Chapter 218: Falling apart
"Qi Shu caused me trouble again outside, it was really because I was annoyed by the trouble she caused." I really can't stand it, can you just find a way to let her go? Don't hurt the Qi family anymore!
"Sister, what's wrong? Daddy, you might as well talk to Loer, maybe Loel can share your worries. Qi Luo's face showed just the right amount of worry, and Qi Shangshu felt a burst of warmth in his heart, or this daughter was intimate.
"Don't you know, Your Majesty issued an edict, there is a plague in Guangchuan County, and now is the time when people are panicking, Your Majesty means that you hope that someone will take the initiative to ask Ying to go to Guangchuan County, and it is indicated that you want the children of the official family."
"Oh! So that's what happened! Qi Luo nodded knowingly, but in fact, she already knew about it when she was outside, and she was already the kind that had been investigated, and now she was just trying to create the illusion that Qi Shangshu thought that she didn't hear anything outside the window, and that she was a well-behaved woman in the boudoir.
Qi Shangshu was very satisfied when he saw Qi Luo's sudden realization, only if he was fully ignorant would he not create so much trouble to bring him.
"Your sister took the initiative to ask for help, everyone in Shaoliang City is now saying that she is flattering, and Your Majesty will never let a woman go, so Qi Shu has become a person who sells fame and fame in their eyes."
Fathers are like this, daughters are like this, what kind of people raise what kind of girls, isn't that what they are?
"Ahh How can my sister be so impulsive? Isn't she still hurt? How so? I guess my sister must not know how terrible the plague land is, and if she knew, she would never do this. Qi Luo shook her head and said disapprovingly.
"Whether she knows it or not, the most important thing now is that my Qi family is going to become the laughing stock of others again!" Qi Shangshu gritted his teeth and hated it! Before the new tea set could be picked up and dropped, he was so angry that he slammed his fist on the table, gasping in pain and grinning his teeth.
Qi Luo looked very ridiculous, but she couldn't help but laugh.
"And what's Daddy going to do next?"
"What can I do? Can I still manage her now? If she provokes her to accuse me of whipping the county lord at home, I don't have any good fruit to eat, and if that's the case, isn't it thankless?" Qi Shangshu said angrily.
After talking for a long time, Qi Luo didn't give him any ideas, so he just talked nonsense!
"If you make Daddy so annoyed, Daddy might as well go to Your Majesty to plead guilty, so as to restore Daddy's impression in Your Majesty's heart." Qi Luo's words can be regarded as to the point!
Qi Shangshu had a flash of inspiration in his mind, yes! Last time, he accidentally disobeyed His Majesty's intentions, and now his daughter is a kind of dedication to righteousness, maybe he will exchange his son for his sympathy, and His Majesty will not be guilty of the past!
Thinking of this, Qi Shangshu couldn't help but stand up and slap his thigh! said: "Okay! Good! What a guilty plea! Luo'er, you really deserve to be my most beloved daughter! Daddy didn't hurt you in vain! ”
Hurt her? Hiding her and tucking her into the light, all kinds of strict requirements are not allowed to give her half of the table, is it love?
Qi Luo really wanted to sneer.
In front of her was her father, yes, her father who loved her. Qi Luo put on an envious expression at the right time, which made people have to believe that she sincerely loved the father in front of her.
Qi Shangshu was obviously very satisfied with Qi Luo's appearance for his sake, since he had already thought of a countermeasure, then without further ado, before things could cause more changes, Qi Shangshu decided to immediately set off for the palace to "bear the guilt"!
……
Fang Jie's life is getting more and more difficult, he wants to leave, he really wants to leave this hellish place, the soldiers are almost dying, he is still infected for the time being because he was isolated from them in time.
Several military doctors were also infected with the plague, and died in a few days, and now they are the country doctors who have been captured from other places, although I don't know if they can be cured, but as long as they are doctors, they can take care of him.
No one knows what the situation is in the city of Guangchuan now, but from the outside, it is calm, but it feels like it exudes a dead air.
This kind of dead qi is like a life-urging charm for Fang Jie, and the closer Fang Jie gets, the more he feels that his life is short.
But there was no way, he had to pretend to be an inspector every day to stay away from the soldiers who could infect him with the plague at any moment.
Now the square knot, the grass and trees are all soldiers.
Washing one's own clothes, cooking one's own meals, and living without being served by others is as if one had turned oneself into an individual. Even the letters to be sent were written in advance, put in an open space, and then sent someone to pick them up and send them out.
The previous county orders had long since disappeared, and they were just such a team within a radius of ten miles. Right now, the three thousand people felt that they were almost dead, and Fang Jie didn't have the heart to count them.
This wasteland was still led by Ning Ze at that time, ten miles away from Guangchuan County, in a relatively good and very open place, with a good view and easy to investigate.
And Fang Jie is usually on the highest slope of this wasteland.
In order to make it easier for him to observe the daily situation of the soldiers, Fang Jie divided the general's account into two parts, the sick and the sick lived together, and the uninfected and the uninfected lived together. Arrange for some people to have resources to take care of the sick.
Maybe it's because they came down from the battlefield together, and they have a deep relationship, and there are still many soldiers who are willing to help those who are sick. Apparently they are less selfish than they are.
Seeing that the military tent was decreasing day by day, he wanted to flee but did not dare to escape. If he escapes, he will be convicted of being greedy for life and afraid of death, and he will not be able to gain a foothold in Shaoliang City in the future.
His general's mansion has only lived for a little more than half a year, and he has not lived enough of the life of glory, wealth, fine clothes and food.
Therefore, Fang Jie can only continue to endure the torment now.
The letters to his grandmother, the letters to His Majesty, and the letters to Qi Shu all came to fruition, and now he has nothing to do but wait for their reply, where else can he care about the situation in Guangchuan County?
If you think about it with your toes, you know that there must be no fewer dead people in Guangchuan County now, the corpses have all flowed to the city gate, rotting and black and stinking, the man wearing the lower half of the black pants, and the woman with her white and cracked arms, the face is already miserable.
Birds and beasts did not dare to approach within 100 meters, and the crowd smelled the smell and diverted away.
The complete dead city is also the place where Fang Jie is completely abandoned.
Fang Jie, who was unwilling to sit still, had no choice but to shrink in the military tent and continue to write letters to the people in the court, asking them to think of a way, otherwise when would this have to wait until it became a head?
Fang Jie didn't think about it so much, and wrote letters to all the people in the court who usually had a good relationship with him. Either say good things and ask for help, or find out what the situation is in Shaoliang City now, whether he can go back, and what is His Majesty's attitude This is the most important thing.
"General, General!" Suddenly there was a shouting sound from outside the army commander, and Fang Knot, who was biting the barrel of the pen, was still struggling with the wording, and no one taught him how to polish the content of the letter he wrote, so he had no choice but to rack his brains and think about it himself.
But hearing that someone outside was calling him, Fang Jie ignored it at first, he was only wearing a medium coat in the military tent, because the weather was still very hot, so Fang Jie didn't want to go out for the time being, but relied on the military tent to think of a way to ask for help.
"General, General!" The people outside still didn't give up, the voice was very loud, and they would shout from time to time, it was okay at first, but then Fang Jie was annoyed by what he heard, so he had no choice but to temporarily stop the brush that was writing in his hand, and stood up unhappily and went out of the military tent to see what was going on.
Shouting outside was Fang Jie's deputy general, Fang Jie's right-hand man, Yan Jun. On weekdays, he helped Fang Jie deal with many affairs, but this time Fang Jie isolated himself from the soldiers, and many things were actually done by this Yan Jun Yan Vice Admiral.
Seeing that it was Deputy General Yan, Fang Jie's anger also dropped a little, but he still looked at the other party with some displeasure and didn't speak.
Vice General Yan was very happy to see Fang Jie come out of the military tent, and the two soldiers beside Vice General Yan pushed and shoved two people from behind, obviously one big and one small, one tall and one short, all very thin. Because the distance is still a little far, Fang Jie can't see their whole picture clearly, at least men and women can't distinguish for the time being.
"General! This is an escape from Guangchuan County! ”
Fang Jie was also a little curious when he saw Vice General Yan carrying two people over, today's wind was a little strong, so he couldn't hear the long sentences clearly, but Fang Jie still heard the words "Guangchuan County" accurately, and his face turned green when he boarded.
What did he bring the refugees from Guangchuan County to do? Don't think the current situation is bad enough?
Thinking of this, Fang Jie resolutely did not want to hear anything about Guangchuan County, whether it was people or things.
Since he came to Guangchuan County, his bad luck has not stopped, whoever touches them will be unlucky, and he is resolutely unwilling to contact them.
So Fang Jie stood on the high slope and waved desperately at the deputy general and the refugees below, signaling that he was unwilling, no matter what Vice General Yan told him, he would not be willing to listen, unless someone came to him to ask him to go back, or someone took the initiative to pick him up, otherwise he would not talk.
Yan Jun couldn't help but be a little disappointed when he saw Fang Jie's reaction, no matter what, General Fang Jie treated them very well on weekdays, no one wanted to have a plague now, but the general's approach was really a little chilling.
But so what? They can't say anything about generals as subordinates.
This morning, when they were burying the bodies in the nearby woods, they stumbled upon a person's footprints, not in the direction of the army, but as if they were passing by from somewhere else, and the direction they came from was the county seat of Guangchuan.
In order to find out who had stepped on the footprints, Yan Jun took a few people to trace the past together.
As a result, it turned out that these two refugees who looked like brothers and sisters, the two of them may have escaped from the city of Guangchuan County, or they may have escaped from somewhere else.
Yan Jun felt that the two people he found were likely to have a certain value, so he took the initiative to bring them over to see Fang Jie, these two half-grown children were very thin, with yellow faces and thin muscles, and their clothes were in tatters. The eyes are very calm, and the composure makes people feel terrible.
These two children are not simple.
It's a pity that his own general is desperately waving his hands on the high slope, looking insensitive to thanks, Yan Jun thinks that the general has to come forward to inquire, right?
But after Fang Jie made it clear that he rejected the idea of seeing the two little refugees, Yan Jun had to give up.
Seeing this, one of the soldiers escorting the two refugees finally couldn't help but say, "The general is simply afraid of death!" Those of us who might be infected with the plague don't care about our lives or deaths, so what are we going to do with him? Waiting to die here?! ”
Yan Jun was very ashamed when he said this, now it is indeed the case, after those people from the surrounding counties ran away, in fact, he caught some people who wanted to escape, so that he could persuade people to come back, but it didn't take long for him to catch the plague and disappear.
It's just a little bit of a big soldier's egg, if Yan Jun hadn't stopped them when they ran away, maybe they would still be alive and well now, and they wouldn't be as gone as they are now.
But what could he do? The military order is like a mountain!
"Don't say any more, since the general refuses to interfere, then let's ask them ourselves, take them to wash first, and then give them something to eat, and wait."
Although Yan Jun still insisted on not escaping on the surface, he secretly made a decision in his heart, from this moment on, if there is a soldier absconding, as long as he is not discovered, then, run as far as he can, the farther he runs, the better, don't come back.
The two escorts looked at each other twice, then nodded and retreated with their fists at Yan Jun.
Fang Jie did not leave, and after waving his hand, he still stood quietly on the high slope, and then watched the movement of the people below, and the two soldiers carried the two little refugees, one tall and one short, who looked sloppy and sloppy.
And Yan Jun still stood in place and looked at Fang Jie quietly, hoping that the other party could be touched, after all, Fang Jie was their general, and he should stand up even more when he was in such a crisis, instead of being a turtle with a shrunken head, which was not right.
But the partial knot chose to do just that.
It's really sad and disappointing......
This is not in line with the majestic general in Yan Jun's mind, Fang Jie returned victoriously after five years of fighting abroad, and it only took five years to go from a fledgling soldier to a majestic general.
Many deeds about depicting Fang Jie were widely circulated in the streets and alleys of Shaoliang City for a period of time, and it can be said that part of the reason why Yan Jun came to join the army at that time was because of Fang Jie, and now, this Fang Jie General really disappointed and chilled him.
