The guard was afraid of the sense of oppression on Su Yuanyi's body, and lowered his head again, "Back to the prince, something happened to the prince, so that before the Zhongwei army arrived, many of the people of Yandong had already fled out of the city. ”

"On the same day, as soon as Mr. Chen got the token of the Central Guard Army sent by the prince, he planned to mobilize the nearby troops to forcibly break the city gate, Yandong was less than a hundred miles away from the nearest camp of the Central Guard, and it was a day to come and go, and the subordinates thought that they would be able to enter the city on the same day, but they did not expect that several Central Guard troops adjacent to Yandong were on routine patrols, and they all happened to leave the camp. And during the time when the Central Guard Army arrived, the city seemed to have discovered something strange outside, and opened the city gate at night, and when the subordinates found out that something was wrong, they would go to the city to close it, and it would be too late! The guard replied in detail with some nervousness.

When Su Yuanyi heard this, his eyes narrowed slightly for a moment, and his face was solemn and abnormal.

The Central Guard Army has been stationed in various parts of Daqin all year round, and routine patrols have always been a common practice, but if it happened to avoid Chen Jianzhi's arrival in Yandong a few days ago, it seemed too much of a coincidence.

Su Yuanyi slowly rubbed the tea bowl in his hand, his eyes fell coldly on the ground not far away, his expression was as cold as ice, and he was silent and did not speak.

The guard raised his eyelids and glanced at Su Yuanyi, and when he saw that he looked thoughtful, he didn't dare to say anything.

The room was quiet for a moment, Su Yuanyi Fang retracted his gaze, and said, "Then what is the current situation in Yandong?" ”

After the Yandong City Gate was opened, Mr. Chen took a few Langzhong into the city and found that seven or eight out of ten people were sick. It was diagnosed and confirmed to be plague. Before the subordinates left, the first group of Central Guards had also arrived. Ban Yandong City! The guard paused, resisting the urge to raise his sleeve to wipe his sweat. He said in a low voice: "It's just that the subordinates are in a hurry to come back to report the news, how many people in Yandong have escaped, how many of those who escaped are patients, and how many are still safe, and the subordinates have not yet investigated clearly." ”

Both Qinwei and Su Yuanyi knew in their hearts that the plague had broken out every time there was a dynasty recorded in historical records. There is no time when it is not one to ten, ten to hundred, and then out of control. The most terrifying thing about it is that its symptoms can be easily transmitted to others, but it is extremely difficult to find the right prescription to cure it in time.

It is not for nothing that people in the world talk about the discoloration of the plague.

And what these patients who fled from Yandong meant to the people outside was self-evident, not to mention that Yanling was adjacent to Gyeonggi, and if the plague spread to the capital. The consequences are even more dire.

It's just that the matter has come to this point, and for the sake of today's plan, we can only isolate Yandong first, and then seize the time to find a way to deal with the fleeing people.

Su Yuanyi glanced at the guard. He doesn't want to investigate the fault immediately, but the culprit of this status quo is absolutely impossible for him to indulge!

Su Yuanyi frowned. said coldly: "Where is the Yandong County Order now?" ”

After a few questions, the guard was already in a cold sweat. Rao is a messenger by Su Yuanyi's side, and he has long been accustomed to this kind of coercion. At this moment, he still didn't dare to continue answering. He lowered his head and closed his eyes, gritted his teeth, and said in his heart: "When the subordinates and others found out that the gate of Yandong was opened privately, the county order had disappeared for no reason, and they didn't know where to go. ”

"How can you let him escape so easily!" A wave of anger suddenly appeared on Su Yuanyi's face, his eyebrows raised, and there was a hidden anger rolling in his eyes, showing a bit of coldness under the dark pupils.

The guard knelt heavily on the ground, "It's the subordinates who are not doing things well, and the subordinates are willing to be blamed, and please calm the prince's anger!" ”

Su Yuanyi's face turned angry, put the teacup on the table, made a muffled sound, interrupted the words of the guard, and immediately said coldly: "If you wait for such negligence to underestimate the enemy, once the plague is over, this king will have a heavy punishment!" ”

"My subordinates understand." This guard also knew the seriousness of this, and did not dare to say more.

Su Yuanyi glanced at the guard and did not reprimand again.

Su Yuanyi was not a person who liked to show emotions, but soon, the anger on his face gradually subsided, turned cold, and frowned: "This king asks you, Yandong County Order, can someone be arrested now?" ”

"When his subordinates returned to Beijing, Mr. Chen had already ordered people to search for the whereabouts of the Yandong County Order throughout Yanling County, and also sent people to Yanling City to inform the Yanling County Guard." The guard hurriedly replied.

What the guards said this time, obviously heard too much, Su Yuanyi nodded clearly, did not raise any objections, he thought for a while, and lightly ordered: "Go down, let Hengwen come in." ”

"Yes." The guard stood up and saluted, and quickly exited the study.

After a few moments, Hengwen walked inside.

When he saw Su Yuanyi's cold expression, he understood what the situation was, and said consciously: "Wait a minute, the little one will go and invite them to come to discuss the matter." ”

……

Outside the Nine Courtyards, the guard and Hengwen left one after the other.

Su Wanqing's master and servant stood in the dark place on the side of the road, and by the light on the road, they took in their demeanor and demeanor.

The guard, apparently, was a "remnant of the catastrophe", recovering his life to his master and leaving in a hurry, while Hengwen was in a hurry and looked a little anxious.

Except for Bi Wu who didn't know anything about Yan Dong, Su Wanqing and Hongfu couldn't help but have some thoughts when they saw this, and the expressions on their faces were also tense.

The two couldn't help but glance at each other, and continued to wait patiently in the cold night.

After all, they have been standing outside for a long time, as the time passes minute by minute, the night is deep, the cold wind is cold, they don't feel cold, but at this time, they don't care about these things at all.

I don't know how long I stood there, but in the silence, at last, there was a sound of conversation mixed with footsteps.

There seemed to be a lot of people coming, and the voice sounded very chaotic, and if you made it closely, you could occasionally catch the restlessness and restlessness of the interlocutor.

Su Wanqing and the three of them almost held their breath, carefully listening to the conversation from far and near, becoming clearer and clearer, looking at those overlapping figures, and gradually walking into the light from the shadows in the distance, they finally saw clearly that those people were the doormen in King Yi's mansion.

Seeing this battle, it is Biwu, and it is not difficult to see that Yiwangfu is afraid that something big has happened!

Su Wanqing and Hongfu both have considerations in their hearts, after all, at this time, what big event can happen in Yiwangfu, so that all the guests will be gathered in one place in the middle of the night?

The only possibility is that the news from Yandong's side has been confirmed!

Hongfu thought of this, and in an instant, her face was like ashes. (To be continued.) )
