The boy nodded and handed his hand over.

Seeing that the boy's face was flushed as if he was in a high fever, the coachman almost rolled off the seat and waved his hand again and again: "It's all plague people...... I don't dare! ”

And this situation, how wrong it looks, it seems that there is some kind of disagreement...... If he does something he shouldn't have done, or if he hears something he shouldn't have heard, he'll die!

The more the driver thought about it, the more frightened he became, and he ran away.

The girl sitting in the car was Qiao Yumian.

Because Dr. Sun in the car was not used to sharing a car with other doctors, Qiao Yumian bought another carriage and horse, and this coachman was also hired by Qiao Yumian at a high price out of his own purse, and promised to send her to Yuezhou before leaving.

Qiao Yumian had just followed the team of doctors, and when he saw a fire in front of him, he realized that something was wrong, so he stuffed the coachman with silver and asked him to leave the convoy from the rear to take a look at the situation ahead-

Seeing the coachman leave at this time, Qiao Yumian gritted her teeth, sat in the driver's position, grabbed the reins, and shouted in a trembling voice: "...... Drive! ”

She had previously lost her sight as a result of a fall from a horse as a child. Although his eyes have been healed, there is still an indelible shadow on the horse.

But at this time, he couldn't take care of a lot, and he was too nervous, Qiao Yumian was trembling uncontrollably and crying, while driving the carriage forward to report the news.

Soon, more than a dozen shacks, nearly 10,000 people fled one after another, more than half of the shacks have been burned, but because the situation was disturbed by Song Xian first, the people's desire and courage to survive were stimulated, and the soldiers who were ordered to set fire could no longer deter and suppress so many people for a while.

Deputy General Yan Chenglu's face was gloomy.

He didn't expect such a situation at this time, so he only brought less than a thousand people, but in fact there were quite a few thousand soldiers, and there were more than a dozen shacks, each of which gathered hundreds of sick people, guarded by sixty or seventy soldiers with knives, which was very sufficient, and even more than enough—

But the bad thing is that there is a young official who does not follow the rules, falsely preaches the holy will, and acts completely recklessly!

And this person said conclusively, claiming that the saint was not allowed to hurt the people, so that many soldiers could not distinguish the true from the false, and they did not dare to rashly kill those people for a while, so they missed the best opportunity to control the situation at the first time, and the situation quickly became out of control-

Even now, there are still many soldiers who are still watching uncertainly!

Yan Chenglu was so annoyed that he sat on horseback, scolded loudly and ordered the soldiers to be assembled.

If it is self-defeating, let these people run away like this, and spread the plague again, he is afraid that he will not be able to eat and go around!

But as he chased people forward and saw the situation ahead, Yan Chenglu laughed sarcastically.

Those fools panicked, for fear that they would be shot alone, and there were people in command, so they almost all rushed together, and fled in the same direction with the people in front—

Most people can't tell the specific direction in the case of extreme panic, and this place is hundreds of miles away from Yuezhou City, which is not the environment that these people in Yuezhou are accustomed to, and the dense vegetation in summer obstructs the view ahead, they don't know where the road under their feet will lead, and they only know that they can only live by running forward.

Song Xian, who was holding a burned child and riding a horse to maintain order in the procession, faintly smelled the hot and humid breath in the air, looked ahead, and vaguely glimpsed the situation ahead through the height of the horse, his face changed suddenly, and he shouted: "...... Stop it! Don't go any further! ”

And hurriedly pointed the way: "Quickly pass through the grass here and go to the left!" ”

But his voice sank like a stone into the sea in the crowd of people who were running wildly, and there were no waves.

The crowd ran forward like a flock of sheep being pursued by wild beasts.

Until the soldiers in the rear gradually approached, and began to slowly enclose their left and right sides of the road, forming a three-sided encirclement trend, and the only remaining front was the turbulent Han River.

The high summer water level of the river flowed endlessly, blocking their only way forward.

They have no way out, and there is no way back.

An atmosphere of panic and despair spread among the crowd.

Song Xian dismounted and stood at the front of the crowd.

Yan Chenglu drove the horse, approached unhurriedly, and said with a smile: "It seems that this is the will of heaven, God has the virtue of a good life, and I don't want to see the plague spread!" ”

Yan Chenglu said, looking at Song Xian: "This lord should be glad that this time has not made a big mistake, otherwise once the evil consequences of the spread of the plague are caused, you and I can't afford it!" ”

"Killing the epidemic is not the best policy!" Song Xian stretched out his hand and pointed at the people beside him, and said angrily: "Today, tens of thousands of lives are here, and the saint has not made it clear, how can you do this act of slaughtering the people!" ”

Yan Chenglu sneered and laughed, the saint has not yet made it clear? This kind of thing still needs to be made explicit by the saints?

How did these people become officials?

Yan Chenglu didn't answer, and he couldn't take it, he just looked at Song Xian and said, "This lord, turn back to the shore-"

Song Xian didn't move an inch: "This official is going to the palace to test, the sage Qin nodded his name and is the champion, and now he is serving in the Yushitai, and today there is this official here, and see who dares to hurt the people in the slightest!" ”

Yan Chenglu laughed again in his heart, he was still a champion!

"Disrespectful." Yan Chenglu raised his hand holding the reins without any respect: "Since he is the champion prince valued by the saint, then the humble position will remind the lord again, if the lord still insists on going his own way——"

As he spoke, his gaze swept to those people: "If you are so lowly and worried about the overall situation, you can only correct the law on the spot with the crime of deliberately spreading the plague and these ill-intentioned people!" ”

It is true that the officials in the DPRK are not something he can kill casually, and if he hadn't had this scruples, he wouldn't have talked nonsense with the other party.

But this is not in Beijing, and now it is not in the peaceful years when everything is controlled by civil officials, if the other party really doesn't know how to promote, he can't be killed!

Seeing that Song Xian couldn't deter these sergeants at all, the old man surnamed Zuo said with tears in his eyes: "The kindness of the adults, the grass people are grateful......

As he spoke, he knelt down and bowed to Song Xian: "...... Providence is so, please go back! ”

There is no way for them to survive, and if this lord can live, he must be a good official who can benefit one side...... Nowadays, there are too few such officials, and they have to live.

Seeing that the left member was like this, the other people couldn't help but cry, there was anger and unwillingness in their eyes, but more of them were unable to accept their fate.

They were too scared and tired, and they no longer had the strength and strength to struggle.

At the end, a woman near the water's edge tried to throw her child into the river, but was stopped by the people beside her.

The cry of the woman who was being pulled was full of grief and despair: "...... I'd rather dedicate this life to the Hanshui Goddess than die under the evil ghost knife of these beast-faced beasts! ”

Hearing her mention the goddess of Hanshui, many people cried and knelt down at Hanshui.

There have been many legends about the goddess on the bank of the Han River, and it is said that the two goddesses of the Han River are wise and benevolent, strong and soft, saving the suffering and saving the suffering, and caring for the common people.

"Pray for the goddess to appear...... Uphold justice and lead us to a way out! ”

"Ask the Divine Woman to be merciful......

More and more people fell to their knees, weeping and praying for God's blessing.

Song Xian heard it in his ears, his heart was like a knife, and he couldn't bear to look back.

These people have suffered first from war, then from epidemics, and now they have been forced into such a desperate situation by the imperial court that they can only kneel and pray for God's blessing...... What kind of rotten world is this?!

He has been in the cold for more than ten years, and finally put on this official robe...... In order to serve such a court and be loyal to such a king?

The king gets power, or it is a matter of course, if he is not a little Song Xian, he can put his beak...... But if the king only has the word power in his heart, what should the small people do in the troubled times?

Song Xian stood motionless in place, but his heart collapsed like Mount Tai, only to feel that the past cognition was completely defeated, and pathos and anger erupted from the bottom of his heart, burning those disintegrating fragments into ashes.

At this time, Yan Chenglu's voice sounded: "This adult, so-and-so's patience is running out. ”

Song Xian squeezed out a stunned laugh from his teeth, but only resoluteness and loneliness were left in his reddened eyes: "Today, Song Xian swears to advance and retreat with the people of Dasheng!" ”

It doesn't matter if he doesn't know how to be flexible and stupid, or if he's crazy to cut off his future......

But if those who wear official robes and hold authority do not want to stand in front of the people, then the way of this world will perish!

If the world is about to die, he Song Xian will not die!

He didn't do anything today, just to do what Song Xian should do!

The cry of the people behind him shook the sky, not only for himself, but also for the young official who had never known each other and protected him with his life.

"Good! Since Lord Song is so stubborn, then Lord Song's ambition to be a ghost will be fulfilled in the future! As Yan Chenglu spoke, he drew his sword and drove the horse.

He has killed many people, but it is the first time that he considers himself an upright civil official.

In the past, he would have to weigh it again, but now is different!

This world is in chaos, the world is now the world of their generals, the court must rely on them to kill the enemy, and the saints must also rely on them to quell the chaos!

This control of life and death, the condescending pleasure impacted Yan Chenglu, making a strange murderous light appear in his eyes.

He killed this troublesome Song Xian first, and the rest of these lamb-like people would no longer dare to resist!

And when he drove the horse and the knife, many people spontaneously stopped in front of Song Xian, and many people escorted Song Xian to retreat.

At this time, among the people in the rear, someone suddenly shouted: "The goddess of Hanshui has appeared...... Manifestation! ”

At first it was a child's cry, for he saw that there was no wind on the water, but it shook the waves—

People always want to believe what they want to hear, and in the shadow of death, this redemptive word quickly spreads through the crowd, and they shout as if the louder they shout, the more likely it is that what is said will come true.

Just like those legends that gather the minds of all people and can move the gods.

Yan Chenglu suddenly reined in his horse, stopped his movements, and concentrated on distinguishing something.

He never believed in ghosts and gods, and he didn't take the crazy words of these people before they died, but he vaguely heard the sound of horses' hooves approaching here, and the ground shook slightly—

Sure enough, after a few more breaths, the sound of the horse's hooves could already be heard clearly, and its momentum was vigorous, like a summer thunder rolling in.

Song Xian, who was being pushed into the crowd by the people, turned his head sharply to look to the right, if it was General Xiao, he would definitely come from behind those people, not from the side...... If it's not General Xiao, it will be......

Song Xian, who had already had a mortal heart, almost stopped breathing to identify the comer, until he saw a military flag waving in front of the rolling iron horseman, and on it was an extremely eye-catching word "Chang"!

Song Xian's resolute face suddenly showed a distinct expression that had never been seen before, and it was difficult to distinguish crying and laughing - he didn't know whether the other party came or not, whether he came for these people, but as long as it was her, it would be better!

Song Xian hurriedly led the people back to make way for the rolling iron horse.

Yan Chenglu was also driving his horse back, and the team behind him was all waiting for him with a vigilant expression.

Flying dust floated, drifting in the summer sun, the armor of the iron cavalry seemed to be plated with streamers by the shaking river, and in the distance there were still unknown people shouting "goddess apparition".

After retreating some distance with the people, Song Xian pushed aside the crowd and walked in the direction of the people step by step.

The iron horses slowed down, but as they approached, the sense of intimidation grew.

The riverside path was narrow, and the iron cavalry team couldn't see the end at a glance, and the first hundred or so people arrived first, and after they reached the front of those people, they tightened the reins, turned the horse's head, and the horses and the people on the horse were facing the direction of Yan Chenglu and the rest of the soldiers.

The leader is very young, dressed in a sleeved robe, tied his hair with copper hairpins, his fine forehead hair is slightly wet with sweat, but his face is more dazzling than the sun, his eyebrows and eyes are dark, and his momentum is natural.

Yan Chenglu's eyes changed slightly, he had seen Chang Suining, when he was in Xingyang-

Because of this, he, like Li Xian, whom he is loyal to, does not have a good impression of Chang Suining.

But he glanced at the iron cavalry that was still following closely, and he didn't want to easily conflict with it, so he raised his hand and saluted, and said tentatively: "I don't know if the Chang Jie envoy came from afar, can you give advice?" ”

The girl on the tall horse did not answer at all, but asked, "What is happening here?" ”

This condescending tone made Yan Chenglu very unhappy in his heart, but he still replied: "Chang Jie's envoy doesn't know, these people in Yuezhou behind you are all plague-"

But instead of seeing the look of fear and avoidance on the girl's face as he wished, he was interrupted by the other party: "I want Lord Song to answer." ”

As Chang Suining spoke, he turned his head to look at Song Xian.

Yan Chenglu, who was interrupted, gritted his teeth.

Song Xian's demeanor calmed down slightly, and he saluted Chang Sui Ning Shenyi, did not straighten up, and said bluntly: "The people under the command of the Korean public want to burn all the people suffering from the epidemic to death, and the lower officials and the people fled here, and there is no way out...... Hopefully, the envoy will come to the rescue! ”

Chang Sui Ning nodded in response: "It's easy to say." ”

She agreed very easily, and as she spoke, she turned her head to look at Yan Chenglu and the others, and said in an informative tone: "You can't take these people away today." ”

This natural tone made Yan Chenglu unable to suppress his anger any longer: "Is this a regular envoy to disobey the holy order!" ”

"Holy Order? Did the Holy Command Jean and others kill all the plagued people? Chang Suining's tone was flat: "The sage's edict to the subjects of the world did not say so. ”

Yan Chenglu clenched the reins: "...... We are not trying to kill the epidemic people, but we are ordered to bring them back to the settlement, and please don't obstruct them! ”

Chang Suining shook his head calmly: "That's not okay." ”

(I wish you all a happy Women's Day, I wish you Ningning, and I wish us independence, bravery, abundance, equality, pride, freedom, happiness, and good night!)
