504: Vicious Assassin

Cheng Qing and the five princes were separated in Xuzhou.

Cheng Qing and Yu San took a boat from Xuzhou to Huai'an, and continued to walk a waterway before going ashore and turning overland, passing through Hongxian County and then to Wuhe County.

The Five Princes and Cheng Zhixu landed in Xuzhou, from Xuzhou through Xiao County and Lingbi, to Wuhe.

Lingbi is adjacent to Hongxian, but when Hongxian was trapped, the five princes and their entourage had already arrived in Wuhe, and they did not encounter the army of the turban thieves along the way, and there were heavy troops stationed in Wuhe County, so they didn't have to worry about the scarf thieves coming - the five princes were infected with the epidemic because they were assassinated on the road!

"When passing through Lingbi County, I encountered a homeless person blocking the road, His Royal Highness was kind enough to personally appease the homeless, but unexpectedly, the homeless person blocking the road was an assassin pretending to be ......."

When the cold light in the assassin's hand flashed, Cheng Zhixu was frightened.

The assassins are too close to the Five Princes!

Fortunately, Cui Yan was standing next to the Five Princes at that time, and Cui Yan shot a short crossbow to prevent the assassins from assassinating the Five Princes in close quarters.

The fifth prince was only injured, but his life was not in danger.

Cui Yan and the fifth prince were close, and they were also injured.

The Protectors quickly reacted and killed a group of Assassins.

At first, everyone only thought it was an ordinary assassination, until the next day, the five princes first developed symptoms of discomfort, and after the five princes, all the sergeants who had been injured in the fight with the assassins showed similar symptoms, including Cui Yan.

Vomiting, diarrhea and fever.

The imperial doctor who was ordered to follow the five princes to the south determined that the five princes and others were infected with the epidemic!

"Something wrong with the Assassin's weapon?"

How can it be such a coincidence, all the injured people are infected, the epidemic is caused by the virus, and the way the virus spreads is nothing more than those, Cheng Qing's first suspicion is that the assassin's weapon is contaminated.

Yu San was terrified when he heard this, this was more terrible than smearing poison on a weapon.

It's best to kill the five princes.

It is impossible to kill, it is inevitable that someone will be injured during the fight, and the epidemic is highly contagious, and if one person is infected, the entire disaster relief team will be infected!

And once infected with the epidemic, even if there is a doctor and medicine, whether or not you can survive depends on whether God opens his eyes...... People divide their lives from those of others, and the epidemic will not recognize this division standard, whether it is a noble person or an ordinary person, after being infected, it is also a life of nine deaths!

This assassination is ruthless and vicious, in order to let the five princes die, several lives of the entire disaster relief team can be harvested together!

Cheng Zhixu nodded: "Yes, there is a problem with the assassin's weapon, all the injured people have symptoms of the epidemic one after another, and the imperial doctor and the doctors you brought out of the capital have made the same judgment." The imperial doctor wanted to save the five princes, and the doctors in the medical hall said that only saving the five princes was in vain, and everyone walked with the people infected with the epidemic for a day, and no one could escape. ”

At the critical moment, it was the five princes who made a decision and demanded that all patients infected with the epidemic be treated equally.

Those who already have symptoms should first gather in a rural Zhuangzi and send people to take care of and treat them, so that the epidemic will not continue to spread.

If you are not yet asymptomatic, you should also take the medicine for a few days to reduce the possibility of infection.

The five princes left the other sick sergeants in Zhuangzi for treatment, and asked Cui Yan to get into his own carriage, and the two walked in the same carriage, eating, drinking, and Lazar were all in the carriage, and no longer contacted other people, until they arrived in Wuhe County, and after the county government was requisitioned, the five princes and Cui Yan moved to the private house next to the county government.

Speaking of this, Cheng Zhixu paused, "The epidemic prevention method you summarized is good, the first batch of people infected with the epidemic, including the five princes, were all injured by assassins, and later more than a dozen sergeants fell ill one after another, all of them did not take protective measures when taking care of the injured, and the epidemic did not spread on a large scale." ”

If what Cheng Qing said about annihilating nearly 10,000 scarf thieves in Hongxian County is true, it is two credits.

This time when he went south for disaster relief, it was not the five princes who made a big show, but Cheng Qing?

Cheng Zhixu must be in a complicated mood.

Cheng Qing's thoughts had already flown to the county office.

The fifth prince is still affectionate and righteous, and he did not leave Cui Yan and the sick sergeants behind, which is also a big plus in Cheng Qing's heart.

Cheng Qing said that Huai'an City was besieged, and Cheng Zhixu already knew.

"Governor Shi has sent someone to Wuhe County, and he will come to see His Highness Fifth in person soon."

"The illness of the Fifth Highnessβ€”"

"I just hope that before Governor Shi arrives at Wuhe, His Highness has been cured."

Cheng Qing was thoughtful.

Why can't Governor Shi know that the five princes have contracted the epidemic?

Is it afraid that the news will leak out, causing panic among the people of Wuhe County, or do they have other concerns.

Cheng Zhixu agreed that Cheng Qing could ask the doctor who treated the five princes and Cui Yan through the wall, Cheng Qing shook his head, "Let's hand over the food first." ”

Cheng Qing transported 20,000 stones, Yu San transported 50,000 stones, and grabbed more than 10,000 stones from the scarf thief camp, but Cheng Qing left 10,000 stones in Hongxian County, and finally brought more than 70,000 stones to Wuhe County.

"You go to see the doctor, I can handle the handover of food."

Yu San suddenly spoke.

Cheng Qing was a little surprised.

Yu San has always looked at Cui Yan unpleasantly, but he didn't expect to be suddenly generous at this time...... Sure enough, I can't look at Yu San with old eyes.

Yu San wanted to help, but Cheng Qing was not too pretentious, "Thank you, then I will do more for you." ”

If it weren't for Cheng Zhixu's presence, Yu San would definitely have to tease Cheng Qing a few words, with Cheng Zhixu there, Yu San's attitude would be straightforward, and he didn't want Cheng Zhixu to spy on anything unusual.

Yu Santian is not afraid, he has accepted the fact that he likes Cheng Qing, and he is naturally not afraid of others talking about it.

But he guessed that Cheng Qing must be very resistant.

Originally, Cheng Qing had not had the same feelings for him, and if he was told by others, he would have to avoid him!

Cheng Qing left in a hurry.

Yu San and Cheng Zhixu handed over the grain, and came forward to settle the ancestors of the He family near the county office, He Lao Wai and Cheng's second room live next to each other, Cheng Zhixu saw He Lao Wai and called him "He Lao Zhang", not to mention that now Huainan is occupied by scarf thieves, He family ancestors know a secret road into Huainan, and He family donated 20,000 taels of silver for disaster relief, Cheng Zhixu has to meet He Lao Wai in person.

When he saw Cheng Zhixu, he persuaded him to have the bearing of an elder, no matter what conflicts he had with Cheng Qing before, now everyone works together to do a good job and go back alive is the top priority...... This is for fear that Cheng Qing will suffer in the hands of Cheng Zhixu.

Cheng Zhixu was speechless.

The word "bad guy" written on his face?!

Yu San was ostensibly busy handing over the grain and arranging trivial matters, but in fact, he had already contacted the Jinyi Wei secret agent in Wuhe County.

After Cheng Qing and the Five Princes set Wuhe County as a stronghold, the team transporting grain had not yet arrived in Wuhe, and a large number of Jinyi Wei spies had rushed to Wuhe County to lurk.

Whether Cheng Zhixu was telling the truth or not, Yu San had to ask himself before believing it.

There is also something that happened along the way, and the news must be transmitted back to the capital.

A official of Wuhe County stood beside Yu San and spoke to Yu San.

"I've seen a hundred households."

Yu San went straight to the point: "The strength and leader of the scarf thief, and the mysterious military advisor, how much do you find out?" ”
