The word smallpox was like a magic spell, and fear engulfed the crowd in an instant.

Everyone stood without saying a word, and the corpses on the ground became the only focus of attention.

"Grandma, I'm so itchy."

There was a timid whisper in the voice of an immature child, and the next moment was a deafening exhalation: "Red rash, red rash!" He got a rash on his body! ”

The crowd seemed to be pulled by an invisible hand, and suddenly they all pulled to the other side. In the empty streets, only a miserable white corpse remained, and a mother and son hugged each other tightly.

Smallpox!

The mother's eyes gradually despaired, and only the child's voice reverberated crisp and soft in the world: "Grandma, it's so itchy, scratch." ”

The mother's Mu Ran did not let the child feel abnormal, and she stretched out her short and fat little hand to scratch the large red rash desperately.

Maybe his movements were too focused, or maybe the street was too quiet at the moment, and everyone's ears seemed to echo the unusually clear scratching sound, and then, inexplicably, he felt that he was itching too.

When I raised my hand to scratch it, I saw a red rash illuminated by the rain.

"Smallpox!"

The ultimate in despair and terror is anger.

"It's all those devils!" In the crowd, I don't know who shouted: "It was those Northern Xia people who angered the gods, why did they want to bring disaster to us?" ”

"Kill them, and perhaps the gods will forgive us."

"That's right! Kill them! ”

"Kill! Kill! Kill! ”

The crowd was passionate, and everyone's eyes were scarlet. The evil thoughts in people's hearts were watered by this raging rain, and they sprouted and thrived in an instant.

……

At dusk, the rain came and went faster. It's like a pour, and everyone thinks it's going to be in the middle of the night. I didn't know that the sky was dyed with a touch of twilight, and suddenly it stopped.

The heat of the day was not relieved by this rain, but left a heavy dampness. Humidity and heat are intertwined into an unbearable suffocation. Everyone seems to have a firecracker hidden in their hearts, and it only takes a little spark to burst in an instant.

Jun Qinglan was staring at the dark guard transporting the last batch of medicinal materials into Liu Buren's courtyard, when he suddenly heard the earth shake and the mountains shook with a loud bang, and rushed straight into the sky, exploding into small stars in mid-air.

"Who is setting off firecrackers?" Jun Qinglan raised her head, and the sparks in the night were eye-catching and dazzling. But it was only for a moment, it was like a flash in the pan, and it disappeared in an instant.

She only slightly hooked the corners of her lips, then ignored it and continued to stare at the steady stream of medicinal herbs sent to the hospital.

Jiang Yufan's brain seemed to have suddenly opened up in these days, and in order to hide people's eyes, not only did she buy all the medicinal materials on her prescription, but even bought many herbs that she had never explained. Jun Qinglan is still quite satisfied with this wave of operations, and seeing her spring breeze every day, Dingguo Gong will no longer be stingy with his praise. For the first time in his life, Jiang Yufan felt the recognition from his father.

"My lord, something is wrong!" Tang Ying's figure fell from the roof like a ghost, and although the night was thick, it couldn't hide the solemnity and anger in his eyes.

"What are you going to do?" Jun Qinglan glanced at him: "Didn't I let you guard Miss Jiang Ba?" ”

"**Mob attacks the palace, this time...... I'm afraid I can't suppress it! ”

Jun Qinglan pursed her lips lightly and looked at Tang Ying.

"When it rained before nightfall, a man died in the street. For some reason, the smallpox poison suddenly spread at that moment, and many people who went to the streets to welcome the rain became ill. So....... ”

Jun Qinglan half-furrowed her eyebrows, understood!

In the past, smallpox had only been inflicted among officials and guards, and the infected were so well controlled that the people, though worried, did not stick needles in their flesh. However, everyone's nerves are actually tense, and they can't be stimulated in the slightest.

Thus, the man who died of smallpox in full view became the straw that broke the camel's back. Coupled with the fact that the virus began to spread among the people, anger finally triumphed over reason.

"Dingguo Gong and Jiang Xiaoye have already led Dingguo Army to investigate, at this time, I must stay by the adult's side!"

Jun Qinglan looked up, and suddenly there was a raging fire in the east. The tongue of fire was bright red, flying wantonly, and it lit up half of the sky in an instant.

"What's going on?"

"Look...... It's like there's a fire on East Street. Tang Ying frowned fiercely: "This kind of weather can still be amazingly hot, I'm just afraid of ......." ”

I'm afraid that ten out of ten is artificial.

"The secret guards of Duanwangfu came out to meet you!"

Jun Qinglan's gaze suddenly became deep and firm at that moment. In the dreary night, the slender and thin woman stood with her hands tied, whether it was the distant firelight or the noisy human voices, she was excluded. Around her, there is only a composure that oil can't be splashed.

Even in the face of this group of secret guards who she had never seen the whole picture in the past, she did not leak a single cowardice.

Jun Qinglan's gaze quickly glanced at the men in front of him who almost merged with the night, and took a deep breath.

Tonight is the most dangerous night after they enter **. Of course, there are risks and opportunities. Whether the crisis can be turned into safety, these people in front of them are the key.

"Tang Ying, how many secret guards are there in the palace?"

"Sixty."

Sixty!

Jun Qinglan nodded. These sixty people may sound like a lot, but they are undoubtedly a drop in the ocean compared to the unknown mob outside, not to mention the many truly powerful enemies hiding in the shadows.

Tonight, it is destined to be a bitter battle.

Ten people quickly rushed to the Dongyun Hall to stop the fire from spreading. Dongyun Hall is close to Dongjie, and the fire is strange, maybe it will burn to Dongyun Hall if it is less tilted. If...... I really couldn't stop the fire, so I looked at those who fished in troubled waters. In any case, they must not be allowed to enter the inner courtyard of the palace easily! ”

Another twenty people went to each hall, gathered everyone in the west courtyard, and listened to Uncle Liu's arrangement. If there is obstruction, it will not be ....... Jun Qing's blue eyes condensed, and he gave birth to a faint murderous aura: "Kill!" ”

"Set aside ten more people to hide in the shadows, and keep an eye on all parts of the palace. Reinforcements are available at any time when a crisis is detected, and it is necessary to ensure that the news is conveyed smoothly everywhere. ”

"The last twenty people will go with me to support the Duke of Dingguo. Tang Ying, all the dark guards are deployed by you. You don't have to follow me, just roam around and improvise. ”

"Yes!"

This time Tang Ying did not object, he knew very well that Jun Qinglan's arrangement was the most reasonable. In just a short moment, the strength of these sixty people was brought into full play, both offensive and defensive, and the most important intelligence personnel were never spared.

And the smartest thing about her is that she doesn't grab power, she only provides methods, but the deployment is done by Tang Ying. Although the secret guard would not resist Jun Qinglan's order, compared to Tang Ying, she was a woman who relied on Li Congyao to gain a firm foothold in the Duanwang Mansion, and she really had no credibility.

Tang Ying half-frowned and retreated into the crowd, and in the blink of an eye, he arranged everyone properly.

Jun Qinglan didn't delay any longer, and hurried to the palace gate with people, but at the second gate, he ordered people to stop and not go forward.

The second gate is still a certain distance from the gate, and even so, you can hear the shouts of killing in front of you, and the flames are soaring into the sky.

Jun Qinglan just didn't see it, and ordered everyone to prepare the items to defend the city, and the second gate could be blocked at any time.

"My lord, why don't you move forward?"

Jun Qinglan looked back, in the night sky, everyone's eyes were burning like shining stars, and they looked at her for a moment. The Dark Guard was usually emotionless, however, she felt a thin layer of anger from them at the moment.

"There is a Dingguo army guarding the gate, we are going at this moment, are we looking down on the Dingguo army?"

"Not to mention ......." Jun Qing's blue eyes flashed slightly: "The second gate is the real lifeblood of the palace!" As long as we stay at the second gate for a few more moments, the people inside will be able to have more vitality! ”

The palace is used by the king to spend summer and escape the summer, and it is naturally not as solid as the real palace. In the past, the gate of the palace was wide open, and you could see the majestic hall inside at a glance. To put it bluntly, that door is just for show.

The two doors are different.

After passing the second gate, it is considered to have officially stepped into the hinterland of the palace, and all the palaces can be driven straight in. Therefore, this palace gate has been strengthened by some special means.

If even the second gate is breached, the palace will be completely lost. At that time, whoever survived was lucky.

The Guards stopped talking. It was about the first time they had seen such a woman.

She has never led soldiers to fight, she is slender and weak, and she has no power to restrain the chicken, but her body seems to be full of strength. In the face of the disaster, she always kept her waist straight. She is sober and calm, but she never takes the enemy lightly or fights for credit.

She waited only in the dark night, waiting for the best time. Some may say that she is insidious, cowardly, and does not dare to confront the enemy head-on. But only these battle-hardened guards know that waiting is the most grinding kung fu.

A moment earlier, a moment later is a curse. It's a test of physical strength, but also of heart!

Jun Qinglan only picked one person to act as a scout, and reported the battle situation at the gate to her at any time, while the rest of the people waited in place like her.

The mob is so aggressive and aggressive that it has begun to break down doors with rolling logs. Although the Dingguo Army has tried all means, in the face of this group of people, it is inevitable to throw a mouse. Coupled with the fact that the gate is not strong, it is only a matter of time before it is broken.

"When the mob breaks in, find the people who talk the most but never make a move, and make an example of the monkeys!"

Everyone glanced at Jun Qinglan, and Dingguo Gong had already issued a restraining order not to do anything to the people, so as not to further intensify the contradictions. How did she ......

"If it were just ordinary people, would it be so well-organized? Can you even find a rolling log to break the door? These are siege strategies! ”

Therefore, the reason why the people suddenly became troubled was, of course, because they were secretly bewitched by someone. Not only did they provide them with an elaborate layout, but they even provided them with siege weapons.

However, such people often have a characteristic, that is, they cherish their lives. Only by saving one's own life can this fire burn more and more at the most opportune time!

It is not a pity for such a person to die!
