After Zhao Zhen returned to the dormitory, he was still restless after thinking about it, even his one-year-old son was dragging his clothes next to him, but he couldn't calm him down.

While feeding the child porridge, Zhang Rou asked, "Aren't you going to preside over the Northern Expedition ceremony today!" Why do you come back and feel restless? Did something go wrong with the Northern Expedition? ”

Zhao Zhen shook his head: "There is no problem with the Northern Expedition, I originally got it all done today, and I was planning to start tomorrow." Unexpectedly, Wu Ren in Tubo sent a warning, saying that there was an outbreak of smallpox in Tubo, didn't I panic! ”

"Smallpox?" Zhang Rou was at home with her children and did not participate in the Northern Expedition ceremony, and when she heard this strange and familiar name, she was not only stunned.

Zhao Zhen: "That's right! We hadn't experienced it at the time, but it spread quickly, had a very high mortality rate, and had a nickname, the 'Poor Man's Nuke'. Do you remember that little scar on your shoulder? That is the smallpox vaccine we were vaccinated against, also known as seedpox, and it is with this technology that the threat of smallpox has been eliminated. ”

Zhang Rou: "Then according to what you say, we haven't had pox since we crossed over, isn't it also very dangerous!" ”

Zhao Zhen nodded: "That's right!" It doesn't matter if you, I'm the emperor or the empress. ”

Zhang Rou: "I just heard you mention Wu Ren, he's fine!" Are you back? ”

Zhao Zhen shook his head and muttered: "No, this pit is really bold, just heard me casually mention the matter of pox before, he was ashamed to challenge smallpox, and said that he wanted to surprise me." I was not surprised when I saw it, I guess I was frightened! No, I'll have to send someone to get him back. ”

Zhang Rou sighed: "Wu Ren, this guy is very talented in medicine, and he has a very good spirit of study, it is indeed commendable, if he dies like this, it will be too worthless!" ”

Zhao Zhen touched his son's head, stood up, and said to Zhang Rou: "I'll go out first and find someone to arrest him back." ”

After a while, Shen Zhongyuan was called to Zhao Zhen: "The minister sees the emperor!" ”

Zhao Zhen waved his hand and said quickly: "No courtesy, no courtesy!" You immediately find a few people who have suffered from smallpox in the Jinyi Guard system, I have an emergency! ”

Shen Zhongyuan was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly responded: "Yes, Emperor!" Then I went to find it. ”

Zhao Zhen bowed his head, and Shen Zhongyuan was ordered to leave quickly.

A few days later, Shen Zhongyuan came to Zhao Zhen with a team of people, bowed down and said, "Emperor Qiqi, the people you want have brought you!" ”

"Subordinates see the emperor!" The remaining ten people also saluted, and Jia San, who had been an envoy to the Liao State, was also among them.

Zhao Zhen: "Let's be exempt!" I want you to go to Tibet to find Lord Wu Ren of the Research Institute, and there is an outbreak of smallpox over there, only you can guarantee that you will be able to get out of the way, and I hope you can bring him back for me! ”

Jia San, as the captain of this group, took the lead and replied: "Please rest assured, the emperor! Your subordinates will definitely complete the task! ”

Zhao Zhen nodded, wrote the desk, and wrote a letter to Wu Ren to persuade him to come back. However, at the end of the letter, he magically attached himself to the knowledge of the pox. In the end, I struggled for a while and didn't tear it off.

"Alas~" Zhao Zhen looked at the back of Jia San and the others leaving, and couldn't help but sigh.

……

Soon after, the events of the Song Kingdom were also rumored to the palace of King Xia, thousands of miles away. Because Zhao Zhen stopped the Northern Expedition, Li Yuanhao and Wang Qiu, who were happily plotting to build a state, also became a little depressed.

Li Yuanhao said depressedly: "Seeing that Song Liao is about to fight, this is a good time for this king to ascend the throne, but I didn't expect this little emperor of Song to be cowardly again, alas! ”

Wang Qiu persuaded: "Yes! Seeing that his subordinates' plan was about to succeed, he didn't expect this outlier to come out, it's really a human calculation! But then again, you really can't blame that little faint gentleman for being cowardly, only blame the smallpox for being really terrifying! ”

Li Yuanhao: "Then what do you mean?" Will the king's enthronement ceremony be held as scheduled, or will they wait for them to officially pinch up? ”

Wang Qiu: "In the opinion of my subordinates, let them pinch up, and let's sit back and reap the benefits of the fisherman!" Moreover, the subordinates heard from the spies that the Song Dynasty had ordered the closure of their capital roads and cut off their trade routes with Tibet, which was very beneficial to us. However, considering the rampant smallpox in Tibet, his subordinates suggested that the king should withdraw the army in Tibet as soon as possible, and only retain a small part of the troops to be responsible for guarding and strictly preventing smallpox from entering the territory of my Great Xia. ”

"Just do as you say, you can arrange it!" Li Yuanhao said slowly, and carefully put the dragon robe into his closet.

……

On the Tibetan grassland, the original world was full of vitality, and it can be said that the wind blows the grass and sees the cattle and sheep. But now, with the endless wars and rampant smallpox, the legendary place closest to heaven seems to have fallen into a dead silence, and the smell of the air seems to be full of blood and corpses.

Wu Ren and his entourage of more than 30 people were wrapped in tight headscarves, and even their faces were covered inside, revealing two eyes, like a group of "bandits" coming out of the mountain. The breeze on the prairie swept their clothes, and there seemed to be a smell of alcohol.

Wu Ren grabbed his eldest apprentice, Sun Tianfu, and said: "Remember the teacher's words, we must bring these Penicillium flavours that we have worked so hard to screen back to our Great Song Dynasty safely, hand them over to the Holy Lord, and say hello to the Holy Lord on behalf of the teacher!" ”

"Teacher, why don't you go back with us! Otherwise, when the Holy Lord asks, the students will not be able to explain! When Sun Tianfu was leaving, he still wanted to persuade again.

Wu Ren: "Don't persuade me, I have already thought about it, although this smallpox has brought disaster, it has also given the teacher a great opportunity." The teacher once heard the saint say that there is only one way to completely solve the threat of smallpox, and that is to find something similar to smallpox, and let it produce antibodies against smallpox in our body first, so that we don't have to be afraid of smallpox.

And this thing is on the cows, we are short of cows, and there are not so many cows, only in this land can cows be seen everywhere, plus there is smallpox at this time, which is suitable for the teacher to stay and do experiments. Zhang Long, Zhao Hu, Wang Dynasty, Ma Han, the four of you have been protecting me for so many years, and after working hard for you, I am asking you for the last time, you must bring these students of mine back safely, if someone is infected with smallpox on the way...... See for yourselves! ”

Wu Ren's mouth of Zhang Long, Zhao Hu Dynasty, Ma Han four, the original name is not called this, but the very rustic Zhang Da Zhao two kings, three horses and four, the reason why these bad names are called, is just because the master who adopted their four orphans is a lazy person, so according to the adoption order, add the place names when picking up people to form the names of their four brothers.

Zhao Zhen had also specifically looked for the four of them before, how to say that these were also the four masters he was familiar with. It's just that he miscalculated, he didn't expect that people would not be called this name, this name was given to them by Wu Ren after they and Wu Ren. And Zhao Zhen's oolong has not eased up yet.

The eldest Zhang Long took the lead and replied with his fists clenched: "My lord, our four brothers are not young with you, and they have never left you, you treat us well, this time our brothers can't leave anything, and our subordinates arrange for other brothers to escort your students back, and our brothers stay with you!" ”

Zhao Hu continued: "My lord, the eldest brother is right, we can't leave you here, otherwise we will have to clean up when we go back to the Holy Lord!" ”

Wang Dynasty: "My lord, we are not leaving, we are all martial arts people, we can't do such an unrighteous thing!" ”

"Don't go!" Mahan speaks less, but more directly.

Sun Tianfu: "Teacher, let's not leave!" ”

Wu Ren said loudly: "Don't mess around!" You students, are all talents cultivated by the teacher for the saint, and now that you have learned something, you should go back to serve the saint, you have to be with the teacher, that is to trap the teacher in disloyalty, understand? Immediately, pack up and go on the road, go back early, although we have sent back the warning signal before, but just in case, when you go to Chengdu Fulu to send out a part of the people to assist the tall people, this teacher will not arrange, you will all voluntarily! Go ahead! Go ahead! ”

Zhang Long still insisted: "My lord, my subordinates sent the third and fourth children to escort them to Chengdu Fu Road, and I will accompany you with the second child, and come back to find us after they hand over to Lord Gao." ”

"Alas! All right! I hope we can get out of it this time! Wu Ren patted him on the shoulder and sighed, and said to the person who was leaving: "Be careful all the way, you also pay attention to safety!" ”

"Adults (teachers) take care!" Wang Dynasty Mahan and the other students clasped their fists at him, and after saying goodbye, they set out on the way home.

At the same time, Jia Sanyi and his entourage, who received the task, were also rushing on Jingcheng Avenue, rapidly advancing towards Chengdu Mansion. Now that Jingcheng Avenue has been closed, this avenue has lost its former prosperity, and it looks empty, and the sound of horses' hooves of Jia Sanyi and his party is particularly loud.

Half a month later, Jia San's team also rushed to Chengdu Fu Road, and he was going to Gao Jixuan to inquire about the whereabouts of Wu Ren and the others.

Jia San took his brother to the mansion and posted his name to Gao Jixuan, the envoy of the scripture, and was invited to the living room after that.

Jia San stepped forward and bowed: "My subordinates will meet the envoy of the scripture!" ”

Gao Jixuan: "No courtesy! I don't know what you need to do to find your own official? ”

Jia San: "Lord Hui, my subordinates were ordered by the Holy Lord to go to Tubo to find Lord Wu Ren of the Research Institute. However, his subordinates are not familiar with Tubo, and they don't know the whereabouts of Lord Wu Ren, so they hope that the adults will tell one or two. ”

Gao Jixuan: "Oh! What a thing! Then you guys are really coincidental, those students of Lord Wu Ren also happened to arrive in my Chengdu Mansion yesterday, but they are worried that they are infected with smallpox, and they are still in quarantine for observation. Therefore, you may have to wait half a month to meet them. ”

Jia San: "My lord, I don't know if my subordinates can go to see them now, time waits for no one, and my subordinates have to complete the task assigned by the saint as soon as possible." ”

Gao Jixuan: "Aren't you afraid of smallpox?" ”

Jia San smiled and said: "Lord Hui, the subordinates and others were specially selected by the saint, look at the pockmarks on our faces, it was exchanged for smallpox when we were children!" ”

Gao Jixuan smiled: "I see! Then the official will send someone to send you over! ”

Jia San: "Thank you, sir!" ”

Soon after, under the arrangement of Gao Jixuan, Jia Sanyi's team found the quarantine area of Wang Dynasty Mahan and others. Several people refused the protective clothing and masks sent by the staff and walked straight in, while the veiled Wang Dynasty Mahan and others were also curiously looking at these ten guys who were "not afraid of death".

Jia Sanyi saw that all of them were masked people, and he couldn't tell the difference, so he had to shout loudly: "May I ask which one is Lord Wu Ren's student?" ”

Sun Tianfu was about to stand up, but Wang Chao pulled him behind him, stepped forward and asked, "I don't know what you guys are doing?" What are they talking about? ”

Jia San arched his hand: "This brother, in Xia Jia San, we were ordered to go to Tubo to find Lord Wu Ren, and now I heard that Lord Wu Ren's students are here, so I came to find out about the situation!" ”

Dynasty: "Please show the token!" ”

Jia San saw that his style was somewhat similar to that of himself and others, so he didn't think much about it, and showed his waist card of Jinyiwei.

After verifying his identity, Wang Dynasty said politely: "Captain Jia, it's hard work!" Below is Lord Wu Ren's guard, my name is Wang Dynasty, this is my brother Mahan, I don't know why you came in without protection? It's a dangerous place! ”

Jia San smiled and said: "Brother Wang is too worried, you see that we pockmarks are usually not likable, but they are still very useful at this critical time!" Please also ask Brother Wang to inform me of Lord Wu Ren's situation! ”

"Hahaha! Brother Jia is so humorous! Wang Chao smiled: "Don't worry, our brother will take you to Lord Wu Ren!" (To be continued.) )
