Chapter 153: The Epidemic
The fairy peach smoke filled, and the layers of firelight illuminated the silent mountains.
Meng Yining looked at the burned corpses in and out, and threw a stack of paper money into it. The mage in the temple next to him was chanting a mantra of transcendence. The body is skinned, and it is received by its parents. Even if he has passed away, he does not want to be mutilated or reduced to ashes. But a few people must not be able to do it, and this tricky epidemic must be eliminated quickly.
The day before yesterday, Jing Chi quickly delivered a letter to report everything about Xiantao, and the man quickly whipped away. It's just that the plague-laden river has already flowed to Chengping. In the prosperous capital of Great Xia, it quickly took root and sprouted. Even if Jingchi has the speed of flying, it can't stop the river in a hurry. He sent people to wear thick clothes and carry the 'breathing mask' made by Meng Yining to clean up the river water in the upper reaches of Xiantao. One can only pray that people who consume this water in the future will not get sick from it.
The baby stood behind, looking at the blazing fire, thoughtful.
Jing Chi turned around and wanted to leave, looked at him with a gloomy face and asked, "What is Mr. thinking?" ”
"What Yan Rong has done is intolerable." The black birthmark on the left cheek of the infant was like boundless darkness, he paused and looked into Jing Chi's eyes, "His Royal Highness, Yan Rong has already laid out, and we are still defenseless. Now that the predicament has entered, we have to follow the trend and change at any time. ”
Jing Chi also knew in his heart that this immortal peach thorn history had already passed away, and if the huge city was empty, it would be occupied by other countries. He couldn't make a decision in his heart and began to hesitate. The infant knew what he was thinking, "There is an old friend in the Assassin's Mansion, and the minister can recommend it to His Highness to temporarily take care of Xiantao affairs." ”
Jing Chi nodded, he trusted the baby. Not only because he became famous at a young age and was a scholar, but also because there was a calm determination in his eyes. After quickly settling everything in Xiantao, they prepared to leave for Chengping the next day. At night, the smell of burning outside the city smoked Meng Yining's eyes, and she couldn't fall asleep after tossing and turning. It took some time for him to come out, and I don't know if the news of Zhao Erze's collusion with Jing Zheng was delivered to Prime Minister Zhang Cheng.
In just one year, Yanrong, Daxia, and Beiyang, three countries bordering each other, were stirred together. It seems that a magnificent historical silence unfolds. These people she knew and were close to were about to be swept up in the stormy seas. I don't know what happened to Gu Zi'an's investigation, and I began to wonder if my sister would be alone in the palace. She hasn't accompanied Bai Xining well, so she has never stopped on the journey again.
Meng Yining sighed, rolled over and fell asleep.
Early the next morning, everyone returned to Chengping. Crossing the road from which they came, the surrounding grass had turned black or as if it were black, and the squeaky rat seemed to be frightened by the flames, and burrowed into a corner all night and did not come out. The newly appointed Thorn Shi ordered the people to crush the poisonous weeds, and then put them in the corner of the wall with the mashed grain, and sprinkle them on the road to attract rats to eat. In just one day, rats came out of their hiding places, gnawed on the food on the ground, and then whimpered for their lives. The streets were dark and crushed, and people were carrying cartloads of rat carcasses out of the city with large shovels made of iron and burning them.
More and more people who are closed at home are taking to the streets to begin this task of cleaning up rats. The epidemic in Xiantao has gradually eased, but the situation in other villages, towns and cities has not been handled so properly. Jingchi and his party were slow, and even if Meng Yining wanted to cry and shout and fly to Chengping, it would be useless.
When I went out during the day, I saw a huge crowd of people gathered at the gate of a city not far away. The gate was closed, and the soldiers on the tower were even ready for battle.
Meng Yining looked at it from a distance on the mountain, "What's the situation?" Could it be that the station is in chaos? ”
Jing Chi stood next to him, and before he could speak, he heard Meng Yining exclaim again: "What's the matter!" You see, what's that throwing down? Oops...... Behold, the gate of the city is opened, and a little crack is opened...... What, why is it closed again? She didn't know, but it must not be a good thing to think about.
Meng Yining squinted her eyes to stretch out her head to take a closer look, but was pulled back from the edge of the cliff by Jing Chi: "It's too dangerous, you'll know when you walk in." ”
He already had the answer in his mind, but he was too cruel to say it. Wait until you get to the city, and then see if it's the same as your own thoughts. The baby was silent, shook his head and went back to the car. Meng Yining bumped all the way down, and he had just vomited yesterday, and he hadn't recovered yet, so he could only chew and eat the white cakes slowly and in small bites. A few people hurried without much rest, to feel the overcrowded city before dark.
Zhang Jiu saw that the little girl was anxious to believe, and he didn't know who to talk to, so he thought about accosting and chatting. He couldn't think of any other topic, so he asked again, "Miss Meng." ”
"Huh?"
"I have something for you." He scratched his head.
Zhang Jiu's voice was relaxed, Meng Yining detached himself from his irritable mood, and the horses under him became brisk. "Tell me, what's the matter?"
"Spring/Summer...... Is spring and summer okay? He was a little apprehensive.
Meng Yining squirted a mouthful of water, "King Beiyang's personal maid, do you say it's good...... Why, are you afraid that the king will treat her badly? ”
The honest man Yile, "No, no." After you left Chengping, the road must be difficult, I am afraid that there will be some accidents, you say so, I will be relieved. ”
"If you like people, you have to say it directly. Although he is reluctant, if the king and Chunxia agree, it will naturally be a good thing. You said that you asked around the bush, and people were thousands of miles away, and they were still thinking about it. Meng Yining glanced at him with disgust.
Zhang Jiu's face turned red and waved his hand, "Don't say it, don't say it, it's important for us to hurry." "I thought to myself, how did this little girl become so sharp-toothed? I also regret not confessing my heart to Spring and Summer earlier.
The car hurried and finally arrived at the foot of the tower.
There were three or four hundred people gathered here, and they supported each other and complained loudly. Without getting closer, the anger of dissatisfaction can be felt.
"We are all the people of Great Xia, why don't you let us enter the city!"
"My family lives in the city, why can't I go home!"
"Let's go inside!"
"Let us go home!"
The crowd shouted, probably because they had been shouting for a long time, and their voices were getting hoarse. The soldiers on the tower of the city stood still, and a person who looked like a thorn shouted softly: "The plague is rampant, we can't let the sick into the city!" Please look elsewhere! ”
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a cry from the castle tower.
Several soldiers carried a thin young man to be thrown from under the tower. The young man struggled, crying, "I'm leaving, can't I go!" Don't throw me! ”
