Meng Yining raised his eyebrows, and did not take his words: "How many doctors are there in the city?" ”

"Five. Originally, there were no less than 20 Chinese medicine halls in the city, but now either the doctor has died or fled. "Lord Thorn Shi is also heartbroken when he says this, the city that was rich in trade in the past has now changed its appearance. He lowered his eyes, not daring to meet Meng Yining's questioning gaze. took a sip of hot tea and raised his head again, "The contemptible ministers are also helpless." ”

"Now it's not to the point of exhaustion, whether you're going to die or I'm going to die, there's nothing to talk about." Meng Yining snorted, with a hint of sarcasm in his words, "When you threw people down from the city tower, wasn't Mr. quite resolute and resolute." Now that I'm soft, I can't bear it. The tone of her voice was really as majestic as a princess of Beiyang.

Master Thorn Shi couldn't argue, and glared at her indignantly, "What does that girl think?" This disease will eventually disappear if it drags on. ”

Meng Yining was so angry that her heart choked to the throat, and she raised her hand to let everyone around her withdraw.

Lord Thorn Shi glanced at it, waved his hand, and the maid guards quietly left the house.

The girl whispered, "Of course I understand sir, but I'm afraid you won't be able to wait until that time!" When the people in the city are gone, you can leave the position of assassin empty! She paused and calmed down, "Now the people in the city are panicking, and the most important thing is to appease the people and cure the sick and save people." This disease is not isolated, you see that the people in the city are still sick, it is better to set up a camp outside the city generously, the people in the city and people outside the city can meet near the city tower, it can be regarded as comforting, so that the spring also has a trace of spring flavor, don't be cold like the snow covers the lonely city. ”

Lord Thorn Shi sighed, nodded and said, "Yes, I will gather the only remaining doctors in the city." ”

The night breeze outside the window blew the window, and the bright moon illuminated the branches, which were as white as snow.

Meng Yining didn't speak, and said half-loudly: "I was presumptuous just now, or please ask Lord Assassin Shi to atone for his sins." She looked out the door and asked, "How is the illness in the army?" ”

Lord Thorn Shi was startled and shook his head, "Fifty percent sick." ”

The girl's voice trembled, and her eyes were a little red, "What a good game of chess." ”

"What do you mean, girl?"

"Remember to make sure that the soldiers are in good health. Although it is not completely certain, this epidemic is not a natural disaster, but a man-made disaster. In the river that followed Xiantao to this place, a large number of dead rats were found. The source of the river is on the border of Yanrong, and they do not eat this water. She was halfway through the sentence, but she must have understood it perfectly.

A hint of horror flashed in Lord Thorn's eyes, and he suddenly leaned over to the table, "What? Going to war? ”

"It's very close to Xiantao, but it's also a border city. If it is to fight, Yan Rong can come over from the border in less than two or three days. Do you think, can you fight? Meng Yining's hands and feet were cold, and she looked at the military camp in the distance from the window.

"Tuberculosis." Lord Thorn Shi said this, and his heart was also sad, as if he suddenly saw that if there was a war, there would be a dead silence here. There are no soldiers and no one, only the flags fluttering in the sky above the city tower, and within an hour, Yan Rong will be able to occupy this place.

Meng Yining said again: "This matter is serious, Lord Assassin Shi must not make a noise, it is easy to cause panic." ”

He also nodded, "I know the seriousness of the matter, if Yan Rong really calls, the consequences will be unimaginable, and under the epidemic, we must prepare early." ”

"His Royal Highness the Prince is going to return to Chengping to report at this time, early tomorrow morning, I will also ask Lord Assassin Shi to establish an area for healing, and His Royal Highness the Prince will return immediately. Otherwise, if we leave, we don't know how many incidents will happen to that homeless people, and if Yan Rong really leads the troops to invade Beiyang in the future, I am afraid that we will be even more powerless to resist. ”

The girl didn't know what she thought, pursed her lips, and there was a trace of sadness in her eyes, "I'm most afraid of being wrapped in dry bones." ”

"Not tomorrow morning, tonight!"

Thorn Shi stood up and walked out, "I'm going to gather the doctor!" Open the gates tonight! ”

Meng Yining looked at his distant back, the empty sleeves of his robe, and suddenly felt that his body was resolute.

At night, the people heard the noise, the gates of the city suddenly opened, and the officers and soldiers came and went carrying something with torches. White tents were erected outside the city gates, and Lord Thorn called the remaining doctors from his sleep and followed him to check on the sick people who had been blasted out of the city. Time was pressing, and he knew that he was not only fighting against this epidemic, but also guarding against Yan Rong's sudden attack.

The people who slept on the bare ground were awakened by the chaotic sound, and the officers and soldiers brought a mouthful of iron pots and made a fire to boil porridge. And those who had just died of illness were dragged away by the officers and soldiers who covered their mouths and noses, and dragged to places where these people could not see and burned. Lord Thorn Shi stood on top of the castle tower, "Everyone, in the past, in order to protect the people in the city, I offended you, and today I will make amends to you here." Treat the sick and save people outside the city, and you can return when you are well. The city gate is not closed, if you think about your family, you can meet in the city tower at any time. He stood on the high tower and bowed deeply.

Jing Chi got out of the carriage and saw Meng Yining rushing out of the city gate.

The night fell on her, and she blushed and desperately came out of the crowd, stopping in front of Jing Chi, panting, "Now it's okay, it's settled." Her chest rose and fell, she looked up at the night, and shook her head: "This place is not suitable for a long time, let's continue to hurry!"

On the carriage, Jing Chi suddenly observed Meng Yining's coaxing eyes and asked, "Crying?" ”

She was stunned for a moment and flatly denied it, "No." ”

"What comes to mind?"

"A hundred battles of generals, yellow sand and white bones." She sighed and looked at him.

Jing Chi's expression also fell, "This epidemic is enough to consume the hard work of Daxia for many years, and I just hope that Chengping is not like this." He suddenly became determined, and opened his mouth to call out to Zhang Jiu, "The carriage is too slow, let's hurry up and go straight to Chengping." ”

Meng Yining gave up her horse to Jing Chi, and she protected him by Jing Chi's side.

"When I arrived in Chengping, I needed to send a letter to Beiyang. If there is a real fight, only the two countries can join forces to resist the enemy. Yan Rong'an has been separated for so many years, can't she sit still after all? Meng Yining was indignant.

"He Zeng was divided, sowing discord, and secretly releasing arrows. Yan Rong has always had the ambition to encroach on the world, but if it is so big today, which country can annex another country? If Yan Rong makes a move, other countries will not just ignore it. Jing Chi's face was gloomy and could drip water.

"I'm afraid that he will unite with other countries, just like the five countries attacked the sun back then."

"The teacher is unknown."

"Yan Rongli is superior, does he still care about this? Besides, wasn't the city of Yanrong in the old days in the hands of Great Xia? If you make an excuse, there will always be. ”

Under the starry night, the group seemed to be in a race for life, a race for the future of Great Xia.

One step later is an irreparable difference.
