Who threads the needle between them? There must be a third party that links them together. Rong Yi and the Nanlin Society under his leadership definitely have this ability and possibility. But if so, why would they do it? What is the purpose?

Nanlin Society is formed by the integration of Nanlin Sword School and Yi Society, both samurai who are good at swordsmanship, and spies who are good at lurking spying, according to Ji Duoyou's experience, their power in the grassland is not small, and they can influence the ownership of the throne of Guzhu, this organization is terrible! It is even larger and more dangerous than the Yi Society of the past. But there is also the public support of Mrs. Wei and the secret support of Song Guo behind it, and even he, the minister in charge, can't help it. When he asked Rong Yi to leave Hojing, he also thought about it, but did he really leave?

"Xiangye!" Uncle Mi's soft call pulled him back from his infinite thoughts.

"Oh, Uncle Mi, how is the situation in the palace?" Zhao Bohu asked with concern.

"It has been arranged, everyone in the palace is not allowed to go out in the past few days, and all the necessary ingredients and materials will be distributed from outside the palace and handed over at the palace gate. Xiangye is relieved to ensure that the epidemic does not spread outside the palace. ”

Uncle Mi's words were conclusive, but Zhao Bohu was not so relieved, he sighed: "Do your best, wait for the destiny of heaven!" ”

"What else?" Seeing that Uncle Mi had no intention of leaving, Zhao Bohu was quite strange.

Uncle Mi raised his eyes and looked outside the door, and asked softly, "For the young man Boyan, is Xiangye really so relieved?" After all, he is the son of a wasted prince! ”

This matter has already spread throughout the Hojing, after the prince rebelled against the Qi country, leaving his wife and children without anyone to take care of, fortunately, Zhou Gongding sent people to send some household goods from time to time, which was barely supported. I don't want to, I came and went, Wang Zihui's wife and Zhou Gongding's second son, who came to send the family, fell in love for a long time and got together. After the prince was sent to the capital by the head of the king, this woman openly entered the Zhou Mansion as the second son's concubine. Boyan, the son of Prince Hui, could not bear the rumors, and refused to follow his mother into the Zhou Mansion, and threw himself into the Zhaogong Mansion as a housekeeper.

Zhao Bohu smiled: "The matter of the father's generation should not be delayed to the children and grandchildren. What's more, after all, it is also the royal family surnamed Ji, who can take care of it as much as possible, as for his heart, he will see people's hearts for a long time! Don't worry about it. ”

"No!" Uncle Mi had no choice but to admit it.

Smoke and dust are billowing out, and a yellow horse and a black horse are galloping together on the official road leading to Hojing in Wangnan------

In the afternoon of early summer, the ox carts on the official road are connected to each other, and there is an endless rumbling sound, and the beautiful and deep poplar forest canyons on both sides also look hot and dry. But I saw the yellow and black horses galloping south along the side of the road, and when the passers-by looked up, the two horses had floated past like two flowing clouds.

"Good riding!" Someone let out a sigh of admiration from the cart.

"The most strange thing is that there is only one knight, this is a transfer of cars!" The ox coachmen stood on the side of the road and saw it more realistically. The knight was dressed in a dark color suit, and he could see that it was a uniform dress in the armor of the Miyagi guards. How big of a deal does this have to be, so in such a hurry to change trains?

But the knight Ji Tayou didn't care about this, all he wanted at this time was to rush back to the palace of Hokyo as soon as possible, find the beard, and arrive a moment earlier to save more lives. To do this, he must work fast and race against the clock-------

At this time, on the northern grassland, there is also a white horse galloping on the boundless field. In early summer, the grass on the grassland has no knees, undulating with the wind, and the white horse walks in the long grass, as if stepping on the waves on the blue waves, the whole body is light and fluttering, and it is drunk. There are many unknown wildflowers growing on the grassland, and the fragrance of them penetrates the heart.

But the knight on the white horse didn't care to enjoy such a beautiful scenery, and he jumped up a mountain on his horse. A few miles away there is a tribal settlement that stretches for dozens of kilometers, there are more than 200 tents of all sizes, and the stars are like a moon around a tall golden-domed tent, which is the king's tent.

"Finally found, Lynx Royal Court!" The knight let out a long breath and leaned forward a few more steps, as if to see better. But to his disappointment, it was too far away, and he couldn't do it. Helpless, he could only ride his horse to the royal court to ------ the Fun Pavilion

The next night, when the clouds were thick and the rain was pouring down, two horses, one yellow and one black, entered the city before the gate of the capital city was closed, and hurried to the gate of the palace.

Ji Duoyou was already soaking wet, got off the horse, and staggered to collapse. The guard on duty recognized him and hurriedly supported him left and right: "Is it Lord Sima?" You're back! The king sent someone to the palace gate to ask three times today! ”

A bolt of lightning pierced the night sky, and the inside and outside of the palace walls instantly became bright. Ji Duoyou was really anxious and tired, and it was too late to ask why, so he just ordered repeatedly: "Hurry, lead the horse!" Help me go to the district outside Xuanning Palace! ”

As soon as he entered the hospital, the guard at the door was familiar, and Duoyou asked unintentionally: "Little brother, is Ji Jie better?" "According to Duoyou's estimate, Ji Jie's body is as strong as a cow, and he will definitely survive any epidemic.

The guard choked up and said, "Lord Sima, Captain Ji died in the afternoon today, and he has been dragged into the mass grave of Xuanning Palace!" ”

"What? Are you telling the truth? Ji Duoyou couldn't believe his ears, and he asked the same answer several times, and he didn't feel dizzy. Ji Jie, how could he be so young, so strong, and alive on the battlefield, so killed by an epidemic? Didn't he say every day, "If it's a man, you have to die on the battlefield"? Is this true?

He pushed away the arm of the guard who wanted to help him, and hurried into his bedroom, not bothering to wipe the dripping rain on his face and body, trembling and groping under the mattress------It's okay, it's okay, the beard is still in place!"

He hurriedly lit the oil lamp on the table, looked at the beard again and again, but still couldn't see clearly, simply raised the oil lamp, and shone it carefully on the beard, and the bottom of the beard seemed to be engraved with words: "Ten points for black beak, six points for fine xin, ten points for atractylodes, four points for cinnamon, drink a knife gui with warm soup, three days and nights, do not sweat." ”

"Yes, yes, this is the epidemic formula!" Ji Tayou was ecstatic and ran out, and actually knocked the oil lamp to the ground.

He was about to run to the palace medical office, when he suddenly saw a woman crying and pestering at the entrance of Xuanning Palace: "Master Jun, our mother is no longer good, the imperial doctor has been called back again, please let the slave go out and report to the king." Anyway, the Queen Mother is also the king's stepmother, wow! How can you watch her die? ”

"The king has an order to block Xuanning Palace, don't say it's a person, it's a mouse, a flea, and you can't go out of the palace!" The sergeant shouted.

Ji Duoyou recognized that the woman was his uncle, and hurriedly went over and asked, "Stop, wait for me to ask a few words!" ”

"No!" The masked sergeant stood with his hands down and reminded: "Lord Sima, there is a terrible epidemic here, more than half of the people have died, and the people who disposed of the corpses today are gone. You can't get too close! ”

"Hmm!" Ji Duoyou stopped and asked, "How is Niangniang?" Isn't the Imperial Doctor here? ”

"Lord Sima, help!" Uncle Yu knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing: "Niangniang only has air in and no breath out, and her body is still twitching." The Imperial Physician Department said that at present, the epidemic in other palaces began and there was a shortage of manpower, so Imperial Doctor Hu was transferred. We have no doctor and no medicine here, and the mother ------ see that it is going to die! ”

"Ahh Ji Duoyou instinctively wanted to rush in, but was stopped by the double halberds crossed by the sergeants: "Lord Sima, the king has an order, no one is allowed to enter Xuanning Palace!" ”

"Let the mother persevere, I have brought back the epidemic prescription, so I will go to the medical office and let them decoct the medicine. Wait for me! Himetayu's voice dragged out in the night wind------

"Epidemic prescription, I got it!" When Ji Duoyou trotted into the main hall of the medical office, another lightning bolt pierced the night sky, and the hall suddenly became bright.

He clearly saw that Zhou Li Wang Jihu was standing in the center of the hall like a stone pillar, and two long lines of tears rolled down his cheeks. On his side, one on the left and one on the right, there were two stretchers, a sixteen or seventeen-year-old woman on the left was no longer moving, and a girl on the right was still struggling in pain.

Suddenly, as if a dying man had grasped a life-saving straw, Ji Hu grabbed his sleeve and asked, "What did you say?" Have you gotten the prescription? Why didn't you bring it earlier? Maybe my cousin is still saved! ”

Duoyou realized that the woman who had just died was Cousin Wang's Shaoji, and quickly knelt down and pleaded: "The minister is late, and the minister deserves death!" The king, the minister has just come from Xuanning Palace, and the queen mother is dying, please ask the medical department to decoction medicine according to the prescription, or it may be able to save her life! ”

"Someone!" Ji Hu's face was like a cloudy night sky: "Decoction a pair of medicines according to this recipe for Wang Mei to take, remember, only one pair is allowed to be decocted to test the effect of the medicine!" ”

"But ------- the Queen Mother, she ------," Ji Duoyou asked.

Ji Hu suddenly became furious, waved his sleeves violently and said, "Let her die, let her die!" The initiator, why not? ”

The doors and windows of the hall of the medical office were wide open, and the storm saw an opportunity to take advantage of the situation, and rushed to rush in from the half-pulled and shaky households. Everyone can feel the chill of the dampness. The occasional lightning bolt that pierced the night sky lit up everyone's pale faces in a moment of recklessness.

The two imperial doctors stood by the stretcher, one on the left and one on the right, observing Zhongji's performance after taking the medicine. Just now, two or three people helped, pinching their noses and pressing their hands, and it was easy to open the child's clenched teeth, and poured a bowl of medicine down, not wanting to vomit half of it again. Ji Hu Shengsheng couldn't help but feel distressed, don't turn his face and harden his heart not to look at it.

When Ji Tayu first came in, Zhong Ji's small body had been swallowed by the epidemic, and the lump in her groin was hard and painful, and she couldn't even move her limbs freely, and she was completely unresponsive.

After pouring a stick of incense, Zhong Ji's body began to twitch and toss in the quilt. She moaned on the bed, and the doctors on either side of her suddenly became nervous, and everyone's eyes were fixed on the child.
