The carriage and horses arrived in Bianjing at great speed, and Zhu Amber wrapped things in sheets, no matter what they were, they were wrapped in a mess and got into the car.

The driver knew that something was urgent, and he was moving much faster than usual.

Zhu Amber was further sorting out Lu Mingci's luggage in the car, Runye and Lu Mingci sat and watched, and suddenly Runye sighed.

He looked at Lu Mingci and asked, "Why did Amber follow you?" Are you in the same place? ”

Lu Mingci shook his head with a smile and said, "She is my female officer, where do you want to go?" ”

A burst of crimson flashed on Zhu Amber's face, in fact, the night he came to Yunmeng Town, Lu Mingci wanted to ask for joy, but Zhu Amber didn't agree.

Runye looked at Zhu Amber and remembered all the things he had used to do in Sanguan Temple.

"At that time, she followed me to learn to read and write, but I didn't expect that now she is dealing with secret official documents, and she follows Jinyiwei."

Runye said this, looking at Zhu Amber with her eyes lowered, and there were many emotions in her heart.

The boy had wanted to be with him, but he didn't agree.

At that time, there was already Zhu Hongyu, and he must not do anything like stepping on two boats.

Now this person in front of her already has a heart, although this Lu Mingci can't give her anything, but her heart is sweet, and this is enough.

Lu Mingci had never heard Zhu Amber mention the matter of Runye, so he made fun of it.

"Chief Rundao, when this girl was by my side, she didn't mention half a word about you, and she forgot about you, the master, long ago."

Runye didn't answer Runye's words, Lu Mingci was closed, and Amber didn't dare to say more, for fear that his affairs back then would be made public.

With that, the three of them fell into a long silence, and Amber packed up her things and returned to their original place.

Nothing was said along the way.

In this way, the group used the fastest speed and fast horses to walk on the road for three days, and finally returned to Bianjing.

In order to avoid people's eyes, Zhu Amber and Runye did not directly enter Bianjing City, and chartered a whole inn to settle down.

Lu Mingci went to run errands alone non-stop, and explained to Zhu Hongyu that he was going to do errands, and left quickly.

I didn't see a shadow for seven or eight hours.

Zhu Amber had no choice but to let the store cook and eat vegetarian food with Runye.

But since he left Ganzhou, the amount of food in Runye has been very small, and after three days, it seems that the whole person has lost weight.

The two people at the dinner table didn't say anything, and Runye sighed and went back to the room.

After Zhu Amber finished eating, she asked the store to clean up, and she walked back to the room and never came out again.

At night, everything is silent, because of winter, there is no sound outside of Bianjing.

In the room of the inn, Zhu Amber felt that she had mixed feelings.

Once Lu Mingci was not by his side, Zhu Amber felt fear.

The female official who does Lu Mingci on weekdays looks like a majestic person, but in fact, she lives by Lu Mingci and regards Lu Mingci as her only pillar.

When it came to the hands of the third watch, Zhu Amber really couldn't hold it.

She calculated the time, even if Lu Mingci wanted to find someone to do something, it would be delayed for at least a day or two.

It wasn't too early, Zhu Amber took off her coat and was about to fall asleep, when she suddenly heard a knock on the door.

"Who?"

Zhu Amber, who heard the knock on the door, put on her clothes and walked to the door vigilantly.

Although she felt that there should be no outsiders coming to this inn, only Lu Mingqi would rush back at this time, but she still asked vigilantly.

Lu Mingci stood outside the door, smiling and watching as he came to bring a group of brothers.

It's also powerful to say, Lu Mingci has a strong martial arts, and he didn't make a sound when he walked upstairs on the third watch.

"Amber, it's me."

Zhu Amber listened to the voice as if it was Lu Ming's resignation, and hurriedly opened the door.

suddenly hugged into Lu Mingci's arms.

"Yo ......" "Heh......"

A few sighs came from outside the door, and then a group of people burst into laughter.

Only then did Zhu Amber see that there was a large group of people behind Lu Mingci, all of whom he had brought over, and he was ashamed and annoyed, so he quickly let Lu Mingci go.

"I'm sorry, I didn't know you brought someone here."

Lu Mingci was actually very satisfied with Zhu Amber's hug, and he was able to use this situation to arrange tasks for his brothers.

Zhu Amber was embarrassed to get out of the way, and after everyone entered the door, she quickly closed the door, as if she wanted to lock all the things she had just done inside.

The room was crowded with all kinds of people, all of them wearing flying fish suits, embroidered spring knives hanging from their waists, and uniform hard winter hats on their heads.

Lu Mingci sat on the Luohan bed in Zhu Amber's house, scanning his brothers with his eyes.

Everyone saluted Lu Mingci with their fists, and shouted with respect and affection: "Big brother! ”

Lu Mingci nodded with satisfaction.

"Amber, come here."

After everyone finished saluting, Lu Mingci called out to Zhu Amber and asked her to come over.

Amber walked up to Lu Mingci with a confused face and saluted Lu Mingci.

"Let me introduce you, this is my female officer Zhu Amber, and in the next few days, she will lead you to find Zhu Hongyu. I'm going to send a man with me, and none of you are allowed to ask or tell him who he is, but do you know? ”

The Jinyi guards looked at each other, not to mention that Zhu Amber was a woman, and there had never been a precedent for non-Jinyiwei to lead Jinyiwei, everyone felt very strange about this arrangement, and they also felt that it was not very suitable.

Zhu Amber saw that everyone was dissatisfied with this arrangement, and felt a sense of loss in her heart. I thought to myself that Lu Mingci was what kind of arrangement this was, wouldn't it be good to call a Jinyiwei Baihu to come over, or a deputy Qianhu to come over, and lead Jinyiwei to find her sister's whereabouts, why do you have to let her lead these people?

"Amber, tell us what your mission is and why I have to send you."

Suddenly, Lu Mingci gave an order to Zhu Mingpo, and Zhu Amber frowned when she heard Lu Mingci's order.

The mission? Why did you have to send her?

How did she know about these questions?

In fact, don't say it's Zhu Amber, even Lu Mingci is drumming in his heart now. He didn't know what to do with it.

"Well......" Zhu Amber let out a long hum, and then stood in front of everyone jerkily, "My name is Zhu Amber, this should be our first meeting." ”

After speaking, Zhu Amber smiled at everyone, and then said: "I know that there has never been a precedent for a woman to lead a man in this world, but I can't manage so much in a hurry." When you came to my house today, when I saw you for the first time, I didn't treat you as ordinary people, you are all officials in the brocade guard, and after walking out of here today, you are also an official master, and I Zhu Amber will not cross the thunder pool by half a step. ”

Everyone still looked at each other, and their resistance was obviously not as obvious as just now, and they were full of curiosity about the upcoming task.

Zhu Amber saw that everyone was not so disgusted with her, and she quickly breathed a sigh of relief.

"We're sure we won't be able to leave tonight, so let's talk...... Do you know about smallpox? ”

Bianjing was directly south of the entire Hua Dynasty, close to Yangzhou Jinling for a generation.

Unless it's an older brocade guard, most of them are from the south.

Since they were born in the South, few of them knew about the nightmarish plague of the Northwest—smallpox.

Suddenly, at this time, an older brocade guard stood out, and his temples were white.

He looked like he was forty or fifty years old.

"Girl, my name is Xu Jingyi, because I am a few years old, everyone calls me Xu Ye. I used to serve in Guanzhong and knew about this disease. ”

Zhu Amber saluted Xu Jingyi, and then said, "Hello Xu, can you tell us what kind of disease this is?" ”

Xu Jingyi let out a long sigh, thinking back to what happened in the most terrible days of his life.

"Hey, there have been a lot of plagues in Bianjing in recent years, cholera, miasma, in fact, they are just minor diseases. The most terrible thing is this flower, the disease written in the medical book is called 'smallpox', which is said to be the punishment of the gods of the five turbid evil worlds. I got this disease, and the first few days were fine, but I had a fever, and the person with the fever was unconscious. Then the man would have sores all over his body, and the sores would be red in color and had slurry in them. The sores grew from the top of the head to the soles of the feet, and there was nothing good about the whole body. Only 12 out of 10 people die of cholera, but 56 out of 10 people die of this disease, and if there is no doctor, they will die. Hey......"

Saying that, Xu Jingyi let out a long sigh, he didn't know what to say next, he just felt a little desperate.

When everyone heard this description, they shuddered.

Zhu Amber glanced at Lu Mingci, and Lu Mingci also showed a look of embarrassment.

He called these brothers who were born and died here to find Zhu Hongyu in the epidemic area, but it is a fact that many people died of illness.

"I won't hide it from you today, Lord Lu said that he would send a man with us, this man is a doctor, and he once got a strange book, which records the treatment of smallpox. But the second half of the book is in my sister's hands. ”

Hearing this, everyone can be regarded as understanding, this is to let them go to the epidemic area to find people.

If this person is found, the northwest where the plague is now raging will usher in a new life. But if they can't find it, most people in the northwest will have no way to live.

Everyone suddenly fell into a dilemma.

Zhu Amber saw that everyone was embarrassed, and her heart was very uncomfortable.

"Yes, the plague has not spread to the south, but if we do not find a cure for it, we will all die. You have wives and children and high halls in Bianjing, but there are no eggs under the nest? ”

There are no eggs under the nest, this is the most common sentence that Lu Mingci said on the road, and now that Zhu Amber said it, it is even more appropriate to use it in this place.

It's a dilemma.

In these years, it is not easy to be a brocade guard, who has no relationship in the family?

But the last cholera had a miasma that lasted for two years, and the people of Bianjing, who were tormented by the plague, also understood a truth - the plague did not go around the emperor.

Now, it's time for them to choose.

At this time, Xu Ye stood up all of a sudden.

"What, do you really have a cure for smallpox?"

Those who have witnessed smallpox are more positive than those who have not.

Xu Jingyi is different from everyone else, he has an unforgettable memory that made him stand up at this time.
