Ji Changye looked at Song Qian's happy face, and couldn't help but hook the corners of his lips, and echoed, "Yes, in this way, we can also go back openly." And maybe the previous things can be written off, and the emperor will not be allowed to care about it anymore, and the credit will be overcome.

At this moment, Yuan Ruici and Yan Lai came with the people in the county town and said, "Thank you to the prince, the princess and the Nine Emperor Princes, otherwise we really don't know what to do next, and we may all die in that drought." But now that the prince, the princess, and the Nine Emperor Princes have helped solve this big problem, they have given us a way to live." Then they knelt down and prostrated together.

He Yu Jin and Changfeng walked out of the tent where they were stationed, and when they saw such a big battle, He Yu Jin not only said, "Sure enough, you still have to do more good deeds, otherwise you won't be able to win the hearts of the people."

Just like what Ji Qirui did, he would ignore his subjects and discard them as a burden, isn't he afraid of their chills? This also shows that if he does not have the identity of the eldest son, he is far from worthy of the position of the crown prince.

Changfeng nodded silently in agreement.

At this time, Ji Qimu came out, and He Yujin hurriedly stepped forward and pulled him in front of him and said, "Brother Jiu, in this way, Your Majesty will definitely not care about the past, let you go back to the imperial capital, and you don't have to be exiled anymore." Although the truth at that time has not yet been discovered, it seems that it is not so important anymore.

"It's not that easy." Although Ji Qirui's expression was indifferent, he saw disappointment and worry in his eyes, after all, the original incident had made the emperor estranged from him, and even if he went back this time, it would be difficult to get his full trust, which was like a heavy stone pressing on his body, a knot that could not be untied in his life.

After all, if there is no trust, he will still stay in the court, be used by others, and finally become a handful of loess scattered in the world. He can't stand such a reluctant life. So it's worse than killing him,

Seeing his strange appearance, he glanced at Yu Jin and Changfeng, and decided to open his mouth to comfort him, "Brother Jiu, no matter what, we believe that you are innocent. Otherwise, we wouldn't have gone through all the trouble of coming to see you, would we?"

Listening to his words, Ji Qimu's expression softened a lot.

At the same time, Song Qian and Ji Changye hurriedly beckoned the people and officials who were kneeling on the ground to get up, they just did what they had to do. It is really unacceptable to usher in such a big gift.

Zuo Huarong bowed gratefully and said, "Thanks to the princess and the prince, otherwise I wouldn't know what to do." ap.

"To put it mildly, it is what we should do to let the people live a good life. Even if we don't have a return, we will do it resolutely, so it is not worth mentioning." Song Qian said comfortingly.

Ji Changye also nodded in agreement.

Just when everyone was happy that there was water at last, someone suddenly came to report that a man infected with the plague had been found.

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked and retreated, for fear that the person who came would be a person contaminated with the plague and infect themselves again.

"How can a plague arise for no apparent reason?" He Yujin exclaimed, and the look on his face was full of disbelief. After all, this kind of thing is no joke, and if it does, it will be over.

"The little one doesn't dare to panic, if the prince doesn't believe it, the little one will attract the prince to check whether it's true or not." This person's face was determined, and besides, this kind of thing can't be joked about, so Song Qian and the others quickly believed that they followed him to the place where the plague appeared, which was in the east of the county seat.

Looking at the few people who fell to the ground, Ji Changye was about to step forward when he was stopped by Song Qian: "If it is really a plague, if you approach it rashly this time, you will definitely get it, so put this on quickly." After that, she took out a face towel and handed it to Ji Changye, which she originally used to prevent sand, but she didn't expect it to work here.

The rest of the people also found face towels to do so.

"How can a plague suddenly appear for no apparent reason? Who was the first to get infected?" Song Qian asked the person who had just come to report.

The man thought for a moment and then replied, "It's a child." So saying, he led them to a house, and on the bed of the ruined wealth lay a child who was already dying.

Yan Lai stepped forward and looked at him and said

"How can this child not be seen in the county? Whose child is it?" This county town is not big, and he often patrols the county, and every household is more or less familiar, and the children who can look at it are really not remembered.

"Could it be that it's from another county?" He Yujin suddenly spoke.

Since it is not from this county, it still suddenly appeared, except that it came from another county, there is nothing to explain.

"But there is no plague in the nearby village, it can't be from afar, right?" Yan Lai said strangely.

At this time, there was a sudden noise outside, and Changfeng saw the situation outside at the door, and hurriedly said to a few people inside, "I don't know why a few people infected with the plague outside are coming here, and the people below dare not stop them, what should I do?"

"Maybe it's just a place to rest." He Yujin said disapprerovingly, but when he opened the door to see the situation outside, he hurriedly closed the door and said to a few people inside, "Are they really infected with the plague? I look like I'm possessed by an evil spirit."

Hearing this, the people were even more curious about what was going on.

But at this moment, the wooden door that was not strong was broken, and thanks to Changfeng's quick hand, He Yujin was rescued from behind the fallen door.

Ji Changye escorted Song Qian and hurriedly retreated.

It turned out that it was the people who were infected with the plague who rushed in.

They were weak, their eyes bloodshot and they stumbled towards the people in the room.

Several people covered their mouths and noses to avoid them.

Ignoring that they were ordinary people, Changfeng drew his sword and swung it at them, so as to force them back for the time being.

took the opportunity for a few people to run outside, but Song Qian was suddenly grabbed by a hand on the hem of her skirt, she desperately broke free, but the other party was very strong, grabbed it tightly, and the pale hand was about to touch her, Ji Changye saw this and cut the hem of her clothes with a dagger to let her get out.

As the door slammed shut, the mad people were locked inside, perhaps without the strength to struggle, and soon there was no movement.

Ji Changye took off his cloak and put it on for Song Qian, covering the skin that had been torn out of his clothes, and asked worriedly, "Song Niangzi, you are not injured, are you?" Is there anything uncomfortable?"

"I'm fine, how can I make them go crazy?"

From the plague to the current attack, all kinds of things reveal endless weirdness, but none of them are talking about the strangeness of this matter.

Song Qian looked at Ji Changye and said what he thought, "Could it be that someone instructed us to contract us with the plague?" And such an end is death, if someone really directs this, this is his ultimate goal.

Ji Changye frowned, thinking about what Song Qian said, and felt that it made sense. For a moment, the name of one person flashed through the minds of both people. But under the tacit understanding, they didn't say it to each other.

Suddenly thinking of something, Song Qian hurriedly walked to Ji Qimu's side and said, "Nine Emperor Princes, quickly send someone to your county to see if anyone is infected with the plague. If not, let everyone be careful."

"Got it, you have to be careful here." After that, Ji Qimu rushed back with Yuan Ruici non-stop.

Song Qian turned to the others and said, "Everyone take off their clothes and burn them, let the nearby residents do the same, and then find a place for them to move out of here." The most important thing right now is to prevent the epidemic and not let the plague rage."

Yan Lai hurriedly did so when he heard this.

And a few people who had changed their clothes also helped evacuate the people nearby, and they were very busy.

And at this moment, a carriage came slowly from a distance.

He Yujin stopped his movements, looked at the figure who got off the carriage and said disdainfully, "I'm busy until this time, do you still need him?"

The person who came was Ji Qirui.

Ji Changye stepped forward and whispered to stop He Yujin: "No matter how you say it, it is also the prince, it was sent by His Majesty, you still have to be respectful in your words, otherwise the listener will have the heart, and when the time comes, it will be enough for you to accept it in front of Your Majesty." Even if he thinks that Ji Qiruide is unworthy and has no real skills, he can't be so presumptuous.

He Yujin reluctantly compromised and said, "I know

Isn't it okay if I don't go to see him?" If you really can't do it, you can't see it and don't bother it.

Knowing that he really didn't agree with Ji Qirui, Ji Changye didn't force him to do anything, so he let him go. But I still have to go, otherwise it will be too unruly.

After Ji Qirui stepped on the ground, he hurriedly asked Rong to hand over the face towel to wrap it tightly for him, and he didn't step forward anymore, just waiting for Ji Changye and them to come to him, after all, if they were too close, they were likely to be infected.

"His Royal Highness the Prince."

Ji Changye said respectfully.

But Ji Qirui didn't care about this, he just said to the busy crowd, "This prince has just returned from the imperial capital, and he heard that there is a plague here, so he is busy coming to see it, how is it now?" What did the prince say should be done with those people who were infected with the plague?"

"The plague does exist, but because it was detected in time, it has not spread very much, and people who have been in contact with and contracted the plague have been locked up, and if nothing else, it should not be transmitted again. As for how to deal with it, it is up to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to decide. However, the ministers suggested that they should do their best to heal, after all, they are not willing to be infected." Ji Changye's words had a deep meaning, Ji Qirui looked at each other for a moment and then turned his head away with a fake cough.

At this time, Song Qian came over, and Ji Qirui hurriedly retreated when she saw this, probably because she had just come into contact with someone infected with the plague from there.

Song Qian didn't care how disgusted and disgusted he was, after all, he also looked down on him in his heart, so he said, "Your Royal Highness the Prince, this sudden plague is really strange. The source turned out to be an unknown child, and several infected people actually went crazy and pounced on the prince and the grass people, etc., it is really difficult to figure out why. Do you want the grass people and the prince to be infected with the plague so much? Or is it a coincidence?"

"How does Prince Ben know? This prince has just returned from the imperial capital, and he hasn't asked you why this happened, but it really doesn't make sense for you to question this prince first. Do you still suspect that this plague is caused by Prince Ben?" Ji Qirui suddenly looked anxious, and said these words to Song Qian without showing weakness.

This made Song Qian even more determined what he thought in his heart.

After getting his own answer, Song Qian said: "The grass people were anxious for a while, worried about what to do about this matter, and inadvertently contradicted His Royal Highness the Prince, and hoped that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would not blame."

Since she had already said so, Ji Qirui couldn't pursue it endlessly, so she could only say, "This prince knows, so naturally he won't blame you."
