Minyu sighed secretly, these people relied on the old and sold the old, it was really not enough to conspire, so he stood up silently and left the Tai Hospital amid the sound of foaming at the mouth of the Tai Doctors.

The streets of the capital, which should have been bustling, are now deserted, with only the occasional group of patrolling officers and soldiers passing by. Now on the contrary, the temple is very lively, Sanskrit sings a great work, and all the monks chant in unison to send the plague god.

In the open space of the suburbs, poor people who have died in their families spontaneously carry their dead relatives here. A large pit was dug in the clearing, and the pit was filled with corpses. A hideous-looking, papier-mâché blight ghost was finally thrown into the pit, and as torches doused with pine oil were thrown into the pit, a fire erupted, engulfing all the corpses and the blight.

The smoke and flames around the capital are terrifying.

Minyu walked down the deadly silent streets, preoccupied. Several figures hurriedly walked past her, she looked sideways, and opened her mouth to shout, "Ning Gongzi......"

"Oh, it's Minsi Yao," a handsome young man turned around, it was Ning Zu'er, he stopped, a strange color flashed on his face, "Why are you here?" ”

"I ...... I want to come out and take a look," Minyu reached out and stroked her sideburns, "It's too noisy in the hospital, and it's a little messy in my heart." ”

"Haven't they figured it out yet?" Ning Zu'er raised her eyebrows, "Did they bully you?" ”

"No," Minyu shook her head slightly, "they are all highly respected......

"Hmph, it's just a vegetarian meal for corpses," Ning Zu'er sneered, "When they come up with a way, I'm afraid everyone in the capital will die." ”

"Ning Gongzi ......" Minyu hesitated for a moment and asked, "...... Any news now? ”

"Do you mean Brother Yang?" Ning Zu'er sighed, "If it's on land, it's easy to find out his whereabouts, but the vast sea ......" shook his head, "I have already sent a letter to Nanzhen Fusi's father-in-law, asking him to send someone to keep an eye on the seaports in the south to see if there are any suspicious ships docking, there should be news soon......" Speaking of this, he comforted him again, "Brother Yang is strong in martial arts, he will definitely be fine, please rest assured that the news is this." ”

Min Yuqiao's face darkened, but she still forced a smile, "Thank you Ning Gongzi." ”

"Why are you so polite," Ning Zu'er said: "Brother Yang's business is my business, but unfortunately there are many affairs in the capital now, otherwise I would like to go south to find out Brother Yang's whereabouts in person...... How to control this plague is the top priority at the moment. ”

"I know."

"Do you need me to have two people protect you?" Ning Zuer was a little worried when she saw her walking alone.

"No, Ning Gongzi, you can get busy, don't worry about me." Minyu smiled indifferently.

......

There is a tea house at the intersection, and there is a shed outside, with a few square tables and a dozen wooden benches. Of course, it's empty now. Minyu felt a little tired, so she sat down on a wooden bench.

"All places are tightly controlled, and people are forbidden to go out at home," Minyu Xiu frowned together, muttering to herself, "Why is the epidemic spreading so fast?" It's strange that there are no mosquitoes and flies flying around in winter. ”

"There are no mosquitoes and flies, there are still other things, but unfortunately no one cares."

The sudden sound startled Minyu, and she hurriedly looked up to see an old man with white beard and white hair lying on a long wooden bench opposite her. The old man looked quite old, but his face was flushed without a trace of wrinkles, and his clothes were dirty, torn, and greasy, as if he hadn't washed them for a long time.

The whole tea house was still empty, and the old man seemed to have appeared out of thin air.

Minyu's face was happy, and she opened her mouth and shouted, "Master—"

The old man jumped to his feet, and his skills were extremely agile. A pair of white eyebrows moved slightly, and there seemed to be a smile on his face, "Xiao Yu'er is actually an official, it's really gratifying." "He is Wang Yaoxian that Yang Muyun met in Juyong Pass.

Minyu blushed and said with some embarrassment: "Master, you are making fun of the apprentice again." ”

"It's not a joke," Wang Yaoxian stroked his beard, "Do you think, tens of millions of men in the world have spent their lives and can't get a half-official position, Xiao Yu'er, you have just reached the end of your life, and you have already lived in the sixth grade, aren't you worthy of the men in the world?" ”

"Master," Minyu's eyes flickered, and she changed the subject

"Why did you come to Beijing all the time?" ”

"I said I came to see you, do you believe it?" Wang Yaoxian quipped.

"Of course I don't believe it," Minyu said, "It's only been a few months since the apprentice came to Beijing, and he lives in the palace, how could you know so quickly, Master?" ”

"Good question," Wang Yaoxian stared at her with eyes and sighed, "I haven't seen her for almost a year, and Xiao Yu'er is getting more and more beautiful." ”

"Master......" Minyu's face was red, as if she had been smeared with a faint layer of rouge.

"Such a beautiful woman, Ziyi, this kid is willing to let you go." Wang Yaoxian said with a smile.

"There's really nothing between me and the Third Highness," Minyu pursed her lips and said, "I've always respected the Third Highness." ”

"I understand," Wang Yaoxian glanced at her and said with a faint smile: "You like someone else, right?" ”

Minyu's eyes drooped, and she bit her lips lightly, silent.

"The old man saved a person when he was in Juyong Pass," Wang Yaoxian muttered: "His surname is Yang, and his name is Yang Muyun......"

"Has Master seen him?" Min Yu said happily: "You still saved him?" Did he suffer any injuries? ”

"The Gu poison on his body has flareed up again," Wang Yaoxian said, "Fortunately, I used the fire dragon seed to help him control the Gu poison," shaking his head, "If you can't eradicate it, it's hard to guarantee that it won't recur." He looked at her and said, "What about the kid?" Where is he now? ”

He ...... It's no longer in Kyori," Minyu said with a moment's hesitation.

"Really?" Wang Yaoxian rolled his eyes and twisted his beard, "That kid lives in the capital, do you know?" ”

"Master, why are you asking this?" Minyu changed the subject, "Now there is such a serious epidemic in the capital, and many people have died. The apprentices are at a loss, can you help the apprentices? ”

Wang Yaoxian laughed, "Yu'er, don't panic, what do you think of this epidemic?" ”

"Plagues generally occur at the turn of spring and summer, and it is extremely rare in the middle of winter," Minyu muttered, "Judging from the corpses of the dead, it should have died of poison, but now that the weather is cold, all the insects are silent, and every household is isolated, how can it be infected so quickly?" ”

"That's right," Wang Yaoxian nodded and smiled: "To spread the epidemic virus, you don't necessarily have to rely on flying insects such as mosquitoes and flies. ”

"Is there anything else?"

Wang Yaoxian smiled mysteriously and took out something from his cuffs.

"Yikes!" Minyu screamed in surprise, and saw that what Master had taken out was a big stuffed mouse, holding its tail in his hand, and its body was struggling and writhing in the air, and its mouth was squeaking strangely.

"See?" Wang Yaoxian smiled: "With this thing here, where can I go to the capital?" Not to mention ordinary people, even the Imperial Palace, they are also familiar with the road. ”

"As long as the rodent infestation is eliminated, the spread of the epidemic can be controlled," Minyu's eyes lit up, and then dimmed again, "But how can the infected people be treated?" I've tried everything I can to make all the prescriptions I can make, but none of them work......"

"Oh?" Wang Yaoxian raised his eyebrows, "Bring me your prescription." ”

Minyu took out a piece of silk paper and spread it on the table, "Master, you see, from Qianhu, Chuanxiong, Citrus Aurantium, and Qianghuo...... The septic powder made of atractylodes, thatch, mountain sage, herbs, and fine spices are also ...... The plague pill made is able to drive away the plague and remove the poison. ”

"Not bad," Wang Yaoxian couldn't help but bow his head, looked at her with an approving gaze and said: "It seems that you already know the medical book left by the old man, but ......" said with a smile: "To know that all things are born and restrain each other, it is better to read than to have no books, to learn and use it lively, you can't blindly die according to the book...... The prescription is good, but it lacks a medicine. Without medicine, no matter how good the prescription is, it will be in vain! ”

"Master, doesn't you know about medicine?" Minyu raised her eyebrows and said with surprise on her face.

"Medicine?" Wang Yaoxian raised the mouse in his hand a little higher, and said with a slight smile: "This is it." ”

"This ...... How does this work for drug introduction? Minyu's eyes widened.

"Why not?" Wang Yaoxian smiled and said: "Throw it into the pot, boil a big pot of soup, and take the prescription with this soup, isn't it just medicine?" ”

"Rat soup? Master, you said to use rat soup as a medicine? Minyu was even more surprised.

"That's right," Wang Yaoxian nodded heavily and said, "That envoy."

The poison was put on the rats, and the rats passed it on to people, but have you ever seen a rat that died from the poison? ”

"No, I didn't."

"That's it." Wang Yaoxian looked solemn, "I said that all things are mutually reinforcing, and the reason why people who make poison think of using rats to spread the epidemic virus is because rats are born to restrain this epidemic poison, so isn't it a good medicine to use this mouse to make soup?" ”

"I see." Minyu's eyes lit up.

"It's good to understand, it's good to understand." Wang Yaoxian smiled: "Then you should know what to do next?" ”

"Hmm!" Minyu bowed her head with confidence.

————————————

I don't know how many days later, someone opened the door of the cabin and led Yang Muyun out of the cabin.

"Is this landing?" Yang Muyun asked.

The man didn't answer, and the two walked down the long corridor to the deck.

Because of staying in the cabin for many days, as soon as he saw the sun, Yang Muyun only felt that his eyes were piercing, and he covered his face with his hands for a while before he got used to it.

The air, damp and salty...... He took a greedy sip, is this the smell of the sea? He lowered his hands and opened his eyes to see that the blue water was boundless, connected with the clear blue sky, and he couldn't tell where the sea was and where the sky was.

This was the first time Yang Muyun had seen the sea, and such a magnificent scene was something he had never seen before. In his hometown, Taihu Lake, although he can't see the edge, is still a little bit missing compared to the sea.

"How? Yang Muyun, how does it feel to be locked up for so many days? A girl's voice mocked.

Yang Muyun turned around and saw Yan Ni standing not far away, looking at her.

She wore a thin forged gauze shirt embroidered with long branches and flowers in autumn, a Hunan skirt green with lake water, and a pair of silver silk jade bracelets hanging on her wrists, which were as tender as a green magnolia; The hair is combed into a flowing cloud bun, with a pair of coral turquoise beeswax beads inserted on it, completely dressed as a Han girl, very charming and moving.

Yang Muyun couldn't help but be stunned.

"What, don't you know?" Looking at his dumbfounded appearance, Yanni smiled.

Yang Muyun hurriedly lowered his head and stopped looking at her.

"Are you afraid I'll eat you?" Yanni came to him with a graceful step and blew in his ear, "Why don't you dare to look at me?" ”

Yang Muyun still didn't speak.

"Well," Yan Ni sighed slowly, "sometimes I wonder if you would really accept me if I were a Han woman?" ”

"But you're not," Yang Muyun raised his head, "I'm not in the same position as you, and I'm destined not to come together." ”

"Really?" The corners of Yanni's lips hooked up a bitter smile, "Maybe you shouldn't have appeared at the Qingshuitan Town Inn that day." ”

"But I appeared," Yang Muyun sighed, "It's just that I shouldn't have been involved at that time, because even if I didn't protect you, Ling Yihan wouldn't be able to help you." ”

"But you still blocked him for me," Yanni's thoughts were also brought back to that day, with a sweet smile on her face, "You are the first man willing to protect me." ”

"So you've been pestering me since then," Yang Muyun smiled bitterly, "Didn't you see my wife when you were in Nandu?" ”

"So what?" Yan Ni frowned, "The man I fancied, even if he has a woman, he will snatch him to my side." ”

"You're being unreasonable." Yang Muyun glanced at her unhappily and said.

"Whatever you want," said Yanni, "your woman is dying anyway." ”

"What?" Yang Muyun was taken aback, "What did you do to them?" ”

"They? Does it seem that you have more than one woman around you? Yan Ni sneered, "It won't be long before the entire capital will die, and your woman will not be spared." ”

"No," Yang Muyun's eyes widened, "I have a lot of people, and I will never let you succeed......" He suddenly thought of the Wang Yaoxian he met when he was in Juyong Pass, if he could get to the capital, he would definitely defuse the epidemic there.

"Really?" Yan Ni said indifferently: "It doesn't matter, anyway, you are in my hands, and I will not let you leave my side again." ”
