The army outside was besieged, and then there was a knock on the door, Li Xiu hesitated for a moment before stepping towards the door, no matter what, he had to figure out the situation outside first, and at this time, Princess Pingyang also picked up her own weapons and followed Li Xiu closely, if there was really any danger, she could also desperately protect Li Xiu, even if it was death, she would die together.

"Who's outside the door!" Li Xiu asked loudly through the door, under the unclear situation, Li Xiu did not dare to open the door rashly, if the army outside was really coming at him, there was also a thousand guards stationed at home, even if he was defeated, at least he could protect the clothes and kill them.

"Don't worry, don't worry, the last general He Panren!" The people outside also replied immediately when they heard Li Xiu's words. Hearing that it was He Panren outside, Li Xiu and Princess Pingyang both breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, although He Panren's utilitarianism was heavier, his loyalty to Princess Pingyang could still be guaranteed.

But even if he knew that it was He Panren outside, Li Xiu still didn't dare to be careless, and asked people to open the door a little at the moment, and at the same time Princess Pingyang ordered the guards around her to open a bow and arrows, and if something was wrong, ten thousand arrows would be fired immediately, and then Li Xiu saw He Panren outside the door, only to see the other party's armor, more than a dozen soldiers with torches standing behind him, and people in the distance shouted horses neighing, there must be more troops nearby.

"General He, what the hell is going on, why did you bring troops here?" When Princess Pingyang saw He Panren and other soldiers outside, she immediately found that they did not have any murderous aura, and they didn't look like they were targeting her side at all, so she was also relieved at the moment.

"Princess Qiyu, the last general will come to protect the horse and the princess by His Majesty's will, because the matter is urgent, so it is too late to notify in advance, and I hope the horse and the princess will not be blamed!" He Panren explained to Li Xiu with a wry smile at this time, he also received the order in the middle of the night, and then marched all the way to here, and then commanded his generals to deploy defenses, and only now did he have the opportunity to come here to call the door.

"Protect us? Could it be that someone else has reversed? When Li Xiu heard this, he finally couldn't help but ask, when the Xuanwumen Incident first happened, there were many people who took the opportunity to make trouble, but now that Li Shimin has been on the throne for half a year, and the year name has also been changed, there should be no one to rebel at this time, right?

"It's easier to do it if someone makes it, but this time it's much more serious than a rebellion!" He Panren heard Li Xiu's words, but he smiled bitterly again and said, if this time the matter is not handled well, God knows how many people will die?

"More serious than a rebellion? What's that? Li Xiu couldn't help but be shocked when he heard He Panren's answer, this world can let Li Shimin send troops to protect them, it seems that there is nothing else to do except rebellion?

"Smallpox!" He Panren gritted his teeth at this time and squeezed out two words from between his teeth, he was not even afraid of ghosts and gods when he broke out of the sea of blood in the corpse mountain, but when he mentioned the word "smallpox", his eyes showed a bit of fear, after all, compared to the visible enemy, this plague was more terrible than any enemy.

"What?" When Princess Pingyang heard the word "smallpox", her face was also pale, and she almost fainted to the ground for a shake, she was not afraid of herself, but thought of her son who was born less than half a year old, if the plague of smallpox spread, adults may still have a chance of life, but if the child is infected, it is almost ten dead, how can she not be afraid?

"General He, where did the smallpox outbreak break out this time, and how serious is the situation?" Li Xiu's body trembled when he heard this, and then he calmed down and said, although he has not experienced smallpox, but after coming to Datang, he has also heard of countless tragedies caused by smallpox, the most recent one was last year, when an epidemic occurred in a state in Hebei, resulting in thousands of people dying of the disease.

"Qi Yu Horse, this smallpox epidemic is in Qingtian County next door, not very far from the horse, now Your Majesty has sent a large army to surround the entire Qingtian County, and closely investigate the surrounding counties to prevent the spread of the epidemic, at the same time, Chang'an City has also been martial law, only allowed to go out and not enter, Your Majesty sent the last general to pick up the princess and the horse back to Chang'an, after all, the city is still safer!" He Panren replied again.

After He Panren came here, he immediately surrounded the entire princess's courtyard, just to prevent anyone from approaching, and when he came, Li Xiu was also worried that Princess Pingyang was unwilling to return to Chang'an, if this was the case, then He Panren would build a quarantine ring around the courtyard, strictly prohibiting anyone from approaching here, so as to prevent smallpox from spreading to the mansion.

"Husband, the matter is urgent, I'll go and inform Sister Yiniang now, pack up my things and go back to the city immediately!" What He Panren didn't expect was that Princess Pingyang agreed without hesitation, but Li Xiu was not surprised at all, after all, for parents, the safety of their children is the most important thing.

After Princess Pingyang finished speaking, she immediately turned around and returned to the inner house, and then all the people in the house were mobilized, and began to pack up their things and prepare to return to the city, Li Xiu asked He Panren about the specific situation of the smallpox outbreak, but He Panren was a military general after all, and he rushed to the middle of the night after receiving the order, so he didn't know much about the smallpox epidemic, only that Qingtian County had been blocked, and as for the situation in Qingtian County, he almost didn't know anything.

As he was talking, he suddenly saw Sun Simiao walking over quickly with his clothes on, and when he saw Li Xiu, he immediately asked: "Don Ma, what's the matter, why are there so many officers and soldiers outside?" ”

"Daochang Sun, it's a big trouble, smallpox broke out in Qingtian County next door, I don't know if you have a cure?" Li Xiu first smiled bitterly, and then asked casually, but he didn't have much hope for Sun Simiao, after all, before the appearance of the smallpox vaccine in later generations, smallpox had always been one of the most lethal diseases.

Sure enough, when he heard the word 'smallpox', Sun Simiao's face also changed, and then he stepped forward and asked: "Don Ma, how is the epidemic now, has it spread?" ”

"We don't know about this, we just know that Qingtian County has been blocked now, and hope has not spread yet!" Li Xiu was also a little weak at this time, to deal with smallpox, a virulent infectious disease, there was only one way in ancient times, that is, to isolate the sick people, and then let these people struggle in the disease, this is not the cruelty of the ancients, but to prevent more people from dying of this disease.

"No, I have to rush over to take a look, even if I can't cure them, I can use my medical skills to relieve the pain of the patients!" Sun Simiao almost did not hesitate to make a decision, the so-called doctor is benevolent, even if he knows that he may face danger if he goes to the epidemic area, but Sun Simiao will never back down.

"I'm afraid this won't work, Qingtian County has been under martial law, I heard the brother over there say that the top has already ordered, don't say it's a person, even a bird doesn't want to pass through the border of Qingtian County, so I'm afraid this Taoist chief can't enter Qingtian County at all, and it's too dangerous there." He Panren didn't know Sun Simiao, but he saw that since the other party lived in Li Xiu's house, he must be a great person, so he persuaded him.

"Thank you for the kindness of this general, but Poor Dao has made up his mind, even if he meets His Majesty in person, he will go to the epidemic area in person!" Sun Simiao first thanked He Panren, but did not change his decision.

Li Xiu understood Sun Simiao's personality and knew that it was impossible for him to give up his plan to go to the epidemic area, so he pondered for a moment and then said: "Daochang Sun, if you want to go to the epidemic area, you must get Your Majesty's consent, it just so happens that we are also going to take refuge in the city, and I will also go to see Your Majesty to understand the situation later, so why don't you go into the city with me?" ”

"It's okay, then there's a labor horse!" Sun Simiao heard Li Xiu's suggestion and immediately agreed, although he cured the illness of Empress Changsun, but he did not accept Li Shimin's reward, he was still an outsider, so it was a little troublesome to enter the palace alone, and it would be much more convenient if Li Xiu took him.

Smallpox is a disease that can be distinguished from high and low, even if the emperor is infected, it is a life of nine deaths, Princess Pingyang and Yiniang are worried about the child, so everything is thrifty, just pack up the necessary supplies, immediately carry the child to the front yard, Yuechan also ordered someone to prepare the carriage, and then the family is ready to leave.

"Master, you go to Chang'an, someone must take care of the family, and there is also a tea workshop, which also needs to be arranged, so I will stay at home!" However, just when Li Xiu was about to board the carriage, he suddenly heard Yuechan next to him whisper, she was the big housekeeper of the family, and she was not worried about the family's property, so she proposed to stay.

"What kind of stupid thing, what is this little thing at home, even if it is all gone, I can get it out again, if you are not around, I can't even eat deliciously!" Li Xiu was stunned when he heard this, and then pulled Yuechan into the car.

Although Li Xiu already has two wives, his usual life is taken care of by Yuechan, and even the meals he eats are all arranged by Yuechan, especially after Yiniang and Princess Pingyang became pregnant and gave birth, Li Xiu couldn't do without Yuechan, without her, Li Xiu really couldn't live.

Although Li Xiu's attitude was a little rough, Yuechan felt sweet in her heart when she heard these words, and she didn't resist getting into the car at the moment, but after getting in the car, she still opened the car window and instructed the outside steward to do a lot of things, after all, the family and the outside industry can't really care, at least some arrangements need to be made.

After arranging the affairs of the family, Li Xiu's family immediately left the house under the protection of He Panren, and when they arrived in front of the gate of Chang'an, the sky was already bright, and the city gate should have been opened a long time ago, but at this time, the city gate was closed, and the soldiers on the city wall also looked nervous, and it was strictly forbidden for anyone to approach the city wall, after all, Qingtian County was too close to Chang'an City, if smallpox really spread to Chang'an, with the population density of Chang'an, the consequences were unimaginable.
