In the blink of an eye, it was late autumn, which was the season of harvest and surplus, but there were many refugees in Yecheng, all of whom were begging to live, complaining bitterly.

"Today's Mansion Yin Shangjuan, there are many refugees pouring into Yecheng, what's going on?" The Light Saint Emperor pinched his eyebrows, extremely upset.

"Your Majesty, it was the plague that gave birth to Zhaocheng, and the surrounding villages were afraid of disaster, so they fled to Yecheng." Zhao Guang, who patrolled the city, took a step forward and truthfully reported what he had seen.

Hearing the word plague, the Light Saint Emperor covered his mouth and nose, and said in a deep voice: "Quickly expel them from the city, and those who follow the city will not be allowed to enter or leave from now on." ”

"Your Majesty, you should send someone to deal with the plague." As soon as Zhao Guang heard this, he knew that the emperor was ready to sacrifice tens of thousands of people in Zhaocheng, although this practice could control the spread of the plague, but the people of Zhaocheng were so innocent.

"Absurd, the plague is a natural disaster, it is the punishment of heaven, how can they implicate others for these sinners."

"Your Majesty......"

Zhao Guang wanted to speak again, but was dismissed by the Light Saint Emperor, "Presumptuous!"

"Father, my son-in-law thinks that what the imperial history said is quite reasonable, it is better to arrange a safe person to go to Zhaocheng to deal with the plague, so as to show the benevolence of my father." When Xiao Wei heard this, he thought about it, and a vicious plan appeared in his mind.

"What is the prince's plan?" The Light Saint Emperor has always loved Xiao Wei, and now that he speaks, he agrees with his statement.

"When King Heng was guarding the border, he successfully dealt with the plague on the border, and this disaster in the city must be King Heng."

"Father, the son thinks it's inappropriate, King Heng is the prince, how can he go to Zhaocheng in danger." When Xiao Xun heard Xiao Xun's words, he knew that he had bad intentions, and before the Light Saint Emperor could speak, he stopped him.

Xiao Mo didn't care about this matter, he has always pursued the saying 'Mandate of Heaven', if God blesses him, even if he is in danger, he is still fine, if God does not bless him, who can live in peace.

Xiao Wei glanced at Xiao Xun sideways, and then said, "What does King Qi mean by this, do you want to go by yourself?"

"You ......"

Xiao Xun was so angry that when he wanted to argue, he heard Xiao Mo speak, "Erchen is willing to go." The last thing he wants to see is that his fourth brother is calculated.

"Quasi-play." After the Holy Emperor of Light issued a holy decree, he retired from the court.

"Third brother, the plague land, how can you ......" Xiao Xun followed Xiao Mo worriedly, with a solemn face.

Xiao Mo smiled and said, "With today's court momentum, it's either me or you, how can I let you go." ”

"This Xiao Wei is simply too deceitful!" Xiao Xun's chest kept rising and falling, how could he be such a vicious big brother.

"Okay, if you are worried about me, take care of everyone in the house for me, I think Xiao Wei is not just sending me to Zhaocheng." Xiao Mo patted Xiao Xun's shoulder, intending to make him feel relieved.

"You mean Xiao Wei still has a backhand?"

"I hope he's not so mean, be careful, it's not a bad thing."

"Third brother, don't worry, I will definitely take care of everyone in the house."

After Xiao Mo said goodbye to Xiao Xun, he returned to King Heng's Mansion, and as soon as he entered Yiyun Palace, he saw Xia Man's gloomy appearance, so he asked, "What's wrong?"

"Uncle Zhong said that you were sent to Zhaocheng to deal with the plague, but is it true?" Xia Man pulled Xiao Mo to sit down and poured him a cup of hot tea.

Xiao Mo took the tea, took a sip, and praised: "The tea art has improved a lot. ”

"What do you ask?" Xia Man raised his voice, obviously dissatisfied with this answer.

"What are you anxious about, it's just the plague, it's not a difficult thing." Xiao Mo looked at Xia Man's appearance and couldn't help but smile at the corner of his mouth.

"It's not to dig for treasure, what's so funny." Xia Man glanced at the people.

"Didn't you say 'blessings and misfortunes depend on each other', why don't you understand now?"

"That's the plague! Pestilence! It is to die. "Xia Man has witnessed this disease called 'plague' from the ancient books of the past dynasties, a careless will be a catastrophe, Rao is modern, once the plague breaks out, it is a problem, not to mention this backward Southern Dynasty.

"Alright, you can wait in the mansion for me to return safely." Xiao Mo was confident, the plague last time failed to help him, and this time it was the same.

In the early morning of the next day, Xiao Mo got up early, and after explaining some things to Uncle Zhong, he said goodbye to everyone in the mansion, except for Mrs. Qiuyun, who was under house arrest, the rest of the wives and concubines came, Liu Wuwu was in the front, and Feng Ruoqing and the rest of the concubines followed.

"Lord Wang, this trip is dangerous, take care." Liu Wuwu respectfully blessed the blessing.

Feng Ruoqing put on a purse containing herbs for Xiao Mo, and the corners of his eyes were a little moist, "Lord Wang, be careful." ”

"Alright, let's go back." Xiao Mo had a headache, especially the concubines in the back, who were crying with pear blossoms and rain, which was really annoying.

Seeing Xiao Mo like this, Liu Wuwu was relieved, and said, "The prince should go out quickly, the concubine will wait to send the prince." ”

Xiao Mo glanced at Xia Man, who was standing at the end, before leaving the palace and galloping towards Zhaocheng.

The master of the palace left, and the people who saw them off also went back to their own bedrooms, and Xia Man also went to Yiyun Palace, and just after walking a few steps, he was stopped by Zhong Si, "Miss Xia Man, please wait a minute." ”

Xia was full of doubts, saluted Zhong Si, and asked, "Is there something wrong with Uncle Zhong looking for me?"

"The prince instructed before leaving, if the girl has anything, she can go to the Illusion Pavilion to find the Thousand Shadow Prince."

"Got it, thank you Uncle Zhong." Xia Man thanked him, then turned around and walked outside the house, just to ask Qianying about something.

Not long after, Xia Man saw Qianying, and at a glance, he saw him lying on the couch, playing with a green jade bead in his hand, which was probably 'taken' in the prince's mansion last time.

"Yo, Xia Man is here, sit down, sit down." Qianying put away the blue beads and sat down to greet Xia Man.

Xia Man was not polite to him, and asked, "King Heng is going to Zhaocheng here, do you have a way to keep him safe." ”

Hearing this, Qianying smiled at the corner of his mouth, took out a handful of colorful pills from his sleeve, raised his eyebrows, and said: "These are the treasures in my Illusion Pavilion, the plague is naturally not a problem, before leaving, I have already given him many pills, don't worry." ”

"That'll be fine." Xia Man's worried heart relaxed slightly.

While the two were talking, Xiao Xun's voice came from the door, "Thousand Shadows!"

"Look, it's really a lively day." Qianying stretched his waist and asked the person who stepped through the door, "Why is King Qi here?"

Xiao Xun was about to speak, when he caught a glimpse of Xia Man on the side, his face was calm, and he was a little dissatisfied, "Why is she here." ”

"See King Qi." As soon as Xia Man raised his eyes, he saw Xiao Xun's face, so he had to say hello first.

"It's all your own people, don't be so rushed, sit down." Qianying got up and pressed Xiao Xun on the stool, and said, "It's hard for you to get the Illusion Pavilion, why did you come today?"

Xiao Xun glared at Xia Man, Xia Man understood in his heart, probably he was there, hindered his eyes, shook his head, and was about to get up and leave, but was stopped by Qianying, "Don't go yet." ”

"King Qi, your third brother is at ease, aren't you at ease?" Chikage quipped.

Xiao Xun snorted coldly, "Who knows what evil the third brother has fallen into." ”

"Alright, let's get down to business." In Qianying's eyes, Xiao Xun is still an immature person in the end.

"Today, I went down to the court, and the dark line told me that Liu Wuwu went to the queen's palace and stayed for two hours before coming out, I'm afraid that she is planning something."

"Xiao Mo is not here, the prince will naturally make moves, pay more attention." Qianying had already arranged a lot of people from the Illusion Pavilion around King Heng's Mansion, and he was afraid that the prince would secretly do it.

When Xia Man heard this, he remembered the scene of Zhang Yu reporting to the prince in the military camp, and couldn't help but think a lot, and asked, "Do you have the dark pattern paper of the prince's mansion in your hand?" ”

"That's not true, but if you want it, I can get it, but why do you want this thing?" Chikage didn't understand Xia Man's intentions.

"I have a feeling that this thing will always be useful." Xia Man often recalled the art of war in ancient books, and found that there was a chapter in the book, perhaps, with the things of the prince's mansion, there would be a bargaining chip.

"Okay, I'll send someone to bring it to you when I get it." Xiao Mo explained that Xia Man would do his best to meet her if he had any request, and of course, the remuneration was also very generous.

After the three of them finished talking, they went about their own business, and in the afternoon, Qianying quietly handed the paper with the dark pattern of dragon scales into Xia Man's hands.
