Chapter XVIII: The Plague

Qin Ziyuan has been holding out for seven days, and he can see people being carried out every day, among these people are familiar fellow villagers, and there are strangers who are familiar with each other, and the common point is that they are all recruits from all over the world. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

He always felt that he shouldn't die here, just like the second brother said, this may just be a test given to him by the Heavenly Mother, to "suffer his mind" or something.

But on the eighth day, he finally couldn't hold it anymore.

After days of torrential rains, the floodwaters swelled, and the simple straw huts leaked and finally collapsed, and they could no longer stay on the hills, so they had to brave the rain to move to the city. However, Weicheng itself is not very large, and there is no place to house nearly 20,000 people, and in the end it can only clean up some broken temples and abandoned houses, but it can still only accommodate a very small number of levitees. Jiang Qiao and the Qin brothers worked hard to finally occupy a place in an abandoned house.

Some have gathered and fled.

Jiang Qiao was fortunate to witness the whole process of instigation and incitement by those leading men, and knew that this was probably the "Chen Sheng" of Daqi.

He cares more about his brother in front of him than about his future fate. Qin Ziyuan had symptoms of coughing up blood, and Weicheng Ling also quietly began to investigate and isolate the patient, Jiang Qiao knew that there was probably something worse that had happened, and these changes were too terrible to be leaked.

He already had a guess.

- The Plague.

Qin Ziqing was not stupid, he obviously thought of that possibility. He couldn't let the Weicheng Order take Qin Ziyuan away, so he had to escape with him before the people who investigated arrived!

"Brother Qiao, I won't hide it from you, I'm afraid Xiao Yuan is...... Infected with the plague. Qin Ziyuan glanced at the dense crowd, approached Jiang Qiao and lowered his voice, restrained the urge to cry and said: "You treat our brother very well, I can't harm you, take care of yourself!" ”

"Where can you go?" Jiang Qiao's face sank, "In this world, only my brother is sorry for my Jiang Qiao, and there is no Jiang Qiao who can't stand my brother!" ”

Qin Ziqing clenched his fists, and his heart was hot when Jiang Qiao's words were spoken. He knew that Jiang Qiao was not polite words, and the three of them had been dependent on each other for more than a month, and they all treated each other as brothers.

"We're going to get out of here as soon as possible." Qin Ziqing no longer made superfluous politeness, and said directly: "Otherwise, they will take Xiao Yuan to be locked up with those patients, and then they will ...... He will surely die. ”

Jiang Qiao looked at the pouring rain outside the window, and responded in a low voice, but his heart was a mess. How to go? Where to go? After being drenched in such a heavy rain, can Little Brother Qin still live? He sighed softly, and finally said to Qin Ziqing: "You wait for me here for half a day, and I'll arrange it." ”

"Brother Qiao!" Qin Ziqing couldn't stop it, so he could only watch Jiang Qiao rush into the rain curtain and gradually disappear.

Jiang Qiao was drenched by the rain jacket, but he came out, and there was no reason to return in vain, so he could only run wildly all the way, hoping to find a hidden place to hide, and then go into the mountains and forests of the space to steal the medicinal materials of the two tiger brothers.

- Although he didn't know a few medicinal herbs at all, Brother Tiger didn't necessarily have them, and he ...... You can't steal it.

The rain was too dense, Jiang Qiao's eyes were stabbed by the rain, he couldn't see the road ahead in a hazy way, and his ears were full of rain, he rushed all the way without a head or brain, and a thunder suddenly exploded in his ears, he was keenly aware of the danger, and immediately turned sideways with a sharp brake, narrowly avoiding a snowy knife.

"What people! Dare to collide with the county lord! ”

Jiang Qiao raised his sleeve and wiped his eyes fiercely, only then did he see that there was a magnificent and brilliant carriage parked in the center of the street, and a team of elite soldiers wearing armor was guarding each side of the car. Jiang Qiao noticed that both the horses pulling the cart and the horses under Jingwei's crotch were all extraordinary, and they gave him a ridiculous sense of familiarity.

But now is not the time to pursue that inexplicable sense of familiarity.

Jiang Qiao raised his arm to cover his forehead from the rain washing his eyes, and glanced at the man who stabbed him with a knife. This man is riding on a horse, looking like he is in his forties, his clothing status is higher than those Jingwei, his face is crisscrossed with seven or eight scars, his eyes are gloomy and slightly bloody, he is a ruthless character.

"The villain is a recruiter who was recruited to build the embankment of the Wei River, and he has no intention of offending the county lord, and he hopes that the lord will be in the sea." Jiang Qiao hugged his fists and bowed to the man, hoping to end this trouble as soon as possible.

That man obviously had the same idea, but his way was not what Jiang Qiao liked.

He directly swung the knife and was about to cut off Jiang Qiao's low-hanging neck!

Jiang Qiao's eyes sharpened, and he dodged again, and his words brought out a bit of anger: "What do you mean, my lord?" ”

The man sneered and was about to answer, when he suddenly heard a soft female voice in the carriage shout softly: "Commander Li." ”

"Humble duty!" The man hugged his fist against the curtain on the horse, and looked as docile as a dog respectfully, without the arrogance and ruthlessness he had when he treated Jiang Qiao before.

"Today is to celebrate my aunt's birthday, and it is not appropriate to kill." The woman seemed to laugh coquettishly, but her low voice was clearly arrogant and cold-blooded: "Just leave a thigh, he likes to run around, just give him a long memory!" ”

"Yes!"

Jiang Qiao's heart sank, knowing that he couldn't be good. He stared at the sharp knife in the man's hand, and thought quickly about how big his face might be remembered, and how to escape without exposing the space.

The man rode his horse and approached Jiang Qiao, grinning and revealing a mouthful of white teeth: "I know you have a few hits, but your Grandpa Li's knife is not vegetarian." Don't worry, I will definitely chop up the belt meat for you with a knife, and I will never let you tear it yourself. ”

This is a mad butcher who loves to kill, loves to harvest human life, and loves to listen to the cries of the weak. Jiang Qiao defined him, but his eyes couldn't help but scorn him.

This is the army raised by Daqi, as soon as it is said that it will be coaxed into an egg to defend against foreign races, and it will be ruthless with the common people, but all of them are good hands!

"You can try." Jiang Qiao's eyes twitched, and his smile was strange and dangerous.

Never trust a big guy that he is no longer a threat just because he doesn't dry his hands; And don't think that everyone who says "I'll go back to my hometown and get married after this vote" will die.

Jiang Qiao is always Jiang Qiao, even if he is no longer ambitious, he is also the same Jiang Qiao who fought with wild dogs and put down half of the big men in the business world!

The two faced each other, and the scene suddenly became solemn.

The rain was still pouring down frantically, Jiang Qiao's clothes were already soaked, Mayday still felt cold, and his hair was wet and sticky to his neck.

— but he didn't move.

The horse under the man's crotch suddenly wanted to retreat, but after being stopped by pulling the reins, he kept raising his hooves and flicking his tail, looking restless and restless.

It instinctively feared the man in front of it.

Jiang Qiao laughed softly. Animals are sometimes smarter than men, at least they don't die at will; People are different, there are always some people who like to be stupid, to see a gentleman's symbolic concession as fear, and then continue to be stupid with complacency. For those who are happy to provoke him, although Mr. Jiang will not be afraid, he will also feel annoyed.

"Look for death!" The man was anxious to get out of the aura created by Jiang Qiao, and immediately raised his sharp knife to stab him in the heart.

Jiang Qiao was ready to fight back, but—

"Slow."

It was the woman in the carriage as usual, and she slowly spat out a word, and stretched out a blood-red nail to open the curtain.

Jiang Qiao saw a charming face through the rain curtain.

"What's your name?" The woman seemed to be a little interested in him.

"Jiang Qiao."

"You're a husband?"

Jiang Qiao refused to answer the stupid question that had already been stated.

"It's not a small temper." The woman seemed to be angry, but her voice was a little lower, "I like you very much, would you like to go with me?" ”

Jiang Qiao pursed his lips, a little unaware of where this woman's confidence came from. After delaying so much time, he was already impatient, and Junior Brother Qin couldn't afford to wait! Seeing that the woman was still verbose, he directly cleared his throat and asked her casually, "What's the benefit of going with you?" ”

The county lord, her father is a prince with heavy soldiers. The prince is very powerful? The army is powerful? There is a kind of fight with the barbarians, don't rely on selling women to eat enough! If he wants to, he will still be the emperor of the earth every minute!

"There are signs of plague in Weicheng, if you don't go with me, you won't be afraid of dying here?"

Jiang Qiao felt sorry for Weicheng Ling for a second. The things that were so hard to cover up were said by a loser woman like this, and it was pitiful to think about it. But...... Jiang Qiao's heart moved slightly, and when he looked at the woman again, he was a little more tentative: "The county lord dares to enter Weicheng at this time, could it be that there is a medicine that can cure the plague?" ”

"The lord of this county is noble and noble, so naturally he will not risk his life!"

The woman replied arrogantly, but Jiang Qiao had already made a decision:

"Xiaomin Jiangqiao, I am willing to follow the county lord."
