When Fang Geng heard the news and rushed back from other counties, all the intersections and wharves leading to Zhaojia Town had been completely sealed, and he used a lot of silver, and the officers and soldiers who blocked the road refused to let him in, only told him to give a death order from above, strictly prohibiting anyone from entering or leaving.
In his last letter to him, Fang Fei mentioned the epidemic and told him that the herbs he had prepared last year were life-saving medicines, but what he and Fang Fei didn't expect was that the epidemic would be so severe!
"Master Jun, I beg you, as long as you let me in, it doesn't matter how much money I have, my eldest lady and little master are still in the town, I have to save them!" Fang Fei and Fang Pei are the only bloodlines of the Fang family, no matter what the price is, even if the family is bankrupt, he must keep the only remaining descendants of his benefactor!
The squad leader accepted a lot of silver from Fang Geng, and when he saw that he wanted to go in, he said: "Old man, it's not that I won't let you in, it's really a death order from above, dare to let one person in, our entire team will be dealt with in accordance with military law, forgive you really can't let you in, besides, if you go in, you will be sent to death, and I won't let you in for your own good!" ”
"This military master, I have a prescription, I can restrain the plague, I can save people, you can do it, let me in!" Fang Geng really had no choice but to say so, and stuffed the last silver ticket on his body into the hand of the squad leader.
The squad leader touched his chin, looked at Fang Geng with some embarrassment, and said, "Old man, it's not that I don't understand human feelings, it's really a death order from above......" As he was talking, he suddenly seemed to have an idea, and his eyes lit up. said: "Old man, I really don't dare to let you in, so let's do it, I'll show you the way......"
As he spoke, he glanced around, reached out and put it on Fang Geng's shoulder, leaned into his ear, and whispered: "Old man, we really dare not disobey the order from above, you want to go in." There's only one way. I heard that the prince of Chen Guogong's mansion is in the county, if you can get a token from him, don't say it's me, even if it's our big soldier. Don't dare to stop you from entering! ”
Fang Geng groaned slightly. He arched his hand at the captain. said: "Thank you for the guidance of this military master, I am grateful." With that, he hurried back. Untied the horse pulling the cart and rode away.
Chen Yu is conceited, the total number of Ming guards and secret guards who go out with him will not exceed twenty, but all of them are first-class good players, Fang Geng wants to get close to him within ten zhang and talk to him, it is indeed not an easy task.
After thinking about it, he only got the post station where Chen Yu stayed, and asked someone to bring a message to Chen Yu: The people of the Fang family in the capital wanted to make a deal with him.
After a while, Chen Yu squinted, walked out of the post station with his hands behind his back, stood on the steps, glanced at Fang Geng condescendingly, and said, "You want to see me?" ”
"Exactly." Fang Geng was not stage frightened at all, arched his hand, and replied in a straight voice.
Chen Yu hooked his lips and smiled, squinted his eyes and asked, "Who are you from the Fang family?" ”
Fang Geng's age looks like he is about fifty, the same generation as Fang Fei's father, but Fang Fei's father is also a single person, and he has no brothers, if he dares to claim to be Fang Fei's uncle or uncle, Chen Yu doesn't even have to think about it, he will let people directly drag him down to serve the torture.
Fang Geng's face did not change, he was full of confidence, and said with a straight face: "I am a servant of the Fang family, and the two generations of the Fang family are dying, and I am guarding them alone." ”
Chen Yu's eyes suddenly brightened, and he changed his previous lazy demeanor, like an eagle falcon aiming at its prey, hooked the corners of his lips, and asked lightly: "Why should I believe you?" ”
The two generations of the Fang family head he said naturally refers to Fang Fei's grandfather and father, if it is really as he said, if the two generations of Fang family heads only have Fang Geng by his side before they die, then the secret that the Fang family took away must be on Fang Geng! Of course, the premise of this qiē lies in whether Fang Geng is the real Fang family.
Fang Geng was in a hurry to save people, and he didn't have any evidence on him to prove himself, so he simply said directly: "Chen Shizi, I have been paying attention to you since the first day you came to Zhaojia Town, what you want to find is in my hands, except for me in this world, even Fang Fei's sisters and brothers don't know." Now, if it weren't for the catastrophe in Zhaojiazhen, the lives of Engong's descendants would be in danger, and you wouldn't be able to find what you were looking for in your life. ”
Chen Yu squinted his eyes and couldn't help but scrutinize Fang Genglai carefully.
He had carefully investigated Fang Fei before, and he also knew about Fang Geng's existence, but at that time, Fang Geng was only the identity of Fang Fei's distant relatives, but he turned out to be a descendant of the Fang family, and he was really hidden deeply, and even he hid it from him, but this can't be blamed on his subordinates, because back then, in addition to the descendants of Old Man Fang's relatives, the whole Fang family was executed, and the chickens and dogs were not left, but they didn't expect that there would be a fish that slipped through the net.
Looking at Fang Geng, who is over fifty years old, his chin is as bright as he is, not even a single stubble, and when he talks to himself, he has no stage fright in his demeanor, not like the rules taught in the big family, but like he was taught in the palace.
"I'll believe you first." Chen Yu walked down the steps step by step with his hands behind his back, came to Fang Geng's side, and said, "However, you took the initiative to come to the door, what do you want?" ”
Fang Geng sighed and said helplessly: "Now that the epidemic in Zhaojia Town is rampant, the imperial court has sent people to block the passage in and out of Zhaojia Town, and the two little masters don't know if they are alive or dead, I just ask the prince to give me a token and let me enter and exit Zhaojia Town freely." ”
Chen Yu also just returned to the county, he didn't know much about the epidemic in Zhaojia Town, after listening to Fang Geng's words, he immediately turned sideways, and asked Cheng Qi who was following him in a low voice, "Didn't the imperial court send someone to treat the epidemic?" ”
"Nope." Cheng Qi replied truthfully, "Eldest prince, this plague is not the first time, in the past few years, it has happened every year, and the imperial court has spent countless financial resources and manpower, but it has not been able to save the lives of the people in the epidemic area, but a lot of people in the epidemic area have escaped, causing Linxian County to suffer, and the court has made up its mind, as long as the epidemic occurs, the epidemic area will be blocked, and no one will be allowed to enter or leave until the epidemic disappears." ”
"If all the people of the world are infected with the plague, and they do not have to give up the people of the whole world? Out of the plague and don't want to cure the epidemic, the saint is really old and confused! Chen Yu frowned. Displeased.
When he said this, Chen Yu was on the street, Fang Geng was standing in front of him, and his voice was not small, and the people around him couldn't help but sweat for him, you know, the 'old fool' he scolded is suitable for today's saint! A single word can destroy the saint of a family......
Cheng Qi hurriedly coughed and whispered: "The eldest prince, now he is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, that is, your cousin is in prison." These decisions. It's all the will of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and it has nothing to do with the Holy One......"
You must know that Chen Yu may not take the saint in his eyes, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not only his cousin. It was his childhood playmate. or brothers who have fought side by side on the battlefield together. is a benefactor who saved his life! Chen Guogong's words, he can listen to one out of ten sentences, it is good, but His Royal Highness the Prince's words. Chen Yu will never refute that the only person in this world who can cure him is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
As soon as Cheng Qi said this, Chen Yu really didn't say anything anymore, because he knew the prince's character best, he was decisive in killing, decisive in decision-making, and had the courage of a strong man to break his wrist, this kind of thing seems to be his usual style.
Fang Geng is a good person, naturally he knows what kind of words to keep in mind, what kind of words to put in the left ear and out of the right ear, he didn't say anything at the moment, he didn't hear what to do, and changed the topic and said: "Chen Shizi, I once got a prescription for curing the plague from a master, please give me a token and let me enter Zhaojia Town to try, if I can keep the descendants of the head of the family safe, I will definitely offer what the son of the world is looking for with both hands!" ”
In fact, Fang Geng was not completely sure, that prescription was given to him by Fang Fei, and those medicinal materials were also planted or purchased by Fang Fei since he went last year, as for whether he could cure the plague, he had to wait until he returned to Fangjia Town and let the patient take it before he could know the result, so he didn't dare to say no words, saying that he would definitely cure the plague.
Chen Yu frowned, as if he was seriously considering the feasibility of this matter, and after half a sound, he directly ordered: "Cheng Qi, quickly go and prepare two fast horses." ”
"Hey, okay, I'll go right away!" Cheng Qile replied hesitantly, and after going to the stable of the post station and bringing two horses over, he couldn't help but wonder, so he asked: "Eldest son, this old man is here alone, only one horse is enough......
Before he finished speaking, Chen Yu snatched the reins, handed one to Fang Geng's hand, and said: "Let's believe you, this son will personally go with you, I will help you rescue Fang Fei, you give me the relics of Old Man Fang, go, get on the horse!" ”
The eldest prince is going to run to the epidemic area? He is the heir to the future state mansion! If he has three long and two short, after he goes back, Chen Guogong will have to pick his own skin! Cheng Qi was frightened, and knelt down directly, hugged Chen Yu's thigh, and said hurriedly: "Son!" Can't you go, now there is a plague in Zhaojia Town, and some of them can't go back, and it's small to go! After saying that, he wanted to grab the whip in Chen Yu's hand.
"Where is the Shadow Guard?" Chen Yu let out a loud shout, and in an instant, two subordinates dressed in black and wearing fanged beast masks half-knelt in front of him, waiting for his orders.
Chen Yu glanced at Cheng Qi and ordered: "Tie him up for me, and don't allow him to leave the post station for half a step before I come back!" ”
These shadow guards are all trained by Chen Yu in private, and they are only under his orders, they are all first-class masters, they look at Cheng Qi, Cheng Qi doesn't want to leave the post station half a step before Chen Yu comes back.
"The eldest son! You can't do this, I won't stop you, you let me go with you! Cheng Qi saw that he couldn't stop him, so he retreated and wanted to go with him.
Chen Yu had already turned over and got on the horse, looked at Cheng Qi condescendingly, and said: "Your father is your only child, who told you not to come out as a biological son earlier, if you have three long and two short, your old Cheng family will be dead, how can I explain to your father when the time comes?" ”
Cheng Qi grew up with him and accompanied him to the battlefield, the two are called master servants, but they are like brothers, Chen Yu naturally refused to bring Cheng Qi into the epidemic area.
If it were in normal times, the eldest prince could say so many things to him in one breath, Cheng Qi would definitely be happy, but now it is extraordinary, Cheng Qi wanted to rush up to grab the reins, but was restrained by Chen Yu's shadow guard, and couldn't help but scold: "Fuck your uncle!" I'm an only child, so you're not an only child? Why didn't I marry a daughter-in-law or a son, do you have a wife and a son? If you have three long and two short, your Chen family will also be the last! How will I explain to your father then? ”
Cheng Qi yelled, his eyes were red, and he kept struggling, wanting to rush over and pull Chen Yu off the horse, but his fists were hard to beat with four hands, and the two shadow guards firmly restrained him, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't break free.
Chen Yu laughed heartily a few times, raised his whip and pointed at Cheng Qi, and said: "Brother, stay at the post station obediently, my lord has nine lives, and he can definitely come back, when the time comes, the first thing is to find you a daughter-in-law, you hurry up and give birth to a son, so that your father will be happy!" After speaking, he immediately put away his smile and ordered the two shadow guards with a cold face: "Send him back to the post station, if he leaves the post station half a step, come and see him!" ”
As soon as the words were finished, a crisp whip sound sounded in the air, and then, the horses under the crotches of the two neighed one after another, carrying Chen Yu and Fang Geng away, and on the empty street, only a string of angry horses' hooves and the sound of Cheng Qi scolding the street remained.
Fang Geng's original intention was just to want a token that could enter the blockade area, Chen Yu would follow, but he didn't expect it, but with him following, if the recipe given by Fang Fei was really useful, then the matter of curing the epidemic would be much simpler!
The two of them hurried up, and soon returned to the place where Fang Geng had been stopped before, and the team leader saw that Fang Geng had invited Chen Yu himself, and couldn't help but be shocked, and took advantage of the opportunity to open the checkpoint, and quietly returned the silver tickets that had received Fang Geng before, these silver tickets were originally his own, Fang Geng had no reason not to, and accepted them all.
Chen Yu has been fighting for many years, and while the enemy army is terrified, he seems to have become a god-like figure in the minds of his own soldiers, and some people even carry his portrait with him, thinking that he can bless themselves...... Nowadays, wherever Chen Yu goes, he no longer needs to show tokens and other objects that can prove his identity, and basically relies on brushing his face.
"Switch!" Chen Yu grabbed the reins, his expression was cold, like a cold-faced killing god, in front of outsiders, he didn't even want to say a word.
After the two entered the blockade area unimpeded, they rushed forward for more than an hour and arrived at Zhaojia Town.
On the way here, Fang Geng discussed with Chen Yu, and after Fang Geng went back, he went directly to Fangjia Town to prepare medicinal materials to start treating the epidemic, and Chen Yu was responsible for going to the county government to find someone to help boil and apply medicine, and by the way, help him inquire about Fang Fei's news.
