Chapter 176: Infection
After Qin Shao left Yao Chi, he went to the outskirts of the city...
Chu Jiao's waist and knees were sore all day, and as soon as she opened her eyes, it was dark, and when Red Sleeves saw the marks on her neck, she couldn't help laughing.
"What about him?"
"The prince said, when you wake up and eat something, he will go to the outskirts of the city to do something."
"What's going on on the outskirts of town?"
Chu Jiao sat up, then put on her clothes, and Red Sleeves was busy making food and drink for her.
"It seems that Xiao Yanwei led the group of troops to have a problem. I heard that many soldiers of the state died, but this matter was suppressed, and today Vice Yuan is coming, and the slaves and maids listened a little, and the rest of the slaves and maids did not know. ”
Chu Jiao's eating action stopped for a moment, and she thought a little more in her heart.
Qin Shao didn't come back until late at night, because of the cool breeze on his body, he deliberately stood at the door for a while, and his body was not so cold before pushing open the door and entering.
As soon as she entered, she saw a small lamp, and Chu Jiao was sitting under the candlelight, the flickering candle flame illuminated her face very softly, and there was still a faint tiredness between her eyebrows and eyes.
"Why did you come back in the middle of the night, what happened?"
Qin Shao didn't want her to worry about this matter: "It's nothing, deal with some small things, but now it's your and my affairs that are more important." ”
Saying that, he hugged Chu Jiao's body, and Chu Jiao naturally hugged his neck.
When Chu Jiao woke up, Qin Shao was no longer there, she saw that the sun had not risen yet, and the person was gone, as soon as she touched the side and there was still residual warmth, she dressed up and went out to ask Qin Shao's travel path, and then followed behind him.
"Lord Wang, my subordinates have found definite evidence, and they should be able to go now, but now General Xiao is the chief general in the army, and his subordinates are afraid of ......"
There was a bit of hesitation on Vice General Yuan's face, and Qin Shao naturally understood.
"The Emperor has entrusted this matter to me.
You can rest assured that I will command. ”
Vice General Yuan was relieved when he heard this, and went to the barracks with him.
At this time, Xiao Yanwei was furious in the barracks, because the army had less time to train for half an hour.
When his face was red with anger, he looked at Qin Shao behind Vice General Yuan, he gradually calmed down, sank a pair of eyes, and looked at it: "I've seen the prince, I don't know ......."
"Xiao Yanwei, are you guilty?"
As soon as this appeared, it gave him a dismount.
Xiao Yanwei squinted his eyes slightly, his calm face was calm with the calm before the storm, and his tone rose slightly with a bit of clarity: "Weichen doesn't know, what is the crime?" ”
"I already know that you are hiding the mass death of Fanbang soldiers.
Your Majesty has already known about this matter, and now Your Majesty will give me full authority to deal with this matter. ”
Speaking of His Majesty, Xiao Yanwei had to kneel, after listening to his words, his face became even more gloomy, he raised his eyes to look at Vice General Yuan beside Qin Shao, Vice General Yuan silently lowered his head.
He can ignore the life and death of the Fanbang people, but this evil disease has spread to the heads of the soldiers of Chenguo.
Vice General Yuan couldn't sit idly by, if he didn't tell Qin Shao about this matter, I was afraid that this matter would be covered up forever, and I don't know how many disasters it would cause.
The people in the army were very enthusiastic when they saw Qin Shao, but Qin Shao didn't have that time to speak, he just wanted to understand the situation.
"Go and ask the most famous doctor Zhang Tai from Tai Hospital."
Qin Shao said to the people below.
As soon as Vice General Yuan was about to leave, he stopped him again: "Forget it, you have invited all the imperial doctors from the Tai Hospital except for the imperial doctors accompanying His Majesty."
But things have to be done quietly, you know? ”
Vice General Yuan nodded, this kind of thing naturally can't be publicized.
All the doctors from the Tai Hospital rushed over and left the city, and the Fanbang people who died before were all dealt with, and they could not be found at all, leaving only those who were already sick in the army.
And the people from the hospital stayed in the patient's room for a long time before they came out.
Imperial Physician Li slowly walked out of it, and Qin Shao looked at him with such a solemn expression, and knew that things were not simple.
"Weichen, I haven't been able to find out any symptoms, and I ask the prince to confess."
The more than ten imperial doctors who followed behind him all said this, and Qin Shao's brows furrowed into a Sichuan character.
Now only Imperial Physician Zhang is left, Imperial Physician Zhang is already old, he shook his head and said: "This kind of disease Wei Chen has been practicing medicine for decades, and he has never seen this kind of disease, maybe Wei Chen will have to observe here for a few days, maybe he can get something." ”
Qin Shao nodded, this is the only way to do it now, and there is no way to do it.
At this time, a woman's voice suddenly appeared in the crowd.
"Let me do it." Chu Jiao walked out of the crowd.
When Xiao Yanwei saw this woman, a trace of amazement flashed in her eyes, she didn't expect that there was such a stunning woman in the world, her eyebrows were all full of style, and her lips were lightly opened, just like the yellow bird, which made people feel happy to listen to it.
And the soldiers in the army had never seen Chu Jiao, and they were all impressed by such beauty for a while, and they couldn't help but look at Chu Jiao in a daze.
And the doctors of the Tai Hospital naturally recognized her, so they bowed together.
"I've seen the princess, Chitose Jin'an."
The doctors spoke. Only then did everyone know Chu Jiao's identity, and at the same time, they were envious and felt that this woman's delicate body was weak, the general was a rough man, could he control such a beauty?
Xiao Yanwei watched Qin Shao's hand naturally wrap around Chu Jiao's waist, and he pursed his lips.
"Didn't you get a good rest? Why do you have to come? ”
Qin Shao knew that this illness was unusual, even the imperial doctor of the Tai Hospital was helpless, if he accidentally contracted it, the consequences would be unimaginable, Qin Shao didn't want Chu Jiao to be in danger.
Chu Jiao patted the back of his hand, meaning to put him at ease.
"I have experience in treating epidemics before, and if I take over this time, it will definitely help, and the people from the Tai Hospital don't have to stay here too much, just two or three.
So as not to have an incident in the inner palace and not enough manpower.
It also prevents the courtiers in front of him from knowing about this matter and causing panic. ”
The Tai Hospital didn't believe in Chu Jiao before, but after she showed her hand, the Tai Hospital was convinced of Chu Jiao.
The soldiers didn't understand this truth, and it sounded somewhat unreliable to entrust their lives to a young and beautiful woman.
However, because Qin Shao was here, no one dared to speak, and everyone's opposition was put on hold in their hearts.
"Nope."
Qin Shao directly vetoed it.
Chu Jiao looked at him with a bit of expectation in her eyes, Qin Shao pursed her lips tightly, she patted his hand, he didn't say anything after all.
In the end, it was Imperial Physician Zhang, Imperial Physician Li, and Chu Jiao who stayed behind to do this.
"General Xiao, because of dereliction of duty, the lives of soldiers were damaged.
When the matter is over, His Majesty will have his own conclusion. ”
Qin Shao said.
Xiao Yanwei listened to his words, but there was no accident, such a thing was revealed, there was no way, only to find a way to try his best to remedy it.
"How much do you know about her? I don't know what His Majesty thinks, and even acquiesced to such a young woman to do such a thing. ”
At this time, Xiao Yanwei looked at Chu Jiao from a distance, Chu Jiao was talking to the group of sick soldiers, I saw that she was slender and looked a little thin, but those eyes were extremely smart.
Liu Zhi beside him said: "This woman is not simple, she is a closed disciple of Divine Doctor Li.
once went to help when the epidemic broke out, and finally succeeded in developing the antidote to the epidemic, saving the people from fire and water, and the emperor rewarded her with a gold medal, and her strength should not be underestimated. ”
The more Xiao Yanwei looked at Chu Jiao, the more satisfied he became, his hand was rubbed back and forth on his chin, and the corners of his lips slightly hooked up a sad smile: "Interesting, interesting." ”
"General, we have to think quickly, I'm afraid that even your sister may not be able to protect you this time." Liu Zhi reminded carefully.
Xiao Yanwei laughed: "What are you afraid of?"
Didn't the one who saved us come?
There is a deserved punishment, but if the disease in this army is cured by our people, Your Majesty is kind, and I will not blame it. ”
Liu Zhi understood what Xiao Yanwei meant, and laughed in a low voice: "General, be wise." ”
Chu Jiao came out temporarily, the shirt she was wearing was relatively light and expensive, and coupled with such an identity, it always made people feel afraid to approach.
"How do you all feel right now? I must be careful with what I say, if not, I will not be able to save people. Let's take the pulse first. ”
Saying that, Chu Jiao sat on the stone in front of her.
Soldiers, you look at me, I look at you, but no one moves.
In the end, a thirteen-year-old boy came forward, and he was so uncomfortable that he walked out.
Chu Jiao put a handkerchief on the little boy's somewhat blackened arm and felt it carefully.
The boy's face was a little frightened, but he felt Chu Jiao's slightly cold hand through the handkerchief, that kind of soft feeling, he suddenly looked directly at the woman in front of him, she was so beautiful, and her face was dyed with a layer of light under the sunset.
"You're standing aside, you're coming a."
Chu Jiao said softly.
Because the boy's illness is not very serious, it is necessary to see how people of different levels react.
The boy was stunned for a moment, stood obediently beside her, and did not speak.
She has seen many soldiers, this kind of pulse is indeed strange, she has never seen it.
"Are there any of the soldiers who died? I need to see it. ”
Vice General Yuan shook his head: "Those corpses were all disposed of by General Xiao, but the prince and I went out to look for them, but we didn't find those corpses." ”
Chu Jiao was puzzled: "How many people died?" ”
"Weichen doesn't know, but it should be more than 10,000 people, it should be more."
When she heard this number, Chu Jiao gasped, so many people had died, and she had only found out now.
"Go and check, so many people have died, the bodies will definitely be found."
