are caught off guard, and tens of thousands of soldiers are killed!"

Duanmu pursed his lips and was silent, and his voice was heavy.

Beiqu, Kong Jia, and Kong Yi rushed to hear the news.

Beiqu asked: "So the epidemic and the poison have been learned, can the two gentlemen have a solution?"

Mo Ran and Duanmu nodded at the same time. "Detoxification first, then cure. ”

The young general couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Shu is hot and humid and full of miasma mosquitoes, the probability of contracting bone pain and fever is extremely high, it has been in ancient times, so we have long taken precautions against this, but we don't want to prevent it...... "The military doctor said: "And the patient is poisoned, why come, we still don't know." ”

Mo Ran said: "I have observed several patients, and the blister poison in the sores is heavy, and the person who has not developed herpes cannot be detected in the body, so I feel that this poison should be caused by the heat disease, if the heat disease is not serious, it will be hidden and not released, if it is not poisoned." Those who are not sick are more like ordinary people, so the people in the army may have been poisoned for a long time, but they don't know it. ”

Kong Jiaping said: "Corresponding to the Wu sacrifice, it is a Qiang plan." ”

Beiqu pinched the reed grass and said coldly: "First poison, and then carry out the curse of the evil curse, at this time, if you quietly drive the mosquitoes with the source of the disease into our army, you can break out this terrible disease that makes people have herpes all over the place, and we will misdiagnose it as a hot poison, which cannot be cured, and the sick will die one by one in pain. It's vicious!"

Duanmu was quiet for a moment, then closed his eyes and sank: "Is there one person in the Qiang cavalry, whose name is Helian Qizhi?"

Mo Ran's eyes darkened when he heard this, and his expression was a little dull and cold.

Beiqu immediately responded: "This person is the military advisor next to Yi Zhong, the eldest prince of the Na Yao tribe, who led hundreds of horsemen to attack the new barracks in Luodian at the end of June. ”

The man in white raised his eyes and said in a deep voice: "This person ...... The general must not be left unguarded. ”

A few people in Beiqu shook again, and responded respectfully: "Mr. Xie pointed!"

Kong Jiasi said abruptly: "The Qiang cavalry attacked Luodian, and half of the grain and grass were destroyed. ”

Kong Yi wrinkled his eyebrows for a moment when he heard this, and after thinking about it, he snorted lukewarmly: "Be really scheming!"

Several military doctors were still puzzled, and Beiqu had already woken up: "It turns out that they attacked Luodian not at all to burn grain and grass, but to poison the grain and grass! Therefore, it is clear that they have the spare strength to kill and injure nearly 10,000 new soldiers, but they have not been able to destroy all the grain and grass! They actually deliberately left behind! The depth of their scheming here can be seen!"

Duanmu looked ahead, speechless for a while, and there was a slight color in his empty eyes.

After inspection, it was found that the grain and grass did contain blister poison, and this blister poison had a bloody sweet smell, which could attract mosquitoes to get close, so most of the soldiers in the battalion were poisoned and infected with epidemic diseases, and outsiders rarely got it.

Duanmu and Mo Ran were separated from detoxification and inhibition, tried the medicine hundreds of times, and finally got the solution, talking about the thousands of miserable howling people in the city who were getting sicker and lighter, and there was a sign of improvement.

A few days later, the military doctor who came and went from Luodian urgently reported to the main tent camp: "The recruits who were isolated in Luodian City are too seriously ill, and many of them have taken medicine that cannot be controlled, so we are really helpless, so we have ......to report it urgently."

Beiqu invited Duanmu and the two to decide, and the person in the wooden wheelchair asked: "Where is Luodian, how many people are seriously ill?"

The medic replied, "Nearly five thousand." ”

Duanmu's eyes were worried, his eyebrows were sympathetic, he paused for a while, and said lightly: "I'll go." ”

Mo Ran's heart tightened, and he immediately replied: "If Senior Sister wants to go to Luodian, I will go with you." ”

Duanmu looked back at where he was, and after a moment's silence, he shook his head. "Although the epidemic situation in the city has improved, it has not yet healed, and I am afraid that something will happen. If the senior brother stays here, he should be safe. ”

Mo Ran suddenly felt uneasy in his heart, and he wanted to say again, Beiqu had already nodded and promised: "Mr. has the name of a miracle doctor, and we can only hope that Mr. Yu will go and save the lives of these five thousand recruits." Fortunately, Luodian is located in the east of Tanzhi, and there is no worry about war, but it is hard to go, and please take care of yourself. ”

Duanmu chin, light bow as a courtesy.

At noon the next day, Mo Ran sent Duanmu outside the city gate.

The man in the ink cloth and the moire helped him to the front of the carriage, and at the end, the hand holding the curtain hesitated for a long time, and then gently grasped Duanmu's wrist. "Senior sister, do you still want to know the life experience of senior brother?"

The woman in white bent over the wheel, stopped when she heard the words, and looked back.

Mo Ran looked at her leaning closer, as if she was listening, her expression was quiet and calm, she couldn't help pursing her lips and solemnly face, and reached out to hug her into her arms.

Duanmu was stunned, and then his heart was shocked, and he was suffocated for a while.

Mo Ran whispered to her and said: "When we talk about the stability of the epidemic situation in the city, the senior brother will go to you, what is your life experience at that time, how is the past, what is the past, do what you want, once I do, I will not hide anything from you." ”

After that, he let go of the person in his arms, continued to lift the carriage curtain, and said to her in a low voice: "Can you wait for me?"

Duanmu was stunned for a moment, lowered his eyes a little, and nodded subconsciously.

The snow-colored harrier fluttered its wings and landed on the top of the carriage, and the glass rose and drove eastward.

The dust and sand were blowing, the moire of the ink clothes was swaying in the morning breeze, and Mo Ran stopped and looked at the carriage in the distance, and gradually disappeared into the sky. The young man behind him also looked at him silently for a long time.

……

Ten days later, Ye Luye received a summons on his way back to Guiyun Valley in southern Xinjiang.

Ningzhou's new assassin Shi Zhou Lang also rebelled, and re-led the Qiang soldiers from Ningzhou to avoid the Chinese army and talk about the fingers to go around Luodian after the army, and led 3,000 Ningzhou Prefecture soldiers and 10,000 Qiang cavalry led by Yi Zhong, the eldest prince of the Xiqiang Burning Tribe, to encircle and break Luodian City for three days, and then set fire to the city.

For a while, thick smoke shrouded the sky over Luodian City for several days, the grass and trees were lifeless, the corpses were under the beams, the walls were minced with meat, and only the smell of burning permeated the city.

The last sentence is a postscript.

At that time, the Qingyun Sect Master was in Luodian, and he didn't know whether he was alive or dead.
