Chapter 53: Swap
Jiang Yue, Lin Chengtian and others rushed all the way to Pingcheng. However www.biquge.info there are checkpoints set up within a radius of ten miles from Pingcheng to prevent the sick people from escaping.
"Stop! Who are you! "The soldiers lazy them.
"This king is Prince Naicheng, and he has come to solve the plague by order." Lin Chengtian took out the token symbolizing his identity.
The rescue team arrived in Pingcheng County two days ago, and all the officials in Pingcheng except for Lin Chengtian's friend were dismissed. When the soldiers saw that it was Lin Chengtian, they immediately respectfully made way for Lin Chengxuan and the others.
Jiang Yue and the others walked all the way, and within three miles, they could see scattered corpses on the side of the road, as well as flocks of crows. It's rare to have a sunny day, but such a scene is even more weird.
"Put on the mask I made for you." Jiang Yue reminded them when she saw the corpse.
"Damn it!" When Lin Chengtian saw such a scene, he was very angry, and he also increased his strength to wave the horsewhip.
After seeing Lin Chengtian speed up, the others also sped up, and within a moment, they arrived outside Pingcheng County. They found that there were many soldiers guarding the city, and there were many makeshift tents and many refugees.
Less than three miles away, billowing black smoke rose. It was the black smoke that rose from the burning of corpses.
"Your Royal Highness!" Suddenly, a voice came from the crowd.
Lin Chengtian looked around for the man.
"Your Royal Highness!" The man ran out of the crowd and came to Lin Chengtian's side, "Your Royal Highness, why don't you wear a mask!" "Except for Lin Chengtian and Zhang Li, they all wore masks.
"I just left in a hurry and forgot. Lu Heng, how is the situation now? Lin Chengtian put on the mask made by Jiang Yue, and when he heard the voice, he could tell that the person was his friend in Pingcheng, Lu Heng.
"It's a bad situation! More than 20,000 people have died from the disease. Dr. Heijo unfortunately also contracted an illness while treating a patient. Lu Heng explained to them.
After Jiang Yue and the others dismounted, they looked around and asked Xiao Qi in a low voice, "Are there so many people in one city?" ”
Xiao Qi was a little speechless, "Miss, Pingcheng is a county, and a radius of thirty miles is controlled by Pingcheng." ”
"Oh, I said how there are so many people."
Jiang ...... Jiang Gongzi, please come over for a moment. Lin Chengtian was still a little unaccustomed to calling her that.
Jiang Yue responded and walked to Lin Chengtian and Lu Heng's side, and Lin Chengtian introduced Lu Heng, "This is the apprentice of Wujing Daoist, and he will assist us this time." ”
"It turned out to be the apprentice of the Wujing Daoist! Fortunately, I will be glad to meet you! Now Pingcheng will be saved. Lu Heng said with a smile.
"Lord Lu, let's go see those patients first."
"Okay, come on, bring the horse into the city, and don't let the horse get sick."
"How can Lord Lu not get sick in the city?" Jiang Yue was a little strange.
"Alas...... The previous prefectural decree ordered the closure of the city in order to prevent the people of the city from getting sick. When the people of the imperial court came, they couldn't get the refugees in. ”
"Why?"
"Hmph, why, because the people of the city don't let those who are sick come in, they are afraid of being infected!" Lu Heng said this with an angry face.
Jiang Yue didn't speak after hearing this, but Lin Chengtian said, "It's not to blame them, they also have relatives around them." Refugees who enter may not always be treated if they enter. ”
"Did the previous doctor say anything?" Jiang Yue put on burlap gloves and walked over to a dying patient.
"The doctor said it might be the plague, but it wasn't like it. Medicines for plague did not work. ”
"Indeed......" After Jiang Yue diagnosed the patient, she also thought it was plague, but the medicine did not work, why is this?
"We also sent people to Kankan Village, the source of the disease, to check, and they all thought it was plague, but ......" Lu Heng was very distressed.
Jiang Yue stood up and said to Lu Heng, "Take me to Kankan Village, Your Royal Highness, you stay and command." ”
Lin Chengtian nodded and agreed, and at the same time told her to be careful.
Jiang Yue and the others came to Kankan Village under the leadership of Lu Heng, and found that it was empty, thinking that those people had already entered reincarnation.
As the saying goes, illness comes from the mouth, and Jiang Yue's first thought was water and food. So Jiang Yue asked Lu Heng to take her to find a nearby water source.
"The nearest river here is just ahead, and that river flows through most of Pingcheng County." Lu Heng took Jiang Yue and them to the river. Several animal carcasses were found next to the river.
"It seems that there is a problem with this water...... Jiang Yue suddenly turned around, "You just said that this river flows through most of Pingcheng County?" ”
"Yes, this river is the source of the Qu River, and there are some tributaries during this period."
"Are there any infections in the areas where those tributaries flow?"
"Nope. We're also puzzled by this. Lu Heng touched his chin.
"Then let's go to those tributaries and find out why!" Jiang Yue already has some leaders, and it seems that there are plants around those tributaries to restrain this disease.
And the distant imperial capital is not peaceful.
In the Yuewang Mansion, a sparrow flew to Limu's side, chirping non-stop. The bird, which was originally very ordinary, flew away after a few calls, but Riki's expression froze all of a sudden.
That bird was a letter bird used by Chaofengguo's secret guards to communicate, and only Chaofengguo's secret guards could understand it.
Riki sat on the edge of the bed for a long time, from day to night, without eating or drinking. Seeing Limu like this, Ah Chun was so anxious that he couldn't do it, but no matter how he said it, Limu didn't speak.
The next day, Limu asked the chief of the guard, "Chief of the guard, can I go to Yichun Tower?" ”
The chief guard joked, "What are you going to do there?" I can't bear to be there! ”
"No, it's just that I have something left there and want to get it back." Riki said with a smile.
"Is it important?" The chief of the guard frowned, after all, the prince ordered him to be protected and not allowed to leave the palace. "If it's important, I can have someone get it back for you."
"It's important, so I'm going to go myself, and I'm hiding in a very secret place. If you can, can you please come with me? ”
The head of the guard thought for a while, and finally nodded and agreed, after all, he was just a little girl, and what danger could he encounter.
The chief guard sent five men to accompany him. Ah Chun also wanted to go with him, but Riki refused, "It's just to take something." ”
In the end, Limu touched Ah Chun's head and left the Yue Wang's Mansion in a carriage.
When I arrived at Yichun Tower, the store was not yet open. Limu knocked on the door, and a man came to open the door, and when he saw that it was Limu, he immediately greeted him, and the five guards followed in.
"The five eldest brothers will drink some tea here first, and I'll go back as soon as I go." Riki asked the man to pour tea for them, and slowly walked to the second floor, to the room that had been his.
When Limu pushed the door open, he saw the bustard and two other women and a man in the house, a woman dressed in black sitting at the table drinking tea, and the rest of the people standing.
"Wood, long time no see." The woman looked back at Riki with a smile.
"Meet the master." Riki bowed respectfully to the woman, and without the woman's command, Riki did not lift up.
"I won't say much, you know what you should do." The woman continued to drink her tea, not looking at him.
"Understand, boy." Riki walked to a cabinet and took out a painting and handed it to the man, who had already disguised himself into Riki.
The man walked out of the door with the painting, and the closed door seemed to close the path of the pear wood to the light.
Soon, a guy knocked on the door and whispered, "Auntie, they're gone." ”
When the bustard heard this, he looked at the woman in black.
"Let's go, we have other things to do. Even if your martial arts have been abolished, you can still ride a horse. The woman smiled and looked at Riki, "Oh, by the way, cover up your beautiful face." ”
After saying that, the girl who had been standing next to her took out a wooden box and handed it to Riki.
Limu took the wooden box and said lightly, "Yes." ”
The rebellious Limu is like an ordinary person, and no one will notice it when he is put in the crowd, and he also hides his original temperament. Now he is like a passerby.
"Ah, I heard that in the Yuewang Mansion, Miss Jiang Yue takes care of you very much." The woman asked him with a smile.
Riki didn't understand why she was talking about Riki.
"Wood, could it be that you have been away from the secret guard for too long, and even your observation is weak?" The woman snorted disdainfully, then turned her head and walked ahead.
The girl looked at Riki and wanted to say something.
Limu smiled when she saw the girl, "It turned out to be Yu'er, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”
"Senior brother...... Don't you think Jiang Yue is a little similar to the Fifth Highness? The master suspects that she is the daughter of the former third princess. ”
Li Mu was shocked and couldn't speak, then, the master is going to arrest Jiang Yue this time...... If this is really the case, should he tell Jiang Yue, should he tell Jiang Zhengming......
"Senior brother, I advise you not to help Jiang Yue, if you help Jiang Yue, Your Highness will be finished." Rain saw what Riki was thinking, so he reminded him.
Riki remained motionless after hearing this.
"Let's go." Yu didn't say anything more, urging Riki to go, she had already said too much.
On this day, the sun is just right in the imperial capital, the streets are prosperous and lively, and everything is peaceful and beautiful. But for Riki, this may be a paradise he will never return to.
Jiang Yue, who was trying to find a solution to the plague in the distance, did not know what kind of disaster he would face.
