Chapter 144: Arrive in Jiuling Province!
A month later!
Li Sanqi and Minglian hurried and saw three big characters written on it outside the city wall: "Jiuling Province!"
Li Sanqi touched the sweat on his forehead, sighed and said, "It's been a month, and I finally came to Jiuling Province!
Minglian looked at the devastated road, littered with discarded garbage, emitting a foul smell! Minglian's face was a little serious, and she said seriously: "I'm afraid the situation is not optimistic!"
"Hey!" Li Sanqi sighed deeply and said, "Let's go in!"
The two walked in side by side, there was only an old table and a few discarded chairs outside the city wall, and there were no guards stationed at the city gate, charging the fee for entering Jiuling Province!
Li Sanqi looked around, the shops and hotels on both sides of the road had been closed, and the flags soliciting guests outside the door had been dusted on them, hanging heavily on the ground, and they could no longer see their original appearance!
There was no clear water flowing in the water ditches on both sides, but it was covered with silt, and on top of the mud were all kinds of rotten food, and shabby clothes everywhere! The food and clothes were surrounded by a swarm of flies, and from a distance, small black balls the size of a bathtub made a buzzing sound, which was extremely harsh!
When I walked inside, I saw that the houses on both sides were ten rooms and nine empty. Most of the houses collapsed, dilapidated, and no longer had any life! After walking for most of the day, I didn't see a single figure at all!
Li Sanqi looked at such a bleak scenery, completely devoid of the prosperity of the past, sighed deeply, and said with some sadness: "This is already the most prosperous city in Jiuning Province, but now it is such a scene." As you can imagine, the rest of the cities may not be optimistic!"
"Yes!" Minglian's tone was also very sad, her eyes were a little red, and she replied very lowly!
"Let's go, let's hurry up and take a look at the Jiuning Provincial Governor's Mansion!" Li Sanqi is now desperate to stabilize this place!
The two of them rushed in the direction of the Governor's Mansion quickly!
Li Sanqi stopped in front of a luxurious and imposing house, and looked up and hung in the middle of the gate with the words "Governor's Mansion!" written in gilded characters.
Li Sanqi looked at the door as usual, and there were still a few guards guarding the door!
"Let's go in!" Li Sanqi said to Ming Lian! The two of them stepped on the steps and were about to enter the Overseer's Mansion, but they were stopped by the guards guarding them! The guard's face was like ice, his eyes were a little wary, and he said in a very cold tone: "Who are you? Why do you dare to trespass into the Overseer's Mansion, don't you know that this is a special period, don't go out?"
Li Sanqi looked at the competent guards on duty, and smiled kindly at them! He slowly took out a token made of gold from the ring, and saw that the token was surrounded by a five-clawed golden dragon, with four big characters written on one side and "West XXVI" written on the other!
This is what Li Sanqi handed to himself before leaving, and said: "As long as those places are still in the hands of the empire, when they see this token, it will be like seeing me! You can rest assured, play with your big hands!"
I saw that after the guard saw this token, his face was shocked, the cold sweat on his forehead kept coming out, his legs kept swinging, and his body couldn't stop shaking!
Puff! Puff!
After a few pops, the guards knelt on their legs in fear, and Qi Qi said slightly: "Minion, meet my emperor, may my emperor live long live, long live, long live! Minion, meet the commander! The commander has worked hard all the way!"
Several of the guards now have words of suffering, and their faces are extremely ugly! Isn't this commander harming people? If you take out this token earlier, you will enter it earlier, why bother with this, and you will suffer all the crimes! Although several guards thought this in their hearts, they did not dare to say it, so they had to keep kowtowing and admitting their mistakes!
Li Sanqi looked at the reactions of several guards and felt very satisfied! He put away the token with a smile, and then bent down and smiled at several guards: "Everyone, I can go in now!"
"Yes, yes, yes!" several guards nodded in response!
Hahaha!
Li Sanqi laughed heartily and strode in, ignoring the guards kneeling on the ground! Minglian looked at Li Sanqi like this, laughed speechlessly, and said to the few guards who were still kneeling on the ground: "Get up!"
As soon as she entered, she saw Li Sanqi stop and didn't move on!
Minglian came to his side, looked at him with a heavy face, his eyes were fixed on the distance, and asked with some curiosity: "What's wrong, did you take the wrong medicine?"
Li Sanqi took a deep breath and said heavily: "Feel it yourself!"
Although I didn't understand why Li Sanqi said this, Minglian still did it! Minglian's eyes were tightly closed, and her consciousness was released. Minglian slowly opened her eyes, her eyes were complicated, and her tone was inexplicable, and she slowly spit out: "This breath will not be ......."
Before he finished speaking, Li San covered his mouth and signaled him not to say it!
Li Sanqi saw that Minglian had stopped talking, put his hand down, his face was hideous, and he said with some hatred in his mouth: "If it is true, I have decided to raze this governor's mansion to the ground at all costs!"
"What kind of person, standing here?" Suddenly, a loud shout came from the front, interrupting the conversation between Li Sanqi and Minglian!
Li Sanqi looked up and saw three people walking in front of him! He looked like he was about forty years old in the middle, with a strong figure, a Chinese face, and a pair of big eyes that were not angry and arrogant, so that people did not dare to look at him.
The one on the right was wearing a pair of butler's clothes, and he fell half a step behind the two of them, looking respectful, and slowly followed behind the two!
There is a person on the left, gorgeously dressed, some of them are bent at the waist, they have a goatee, their hands are caressing it from time to time, and a pair of small and narrow eyes reveal a hint of shrewdness!
At this moment when Li Sanqi looked at it, the three of them were already more than a foot away from Li Sanqi! Li Sanqi looked at the three of them, showed a disdainful smile, took out the token again, and sneered: "I think Lord Ning, you should know this thing!"
After Lord Ning looked at this token, his face changed several times, and the corners of his eyes twitched slightly. In the end, Lord Ling knelt on the ground and said respectfully: "Minister, meet my emperor, may my emperor live long live!"
When the two people around Lord Ning saw Lord Ning kneeling on the ground, they also quickly knelt on the ground, and said with sincere fear: "Minion, meet my emperor, may my emperor live long live long live!"
Li Sanqi took the token back, looked at the three people kneeling on the ground, and sneered: "Lord Ning, you guys get up!"
After Lord Ning stood up, he hugged his fists and said to Li Sanqi: "I don't know, the commander will arrive in Jiuling Province today, why didn't you inform me earlier, so that I can pick up the wind and wash the dust for the commander!"
Lord Ning turned his head and said, "Ning Gao, hurry up and prepare for the dinner, I want to catch the wind for the commander!"
"Yes!" Ning Gao replied and walked down!
Li Sanqi raised his hand and said, "No need, there are not so many rules in special periods!"
"Hmph!" the man on the left sneered and said disdainfully: "The commander doesn't say it sooner or later, he has to wait for the butler to go down!"
Before Li Sanqi could speak, Lord Ning scolded loudly: "Wang Long, you are too presumptuous, and you still don't apologize to the commander!"
Wang Lung saw Lord Ning getting angry, pretended to raise his hand, hugged his fist at Li Sanqi, and said without the slightest apology, "I'm sorry, commander, it was the slave who said the wrong thing just now!" After speaking, he put his hand down and ignored Li Sanqi at all!
Li Sanqi sneered when he saw Wang Lung like this, and didn't say a few more words! He also knew that he had suddenly parachuted in, and Lord Ning, the lord of a province, must be uncomfortable! To put it mildly, what Lord Ning said in Jiuling Province was more effective than what West Twenty-sixth said!
Li Sanqi didn't dwell too much on this matter, and said, "Lord Ning, I'm new here, and I want to ask you some information, so it's okay! After all, we are all working for the twenty-sixth West!"
"Yes! Please inside!" Lord Ning saw that Li Sanqi did not dwell on this matter, and he was silently relieved in his heart, and glanced at Wang Lung imperceptibly. Subsequently. Hurriedly greeted Li Sanqi and Minglian inside!
Wang Lung stood behind, looked at Li Sanqi and the two, showed a fierce gaze, snorted coldly, and walked in!
Li Sanqi walked into the hall with Lord Ning and sat down in a priority!
Lord Ning looked at Li Sanqi, who was already sitting on his seat, and said: "Now, most of the nine rooms in Jiu Ning Province are ten rooms and nine empty, and there are hardly many people left! And the emperor's order came a month ago! Now everyone is isolated! There is basically no one in the city anymore!"
When I heard what Lord Ning said, my heart was slightly relieved! In this way, I could reduce the reinfection to a great extent!
Li Sanqi asked, "What about those who are infected?"
When Lord Ning heard Li Sanqi ask himself like this, he sighed deeply, his face was a little sad, his eyes were a little red, his tone became heavy, and he muttered: "These infected people, once they are found out too late, whether it is drug assistance or Xuanqi rescue, there is no cure at all, and they will watch him die alive!"
"What!" The teacup in Li Sanqi's hand almost fell to the ground! After Li Sanqi stabilized his mind, he asked, "Isn't it okay to have all of them?"
"No!" Lady Lemon shook her head and said, "No matter what you do, it just won't work." I can only watch them die!"
"Where are all these people buried?" Li Sanqi didn't expect that Jiuning Province was so serious, and it was unimaginable!
Lord Ning took a sip of tea and said, "It's in the barren mountains thirty miles away from the city gate, where there are sparsely populated, and where it is buried, it's very safe!"
Li Sanqi put away the heavy heart in his heart and said, "Can you take me over to have a look?"
"No!" Before Lord Ning could speak, Wang Lung had already jumped out, screamed, and shouted to stop him!
Li Sanqi glanced at Wang Lung and sneered: "Wang Lung, how about I bring 100,000 troops to your house to garrison and protect your family!"
"This?" Wang Long's cold sweat broke out, he kept wiping the cold sweat with his hands, and said with a dry smile: "Commander, you misunderstood, I mean, where the environment is too bad, smoky miasma, stinky sky! I'm afraid you can't stand it!"
Li Sanqi stood up, stared at Wang Long with his eyes, and sneered: "I think I'll get the army over tomorrow, you can see it!"
"Okay! I approve with both hands!" The cold sweat on Wang Lung's forehead became even more!
"In that case, let's go!" Lord Ning looked at Wang Lung's unusual behavior, a little puzzled. Then, nod in response!
Li Sanqi snickered at Minglian!
