Chapter 285: Hope

The dog that bites people does not bark, and some people seem to have no intention of harming others, but as long as they give him a chance, he can fight back and never show mercy.

Ji Yuanzheng has behaved like a weak and incompetent lost dog these days, hiding in the dark and letting Ji Zi'an beat and scold, just wanting to leave his life and return to Beijing alive.

Before Lord Xie left, he told him that he wanted to use Ji Yuanzheng, and he thought that Lord Xie had seen the wrong person this time.

Cheng Rui said: "What are you going to do?" “

"Ji Yanran asked me to go out of the city with her, there are too many people in the city to protect her, so it's easy to start outside the city."

Cheng Rui shook his head: "Li Ji still has the Cheng family brothers by his side, and he wants to kill people without leaving any traces...... It's hard, I'm afraid. “

As soon as Cheng Rui's words fell, Ji Yuanzheng's eyes widened: "What if the wounded soldiers outside the city riot?" “

Hearing the word wounded soldiers, Cheng Rui felt a pang in his heart: "The people who came down from the guard post have arrived in Dingzhou one after another, and the Khitans retreated without a fight when they saw Li Yong's general banner, this battle has been fought, where did so many wounded soldiers come from." “

"What I said is true," Ji Yuanzheng said, "No matter where the wounded soldiers came from, they hid outside the city and refused to enter, and secretly found the Tian family to get some herbs to cure the plague." Ji Yanran was going to take people to persuade them to enter the city. “

Cheng Rui frowned.

If what Ji Yuanzheng said was true, and those people were unlikely to be the wounded soldiers who retreated from the guard, who would they be? Could it be the ones he hid?

Ji Yanran checked the roster when he was treating the wounded soldiers, he was afraid that Ji Yanran would find out the clues, so he placed them in a nearby village, and also sent Lang Zhong to prepare medicinal stones to send, as long as he could think of everything, there should be no mistakes, unless they want to betray the Jiang family......

If this is really the case, he will die without redemption, and the Jiang family and the crown prince will blame him for not being able to start the kill, leaving such a disaster.

Seeing Cheng Rui frowning and silent, Ji Yuanzheng thought he was hesitant, so he continued: "I have already calculated, the number of people dying of illness in the city has been decreasing since three days ago, and there are not many patients who can be found outside the city, and soon the epidemic will be quelled, this is our last chance." “

He can kill Ji Yanran at this time, and he will have a share of the credit for quelling the epidemic.

Although it is very risky and done well, it can kill two birds with one stone.

"I'll take someone to follow you," Cheng Rui said in a low voice, "I'll do it if I have the chance, but don't act rashly, otherwise don't blame me for not coming to the rescue." “

Ji Yuanzheng smiled happily and nodded hurriedly: "That's natural, I'll listen to your arrangement." “

……

Lao Lei drove the car very steadily, and one of the Cheng brothers was in front of the car and the other was behind the car.

"You're a great whip." Cheng Da always felt that this inconspicuous old man who was driving a car was a little familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it for a while.

"There's no way," Lao Lei said with a smile, "Little Lao'er wants to make a living from this, unlike you who have fist and foot kung fu and can be the guard of a big family." “

Lao Lei's voice seemed to be a little ridiculous.

Where does a coachman get his pride, he seems to look down on the Cheng brothers.

Cheng Da was not angry, and said with a smile: "We can do something else, but those things are very boring for our brothers, and it is only happy to follow Grandma Li San to do things." “

Maybe he vaguely heard his brother's words, and Cheng Er's hearty laughter came from the back of the car.

This time, Lao Lei no longer spoke, but concentrated on catching the car.

Entering a forest, I saw in the distance several rudimentary thatched huts, apparently recently erected, hidden in the dense woods, where it was difficult to find them unless one looked carefully.

"There it is." Lao Lei pointed in the direction of the grass hut.

Ji Yuanzheng looked around, but he didn't see any trace of Cheng Rui, and couldn't help but be a little worried, if Cheng Rui didn't come, then there would be no point in him taking risks this time.

"Is there really anyone living here?" Ji Yuanzheng said, "I don't see any smoke." “

Now is the time to cook, and every house in the city is starting a fire to cook, but there is a dead silence here.

Lao Lei said: "Isn't it inevitable that someone will find out about the smoke coming out of the woods, they will not light a fire during the day, and will only cook some simple meals at night." “

"Here's Langzhong!" Ji Yanran got off the carriage, walked to the side, and picked up the diagnosis pillow on the ground, there was not much dust on the diagnosis pillow, and it should be discarded soon.

Lao Lei seemed to know the situation here very well, and nodded: "There are two Lang Zhong taking care of them, let's go in and have a look." “

Ji Yuanzheng covered his mouth and nose first, and took the initiative to retreat back, he naturally would not go ahead.

Old Thunder went to knock on the door.

After waiting for a long time, the door slowly opened, and then a childish face appeared from inside, and a smile appeared on his face when he saw Lao Lei: "You are here." “

As he spoke, he saw Ji Yanran and the Cheng family brothers, and immediately frowned: "Who are they and what are they doing here?" “

Lao Lei said gently: "They are the ones I found to treat you." “

Before the child could speak, a deep voice came from the house: "We are not sick, but there is a sick person in the village, we are not willing to stay, temporarily live here to avoid the epidemic, the plague is rampant everywhere, we don't believe outsiders, you go quickly!" “

When these words came out, the child at the door bowed his head, and his eyes were full of sadness.

Ji Yanran suddenly spoke: "Lang Zhong, who treated you, escaped, right?" “

There was silence in the room.

Ji Yanran continued: "I brought the medicine to cure the disease, there are already patients in the city who have taken it to get better, and if you are lucky, you will have a fever after taking the medicine." “

The man finally spoke again: "It turns out that it also depends on luck. “

"Of course," Ji Yanran raised her head, she knew that there must be a pair of eyes watching her behind the window, "The epidemic has spread to the present, so many people have died, it is naturally good luck to be able to live until now, there are patients in the city who have been cured, it can be seen that the current treatment method is useful, if you are lucky, you can survive this epidemic." “

"What if you're lucky?" The voice became very desolate, "We don't want to go into the city, we will die here." “

"Wouldn't you feel sorry?" Ji Yanran looked at the child at the door, "You can live when you can live, why do you choose to die." “

The child's eyes were red at the door, and tears kept sliding down his face.

"That's it," Ji Yanran sighed, "You promise me a few things, I can not bring you into the city, but leave the boiled medicine, hoping to tide you over." “

When Ji Yanran said this, the child at the door had a look of surprise on his face, and even Lao Lei was very surprised, looking at Ji Yanran in a daze.
