Chapter 232: What's Uncomfortable
The lord of the city was in a hurry, went back to the house and hurriedly dressed, and then walked towards the door.
He beckoned to the guards who remained in the mansion, "Arrest Shen Ling for the city lord!" It's all her fault!"
The guards respected Shen Ling in their hearts and were grateful for Shen Ling's contribution to the plague, but the city lord was their master, and they couldn't disobey it.
On the other side, Shen Ling also knew the whole story.
The human heart is unpredictable, although she did everything possible to appease the people who had been plagued, but there were still people who did not believe it.
It didn't take long for the city lord to bring people over.
Seeing Shen Ling, he pointed at the person and shouted loudly, "Take her down to the city lord!"
Xi Jian immediately blocked in front of Shen Ling, "Presumptuous, this is the county lord of the dynasty, the one who helped you control the plague, what do you want to do!"
The city lord waved his robe violently, "What is the control of the plague, if it is not for the sick people in the quarantine area to take it out, how can the water source in this city be polluted!"
If it weren't for Shen Ling's quarantine measures and driving the sick people crazy, how could this kind of thing happen!
If Shen Ling hadn't come here, he would still be lying in his City Lord's Mansion at the moment, holding his wife and teasing his children!
Instead of being at risk of dying at any time, as is the case now!
The city lord's eyes were red, "It's good now, no one can escape, everyone will get the plague!"
The guards didn't move, and the city lord's breath was out of breath, and his chest rose and fell violently.
He angrily rebuked his men, "What are you doing! Don't you give the city the initiative!"
"County Lord, offended." The guards had no choice but to attack Shen Ling.
At the last moment, there was a clattering sound of horses' hooves outside the door, and the sound was amazing, and then the guard closest to Shen Ling felt a pain in his wrist, and he was actually missed by someone with a small stone.
"I see who dares to touch the county lord!"
A deep and piercing voice reached everyone's ears, causing everyone to turn their eyes to it.
Seeing the visitor, Xijian's face was overjoyed.
"Lord!"
Shen Ling's originally tense emotions eased a lot, and a hint of a smile that she hadn't noticed spread to the corners of her mouth.
"You're here."
Jing Xi's eyes were gentle, and he replied in a low voice, "Well, I'm here."
This was the first time the two had met since Shen Ling left Chaoguang City, and they looked at each other across the crowd, and the quiet time spread between the two.
But some people couldn't see the atmosphere and stepped forward to break the silence.
The city lord looked unkind, "Who are you?"
Jing Xi retracted his gaze and glanced at the city lord coldly, his eyes were like looking at ants.
Xijian stepped forward to answer, "My lord is the current national teacher."
"National Teacher?" The city lord was shocked, unlike Shen Ling, the county lord who had no real power, the national teacher was not something he could provoke at will.
But the lord of the city didn't believe it, "Why should I believe you?"
Jing Xi impatiently took out the token symbolizing his identity, and after the city lord saw it, he instantly shut up.
In front of everyone and the city lord, Jing Xi coldly announced, "From today on, the guards of the city lord's mansion and the defenders in the city will all be taken over by the national division, and now the national division orders you to leave here and not take the initiative against the county."
The city lord's face turned blue, and Jing Xi's words were like slapping him in the face in public.
But the city lord didn't dare to provoke, so he could only cooperate obediently.
"Let's go!" When the lord of the city came, he was violent, but when he left, he was like a lost dog.
After everyone left, Jing Xi followed Shen Ling to her room.
These days on the road, Jing Xi somewhat learned about the situation of the plague in the city, and he didn't want Shen Ling to come into contact with those who were infected.
"Ling'er, the plague is too dangerous and extremely transmissible, now that I'm here, you don't have to touch those patients, leave everything to me."
Hearing that Jing Ci was so worried about herself, Shen Ling was worried about Jing Ci before
Resentment has long since disappeared.
"I have a phoenix heart, this plague has no effect on me, and I already know how to deal with the plague, but now there is no time to deal with the quarantine area."
Saying that, Shen Ling smiled at Jing Ci, "Now that you are here, if you really want to help me, arrange the people in the quarantine area for me."
"Okay." Jing Xi's eyebrows and eyes are soft, and he should take a bite.
The two joined forces, and the situation quickly stabilized, and Shen Ling also began to dispense medicine and make Gu.
This is all thanks to Zhu Qing, Shen Ling found something against the plague on the Gu worms caught by Zhu Qing, as long as the sick people eat these Gu worms, and then add them with medicinal materials, the Gu worms will repair the bodies of people who have been mutilated by the plague in the human body with medicinal power, and then be naturally excreted by people.
In order to consider that the general acceptance of Gu worms by the people is not high, if they are directly asked to eat Gu worms and drink medicine, they will not be able to accept it, so Shen Ling pinched the Gu worms into the pill.
Since Shen Ling was too slow to make medicine alone, she simply called Zhuqing together and made a batch of pills first.
Shen Ling went to the quarantine area with the prepared pills, and many people infected with the plague were summoned.
Standing in the middle of the crowd, Shen Ling took out the pill and held it high.
"This is the medicine I developed to fight the plague, but no one has eaten it yet, and any of you would like to come out and be the first batch of drug testers."
The crowd was excited that Shen Ling had researched a medicine against the plague, but at the same time, they were also wondering if the medicine in Shen Ling's hand was really effective.
No one stepped forward, and Shen Ling raised his voice again, "It was you who were clamoring to cure the plague before, but now that the medicine has been made, why don't you want to take it?"
At this moment a thin girl in the crowd stood up, and she was also afraid and frightened, but her condition was very serious, and if there was no medicine against the plague, she would probably not live long.
She coughed, trembling and reached out her hand, "Ahem...... I...... I'll come."
Shen Ling put the pill in her hand in front of everyone, "Trust me, you'll be fine."
After the girl was the first to stand up, some people came out of the crowd one after another, and their skin was seriously rotten and very sick.
After dividing the first batch of pills, Shen Ling asked the people who took the pills to be taken to another place in the quarantine area for solitary isolation.
After a few days, these people who took the medicine gradually improved, the festering skin of the body stopped falling off, no longer coughed up black blood, and the strength recovered from their bodies little by little.
Shen Ling counted the time and gathered these people who had taken the medicine together.
"How?" she asked. Do you feel any discomfort after taking the medicine?"
"No, this is the first time I've ever felt better since the plague, and I feel like I've been cured."
