Chapter 283: Lockdown (2)

Emperor Mo closed the fold, not angry and arrogant: "As of last night, half of the people in the capital have been infected with the plague, if the city is not closed to control the epidemic, will the sick people be allowed to walk around!" ”

Half of the people!

The old minister who asked almost couldn't close his mouth.

In just one day, half of the people in the capital were infected with the plague, isn't that... Wouldn't it take less than two days for the entire capital to become a plague city?!

The civil and military officials in the main hall, everyone was there like a statue, motionless. A wave of despair grew in their hearts.

Xuanyuan Xian glanced around silently, and was surprised in his heart: the epidemic has been so strict, why is there nothing wrong in his house?

……

Liu Heng returned to the Praetorian Guard barracks, and the 5,000 soldiers were already lined up on the training ground, ready to set off at any time. Liu Heng stood on the stage of the exercise, inspected the soldiers below, and said: "Every hundred people are a team, the first to thirty-seventh teams are responsible for the twenty-seventh lane of ten streets, the thirty-eighth to forty-eighth teams are responsible for the villages on the outskirts of Beijing, and the remaining two teams go to the city gate to assist the soldiers guarding the city to seal the city, do you understand!?" ”

"Yes, Chief!"

The soldiers below shouted, and their voices soared into the sky, deafening.

"Action!"

As soon as Liu Heng's voice fell, the soldiers below acted in an orderly manner, and soon disappeared from the training ground.

Half an hour later, the 27th Lane of the 10th Street in the capital was surrounded by the Praetorian Guards almost instantly.

The swiftness of the action made the people in Beijing have not even figured out what is going on, and they have been guarded by the Praetorian Guards and detained at home.

"The emperor has ordered that if the people in Beijing have nothing important, they should not go out." For a time, the streets in the capital were empty, and even the shops on Xuanwu Street were closed.

As for those restaurants and inns, they are naturally guarded by the Praetorian Guards, and no matter what kind of people live inside, they are not allowed to go out.

The gates of the capital were also closed after the arrival of the Praetorian Guards, and the entire city was completely sealed within an hour.

Chu Yueqing had breakfast, and when he led Mo Zhi and Mo Lian to go out, he found a circle of soldiers around King Hao's mansion. As soon as she stepped out of the gate of King Hao's mansion, a man who looked like a general walked up to her and stopped her.

"Princess Hao, the last general Liu Qing, is the centurion of the Praetorian Guard. The emperor has ordered that no one is allowed to go out, Princess Hao, please go back. As he spoke, Liu Qing held a sword in one hand and made a gesture of please with the other.

Chu Yueqing was stunned, and his head was a little dazed for a while: "Why can't you go out, this is a grounding?" ”

Liu Qing explained: "Princess Hao is too worried. It is the recent spread of the epidemic in Beijing, in order to prevent you from being infected, so please stay in the palace of King Hao. ”

Infected? Chu Yueqing frowned slightly, this person reminded her, although she didn't think that this disease was like a plague, but she couldn't know if this disease would be contagious?

"Is it because the people in Beijing are all detained at home and can't go out?" Chu Yueqing asked.

"Exactly." Liu Qingdao.

"What about the doctors in the hospital, they can't go home either?"

"People who are not sick are confined to their homes. Sick people are locked down in shantytowns, and doctors who treat them are not allowed to leave until the epidemic has passed. Liu Qing replied one by one.

Chu Yueqing nodded and said with a smile: "Thank you General Liu for clarifying your doubts, since this is the case, this princess will not hinder General Li from performing official duties." ”

After saying that, Chu Yueqing turned around and led Mo Zhi and Mo Lian back to Zhuxin Courtyard.

Mo Lian endured all the way, and finally couldn't help it when she arrived at Zhuxinyuan. said angrily: "I don't know if what the soldier said is true or not, when the slave came back from the teahouse yesterday, I didn't think that the epidemic was as strict as he said!" ”

Mo Weaving looked worried: "Princess, what can I do about this, the master and the master must still be in the Chengbei Medical Hall." There is also Xiaodong, Xiao Xun is in Qingluo Town, there are only a few maids in her house, and there are no two people who can speak. He detained her at home and prevented her from going out. According to her temperament, will there be a mess? ”

"No, it won't." Chu Yueqing said: "Although Xiao Dong acts rashly, he is not impulsive. In this case, she will definitely calm down for the sake of the child in her belly. ”

However, Chu Yueqing has other concerns.

Her anxious gaze fell out of the window, the weather gradually sank, blowing gusts of dry wind, dark clouds obscuring most of the sun, as if to tell people that the wind and rain were coming.

It didn't take long for the thunder to roar in the sky, the wind raged in the air, and the white light split on the gloomy sky, but it could not disperse the thick dark clouds.

In a moment, large raindrops fell to the ground, composing an intense symphony.

Dark clouds and torrential rain were overwhelming, and although it was noon, it looked more like night.

Chu Yueqing leaned in front of the window, watched the gradually expanding rain outside, and ordered Mo Lian to go to the wardrobe to get the clothes that Master gave her.

With a long body and a jade body, the green silk is being pulled, and after Chu Yueqing changes into clothes, it makes her look more heroic. She put on another silver-gray cloak. The large hat on the cloak was worn on her head, covering almost half of her face, revealing only the small tip of her nose and her full lips.

"Princess, are you going out?" Mo Lian looked at the heroic Chu Yueqing and couldn't help but be stunned. Her princess seems to be getting more and more imposing!

"Hmm." Chu Leqing responded lightly: "I have some things to do." ”

"However, there are Janissaries guarding the door, and they will definitely not let us out." Molian stopped.

"I know, so I didn't plan to go out through the main entrance." Chu Yue Qingdao.

Hearing this, Mo Weaving and Mo Lian were stunned. Is the princess going to climb over the wall?

Meeting their suspicious eyes, Chu Yueqing coughed slightly and said, "What kind of expression do you have?" It's still very simple for me, right? ”

"But, Princess... Slaves and Moori can't do it! "Mo Lian was almost crying, she knew that their princess would go out over the wall one day, and she and Mo Zhi should have learned two tricks from Granny Yu in the first place. Don't say anything else, at least learn to climb over the wall!

"I know you won't, so stay at home and wait for me to come back." Chu Yueqing nodded, and said with a look of course.

"No, princess," Mo Zhi said hurriedly: "At this time, it must not be, if something happens to you outside, how can Mo Lian and I explain to the prince!" ”

Chu Yueqing patted Mozhi's shoulder: "Don't worry, believe me." After Master left, I was not lazy, and ordinary people were not my opponents. ”

"Princess, it's not a matter of whether the slave or maid doesn't believe you." Mo Lian raised her face and glared at her: "There are Praetorian Guards guarding outside, there must be no one on the street, you just go out like this is too eye-catching, it is estimated that you have not even reached the place you want to go, you were arrested by the Praetorian Guards!" ”
