But at this time, Bai Shi forgot a very important thing.

- She is illiterate.

Yes, Bai Shi forgot.

Therefore, when Bai Shi climbed on Shen Shinian's shoulder and looked at Shen Shinian looking at those dense fonts, his eyes were dizzy.

What is this?

Seeing Bai Shi climb on his shoulder, Shen Shinian didn't stop him, and when he saw that she actually glanced at the book he was holding twice, Shen Shinian laughed.

"What, Xiaobai, are you still literate?"

“……”

What to do, I feel insulted.

Isn't literacy remarkable?!

Quan is also literate!

Quan Yan will not only show off like Shen Shinian!

Bai Shi glared at Shen Shinian viciously.

Shen Shinian didn't care, but his expression was a little dignified.

"Here's the prescription."

Prescription? What is the prescription?

Bai Shi didn't know.

Shen Shinian naturally wouldn't keep talking to himself with a cat, and after finishing speaking, he continued to bury his head in the prescription and didn't raise his head again.

-------------------------------------

A few days later, Bai Shi finally understood what the "prescription" Shen Shinian was talking about was.

The plague was rampant in Chang'an City.

When Bai Shi learned about this, it was because a subordinate in the Shizi Mansion was infected with the plague and was found out.

Only then did Bai Shi know that the plague in Chang'an City was already very powerful.

People in Chang'an City are panicking, every household locks their doors and windows, and all the lively streets in the past are blocked, and there is no vitality at all.

Shen Shinian once went to the street to investigate, and took Bai Shi with him.

Bai Shi witnessed such a desolate scene with his own eyes.

There were no people on the streets of Chang'an City, everyone closed their doors and windows, and people who had contracted the disease were thrown into the ruined temple not far from Chang'an City, and no one cared about it.

- It's all about this time, and no one wants to be afraid of death to save those who are struggling to survive.

Bai Shi had seen the epidemic prevailing.

There were dead people and bones everywhere, and all that rang in my ears was wailing.

Such a bleak scene was a very common scene when the heavens and the earth first opened.

Because no one can escape that catastrophe.

At that time, there were not many fierce beasts in heaven and earth.

Bai Shi is just one of them.

At that time, the war between the beasts was fierce.

For food, for resources, for territory, for survival......

All the beasts have to fight.

The beast that wins will meet the next war, and the beast that loses will become a meal for other beasts.

It's always been like this.

Such a "tradition" probably lasted for hundreds of years.

It was in that kind of war that Bai Shi survived.

At that time, it was said that each beast represented a kind of meaning.

For example, what Bai Shi represents is "suffering."

It's something unfortunate.

There are other beasts that represent all sorts of unfortunate things.

And among them, in addition to Bai Shi surviving, there are also fierce beasts that have always survived.

- Named "plague".

The plague of the plague.

Maybe all the fierce beasts represent misfortune, so Bai Shi didn't feel anything at that time.

But later, when Bai Shi walked in the world, he realized that she, as a "miserable", would really bring misery to the world.

Just like the fierce beast named "Plague", no matter where it goes, it will be criticized and feared by people.

When it arrived, people would shout "The plague is coming—the plague is coming—and their eyes were full of fear in their eyes."

Bai Shi once had a fight with the "plague".

"Plague" lost.

But it escaped while Bai Shi was not paying attention and picked up a life.

Probably because of this, the plague was able to survive the battle between the fierce beasts.

Moreover, I actually came here.

Thinking of this, Bai Shi narrowed his eyes.

When the fierce beasts were born, they were just ordinary evil beasts, but after so many years of cultivation and survival, they became more ferocious beings than the evil beasts.

And the reason why fierce beasts can become fierce beasts is because in order to survive, they choose to abandon all their emotions and nature, and become synonymous with all evil thoughts in the world.

They want to live, and that's the only way, and the only way to survive.

Bai Shi did this, and so did the plague.

So both of them survived.

It's just that later, Bai Shi followed the power and became a fierce beast with a master, but the plague shuttled between various planes and became a nightmare for countless people.

-------------------------------------

Shen Shinian looked at the desolate scene in front of him and sighed unconsciously.

He held Bai Shi in his hands and touched Bai Shi's head.

"Happy New Year, Xiaobai."

Bai Shi then remembered that today seemed to be the New Year.

It's just that......

There are no people on the streets, and there is no New Year's atmosphere at all.

Bai Shi lowered his head, just meowed, and said nothing.

-------------------------------------

There was such a big thing as the plague in Chang'an City, and the court had already exploded.

Quan Yan sat in the position next to Quan Qingyuan, his eyebrows and eyes were cold, and he didn't seem to be worried.

Quan Qingyuan sat on the throne, and his eyes still had the immaturity of a teenager.

Xu Junru said that he was sick, and he hadn't come to listen to politics for a long time.

"Your Majesty, Your Royal Highness the Regent, now that the plague is raging in Chang'an City, the people are miserable, and the ministers are really worried when they see this!"

Zuo Cheng said like this.

Quan Yi sat up straight, his posture was straight, and when he heard Zuo Cheng say this, Quan Yan hooked the corners of his lips: "So, Zuo Cheng thinks, what should we do to save the people from fire and water?" ”

A flash of firmness flashed in Zuo Cheng's eyes: "His Royal Highness the Regent of Qi Cake, Wei Chen thinks that all the passages out of the city should be blocked immediately, and in addition, all the people infected with the plague should be gathered together to facilitate management and treatment. ”

Kwon hooked his lips with disgust.

It's just some nonsense that treats the symptoms but not the root cause.

It's just that if you say this, it's naturally impossible for Quan to say it.

"Zuo Cheng is reasonable, but I don't know my lords, who has a better way?"

“……”

For a while, no one in the court spoke.

At this time, Ji Lan stood up.

"Back to His Royal Highness the Regent, his subordinates have a plan."

A hint of interest flashed in Quan's eyes.

"Oh? General Ji? Tell me about it? ”

Ji Lan's eyes were cold and resolute: "Chop the grass and eradicate the roots." ”

“……”

The next moment, the entire court exploded.

-------------------------------------

Shen Shinian looked at the gray weather outside the window, and his expression was slightly cold.

Shen Shinian is the son of the world, and as an "outsider", he is naturally unable to participate in the government of the court.

It's just that Shen Shinian doesn't seem to be very interested in these either, every time a courtier comes to visit Shen Shinian and asks questions about the court, Shen Shinian always doesn't know anything.
