Chapter 198: The Princess of the Dead Country (16)

Zhou Chen didn't even look at the other party, he stared at the house in front of him, and his eyes were churning with irrepressible anger.

He had suspected that the epidemic might be man-made, but when it was confirmed, the anger in his heart was stronger than he had imagined.

Several people rushed out of the house, and before they could reach Zhou Chen, they were shot by the archers who had prepared at the wall early in the morning, and then they were restrained by the soldiers who rushed up.

The fighting grew quieter, and soon, the soldiers came over with a few men, along with several corpses.

Several soldiers placed weapons in the courtyard that had been recovered from the house and from each other, the most striking of which were two well-made crossbows and several pairs of Hidden Arrows.

Zhou Chen squatted down and carefully examined these weapons, and found that these weapons were obviously from the army, but the styles and imprints of the weapons were not produced in Jiangnan, but seemed to be from the Gu family army in the east.

Thinking of the word "Jinling" written on the piece of paper, Zhou Chen's eyes were slightly gloomy.

"Everyone is here?"

"Report to the general, one person has escaped."

"Ran one? Can this also make people run? ”

"Yes......"

Cold sweat broke out on the forehead of the soldier who reported it, and he lowered his head again, and said in shame, "That man is highly armed and should be the leader, and under the full cover of others, he forcibly broke out of the backyard after injuring several of our brothers." ”

The soldier described the man's physiognomy, emphasizing the scar on the other's face.

Zhou Chen immediately ordered the search of the city to begin, while the other living mouths were brought back for interrogation.

Xingyun didn't know what happened that night, but early the next morning, she found that there were a lot more soldiers patrolling the epidemic area, and learned from an acquaintance that Ancheng had entered the spies, and General Zhou ordered the city to be searched.

It's pretty fast.

Now that the other party has taken action, Xing Yun put this matter behind for the time being and devoted herself to the treatment of the epidemic.

Xingyun followed Dr. Du into a room in a small courtyard in the epidemic area, and a seven or eight-year-old girl was lying on the bed in the inner room.

Classes existed everywhere, especially in ancient times when hierarchies were strict.

The little girl's father is a well-known wealthy businessman in Anyang, and he is also a good person, and more importantly, one of his sister-in-laws is a more favored concubine in the backyard of the Ancheng prefect.

Not to mention that in the face of the prefect, but also for the sake of her father who donated a large amount of medicinal materials and money for her, the little girl was treated the best in the epidemic area.

In addition to a maid by the little girl's side, there is also her nurse.

Dr. Du stepped forward to check the pulse, inquired about the physical condition of the past two days, and then told the nurse to pay attention to some things.

Out of the room, Xingyun paused, I don't know if it was an illusion, she seemed to smell a faint smell of blood in this rich medicinal smell.

Xingyun looked around with her afterglow, but found nothing unusual.

Dr. Du took Xingyun to check the pulse of the other people living in the courtyard, and Xingyun noticed that there were several empty rooms in the courtyard.

While Dr. Du was talking to the person who was taking care of the patient, Xingyun quietly withdrew from the room.

She walked around the courtyard and finally pushed open one of the rooms.

Xingyun muttered, "It's really troublesome, you still want me to find a pillow, why are you looking for a pillow", then walked into the inner room, picked up the wooden pillow on the bed and hugged it in her arms, and then walked out without squinting.

When she was about to walk to the door, Xing Yun glanced back and looked up, and met a pair of yin owl eyes!

The scar man on the beam didn't expect Xingyun to suddenly turn around, and he happened to look up.

Seeing that the other party was frightened, as if he was planning to run away from the door, the scar man didn't have time to think too much, he jumped down from the beam, reached out and grabbed the back of Xingyun's neck collar and pulled it back!

Xing Yun took a few steps back, then raised her hand back, and the medicinal powder that had been prepared long ago spilled out on the man's face!

The man didn't check it, and the powder instantly entered his eyes and nose.

There was a tingling in his eyes, and at the same time, the unknown medicine powder inhaled into his nose made Scar Man's brain feel like his whole brain was going to explode.

Xingyun took the opportunity to break free from the other party, and then turned around and walked behind the scar man, raised the wooden pillow in his hand and smashed it the back of the man's head!

Even at this time, the scar man still felt very keen, sensing the wind behind his head, he tried to dodge, but the injuries on his waist and back made his movements not so flexible, and he was still hit hard by the wooden sleeper.

Looking at the man who fell to the ground, Xingyun shook his hand and nodded with satisfaction.

Not to mention, this powder is quite easy to use.

This is a powder ground from some kind of poisonous herbs, and other things are added to it, which has a certain stimulating effect on the spirit.

However, Xingyun admired the other party a little, and even ran to the epidemic area after being injured, aren't you afraid of being infected with the epidemic?

What Xingyun didn't know was that the scar man was also forced to enter the epidemic area helplessly, and originally wanted to hide in the hospital, but unfortunately there were too many soldiers guarding inside and outside the hospital, so in the end he could only retreat and choose the place where the official eunuchs lived.

I just didn't expect it to be planted the next day.

After making sure that the man had been completely knocked unconscious, Xingyun found a cloth in the house and tied him up, and then went to Dr. Du to explain the situation.

Knowing that his disciple had caught a person who was suspected of being a spy, Dr. Du didn't know what to say for a moment.

From the beginning, he knew that his disciple was very cruel, but in the past few months, Xing Yun has followed him to study medicine, with a humble and respectful attitude, and he is about to forget the heroic deeds of her fighting off a group of bandits alone!

"Why don't you talk to me?"

"I was just suspicious, and I wasn't sure, and I accidentally saw him at the time, so I had no choice but to do it."

Xingyun said that she was very innocent, and praised the medicinal powder developed by Dr. Du for being very useful.

Doctor Du glared at Xingyun angrily, unified his tone with her, and then prepared to find someone.

Fortunately, there were soldiers patrolling nearby, and after explaining to the other party, the small courtyard was fenced off, and Zhou Chen, who heard the news, also rushed over.

After learning what had happened, Zhou Chen summoned Xingyun.

At first, Zhou Chen thought it was a young man, but after a closer look, he found that it was a girl's family, but his appearance was too mediocre and he was wearing men's clothes.

After inquiring about her in detail about what happened, and after confirming that she had nothing to do with the matter, Zhou Chen left in a hurry with someone.

Not long after Xingyun and Dr. Du returned to the hospital, a soldier sent a whole plate of silver ingots, saying that General Zhou had rewarded her.

Xing Yun put it away unceremoniously, and continued to follow Dr. Du to study the prescription calmly under the gaze of everyone in the medical hall.

A few days later, Zhou Chen left Ancheng, and fewer patients were sent to the epidemic area every day, but there was still no progress in the prescription for treatment.

Xing Yun squatted on the ground, and dozens of Chinese medicinal materials were placed in front of her, all of which were medicinal materials on the prescriptions that had effectively treated various epidemic diseases over the years, and these medicinal materials had not yet been concocted, and some even carried mud dug out of the soil.
