Chapter 937? Beauty Twilight (16)

After the caravan entered the city, the plague spread more rapidly in Xin'an County.

Starting from the middle-aged man who fell ill in the pharmacy, those who had contact with him and those who were close to him were infected and died violently one after another.

The proprietor of the pharmacy, the old doctor with a childish face, was old and sophisticated, and when he noticed that something was wrong, he immediately closed the pharmacy, drove the people out, did not treat them, and even packed up his belongings and fled to the suburbs, but he still did not escape the disease, and his disciples, the apprentices, died one by one, and the death was no different from that of the middle-aged man.

The whole family, only the kind-hearted medicine boy, was spared.

In addition to the horror, it is even more weird.

Outsiders may want to praise the medicine boy's life and great blessing, but he is in it, but only he knows that it is terrifying, and he has done his filial piety to bury the old doctor's family, and he does not dare to stay for a long time, so he flies away.

Ordinary people, to landlords and wealthy merchants, the plague in Xin'an County quickly spread to all strata, and many village gentry gathered together to ask for an explanation from the Xin'an County Order, urging the government to take action quickly.

The government did take action, but it was not as they expected, and the officials posted notices everywhere to appease the people, found some doctors, worked together, concocted a prescription, boiled it on the spot at the entrance of the city gate, and gave it to the people to drink, claiming that the disease was just an ordinary epidemic and that there was no need to worry too much.

The smell of medicine all over the city barely stabilized the hearts of the people, however, soon, an even greater collapse came.

In the county office, the staff master of the Xin'an County Order was ordered to submit an official document to Luoyang Mansion, and wantonly used Spring and Autumn penmanship to cover up the truth of the plague, but unexpectedly, the copywriting was not yet written, so he fell on the table.

With black blood on one side and white foam on the other, his body quickly dried up.

It is the most obvious symptom of the plague.

The news reached the county yahoutang, and the county order didn't say a word, left his wife and children, rushed to the stable, chose a healthy horse, galloped all the way, rushed out of the yamen, and left a high-sounding reason at the door.

"You are in your own position, each performing its own duties, Hugh is greedy for life and afraid of death, this official will go to Luoyang, the capital of God, to ask Di Xiangye to be benevolent, and send a famous doctor to save the people here."

After saying it in a strict voice, the county commander waved his whip and rode away.

The words were good, but no one listened to them.

Since he left, the yamen has rolled up and down one after another, and each has gone to find a way to survive.

The already fragile situation in Xin'an County collapsed for thousands of miles, and every household supported the old and the young, flocked to flee, and the gates at the city gate were squeezed out alive.

In the past, it was a major trade road and a prosperous city, but at the end of the year, ten rooms and nine empty rooms were empty in a blink of an eye.

The street inn has more guests, more than 100 people.

But they are all Xie Yaohuan's people.

The caravan that entered the city not long ago was quite large in number and had strange whereabouts, and Xie Yaohuan's cronies around him were worried that they would break out, so they transferred a group of people from outside the city to take precautions.

Except for them, there was no one else in the inn, and even the shopkeeper of the inn and the stiff sour account room left their homes and businesses, carried their bags, and fled for their lives out of the city.

"Commander, before the county government master was sick, there were people in that caravan who went in and out of the county government at night" The middle-aged man beside Xie Yaohuan frowned into a Sichuan character, "If the subordinates' speculation is correct, the plague in the county is really spreading, and everyone is in danger, it must be their doing, and the intention seems to be to make Xin'an County an empty city, and the comer is not good."

"Expelled nearly 100,000 people from the city, and in this county, there are not a hundred, but eighty who died of the plague, just to trap us in this empty city? If we make a move, won't all their plans be in vain? The girl guard beside Xie Yaohuan was holding a long sword in his arms, slanting at him, with a neurotic look on his face, "This is too stupid, no matter what you think, I don't believe it."

"Indeed, I'm afraid that no one will use such a stupid and unreliable way to do things" The young guard spread his hands and disagreed.

"Yes, they are not stupid, they are not stupid, but you tell me that they are entrenched in the city, spreading rumors of plague and harming people, if they are not directed at us, why did they come? You've got what it takes, but give me an explanation."

Xie Yaohuan's other henchmen, including the rough and reckless man, were all unimpressed.

The middle-aged man was squeezed and ridiculed one after another, and he couldn't hold his breath, slammed the table, and asked angrily.

And all the people fell silent.

This is indeed an unsolvable question.

The rough and reckless man drooped his head, his eyes rolled, his heart and eyes were alive again, he laughed dryly, patted his chest, and pretended to be unintentional, "Commander, otherwise, let's strike first, take care of him, kill them, and settle quietly, it's better than worrying day by day."

"Bastard, let's nest in Xin'an County, just wait for the rabbit, we want to lure Fengchen Mansion and the dog's legs over, and catch them all, there is revenge, there is revenge, there is revenge, if we make a big move in the city first, the ghost will come?" The middle-aged man sneered at each other.

The rough and reckless man snorted, muttered two sentences, and said no more, only to suppress the thoughts in his heart that he had not been long, and broke out of his shell again.

This time, he had a choice close at hand.

"Bang Bang ......"

The door was slammed open, and a figure rushed to the front and knelt on the ground, "Commander, the four men and horses have entered the territory of Xin'an County, and the enemies who are tracking behind are also approaching one after another......"

"This is a good thing," Xie Yao looked around like a flat lake, "What are you panicking about?" ”

"Commander, entering the suburbs of Xin'an County, hundreds of brothers and sisters in the four departments have been infected with the plague, and it is still spreading, and the situation is dangerous......"

The crowd was in an uproar and terrified.

Xie Yaohuan was still steady, and asked softly, "What about them, are they infected?" ”

"According to the subordinates, the enemy is more seriously infected, and more than 200 people have died due to the plague......"

Xie Yaohuan nodded slightly, and his cold cheeks swept over an abnormal flush, "Let's go down, I have my own opinions."

The crowd looked at each other, their faces were heavy, and they retreated.

"100,000 people have been displaced, the plague is rampant, civilians are dead, internal guards are dead, and the enemy is ......also dead," Xie Yaohuansu clenched the window edge with his hand, his knuckles were white, and his muscles were faint.

"Lang Jun, could this be you?"

She hoped that this was Quan Ce's attempt to welcome her back, and she did not hesitate to make a big move, but she hoped that it was not, and she was anxious.

Her bait has arrived in the suburbs of Xin'an County, whether it is life or death, love, the truth is suddenly clear, just two or three days.

Shendu, on the official road to the east.

The carriages and horses stretched, and the flags were displayed.

This is the procession of the imperial court to greet the foreign vassal mission.

The first two are Luo Wuquan, the general of Yulinwei, and Da Zuorong, the prince of the Yan Dynasty.

"General Luo, aren't they all used honor guards to greet the mission, why do you bring them all the officers and soldiers of the Yulin Guard?" Da Zuorong is a little inexplicable.

Luo Wu turned his head sideways, revealing a weird smile, "I am a general, although I was ordered to greet the mission, but Honglu Temple was negligent, and the honor guard was not in place for a long time, so I had to fill the number with officers and soldiers under my command."

"Oh? It turns out that this is the case" Da Zuo Rong believed, drove his crotch to dismount, got closer, and said warmly, "That's true, although the Celestial Empire is vast, but there are always unsatisfactory things, a few days ago, because of Chide Zuzan, I was also imprisoned."

"The general and I are both strangers, so we need to be more vocal and help each other in the future."

Luo Wuquan's face looked like a cry and a smile, and he nodded indiscriminately.
