In the north of the city at night, there is not a single fire in sight.

Those once prosperous workshops are now lifeless.

The plague can't be delayed for a moment. Therefore, Xia Huan could only stay all night, racing against time.

"Your Highness, the people in this workshop have all been dealt with." Behind Xia Huan, Yu Meng covered his mouth and nose with a white cloth and said.

Xia Huan nodded, looked at a palace guard on the side and asked, "When you came back and passed by the workshops along the way, did you meet anyone who was not sick?" ”

The palace guard hesitated slightly, and then said, "Yes, yes, and it's not far from here." It's just that the people in the workshop are extremely wary of us......"

Xia Huan's thoughts, the palace guard may have guessed a little. It's just that in his image, Xia Huan has always respected others very much, and he shouldn't be embarrassed.

However, what he didn't expect was that Xia Huan shook his hand.

"A workshop, a man in the prime of life, at most a few dozen people. By my commandment, I left fifty men to watch over the sick, and the rest went with me to the workshop. Yu Meng! ”

"The last general!"

"The armor is in front, but there are those who resist, and there is no mercy!"

"Whoa!"

Yu Meng, like Chen Zhaoming, is a resolute person. Chang Xiujun has also been deeply influenced by him in the more than half a month that he has been following.

A long pole, under the faint moonlight, looks cold.

In this workshop, there are not many people who are infected, only ten. However, for the sake of safety, Xia Huan still decided to leave fifty people behind to take care of the family members who came into contact with these patients.

As for those who were already sick, Xia Huan was not cold-blooded enough to directly execute them. Instead, he left behind a physician and three apprentices to decoct medicine for them.

Of course, for safety reasons, doctors and apprentices will only boil the medicine and leave it at the door, but let the patients get it themselves.

In fact, Xia Huan himself knows it in his heart. The root cause of this plague is the growth of bacteria, and in this day and age, there are simply no antibiotics available.

Those Chinese medicinal materials can play a role, but they are just comforting to Liao Yi's heart.

The real role of those healers is not to treat the sick, but to prevent the living.

Leaving the previous workshop, there were suddenly more than 200 more people in the team. It's just that there is no one in the team of more than 1,600 people who make a sound at this moment.

Yes, it's just the rustling of footsteps and the sound of horses' hooves and wheels.

The workshop in the north of Yingshang City is not so much a single workshop as a small village with the workshop as the core. Moreover, the distance between these villages is not far.

To get to the workshop where no one was sick in the mouth of the palace guard, you had to pass five or six similar workshops along the way.

And in these workshops, there are also many sick people. Xia Huan's handling method is still exactly the same as that of the first workshop.

However, although there are sick people in these workshops, the vast majority of them are healthy.

Because they had to move again, there were many old and weak women and children in the workshop, so the speed of Xia Huan and his party was not fast.

The distance was about five or six miles, but it took nearly three hours.

By the time Xia Huan arrived at his destination, there were already nearly 3,000 people in the team.

"Oh no! Oh no! ”

Inside the workshop, a young man who was supposed to be on guard shouted as if he had seen something terrible.

"What's wrong! What's wrong! Is someone going to enter our workshop? ”

"Get the guy!"

Soon, in the workshop, the men in charge of the house ran out of the house with torches in one hand and simple homemade weapons in the other.

"Everyone quickly block the intersections, the government is coming to encircle and suppress us!" The young man from before was still screaming.

"Bang!"

However, suddenly, he seemed to be hit on the head by something.

He grinned and clutched the smashed place, and before he could see who had attacked him, an angry voice rang in his ears.

"Hugh wants to talk nonsense, His Royal Highness loves the people like a son, how can he send troops to kill us!"

Looking for the voice, the young man saw the owner of the voice clearly, it was the boy of the Wang family, Wang Yan.

Although Wang Yan didn't learn much about the craft of papermaking, he was born very powerful, and he loved to fight and cause trouble since he was a child, otherwise how could he be so eager to join the army.

The young man, seeing Wang Yan's angry face, hurriedly said, "Brother Yan is really! At the entrance of the village, at least no less than 2,000 people came, who else could it be if it wasn't an official or an army? ”

"Nonsense!" Wang Yan, who was angry, immediately wanted to step forward and beat the person in front of him.

The young man retreated with a wince, and at the same time looked at the royal father behind Wang Yan with some help.

It's just that to his disappointment. The royal father did not stop Wang Yan, but looked at him with some anger.

Wang Yan can fight, although he has reined in a little after becoming a family, but in the hearts of all his peers, it is still inviolable.

And the royal father is a highly respected person in the community. The father and son of the Wang family, none of them can be provoked by him.

Seeing this, the young man could only immediately change his mouth and say, "Brother Yan, don't be like this!" I didn't say anything about the little brother, that's the Seventh Highness! Those officers and soldiers are obviously not the Changxiu Army of the Seventh Highness, they must have come from Shoudu. ”

The young man's words made Wang Yan's face slightly better.

Xia Huan has a grace to their family, and it is worth his sacrifice to forget his death. However, this does not mean that except for Xia Huan's unexpected Chu State officials, he can easily take his life.

Everyone understands how to deal with plagues since ancient times, and he also wants to live.

They are a safe workshop and no one gets sick. Therefore, the desire to survive is stronger than in other workshops.

"Brother Yan, you better go to the intersection quickly, how can you be missing there." Seeing that he had escaped, the young man immediately said again.

"Got it!" Wang Yan glanced at the royal father, then clenched the sharpened wooden stick in his hand and ran towards the intersection.

The only intersection into the workshop has been blocked by the people in the workshop, with things, layer by layer.

Xia Huan has also reported his identity twice and three times, explaining his intentions.

However, this group of people still did not want to believe it.

Xia Huan didn't want to add any more lives to it, but if they were still unwilling to give up, Xia Huan could only attack.

"Ready!"

With Xia Huan's order, hundreds of armor soldiers put up their weapons one after another, just waiting for Xia Huan's next order.

"Wait a minute!"

However, just when Xia Huan was about to open his mouth, a person was squeezed out of the people opposite.

This person threw away the wooden stick in his hand, climbed over those obstacles, and ran towards Xia Huan with some excitement.

Wang Yan ran in front of Xia Huan excitedly, and even forgot to kneel.

"The villain Wang Yan, I have seen His Highness! The village man, who doesn't understand etiquette, neglects His Highness. Please also ask Your Highness, follow the villain, and enter the workshop together! ”

"You are Wang Yan!" By the light of the fire, Xia Huan also recognized the person in front of him.
