Chapter 68: Xianyang Shock
It took two months to get from Xianyang to Tu'an.
When he went back, Su Mo didn't have to delay so frantically, so it only took a month to turn back.
The army walked on the official road.
Su Mo rode a white horse, and saw the magnificent Xianyang City from afar, and the Tu'an Royal City was completely different from this.
Thinking about returning to his heart, he was still a little excited in his heart, and at the same time, his head began to think about what His Majesty would reward him for this capture of Tu'an.
Theoretically, the best thing to do is to make him a marquis.
However, Su Mo felt that there was little hope.
After all, Tu'an is a small country, and there are many generals who have the merit of destroying the country in the Qin Dynasty, such as Wang Qian, Wang Ben and his son, as well as Meng Tian's father Meng Fu, and Li Xin, each of whom has the merit of destroying the country, and even some people have destroyed several countries.
Each of these destroyed countries was countless times stronger than Tu'an, and even some of them did not have a marquis, so Su Mo naturally couldn't think that he could be a marquis just by destroying Tu'an.
Just as Su Mo was thinking wildly, a group of cavalry suddenly ran in front.
The leader of the general was his old acquaintance Li You, and he still remembered that when he first came to Xianyang City, it was Li You who personally escorted him to meet the First Emperor.
At the same time, because Su Mo made meritorious contributions to the immortal law in the Qilin Palace, Li You, who was an escort, naturally also got Jiashan, and the title was promoted from Zuo Shu Chang to Zuo Geng, and after the reform of the three provinces and six departments, his official position also became the general guarding the palace, which is equivalent to the position of the head of the imperial guard.
It's just that at this time, Li You was wearing a scarf on his face, covering his mouth and nose.
"General Li, why are you here, is Your Majesty knowing that we have won the battle, so you specially came to meet us?" Meng Tian looked at Li You, who was also a military general, and asked with a laugh.
Hearing this, Li You immediately stepped forward.
Looking at Su Mo, Li You felt a little emotion in his heart, when he first met the other party, he was still a chef who was ready to cook for Hu Hai Gongzi, but he didn't see him for just a year, and he was actually the prime minister of the Qin Dynasty, and his title also reached the great mastery, and he was even more powerful than his father Li Si in the court.
Although his father could only deign to Shangshu Province because of Su Mo, the two could be said to have a grudge.
However, Li You didn't care about this, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty has decreed that no one is allowed to enter Xianyang City within ten miles, so a certain general came to inform him, hoping that Prime Minister Zhong and General Meng Tian will not enter Xianyang City for the time being, and they will set up camp here." ”
Su Mo frowned after hearing this, and asked in his mouth: "What happened, how could Your Majesty give such a strange order?" ”
"Back to Lord Xiangguo, there has been a plague in Xianyang City recently, and many people have been infected, and even the plague has occurred in the palace, so Your Majesty issued this order, in order to stop the spread of the plague." Li You quickly replied.
But hearing this, Su Mo's face changed slightly.
Xianyang City actually had a plague?
It seems that this is indeed the case, when Gao Yao and Yi Xiaochuan came to the Qin Dynasty, they encountered a plague, and even Yi Xiaochuan was infected with the plague, if Gao Yao hadn't found Cui Wenzi to save his life at an emergency moment, I am afraid that Yi Xiaochuan would have died a long time ago, but it was precisely because of that kind Lu Su who also sacrificed for Yi Xiaochuan.
At that time, the place where the plague occurred was far away from Xianyang City, and Su Mo thought that the problem had been solved.
Unexpectedly, this plague spread more and more widely, and now even Xianyang City is not spared.
But think about it carefully, in the TV series, Princess Yushu was also infected with the plague after returning to Xianyang City, but because of his butterfly, he sent troops to attack Tu'an, which took several months along the way, so it was much later than the original timeline of Yushu entering the palace, so he also indirectly saved Princess Yushu's life.
Come to think of it.
Su Mo raised his head and looked at Xianyang City in front of him.
"Xiaoyue is also in Xianyang City, she will be fine, right?"
Thinking of this question, Su Mo suddenly couldn't sit still, "I want to enter the palace!" ”
"Think twice!"
Li You next to him hurriedly stopped, now entering Xianyang City, is looking for death.
It's just that Su Mo immediately glared at him and looked at Li Youdao: "I'm the prime minister, you dare to stop me?" ”
"The lower officials don't dare!"
Li You's face changed, and finally slowly retreated, making way for a way.
See here.
Only then did Su Mo turn his head to look at Meng Tian: "General Meng, you lead the army to camp near here temporarily, and Prime Minister Ben will go to Xianyang City to investigate." ”
As he spoke, he whipped his horse.
rushed to Xianyang City without looking back.
When he entered Xianyang City, the soldiers guarding the city gate immediately stopped him.
However, after seeing that it was Lord Xiangguo, he was quickly released.
After entering Xianyang City.
Su Mo galloped on the streets, probably due to the plague, the originally prosperous and lively Xianyang City is now extremely depressed, the shops on both sides of the street have been closed, and not even a single pedestrian on the road has been seen.
Seeing that the plague in Xianyang City was already so serious, Su Mo was even more worried about Xiaoyue's safety.
It didn't take long for Su Mo to enter Xianyang Palace.
When he walked towards his mansion, Su Mo saw a group of forbidden troops surrounding his mansion from a distance.
Just then, the door suddenly opened.
There was a large group of palace maids and eunuchs who rushed out of it frantically, but unfortunately they had long been guarded by the forbidden army, and all those who came out would be ruthlessly hacked to death, and then the corpses were wrapped in cloth bags and dragged away and buried.
The whole process is smooth, as if it has been tempered thousands of times, and the skilled can no longer be skilled.
Seeing this scene, Su Mo was furious!
"What are you doing?" Su Mo rushed up and asked.
This is too bold, it depends on the owner to beat the dog, and he actually kills his subordinates at will.
Those forbidden soldiers were also startled when they saw Su Mo, and hurriedly knelt down, and the general led by him also covered his mouth and nose with a scarf, and explained tremblingly: "Lord Xiangguo, the humble position is also a last resort, Your Majesty has ordered that anyone who has the plague is not allowed to step out of the gate for half a step, if there is any disobedience, these people are infected with the plague, and we killed them to stop the spread of the plague." ”
Hearing this, Su Mo's face was a little better, but he soon became nervous again.
"And my sister Satsuki?"
"The little moon girl is also infected with the plague......"
Before the general could finish speaking, Su Mo hurriedly kicked open the door and rushed in.
After returning to his mansion, the eunuchs and palace maids inside were simply Su Mo, and they all rushed up.
"Lord Sangkoku, help!"
"We're all infected with the plague, but I don't want to die~"
"Lord Xiangguo, you are a god descending to earth, you must save us!"
………
Seeing a large group of people surrounding him, Su Mo hurriedly used his internal strength.
When he entered Xianyang City, he sealed his five senses, generally speaking, this plague is transmitted through the mouth and nose, and as a quasi-congenital master, he has been able to breathe inside, and he only needs to take a deep breath to circulate in the body, and he can hold his breath for a long time.
"Get out of here!"
Su Mo was in an upset mood, and his mind was full of worries about Xiaoyue's safety.
After breaking out of the encirclement.
Su Mo ran to Xiao Yue's room at this time.
Push open the door.
Su Mo turned his eyes and happened to see Xiaoyue lying on the bed.
The whole person is dying.
