Chapter Fifty-Nine: Shocking News
"Is it a plague?" Du He still remembers that he met Li Yifeng a day ago, and he was basically no different from ordinary people at that time, but in just a few days, he was inexplicably infected with the epidemic, which really made people feel incredible and unbelievable, and said in his heart: "Could it be ulterior motives?" ”
He secretly aimed at Ba Yuxing behind Zhou Zhenwei.
Ba Yuxing nodded secretly, indicating that everything was true.
Du He believed it at this time, and was faintly worried, paused, and said: "Pavilion Master Zhou, I met Brother Li once, although our positions were different, but we did have a heart-to-heart relationship at that time. I can't die here without help, but you should also be aware of your special identity. It is better than this, as long as you are willing to surrender your weapons and accept our control. I can not regard you as enemies, and do my best to heal Brother Li. Ugly words must be said ahead, and if you have any intention during this period, do not blame my men for being ruthless. ”
Zhou Zhenwei also knows that his identity is special, even if Du He kills them all at the moment, it is reasonable, it is very good to have this situation, it shows that Li Yifeng is right, this Du He is a person who values love and righteousness, if it were not for this, he would never have preferential treatment for himself in this situation, it seems that he made the right move. Immediately said: "General Du is so reasonable, Zhou has nothing to say, everything is up to the general!" As he spoke, he handed the pair of bloody swords in his hand to the soldier next to him.
Seeing Zhou Zhenwei's approval, others also surrendered their weapons one after another.
"Two barracks were vacated, one for Pavilion Master Zhou and others to live in, and the other for Brother Li and some sick people to live. There was also an order that all soldiers should not go near the tent of the sick camp. Du He gave the order with a heavy heart.
Zhou Zhenwei and the others were divided into two places and let the soldiers take them down in turn.
After Zhou Zhenwei and the others left, Su Dingfang said with some seriousness: "Brother Du, are you treating them too well." Remember, they are rebellious, and no dynasty will show mercy to rebellion. As a person in the court, the most taboo thing is to have an intersection with rebellion, let alone have a close relationship. He has been in the court for a long time, and he also knows some taboo things, seeing that Du He is commensurate with Li Yifeng's friends, and he treats Zhou Zhenwei and others with some kindness, he is kind enough to persuade him.
Du He knew his good intentions, and smiled to show that he understood, but there was something in his heart, and he could see it at a glance.
"Brother Du, what did you think?" Su Dingfang saw that Du He had something on his mind, and he was the kind of person who couldn't hide his words from his friends, so he asked directly.
Du He said in a deep voice: "I have some ideas, this epidemic has a source, I have been in the Hidden Dragon Valley for a month, and I have never heard of a disease in the valley. Brother Li has been here this time, presumably the source of this epidemic is not here, but somewhere else. That's a great thing......"
Su Dingfang will also realize that if the source of the plague is in a dense place, then the matter will not be trivial.
Du Heqiang smiled and said, "Maybe I'm thinking too much, it's not clear whether it's an epidemic or not!"
However, in a moment, Du He received the news from the military doctor, and after repeated investigations, it was indeed an epidemic, and it was an unseen and unheard of epidemic.
The four sick Li Yifeng, Cao Yi, Han Fenghan, and Zhou Lingling all fainted and died one after another, unconscious. This is different from the ordinary coma, the few of them are like sleeping, the heartbeat and pulse are no different from normal people, except that they do not wake up, as if they are asleep.
As soon as Du He heard that it was really an epidemic, he immediately isolated Li Yifeng, Cao Yi, Han Fenghan, and Zhou Lingling, went to the camp where Zhou Zhenwei lived, asked about the situation before the epidemic occurred, and immediately passed the news to Liu Renliang, the assassin of Hangzhou, asking him to pay attention to whether there was a similar example in the territory, and at the same time, he also asked him to pass the news to the assassin history in other places in the south of the Yangtze River, so that they could pay attention.
For the sake of safety, Du He even asked Tuoba Wushuang to return to Chang'an and ask the medicine king Sun Simiao to go south, not only to save Li Yifeng, Cao Yi, Han Fenghan, Zhou Lingling and others, but also to prevent accidents.
The plague could not be surrounded in Du He's heart.
The situation in the Hidden Dragon Valley was very good, and the people in the valley were completely starved of food the day after Duhe set the fire, and they began to starve.
At this time, Duho specially let people beat a few roe deer on the mountain, roast and play in the downwind, and the fragrance is overflowing, tempting the people in the valley.
Thirdly, some people could not support it, and some guards began to come and surrender.
Du He entertained with great fanfare, and invited the surrendered soldiers to eat a full meal.
When the guards guarding the valley saw the surrender, they not only did not ask about the crime, but instead sent good food, where to stay, and they all ran to the Tang army!
Chen Ziyu was in a hurry and killed six deserters in a row, in order to make an example of the chickens and monkeys.
As a result, the monkey did not set an example, and this move completely angered the soldiers, and they tied up Chen Ziyu and sent him to the Tang camp.
The other people in the valley saw that the boss had been captured by the Tang army, and they also lost the meaning of resisting, and they all confessed and surrendered one by one.
Under Du He's step-by-step camp, it took more than half a year to finally wipe out the remnants of Li Jiancheng. Except for the rescue of Ba Yuxing, they injured several brothers, and from beginning to end they had zero deaths, which can be described as a great success.
Du He took a military ship to escort all the captives from the Qiantang River to anchor and dock, and announced the treason charges of Chen Ziyu, Yun Zhuo, Zhou Zhenwei, Miao Qing and others as an inspector of Jiangnan, and seized the Zhenwei Martial Arts Hall, and some families who supported Chen Ziyu also raided their homes and family belongings, and escorted them to Chang'an.
Suddenly, people in Jiangnan were panicked.
In handling official business and fighting for the plague, Du He also found Liu Renliang.
While congratulating Du He on his success, Liu Renliang also told Du He about these words and the results of their investigation.
"My lord, I thought that I would pass on the meaning of the adult to the assassin history in various places, and after investigation, I got a unanimous response, and there was no incurable disease that caused spots and dizziness as mentioned by the adults in various places, but what happened?" Liu Renliang used to be Du He's subordinate, and he knew the strategy of his boss, and he knew that he would not do meaningless things. Although he didn't know why he did this, he didn't hesitate to carry out his words. It's just that no matter how deeply Liu Renliang investigated, he didn't find anything. The same is true of the history of assassination in other places, until it is true that the surname himself does not have any mistakes, and he does not come to report the matter.
Du He kept this matter in mind until he heard Liu Renliang say this, and he was relieved. With Liu Renliang's carefulness, he said that if there is none, there must be none.
Although Liu Renliang had been transferred out of his command and became the assassin of Yizhou, Du He still regarded him as his own and did not hide it, so he also told him about Li Yifeng's situation.
Liu Renliang nodded in agreement: "What my lord is worried about is that this concern for the people, Renliang is ashamed of himself, and I will pay attention to this regard." ”
Du He smiled and encouraged: "Do a good job!" A state stabs the history and benefits one party. As long as you can achieve results, with your talent, I believe that you will soon be transferred back to Chang'an, become a Beijing official, and show your strengths. ”
Du He said goodbye to Liu Renliang and rushed to Longjing Village non-stop to meet Wu Meiniang.
Wu Meiniang smiled and congratulated Du Heqi on his victory, but her face was a little sad. The thief was caught, which means they don't have to pretend to be a couple.
Neither of them spoke, and the atmosphere was unexpectedly awkward.
After a long time, Wu Meiniang asked, "When will you leave?" Can you take a tour of West Lake with me one last time? Those seductive eyes looked expectantly.
"Escorting the prisoners is urgent...... Du He saw Wu Meiniang's gloomy expression, a faint pain in his heart, pity rose, and his heartstrings trembled faintly, and he changed his words: "But it will take some time to raid the house, and I will leave tomorrow!" When leaving, it is not impossible to take a tour of West Lake. ”
Wu Meiniang "giggled", her pretty face was sunny after the rain, and said with a smile: "Then let's go!" Saying that, he naturally took Du He's arm and walked to the West Lake affectionately.
Du He shook his head and smiled bitterly, and he didn't know if Wu Meiniang was really sad or fake sad before.
The Tang Dynasty had an open atmosphere, and it was not uncommon to hug and play like this, and no one said anything, but they were handsome men and women, and they were extremely rare talented and beautiful women, and they still attracted the attention of many people.
The West Lake is still beautiful, but the hearts of the two people are full of the sadness of parting, and the itinerary is inevitably filled with a sentiment called sadness.
But without the sadness of parting, where will there be the joy of reunion?
Although they were reluctant, the two still said goodbye that night.
Du He returned to his residence and was confronted with the news that Li Yifeng had woken up.
Du He was overjoyed: "So it's a false alarm, Brother Li is fine!" ”
The guard in charge of guarding Li Yifeng shook his head and said, "No, the doctor said that the situation is more serious." ”
Du He was secretly shocked and walked straight to Li Yifeng's house.
It was the most remote room in the mansion, and before I got closer, I heard a low roar from the house, which was Li Yifeng's voice.
When he came to the door of the room and looked inside, he was immediately surprised, in front of him, Li Yifeng's limbs were tied, his body kept twisting, as if he was suffering a lot of pain, and he couldn't help but say: "How can this be?" ”
The doctor came out helplessly and said, "I don't know why, this epidemic is so weird. After the patient woke up, his whole body was like thousands of ants crawling, itching and unbearable, scratching indiscriminately, and even not knowing what the pain was, the body of the scratch was bloody, making him scratch it, which was unimaginable. Expedient, can only tie him up. There's nothing I can do about it. This plague is really weird, General, you better ask for another skill! ”
Looking at Li Yifeng, who is difficult to control, Du He empathizes, a person can bear pain, but he can't tolerate itching, even if he is strong.
Du He thought of a cure for skin diseases, and asked people to prepare tea water to wash his body.
This tea water seems to have a miraculous effect, Li Yifeng let the tea water wash the toilet, and immediately fell asleep.
Du He was concerned about Li Yifeng's condition, and did not wait for dawn to rush overnight, intending to meet Sun Simiao as soon as possible.
When they left Hangzhou and approached Suzhou, they got a piece of news!
An earth-shattering, appalling news!
