Chapter 262 Storm
When his body was submerged in warm water, the tiredness in Xiao He's heart suddenly disappeared without a trace, and he moved his limbs, and the bruises and purple marks on them looked really terrifying.
Thinking of Yan Lang's injury again, Xiao He felt sad for a while, in comparison, he was lucky enough.
The water temperature gradually cooled, Xiao He got up, changed into clean clothes, and called the maidservant to pour out the dirty water, and went to the accommodation arranged by Shen Suhang for her to rest.
Maybe it was because he was too tired, as soon as Xiao He closed his eyes, he fell asleep peacefully.
Early the next morning, after Xiao He finished washing, he took the lead in going to Yan Lang's room.
Shen Suhang seemed to be extremely tired, and fell asleep lying on the side of Yan Lang's bed, and Xiao He made a "squeaking" sound when he entered the room, but it didn't make him wake up.
But Yan Lang on the bed raised his head slightly, his ears were pricked up, and he quietly listened to the footsteps of people entering the room.
It wasn't until Xiao He stood quietly beside his bed that he spoke, and his voice was very firm, "Lord Xiao." ”
Xiao He smiled, but was a little surprised, "How do you know it's me?" ”
Yan Lang pursed his lips, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, but he didn't know whether he was smiling bitterly or mocking, "With the voice, since you can't see, your ears are naturally better than others." ”
For a while, Xiao He didn't know how to answer, so he sat on a wooden chair not far from him, quietly guarding him, "Do you feel better today?" ”
Yan Lang didn't answer the question, "My lord, can my subordinates trouble you with something?" ”
"What?" Xiao He pinched the corner of the side of his clothes, and a thin layer of sweat broke out of his palm.
"At this time, after the disaster relief is over, can you help me intercede in front of the emperor and let me go home?" In Yan Lang's words, for the first time, he revealed his yearning for home.
He was sold into the palace at the age of ten and became a personal guard trained by Mu Churan, and he has always been loyal to Mu Churan for seven years.
In the past seven years, he has experienced cruel training, Mu Churan treats them very well, but no matter how good he is, he will be homesick.
Even though, his father and mother sold him to Mu Churan for the ten taels of silver.
It's not that I haven't hated, but no matter how much I hate, after so many years, hate has long turned into a strong yearning and memory for home.
"Okay, when the time comes, I will help you tell the emperor." Xiao He's nose was sore, and he almost cried, but after holding back his life, he spoke with a little nasal voice.
The thick gauze blocked Yan Lang's face, Xiao He couldn't see his expression, and Shen Suhang also moved his body and woke up leisurely.
When he saw her, Shen Suhang was shocked, "Lord Xiao, you came to see Yan Lang so early?" ”
"Hmm." Xiao He replied lightly, his fair face was still expressionless, and he looked at Shen Suhang and said, "Lord Shen slept well last night?" ”
"Okay." Shen Suhang secretly moved his muscles, looked at Yan Lang on the bed again, and was relieved to see that he seemed to be awake.
Although the doctor said that he didn't have any worries about his life, it was the pain of gouging out his eyes, and Shen Suhang felt that his scalp was numb when he looked at it, not to mention Yan Lang, who had experienced it personally.
It must be painful and physically and mentally exhausted.
He seemed to have woken up for a long time, but he didn't snort, and he endured the sharp pain without waking him up in the slightest.
Just as he was thinking about it, there was a rush but very regular footsteps outside, and the door opened in response, and Shen Suhang and Xiao He looked out of the door at the same time.
Ji Changge didn't seem to expect the two of them to be here, so he was shocked, and his hand holding the medicine bowl trembled, almost spilling out.
He went out to find that Lang Zhong before dawn, and then boiled it after taking the medicine, hoping that Yan Lang would get better soon after drinking the medicine.
was also scolded for going too early and knocking on the door too quickly to wake up Lang Zhong.
He was shy and begged Lang Zhong to give him all the medicines, and stayed alone in the kitchen guarding the medicine jar for an hour.
What does he want to do for Yan Lang, but after thinking about it, there is only so much he can do for Yan Lang.
After all, he couldn't empathize with the pain and pain that Yan Lang was experiencing.
"Lord Shen, Lord Xiao." Ji Changge walked up to them and wanted to salute, but was stopped by Shen Suhang, who took the medicine bowl from his hand.
Ji Changge suddenly stood aside a little cramped, scratching his ears and cheeks, not knowing what to do.
Xiao He saw that both of them were guarding here, so he got up and said goodbye to Shen Suhang, and went outside to hang out alone.
As soon as I walked a few steps in the courtyard, I met the prefect of Yuzhou.
Xiao He came too late last night, the prefect of Yuzhou had already rested, and in a daze, he heard the next person report outside that Lord Xiao sent by the imperial court for disaster relief was here.
He was so sleepy that he scolded his servant and then fell asleep again, until he got up in the morning, when he told him about it, that he realized what he had done.
After scolding his subordinates, he hurriedly came to Shen Suhang after washing, wanting to apologize to him and that Lord Xiao.
Who would have thought that before he saw Shen Suhang, he saw a handsome young man in green clothes outside, with handsome eyebrows and eyes, and his body seemed to be a little thin, but he did not lose his spirit.
There is a faint bookish atmosphere, and when looking at people, people can clearly feel his radiant spirit.
He had already received the news that Lord Xiao and Lord Shen, who were sent by the imperial court for disaster relief this time, were both young people and were deeply trusted by the emperor.
Although I don't understand why the imperial court sent two such young people to relieve the disaster, this prefect is also a human spirit, and the first moment he saw Xiao He, he knew his identity.
When he came to Xiao He, he saluted, Xiao He put his hands behind his back, and looked at him quietly, not knowing what he meant.
"Xiaguan Zheng Qiu, I've seen Lord Xiao." The person who came lowered his head and saluted and then got up, and his attitude of not being humble or arrogant made Xiao He take a look.
His attitude of not saying a word made the prefect of Yuzhou feel a little up and down, but he didn't show half a point on his face.
Xiao He didn't have any opinion on the fact that he hadn't shown up before, after all, it was late at night when she came.
Nodding towards Zheng Qiu, Xiao He walked towards the front, but did not forget to say to Zheng Qiu, "Lord Zheng will accompany me for a walk." ”
She happened to have a lot of things she wanted to ask Zheng Qiu.
"Gurgled" in his heart and played a small drum, but how dare Zheng Qiu? had no choice but to agree, and accompanied Xiao He to slowly walk towards the depths of the courtyard.
Xiao He didn't speak, and Zheng Qiu didn't dare to speak rashly, so he had to say nothing all the way.
While walking, he secretly looked at Xiao He in the back, as if he wanted to find out his bottom in detail.
However, Xiao He is not a person who will easily show his emotions, even if he observed all the way, he didn't understand Xiao He's temper.
After turning the mansion up and down, Zheng Qiu finally couldn't hold his breath, and said to Xiao He with a smile, "Lord Xiao, it's not too early at this hour, let's eat first and then turn around." ”
Xiao He glanced at Zheng Qiu, who was obviously a little panicked, and chuckled, "It's okay, then Master Zheng will lead the way." ”
Zheng Qiu walked all the way, wiped his unnecessary sweat all the way, and after taking Xiao He to the hall, he asked his entourage to call Shen Suhang over for breakfast.
Xiao He quietly glanced at the decoration in the hall, and then his eyes fell on a vase behind Zheng Qiu, and said casually, "Lord Zheng, this vase is so chic." ”
Zheng Qiu suddenly felt a cold sweat break out behind him, and smiled stiffly, "I don't dare to be, it's just some things to buy in the market and decorate the house." ”
Xiao He smiled without saying a word, picked up the teacup on the table, took a sip lightly, and did not continue to ask.
Zheng Qiu only secretly regretted why he didn't hide these things in his room.
But seeing that Xiao He didn't seem to see the mystery of the vase, as if he just thought that the vase looked chic, he breathed a sigh of relief.
I just wanted to bring the vase to the hall, and when there were guests coming, I could show off my identity and show my identity, but I forgot that now that the plague is rampant, he who is close to Ganxi should also avoid suspicion.
"Lord Zheng, it only takes two days to arrive in Jiangxi and Yuzhou, presumably many people have fled here, I wonder if there is a plague here in Lord Zheng?"
Yuzhou and Ganxi are not far away, it is said that there is a plague and natural disasters in Ganxi, there should be many people fleeing to Yuzhou, but when Xiao He came last night, he didn't see many fleeing people or beggars.
This was what shocked her the most.
At the mention of this, Zheng Qiu was finally relieved, and said with some pride, "Those who have fled, the lower officials have already sent someone to send them to the temple." ”
There was a plague in Ganxi, and Yuzhou, which was not far from Ganxi, was also affected, and he was worried that there would be a large plague like Ganxi, so he asked his men to drive all the refugees to a ruined temple.
But he still sends people to distribute food to the refugees every day and find doctors to treat them.
The people in the city of Yuzhou were afraid of being infected by the plague, and most people were willing to give some of their food to the victims.
So for a while, the plague was still well controlled by him.
"Temple?" Xiao He held the teacup in his hand for a moment, but he didn't expect Zheng Qiu to think of this way to isolate the refugees.
"Yes." Zheng Qiu didn't feel that there was anything wrong with his method, and remembered one thing again, and couldn't help but sigh a little, "It's just that later, the plague was not controlled, and there was no one in Langzhong in Yuzhou who could cure the plague, and for a while, the victims in the temple were killed and injured countless times." ”
Since those victims arrived at the temple in Yuzhou, there was no one around the temple, and those infected with the plague, fearing that it would harm others, only stayed in the temple.
"Take me to see it later." Xiao He really wanted to see how Zheng Qiu resettled these victims.
Zheng Qiuying then chatted with Xiao He, talking nothing more than about this plague and how he thought it should be solved.
Xiao He listened quietly, and occasionally responded, saying his opinion, the two of you come and go, but you don't lose their joy.
Shen Suhang came to the hall, and when he entered the room, he saw Xiao He and Zheng Qiu getting along very happily.
