Late at night, Xi Yu lay in bed, his thoughts were surging, and he couldn't sleep.

He knew that the people around him were terrified of the plague, and he decided to do something to calm everyone's emotions.

He rolled over and got up, lit the oil lamp, wrote hard, and wrote a lot of propaganda materials, hoping to make everyone not afraid of the plague.

The next day, Guan Yu came to Xi Yu's residence, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw that Xi Yu's eyes were a little red, obviously he hadn't slept all night.

Guan Yu couldn't help but feel a sense of admiration in his heart, he knew that Xi Yu had paid a lot for everyone's safety.

After a while, the county commander Marin also hurried over.

He looked at Xi Yu with a look of shame, suddenly knelt down with a thud, and said: "Prime Minister, it must be that it is not good for an official to be an official, and he has offended God, so God will send this plague to punish me!" ”

Xi Yu hurriedly helped Ma Lin up and comforted: "Lord County Commander, don't blame yourself. This plague is not God's punishment for you, but a natural disaster. We should unite and respond to this catastrophe together. ”

Marin raised his head and looked at Xi Yu, his heart full of gratitude and guilt.

He secretly vowed that he must work harder for the people and live up to Xi Yu's expectations.

Xi Yu looked at Marin and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

He knew that Marin was a good official who cared about the people, but he blamed himself too much at the moment.

He believed that if everyone worked together, they would be able to defeat the plague.

Xi Yu said in a firm tone: "Lord Marin, it is urgent for you to send someone to distribute these propaganda materials to the surrounding people, so that they can understand the truth about the plague and dispel their fears. ”

Ma Lin nodded again and again, he secretly made up his mind that he must not live up to Xi Yu's trust and deliver these materials to the people as soon as possible.

At this moment, a servant hurriedly came and reported: "My lord, the mask has been produced!" ”

When Ma Lin heard this, he was overjoyed, and a boulder in his heart finally landed.

He immediately turned to the official and said, "Great! You immediately went out into the streets and distributed masks to the people. ”

The officials took the order, and Marin looked at their departing backs, his heart full of hope.

With these masks, he thought, people would be able to better protect themselves and reduce the risk of infection from the plague.

And the promotional materials of Xi Yu can also make everyone look at this disaster more rationally.

Xi Yu watched all this and felt a lot of emotion in his heart. He knew that everyone was doing their part in this battle against the plague.

He believed that as long as everyone united and worked together, we would be able to defeat the plague and usher in a bright future.

Guan Yu said to Xi Yu with concern: "Prime Minister, don't work too hard, go and rest quickly." ”

Xi Yu smiled and nodded, his eyes revealing a hint of exhaustion.

At this time, the sky was overcast, and the streets were empty and silent.

The officials held the handwritten propaganda materials of Xi Yu, and they couldn't help but feel a sense of respect in their hearts.

"Prime Minister Xi Yu really cares about the people, these thousands of materials are written by him one by one, and he has never faked others." A servant exclaimed.

Another official said, "Yes, he stayed up all night in order to make the people no longer afraid of the plague. We must deliver these papers to every house. ”

They walked along the empty streets, going door to door stuffing propaganda materials into the cracks of the doors.

"Even though there are basically no people on the streets, we also try to make this information available to everyone." The leading official said.

After a while, the people received propaganda paper stuffed in the cracks of the doors.

When they saw that the final payment was a joke, they couldn't help but talk in surprise.

"It turned out that the prime minister came here in person!" An old man said excitedly to his family.

"The prime minister actually wrote these for us personally, he must be concerned about the safety of our people." The family chimed in.

Everyone's hearts were full of admiration for Xiyu.

They carefully read the documents of the play, and every word touched their hearts deeply.

"Prime Minister Xi is right, we can't be intimidated by the plague!"

A young man clenched his fists and said enthusiastically.

"Yes, as long as we are united, we will be able to defeat this plague!"

At this point, the fear in their hearts was gradually replaced by courage and faith.

The plague, which was once terrifying, seems to have become less fearsome.

A mother looked at the documents in her hand and thought to herself: "The prime minister cares about us so much, I must protect myself and my family, and I believe that we will be able to get through this difficult time." ”

A look of determination gradually appeared on the faces of the people.

They decided to follow Xi Yu's instructions and fight the plague together.

In Jia Xu's shop, he was busy working.

Suddenly, Jia Xu felt a burst of heat in his body, and his forehead began to sweat.

He frowned, thinking to himself, "Oops, why is my body like this all of a sudden?" Looks like I'm going to have to see Lang Zhong. ”

So, he walked up to the shopkeeper and said softly, "Proprietor, I'm a little unwell and want to ask for leave to see Langzhong." ”

When the shopkeeper heard this, his face suddenly sank, and he said angrily: "You want to be lazy, right? At this time, if you take leave, who will do the work in the store? ”

Jia Xu was aggrieved in his heart, and he defended: "Boss, I'm really uncomfortable, I didn't mean to be lazy." ”

The boss didn't give up, and scolded a few more words: "Can't you just hold on?" It's really unreasonable to ask for leave for a minor illness! ”

Jia Xu looked at the boss helplessly, feeling a little sad in his heart.

He sighed to himself: "Alas, why doesn't he believe me? I'm really unwell. ”

Although he was dissatisfied, Jia Xu didn't dare to say anything.

After a while, the other party looked at him really uncomfortable, so he let him leave.

Jia Xu came to the door of Langzhong with difficulty, and the heat of his body became more and more intense.

He felt the world spin around and almost fainted.

"This illness is really not at ......the right time," Jia Xu sighed helplessly in his heart.

Just as he was crumbling, the shopkeeper arrived in time and hurriedly carried him into Langzhong's house.

Lang Zhong saw Jia Xu's condition, hurriedly took his pulse, and then began to decoction.

Night fell quietly, and Jia Xu still did not return to the store.

The shopkeeper sat in the shop, his face was gloomy and terrifying, and he scolded angrily in his heart: "This Jia San, he must be deliberately pretending to be sick and lazy!" I knew he wasn't reliable! ”

The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, and he couldn't help but scold again.

"Humph! When he comes back, I must teach him a good lesson! ”

However, there is also a trace of worry in the owner's heart: "Nothing really will happen......

After scolding for a while, the shopkeeper thought in his heart: "Even if something happens to Jia Xuzhen, it has nothing to do with me, and I have no obligation to take care of him." ”

Thinking of this, the shopkeeper's face softened slightly.

However, after a while, the shopkeeper suddenly felt that his body began to heat up as well, and the mixing was particularly uncomfortable.

"Am I sick too?" The shopkeeper was shocked, "Impossible, I've always been fine, how could this suddenly happen?" ”

He cheered up and said to himself, "It must be that I'm too tired, just take a break." ”

However, the physical discomfort became more and more intense.

The shopkeeper endured his physical discomfort and came to the pharmacy where Jia Xu looked at Langzhong.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw Jia Xu lying on the hospital bed, and a wave of anger suddenly surged in his heart.

"Okay, so you're here! You must have passed it on to me! The shopkeeper scolded angrily.

Lang Zhong looked at the shopkeeper, frowned, and said, "This guest officer, don't get excited yet. He did come first, but it is not yet certain that he is the source of the infection. ”

Where can the shopkeeper listen, he pointed at Jia Xu and continued to scold: "It's him!" I think he's a scourge, and I'm sick! ”

At this time, the owner's heart was filled with resentment and anger.

He thought to himself, why was he so unlucky, and he was affected by Jia Xu.

And Jia Xu was lying on the bed and said weakly: "Shopkeeper, I don't want to ...... either"

Lang Zhong interrupted their quarrel and said, "Don't quarrel with you, the most important thing now is to heal." I will do my best to treat you. ”

Although the shopkeeper was still indignant in his heart, he also knew that it would be useless to quarrel now.

He sighed to himself: "Alas, what bad luck! I hope I get better soon, but don't be dragged down by this disease. ”

At dusk, Xi Yu woke up from bed.

He rubbed his sleepy eyes, and thought to himself, "I slept until dusk." I don't know what's going on outside. ”

So, he summoned his subordinates and asked him to find Marin and ask about the progress of the matter.

After a while, Marin hurried over.

Xi Yu hurriedly asked, "What's the situation now?" ”

Marin replied, "Prime Minister, don't worry. After receiving the propaganda, the people's mood has calmed down a lot. Moreover, many Langzhong gathered together to study medicinal herbs, and everyone was trying to find a way to fight the plague. ”

After listening to Xi Yu, a big stone in his heart finally landed.

He breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good, as long as the people can rest assured, I will also be relieved." These Langzhong are also very dedicated, hoping that they can find a cure for the plague as soon as possible. ”

Marin nodded and replied, "My lord, you can rest assured." With these Lang Zhong, I believe that the plague will be controlled. ”

Xi Yu nodded slightly, and secretly rejoiced in his heart: "Fortunately, this publicity has played a role, and my hard work has not been in vain." ”

After listening to Ma Lin's report, Xi Yu not only breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, but also secretly thought to himself: "Fortunately, the country is unified and the situation is stable, otherwise in this turbulent time, foreign enemies will definitely take advantage of the opportunity." ”

A sense of happiness welled up in his heart, thinking that if the Central Plains was still divided and the forces in various places were constantly strife, then the foreign enemy would find an opportunity to take advantage of the chaotic situation in the country to invade.

The next day, Xi Yu kept an eye on the news of the people in the city, and his mood became heavier and heavier.

He learned that the number of sick people was increasing, and many of them were also sick, and medical resources were seriously insufficient.

"How is this a good ......" Xi Yu frowned, and was secretly anxious in his heart, "Lang Zhong is all sick, and there are so many patients, what should I do!" ”

At this time, Song Shuwen also entered the city.

also came to Xi Yu.

Xi Yu hurriedly said: "Doctor Song, you are here!" Now that you know the situation, let's get into the process of healing. ”

Song Shuwen nodded in response: "I understand, I will do my best." ”

However, Xi Yu knew in his heart that one more Song Shuwen would not be able to fundamentally solve the problem. He sighed to himself: "Alas, this situation is too difficult. Although Song Shuwen's medical skills are high, it is only a drop in the bucket in the face of so many patients. ”

After a while, Marin came to report the news, which surprised Xi Yu.

When Xi Yu heard Ma Lin's report, his face changed suddenly, and he asked eagerly, "There is also a plague in Qingzhou?" What's going on? ”

Marin replied with a solemn expression, "Yes, my lord." It was told by a person who came back from Qingzhou. Although the man was blocked from entering the city, he still sent the news back. ”

Xi Yu was surprised in his heart, and muttered to himself: "How can this be? There was also a plague in another place......"

He only felt a wave of anxiety rush over him, and his head felt as if it was about to explode.

He frowned, and thought to himself: "This plague is so menacing, if it can't be controlled in time, the consequences will be unimaginable!" ”

Xi Yu's heart became heavier, he knew that he was shouldering the heavy responsibility of saving the people, but in the face of this spreading plague, he felt a little helpless.

Xi Yu waved his hand to let Ma Lin retreat, and then said to Guan Yu with a solemn expression: "Guan Yu, there is also a plague in Qingzhou, and the situation is not optimistic." ”

There was a hint of worry in his voice.

When Guan Yu heard this, his brows furrowed slightly, and he asked, "My lord, this matter is not trivial. Do you want me to analyze whether there is anything wrong with this? ”

Xi Yu nodded, his face full of worry: "I'm a little uneasy in my heart, do you think it could be that people outside the Central Plains want to destroy our Central Plains, so they poison it?" ”

Guan Yu thought for a moment and replied frankly: "My lord, I don't know much at the moment. However, your guess is not out of the question. ”

After hearing this, Xi Yu couldn't help but sigh: "If this is the case, then isn't the people of the Central Plains in danger?" His heart was filled with helplessness and worry.

Guan Yu hurriedly comforted: "Don't worry too much, my lord, our top priority is to find a way to control the spread of the plague and protect the safety of the people." ”

Xi Yu nodded slightly, and secretly prayed in his heart: "I hope we can get through this difficulty." ”

In Fang Jun's palace, Liu Bei sat quietly in front of the desk, looking intently at the books in his hand.

Suddenly, a small eunuch cautiously walked in and respectfully handed over a letter.

"My lord, there is a letter at the gate of the palace. The messenger was a masked man, and he had been instructed to open it himself. The little eunuch bowed his head and said.

Liu Bei frowned slightly, and a trace of doubt surged in his heart: "Masked man? Why did you send this letter to me? He took the letter and looked at it closely, but found nothing out of the ordinary.

Liu Bei turned his head and instructed a few subordinates beside him: "You take it and check it to see if this letter is poisonous." ”

Several subordinates agreed in unison, carefully took the letter, and began to examine it carefully.

Liu Bei's heart couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive, and he secretly thought to himself: "Who is this masked man?" What is the purpose of sending me a letter? Friend or foe? ”

After a while, several subordinates reported: "Your Majesty, the letter is nothing unusual, not poisonous." ”

Liu Bei nodded, slightly relieved.

He looked at the envelope in his hand, hesitated, and finally opened it.

Liu Bei opened the letter, his eyes swept over the information on it, and he couldn't help but be taken aback.

A wave of consternation and confusion welled up in his heart, and he muttered to himself, "What the hell is going on? ”

didn't have time to think about it, Liu Bei quickly got up and hurried out of the palace.

His steps seemed a little urgent, and he thought to himself, "What does the instructions in the letter mean?" Why did you want me to come to this cave? ”

When he followed the letter's instructions to the cave, the first thing he saw was a statue.

Liu Bei's eyes stared at the statue, his heart full of curiosity.

At that moment, a man stepped out from behind the statue.

Liu Bei looked at him vigilantly and asked, "Who are you?" Why did you bring me here? ”

The man smiled and replied, "I am the one who has been waiting for you here for a long time." ”

There was an air of mystery in his voice.

Liu Bei's brows furrowed slightly, and he secretly speculated about the man's identity and purpose in his heart. He calmly asked, "What is your purpose in bringing me here?" ”

The man whispered, "I have something important to tell you. This matter is related to the safety of the people in the world. ”

Liu Bei's heart was shocked, and he felt more and more that the man in front of him was mysterious, but he also realized the importance of the matter.

It turned out that the content of the letter was actually a family tree.

At that time, Liu Bei stared at the family tree in his hand, and his heart swelled with surprise.

The other party asked himself to come over.

At this time, the other party recited the family tree again and said: "According to the generation, I should call you brother, and my name is Liu Maohai." ”

Liu Bei looked at Liu Maohai and asked suspiciously, "What do you want to discuss with me?" ”

There was a hint of wariness in his voice.

A hint of firmness flashed in Liu Maohai's eyes, and he replied, "Brother, I have been looking for you for a long time. We are all royal blood, and now that the situation is turbulent, I have come to discuss important matters with you. ”

He continued to ask quietly: "Then what is the content of the big thing you are talking about?" ”

Liu Maohai thought to himself in his heart: "Liu Bei, he must have understood what I meant, but he is pretending to be confused here!" This guy is really cunning! ”

There was a hint of displeasure in his eyes, and he was very dissatisfied with Liu Bei's approach.

Liu Maohai frowned tightly, and sighed secretly in his heart: "Looking at Liu Bei's appearance, could it be that he wants to deliberately hide something?" Hmph, I need to be more wary. A sense of vigilance welled up in his heart.

Liu Bei asked again suspiciously, "What's the big deal?" His eyes were filled with curiosity and eagerness.

Liu Maohai looked at Liu Bei and secretly thought in his heart: "Since you are willing to come to see me, it proves that you have guessed what I mean." There was a hint of confidence in his tone.

Then, Liu Maohai said in a deep voice: "Now there is a plague somewhere in Youzhou and somewhere in Qingzhou. ”

When Liu Bei heard this, he was shocked.

There is such a thing.

But what does the other party do when he tells himself this? (End of chapter)
