Si Lan and Xiao Yao knelt on the ground and raised their little faces after listening to the holy decree and asked, "Where is my brother?" The two eunuchs looked at each other and said, "He said he didn't have the face to go back." ”

When the army arrived in Loulan on the third day, everything was still asleep, including General Xiongshan, who was basically caught off guard, and Xiongshan trembled in the face of the Loulan golden knife in Silan's hand that was only three millimeters away from the tip of his nose. In Xiao Yao's opinion, the Hun general obviously wanted to awaken a little human sympathy to Silan, a kind princess, through this kind action.

Xiao Yao saw Si Lan's golden knife slap on Xiongshan's face, and suddenly moved to the vicinity of the general's neck, and there was a 360-degree turn, and the general's majestic head fell to the ground, and rolled on the ground. Two words came out of Silan's mouth: "Tiger Garden." As the name suggests, Tiger Park is a place where tigers are raised, and Xiao Yao suddenly has infinite sympathy for Xiongshan.

Xiongshan's death did not bring much joy to Loulan, and a great plague ensued. I have to say that Loulan is a country full of disasters. Compared to the army of good people, the power of this plague is not inferior at all. The sick person first had a fever, then chills, and then wore a large cotton jacket, and then stripped naked and jumped into the salt lake, and finally went crazy and died. Many homes died empty. An old man who has lived for an estimated few hundred years said that Loulan has no king and is going to die.

When the Loulan people were almost dead, the soldiers of the Han Dynasty also began to die, and their speed was even faster, in a blink of an eye, more than half of them died, and if this continued, Xiao Yao knew that in less than a week, the army sent by Liu Che would all become the ghosts of Biansai. On the last day of the month, Slan also fell ill.

This small country is full of piles of corpses that need to be buried, for the corpses of the Xiongnu, they take the method of burning, for the Han people, they take the burial; For the clansmen, they insisted on their own way, that is, tree burial, and were unmoved by Xiao Yao's persuasion, so the Loulan people cut down almost all the trees outside the city.

More than 2,000 years ago, the people of Loulan were not aware of the danger that this behavior brought to them. As a modern person, Xiao Yao believes that he has a responsibility to dissuade. Xiao Yao said, you can't cut down trees like this. Silan was unmoved: "This is the most important part of the funeral of Loulan State, if there is no tree burial, the soul of a person cannot ascend to heaven." Xiao Yao knew that he couldn't stop the Loulan people's dream of ascending to heaven, and Silan couldn't stop it, even if it was their king.

Xiao Yao looked at the sky silently, and two auspicious clouds appeared in the sky, one called auspicious and the other called cloud. The dead continued, and this little kingdom was filled with sorrow and despair. Xiao Yao suddenly thought of artemisinin, and when he thought of it, he didn't feel much excitement, more of a reproach to himself, why did he think of it now? It may have something to do with his mentality, he had been hoping that the starspot on his forehead would help him, but the starspot was clearly in a state of slumber this time. He had to figure it out on his own.

The symptoms of this plague patient are basically very similar to malaria, Xiao Yao ran to the lake and took a turn, saw a large piece of yellow artemisia as he wished, pinched the leaves with his hand and rubbed them to the bottom of his nose and smelled them, emitting a strong smell, he picked up a scimitar on the ground, cut some and brought it back. Silan asked, "What is this?" Xiao Yao said: "This is a medicinal herb used to cure diseases. ”

Silan shook his head, it can't be cured. Xiao Yao smashed the artemisia grass with the utensils used to pound the herbs, and used the juice of the leaves and stems to brew a small half cup of water for Si Lan to drink. Xiao Yao saw a thin layer of ruddy slowly soaking out of Si Lan's pale face. Slan said, I feel better. Silan, who could speak, called the people from Loulan Country and asked Xiao Yao to tell them how to use this magical grass to cure the plague.
