Chapter 63: The Yongcheng Plague

Ning County, this is the name of Yongcheng before the establishment of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Yongcheng was just a small county town at that time, until the first year of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Yongcheng began to be established, and since then Ning County has been merged with the surrounding four small counties to form a county, called Yongcheng County.

Because Yongcheng County was originally composed of five small counties, and the range of the five small counties exactly resembled five kinds of animals on the map, Yongcheng County was also called Wuxiang County, and the capital Yongcheng was nicknamed Wuxiang City.

The entire Yongcheng County covers an area of about 350 million mu, and Yongcheng, as the capital of Yongcheng County, covers an area of 550,000 mu, making it the largest and richest city in Yongcheng County.

In the past, Yongcheng was full of traffic and a prosperous scene, but now it has become a different scene, the gate of Yongcheng is closed, people in the city are not allowed to go out, and people outside the city are not allowed to enter the city.

This is a direct order from the city lord's mansion, saying that it is to prevent the plague from entering the city, but outside the city of Yongcheng, it is full of displaced people, many of them, their families live in the city, and many families are forced to separate their flesh and bones.

What Luo Qing didn't expect was that the dignified city lord of Yongcheng, who didn't want to try to save the people, would give such an order in order to protect himself, and no matter how stupid such an order was, Luo Qing didn't want to say it.

Closing the city gate is tantamount to cutting off the way back, doesn't the city lord's mansion know? Once the city runs out of food, they will eventually die.

"It's good that my mother didn't marry into this stupid city lord's mansion back then, otherwise she would definitely be angry to death. Looking at the situation outside the city, Luo Qing said with some anger.

"It turns out that Aunt Meng is from Yongcheng, and I have never heard her mention it. At this time, Hongxia spoke.

"Don't talk about you, I only found out that my mother was from the Li family in Yongcheng before I left, because of some hidden secrets, so she never mentioned her mother's family to anyone. Luo Qing said.

"I see, you should have come to Yongcheng for those hidden secrets, right? No wonder you thought of asking me for help. Hongxia smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'll help you well." ”

Luo Qing nodded with emotion and said: "That's all a small matter, the current big thing is to deal with the affairs of the displaced people, they are running around like this, it is easy to bring the epidemic to other counties and counties, and there will be a larger epidemic in the future." ”

"Are you trying to help the homeless?" Hongxia asked.

Luo Qing nodded.

At this time, Qi Lian'er suddenly spoke: "No, how do I think that the homeless people are fine, they don't look like they are infected with the plague." ”

Hearing this, Luo Qing also took a closer look at the homeless people around, it really didn't look like they had the plague, they were all alive and well.

"Strange, is there a mistake in the information?" Hongxia began.

"Let's find someone to ask, let's find out the situation first!" Luo Qing said.

So after Luo Qing dressed up in disguise, he went to find an old man.

"Uncle, do you know why the gates of Yongcheng are closed?" Luo Qing handed the old man some things and water, and then asked.

"Well, young man, you want to go into the city, don't you?" asked the old man.

Luo Qing nodded and said, "Well, I came to Yongcheng to join my relatives, but Yongcheng is closed and I don't know what the situation is, so I'm here to ask you." ”

Hearing this, the old man sighed and said: "Alas, you better go back, the plague is spreading in the city, and the city lord was forced to close the city gate in order to prevent the epidemic from flowing out, which was more than a month ago, and now I don't know what the situation is inside." ”

Hearing what the old man said, Luo Qing knew that he had misunderstood the City Lord's Mansion, and it seemed that the City Lord's Mansion was not selfish.

"Old man, there is some money and some food, you take it, go to other places to avoid it first, and then you will come back in two months, and then the epidemic will pass. With that, Luo Qing took out a small bag of gold coins from the storage ring and handed it directly to the old man.

Without waiting for the old man to answer, Luo Qing disappeared directly, returned to the air, and said to the two girls: "Let's go, let's go into the city, the plague is spreading in the city, and the city lord's mansion ordered the city gate to be closed in order to prevent the epidemic from flowing out." ”

The three of them descended directly into Yongcheng from the air and came directly to the Tianxiang Tower in Yongcheng.

"Who are you? This is a private land, and idlers are not allowed to enter. "Because of the serious epidemic in the city, Tianxianglou has already ceased business, and at this time, Luo Qing and the three of them are about to enter Tianxianglou, so the secret guards stopped them.

"Take us to your landlord. Hongxia took out a special brand made by the Red family for the dark guard to look at, and then commanded.

"Yes. The dark guard looked at the waist card and knew that it was a big man, so he didn't say anything more, and wanted to take Luo Qing and the three of them into the building.

"Forget it, let's just go in by ourselves, Tianxiang Tower has the same design everywhere, I know how to get there!" Suddenly Hongxia changed her mind, so she instructed the secret guard.

"Okay, sir, please. The Dark Guard said respectfully.

The three of them are like Tianxiang Building, as Hongxia said, Tianxiang Building is the same design everywhere, it looks exactly the same as Tianxiang Building in the Southern Regions, it is difficult to see the difference.

"Okay, don't hide, I smell the fragrance on your body from afar, what are you pretending to be a hidden master. Hongxia suddenly shouted.

"Hehe, sister, why are you here?" At this time, a woman in purple walked out, a very beautiful kind, but there were two women by her side, so Luo Qing's gaze didn't dare to linger longer.

"I came to Yongcheng to do something, I didn't want to disturb you, but now that there is such a situation, I have to come to Tianxianglou first. Hongxia said.

"I'm naturally very happy that my sister can come to me. The woman in purple smiled: "This should be my future brother-in-law that my sister often says, he is quite good-looking, sister, you won't introduce me?"

"When did I say he was your future brother-in-law. Hongxia suddenly said to the woman in purple.

"Ahem. Luo Qing didn't do anything, just coughed twice deliberately.

Hearing Luo Qing's voice, Hongxia was a little embarrassed and said, "This is Luo Qing, the eldest son of the head of the Luo family, and this is the daughter of the head of the Qi family, called Qi Lian'er." Hongxia pointed to Luo Qing and Qi Lian'er respectively.

Then Hongxia pointed to the woman in purple and said to Luo Qing and Qi Lian'er: "This is my sister Hongyun, she is the person in charge of Yongcheng Tianxiang Building. ”

The three saluted each other.

"Let's sit down and talk!" Hongyun gestured to everyone, and then instructed the people next to him, "Come on, serve tea." ”

"Miss Hongyun, I want to know what kind of situation Yongcheng is like now?" Luo Qing asked at this time.

"Brother-in-law is polite, just call me Yun'er. As soon as Hongyun opened his mouth, Hongxia, who had just taken a sip of tea, was immediately choked and squirted.

"Hello, do you have a proper shape?" Hongxia didn't have a good breath.

"What, am I calling it wrong?" Hongyun curled his mouth and said, "He's so good-looking, if you don't want it, then give it to me!"

"How dare you!" Hongxia roared.

"Ahem. Luo Qing coughed twice in embarrassment again.

Hearing this, both of them stopped arguing.

Hongyun was a little embarrassed and embarrassed: "That... Brother-in-law, where did we just go?"

"What is the situation in Yongcheng now?" Luo Qing repeated.

"The entire Yongcheng city has a population of 50 million, of which 30 million people who have not been affected by the disaster have been isolated from the city, and there are 20 million people left in the city, including some cultivators. Hongyun said.

Hearing this, the other three were all shocked, and Luo Qing asked, "Even the cultivators have been infected with the plague? What kind of plague is this, it is so powerful." ”

"Not all cultivators will be infected with the plague, according to the latest news, all of the cultivators who are infected with the plague are below the Sensing Realm. "Red Cloud Road.

"It seems that we have to find out what kind of plague this is, it is so domineering that even cultivators can be infected. Luo Qing said after a moment of contemplation.

Hearing this, Hongyun said: "This plague is a bit inexplicable, it seems to have happened directly overnight, which is unguardable. ”

"Anyway, we have to find a way to save people first, there are so many 20 million people in the city, I can't just wait to die, I need your help!" Luo Qing said.

Hongyun smiled and said, "Brother-in-law, just say it, what do you need me to do?"

"I need some blood from cultivators who have been stricken with the plague, the higher the cultivation, the better!" Luo Qing said.

Hongyun was a little curious, so he asked, "What does my brother-in-law want this blood for?" ”

"Let me tell you, Luo Qing is a sixth-order alchemist, and of course he wants blood to study what kind of plague it is. Hongxia said suddenly.

"Alchemist, it's still a sixth-order. Looking at Luo Qing's age, it is estimated that he is younger than himself, so when he heard the words of the sixth-order alchemist, Hongyun was a little surprised, and said: "Sister, why don't you give me this man, you have more ability than me, just find a better one." ”

"Can a man let him do it casually? You're still poor, now let's get down to business!" Hongxia didn't have a good breath.

"Oh, get down to business!" Hongyun puffed out his mouth and said, "Brother-in-law, I can understand that you want to study the plague, but why do you want to cultivate the blood of a person with a high realm?"

"Think about it, the higher the cultivation realm, the stronger the body's immunity, the plague will naturally emit the most powerful lesion ability in the face of people with such high immunity, so it will save a lot of time to study. Luo Qing said with a smile.

"Brother-in-law is really smart, why don't you take me in, I'll wait for you with my sister!" Hongyun said with a grin.

Hearing this, Hongxia, who had just taken a sip of tea, was choked again, so she scolded: "You are still poor, believe it or not, I will smoke you." ”

"Hmph, stingy. Hongyun stuck out his tongue at Hongxia, and then said to Luo Qing: "Brother-in-law, it is estimated that it is a bit difficult to obtain the blood of the cultivator who should cultivate the most, because he is from the Li family. ”

Hearing this, Luo Qing was also a little surprised and asked, "Who is this Li family?"

"It's the elder brother of the current head of the Li family! Their father is Li Ming, the previous head of the Li family. Hongyun said.

"Are the Li Ming family heads and his wife still alive?" Luo Qing asked, but his expression was a little weird, making people feel incomprehensible.

"They are all powerhouses in the Xuan Realm, and they have a lifespan of up to a thousand years, so they are naturally still alive!" Looking at Luo Qing's strange expression, Hongyun asked, "Brother-in-law, what's wrong with you?"

"Shhhhhh

Luo Qingqiang pretended to smile and said, "It's okay, you don't need to trouble you about the blood, I will take it myself." ”

After speaking, Luo Qing threw Hongyun a white jade bottle, Hongyun looked confused, and asked, "Brother-in-law, what is this?"

"When we meet for the first time, I don't have anything to give you, aren't you already at the peak of your senses, give you a pill, and you will break through tonight!" Luo Qing said with a smile.

Hongyun smiled and asked Hongxia, "Is my brother-in-law usually so arrogant?"

"Hmph, where is he proud, he hooks up with girls like this every time!" Hongxia looked at Luo Qing angrily and said.
