Chapter 233: Emergency Evacuation
Steward Li and Jiang Sheng arranged very well, those poisoned people lined up one by one, and received the prepared medicinal materials at the door of the pharmacy designated by the General's Mansion, although the prescription had just been developed, but Steward Li and Jiang Sheng did not delay at all.
Xue Yi brought a team of soldiers back from the mountain to transport the water back and distributed it to the people on the side of the street, Qian Qianqian stood not far away, did not go up to disturb, but Xue Yi still found her in the crowd.
Qian Qianqian watched Xue Yi come over, squeezing out a light smile from her face, she hadn't seen Xue Yi for several days, and she couldn't keep a straight face.
"Boss Qian? How did you guys get out? Xue Yi was a little puzzled, and there was no superfluous look on her face.
"General Xiao went to the barracks outside the city again, didn't he let you go with him?" Qian Qianqian deliberately tried to be like this, Xue Yi was Xiao Mohan's personal entourage, and she must have a lot of knowledge about the situation in the military camp.
"The general only ordered his subordinates to solve the problem of the water source in Jincheng, and said nothing else."
Xue Yi bowed slightly, the meaning was already very obvious, Qian Qianqian subconsciously glanced at Jiang Sheng, only thinking that Jiang Sheng should be an old acquaintance with Xue Yi.
"The trouble of the water source outside the city is more than enough to be handed over to others, where can you personally supervise it? The general doesn't have some secrets. ”
Qian Qianqian's face did not change, and there was a touch of cunning between her delicate eyebrows, she couldn't fully believe Jiang Sheng's words, so if she could find out something from Xue Yi's mouth, it would be good.
"This subordinate doesn't know, the general has always had his reasons for doing things, and no one can spy on the general's mind, so the subordinates have always obeyed the general's orders and never disobeyed them."
Xue Yi replied without leaking, not exposing Xiao Mohan at all, but also faintly reminding Qian Qianqian.
"I see, when will you be able to go back to the General's Mansion?"
Qian Qianqian knew that Xue Yi was very smart, and it was even more difficult to find out something from Xue Yi's mouth than to ascend to the sky, so she didn't waste her lips and tongue.
"I'm afraid that the water source in the moat will no longer be available for half a year, so I have to keep carrying water from the mountains, and when the general summons his subordinates back to his home, his subordinates can go back."
Xue Yi responded unhurriedly, thinking of this, Qian Qianqian thought about it for a while, and decided to go to the moat for a walk, and Xue Yi also put down the matter at hand and accompanied her.
The moat is far less lively than before, although today is not the first day of the new year, and there is not a single common person on the riverside except for those officials who are guarding.
Although Xiao Mohan did not order Xue Yiyan to say that the river water was poisonous, the people were all seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages, knowing that there was a problem with the river, they didn't even dare to get close, and a lot of fish died in it, floating a thick layer on the water surface, and the officials had fished out a lot, but they still couldn't stand the continuous death of fish in the river.
"It would be nice if there was a rain now, as long as there was a heavy rain, the water in the river would be much cleaner, and the fish would not die so quickly."
Xue Yi looked at the white expanse in front of her, and there was a strong rancid smell around her, which made people sick, the river was dirty, and the green weeds on the bank were gradually turning yellow, and a few crows were jumping on the branches that seemed to be withered, and let out a hoarse cry.
Qian Qianqian also raised her head, the scorching sun pierced people's eyes and couldn't open them, there was originally less rain in this place on the frontier, and now it is not the rainy season, so the land is very dry.
"This thunder and rain all depends on God's decision, even if we are in a hurry, we can't help it."
Jiang Sheng spoke lightly, quite a scholarly elegance and modesty, and he didn't seem to be in a hurry at all, and he was calm in his every move.
"Having said that, if God doesn't care about it, we must always find a way to live."
Qian Qianqian lowered her eyes slightly, her long and thick eyelashes blocked the emotions under her eyes, as if she was thinking about something in her heart, and she bit her lower lip lightly.
"Boss Qian has an idea?" Xue Yi carefully observed Qian Qianqian's expression and whispered tentatively.
If this is left in modern times, Qian Qianqian must have an idea, after all, artificial rainfall is not a joke, but this is in ancient times, there are no tools, how to rain?
"Nope." Qian Qianqian came back to her senses, shook her head slightly, and smiled a little far-fetched.
Xue Yi felt a little lost in her heart, turned her eyes away, and stopped making a sound, and accompanied Qian Qianqian along the bank of the moat, without saying a word along the way.
"Did the spy we met sell lanterns ever appear again?" Qian Qianqian suddenly spoke, frowning slightly, and had some doubts in her heart.
"It never appeared again, my subordinates sent people to search the entire Jincheng, and they didn't find half a suspicious figure, those spies of the Central Kingdom were all trained in secret, and they were good at disguise, so if they didn't catch them at that time, it would be more difficult to find them than to ascend to the sky."
Xue Yi shook her head and explained in a fifteen-ten-ten, if those spies were so easy to catch, then there would probably be no spies in this Jincheng for a long time.
"Transfiguration?" Qian Qianqian chewed these three words repeatedly in her heart, she had seen it before in Caobang, but this kind of secret art of the rivers and lakes has never been passed on, so it is rarely found elsewhere, but I didn't expect Yang Guo to be proficient.
"It's getting late, we're going home, you should go and take care of the people."
Qian Qianqian's words changed, and after speaking, she turned around, left the moat, and walked straight to the general's mansion.
Jiang Sheng immediately followed, Xue Yi also nodded, and seeing Qian Qianqian walking away, she turned around and rode to the military camp outside the city.
Qian Qianqian knew that Xiao Mohan was deliberately hiding the situation in her military camp, so she didn't take the initiative to inquire again, anyway, this general's mansion was full of Xiao Mohan's people, and if she wanted to ask, she couldn't ask anything at all, so it was better to think of a way, how to purify the water source of the moat quickly?
Jiang Sheng's medicine is really useful, those people are getting better day by day, and the few people who stayed in the house to try the medicine have also survived, although Jincheng is not as lively as before, but it is not so lifeless.
Qian Qianqian still had a pimple in her heart, so she always ignored Jiang Sheng, and Jiang Sheng was no longer bored, and buried herself in the poisoned people all day long, checking the pulse of those people.
"Boss Qian, it's not good, quickly pack up your things and evacuate Jincheng."
On this day, Qian Qianqian was taking a walk in the yard, and Steward Li suddenly ran over in a hurry, with cold sweat on his forehead, blue tendons on his forehead, and his expression was full of anxiety.
"What's wrong? Why go? Qian Qianqian looked at Steward Li's expression, and became more and more puzzled in her heart, and at the same time had some ominous premonitions.
"There is a big event outside the city, and the soldiers and horses of the Central State have broken through General Xiao's defenses, and it is estimated that they will soon hit Jincheng."
Steward Li wiped the sweat from his forehead, ran out of breath, and his body couldn't help but tremble.
"What? And what about General Xiao? How is he? Qian Qianqian's heart suddenly hung in her throat, her hands clenched into fists, and she only thought about Xiao Mohan's safety.
"The general's whereabouts are unknown at the moment, and there is news coming back from outside the city, saying that the general may be more than lucky, let me gather the people of the general's mansion and escort you out of Jincheng."
Steward Li said very firmly, but it was like a muffled thunder, exploding above Qian Qianqian's head, but he didn't expect the situation outside the city to be so serious, and Xiao Mohan had such a big thing.
"No, I'm not leaving, since something so big is happening outside, how can I leave like this for self-preservation? I'm going out of the city and going to General Xiao. ”
Qian Qianqian did not hesitate at all, the more this time, the more she couldn't go, if she left by herself, then the eight achievements would not be her.
"No, the general has been instructed when he leaves, no matter what, I have to protect your safety, once something happens in Jincheng, I will escort you away, if you don't leave, how can I explain to the general?"
Steward Li said categorically, and immediately rejected Qian Qianqian, but Qian Qianqian didn't think so, she has always been a stubborn temper, and even Xiao Mohan can't do anything about her, let alone others.
"If the general can't come back, who do you have to explain to? By the way, Xue Yi, no, it's Lord Yimo who is carrying water in the city, does she know about this? ”
Qian Qianqian also pinned her hopes on Xue Yi, if Xue Yi knew, she would not stand idly by, but things didn't seem to be as she thought.
"Miss Xueyi has already left the city to go to the barracks, and now her life and death are uncertain, and there is no news."
Steward Li already knew Xue Yi's identity, so he didn't hide it, Qian Qianqian then understood that Xue Yi had colluded with Xiao Mohan, and hid the matter from her alone, and showed that she didn't know anything in front of her.
"Boss Qian, don't bother anymore, Dr. Jiang has already packed up his things and wants to go with you, if you don't leave, I'm afraid it will be too late."
Steward Li continued to urge on the side, anxious, if Qian Qianqian didn't agree, he would never give up, but just left, she really missed Xiao Mohan.
"Let's go, I'll stay here and not go anywhere, waiting for General Xiao to come back."
Qian Qianqian's expression was firm, although her body was a little thinner, but the perseverance in her bones was impossible to ignore, and it was definitely not something that Steward Li could withstand.
"Boss Qian, aren't you embarrassing me? Don't you know, how greedy those people of the central country are, if they attack Jincheng, they will burn and loot, they have always hated the general, this general's mansion will not escape the catastrophe, so if you don't leave, then it makes no sense for anyone to go, we will stay here with you. ”
Steward Li knew the reason in front of Qian Qianqian, and said it heartbreakingly, and seemed to have made up his mind.
Qian Qianqian doesn't leave alone, if she doesn't leave, it will be a big sin if she harms the rest of the general's mansion because she doesn't leave.
So Qian Qianqian thought about it for a while, and finally agreed, she didn't want to affect anyone, so she could only follow these people first, as for where she could be the most, she couldn't make a conclusion.
"Okay, I'll go, I'll pack my things." After Qian Qianqian finished speaking, she turned around and entered the room, and Steward Li finally breathed a sigh of relief.
In fact, she didn't have anything to pack, only a few clothes, and then a dagger for self-defense, so she quickly packed up.
The gate of the general's mansion was closed, and the carriages were arranged at the back door, and the back door was located in a remote location, so not many people could see it, so it would not attract suspicion and panic among the people.
"Only a few of us are leaving, and the people of this city are not leaving?"
