Chapter 289: The Epidemic Rises and the Evil Spirit
In late September, the beginning of winter, although it has reached the beginning of winter, but the weather can only be regarded as slightly cool, and there are high temperatures from time to time, as if the heat is still unwilling to leave.
And for Li Qian and many people, a long-estimated bad news has finally arrived.
There was no outbreak of the plague in Dengzhou City, or rather, it did not spread.
After Yi Shuyuan went to the old woman's house to see her son that day, the first thing he did when he returned was to report the situation to the Temporary Qincha Mansion, and then carry out a city-wide investigation as much as possible.
Therefore, the situation in Dengzhou City was brought under control before it got up, and even the old woman's son, in the absence of medicine, was "miraculously" improved and stabilized, and was able to slowly recover after the arrival of medicinal materials in the city.
This is a relatively complex process, and the number of qi in the catastrophe is uncertain, even Yi Shuyuan can't look at the overall situation.
And when Dengzhou City was relatively stable, a large-scale plague broke out in Baishi County, Zhaozhou!
Baishi County is located to the west of Zhaozhou, not far from Zhaozhou City, and close to the border of Dengzhou, but because of its high terrain, it is actually one of the few places that was less affected in the previous floods.
But for the same reason, a large number of victims gathered in Baishi County during the disaster, and many victims survived the flood, but after fleeing to Baishi County, people still died one after another, and there were many mass graves outside Baishi County.
In the early morning of the beginning of winter, the Baishi County Order, which had been commended several times as a model for disaster relief, finally sent an urgent letter.
After feeling guilty for half of the length of the letter, it finally explained the current situation, and also made Li Qian, who was reading the letter at that time, clench his fists and hang down on the table with a "bang", startling the guards on the side.
"Alas, this Sui Bangying!"
"My lord, what's wrong?"
Li Qian didn't care about eating breakfast, grabbed a steamed bun and stood up.
"There's a plague outbreak in Baishi County!"
The guards were also shocked, and hurriedly left following Li Qian's steps.
At this moment, not long after Jirentang opened, Yi Shuyuan and Cheng Luo had just gotten up, and the junior apprentice was cleaning the door of the medical hall with a broom.
A moment later, when the primary school apprentice who had finished cleaning had just straightened up, he saw Li Qian and his party hurrying over.
"Lord Li, it's early, you are."
Li Qian frowned and nodded, didn't speak, and looked at the two doctors when he entered the medical hall.
"There is a big epidemic in Baishi County!"
Yi Shuyuan and Cheng Luo glanced at each other, one frowning and the other stunned.
"Shiraishi County!"
"That's right, I sent a message to the surrounding cities and counties, mobilized doctors and medicinal herbs to Baishi County, the two gentlemen's previous handling in Dengzhou City was very effective, can there be a countermeasure this time?"
At this moment, the bad news has arrived, and the qi is clear, and Yi Shuyuan's hand hidden in his sleeve pinched his fingers slightly, and his heart was suddenly shocked.
"My lord, Zhaozhou City!"
Hearing only the three words "Zhaozhou City", Li Qian's heart jumped violently, and he couldn't help shouting.
"Oops!"
Because of the advantages of the topography, Baishi County gathered a large number of disaster victims, and like the former Datong County of Dengzhou, it was one of the key resettlement areas in the early stage.
And as the disaster situation stabilized, and as in the early days of Datong County, the victims began to evacuate, or return to their hometowns, or. Move towards Zhaozhou City, which is more convenient to accommodate the population!
Although Dengzhou has Li Qian personally in charge, although the disaster is the most serious, some of the work progress is also the fastest, many victims have been properly resettled, and many people have returned to their hometowns one after another, not piled up somewhere.
However, the situation in Zhaozhou is different, although the disaster relief work is also advancing, but it is obviously one step behind Dengzhou, as the place that accommodates the largest number of victims, more than 200,000 victims have gathered inside and outside Zhaozhou so far.
And the victims of Baishi County have also been flowing to Zhaozhou City before, and the victims of Zhaozhou have slowly returned to their hometowns with Zhaozhou City as the center, if the plague is brought over, the consequences are unimaginable!
"There are more than 200,000 people gathered inside and outside Zhaozhou City! Ahh
Li Qian was in a hurry for a while, covering his chest and revealing a painful look, and his body was unstable.
"Your Excellency!"
On one side, the two guards immediately supported Li Qian on the left and right, but fortunately, this was in Jiren Hall.
Yi Shuyuan and Cheng Luo reacted quickly.
"Quick, get to the recliner!"
As Li Qian got on the recliner, Yi Shuyuan massaged him to smooth the qi, and asked the guards to assist him with internal strength according to the acupuncture points he designated, which quickly made Li Qian better.
"Ho, ho"
Li Qian breathed heavily on the recliner, and the look in his eyes that looked at Yi Shuyuan was self-evident.
"Don't worry, Yi, I'm going to Zhaozhou, please make some more arrangements, Baishi County naturally can't be ignored, Zhaozhou City is the top priority!"
Li Qian breathed heavily and couldn't speak, but just arched his hand towards Yi Shuyuan, and only then did he add orders to others when he was angry.
"Prepare a horse for Mr. Yi and escort him to Zhaozhou!"
"Yes!"
Cheng Luo also hurriedly said on the side.
"Mr. Yi, I'll go too, right?"
"No, Mr. Cheng stayed in Dengzhou City just in case, and he also had to take care of Master Li, okay, don't say more, I'll clean it up!"
Yi Shuyuan began to pack the wooden box as he spoke, bringing some of the things he needed, but he could conjure them up even if he missed something.
——
In less than two quarters of an hour, Yi Shuyuan and one of Li Qian's guards rode out of Dengzhou City, and as soon as they arrived outside the city, the two immediately hurried to Zhaozhou.
When he walked to the bank of the Datong River, Yi Shuyuan looked at the course of the Datong River, and the current water level may not be one-third of what the Datong River once was.
Since that time when Hong Wei struggled to escape in the Datong River, the dragon clan and the gods competed, and the water level of the Datong River dried up, the river flow has not been restored.
Yi Shuyuan was naturally able to cast a spell and quickly go to Zhaozhou, but since Li Qian sent someone to escort him, he would not just play and disappear.
And just a few days ago, a warrior broke his arm and came to Jirentang to find Yi Shuyuan to help him reset his muscles and bones and reduce swelling and relieve pain.
Yi Shuyuan looked at the special officialdom revealed by the other party, and after a little calculation, he knew that his person must be a secret agent in the inner world, and eighty percent of his arm was deliberately twisted by himself.
Seeing Emperor Dayong's various efforts, and also seeing his beliefs, even Yi Shuyuan will be a little moved, this time he doesn't plan to disappear in front of the Son of Heaven, just tell the emperor, I am indeed helping you.
Of course, there is another advantage of riding a horse, in the case of Lingdong Qi number disorder, you can observe the situation along the way in more detail.
And it took two days to ride a horse, it doesn't mean that Yi Shuyuan needs two days to make a move, after all, he is a person in the Immortal Dao, not really just a mortal hermit.
——
The plague in Baishi County has become serious, so Baishi County ordered an urgent report.
And there is no special crisis situation in Zhaozhou City on the surface, but the epidemic has actually been brought to Zhaozhou City, but it has not yet broken out and is in a state of slow fermentation.
However, this does not mean that some special beings in recent times are not aware of it, just as the local ghosts and gods in Zhaozhou have vaguely felt something, and for example, the existence of some local cultivators.
Less than half an hour after Yi Shuyuan left Dengzhou City, outside Fenglin County, which was close to Zhaozhou City, an old man was hurrying.
The old man walked forward on his legs, but his speed was extremely fast, just like the Shenxing Taibao Wang Yunchun that Yi Shuyuan had seen at the beginning.
The old man is well-dressed, short hits, tube pants and leggings, and the top of his head is tied with a hair band and a silver hairpin at the same time, and he also carries a sword behind his back.
Now the land of Lingdong is in a big disaster, of course, it is not only the affairs of Lingdong people, in addition to the disaster relief of the imperial court, there is no shortage of people of insight from all over Dayong to help, there are doctors and warriors, and there are some businessmen with conscience.
And every time there is a catastrophe, there will be demons, which is also something that some warlocks know very well, and Qi Zhongbin is of course very clear.
As early as the moment when the news of the flood in Lingdong spread to Dayong, Qi Zhongbin had rushed to Lingdong from a distant place, and now he has been active here for half a month.
At this moment, Qi Zhongbin was about to go to Fenglin County, when suddenly, his nose moved slightly, and he smelled a trace of unusual breath, and then his eyes immediately became sharp, looking at the woodland outside the city.
There are demons!
At this moment, Qi Zhongbin jumped lightly, a little on a roadside boulder in front of him, and then his figure twisted in the air, turned with strength, and rushed to the direction in his perception.
In just a few breaths, Qi Zhongbin had already rushed into the forest, and the speed under his feet did not decrease at all, and the trees and vegetation could not affect his movements.
A woman appeared in front of her, and she saw Qi Zhongbin rushing towards her quickly, and her face showed a look of consternation.
And Qi Zhongbin's heart jumped, and he already understood the identity of the other party.
Today, Qi Zhongbin has a certain understanding of what kind of character his master is, and he has gradually discovered that some tricks and illusions are difficult to deceive his eyes.
If it's not transfiguration, then the woman in front of you is a transformation monster!
And this demon is surrounded by death, and it will be a lot of harm!
With my current cultivation, can I compete with the shape-shifting monsters?
Although he has not yet formed an immortal furnace, Qi Zhongbin has a lot of ability, and he has a clearer understanding of his own diligence than Shi Sheng.
When he was awarded the title of Heavenly Master, with the strength of the imperial court and many colleagues, he was still able to fight a battle of transformation monsters and punish him, so now he may not have the power to resist!
With his spiritual sense, Qi Zhongbin thought that even if he was defeated, he would not be unable to escape.
"Don't think about evil!"
"Zheng~~~"
The long sword behind Qi Zhongbin was unsheathed, and he reached out to catch the woman who was rushing directly towards the side with the sword.
The woman was carrying a small box in her hand, and when she saw Qi Zhongbin rushing over, she put away her stunned look, and her face showed a trace of disdain.
"Hmph, Warlock."
Seeing that sword stabbing at her, the woman easily avoided it, and slapped it towards Qi Zhongbin's side with one palm.
It seemed that the warlock's movements were slow in the woman's eyes.
It's just that at this moment, Qi Zhongbin's eyes narrowed slightly, and his body seemed to be slow, but his eyes always followed the woman's movements.
At this moment, Qi Zhongbin was in trouble, and the sword that stabbed straight suddenly turned into a horizontal slash, and the woman's body leaned back in shock, and with a gust of wind, she slid back three feet from the ground.
But Qi Zhongbin swung his sword and turned around, borrowing a little bit from the tree on one side, and a red mark appeared in the palm of his left hand, hitting the woman from top to bottom.
The woman greeted her with her palms, but at this moment, a sense of horror enveloped her whole body.
The palm of the warlock's hand actually bloomed with thunder at this moment.
Palm Thunder!
Qi Zhongbin silently recited the name.
"Bang~", the palms touched.
"Uhh
The woman screamed, and her whole body was knocked to the ground, rubbing the ground and sliding backwards.
Qi Zhongbin's confidence was greatly boosted, the demon underestimated the enemy, he had the intention to calculate and unintentionally hit one move, and immediately chased after him with his sword.
"Death—"
"Ask the mage to let me go, I didn't hurt anyone—"
Even if the woman's Taoism is now in great damage, she never thought that she might die at the hands of a warlock!
"Leave people under the sword~~~~~"
A familiar voice came from the sky, Qi Zhongbin stopped his figure at once, and while remaining vigilant, he couldn't help but look at the sky, this was the voice of the gray senior!
