Chapter 53: The Demon of the Imperial City

When he arrived in Qiudu, he was frightened by the wailing of the city before entering the city gate.

Jiu'er said to me: "Nanshan, is this what Xiang Jiang said about Qiu Du." ”

I nodded, and as the few of us stepped into the city, Junyue stopped us and said, "Wait." ”

She smelled something strange in the city and said, "How can this howl have a sense of déjà vu?"

"Like, the plague!"

"Plague!"

We all spoke in unison, I didn't know that this Qiu Du had already done this, we neatly put on gauze and walked into the city, and everywhere we saw weak people, and many sick people lying in the corners of the city walls.

They were all yellow-skinned and thin, and they had not gone far before they saw people vomiting in the desolate streets.

Jun Yue hurried away, Dong Yangzhuo shouted: "Jun Yue!"

Jun Yue didn't answer him, took the hand of the unconscious man, and looked over and over.

Jun Yue said: "This person has bruises on his skin, and I'm afraid he is not the only one." ”

Jiu'er ran, I wanted to say something and stopped, Jiu'er touched a person on the ground and probed the pulse: "This, it seems that there is no plague, he has not eaten for many days, and he faints from hunger......"

Hearing this, our hearts tightened, the country is like this, how does the emperor sit on the throne with peace of mind.

Jiu'er hurriedly ran to the car to get some water and dry food.

I squinted slightly at the side of the stall, at the foot of the house, under the city wall, the skinny and dying people, and my heart was inexplicably angry.

There are many hungry people in the city, most of them are also plague people, Dong Yangzhuo said: "Big brother, I will go to the surrounding cities to see if it has spread." ”

Gongye nodded, I let go of Gongye's hand, walked to the side of a person to check the pulse, and was shocked by the plague they were infected with: "Junyue, you take a look at the pulse, what's abnormal?"

Jun Yue frowned and opened the man's hand to diagnose the pulse, half ringing, only to see Jun Yue frowning, his brows wrinkled deeper and deeper, I said: "I have the symptoms of plague, but the pulse is stable, just like ordinary people." ”

Jun Yue looked at the unconscious man in front of him: "But that's the case." ”

Gongye walked over, squatted down to check the pulse, he cast an immortal technique, I could see the blue light along the person's shoulder to the chest, through the outer layer, I saw their hearts come out, there was a black mist tightly wrapped.

He and Gongye glanced at each other, and Jun Yue said, "Do you know what is wrong?"

I said, "It's very poisonous, they're poisoned." ”

Jun Yue: "If you are poisoned, then ......"

Before Jun Yue finished speaking, Dong Yangzhuo flew over with a dark and solemn color and shouted loudly: "Big brother, this, this, the speed of spread is beyond imagination, almost every city is." ”

Jun Yue was puzzled: "Every city is, isn't it only Qiu Du?"

Dong Yangzhuo said: "Why am I lying to you!"

Jun Yue couldn't help muttering: "If it's poisoning, who is it, it can't harm every city by itself, could it be that it is an organization, if it is an organization, why hasn't the emperor found out ...... today?"

I said: "I have some eyebrows about this matter, don't drive the carriage, Junyue, you and Jiu'er, Duan Yu stay, and the three of us will ride to the imperial city to have a look." ”

Jun Yue showed a trace of worry on her face, but she was relieved to leave it to me and nodded.

We hurried to the Imperial City, and to our surprise, the capital surrounded by the Imperial City was full of life, and there was no such thing as the tragic situation we had seen when we arrived.

I jumped down lightly, pulled my horse to the city gate, and looked up, there were many iron men standing on the city wall, they were all in armor, with swords at their waists, and under the city wall, they were all the best soldiers in battle armor, almost heavily guarded.

The red wall lost its dazzling red, and from a distance, the imperial city seemed to be entangled by the black clouds of the city, and under the scorching sun, the imperial city looked like a piece of fish scales, and the black armor was shining and dazzling.

Heavily guarded? It seems that there is more than just a high guard.

"Bang!"

"Who's coming!" the three of us led the horses to the city gate, and without speaking, the soldiers guarding the city gate took out their spears and blocked our way.

I thought about it, I had served as a general here, and then retired like Gongye, thinking of this, I looked at Gongye beside me and wondered......

I showed my token: "General Ben is going to the city!"

The two looked at each other, and one said, "General, you can go in, but others are forbidden to enter." ”

Dong Yangzhuo was silent, and I said, "You take the horses back, remember to go to Junyue's residence." ”

Dong Yangzhuo said: "Sister-in-law, don't worry, go to the city alone, be careful, my eldest brother and I will go back." ”

Dong Yangzhuo led the horse away, Gongye disappeared from the guard's sight with him, Dong Yangzhuo said: "Big brother, can you sneak in." ”

He didn't hear Gongye's voice behind him, he turned around, Gongye had long since disappeared, he stomped his feet anxiously, and he didn't worry about watching me enter the city gate in a secret place.

He didn't know that Gongye was following me invisibly, I looked at Gongye and smiled lightly, the soldiers at the city gate were terrified, and I couldn't help but shrug my shoulders.

As I entered the city, I heard the soldiers whispering.

"Alas, the general has returned, is there any reason for this war to stop?

"The people are bitter, and we are even more bitter! I really don't know if the soldiers we left behind to defend the imperial city will go to war. ”

"I'm afraid that there will be a strong invasion and collapse with one blow, and it will take so many territories to do so. ”

I think the people's hearts and the army's hearts are unstable, and I have met with the current emperor in the past and said something, he should not be such a king, I think that the people who are infected with the plague may be controlled by someone behind the scenes.

Gongye said: "Shan'er, is the enchantment of the demon world out of control?" ”

I nodded, thinking that this year was an eventful year, whether it was the demon world, the human world, or the heavenly court, there was a great chaos.

"What do you mean by this! Alas, the emperor hasn't been to the court for a few days, and this mountain of twists and turns has not been approved, alas, ......."

We were greeted by the distressed civil and military officials, all of whom had lost the appearance of the court, and one of them asked: "Prime Minister, you go to meet the emperor, what does the emperor say?"

The prime minister shook his head helplessly, and the hundred officials followed him, hoping to get a hint of results, but the prime minister still shook his head and walked a few steps weightlessly, unable to take off the official hat on his head, and looked up at the sky: "No result, no result, no result!"

"O God, what is the point of making the people suffer as a parent official!"

"Alas!" the prime minister left in confusion with his hat around his hat, and the civil official wearing the three-grade official said: "The prime minister has met the emperor dozens of times, and the emperor felt irritable and sent his father-in-law to guard him, he came many days ago, and his father-in-law said that the emperor was unwell and was gone." ”

"Mo is not ......"

"Alas, the emperor said that he was unwell, but whoever went to the harem listened to the emperor playing with his concubines!

"Alas, now the princes are ready to move, alas, if ......"

"Shh......h

"Don't say it, don't say it, talk about the royal family is going to cut off the head......"

"Well, how is that a good ......"

"If you don't change it, it's bad, and if you change it, the future of the country is uncertain......"

Apart from sighing, the civil and military officials had nothing to say.

I clenched my fists, and my heart was foul, which demon was it.

I quickened my pace and went to the harem, and if I was asked to find it, I would pinch it to death.

Gongye said: "Shan'er." ”

"Hmm. I answered him, and he said, "Not happy?"

I said, "No, I'm a little angry. ”

Gongye said: "Shan'er has grown up. ”

I was stunned, why did he say this, and the matter in front of me could not be delayed, I didn't think much about it, and later I realized that when I was a general, the enemy in front of me was actually the person in front of me......
