But at the moment, such a thing cannot be known to Xiao Ce for the time being.

There is almost no place for people to be buried in Chang'an City, Li Hanning took a look at this room, lit the firewood here, and brought the fire everywhere with this firewood.

Li Hanning looked at the mutilated corpses piled up in the corner and said, "Meng Liang, I have wronged you today, and when the epidemic dissipates one day, I should relocate your grave and erect a monument." ”

If she can leave Chang'an alive in the future, she will never break her word, or they are unlucky, then Li Hanning will also go to Huangquan to apologize to him in the near future.

The fire spread in an instant, engulfing the room little by little, from the inside out.

Li Hanning walked out with his back to the firelight, listening to the cries and shouts around him, he only felt that they were a little noisy, they killed Meng Liang, and it was the principle of heaven to kill people to pay off their debts and money, not to mention that the couple and Meng Liang's death were inseparable.

Since they looked so painful, Li Hanning thought that it would be better to help them get rid of it, so when she walked to the door of the room, she bent down and picked up the sword that she had just thrown down, and used the same sword to kill the couple who seemed to have some resignation.

Li Hanning shot cleanly, there was no pain when they left, blood was splashed almost all over the ground, and some of it was splashed on Li Hanning's body, but she didn't notice it at that time.

This was the first time she had killed ordinary people with a sword, and she knew why he had killed those people in the past, and she knew why they died, and she did it today.

When Li Hanning returned to the Ming Palace, he noticed that he was stained with blood, so he had to return to the guest room to change his clothes, which were not her size originally, and they were naturally loose to wear, and after wearing them, the things in the cuffs fell out, and it was best to fall to the ground in front of him.

Li Hanning leaned over and picked it up, recognizing that this was a medicinal material, if she remembered correctly, this was a parsnip, she had seen it in Meng Liang's wounded barracks before, just because it was both medicine and poison, and Daliang had expressly forbidden the people to plant it in the past, so few people near Chang'an City planted this kind of medicinal material.

However, Meng Liang still brought the parsnip with him, with Li Hanning's understanding of him, if he encountered an epidemic when he was in Chang'an, he would probably carefully study the method of cracking it, and whether this small blind parsnip would be a medicinal material for treating the epidemic.

But after all, it is also poisonous, now that Meng Liang is dead, the only person who knows about this matter is no longer there, Li Hanning only simply knows some medicinal materials, and does not understand the pharmacology, so he has to put away the medicinal materials first.

Li Hanning took the hot water, entered Xiao Ce's room, and patiently handed over the tea.

"Your Highness, drink some water."

Li Hanning picked up Xiao Ce, who looked a little weak, and asked him to sit on the bed with his back against the pillow before handing over the teacup in his hand.

Xiao Ce took a sip of tea, he had never drunk such a sip of hot tea even when he was thirsty these nights, and now when he was down, he realized that drinking tea was a luxury.

Li Hanning quickly put the teacup for Xiao Ce, his eyes fell on Li Hanning's body, and then he noticed that she seemed to have changed her clothes, and Li Hanning had been gone for a long time just now.

Xiao Ce asked, "You went to the backyard just now, did you see Meng Liang?" Did he rest? ”

Speaking of which, Xiao Ce hadn't seen Meng Liang for several days, and now that the epidemic in Chang'an City was so serious, Xiao Ce also knew that he was reading medical books and studying medicinal materials.

It's just that Li Hanning heard Meng Liang's name and obviously made a move when he returned the teacup.

Li Hanning replied quietly: "I didn't meet him when I went to the room, he may have rested today." ”

Xiao Ce looked at her and reacted a little abnormally, knowing that what she said just now was not the truth, but he didn't quite understand, why did Li Hanning lie about this matter?

Could it be—

Xiao Ce opened his mouth and said, "Han Ning." ”

"You said you wouldn't lie to me before, I wonder what you said to me before counts?"

Li Hanning turned around when he heard this, looked at the person on the soft collapse, the two of them looked at each other, Li Hanning was silent for a moment and then said:

"Nature counts."

Her promise to Xiao Ce always counts.

Thinking of everything that happened just now, Li Hanning understood that although he was not easy to speak, Xiao Ce would know about this matter sooner or later, so Li Hanning paused and replied truthfully to Xiao Ce:

"Meng Liang, he's gone."

Xiao Ce frowned: "Why? ”

Li Hanning said: "When I went to Meng Liang's room, the window was open, the door was also wide open, and the room was full of dried bloodstains.

Li Hanning remembered the boiled human head he saw when he lifted the lid of the pot, remembered Meng Liang's high-spirited appearance when she said goodbye to Meng Liang just a month ago, and knew that before he died, he was still studying the solution to the epidemic and wanted to save those who killed him.

So Li Hanning still didn't say any more about the following words, she really couldn't bear it:

"Your Highness, rest assured, I have avenged him, and now those who killed him are also dead, but I can't leave Chang'an City, so I can only burn his corpse, if he knows about it, he will forgive him."

Xiao Ce's face was very bad at the moment, he never doubted Li Hanning, and he also understood in his heart that the people of Chang'an City, who were making trouble a few days ago, walked to the gate of the city and were blocked back by the people of their Luoyang army, with countless casualties, naturally they had resentment in their hearts, and their Ming Wangfu was the best target for anger, but Xiao Ce didn't expect that those people would really hurt Meng Liang, he was just a doctor.

Xiao Ce, who knew what was going on, felt guilty, he shouldn't have let Meng Liang go back to Chang'an at that time, if he hadn't summoned Meng Liang back at that time, he wouldn't have caught up with the epidemic, and he wouldn't have stayed in Chang'an, so he wouldn't have encountered such a thing.

Xiao Ce only felt a surge in his intestines, and when he coughed again, there was a fishy sweetness between his lips and teeth, and Xiao Ce said guiltily:

"It's all because I didn't think about it, I hurt him."

But Li Hanning knew in his heart that it was not his fault, and Meng Liang would not blame him, if those people outside were not afraid of the epidemic and death, they would not have done such a ridiculous thing, but Li Hanning was also worried that if the epidemic was still spreading in the city and there was still no solution, those people were afraid that it would become more and more -

Li Hanning sat on the edge of the bed, looked at Xiao Ce, who was close at hand, and said:

"Your Highness doesn't have to take all the blame for this crime, the most important thing now is to find out why this epidemic came to Chang'an, we have just gone south, and the epidemic suddenly spread in Chang'an, I don't believe this is a coincidence, if we can find out why the epidemic has started again, maybe we can know how to treat it."

The last thing they have time for now is nostalgia and frustration.

Xiao Ce knew what she meant, and he would never let Meng Liang die in vain.

Li Hanning said again: "So the most important thing for Your Highness is to rest well and replenish your strength." ”

There are many more things they will face in Chang'an City next.

Li Hanning stretched out his hand and tucked the corner of the quilt for him: "I'll help His Highness lie down and rest." ”

It's getting late now, Xiao Ce is really weak with the epidemic again, Li Hanning always feels that it's not too late for them to talk about the rest tomorrow.

Here, Liu Ling also came to Luochuan quickly, galloping all the way, and drove through the streets, causing discussion on the side:

"I don't know where the little general came from, so many people on the street dare to ride horses?"

Liu Ling specially asked for directions, and galloped all the way to the front of Ichigo's house at the east gate of Luochuan, but when he was about to enter, he was stopped by the guards guarding the door:

"Who are you?"

Liu Ling really didn't have time to delay, and immediately took out the golden order in his arms:

"I am in General Li Hanning's camp, I have something urgent to see General Lu, don't stop me."

The two guards, you look at me, I look at you, one of them said to Liu Ling in front of him with some hesitation:

"It's a bit unfortunate that the little general is here, our General Lu is out."

Lu Changfeng went out at this time.

Liu Ling glanced at the courtyard from a distance through the gap between the two people, and then looked at the guard in front of him and asked:

"Did General Lu say when he would come back?"

"A few months at most, a week or two at the least."

So long?

Even if he can afford to wait, he can't afford to wait for the time being in southern Xinjiang.

How good is that?

Liu Ling immediately frowned and asked, "Where did he go?" ”

"It's not a secret, little general, after our general returned to Luochuan, there were often letters from people in Luoyang, saying that the general should return to Luoyang."

The guard on the side glared at him, and he didn't dare to continue at that time, but said a little perfunctorily:

"Our general said that even if he comes back, he won't see those people, and those people have come more frequently recently, so our general went out this time not only to travel the world, but also to avoid those people."

Someone from Luoyang.

It's probably His Royal Highness the Prince's person, is this trying to take advantage of the time when Lu Changfeng returned to Luochuan and spared no effort to recruit him?

Liu Ling can see this even if she is young.

Liu Ling glanced at the two seemingly sincere guards in front of him, and then glanced at the scene in the courtyard from a distance, he took the last two steps and looked up at the plaque of the Lu Mansion, then turned over on the horse without saying a word, and said on the horseback:

"When your General Lu comes back, please bring him a sentence for me, just say that there is an urgent matter in southern Xinjiang, which is related to my master and His Royal Highness King Ming."

Liu Ling knew that if Lu Changfeng heard these two sentences, he would definitely not ignore them.

"Little general, rest assured."

After the two guards had gone away:

"It's almost the same thing again, do you want to report it to the general?"

"I don't think it's necessary, let alone a general, I'm tired of it, there is a child here today, these people just change the law and want our general to go back to the army."

However, Liu Ling didn't go far here, he managed to go around to the back door of the Lu Mansion, there was no one to guard here, Liu Ling tied his horse to the tree from a distance, his master taught him how to observe words and looks, the two guards just now didn't look like they were telling the truth, Lu Changfeng was not in the mansion today, he had to see with his own eyes to have an answer.
