Chapter 115: Bad News

The night was dark, but the general's mansion in Shanzhou City was brightly lit. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

In the backyard, Wang Jiqing, who had been briefly groomed, had just changed into clothes to meet guests, and returned to the main hall with two maids.

"Miss Six," Liu Cheng, who had been waiting here for a long time, also changed his armor and wore regular clothes. At this time, seeing Wang Ji entering the house lightly, he quickly knelt down again and made a big gift to see the head of the house.

"Lord Liu, please get up." Wang Jiqing said lightly while glancing at Ding Erniu. Seeing this, Ding Erniu hurriedly stepped forward to help Liu Cheng, and the two stood at the bottom together.

"Sit down first and talk about the situation in northern Xinjiang." Wang Ji sat down lightly, although her expression was tired, her smart eyes were bright and bright.

"Yes." The two sat down, Liu Cheng breathed a sigh of relief, his face was quite sad, and after a while, he slowly spoke.

"Sixth Miss, Tang Guogong Li Yuan died of illness in Qizhou three days ago."

"What?" Thirteen Niang panicked for a while, and actually knocked over the tea cup next to the young lady's hand.

"Miss, are you alright?" Sorry not to care about Thirteen Niang's panic, she hurriedly picked up the handkerchief and wiped Wang Xi's hands. Fortunately, it didn't burn Miss.

After another half an hour, everyone still didn't see Miss speak, and they panicked. "Miss?"

"I'm fine." Wang Ji came back to her senses lightly, suppressed her worries about Li Yuanche, and then looked up at Liu Cheng.

"Why didn't we hear the slightest rumor about this on our way north?" Tang Guogong was quite prestigious in northern Xinjiang, and the Li family army he led was the main force to block the barbarian invasion. In northern Xinjiang, especially in Qizhou, Li Yuan's position is as light as a weight. If something happened to Li Yuan, how could the entire northern Xinjiang not be exposed at all?

"It's a long story." Liu Cheng took a sip of tea, stabilized his mind for a while, and then spoke with a solemn face.

"Half a month ago, there was a sudden continuous outbreak of malaria in Jiuzhai in northern Xinjiang, and after Tang Guogong received the news, in order to prevent the barbarians from taking the opportunity to attack, he rushed to Valenburg, where the epidemic first broke out, with his personal guards."

"Unexpectedly, outside Valenburg, the group was attacked by the barbarians, and Tang Guogong was also seriously injured and unconscious. Due to the urgency of the situation at that time, it was too late to return to Qizhou for treatment, so everyone had to hurriedly carry Tang Guogong into Valenburg for treatment. ”

"Three days later, after Tang Guogong's injuries stabilized a little and he came to his senses, the group carried Tang Guogong back to Qizhou secretly."

Who would have thought that not long after returning to Qizhou City, Tang Guogong began to have symptoms of constant chills and fever, and cold sweat all over his body. The doctor who accompanied him in the army concluded that he was infected with malaria. Who would have thought that in just a few days, dozens of people in the army were fine, but Tang Guogong alone contracted malaria.

In order to prevent the news from leaking and causing panic among the people, Tang Guogong ordered the news to be blocked, and since then, the door of the Marshal Zhenbei Mansion has been closed. Until ten days ago, when General Li Yuanche, the son of Tang Guogong, secretly returned to Northern Xinjiang with Zhang Shenyi and other doctors, Tang Guogong was already unconscious. ”

"Three days ago, although he was rescued by Dr. Zhang, Tang Guogong, who had been seriously injured, finally did not survive the epidemic and died of illness in Qizhou."

"In order to prevent the news from leaking out, the barbarians took the opportunity to attack, and the prince had to give an order to keep the mourning secret for the time being." Liu Cheng sighed, "Now the only people who know about this matter are a few high-ranking generals in the army, even the prefect of Shanzhou, Ma Yuan has not yet learned about it." ”

Wang Ji nodded lightly. It turned out that Ah Che had successfully returned to Northern Xinjiang, but Tang Guogong died suddenly, and his mood must have been very heavy.

When the epidemic broke out, the barbarians took advantage of the fire to rob again, and the safety of the northern Xinjiang, the lives of 200,000 soldiers, and the long-cherished wishes of several generations of the Li family were all pressed on his shoulders. He has just experienced the pain of losing his father, but can he still persevere?

"Has Doctor Zhang also come to Northern Xinjiang?" Wang Jiqing immediately thought of another thing, "Can he leave people to prevent the epidemic in Shanzhou?" ”

"Hmm." Although Liu Cheng didn't know why the young lady came to Northern Xinjiang, when he entered the city just now, he could still smell the smell of medicinal herbs emanating from the back of the horse. "Doctor Zhang came with Shiziye, he left two disciples in Shanzhou, and then followed Shiziye to Qizhou."

Oh? The senior brother left someone in Shanzhou, so why didn't he see a trace of defense in Shanzhou City when he entered the city just now.

"Where are those two doctors?" Wang Ji frowned lightly.

"Returning to Miss Liu's words," Liu Cheng's face was also a little sad, "On the day that Doctor Zhang and the others arrived, there were people in Shanzhou City who were infected with the epidemic, and Governor Ma was afraid that the epidemic would spread, so he ordered those who had malaria to be sent to a Zhuangzi outside the city. ”

"Dr. Qian and Dr. Ding, who came with Dr. Zhang, are also living in the village outside the city with some local doctors to take care of those malaria patients."

"Qian Lin and Ding Yin?" Wang Ji raised his head lightly, the two of them had learned good medical skills, but they still had some experience in prevention and treatment. At this time, the city should have plenty of lime and spirits.

"Yes, these are the two doctors." Liu Cheng was shocked, "Miss Six, how do you recognize me?" ”

"Brother Liu, you don't know yet." Ding Erniu saw that the young lady was pondering, so he took over the conversation, "Then there is a medical clinic in the capital that was opened by our sixth young lady." ”

"Ah, the Divine Doctor Fairy........" Liu Cheng stood up in surprise, "But, it's ........"

Ding Erniu looked in the direction of the young lady, nodded, made a secret gesture, and smiled silently.

"This is great, our soldiers and civilians in northern Xinjiang can be saved now." Liu Cheng clenched his fist excitedly and smashed it into his palm.

No wonder Miss brought so many medicinal herbs here, it turned out that Miss was the miracle doctor fairy who had a severed limb and then continued her magic skills.

"Is there any news from Beijing?" Wang Jiqing thought about the prevention and control for a while, and then put it down. In the past ten days, she has been on the road, and she doesn't know what the situation is in the capital now.

"The situation in the DPRK is completely chaotic." Miss Liu Cheng saw that Miss asked about the matter in Beijing, and suddenly his mood became low again.

"Although the crown prince ascended the throne and became the emperor, because Emperor Qing still stayed in the palace on the outskirts of Beijing, many of the ministers who stayed in the city were not satisfied, and now with the spread of malaria, there are already many rich people in Beijing who plan to secretly move south."

"In order to control the situation as soon as possible, the new emperor took down the officials of the family faction headed by Chen Ge Lao in Beijing with a thunderous momentum, vigorously supported the officials of the royalist party, and temporarily controlled the situation in the capital on the bright side."

"It's even more chaotic on King Xin's side on the outskirts of Beijing. Now King Xin has led 20,000 Praetorian Guards in the palace and 30,000 soldiers of the Xishan battalion led by Prince Xing, and they are facing off. ”

"It's just a small palace on the outskirts of Beijing, and it's been half a month, and it hasn't been captured yet?" Wang Ji was puzzled, the Xishan battalion was far superior to the Praetorian Guards in terms of number and strength.

"Hmm." Liu Cheng nodded, "Although Emperor Qing is so sick that he can't speak, he hasn't died yet. King Xin asked Emperor Qing to go to the palace gate every day, so that Yuwen Leopard outside the palace did not dare to act rashly. ”

Wang Ji nodded lightly. It's no wonder, as long as Emperor Qing is alive for a day, who would dare to risk the world's condemnation and attack the palace with a handsome army? That is a real rebellion, even if Yuwen Leopard is Emperor Qing's younger brother, he will not dare to do it.

Forget it, the affairs of the capital, let go for the time being, and wait until I see Ah Che. The most important thing now is to control the malaria first. (To be continued.) )
