"How can there be martial law?" asked Song Yanzhao as he pretended to be surprised.

The purpose of their visit to Lingnan did not tell the ancient doctor truthfully, only that they were here to find medicine for their family.

Doctor Gu's eyes flashed, seeing that Song Yanzhao's expression was calm, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, feeling that it should have nothing to do with them.

"I heard that there were thieves in the Prime Minister's Mansion and stole things from the Prime Minister's Mansion, and the Prime Minister was furious and asked all cities to strictly investigate it, especially Cangyuan, which was even stricter. ”

Song Yanzhao, Zhao Cheng, and Hu Dong glanced at each other and did not speak.

Cangyuan City is a city closest to the border of Jingchang Kingdom, out of Cangyuan, it is Pingshan County of Yizhou Road, and it is difficult for Jingchang people to arrest people again.

Prime Minister Jingchang was obviously very aware of this, so he strictly investigated Cangyuan, and he must catch them before they leave Cangyuan City.

This also shows that at least Prime Minister Jingchang must have taken the account book from Yizhou Road.

Song Yanzhao's brows frowned slightly.

Doctor Gu asked them about their search for medicine with concern, "Have you found medicine?"

Song Yanzhao shook his head, "I don't know if Doctor Gu has any eyebrows here?"

When he met Gu Gang before, he told Mu Jin about his situation, asked Dr. Gu if he had heard of a similar illness, and asked him to inquire on his behalf.

"I have indeed heard of such a disease before, and in our Lingnan, there are indeed people who will suffer from nightmares, and there has been a "method of awakening", which is said to be able to awaken people who are in a nightmare. Dr. Gu explained in detail the situation he had inquired about in the past two days.

Song Yanzhao's eyes lit up, "How should this method of awakening be implemented? Where is the doctor's meeting, I'll invite you?"

Doctor Gu shook his head regretfully, "This was the method of more than ten years ago, and now it has been lost, and no one will know it for a long time." ”

No one will? Song Yanzhao's face suddenly darkened.

In fact, this technique of awakening is the method of prayer, burning incense, divination, going to the place where the sick are in a bad place to summon spirits, and summoning back all the souls of the sick who have been scared away. ”

Seeing his gloomy expression, Doctor Gu couldn't bear to comfort him.

"This method is very secretive, and often outsiders are not allowed to watch, and we have only heard of and seen such patients being cured, but we don't know how they were cured. ”

"There are also rumors that the treatment process is terrible, and that people who are unstable can be easily frightened, and some people say that people who are being treated have to pay something in exchange for their soul that was scared away. ”

"Because the treatment method is too secretive, no one sees it, and after more than ten years, the treatment method has gradually been lost. ”

"Actually, it doesn't have to be usable, and the situation of your fiancée is not necessarily a nightmare. ”

Dr. Gu once heard Song Yanzhao say that it was his fiancée who was sick.

Although Dr. Gu comforted him, Song Yanzhao was still in a bad mood.

The glimmer of hope he held before was shattered, which made him feel very bad, and now he wants to return to Yizhou Road even more, and wants to stay by Mu Jin's side with his own eyes.

No matter what, he didn't give up, he believed that Mu Jin would definitely wake up.

I wonder how she's doing now?

I haven't seen her for four days, and with the heart of missing, Song Yanzhao can't bear a heart beating extremely fast.

Seeing that he was silent, and knowing that he was in a bad mood, Dr. Gu did not speak again and went out to prepare a meal for them.

As soon as Doctor Gu left, Hu Dong stood up first, "Third Master, I'll quietly go out to explore the situation." ”

You can't sit back and wait here.

When it was almost dark, Hu Dong came back.

"The city gate is very strict, and all those who enter and exit must not only have a way, but also strictly check all luggage, even the baggage on their backs must be opened, one by one. Hu Dong's face was a little unpleasant.

The investigation is so strict, it is naturally not easy to go out.

And it would be easier if only they went out, after all, they were confident that they had not left any traces in the Prime Minister's Mansion.

It's rare how to get those ledgers out of the city smoothly.

Song Yanzhao thought for a while, "That city gate is the strictest?"

"North City Gate. Hu Dong sighed.

Unexpectedly, since Prime Minister Jingchang expected that it was the people from Yizhou Road who stole the account book, he naturally had to strictly investigate the north gate leading to Yizhou Road.

Song Yanzhao squinted his eyes and thought for a while, took out a simple map from his arms, looked at it for a moment, and pointed in one direction, "We will go out from the West City Gate early tomorrow morning." ”

"West City Gate?" Zhao Cheng and Hu Dong all frowned.

Not far from the east gate of Cangyuan is Erhai Lake, and after Erhai Lake, it is the Great Zhou.

Outside the west gate, there are rolling mountains.

"From the West City Gate, there are mountains, and there is no smooth road, so it is very difficult to walk. Zhao Cheng pointed to a mountain on the map.

Song Yanzhao curled the corners of his mouth, "Because of this, the inventory of the West City Gate must be the loosest among the four gates, and once we are exposed, there are many mountain roads, it is difficult for us to walk, and it is naturally difficult for the chasing soldiers to walk." ”

Hu Dong scratched his head, "The third master is really right, the inspection of the west gate is indeed not as strict as the north gate and the east gate." ”

As soon as the words fell, Dr. Gu walked in with a meal.

Song Yanzhao stood up, "Let's eat first." ”

In fact, if you go out of the city, it's not that you can't help it, you just have to use Doctor Gu.

For this enthusiastic Gu doctor, Song Yanzhao didn't want to involve him, so they had to figure out their own way to get out of the city.

The next day, as soon as the sky was bright, the four gates of Cangyuan City were opened.

There were already people standing at the north gate waiting to leave the city, but there were only a few people at the west gate.

A car with a distinct stench gradually approached the West City Gate.

The stench wafted from the huge vat in the car.

People passing by all covered their noses, their faces full of disgust.

The three of them were lying on their backs, with a gray sweat towel covering their faces, and they were pushing the cart forward.

Walking all the way to the city gate, the pungent smell of the city gate guard subconsciously took a step back.

"Go out of the city again to pour night incense?" the gatekeeper covered his nose and looked at the big bucket with a frown.

Song Yanzhao mumbled indistinctly.

"Why do you look at the eyes? Aren't you going to fall at this time on weekdays?"

Hu Dong smiled and tore off the cloth towel covering his face, "Old Zhang Tou is sick today and can't get out of bed, I'm his nephew, so I'll come for him for a day!"

The gatekeeper frowned, didn't speak again, went to get a long bamboo stick, stretched it into the big bucket, twisted his brows, covered his nose and stirred it a few times.

The pungent stench was so bad that he almost didn't spit it out, stirring it up a few times and not hearing anything or what he thought was suspicious.

Taking out the bamboo pole, the gate guard waved his hand, "Hurry up, hurry up!

Song Yanzhao lowered his eyelids, and Hu Dong and Zhao Cheng quickly pushed the car and left.

The trail is mountainous, and the further you go, the narrower the terrain becomes.

Song Yanzhao went out of the city, found a secluded place, opened the compartment under the big swill bucket, and took out the ledger inside.
