Chapter 213: The Plague
"Your Majesty, since the road ahead has been blocked by falling rocks, why don't we take a good rest in this town first, and then set off when the road ahead is stable."
Even if Li Qianxun wanted to leave, she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to leave for the time being, so she could only nod helplessly.
A group of people waited to go back to the inn, but in the past few days, Ying Jingchu has never come to find him again.
Two days later, the rockfall was disposed of, which meant that the group was ready to hit the road. However, Li Qianxun still did not leave this town.
Just in front of this town, there was a plague in a very small village, and they were all on the official road this way, and at this time, because of the outbreak of the plague, the entire official road had to be isolated by everyone, and even restricted Li Qianxun's progress.
"Plague? Why haven't you heard of it a few days ago? ”
"Your Majesty, this plague also broke out suddenly, and my subordinates went down to inquire about it, and it seems that it was because they drank the water here that caused the plague to break out. For the sake of safety, Your Majesty, I'm afraid we can't move forward again......" Although Shen Haofeng spoke calmly, he was hanging in the balance, he always felt that Li Qianxun might rush into the epidemic area.
However, how could someone like him not protect the emperor's safety?
People still can't fight the disease, let alone the epidemic that has been sealed off the official road after only two days? This risk is too great, and Shen Haofeng must put an end to all the thoughts of "helping others" that Li Qianxun might think of as soon as possible.
"Oh?" Li Qianxun sneered: "Take me to see?" ”
Shen Haofeng froze in place, not daring to move.
"Your Majesty, you still put yourself first."
"You think I'm going to go into the village? What I'm saying is, take me to see the water they drink. Li Qianxun rolled her eyes, and then patted Shen Haofeng's chest: "Don't talk nonsense, lead the way, after all, human life is at stake." ”
So, Li Qianxun took Shen Haofeng and Jin Ling to the so-called water source that would cause the plague. That is, a somewhat large river next to it that was blocked by rockfalls.
Li Qianxun only glanced at it, and directly knew that this was definitely not a problem with the water source. Although the river is not particularly wide, it is quite long, and there is almost no edge to the upper and lower streams. Poisoning a place like this to cause a plague is unlikely to affect an entire village.
Li Qianxun called Shen Haofeng: "You go and check if anyone went to that village a few days ago." ”
"Your Majesty?" Shen Haofeng was a little incredulous, in this situation, whoever went to that village would be sent to death, and who might go?
"Go and ask the people who are guarding the official road."
"Yes, my subordinates obey."
Shen Haofeng went to investigate, and Li Qianxun told the people around him that he wanted to take a walk and see if there were any clues. If the matter here can be dealt with as soon as possible, they can also return to the country of Li as soon as possible.
She walked alone by the river for a while, and sure enough, it didn't take long for Ying Jingchu to come.
"I can't continue to move forward and return to Li Guo in the past few days, did you secretly do something?"
Ying Jingchu just wanted to speak, but saw Li Qianxun's brows slightly raised, her expression was not the anger she had been in the past few days, but a little bleak, for some reason, he felt that she was a little hurt when he looked at her at this time.
The thought startled him, but he couldn't find the slightest reason to refute it.
"I was still worried about you, I thought about it, it was really bad for me to come to Yan Kingdom alone and not bring you here. But I didn't expect you to make yourself a masked man...... You have too many secrets to hide from me anyway, or rather, you approached me from the beginning to take advantage of me. I should have thought that you are such a person, so you went so far as to spare my life in order to prevent me from returning to the country of Li? And then what? If you trap me in Yan Kingdom, you can take Li Kingdom and make it your bag, right? Ying Zichu, oh no, it should be Ying Jingchu, I tell you, don't even think about it! ”
After she finished speaking, she was about to turn around and leave, but Ying Jingchu pulled her back and hugged her tightly in his arms: "No, you have never heard my explanation." I want this world, I want the country of Li, purely for ......"
"I don't bother to listen to a liar's explanation." Li Qianxun sneered.
She stretched out her hand and pushed, but she couldn't push Ying Jingchu away.
So, she stomped her foot vigorously and stepped on Ying Jingchu's shoes in a daze. It should have hurt, but he didn't want to let go.
If he lets go, I'm afraid that he will never be able to give him a chance to explain calmly in the future.
"Let it go!"
"I won't let go!"
"Ying Jingchu, don't force me to fight with you!" Li Qianxun narrowed his eyes: "Believe it or not, I will raise troops to attack the Qin State when I turn around!" If you want the kingdom of Li, you can see the real trick on the battlefield with me! If you can't even eat the Li Kingdom, then I will accept your Qin Kingdom! ”
Her heartfelt words were completely regarded as child's play by Ying Jingchu, he was stunned for a moment, and then asked helplessly: "Is this really the case?" ”
"I'm sure!"
She was sure that she would definitely attack the Qin State with a ruthless heart! She was sure that she would make him regret what he had done!
In the end, Ying Jingchu still can't do anything about her......
Li Qianxun turned to leave, and Ying Jingchu stood in place, not moving for a long time.
When Shen Haofeng came back, it was already the middle of the night, this kind of thing was not easy to investigate, first of all, the situation in the epidemic area was very serious, and secondly, these guards were also rigorous, for fear that they would also be infected with the epidemic. Therefore, when Shen Haofeng went to investigate, he still did a lot of dotting.
"Your Majesty, the lowly post has already found out the news."
"You just say it." Li Qianxun was obviously not in the mood, and her mind was still echoing with the events of the afternoon. In fact, the attack on Qin State and the like were all angry words she said, but she also understood that she couldn't go back as soon as she said it. However, after thinking about it carefully, he didn't seem to say when he was going to attack the Qin State, and this matter could naturally be delayed.
Although the terrain of Li is excellent, easy to defend and difficult to attack, if she takes the lead in attacking Qin, it is very likely that she will give Northern Qi and Southern Chu too much advantage to take advantage of, especially this recruitment ceremony, as long as it becomes the concubine of Yan Chengcheng, then it is equivalent to having the power of the two countries - although the power of Yan cannot be taken for herself, it can always be sent to support, right?
When he came back to his senses, Shen Haofeng had already told the story of what he had investigated: "Actually, this plague came strangely, when I was inquiring in the neighborhood before I was lowly served, I heard that two days ago, on the night of the falling rock, two outsiders entered the village and were warmly welcomed by the villagers in the village, but I didn't expect that the plague came out mysteriously that night. And strangely enough, no one who has the plague will live more than twelve hours. ”
"What about the two outsiders?"
"It's gone." Shen Haofeng shook his head: "I heard that it is the master and servant. ”
Master and servant? Isn't that Ying Jingchu and Amer?
