Chapter 390: Ordering the Closure of the City (Part I)
Dongfang Qiu jumped for half an hour before being liberated by the fat man, and the three brothers and sisters of Brother Ming'er were drowsy when they listened. Chenxi had fallen asleep in her eldest brother's arms, and Brother Qi'er and Ming'er gestured to carry Chenxi back to the house.
Now they don't have a little maid with them, only a secret guard in the dark. Naturally, everything was done on its own.
Bai Yi often pretended to look at the past casually when Chenxi showed sleepiness, for fear that Chenxi would fall asleep like this, but fortunately, her two brothers paid attention to her, looking at Chenxi leaning on her brother's arms, Bai Yi turned her head to look at the deserted street outside.
Dongfang Qiu was completely out of strength, he sat down on the chair that Bai Yi was sitting on before, closed his eyes, his face was covered in cold sweat, his feet couldn't help shaking, and he looked very pitiful to be tortured.
Chenxi went back to the house and fell asleep, guarded by a secret guard, and Brother Ming'er and Brother Qi'er were a little relieved. Gently knocked on Master Miao's door.
In the past few days, Master Miao has been guarding Puqu and has never left the room, all in order to set out Puqu's Gu solution method. Now that the method has been set out, will Master Miao keep his promise to let Pu Qu go?
At this time, it was Puqu's comatose time, Puqu had not eaten in the past few days, only a few mouthfuls of water were hanging, and his weight was even more terrifying, almost skinny. Master Miao personally got up and opened the door.
Brother Ming'er shouted Master, and Brother Qi'er shouted Master.
Master Miao nodded, looked at Brother Qi'er and said, "Nothing happened along the way." ”
"Master Xie cares, this journey has been smooth, but I also asked the master to punish you, and the corner of the medicine book you lent to the younger generation was damaged." As soon as Brother Qi'er saw Master Miao, he reflexively remembered the book, and said very guiltily.
Brother Ming'er touched his nose and smiled: "Master, that medicine book was gnawed by the apprentice's Emperor Gu, my eldest brother was angry at the time, if you want to punish me, punish me." ”
Master Miao smiled, these two brothers with the same height and appearance were easy to recognize as soon as they spoke. "That medicine book is not a big deal, I said it was given to you before, and that is your thing."
As soon as Brother Ming'er heard it, he said that his eldest brother was too serious. Hurriedly changed the topic and said, "Master, the three money flowers he said are indeed useful, after boiling them into water and drinking them, the victims will spit out the Gu worms." ”
"It's good to be useful, it's just life and death, don't force it tomorrow, just do your best, save as much as you can." Master Miao was very calm.
Brother Ming'er couldn't do anything but accept it, so he nodded and understood.
"You don't have to worry about the outside affairs, what are your plans after dealing with the affairs in this city?" Master Miao is planning to return to Miao Jiang.
Brother Ming'er didn't go again, and said with a low expression: "My father's whereabouts are still unknown, and after dealing with this place, our three brothers and sisters should go to find their father and mother together." ”
"Well, that's fine." Master Miao's expression made people unable to see joy, anger and sorrow. Before Brother Ming'er could speak, he said again: "The person who sang the song just now was brought by your uncle, let him not come nonsense." ”
Speaking of this stubble, Brother Ming'er couldn't help but smile and said, "Master, the one who sang the song just now was that Dongfang Qiu, the one who was mixed with Puqu." ”
Master Miao: "......"
Brother Ming'er laughed loudly, and Master Miao also smiled, asking them to play and leave him alone.
They didn't bother, walked along the corridor to the staircase and went downstairs, and said hello to Bai Yi, Brother Qi'er breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Ming'er, if your father and mother come back, you won't live in Miaojiang for long, right?" ”
Brother Ming'er kicked the stone under his feet, "Well, where do you think you went, I should have been visiting Master for a year and a half at that time." I won't live in Miaojiang for long, I ...... No, why did you suddenly think of the problem? ”
"Casually asked, have the victims of the Zhong Gu disaster found a solution? What are you going to do with Dongfang Qiu? ”
"Dongfang Qiu will be sent to the government, and as for that Puqu, I will leave it to the master to deal with. I heard that he was going to take Miao Jiang to be punished. Brother Ming'er whispered.
It was a sunny day, and the sun was shining, but of course it couldn't dispel the cold wind.
In this way, they spent a few days leisurely. The victims of the Zhong Gu have also been gradually dealt with, and those who unfortunately died are gathered together and burned. Only a little more than 1,000 people survived.
However, just after the trend of stabilizing, Luoyang City was suddenly surrounded. A soldier wearing a helmet rode a horse with a face scarf covering his face, rushed into the city, and summoned the lord of Luoyang with the Ming and Huang holy decrees in his hand.
The city lord of Luoyang has lost a lot of weight in a short period of time, but he looks very energetic. When I heard the report from the little girl, I hurried to meet him.
The soldier did not dismount, but stood in the street and watched the moaning, moaning, and spiritless victims, whose faces still had a dark color. It looks like he's been poisoned.
Nan Jiawei rushed to him, and knelt down just when he saw the holy decree in the soldier's hand.
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" There was a loud sound of kneeling.
The soldier raised his head and did not open the decree, but announced loudly: "By the order of my emperor!" There is a rare disease in Luoyang, and the imperial physician of the palace is sent to treat it, and before the disease is cured, the people of Luoyang City are not allowed to leave, and they can report to the higher authorities if they have any needs. ”
Nan Jiawei's heart suddenly sudden, and he thought about it carefully, and was shocked, the top wouldn't think it was a plague, right?
He hurriedly explained: "My lord, now that the situation in the city has been brought under control, the surviving people are improving. This lockdown is ......"
"Bold! He even questioned the emperor's decision! I heard that this is a sign of the middle Gu, if it weren't for the emperor's kindness, everyone who touched the Gu should have been burned together! The soldiers on the horse scolded loudly, he was originally a person next to Zuo Xiang, and he was used to speaking and acting arrogantly, he was the biggest in this Luoyang City, who dared to disobey him.
The Nanjia is the lord of a city, and it is true that there is no soldier who rides on a horse and holds a holy decree. Hearing that he was going to take the victims of the Zhong Gu to be burned, he didn't dare to speak even more.
Although he was very unhappy with the fact that the surrounding victims were concentrated in Luoyang City at the beginning, this unhappiness did not implicate these victims and did not ignore them.
Now in the past half a month, he has put most of his energy on these disaster victims, and finally got better, with a complicated feeling, he burned and buried the people who did not survive, but the court came to this experience, if this is really the case, he is afraid that Luoyang City will be destroyed.
At the moment, he didn't need Lao He's persuasion, he automatically put down his body and said: "My lord is reasonable, we must not go out, I don't know where the imperial doctor is?" Just let the doctor diagnose one or two, and the victims here are indeed no big problems. ”
As soon as the soldiers pulled the reins, the tall horses exhaled and snorted, and the Luoyang City Lord's back stiffened, which is too contemptuous!
The soldier said disdainfully: "The imperial doctor is not in good health, and he has just arrived outside the city after a long journey, so he must rest for a day to adjust to the best condition before entering the city to see a doctor, wait." ”
Nan Jiawei thought to himself, whatever is it, he won't go into the city to adjust, you must know that these officials are not the best place in the past, so they don't come! No, they clearly want to lock down the city, and they would rather sleep outside the city than go into the city.
It's not a good situation to go on like this. However, it is not a fake that the disease is under control. These high-ranking officials like to be frozen outside the city. It also happened to save him a lot of money.
"Then bother the adults to say hello to the doctors for the little ones." Nan Jiawei hung his head, he didn't dare to raise his head, and when he looked up, he was accused of contempt for Tianwei! It's so embarrassing for this!
There was no response, only the sound of the horse's hooves turning and kicking away.
It wasn't until he couldn't hear it that Lao He behind Nan Jiawei raised his head carefully, saw the disappearing back, and quickly got up to help the city lord and said, "City lord, my lord is gone." ”
"My lord! What an adult, he's a piece of shit! "Nan Jiawei is very angry." Didn't listen to him? Those who are greedy for life and afraid of death dare not enter the city, forget it, and the city will be closed, are we suffering from the plague or what? Obviously, the emperor still cared for the victims when he was there, why did he change the palace in a blink of an eye? ”
His angry beard shook and trembled, and the frightened old man wanted to take off his shoes and stuff them into the mouth of the city lord to prevent him from speaking, if this was discovered by the lord just now, it would be terrible. Lose your head!
"City Lord, it's useless for us to be angry now, let's think about how to speak in front of the imperial doctor, so that they can be sure that this disease is not contagious and is almost cured."
Nan Jiawei had nothing to say, sighed and turned around and left with Lao He to think of countermeasures, "You have to comfort the people in the city, otherwise it will cause panic." ”
"What the city lord said is very true. First of all, comfort the people in the city. You said, is it useful to tell the little prince? Lao He also couldn't think of any good way to hit Brother Ming'er with his idea.
Nan Jiawei pondered for a moment and shook his head and said: "The little prince is not the prince, it is useless to tell the little prince, the adult still has the holy decree in his hand, the little prince still has to kneel down when he sees it, or don't make trouble for the little prince." ”
Lao He nodded his head in a teachable way, thinking left and right that he couldn't think of a second way except to send them silver.
The words of the soldier were heard by many people, and soon the word spread one after another, and many people could not get out of the city gate in order to verify it, and each city gate was guarded by fierce soldiers.
This also reached the ears of the people in the tavern.
As the matter is nearing an end, many shops and stalls have also begun to open their doors. The destroyed houses are also being rebuilt. The streets began to come alive.
It is certainly not unreasonable for the Qianshanmen, a sect of rivers and lakes, to be affected by the people, their disciples have been helping these victims, and only now that they have stabilized they have sent some of their disciples back to the mountain, and the remaining half are still in the city to observe.
Brother Ming'er and the others will know about this, and it is also the disciples of this Qianshan Sect who came back to the tavern to tell them. When they knew that the imperial court sent troops to seal the city and not allow people in the city to enter or leave, it was a menacing situation.
The tavern was not open for business, and there were Ming'er and his group and the disciples of Qianshanmen.
On this day, as soon as the disciples of Qianshanmen came back, they stared at Brother Ming'er, with a look of deep hatred, "I heard that you are the son of the prince of Zhongshan in the imperial court!" ”
Brother Ming'er didn't respond vaguely, he thought that his identity had been discovered by Qianshanmen, but he didn't want them to continue: "Since you are the prince, let those soldiers from outside retreat, they are so good that they want to seal the city and not allow us to go out!" This is simply unreasonable. ”
