Nangong Mo sat in the room in the backyard of the inn, a little stunned while listening to the room's instructions. Last night, Wei Junmo and the Song Gongzi left for Luoyang Mountain, and the people from Zixiao Hall arrived early this morning. Nowadays, there are not many people staying in this town, and the string song boy is extremely prescient to charter the entire inn. Now the entire inn is inhabited by people from Zixiao Palace, although it is easy to expose Wei Junmo's secret identity, but now at this time, he can't take care of so much. In case the plague can't be controlled or Xiao Qianye is dizzy and wants to do something that shouldn't be done, people are needed.

Finding that the room had stopped, Nangong Mo Fang raised his eyes to look at him, thought for a while and asked: So, this town is now under Xiao Qianye's control?

Fang nodded and said, "At least for ordinary people, this town can be regarded as completely isolated now. Of course, these people can't be counted, and the personal soldiers of the Yue County King's fiefdom can't stop these battle-hardened killers in Zixiao Palace. But there are so many of them, they definitely can't hide it if they want to hide it completely, I'm afraid that Xiao Qianye now knows that they are here.

Nangong Mo naturally wouldn't know what Fang could figure out, shook his head and said: It's okay, even if he doesn't know, we have to go to him. What are Xiao Qianye's plans, have you found out?

Fang nodded and said: King Yuejun brought a lot of doctors and medicinal materials over this time, but ......

Nangong Mo raised his eyebrows and looked at him calmly. Fang sighed and said: However, it seems that King Yuejun does not intend to save people, but... The doctors were asked to try to prevent the spread of the plague in the mountains, and his men were trying to figure out how to extinguish the people in the mountains.

In this era, the occurrence of plague is a very terrible thing, so once the government cannot control it, most of the disposal methods are to choose to extinguish it. But... The plague that occurs in a city or village is completely different from that occurs in the mountains. Luoyang Mountain traverses the two states of Lingping, not to mention the countless beasts in the mountains, even they don't know how many living people there are in the mountains and forests. If you want to exterminate all of these, you can't do it without mobilizing an army of more than 100,000 people. It's a pity that Xiao Qianye, as the king of the county, is still possible to transfer a few thousand personal soldiers or one or two hundred thousand soldiers and horses raised by himself privately, and if an army of more than 100,000 can be mobilized by Xiao Qianye like this, he will not be the king of the county for long.

What did they come up with?

Fang Shen said: If they have to do it, they will set fire to the mountain.

Nangong Mo nodded, and asked with some curiosity: It may be okay to set fire to the mountain and deal with the people in that mountain, but there are still many birds and beasts in that mountain, how do they plan to deal with it? And also... The entire Luoyang Mountain stretches for dozens of miles, and now it is winter when the grass and trees are dry, and the wind rises from time to time, if the fire can't be controlled, what should I do?

Fang blinked and didn't speak. The emperor's eldest grandson didn't think about these things, and he didn't know what to do. After hesitating for a moment, Fang Dao: Until the last resort, the emperor's eldest grandson should not do such a thing. After all, once the mountain is set on fire, the imperial court will definitely know. At that time, if King Chengjun and King Anjun find any clues, King Yue will be in big trouble.

Nangong Mo snorted lightly and asked, "What do you think... Can Xiao Qianye control the scene?

Fang hesitated for a long time before slowly spitting out a sub and hanging.

King Yuejun is not in Lingzhou all the year round, can't he do these things alone, and the person who sent someone to investigate the matter of Luoyang Mountain has returned? Nangong Mo asked. Before Fang could answer, Qu Lianxing's voice sounded outside the door, and he came back, the county lord, Qu Lianxing and Liu asked to see him.

In.

Qu Lianxing, who was dressed in white, followed Liu in, and following them around these days, Qu Lianxing was obviously a little emaciated. Everyone in Zixiao Hall is a strong martial artist, but Qu Lianxing is powerless, and it is difficult for her to hold on without saying a word. Even the people of Zixiao Palace, who didn't think much of her, began to look at her differently. Especially Liu, who is not too cumbersome to do anything at ordinary times, is willing to take her with her.

Liu raised his eyebrows and motioned to Qu Lianxing to say. Qu Lianxing smiled faintly and said: "Lord Yu, according to the map drawn by the young man of Xiange, let's check it and find that the location of that vein is actually in Pingzhou, not in Lingzhou. It's just that Luoyang Mountain is too big, and few people enter the nature, and no one has divided which side is Lingzhou and which side is Pingzhou. However, judging from the map alone, it is indeed closer to Pingzhou. It's just that the mountains on the other side of Pingzhou are majestic and rugged, and it is difficult for ordinary people to even want to enter the mountains, let alone a large number of people enter and transport things out. However, the terrain on this side of Lingzhou is flat, and the mountains are relatively easy to walk. In addition, we personally went to check the various roads from Lingzhou to Pingzhou, and some people saw a large number of people transporting things to Lingzhou from the small road every month. Although there are not many things, the chest is very heavy, and we guess it should be gold.

Pingzhou. Nangong Mo raised his eyebrows and asked: Whose fief is Pingzhou?

Qu Lianxing said: It is Xiao Chun, the king of Pingchuan County. He is the younger brother of today's Majesty Xià and the uncle of the emperor's eldest grandson.

Nangong Mo frowned, and there was no such thing as the king of Pingchuan County in his impression. Qu Lianxing said with a smile: The county lord may not know that there were originally three brothers and two sisters today. The two eldest princesses died between the founding of the country, and another brother and a younger brother also died one after another, and the king of Pingchuan is the only living brother today. Reputedly... When the country was founded, the county king wanted the position of prince, but the advisors around His Majesty did not agree, and the county king himself had no ability and no merit, so His Majesty did not agree. In the past ten years, the king of Pingchuan County has been staying in the fiefdom and has never returned to Beijing, even after the death of the first queen, His Royal Highness has not returned to Beijing to mourn. His Majesty was therefore very dissatisfied with this imperial brother, but... In the end, he is the only brother who is still alive, and he will probably turn a blind eye.

I see. Nangong Mo nodded, Pingzhou is quite close to Lingzhou, has Lianxing heard of what kind of person this prince is?

Qu Lianxing shook his head with some regret and said: This prince seems to be quite low-key, except for the fact that he did not return to Beijing for the funeral and had to be displeased to make a decree to apply for the funeral, I have hardly heard of him doing anything out of the ordinary.

Would a really low-key person be angry and not attend the queen's funeral because he asked His Majesty for the prince's title unsuccessfully? Nangong Modao. Qu Lianxing was a little puzzled, doesn't this just prove that this person is impulsive and reckless? Nangong Mo shook his head, the person who can linger in his heart for more than ten or twenty years is not reckless but holds grudges, and he will be revenged. With His Majesty's feelings for the former queen, the person who dared to be absent from the queen's funeral was not impulsive, but he knew His Majesty and knew that His Majesty would not dispose of him because of this. Otherwise... If it were you, would you dare to do this?

Qu Lianxing thought about it seriously, shook his head and said: Don't dare. Today's Majesty xià...... Nowadays, His Majesty doesn't take human life seriously, even if his own brother is really angry, who dares to guarantee that His Majesty the Emperor will not do it?

Fang touched his chin and asked, "Is it possible that he didn't think about this kind of thing at all?"

Nangong Mo smiled: If this is the case, he is not impulsive and reckless but a real fool. Fang, do you think that a person from a poor family who can't even eat enough, has no talent, and even has no scheming, impulsiveness, and recklessness can safely walk through the turbulent times of the last years of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, go through the dispute between the Central Plains, and then offend the emperor's majesty, and then the wife has been a rich idler for so many years? Don't forget the founding ministers and generals around you today, there are many cautious and cautious people, and there is no shortage of honest ministers who really have no scheming, where are those people now? I'm afraid that the grass on the grave is two feet high, right? If this is the case, the luck of this Pingchuan County King will be against the sky.

Fang nodded silently, and Nangong Mo ordered: Immediately send someone to Pingzhou to find out all the things about the king of Pingchuan County. And also... His Majesty the Emperor also reported there, so as not to turn around and blame us for making our own decisions.

Yes, Lord Shire.

In a private courtyard at the other end of the town, Xiao Qianye sat on the main seat with a gloomy face, staring at the people waiting below, and said in a deep voice: How many days has it been? You still sue the king, you can't help it? The faces of the people kneeling down were also gloomy, and a man in his early fifties at the head sighed and said: The prince is angry, it's not that his subordinates are not dedicated... However, the terrain of Luoyang Mountain is too complicated, and if there is a fish that slips through the net, I am afraid that it will not be beautiful.

Xiao Qianye said coldly: Is it just waiting? Waiting for those in the Sunset Mountain... What the hell is coming out? We're all going to be finished!

This... The middle-aged man also had a dignified face, if we send soldiers into the hunt, those soldiers will also be sick. What's more, now that many people know about the things in the mountains, even if they are afraid of heavy rewards, no one may be willing to go.

Xiao Qianye knocked on the table with an expressionless face and said, "So, you can only set it on fire?"

The middle-aged man said: Arson is the safest method, no matter how powerful the evil wind or poisonous gas is burned by the fire, it should be gone. But... We can't be sure if the birds and beasts in the mountains will get the disease, or if they will infect people. Once the mountain is set on fire... Wild beasts may rush out of the mountains and forests, and some of them may even break into the places where people live, and attack the people. When the time comes......

Xiao Qianye got up abruptly and said: This can't be done, that's not possible, so what do you say?!

This...... The middle-aged man said: The best way is to cure this disease, but... Where is the contagious plague so easy to cure? And they don't even know what the plague is. It is really Xiao Qianye's bad fate, after a flood, there was no large-scale plague in the place that was flooded, but such a strange disease occurred in this place where birds do not lay eggs. Recent years are definitely not Xiao Qianye's lucky years, Xiao Qianye really wants to pass this year soon.

A bunch of rubbish! Xiao Qianye said angrily.

His Highness was furious. Zhu Chuyu, who was sitting on the side, smiled faintly. Xiao Qianye glanced at her and asked, "What can the county lord of Shanjia do?" Zhu Chuyu smiled: Actually, it's not impossible.

Oh? Please ask the county lord to teach. Xiao Qianye said.

Zhu Chu said: It is not difficult to solve the people inside, and there is no need to set fire to the mountain. At first glance, all the drinking water of the people in the mountains only depends on the dark lake in a cave in the mountain? No matter who you are, you always have to drink water and eat, right? It's not good to do hands and feet on the grain, but... The water is all in one place, and you only need to send a few people in. In addition, Chu Yu accidentally got a recipe that is said to prevent the spread of various epidemics, but I haven't used it but I don't know if it's true.

Hearing this, the eyes of the several doctors kneeling on the ground lit up, and they hurriedly asked: What the county lord of Shanjia said is true?

Zhu Chuyu smiled: How can you dare to open your mouth at this time? The Zhu family and His Royal Highness are both prosperous, and they are both lost, will I still harm His Highness?

Xiao Qianye was also attracted by what Zhu Chuyu said, and this king naturally believed in the loyalty of Gao Yibo's Mansion, the county lord, that Fangzi...... Zhu Chuyu said softly: Fang Zi is not by my side, but I should be able to remember it after seeing it, and I will silently come out to His Highness when I turn around.

County Lord. An old doctor hesitated for a moment and asked, "The county lord's recipe... Is it effective in curing epidemic diseases? If anything, this strange illness may be ...... Zhu Chuyu shook his head with some regret and said: This recipe can only prevent people from being infected, but if it is a person who has been infected, there is no way to treat it.

Xiao Qianye and Zhu Chuyu glanced at each other, no matter whether this strange disease could be cured or not, those people in the mountains had to die.

Xiao Qianye waved his hand and said: "That's it, you go back and continue to think of a way, the people in the mountains, this king will send someone to deal with it."

Yes, Your Highness. Everyone resigned in unison. A middle-aged doctor who walked at the end couldn't help but glance sideways at Zhu Chuyu, who was sitting next to him, and couldn't help but shudder in his heart. This county lord of Shanjia has a gentle and generous personality, and his speech is also soft-spoken, which makes people feel like a spring breeze. But it was such a woman who seemed to be gentle and pure, but she took the lives of thousands of people in the mountains as soon as she spoke.

There were only two people left in the room, Zhu Chuyu and Xiao Qianye, and Zhu Chuyu asked: The Lord of Xingcheng County and Wei Shizi have arrived, what is the prince going to do?

The look on Xiao Qianye's face froze, and he gritted his teeth and said: What's the use of us doing more now? Since Wei Junmo and Nangong Mo have arrived, Grandfather Huang will know about it sooner or later! Unless......

Zhu Chuyu shook his head and said: I advise Your Highness not to think about it, don't forget... Zixiao Palace... I just received the news from the spies, from last night to now, how many people are secretly embedded in Luoxia Town, although I don't know, but there are at least hundreds of people in the inn where Nangong Mo and the others are staying. Hundreds of first-class killers, even if they can't deal with so many of our soldiers and horses, it is simple to take advantage of the chaos to protect the Lord of Star City and Wei Shizi to escape. When the time comes, it will really be a mortal enemy.

So what to do? Xiao Qianye said.

Zhu Chuyu said with a smile: You said that Zixiao Hall is obviously the master of Wei Shizi, why is Lin Changfeng the hall master?

Wei Junmo, as the prince of Jingjiang County, how could he... Xiao Qianye paused, and there was a hint of understanding on his face, Wei Junmo didn't dare to let people know that he was the master behind the Zixiao Palace. What the imperial grandfather hates the most is these assassination organizations, if the imperial grandfather knows, even Aunt Changping will not be able to protect him.

Zhu Chuyu said with a smile: That's exactly the case, but Wei Junmo has dropped most of the power of Zixiao Hall this time, and if someone wants to check it, they will never find it. He has been hiding for so many years, why he is revealing such a big flaw at this time, it is just that he is worried about Nangong Mo's safety. Obviously, in Wei Shizi's heart, the comfort of the Lord of Star City was more important than anything else. Therefore, let's not move the county lord of Star City and use the bargaining chips of Zixiao Hall to negotiate terms with Wei Shizi, and it is very likely that he will agree not to divulge this matter.

This... Xiao Qianye frowned, still not very relieved. How can he feel at ease by letting someone who is not his own know that he has such a big handle? Zhu Chuyu naturally knew his thoughts, and said lightly: Killing people is naturally a complete strategy, but unfortunately, we don't have the strength now. Your Highness thinks twice.

Xiao Qianye also knew that what Zhu Chuyu said was right, so he had to nod his head and answer Zhu Chuyu's opinion.

Lord Qiqi, the lord of Xingcheng asks to see. Outside the door, the guards hurriedly came to pray.

The two of them looked at each other, and there was some surprise in their eyes. Obviously, they didn't expect that they didn't go to Nangong Mo, and Nangong Mo would come to the door by himself. Zhu Chuyu frowned and said, "Your Highness, the county lord is afraid that he will not agree to you to deal with the people in the mountains, and you still need to ...... at this time Xiao Qianye snorted lightly and said: It's not her turn to speak in this matter... Thinking of Nangong Mo's temperament, Xiao Qianye said again: Don't mention this to her first.

Be.

Nangong Mo followed the guards who led the way into the hall, and Zhu Chuyu hurriedly got up to greet him and saw the county lord.

Nangong Moxiu raised her eyebrows lightly, and said with a light smile: The county lord of Shanjia is also here.

Xiao Qianye said: Why did the county lord come to this poor and remote place, didn't Jun Mo come with you? Of course, Xiao Qianye knew that Wei Junmo was coming, but Wei Junmo didn't accompany Nangong Mo to come, which made him even more worried, and at the same time, he didn't dare to move Nangong Mo lightly. Nangong Mo smiled faintly and said: Isn't King Yuejun also here?

The smile on Xiao Qianye's face faded a little, and he looked at Nangong Mo Dao: It seems that the county lord already knows what happened here?

Nangong Mo didn't hide it, nodded slightly, and said: I heard it a little. I don't know what King Yue plans to do? Xiao Qianye sighed and said: Who knew that this kind of place could have a sudden plague, this king... At this time, he was really helpless, and he wondered if the county lord could help the king come up with an idea? Nangong Mo said with a smile: The matter of the plague is not trivial, so naturally you should tell Your Majesty first, and ask the imperial court to send an additional imperial doctor over.

Xiao Qianye sighed and said: Why doesn't this king know? It's just that the emperor's grandfather ordered you and me to come to Lingzhou for disaster relief, and now Lingzhou is first a rebel and then there is a plague, how can we explain to the emperor's grandfather.

Nangong Mo looked at him and said: Is it possible, the king of Yuejun also wants to hide his illness? Didn't the king of the county forget that if Shan Xin hadn't been confused and concealed the flood for a while, why would the matter in Lingzhou be like this? I also hope that the king of the county will think twice, myrrh will repeat the mistake of Shan Xin.

Looking at the face in front of me I am a woman who is good for you, Xiao Qianye snorted angrily in her heart. Didn't he know that it was not good to hide his illness? The problem is that this is not a simple epidemic caused by a flood, and the things in the mountains cannot be discovered by outsiders. Looking at Nangong Mo, Xiao Qianye said sincerely: County Lord, this king will definitely try his best to solve this problem. I also ask the county lord to postpone for a few days before reporting to His Majesty, the emperor's grandfather is very old, and we as juniors really shouldn't let these things bother his old man. If something happens... This king is responsible for it. Xiao Qianye said that the righteousness is awe-inspiring, but it's a pity that Nangong Mo doesn't believe a word, give you a few days to wait for you to kill all the people in the mountains and come back and let us carry the black pot?

Lord Wang, the epidemic will only drag on more and more severely, you can think about it carefully. Nangong Mo was a little embarrassed and said: Such a big thing, if you don't tell Your Majesty, I'm afraid it is... Something is wrong.

Xiao Qianye said: As long as it is solved, it will naturally not be a big deal. When the time comes, there will be a false alarm, why bother to make the emperor's grandfather tired?

Nangong Mo lowered his eyes and said: King Yuejun is so confident, he must already have a plan?

Xiao Qianye was stunned, and hurriedly smiled: Where is it, this king just believes in the doctors under him, please wait and see. If the problem cannot be solved within two or three days, the county lord will tell His Majesty again, and Xiao Wang will not stop him. Nangong Mo looked at Xiao Qianye fixedly for a long time, and finally nodded slightly and said: A word is a certainty.

Xiao Qianye breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, and said with a smile: Thank you for your forgiveness.

Nangong Mo shook his head and said: Actually, there is another thing that the county lord wants to ask the county king when he comes here.

Xiao Qianye smiled and said: "County Lord, please speak."

I don't know, the county king and the Pingchuan county lord are familiar with each other? Nangong Mo asked. Xiao Qianye's expression changed slightly, and he looked at Nangong Mo Dao fixedly: King of Pingchuan County? Uncle Huang? Why did the county lord ask about him? Nangong Modao: Isn't this Luoyang Mountain generally in Pingzhou? Pingzhou is the fief of the county lord of Pingchuan, in case a sick patient runs to Pingzhou, does the county lord want to notify the king of Pingchuan County and the governor of Pingzhou first?

I see. Xiao Qianye touched his forehead and said, "The county lord reminds me that this matter will be handed over to this king." The king immediately sent people to inform the emperor's uncle day and night. Nangong Mo nodded, and said with a light smile: Then there is His Royal Highness Lao.

It's what this king should do. Xiao Qianye said.

Nangong Mo got up and said: There is nothing else, since this is the case, the county lord will leave first.

Xiao Qianye also couldn't wait to send Nangong Mo away as soon as possible, and said with a smile: The county lord please, this king will send the county lord out.

The prince still has something to do, stay. Nangong Modao.

The two watched Nangong Mo go out, and Zhu Chuyu's expression became a little solemn. Catching a glimpse of her expression, Xiao Qianye asked: What did the county lord of Shanjia think of? Zhu Chuyu said in a deep voice: The county lord of Xingcheng is only afraid of knowing something. She won't mention the king of Pingchuan for no reason.

How so? Xiao Qianye was also stunned, the matter here has always been secret, and no one has ever found out. Zhu Chu said: Does the prince really think that the county lord of Xingcheng brought up this matter in order for you to inform the king of Pingchuan County? She was clearly testing us.

Xiao Qianye frowned, and Zhu Chuyu sighed and said: "Lord Wang, if you have nothing to do with the King of Pingchuan County, will you really send someone to inform him if something like this happens?"

Naturally not. Xiao Qianye said: If you notify him, it doesn't mean that everyone knows. How can this king conclude that he will not immediately play the emperor's grandfather?

Zhu Chuyu nodded and said: Therefore, His Royal Highness wanted to conceal His Majesty, but he agreed without hesitation to inform the King of Pingchuan County. Aside from the fact that you can be sure that the King of Pingchuan will not divulge this secret, what other reason can there be? The plague is such a big thing, why should the king of Pingchuan County hide it for you, who are just nephews and grandchildren, and have never met a few times?

This Nangong Mo! Xiao Qianye gritted his teeth, this Nangong Mo is too cunning, why didn't you say it earlier?

Zhu Chuyu was helpless, the county lord of Xingcheng was right in front of him, how could I stop it? What's more... In addition to agreeing, how else can you reply? If you find a reason to shirk it, the Lord of Star City will say that she sent someone to inform you. Once the county lord personally sent someone to inform the king of Pingchuan County, but the king of Pingchuan County did not play His Majesty, what do you think His Majesty would think? So Your Highness, you can only agree to come down. It's just that you said yes too quickly. What Zhu Chuyu didn't say, in fact, she suddenly thought of this after Xiao Qianye agreed.

Xiao Qianye frowned and said: What now? This Nangong Mo... Sure enough, it's a big enemy!

Zhu Chuyu shook his head, now we can't do anything, Wei Shizi doesn't know where to go, no one knows how deep the strength of Zixiao Hall is. As a last resort, you must not tear your face with them. Fortunately, now that both sides have each other's handles in their hands, the Lord of Star City and Wei Shizi have no enmity with us, so they won't think about losing both sides with us, right? Just now, she should have sensed something and wanted to test it.

Out of the courtyard, stroll through the somewhat empty streets. Fang was a little curious and said: County Lord, are you just right?

Nangong Modao: It's just a matter of trying him, it seems that Xiao Qianye and the King of Pingchuan County do have cooperation in private. This king of Yuejun is also a strange person.

Fang smiled: Who made Lingzhou border Pingzhou? And who allowed gold to be discovered in a place like Luoyang Mountain? Whether it is the people of the king of Yuejun who find out first, or the people of the king of Pingchuan who find out first, the other party always wants a piece of the pie. It's not surprising that they will cooperate, even if it is me, I will be very hesitant to find a gold vein or not to tell the imperial court. It's not just hesitation, but you just want to take a risk, okay? How much reward can I get for telling the news to the court? But if you own a gold vein, it means that you will be lying on a mountain of gold for the rest of your life. As the emperor's grandson, Xiao Qianye wants to raise concubines, staff, courtiers, and Shilin, which one doesn't need money? It's understandable to be tempting.

Nangong Mo lowered his head and thought about it, if he had a kind of golden mountain... Well, this feeling is really impossible to refuse.

County Lord, you just promised the King of Yue County not to tell His Majesty, but...... He remembered that the county lord had already asked people to go back to Beijing to report the news before he went to see the king of Yuejun, right?

Oh, I lied to him. Nangong Mo said indifferently, what's more, it's not my personal excerpt, and it's not my complaint.

However, even if King Yuejun's brain is gnawed off by something, you are the first to suspect it, right?

------Off topic------

It's still afternoon today.,I'm not used to it~ I'll try to update it in the morning~.
