Chapter 44: The Plague

"What is the Emperor of the Underworld doing here without sleeping in the middle of the night?" I opened my eyes and looked at the figure in front of the bed, sat up, and waved my hand to let Su Fang fall into a deep sleep without being woken up.

"You've changed." Ardis looked at Sakura Xue and said lightly.

"After these decades of tribulation, it's hard not to change." I stood up and went down to the ground.

"You're blaming me?" Addis asked with a sigh.

"No, I still want to thank you, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't have gone through this, let alone met these good friends and brothers." I shook my head.

"Snow." Ardis looked at Sakurayuki: "Whether you believe it or not, I didn't know about the Heavenly Emperor's conspiracy at the beginning, and I went to Heavenly Court to find you." ”

"You went to Heaven to find me?" I looked at him blankly.

"That's right, but the Heavenly Emperor doesn't know what method he used to hide your aura, and I didn't find you." Addis nodded.

"I believe in you, and thank you." I'm sure Ardis didn't have to lie to me.

"In that case, I'm leaving." Addis turned and disappeared into the night.

"It really hasn't changed at all." I shook my head, and I hadn't finished asking yet.

The next day

"Sakurayuki is coming." Xiao Qiao sat on the chair and saw Leng Yingxue walking down and shouted with a smile.

"What makes you so happy?" I smiled and sat next to Little Joe.

"Let me tell you, today it has been spread all over the matter that you came to the president yesterday, Ye Fengxuan and the night president of the qin and flute ensemble, saying that it is simply a divine comedy, and it is rumored that you saved people and flew across the river, and even the lotus flowers full of rivers will be tarnished for your beauty, it is simply the beauty of the Nine Heavens Goddess." Xiao Qiao said colorfully.

"Is that an exaggeration?" I said with a smile.

"It's such an exaggeration, Sakurayuki you don't know, the way you flew over the river yesterday even we were fascinated." Ma Chao nodded in agreement.

"Fourth sister, didn't you see that this inn was full of people today? It's all here to see your style. Liu Bei said with a smile.

"Then I don't think I'd better go out." I smiled helplessly.

"It's okay, we are going to go out with the four famous shops, and we really don't feel at ease when you go out by yourself." Guan Yu nodded.

"Hey! What is Sakura Snow herself? And me and Diao! Little Joe immediately protested.

"Diao Chan still has to take care of you, and you're not reliable at all." Zhang Fei was very worried about handing over his fourth sister to Xiao Qiao.

"You're not reliable." Little Joe was dissatisfied.

"Is something wrong?" I looked at the crowd and asked.

"It's the plague in Wenyuan Town, not far ahead, and the four famous shops have been ordered to investigate this matter, and we also want to see if we can help." Liu Bei said worriedly: "I heard that a lot of people have died. ”

"Then you have to be careful." I nodded, took out a bottle of pill from my arms and handed it to them: "This is a pill that strengthens the body and can improve immunity, don't get infected if you eat it." ”

"Don't worry, fourth sister, we'll be careful." Guan Yu nodded.

"Everybody, let's go." Ruthless and others appeared behind everyone.

"Humph!" Seeing that Ying Xue snorted coldly, she didn't say anything sarcastic, while Li Lingyue looked at Su Fang sadly.

"Cold girl." Bao Zheng blushed and looked at Ying Xue, and Ying Xue nodded.

"Fourth sister, don't run around, wait for us here." Liu Bei gently told Yingxue.

"I see." I nodded.

"Eat on time and don't go hungry." Guan Yu touched Yingxue's head.

"Okay." I nodded.

"The fourth sister remembers to miss the third brother." Zhang Fei looked at Ying Xue pitifully.

"Third brother, aren't you just going for one day?" I looked at Zhang Fei helplessly.

"But if you don't see the fourth sister in a day, the third brother will miss the fourth sister." Zhang Fei said aggrievedly.

"Do you want me to follow?" I was about to stand up, but I was held down by Jan Shide on the side.

"No, it's too dangerous." Zhan Shide said disapprovingly.

"That's right, fourth sister, you just wait for us at home." Liu Bei glared at Zhang Fei and then looked at Su Fang: "The fourth sister of Gongzi Su will trouble you to take care of it." ”

"Don't worry, Xue is also my junior sister, I will take good care of her." Su Fang nodded.

"Let's go." Cao Cao led everyone to get up and walk outside with Ruthless and others.

Wenyuan Town

"It looks like it's more serious than expected." Ruthless and the others walked on the streets of Wenyuan Town, looking at the corpses all over the ground and frowning.

"What is it that is so terrible?" Zhang Fei looked around worriedly.

"Thank you for not letting Sakurayuki come, otherwise it would have scared her." Ma Chao looked at the corpses all over the ground and said.

"In front of it is the centralized diagnosis and treatment area, let's take a look." Tie pointed to the large courtyard in front of him and walked over with everyone, and when he opened the door, he saw that it was full of painful patients lying inside, and several imperial doctors sent by the imperial court were shuttling back and forth to treat everyone.

"Ruthless Lord." When the imperial doctors saw Ruthless and the others, they immediately surrounded them respectfully.

"How?" Asked mercilessly.

"There is still no progress, and it is preliminarily determined that it is a cadaveric plague, but the source of the epidemic has not been found so far." An imperial physician shook his head.

"I know, I'll take someone to find the source." Nodded ruthlessly.

"You go to the source of the plague, and my brothers and I will gather the corpses all over the ground to see if we can get any clues." Liu Bei said.

"Okay, be careful." Ruthlessly nodded and parted ways with the others, but still didn't find any clues until the evening.

"Looks like we'll have to come back tomorrow." Everyone looked at each other and sighed.

"Big brother, are you back?" I looked at Liu Bei and the others who came back, got up and said with a smile.

"Has the fourth sister eaten?" Liu Bei looked at Ying Xue gently and asked with a smile.

"Not yet, waiting for you to come together!" I shook my head.

"It's so late, don't wait next time, what if you're hungry." Guan Yu said bitterly.

"It's okay, it's still early." I sat down with the crowd and completely ignored Ruthless and the others: "By the way, how was it today?" ”

"There is no progress at all." Liu Bei frowned and said.

"Have you found out what the epidemic is?" I asked.

"The Plague." Cao Cao replied.

"But unlike the cadaveric plague, those patients vomited and there were larvae who didn't know what they were." Huang Zhong said.

"I really haven't heard that the corpse plague will spit worms." Zhao Yun nodded.

"Maybe we can find Hua Tuo to come over and have a look." Cao Cao proposed.

"yes, how did you forget him." Zhang Fei clapped his hands and said.

"I'll send a message to Hua Tuo tonight." Cao Cao nodded, but Cao Cao never received a reply after sending the letter, and they could only continue to search for the source of the epidemic.

"What a good thing is this, even a few imperial doctors have been infected with the plague." Said ruthlessly worriedly.

"If it continues like this, I'm afraid something big will happen." Iron Hand said with a frown.

"This Hua Tuo is also really, when he is used, he is gone." Zhang Fei said with a headache.

"It seems we're on our own." Guan Yu said with a sigh.

"By the way, why didn't you see the fourth sister today?" Liu Bei looked at the door and asked.

"Really, nothing will happen, right?" Zhang Fei said worriedly.

"Crow's beak." Everyone glared at him, and suddenly a piano sounded.

"It's the fourth sister." Liu Bei took the lead in walking towards the sound of the piano, and the others immediately followed, and when they came to the garden of the inn, they saw Ying Xue sitting in the peach blossom forest with her eyes closed, playing the harp, countless petals around her, and everyone couldn't help but be obsessed with it.

"The fourth sister is really beautiful." Guan Yu said obsessively, and ruthlessly saw a complicated look flashing in his eyes, he never knew that her piano sound was so beautiful.

"Ahem, ahem, ahem......!" Just as everyone was indulging in the beautiful sound of the piano, a cough interrupted the sound of the piano.

"Senior brother?" Iron Hand and Chasing Life looked nervously at Ruthless, who kept coughing, and saw a black mark gradually appear in the middle of Ruthless's forehead.

"What is this?" Iron Hand was startled and tried to get closer, but was bounced away by a purple light.

"Don't touch him." I put away the piano and walked in front of Ruthless, a thread wrapped around Ruthless's pulse.

"Senior brother, is this infected with the plague?" Iron Hand asked nervously.

"It's a plague god." I frowned, stretched out my finger and counted, "Sure enough, it's time." ”

"What's the time?" Cao Cao asked incomprehensibly.

"Bring him and me." I retracted the thread and jumped up and flew southwest, while everyone looked at each other and immediately followed.
