Huainan in late autumn is wet and cold and rainy, and successive rainy days envelop Luoxian, as if you can't see the end at a glance.

The self-isolating post station looked at the bleak and dilapidated, and there was nothing unusual about it except for the loose defenses around it.

Nan Jinyu entered the house with a medicine bowl, because she didn't eat and sleep well, which caused the dark circles under her eyes to be very heavy, except for the eyes that were still dazzling, and the whole person was almost out of shape.

"I'll do it myself."

The person lying on the bed moved, and the whole person did not appear weak or languid because of the increasingly serious condition, on the contrary, he was more positive and optimistic than before, and even had more self-deprecating spirit.

"Lie down! You don't have to do anything these days, but I will read all the official documents sent in for you, you just need to eat and sleep. ”

Nan Jinyu immediately stopped him from wanting to get up, and said with a straight face, as if he was reprimanding a disobedient child.

“……”

Xiao Chen pursed his lips, looking aggrieved, but he didn't say anything to refute it.

From the beginning of his doubts about whether he could survive to now, he has completely believed her words, although this epidemic is extremely contagious, but it is not completely incurable!

"Obediently, these days are different from before, the body has deteriorated faster, let's carry it, the back will get better and better, if you can't bear it, the follow-up will be more troublesome."

Seeing that he dared to be angry and didn't dare to speak, Nan Jinyu couldn't help but hook the corner of her lower lip, put down the medicine cup in her hand, and then turned around and sat down.

"You think I'm a three-year-old?"

Xiao Chen was dissatisfied, but instead of stopping her from feeding herself with a pillow, she became more and more well-behaved.

"Three and a half years old, no more."

Nan Jinyu laughed out loud, the gauze towel covering her face had been smoked, and she would drink one of the daily medicine herself to prevent infection.

Listening to the old man of the hundred poisons, the condition of the guards in the two foreign countries did not continue to deteriorate, indicating that the mild illness has been controlled, and Xiao Chen, the most seriously ill person, also has hope.

“……”

Xiao Chen was speechless, since he received a real job in front of the palace at the age of ten, it seems that there are only a few days to really rest, there is no need to approve the excerpt, someone reads and writes the secret letter, he only needs to move his mouth, and his clothes come to reach out for food to open his mouth, if he is not seriously ill and can't bathe at this time, he thinks that even bathing is served by someone......

Not! It seems like a good idea to let this fox take care of the bath, and when he is well, he can try it.

"Ah...... Mouth. ”

Nan Jinyu saw that he was actually smirking in a daze, thinking that he was afraid of drinking medicine, so she winked at him and coaxed a child's tone.

"Is the medicine cold?"

Xiao Chen frowned, and saw a small plate on the tray next to him, in which sticky tooth candy was placed, and couldn't help sighing, he hadn't eaten the candy made by this fox for a long time.

"It's not hot, eat some sugar after eating."

Nan Jinyu thought she had seen through his thoughts, so she continued to coax with kind words.

"I don't need a spoon, I'll just drink it."

Xiao Chen sighed deeply, took the medicine cup and drank it in one gulp, with a sickly look on his pale face, looking at a kind of fragile beauty.

"Eating Candy ......"

Nan Jinyu hurriedly stuffed a piece of sugar into his mouth, she knew how bitter this medicine was, even the old man with a hundred poisons said that those guards cried and drank every time they took medicine, and even bet with each other who couldn't drink it.

"It's unpalatable."

Xiao Chen was dissatisfied, as if he was simply complaining about this medicine and sugar, and the taste changed in Nan Jinyu's ears, after all, she had to make the sugar!

"It's been a busy couple of days...... After two days and you're not busy, I'll make you candy again? ”

Nan Jinyu stretched out her hand and rubbed his hair, which was a little stiff because of his illness, so she simply took a comb and combed his hair for him, completely looking like a spoiled child.

"That's not necessary, when you return to Yanjing, it's not too late for you to do it, I'm just talking."

Xiao Chen pouted, he, a patient, was so busy that she didn't touch the ground, where could she bear to let her boil sugar, and it was only right to sleep more if she had that effort.

"Well, that's fine."

Nan Jinyu closed her eyes and nodded, yawned and turned around to pack her things out, and then continued to go to the window to read the secret letter, and went to work as a laborer for free.

Outside the city of Los Angeles.

Yebai and Tsing Yi have been staying here for nearly half a month, and the characters of the displaced people are very heavy, but they have been doing well, and there are few things that go wrong.

The deputy chief would send someone out every day to send a message to tell them about the situation of the post station, one was to calm the morale of the army, and the other was to give them hope.

At first, everyone only thought that the news was comforting them, and it was not until recently that a mildly ill guard was able to live a normal life, and everyone's hanging hearts were relaxed.

"Xiaobai, today's material check has been processed, and the total number is correct."

Tsing Yi handed over the thick notebook and leaned on the pillar next to the tent, so sleepy that his upper and lower eyelids were fighting.

"It's going to take a while on my side, you can go and rest first, don't worry about me."

Ye Bai didn't raise his head, staring at the guards who were carrying the supplies, and after a while, he realized that it was Tsing Yi who was talking to him, not a cat or dog who could be left out in the cold, and his face wrinkled with regret.

"Ouch hey......"

"What's wrong?"

Tsing Yi opened his eyes and stared at him suspiciously, "Is it uncomfortable?" ”

The epidemic caused panic in the guard camp, but in addition to taking their medicine on time, there was no gossip on the side.

At the beginning of the epidemic in Luo County, the news of the lockdown was also very fast, and there was almost no leakage!

"No, it's okay! Sister Tsing Yi, have you eaten it? It's past noon now, and it's going to rain again! ”

Yebai yawned, handed the work in his hand to others, and turned to her.

"Not yet, haven't you eaten yet? Work harder and eat together for a while. ”

Tsing Yi glanced at him, looked at the young man who had become black and thin in front of him, and the apprehension in his heart gradually faded.

The child she thought had already grown into a teenager, whether it was kung fu or something else, she was no longer the little kid who followed her, but she was the only one who couldn't see clearly, and she never accepted him.

"Hey, okay!"

Yebai smiled and nodded, the pair of dimples on the baby's face were still cute, and it seemed that he would only smile so happily when he was facing her.

The two were talking, and the smile on their faces was still there, but they saw a horse galloping towards the camp in the distance, and the guards on it were wearing the standard light armor of the Southern Patrol guards, and they were crumbling on the fast horses.

"Report - someone is hurt!"

The guards who passed the news almost instantly became a broken gong, and the entire camp exploded.

"Help!"

Yebai was the first to rush out, rushing straight to the side of the horse that had fled and fell, and there were already guards catching the fallen man, his face full of horror.

"What's going on? What happened? ”

"There are unknown enemy soldiers who release cold arrows, poof! Poof! As soon as the fleeing guard said a word, he began to vomit blood, and several arrows pierced his body almost pierced his body.

"Who dares to do that?"

Yebai quickly lit up several of the opponent's big holes, and forcibly poured neatly into the opponent's heavenly spirit cover, and his eyes were about to split.

"The local army, they are too many, too many, remind His Royal Highness King Qin...... Heart! ”

The guard barely finished the last sentence, and the whole person collapsed, and he was no longer breathing.

"Someone! Queue back to the city! The Aquila Department spreads the news! ”

Yebai put down the person in his arms, said sharply, and turned to look at Tsing Yi behind him, "You ride a horse and go first!" Our Highness. ”

"Less nonsense, let's go together."

Tsing Yi raised his eyebrows, quietly let the horse out, and sent someone to bring Fang Cai's corpse back to the city.

“……”

Yebai pursed her lips, wanting to get angry but found that she couldn't accuse her of anything, so she had to pull someone on her horse and protect her as much as possible.

Dozens of miles outside Luo County.

A large number of displaced people dragged their families to the front, followed by a uniform army, but there were many people but they seemed extremely lazy, and if you didn't look closely, you couldn't tell that they belonged to the same state capital.

"Is there anyone else who has received any money? Those who have received the silver will go forward, and when they arrive in Luo County, they will be able to get the resettlement fee issued by the imperial court, although it will not make you rich overnight, but it is enough for everyone to buy a house to live in, and then do some small business! ”

The leading guards shouted back and forth on their horses, and as soon as someone in front of them said that the copper coins were dropped, the homeless people who received the money dragged their families and ran forward, without considering whether these words were true or not......

"How's it going?"

In the middle of the army, an extremely luxurious carriage lifted the curtain, and the people sitting in it were very familiar, and the appearance of probing their heads was a little funny.

"Master Zhu, don't worry! You haven't finished the bait yet, and you're about to bear fruit? "The Seven Realms

"Lord Xu, it's not that I, Zhu, am in a hurry, but ...... I heard that there are a lot of talented people around King Qin, what if, right! ”

Lord Zhu yawned, and all he was thinking about was the silver he had hidden safely.

What is he willing to nest in that Fufeng County where birds don't lay eggs for so many years? Isn't it just the silver used for the elderly?

I disliked him and thought that those dancing girls would be able to settle the matter, but he didn't want those dancing girls to be poisoned, and they fled to death, and there was no one left!

In this way, even if he wanted to be alone, it would be impossible......

"In case it's too much! Master Zhu, think about it, are my eldest brother and third brother also very comparable? As a result, there is no way to carry this point, the person has been escorted to Dongchuan Mansion, and life and death are uncertain! ”

In the low-key carriage next to him, the person who spoke kept wiping his knife all the time, but the thin black man sitting next to him looked much calmer.

"Lord Xu is right, we are here with great momentum, if we fail...... But how is it good! ”

When Lord Zhu remembered Xiao Chen's appearance, he couldn't help but muttered a little in his heart.

The nobles of Yanjing wanted the life of His Royal Highness King Qin, but they gave them such a vague order, and now that they are here, I don't know why they are so worried in their hearts?

"Defeat? Lord Zhu is joking? Among our 30,000 state soldiers, there are also veterans who have fought in battles, so it is not good to deal with a southern patrol convoy without troops? Who do you look down on? ”

Lord Xu was not happy, so he opened the curtain and spoke more heavily.

"Hehehe, don't mind Lord Xu, Zhu is timid, let's all listen to Lord Xu! Hehe, hehe......"

Master Zhu sighed silently in the bottom of his heart, staring at the letter on the table in a sullen daze.

News soon spread back to the post station from outside the city.

Nan Jinyu was just about to lie down and rest, when he heard a chaos outside the post station, and the panicked roar almost uncontrollably penetrated into his ears.

"Your Highness, your worst concern is indeed here."

Nan Jinyu pursed her lips, her eyes stayed outside the city of Yima Pingchuan, and she was suddenly stunned.

"Sure enough, I still chose this method, which shows that Ji Lingfeng has also gained something in Dongchuan Mansion!"

Xiao Chen turned his face, his overly pale face still didn't have any blood, when he was weak a few days ago, the Gu poison also had a few attacks, and when it was serious, it was only after taking a fierce medicine to contain it.

It's only been a day since the news was released, and sure enough, those people couldn't hold back their crooked thoughts.

Knock knock!

"Master, the city gate has been successfully blocked as planned, according to the spies, the other party has mobilized the troops of more than a dozen surrounding counties, and it seems that they are determined to fight us."

Night Charm stood outside the door, a little panicked in her heart.

Nightshade hasn't been back since the theft of the Silver Calamity, and according to his master's plan, he should have returned today......

"Well, are they all here?"

Xiao Chen's eyebrows were faint, his gaze stayed on Nan Jinyu's face and said, "Everything is according to the plan, you have full control." ”

"Yes! The subordinates will not be dishonored! ”

Night Charm responded, and the uneasiness in her heart still couldn't be let go after all, and said, "Master, is the county lord going to go out of the city as planned?" ”

"You're a big-headed ghost!"

Without waiting for Xiao Chen to speak, Nan Jinyu scolded back, "Deputy Leader, has he been stupid lately?" My doctor is gone, and your master doesn't want to die? ”

"This ...... Ahem! It was the subordinates who were not well considered, and the county lord was angry. ”

Night Charm coughed a few times in embarrassment, there was indeed no such thing as His Highness being infected with the epidemic in their plan before, and it was really him who had a lot of trouble!

"Xiao Yu stays here, the Famous Sword Villa is three hundred miles away, and it is not safe to run into the encircled army when you go out of the city."

Xiao Chen hooked the corner of his lower lip and glanced at Nan Jinyu dotingly.

This fox is getting more and more arrogant, but he just thinks that this appearance of teeth and claws is what she really looks like, and she doesn't even pay attention to the night ghost and night shadow, if it is a few years longer......

"Yes! Subordinates understand. ”

The Night Charm took the order, and her expression was strange and unpredictable.

Nan Jinyu, who originally wanted to take a nap, was completely sleepy now, although she didn't ask Xiao Chen's plan carefully, but she knew that Yeying had been gone for some days and had not returned.

"What? Don't you sleep? ”

Xiao Chen saw that she began to be stunned again, and felt a little sorry in his heart.

Originally, there was nothing to worry about her, but now she has to worry about it almost every day, plus taking care of herself, most of them are tired.

"I can't sleep!"

Nan Jinyu rubbed her temples, sat down by the window, and reclassified the secret letters on the table, and sorted them again in order of priority.

"I'm sorry to worry you."

Xiao Chen sighed a little, if she hadn't broken in that day, the person who was with him now might be Ye Mei or Ye Bai, although they were more worry-free than her, but he still hoped that she would stay.

"Why does what Your Highness said a little awkward?"

Nan Jinyu knew what he was thinking, and deliberately teased.

Sick people are easy to show vulnerability, Xiao Chen is no exception, after experiencing the battle of life and death, his attachment to himself has not subsided, and he will naturally feel guilty.

"And what do you want me to do?"

Xiao Chen thought about it and said with a serious face.

Knock knock!

The two were still chatting, and there was another hurried knock at the door, but this time it wasn't Night Ghost.

"His Royal Highness the King of Qin, a large number of displaced people outside the city have gathered, pouring from the east and west city gates to the city gates, seeing more and more, they are all clamoring to open the door and release people."

It was Mu Bai, the commander of the guards of the Southern Tour, who had almost done it with Nan Jinyu before, so he kept a low-key guard at the post station every day, neither inviting merit nor being in the limelight, and was as low-key as an ordinary guard.

"Let your men take turns guarding the city, and no one shall open the door and let anyone in."

Xiao Chen restrained his expression, and his tone of voice sounded the slightest difference from before.

"Guard?"

Mu Bai was stunned, thinking of the situation in the city, he suddenly understood a little.

"Guard."

Xiao Chen sighed, the night shadow has not returned for a long time, something must have happened, if they can't wait for reinforcements, they will definitely not be able to open the city gate and release people.

Since the other party instigated the displaced people to take the lead, the purpose naturally could not be simply to create momentum and exert pressure, but I am afraid that there will be even more unpopular means......

"Yes! The subordinates will not be dishonored! ”

Mu Bai was ordered to go out, looking like he was looking at death, and he looked a little sad when he was reflected in the autumn sunset.

"Can you hold it? Just the broken gates......"

Nan Jinyu pursed her lips, and the color of confusion was overflowing.

Defending the city meant that someone would be sacrificed, and if it was the rebels who had received benefits, she would naturally be indifferent, but ...... The other party is an ordinary person, and it is still a person who has lost his home and relatives, so she can't bear it in her heart.

"If you can't keep it, you have to keep it."

Xiao Chen frowned, but there was still no panic on his face.

"The other party may not dare to attack head-on, and will definitely incite the homeless people to make trouble and take the lead, I have a way to ......"

Nan Jinyu thought about it and planned to break the jar.

"What's the method?"

Xiao Chen smiled, thinking that this fox was frightened by this situation, and he didn't want her to be afraid at all.

"To put it simply, it is to treat others the way they do!"

Nan Jinyu looked sad, raised his hand and drew a circle on the map of the city gates on both sides, "The gathering of homeless people to riot is the worst outcome, compared to the rumors of silver, what are they most afraid of?" ”

"Xiao Yu means to ......"

Xiao Chen frowned, although killing people was a one-time method, but those people were innocent after all.

"Make a fake assassin go over, spread the news that the assassin has contracted the epidemic, and then wait for them to slap themselves in the face, the displaced people are scattered, and the rest of the people are not worried, right?"

Nan Jinyu rubbed her eyebrows, this demon thought she was going to spread the virus?

Is that kind of person, really!

"Well, that's a good idea...... Xiao Chen glanced at her and said, "But who is going?" ”
