Chapter 120: Smallpox!

PS: It's late for an update in the morning, sorry~~

"Young master, let's go to Qianniu Mountain, and we'll see Chang'an in a while!" Laifu's voice sounded a little excited.

Although he and Tie Dan changed cars all the way, it took almost a month to return to Chang'an from Xizhou, and the Qianniu Mountain outside Chang'an City had long lost its previous greenery, and the bare branches exuded the breath of depression.

Wang Xiang put down the curtain of the carriage, frowned slightly, and the closer he got to Chang'an, the stronger the uneasiness in his heart.

Ju Yiya saw Wang Xiang's uneasiness, obediently held his hand, and rested her head on his shoulder.

Li Huiming has recovered his spirits, and he is excited at this time, this product is really heartless, he doesn't want to go to Gaochang when he lives in Chang'an, and he doesn't want to go back to Chang'an when he is happy in Gaochang, and now he is excited when he thinks of the prosperity of Chang'an.

"Brother Wang, how long have we been away from Chang'an?"

"It's been half a year."

"Half-year ......"

Wang Xiang thought that this thing was going to say something, but after holding it for a long time, he burst out of a sentence: "I don't know if Miss Mo'er from Wanxiang Building still remembers me, I spent the night before I left Chang'an." ”

……

No one paid attention to the hopelessly Li Huiming, perhaps because he was eager to return home, and the speed of the carriage seemed to be a lot faster.

The galloping carriage suddenly stopped, and the people in the carriage couldn't help but lean forward, Wang Xiang frowned and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Laifu, who was sitting in front of the car, whispered: "Young master, Chang'an seems to have sealed the city gate." ”

Lockdown gates? It's only now, and it's just over time, how can the city gate be sealed?

Wang Xiang opened the curtain in front of the carriage in confusion, the vermilion gate of Yanping Gate was tightly closed, and there were many guards guarding the door. A guardrail was erected at the gates of the city. Many people were barricaded from the guardrails. No matter how much they cried and begged, the guards guarding the door were unmoved.

What disturbed Wang Xiang the most was that these guards guarding the door were covered with cloth scarves on their faces, and the cloth scarves they wore were obviously different from the ones Ju Yiya wore on her face.

"Get out of the way!"

The vermilion door suddenly and slowly opened, and an eager voice came from inside.

The guards and civilians gathered outside the door all took a few steps back in unison, looking terrified, as if they were afraid of being contaminated by something.

As soon as the city gate opened, Wang Xiang saw several guards who also covered their mouths and noses with cloth towels pushing a wooden cart out, and several motionless ...... were piled up on the cart Dead person.

Some people don't seem to be dead, but they're all dying.

As soon as the wooden cart was pushed out, the surrounding people retreated farther, and several wooden carts followed behind. Above were several people bound with ropes, all with rags in their mouths, and one of the sturdy women broke free from the rags in their mouths and cursed, but no one was willing to come forward and re-stuff her.

"I don't have smallpox at all, you guys who kill a thousand knives are pushing me to death, let me go! Let me go! ”

Smallpox! Wang Xiang carefully saw the appearance of the people on the wooden cart, and suddenly felt a chill in his heart. Hearing the word "smallpox", the faces of the people in the carriage also changed dramatically.

It wasn't until the wooden cart was far away that the surrounding people gathered around and tried to rush into the door, but when the last wooden cart came out, the vermilion gate was quickly closed, and the guards guarding the door were all out of the sheath, revealing a real murderous aura. There have been people who have lost their lives because they broke into the city gates.

Laifu drove the carriage to Yanping Gate and was also stopped by the guards, and the carriage prepared by Ju Wenya was extremely luxurious. The guards knew that the identity of the people in the carriage was not ordinary, and although they stopped the carriage, their tone was much softer: "Your Majesty has an order, no one is allowed to enter Chang'an, please forgive me." ”

Listening to the guard's words, Laifu was unhappy, raised his head and said, "Do you know who my young master is?" ”

The guard frowned, he didn't care who it was at this time.

Laifu said unconsciously: "My young master is the new prince of Jiayuan, and now he is Gao Changyu!" As Wang Xiang's status becomes more and more prominent, and his vision is getting higher and higher, Laifu is also a little bit of a fox and a fake tiger.

Hearing Laifu's words, the guard's face changed slightly, although Wang Xiang left Chang'an for half a year, but his fame has not diminished at all, a wine shop, Dengxian Lou has long been popular in Chang'an, and the Gewu Academy is now also thriving, in the past, it was only the poor people who wanted to send their children to the Gewuyuan, and now many wealthy families are squeezing their heads to send the children of the family to the Gewuyuan.

Since Wang Xiang dedicated the gunpowder to Li Er and said that the gunpowder is also the result of Gewu, Li Er has paid more and more attention to the Gewu Academy, although Wang Xiang is still the judge of the Gewu Academy, but the official position of this court judgment has been promoted from the fifth grade to the third grade, and the imperial historian is a grade, and then up is the third grade of the Chinese book order and the six books.

You can get a knighthood by virtue of Zuyin, but the official position is definitely not obtained by virtue of Zuyin, even if the Tang Dynasty horses are mostly idle positions of six or seven grades. Wang Xiang became a member of the Sanpin before he was twenty years old, which is unique in the Tang Dynasty, which shows Li Er's attention and favor to him, plus everyone knows that His Royal Highness the King of Jin and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince are close to Wang Xiang, and the guards feel extremely headache.

Laifu looked at the embarrassed guard triumphantly, and was about to say something more when he suddenly heard Wang Xiang's voice from behind.

"You don't have to be embarrassed, let's not go in first."

"Young Master!" Laifu looked back at Wang Xiang with a surprised expression.

Wang Xiang ignored Laifu and said to the guards with a serious face: "You go and send someone to the Zhaoguo Mansion to find the eldest grandson, and tell him that I am back, and I have a way for smallpox." ”

The tone was flat, but the guard was stunned for a moment.

It's smallpox! Smallpox is more terrible than any drought or locust plague!

Seeing the guards in a daze, Wang Xiang frowned and said, "Don't go quickly!" Although he was very calm, he was actually more anxious than anyone else, what happened to Chang'an City, and what happened to the Marquis of Lin Chuan, he didn't know anything at all.

The guard reacted and nodded hurriedly, "I'll go now." ”

He didn't think what Wang Xiang said was true, and felt that he probably wanted the eldest grandson to open his mouth and let them into the city.

The gate opened a small opening, and as soon as the guards entered, they closed it again.

After the guards left, Laifu parked the carriage aside and asked curiously, "Young master, do you really have a way?" ”

Wang Xiang didn't speak with a gloomy face, and Laifu didn't dare to ask more when he saw that Wang Xiang's face was not good, and the others were worried.

It didn't take long for the vermilion door to open again, and a chubby figure came out quickly.

The Tang army's defeat of the Turkic army of 300,000 was a great joy, and when the news came back, the whole Chang'an was a sensation, but the sudden smallpox was like a basin of cold water, pouring away the enthusiasm of Chang'an, and the whole Chang'an people were panicking.

As soon as the eldest grandson Wuji went out, he saw Wang Xiang standing outside walking forward quickly, and said hurriedly: "Nephew Wang Xian, do you really have a way to cure smallpox?" (To be continued......)
