Qingfeng naturally couldn't convince the king, the next day the four of them set off together, so that Mo Qi is surprise and surprise, the purpose of the king this time seems to be very strong, the four of them are riding horses all the way to the border city, and they did not delay along the way, but they came to the water county, Qingfeng and Qianlu are easy to separate from the king, and Qingfeng and Qianlu are acting in secret.

Mo Li and Mo Qi dressed up and prepared to enter the city, but they just walked outside the border city, the city gate was closed, and the guards of the city were a little less than usual.

"Has this been the case in this city? Is it sparsely populated? It always feels weird. Mo Qi asked, and before Mo Li could answer, the leader of the city asked, "Who is outside the city?" What's going on here? ”

This person is Mo Kai, with the same surname as Mo Li, because Mo Li's grandfather had saved Mo Kai's grandmother and the child in his womb when he was young, so he gave Mo Kai's father the surname Mo to repay his kindness for saving his life, and these Mo Li's grandfather naturally didn't know, of course, he didn't know when he left the king.

As for Mo Kai, he only heard his father mention it, and no matter how detailed it is, he doesn't know the details.

"I was originally from my hometown, I have been away from my hometown for many years, and today I am here to look for my relatives." Mo Qi shouted.

"Let them in!" The city wall opened, and as soon as the two entered, they were tied up by soldiers.

Mo Kai looked the two of them up and down, although this small one was average, and he couldn't see anything wrong, but although the one next to him was also clothed, his aura was full, and this kind of temperament was not an ordinary person at first glance.

"Who the hell are the two of you, no one in our small town has left their hometown for five years, when will you leave? Listen to your voice and don't be locals, speak a native dialect? Mo Kai's words made Mo Qi speechless, where did she understand this hometown dialect.

"No, big brother, we came from the direction of Mocheng, practicing medicine all the way, and happened to pass by, I don't know what happened in this city, why did we close the city gate and prevent people from entering or leaving." Mo Qi knew that he couldn't get past it, so he hurriedly changed his tone and rhetoric.

"You're a doctor?" Mo Kai was skeptical.

"Yes, yes, yes! If you don't believe it, just find a doctor and give it a try. ”

"You come with me!" The leader asked the two of them to put on scarves, and the city was empty along the way, and the sound of wailing and crying was looming, like a ghost town, which made people panic. As soon as he turned a corner, he saw a street full of people, young and old, lying on the ground, all of them covering their mouths and noses with facial towels. Mo Qi saw that he hurriedly broke away from the king's hand and ran over. I saw five people in a row, and the symptoms were the same.

"What's going on here? How many days has the illness lasted? What about the doctors here? Mo Qi asked the leader.

"Who the hell are you?" Mo Kai asked again, even more suspicious of their origins.

The two looked at each other, Mo Qi took out the plum blossom needle and whispered: "Do you know the plum blossom needle, there is also this waist card, but we are sent by the king, and I am walking with the king's ......" Mo Qi wanted to say that it was the king's guard Qianling who came to scare this general.

"Could it be General Ji Dan?" The leader saw that although Mo Li was wearing cloth clothes, his appearance was handsome and magnificent; I have always heard that although Ji Dan Qingfeng is a general, he is also a handsome son, and temperament is not something that ordinary people can imitate, and the plum blossom needle and waist card made him even more convinced, and hurriedly hugged his fists and said: "The general came so soon when he saw the letter?" Why this outfit? ”

Mo Li and Mo Qi looked at each other, but they were confused when they listened to his words.

"What letter?" Liwang asked suspiciously.

"No, this time is coming, and my messenger has not returned, so time is not so fast!" Mo Kai muttered to himself again.

"We really haven't received any letters, General Ji Dan is afraid that the two princes of Han and Zhao will make any moves, so they came to investigate the situation." Mo Qi hurriedly explained.

"Outcast, hurry up and find out the condition here with the doctor here! If there's a place to talk here, let's go in and talk. Liwang asked Mo Kai.

"Mo Kai is going to arrange it, please here!" Mo Kai wanted to bring the king into the council chamber. "Someone, arrange this girl." Mo Kai commanded.

"You're just Mo Kai?" Li Wang couldn't help but glance at him more, although this person is not a bear and a tiger, but he is also heroic and upright, with outstanding prestige, a talent, especially a pair of eyes shining.

"The general knows the last general? Could it be that the general had long expected that something would happen in the border city? Mo Kai continued to ask.

"It's late." Liwang sighed, Qingfeng had already reminded him, but at that time all the focus was on the imperial city. "What did you say in your letter?" Leaving the king and getting back to business.

"About 10 days ago, strangers came here, and soon after they left, the epidemic broke out, and the doctors in the city were helpless, so they sent people to the neighboring counties to ask for doctors, and as a result, similar outbreaks occurred in the five neighboring counties. And the spread of the epidemic is so severe that the last general has to dare to close the city first. Although the last general is a martial artist, he also understands the situation, the five counties where the epidemic spreads are the natural barrier of the Central Plains, once lost, the southwest barbarians will take advantage of the situation, and the north is mostly a plain area, and then Mocheng will be dangerous. Therefore, the last general dared to report this situation to the prince, and it has been three days since the envoy set off, and the prince should have received it according to the time. ”

"Oh? Shouldn't it be reported to the emperor? If something is reported to the king, you are putting him to death. Mo Li looked up at Mo Kai.

"Don't dare!" Mo Kai hurriedly knelt down, "I want to report to the emperor, I just hope that the king and the general can help say a few words in front of the emperor and save the people in the city." I never thought that it would affect the prince and the general, and my subordinates were derelict in their duties! ”

"I'm really right about you, you're a rare talent! We haven't received any news from the city of Mocheng, so I'm afraid those envoys will not return. ”

"The general means that someone has long been confused, so isn't this epidemic man-made?" Mo Kai continued to ask.

"Didn't General Mo ask knowingly." The king looked at him and replied.

"Yes!" Mo Kai laughed dryly.

"Not good!" Liwang suddenly stood up and patted the table. "You hurry up and send an order, increase the number of soldiers to guard the city wall, and be ready for war at any time, and at the same time send spies to inquire about the news of Han and Zhao."

"General Hui, I have sent someone to investigate, but this epidemic is spreading, and you have seen all the soldiers who can guard just now. The only hope is that the general will come with his army. It's just that this time is ......, and if someone attacks the city two days after tomorrow, the city will not be breached. Mo Kai sighed. The Southwest Barbarians have always been good at witchcraft and have a thirst for killing! Once the city is breached, the people will really have no way to survive! ”

"What would happen if Ji Dan was there?" Liwang said silently.

"What countermeasures does General Ji Dan have?" Mo Kai asked.

"You stand down first!" Liwang glanced at Mo Kai, and suddenly remembered that Mo Kai had always mistaken himself for Ji Dan Qingfeng.

Li Wang pondered, not knowing what the situation was on Qingfeng and Qianlu's side.

Before Mo Kai could leave, a soldier hurried into the hall and almost collided with Mo Kai.

"Anything is in a panic, there are no rules at all." Mo Kai reprimanded.

"Back to the two generals!" The soldier eased his emotions and cleared his throat and said: "According to the spies, a large number of bandits are coming in the direction of the border city, and it is estimated that there will be one more day to travel outside the city!" The number of people is about 10,000. ”

"Ten thousand?" Mo Kai frowned, "How is it possible, what bandit has such strength to gather ten thousand soldiers and horses?!" ”

"General Mo, you are familiar with this place, what do you think of the situation?" Liwang asked.

"Yes!" Mo Kai replied respectfully, and ordered the soldiers to go down first.

"Return to General Ji Dan!" Mo Kai walked to the map hanging on the wall and said: "There are many barbarian races in the southwest, and there are many schools, but they are good at witchcraft, although the methods are different, but if you really want to distinguish which school, sometimes there is no obvious definition. "Mo Kaixian basically talked about the overall situation here.

"Say something you don't know." Liwang's tone was a little rougher than usual, and he seemed to be in a hurry.

"Yes!" Mo Kai continued: "If you say which school can command 10,000, except for King Zhao, I'm afraid that no one has this strength. But there are only 10,000 horses, how can King Zhao personally lead it. Mo Kai was a little puzzled.

"It's just a rabble." Li Wang said disdainfully, "Don't spread the news anymore, don't affect the morale of the army; There is also the epidemic situation of the people, and the cause of the epidemic should be found out as soon as possible. Hurry down too! ”

"Yes!" Don't want to leave.

"Wait, there's one more thing you need to do personally!" Liwang whispered a few words in his ear, and Mo Kai took the order and left.

"There's still one day to go." Liwang muttered to himself, not knowing if the time had come, at this time he only hoped that Qingfeng would arrive here in time.

Mo Qi hurriedly walked in, her head was already sweating profusely. "Lord Wang, they have been poisoned by Gu, and they are not very powerful Gu, but they need to go to Xiangkou to find some medicinal materials, and there are seven poisons as medicine primers."

"You're going to Xiangkou? What the hell is that? Not allowed to go. When Wang heard this, Xiangkou was inexplicably anxious, and his tone became sharp and fast.

"What if you don't go to the people?" Mo Qiyi was in a hurry and replied, at this time she hadn't noticed the change in Liwang's mood, but she was a little puzzled.

"What people, what have they to do with you? You'll be back to Mocheng early tomorrow morning, and you won't have to worry about anything here. "The king has changed like a different person, and his expression is very serious.

"What do you say?" Mo Qi didn't understand how King Liwang could turn his face so quickly. "I'm not going, let the people here wait for death, it's all fresh lives, and there are several other counties and counties in the same situation, can you bear to watch them suffer?"

"I don't need you to lecture me, this king is ordering you now, do you hear?" The king said angrily.

"Then I'll go back to Mocheng, what about you, Lord Wang?"

"Of course I'll go back, is it possible to wait here for death? It's just a bunch of untouchables, is their life more important than this king? Liwang's tone was disdainful.

Mo Qi looked up and looked a little shocked, but after looking at it for a long time, he felt that it was understandable, no one could guess Mo Li's thoughts, he had always ignored the lives and deaths of others. Mo Qi smiled bitterly and said: "The prince is really everyone's prince, and he hasn't changed at all. You only take care of yourself, never consider the feelings of others, and other people's lives are not as good as you see. Mo Qi's heart suddenly sank, and he said very calmly: "I don't understand why a sunny and benevolent person like Ji Dan Gongzi follows you. You've let me down so much! With that, he hurried away.

"There's a lot you don't understand." Li Wang secretly said in his heart, and remembered that Mo Qi had disappointed her too much just now, and he was also a little happy.
