Mingyuexi subconsciously closed her eyes, her heart was full of fear. However, after waiting for a long time, the pain did not come, but there was a clanging sound in her ears.

Slowly opened her eyes to see that the long knife had fallen to the ground, and the long back stood in front of her, shielding her from all dangers.

"Yanbai?" Her words trembled, and she stared at the person in front of her in surprise.

The men in black who attacked her had fallen in a pool of blood, but there were still about ten men in black around them. Gu Yan held the long sword in his white hand, his whole body was shrouded in murderous aura, and his eyes were reflected with a black that was close to bloodthirsty.

Gu Yanbai turned around and put his hand on Mingyuexi's eyes, fell gently, and said softly, "Xiaoxi, close your eyes." ”

At this moment, Mingyuexi was frightened, didn't think much about it, just did what Gu Yanbai said.

The sound of swords and swords in her ears continued, and she was worried about Gu Yanbai in her heart. But she still chose to stay where she was, and in her heart she had to believe that he would solve it.

The main thing is to summon rashly now, which will inevitably cause unnecessary trouble.

I don't know how long it took, but the warm voice rang in my ears again: "You can open your eyes." ”

Hearing this, Ming Yuexi immediately opened her eyes, and then carefully checked Gu Yanbai's situation.

"Are there any injuries?" No matter how she pushed Gu Yanbai away from her side, her concern for her never diminished.

Seeing her attitude, the corners of Gu Yanbai's mouth rose, revealing a smile, as if all the tenderness had been rubbed in.

"Fool, how could I have something." He whispered comfortingly.

At this time, Mingyuexi noticed that all the people under her feet were in black, and there was no life.

"Don't look at this, stay here soon, let's leave first." Gu Yanbai covered Mingyuexi's eyes again, pulled her and left here.

Out of the alley, Gu Yanbai wanted to escort Mingyuexi back. Coincidentally, when I just turned into another alley, I unexpectedly ran into the Seventh Princess and Xia Nanfeng.

She looked at Gu Yanbai's hand holding Mingyuexi, her face worried. The anger in his abdomen rose suddenly, and it was even more difficult to control.

I saw the Seventh Princess striding forward, and everyone was caught off guard, and just raised her hand and threw it at Mingyuexi's face.

With a snap, this slap is particularly clear.

"What are you doing!" When Gu Yanbai saw it, he immediately protected Mingyuexi behind him and stepped forward angrily.

If it weren't for the fact that the seventh princess was a woman, this slap would have been returned.

The seventh princess glared at Mingyuexi angrily, not caring about Gu Yanbai's questioning at all, only roaring angrily: "You slut, why did you rob my man, what are you." ”

She wanted to try to step forward again, but fortunately, Gu Yan's white eyes quickly grabbed her hand.

The strength of his wrist gradually increased, if Mingyuexi hadn't stopped it in time, Gu Yanbai, who was angry, was afraid that he would pinch it to death.

Her skin was already red, and tears came out of her eyes, and the seventh princess was extremely aggrieved: "You murdered me for this slut, but this princess is your wife." I'm going back now to tell my father that I want her to die without a place to bury!" ”

She pointed at Mingyuexi full of indignation, and ran away after speaking.

However, Gu Yanbai didn't care about the Seventh Princess, he was only worried about the situation in Mingyuexi.

Xia Nanfeng watched everything as if he was fine, and it wasn't until the Seventh Princess left completely that he stepped forward to hold Mingyuexi's hand: "Xiaoxi is my person, don't bother with the little marquis." ”

The seventh princess went back angrily, and the person ran directly towards the imperial study, and said all the things she wanted today. Of course, in her words, these are all Mingyuexi's fault.

"Father, you have to make decisions for me. Otherwise, she would definitely have taken her daughter's life in order to fight for Yanbai. The seventh princess cried and cried, holding the emperor's sleeve and crying vigorously.

Things have come to this point, and the emperor will never tolerate it.

He patted the seventh princess on the back: "Good daughter, don't cry." Leave this matter to my father, and he will definitely give you an answer. Then there was a hint of calculation in his eyes.

Since that day, the Seventh Princess has not come to Gu Yanbai, and he is also running around for the prince's affairs.

On this day, Cheng Yu hurriedly came in from outside, and saw that he looked anxious, as if something urgent had happened.

He wiped the sweat from his forehead and panted slightly: "Master, something happened." There were dead people at the south gate of the city, and now they were in chaos. The prince said that he still has urgent matters in his hands at the moment, so let you go first. ”

"Dead people?" Gu Yanbai looked puzzled, obviously not understanding what he meant.

Sudden death in broad daylight is not simple.

He didn't have time to think about it, so he set off and headed for the south of the city.

As Cheng Yu said, it's a complete mess here. Fortunately, the yamen came in time to isolate the people, which was a little better.

"How's it going?" Gu Yanbai stepped forward to interrogate directly, and Cheng Yu also cooperated and took out the token of the Hou Mansion.

When the yamen saw it, he knew it in his heart, and immediately told him about the situation: "The person died suddenly at noon, and after the examination, there were no obvious injuries on his body. The cause of death is still being investigated, and there are no documents on the deceased to prove his identity. But it seems that he should have defected to the capital from other places. ”

After knowing the news, Gu Yanbai also had a rough idea in his heart.

He stepped forward to check one or two and found that the deceased had a yellow face and thin muscles. It's not so much a defection to the capital, but more like an escape.

However, Gu Yanbai's attention was on the body of the pretend, and he saw that the pretence was solemn, fiddling left and right. After half a sound, he suddenly screamed, retreated again and again, and shouted: "This...... It's a plague! ”

The people who had been watching here before were in a panic and uproar when they heard this. Even the officials, including the officials, retreated en masse.

Gu Yanbai glanced at the dead body: "Don't talk nonsense? ”

He shook his head: "Little Marquis, how dare your subordinates talk nonsense, this ...... It's the plague! ”

As soon as they heard about the plague, the rest of the people still cared about the excitement and fled.

If it weren't for Gu Yanbai again, the officials would probably have slipped away.

Compared with everyone's emotions, Gu Yanbai was very calm. His eyes drooped slightly, and his cold gaze stared at the dead body on the ground, as if thinking about something.

After a long time, Gu Yanbai said coldly: "Immediately spark the corpse, and I will immediately enter the palace to face the saint." ”

After changing his clothes, Gu Yanbai walked towards the palace without stopping. After reporting the situation, the emperor immediately summoned the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs. After searching the various places, find out the folds sent by Changnan next door today.

The plague appeared a month ago, and it was thought it could be controlled. As a result, the outbreak broke out rapidly in half a month, and five local villages died of plague infection, and countless other places were infected.

After half a day of discussion, the emperor handed over the matter to Gu Yanbai to deal with. He did not dare to delay and immediately set off for Changnan.
