One hundred nine. pestilence
In a hurry, he went to Yunze this time, Qin Nanxi completely forgot the perfect strategy of resting at night and doing everything during the day, and only ordered the coachman to travel day and night. In less than a month, the three people who were swept by the wind and dust could already feel the cool late summer night breeze in northern Xinjiang.
The mountain road in front of you is gradually flattening out, and the pedestrians on the road are gradually thinning. Around the periphery, slowly desolate. On this day, seeing the red sun falling in the west, Qin Nanxi ordered the coachman to park the car on the side of the road, arranged a few words, and got out of the car to stretch his sore and stiff body.
Xiao Fei followed behind her, swaying her neck from side to side to look around, and quipped: "It's in such a barren mountain again, and you're not afraid of being robbed by mountain bandits to be the lady of the village!" I really can't see that you, a delicate daughter, have such courage! ”
Qin Nanxi smiled: "Are you afraid? ”
Xiao Fei said: "I'm afraid, of course I'm afraid!" This ghost place with no village and no store in front of it is the most rampant place for mountain bandits. Our car, at first glance, doesn't have much oil and water to fish. There is no wealth to rob, they have to rob the color! ”
Qin Nanxi said: "If we really meet mountain bandits, do you think they will let us go if they rob the wealth?" ”
Xiaofei complained: "Since you know, then you are not afraid?" This way I always eat and sleep in the open air, and I didn't dare to close my eyes and sleep well one night! You're good, sleep well every night, it's very sweet! ”
Qin Nanxi smiled secretly in her heart, with Xiaofei's three-legged cat's little effort, if she really met the robbers, the two of them would only be caught in pairs, where could she be expected to protect herself, but Qin Nanxi understood her intentions, and said with affection: "I know that you are protecting me." Blame me, blame me for not explaining it to you. I dare to do this without fear. From tonight, no matter where we stay, Fei Ye can sleep peacefully. I'll keep us safe. ”
"How do you protect it?" Xiao Fei's mouth was faster than his brain, his voice landed, and his eyes were full of suspicion. has been with Qin Nanxi for more than a year, and she knows that she is not a person who keeps her promises.
Qin Nanxi smiled at her and said in a low voice, "Have you forgotten what happened to us on the road to Yunze for the first time?" ”
"You mean the masters who are secretly protecting you?" Xiao Fei said, his eyes looking around vigilantly.
"Well, those are the people. Therefore, with such a first-class master to protect us, Fei Ye can sleep with peace of mind! ”
Xiao Fei wrinkled his nose and asked puzzledly, "Who are those people?" ”
Qin Nanxi lowered her head and sorted out the folds at the corners of her skirt, and said indifferently: "It is said that those people are called 'Fengzhuwei', and they may be Prince Changping or my brother's people. ”
Xiao Fei listened, but exploded: "What? Then you still dare to take them to the general? What kind of heart do you have in peace? ”
Qin Nanxi's figure suddenly determined, raised his eyes to look at Xiao Fei, and was silent.
"You, why are you looking at me like this?" Xiao Fei was a little weak-hearted.
Qin Nanxi retracted his indifferent and majestic gaze, and said lightly: "What do you think I have in peace?" You also saw the situation that night, Brother Yi was injured, not they were alarmist. Situ Chong and my brother both said that only Asouf could save Brother Yi at the moment. Even Mr. Liu understands this. Do you think that Prince Changping and my brother have put so much effort into it, why did they want me to take Assuf to save my brother for nothing? ”
Xiao Fei also knew that what Qin Nanxi said was reasonable, but he was still worried: "Then, if you take those masters to Yunze, won't the general leak his whereabouts?!" He is injured, and if his whereabouts are discovered, it is very dangerous! ”
Qin Nanxi glanced at the quiet bushes in the distance and said in a low voice: "According to my brother, that night, after Feng Zhuwei rescued Brother Yi, they were robbed by another group of masters outside the city. I speculate that the people who kidnapped Brother Yi should be Brother Yi's own subordinates, and they listened to Mr. Liu's arrangement and responded outside the city as early as possible. Since they can rob Brother Yi from Feng Zhuwei outside Chang'an City, are you still afraid that they will lose to Feng Zhuwei on their own territory? ”
Xiao Feikong opened his mouth, but he quickly pursed his lips again, nodded and admitted that what Qin Nanxi said was reasonable.
The two chatted for a while, and were about to turn around, when they saw Asufu coming from afar, and said with a panicked expression: "Sister Cut, there is a shoe man in the bushes over there, and this is a shepherd from the North." All sick! ”
Flying bared her teeth, and along the way, whenever Asouf spoke, she couldn't help but laugh at his strange tone. Fortunately, Asouf has a generous temperament and never cares about her. When Qin Nanxi heard this, his brows were slightly clustered, his eyes flickered, and he replied unfocused for a while: "Mr. is a miracle doctor, if they say that they are sick, they will naturally not be wrong." ”
Assuf's green eyes were full of anxiety and puzzlement: "Sister Cut, can I save them?" The mud in the Central Plains does not make a flower called: God has the virtue of good life? I'm a doctor, I can't die without help! ”
Qin Nanxi stared at his expression, carefully distinguishing the truth from the false, but said indifferently: "Did Mr. forget?" Our trip to Yunze is an important matter! If something goes wrong, how will the gentleman explain? ”
Hearing this, Assuf stomped his feet slightly, glanced at the bushes again, and said with a rare solemnity: "Sister Cut the shape, never delay, I will definitely save the people that the prince wants to save, and I will definitely save them." I am a healer, and if I don't save me, the heavens will punish me! ”
The corners of Qin Nanxi's lips were slightly raised, and in a hurry, this Asouf finally took the initiative to say that the person who asked him to go to Yunze to save people was "the prince".
King Changping, it turns out that he has been wiring for more than ten years! Qin Nanxi sighed secretly in his heart, and immediately understood - since Assufu obeyed the orders of King Changping, then his wife should have been imprisoned by King Changping, and Asufu found that there was slow poison in the pill taken by the first emperor, in fact, it should have been instructed by Changping to do it.
It's just that why did King Changping easily give this perfect excuse to overthrow the crown prince to Zhou Huan, the king of Changning at that time? Qin Nanxi's mind was racing, but he couldn't push this point for a while. was frowning and thinking seriously, when he suddenly saw Assuf jump to a place only half a foot away from him, spread his two big hands, and pleaded: "Sister Cut, please give me a day, I can't die without help!" If you don't save yourself in death, you will be punished by God! ”
Qin Nanxi nodded, with her heart, she naturally would not sit idly by. She only saw that Asouf was anxious, so she deliberately delayed. People are the easiest to break through their defenses in anxiety and panic, and she wants to find out who Asouf is obeying. But what she didn't know was that Asouf never intended to hide this, and King Changping and Qin Nanfu did not intend to hide it. They just want her and Situ Yi to know that Assufu is the person of King Changping.
Seeing that she agreed, Assuf spread his long legs and hid into the woods by the side of the road in three or two steps.
Qin Nanxi and Xiao Fei followed him into the woods.
In the evening breeze, the thick shade rustled, and the dim sky light passed through the leaf gaps, casting a few dim and cold bits of light like phosphorus fire on the fallen leaves of the years, Qin Nanxi squinted his eyes, trying to distinguish the people who were moaning under the trees.
"Sister Cut, don't come here!" Asouf had already leaned over beside the man, and suddenly blocked Qin Nanxi and Xiao Fei from a distance.
Xiao Fei grabbed Qin Nanxi, took out the fire fold from his arms, and lit up a halo. It was only by the faint light of the fire that the two of them could see clearly.
Under the tree, half-leaning on a man dressed as a Beidi shepherd, his gray and black old leather robe was patched, a pair of thick felt boots were also worn out at the corners, his sallow face, green sunken eyes, his chest was faintly undulating, his left hand hung weakly to his side, and his right hand stretched out to his knees. On his lap lay a shepherd woman in the same humble dress, who was leaning downward, her body no longer moving, except for a long, black and thick braid, which was reluctantly wrapped around the man's hand.
"What's wrong with them?" Qin Nanxi stopped and asked Asouf from afar.
I saw Asuf pull out a long handkerchief from his sleeve, quickly and carefully folded the handkerchief three times, and tied his face back to cover his mouth and nose. After that, he turned around and said loudly: "It's an epidemic, don't come here for the time being." ”
"Plague!" Qin Nanxi was slightly stunned. The Yunze generation did often have Beidi shepherds who escaped across the border to earn a living. Looking at the dress of these two people, it is true that they look like Beidi shepherds who have fled from the cold, but why are they sick here? And what they gave birth to was an epidemic.
Could it be that Yun Ze has encountered a plague? Could it be that such a thing as making things worse should really be done to Situ Yi again and again? As soon as he thought of this, Qin Nanxi's heart tightened again.
