Before nightfall, Qing Li and his party finally arrived outside the city gate of Chuzhou.

It is a quaint town located in the northwest, far from Kyoto, bordering grasslands, so the people here are more bold and cheerful than Kyoto's, and the people are friendly and welcoming, and they should be prosperous.

But now what catches your eye is a closed city gate, mottled with red lacquer dots, in front of the spacious city gate, there is no figure, only vaguely can see the blood that has been cleaned on the ground, desolate and desolate.

There was a faint mournful wail in the city, and the voices of men, women, and children were mixed together, reaching straight into the sky, crying blood, and people's noses were inexplicably sour when they heard it. Even if the sun was shining at this time, I felt that there was a north wind whirling by, and even my heart was cold......

"Who's coming?" A loud cry came down from the tower.

Such a black and oppressive crowd has already attracted the attention of the guards guarding the city, Zhizhou ordered the city to be locked, there should be no one passing by, not to mention, this is still a woman in white......

Qing Li glanced up at the guards guarding the city, the afterglow of the setting sun was still dazzling, she couldn't see clearly, she could only vaguely distinguish a few men with white cloths standing at the head of the city with guns.

Liu Jun took a step at this time, and said loudly: "By the will of the Holy Lord, the princess came to treat the epidemic and quickly opened the city gate!" ”

As soon as the loud voice came out, the guards were immediately overjoyed.

This Chuzhou city is really going to become a dead city if it goes down, and they still think that the emperor will give up on them and let them fend for themselves, and they are still in a sad mood. After hearing that the princess was coming, it disappeared in an instant.

Far away, they may not know the name of the princess. But I also know that she is the granddaughter of the medical saint Qingluo, the Qing family has been a doctor for generations, galloping in the medical world, and the princess is just their hope!

"Someone! Open the gates! The general defending the city gave an order, and immediately someone opened the city gate below.

The original mournful cry grew louder and louder, and with a creak, the crack in the door opened little by little. The weeping people inside rushed out despite the guards. Crying and grabbing the ground, he looked frightened, and ran out with all his strength.

"Shoot the arrows!" Another order was given, and a number of bows and arrows were erected from the city gates. Shoot down at those people mercilessly, the arrow is not missing, and one move hits!

The body that rushed forward was stunned for a moment, and blood gushed out of his body. Qing Li looked at the crowd paralyzed on the ground in a daze. I can't forget those desperate and sad eyes.

The people who rushed out in front were all annihilated without exception, and those who spared their lives in the back also stopped in an instant. The wolf bèi and the tears in his eyes seemed to accuse them of their crimes. But in the end, it only turned into silent crying!

"What are you doing here!" Gao Ying's eyes were stung by this scene, and his beautiful eyes were bloodshot and glared at the guards on the castle tower.

The blood that gradually flowed from the ground was gorgeous and treacherous, with the most desolate temperature in the world, and the backs of the people in the cold ground were cold.

They, how can they be so cruel! How innocent are these people......

The defending general did not answer. With just a wave of his hand, someone immediately dragged those fresh corpses into the city.

Qing Li clearly saw that there was an incinerator in the city. One by one, the people who were shot were thrown into the incinerator and left their relatives and friends to weep bitterly, and no one paid attention to them.

Basins of cold water were poured on the ground, washing away the traces of blood, but the smell of blood in the air and the smell of burnt fire from the incinerator all showed Fang Cai's ......

"Vomit ......"

Some of the guards couldn't take it anymore and bent over and retched, and this seemed to have a ripple effect, causing most of them to vomit nausea and vomit.

Qing Li looked coldly at the actions of those people, looking at the hell on earth in front of her with her eyes fixedly, listening to these desperate screams, the shock and fluctuations in her heart were only able to understand her.

Bing Wei reported to Zhizhou, and soon a skinny middle-aged man walked out with a struggling pace, his face full of deep helplessness and sadness.

He lowered his head and saluted Qing Li, "Ying Tianhai, the governor of Chuzhou City, has seen the princess!" ”

Behind him, some people broke free from the guards' clamps, rushed to Ying Tianhai's side, knelt down, and kowtowed vigorously.

"Why? Why kill us? ”

"I'm not sick! Let me out! I didn't get sick......"

"My child is dead! My child is dead, my lord! ”

……

The heart-wrenching accusations appeared on every sad and desperate face, they kowtowed one by one, the gray stone road was dyed a little scarlet, and the blood on the head fell drop by drop, under the blood-red sunset, blooming like Manzhu Sahua, desolate and desolate, the heavens and the earth mourned, and the plants and trees were sad!

The people outside the city listened to their painful wails, like frost swords and snow swords splitting piece by piece, shaking their backs cold, and suppressing them so that their hands and feet were numb, but they ...... Powerless!

Yes, under the epidemic, only by closing the whole city and burning corpses can we stop the spread, and they can't do anything!

……

Qing Li and his entourage were arranged to live in the Zhizhou Mansion. Compared with the ghosts crying and wolf howling outside, the Zhizhou Mansion is much more peaceful, but after all, there is a plague, and the people in the mansion are still listless, and their faces are haggard and emaciated.

All the patients with minor diseases were imprisoned in the ancestral hall, and the doctors of the rejuvenation hall were already doing their best to control it, but they were only delaying as much as possible.

The patient has a high fever and vomiting, but slowly wears out physiological functions and gradually dies of exhaustion.

Qing Li Fangcai has already diagnosed several seriously ill patients, and their pulses are very strange, like typhoid fever, like measles, and a little red skin and yellow bile, as if all kinds of epidemics that have appeared have been mixed together and have a collective outbreak, and the result is already conceivable.

Usually in this case, Qing Li can only try step by step, use all kinds of methods that can be treated, and then judge which way is good through the guò effect, so acupuncture and moxibustion medication, finally tried it again, it was the second half of the night.

When she and the others returned to the Zhizhou Mansion, they were already exhausted. And the Zhizhou Mansion is still brightly lit at this time.

As soon as Ying Tianhai and Mrs. Ying heard the news from their subordinates, they hurriedly walked out and welcomed Qingli in, and said, "The princess has been busy until now. Before eating, the lower officials prepared some coarse tea and light rice to wash the dust for the princess. ”

Tiredness could be seen on the faces of both of them, no matter how hard they forced their faces to smile, the dark green under their eyes and the haggard on their faces could not be hidden, and Qing Li was also keenly aware that their faces were a little sallow. Not the result of a serious illness, more like nutrition is not. Good......

As the two walked into the banquet hall, a table of wine and food was ready. There is no shortage of chicken, duck and fish, but this amount seems to be a little less than usual......

"Now that Chuzhou is plagued, all trade has been cut off. Resources in the city are limited. It really made the princess smile......" Ying Tianhai smiled wryly, and his face was slightly embarrassed.

Qing Li glanced around, and her eyes stayed on the seven or eight-year-old girl who snuggled up to Mrs. Ying.

Thin and weak, her face was full of sleepiness, and like everyone else, her face was sallow, and her original watery and pink face was dull, but what was special was that her eyes were staring at a plate of chicken legs on the table. There was undisguised longing in his eyes, and he swallowed saliva from time to time.

Mrs. Ying noticed that Qing Li was staring at her daughter. Seeing her gaffe at this time, she hurriedly whispered: "Yue'er, don't be rude!" She taught a lesson, but she was also very distressed, so she could only turn her head and sneer: "The little girl Yingyue is not sensible, and the princess is not strange." ”

Qing Li naturally didn't say anything, walked up to her and squatted down, touched her head, and asked with a smile: "Do you want to eat chicken legs?" ”

Ying Yue's eyes instantly sparkled, and she wanted to nod, but when she saw her mother's face, she shrank a little busily, hid behind Mrs. Ying, and said, "No, no, my father and mother said, it's for your guests......" She pursed her mouth, but her eyes were still locked on the chicken legs, with a faint grievance in her eyes.

"Yue'er!" Mrs. Ying called out slightly annoyed, this child is really ...... It's all!

Qing Li sighed in his heart, got up and handed the plate of chicken legs with only a few to Ying Yue, touched her head with a smile, and said, "Yue'er, right?" Eat as much as you want, don't care so much...... "Such a young child, who doesn't understand anything, shouldn't suffer like this......

Ying Yue was stunned, looking at Qing Li's lightly smiling face, and the shallow encouragement in her eyes, it was actually a ghost who sent a god to take one, and seeing that Qing Li had no reaction, she immediately took a big bite, for fear that she would change her mind and not let herself eat.

"Yue'er!" This time, even Ying Tianhai felt rude! He shouldn't have let this girl out!

Ying Yue's body trembled when she heard her father's low roar, and her bite on the chicken leg froze, her eyes immediately moistened slightly, and soon tears fell down.

"The princess, the discipline of the lower officials is not strict, which makes the princess laugh!" Ying Tianhai looked ashamed and arched his hand.

Qing Li patted Ying Yue's thin and thin shoulders soothingly, and said helplessly: "Lord Ying, Ling Ai is still a child, it is the time to grow her body, don't treat her like this......"

If there is any disease at this age due to poor health, it will be difficult to remedy it in the future!

She stood up, sighed and shook her head, "I actually know how scarce resources are in the city now, Lord Ying's reception banquet is probably all squeezed out of the foundation of the Zhizhou Mansion, so it is not what I want to see." ”

Picking up a bowl of rice on the table, Qing Li said with a smile: "This bowl of rice can cook several bowls of porridge, adults and people in the house are afraid that they eat gruel every day, since this is the case, there is no need to give me more preferential treatment, just like you!" "She's not here to enjoy!

Ying Tianhai was taken aback, and immediately arched his hand and said: "Princess, you are a daughter, you must not suffer like this!" "The Qing family's family background is tens of thousands, and the princess should be a person who has not been tired, and he can't neglect others, right?

"Lord Ying......" helplessly held his forehead, why is this person so old-fashioned? In these extraordinary times, I still care about these!

smiled casually, "The supplies distributed by the emperor will arrive in five days at most, if the ammunition is exhausted now, do you want us to drink the northwest wind with you in the future?" ”

"Down, down, ......"

Ying Tianhai was speechless, and Qing Li happened to pick up, "Since the emperor sent me here, he naturally has to solve problems for you, if there is extra trouble, how should I explain?" Didn't Lord Ying want to push me into the fire pit? She said jokingly, to deal with this kind of person, you can only come hard!

"The lower officials are terrified!" Ying Tianhai lowered his head, of course he knew in his heart that the princess was just trying to persuade him by saying this, and she just gave him a step down, but he just ......, "Princess, isn't this too wronged for you?" ”

After all, she is a delicate young lady in Beijing, how can he be happy if she is so tired?

Grievance? Qing Li smiled. Why does everyone treat her as a delicate and weak daughter?

"I don't care, you don't have to take it personally." As she spoke, she turned to the group behind her again and asked with a smile, "How is it?" I want you to endure some hardship, but are you willing? "After all, she can't completely decide what other people do, right?

"I wish to follow the princess!"

The uniform voice was loud and decisive, Qing Li also smiled with satisfaction, and then turned to Ying Tianhai and said, "How?" Do you still have any concerns? ”

"Thank you, princess!" Ying Tianhai was full of excitement. The princess is so transparent and so approachable, which is the luck of Chuzhou! (To be continued......)
