"Is there still no progress on the prescription?" Qingfeng asked Yurong and Yuqin.

The two didn't speak, just frowned and shook their heads.

The atmosphere inside the house became very oppressive for a while, and there were thousands of lives waiting for them to save them outside. Plus there are not 10,000 but thousands of them elsewhere, and they are still spreading in ways they don't know about.

"If we look through the ancient books, there may be similar cases, and we can refer to the prescriptions. Tao Yao suggested to everyone.

"We've thought of this recently, and Senior Sister Yurong and I have been looking for it too!"

"Then we'll help you find it at your leisure. Mo Li answered from the side.

So everyone reached an agreement in this way, and everyone would hold a bamboo slip or silk book to study carefully in their spare time.

On this day, a disciple of Dai Yu ran in from outside in a panic.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this peaceful town has been fenced off. ”

"What?" everyone was shocked.

"Do you know who is coming?" Tao Yao looked at the Daiyu disciple in front of him. She was still carrying a bamboo basket on her back, thinking that she was going out to collect medicine, and she happened to meet it, so she hurried back to report.

The disciple tilted his head and thought for a moment, "I faintly heard them mention something about the Great King. ”

They didn't expect that the first thing they faced was not the attack of the demon beast, but the officers and soldiers from the Ghost King.

Yurong and Yuqin naturally can't leave, there are patients here. Tao Yao and a few of them went to the only intersection in Ping'an Town that was connected to other villages and towns, and they hid in a tree, where they saw the officers and soldiers of Youwang.

A middle-aged man rode on a tall horse, giving orders to the soldiers on either side.

"Father Yushi?" Tao Yao couldn't help frowning when she saw someone coming, it seemed that she was really the King of You.

"Do you know?" Mo Li listened to Tao Yao's tone, and seemed to know something about the person who came.

Tao Yao snorted coldly, his tone was full of disdain, "Hmph, I don't know it, but it's impressive, this person is a complete traitor, I saw him and the king of the ghost come up with ideas before, lighting a beacon fire to tease the princes." ”

When Qingfeng heard this, he thought of the carriage and horses he and Tao Yao saw that day, and he understood. No wonder Tao Yao didn't want to mention it after he came back, this ghost king is really ridiculous.

"Quick, fence off this peaceful town for me. This town of peace is the source of the plague, and now the plague is spreading, and if it is not stopped, I am afraid it will spread to the palace. Father Yu Shi rode on his horse and commanded the soldiers around him.

"How can this be stopped?" asked a soldier below, tilting his head in confusion.

Father Yu Shi raised his foot and gave a kick to the soldier who spoke, "Bah, what do you say, how can you stop it? Hurry up and find firewood around and set fire to the city for me." ”

The soldier's face was unbearable, "Shangqing, there are still people here." If this fire burns, it will be really difficult for the people of the city to live. ”

When Father Yu Shi heard this, he wanted to kick that man again. Just lifting his legs, the horse that sat down somehow raised his head and neighed, almost throwing Father Yu off the horse. Father Yu jumped off his horse and whipped the horse hard. Then he still felt angry, and ordered the person leading the horse on the side, "Take good care of it today, don't let it eat, and don't let it drink water!"

The man who led the horse, as if he had been accustomed to this kind of thing, only whispered "Yes!" and led the horse away.

He looked at the soldiers who were just serving as ordinary people, "There are just some untouchables inside, is it possible to let the epidemic develop for their sake? If one day, the disease spreads to the palace and the king and queen are infected, how can you afford it?"

"This ......" is related to the safety of the king and queen, and he naturally can't afford it, but he really can't bear to let the people in this town die in the fire like this, but he doesn't know what else to say, after all, he is just a small soldier, and he doesn't dare to disobey Shangqing's words.

"What is this, don't get out of here!" Father Yu Shi looked at him hatefully. It was as if he had said anything more, and he would have dragged him down and beaten to death. The soldier could only sigh and resigned himself to collecting firewood.

Father Yu Shi looked at the town that was about to be burned by the fire, as if he saw the bounty of a thousand taels after completing the errand arranged by the king, and couldn't help but let out a few wicked laughs.

"I think most of the idea of burning the city was also from this father of the stone. Tao Yao gritted her teeth and said. Tao Yao wanted to go down and clean up this father of the stone.

"No!" Qingfeng, who was standing beside her, naturally saw her intentions.

"Don't worry, I know the severity of it, and I won't kill him. We can't do nothing, just let him burn this peaceful town, once this fire burns, I'm afraid it won't be something we can stop at that time. Although Tao Yao wanted his life very much, she knew that if she really did this, it would be a mess of his cause and effect, he was an important minister of the Great Zhou, and his cause and effect would definitely affect many people.

Qingfeng was moved by Tao Yao's words, there are thousands of lives in this town, and they can't sit idly by. "Okay, I'll accompany you!"

So the two of them put on the invisibility talisman, and they generously came down from the tree and walked to the side of Yu Shi's father.

At this time, someone came to him crying and knelt down before him.

"Shangqing, you can't set fires! There are still my wife, wife and children. ”

Compared to the soldier just now, Father Yu Shi was much kinder to this person.

"This plague has spread to the surrounding areas, and the epidemic is so serious that the king has also asked many Langzhong, but there is no cure for it. I'm afraid that your old lady and wife and children are already more auspicious. ”

"Shangqing, we can send people to keep watch here day and night, don't let them go out, and wait until the doctor comes up with a prescription, won't it all be solved?" The man made what he thought was a good suggestion.

"It's just a waste of time. What's more, if there is a mistake, no one can afford it. Shi Hai, you have followed me for many years, I don't care about this matter with you, you can go down quickly! ”

At this time, Tao Yao and Qingfeng had already walked up to the two.

Tao Yao looked at Yu Shi's father, looked at Shi Hai who was kneeling, no wonder his tone was quite kind, it turned out that he had been with him for many years.

At this time, the soldiers had already stacked the firewood they had picked up, gathered around the outside, and connected the firewood one by one, until they reached the village not far away.

Most of the houses here have thatched roofs, and every household collects firewood to burn. The separation between each house is not large, so once the fire starts, it will become uncontrollable, and the whole village and town will become a sea of fire.

Father Yu Shi instructed the soldiers waiting on the side, "Light the fire!"

"Yes!" the soldier was about to light with his torch.

Shi Hai sprang up from the ground and pushed him away. The torch fell to the ground, and Shi Hai ran over to extinguish it.

"You ......" Father Yu Shi looked at the man who had followed him for many years, and was very angry.

"Come on, tie him up for me! Pull him down!" Two soldiers heard the order and came forward, but hesitated and did not dare to move. After all, this Shi Hai's official rank is higher than theirs, and they are afraid that they will be hated by this Shi Hai.

"Don't do it yet!" Seeing that the two refused to move, Father Yu Shi kicked the person who was closer to him.

Seeing the situation, the two had no choice but to tie up Shi Hai. While tying it up, he said, "Lord Shi, I'm sorry!"

Shi Hai also knew that the two of them were just acting according to orders, and he did not anger the two. just scolded Father Shi viciously, "Father Shi, you traitorous villain, if you hadn't suggested it to the king, how could the king have ordered the city to be burned." You are a villain who is greedy for life and afraid of death, and loves glory and wealth. You have not only harmed my old wife and children, but also the people of this city. Even if I become evil spirits, I will bring them to seek justice from you, so that you may not sleep at night. ”

Tao Yao looked at the two of them as I expected. Although she felt that this Shi Hai had followed Yu Shi's father for many years and must have done a lot of evil things, she really felt very happy when she heard him scold Yu Shi's father like this, and she couldn't wait to clap her hands.

Father Yu Shi stepped on him, "Originally, you have been with me for many years, and you still want to keep your dog's life." I didn't expect you to be so ignorant. Listen to me, and if the fire burns out in a moment, throw him into the fire for me, so that they may be reunited with the whole family. ”

Shi Hai was trampled on by Father Yu Shi's chest with a pain, "Ahem, Father Yushi, there are gods three feet above your head, and people are watching the sky." I can't do anything to you, but one day you will be punished, and your fate will be a thousand times worse than mine!"

"You still dare to say it!" Father Yu stepped on his mouth in annoyance, and blood stains flowed down the corners of Shi Hai's mouth.

It hurt to see Tao Yao, but Shi Hai refused to beg for mercy, just laughed wildly, laughing miserably and penetratingly.

Father Yu Shi was furious, "Quick, quick, light a fire for me and throw him into the fire." ”

Beside him another soldier brought a torch. The firewood was piled up a little high, and the soldiers threw torches in the middle. I saw that the torch spun around on the pyre, and then flew back and landed at the feet of the father of the stone. Nearly burned his trouser legs.

This scene is weird and terrifying. The soldier who threw the torch fell to the ground in fright.

"Come on, light me again!" Father Yu Shi thought that the soldier must have not thrown it well.

The other soldier staggered forward and threw it with his eyes closed. I saw that the torch made a circle on the pyre again, and then flew back, and fell at the feet of the father of Yu Shi. Once it can be said to be a coincidence, then twice the surrounding soldiers were frightened and discussed, "The gods have appeared!"

Father Yu Shi still did not believe in evil, so he picked up the torch and carefully placed it next to the pyre. He thought I wouldn't throw it this time, I'll see if you can fly back.

Who knows, this torch actually ran to the feet of Father Yu Shi as if it had long legs. Father Yu Shi was so frightened that he retreated again and again, and the torch actually followed him. Father Yu Shi ran in fright, and the torch flew after him.

A few people in the trees in the distance couldn't help but giggle when they saw this scene, which made the dull atmosphere of the past few days a lot less.

"This peach is too naughty!" Tourmaline said with a smile covering her mouth.

It turned out that after the torch was thrown out, it was all taken back by Tao Yao. Because Tao Yao was wearing an invisibility talisman, they couldn't see it, all they saw was that the torch flew like it had long legs.
