"If you go back to your lordship, these victims are from Yongzhou......

Before he finished speaking, Qianhu was picked up by Xu Chong.

"Yongzhou?!"

Xu Chong's face was cold, and he asked, "When did the disaster happen?" Is the range geometric? ”

"Great, sir."

Qianhu was frightened by Xu Chong's appearance and strength, and stammered: "It's this, it's not under the care of the blood-clothed guard......"

"Damn it!"

Xu Chong put down Qianhu and walked away directly.

At the front of the line, the old and weak with withered faces kept kowtowing and begging.

"My lord, give me a stutter!"

"Please, gentlemen!"

“……”

The current lieutenant was furious.

He was reprimanded by his boss before, how long has it been, and he came again?

"Get out of the way!"

The lieutenant snorted coldly, raised the horsewhip in his hand, and waved it down fiercely.

However, before the whip could fall on the man, it was bounced away with a strong force.

Xu Chong appeared, and the strong wind led the people and horses all the way to the ground.

These people were just about to shout and scold, but the thousands of households who followed hurriedly stopped them.

Xu Hong didn't pay attention to it, but shouted to the victims: "I can give you food, but you have to answer me a few questions." ”

Swish.

The victims looked up at Xu Chong suddenly, their eyes full of longing and suspicion.

The thousand households flicked the whip very cooperatively, and said, "Answer the questions of the adults well, I guarantee that each of you will have something to eat!" ”

These people didn't know who was an official or who was a soldier, but they believed it when someone helped them, and they immediately opened their mouths one by one, assuring that they knew everything.

Xu Chongyi raised his hand and stopped everyone's commotion, "The first question, where do you come from?" ”

"We're all from Qingfeng County! Shidunzi Village, Qingfeng County! ”

A spirited young man was the first to speak, and immediately got a small packet of dry food.

Xu Chong's heart sank.

He remembered that Yongzhou Province was the same as Guanfu, and there was a Qingfeng County under its jurisdiction.

"The second question, when and what disaster occurred?"

As soon as this question came out, no one rushed to answer it in the first place.

They seemed to be reminded of some terrible memory by this question, and a look of horror appeared on their faces.

"Flying locusts in the sky......"

An old man swallowed his saliva and said with difficulty, "It started two months ago. ”

Locust plagues are mostly caused by drought, but they are not absolute.

If the winter is dry and warm, there is also the possibility of locust outbreaks in the coming year, usually earlier.

As for the scope, there is no need to ask, it is not difficult to affect a province.

"Mid-April ......"

Xu Chong thought for a moment and said solemnly: "You are not fleeing from locusts, not famine...... It's the plague, right? ”

As soon as these words came out, all the victims changed color in unison.

The locust plague has only been two months old, and from the perspective of 'survival', if it is only a matter of food, two months will never develop to the point of escaping the famine!

After all, locusts don't eat, and people can eat a lot of things.

If you really want to escape the famine, it should be two months away.

So the only possibility is that the epidemic has spread!

"Adults spare their lives, adults spare their lives!"

All the victims began to kowtow.

Daqing was extremely strict in the management of the plague, and the first was that it was not allowed to wander around.

Once the plague broke out, residents and passers-by within a radius of 100 miles had to stay in the local area honestly, dare to leave without permission, and burn at the stake on the spot.

This group of people, according to the law, one is counted as one, and all are capital offenses.

Xu Chong didn't speak, a force popped out, and it quickly circulated in everyone's body.

Fortunately, how much strength flew out, what was taken back was how much, and nothing was consumed.

Come to think of it, the chances of these people being able to travel so far or escape here are extremely low that they will be contaminated with the disease.

"Give them food and let them go."

Xu Chongyi waved his hand.

"Yes."

Qianhu didn't dare to talk much.

Soon, the food was distributed, and the victims were grateful to Dade and left in three steps.

"You guys go back, I'll go to Yongzhou, and then go to Beijing on my own."

Dropping these words, Xu Chong unfolded his speed and disappeared in an instant.

The blood-clothed guards looked at each other, and finally had no choice but to do so.

……

……

After entering the boundary of Yongzhou, Xu Chong slowed down slightly.

It can't be reached during the day, so it's better to wait for the night to wrap the body with the yin god and walk at night.

And since entering Yongzhou, it has gradually become desolate.

Scattered all over the mountains, patches of missing green.

Whether it is trees, vegetation, or crops, they are all full of holes and messes.

A hundred miles deeper, the desolation became more and more obvious.

Dead bodies began to appear.

Mountains, forests, fields, roadsides.

Dead body after corpse.

Occasionally, there are those who are terminally ill and still struggling to crawl.

Xu Chong just walked and watched with an expressionless face, and when he met someone who had hope of survival, he threw out a force casually.

That's all.

In the face of natural disasters, the power of one person is small.

Even if he is a Taoist, it is impossible for him to save everyone alone.

If you bump into it, you can help, which is already precious.

Fortunately, this situation, after entering Yongzhou for 300 miles, began to improve significantly.

Although it was also desolate, the number of dead bodies on the road was gradually decreasing.

"Someone is controlling the plague!"

Xu Chong came to a conclusion and quickened his pace.

In the evening, he caught up with an unkempt young man.

"Tell me, where are you going?"

Xu Chong appeared directly in front of him.

"Ahem, ahem, ahem......"

The young man kept coughing, and was obviously stunned when he saw Xu Chong.

He can still keep his clothes well-dressed, and he must be some kind of amazing character.

But the question is, shouldn't that kind of character be hiding at home?

Why come out?

Still walking out alone?

"Can you still talk?"

Xu Chong frowned.

"Yes, yes, cough cough cough ......"

The young man coughed, took a few steps back and distanced, "Don't come near me, I'll get sick, cough cough cough ......"

"I ask you, where are you going?"

Xu Chong asked again.

"Go, go to Fenggu County......"

The young man replied with a cough.

"Wind Drum County?"

Xu Chong's heart moved slightly, "Why do you want to go there?" ”

"Ahem, I heard that there is a Qingtian lord in Fenggu County, who gives us food and treats us."

The young man said, "This big man seems to have called Jiang something, and it spread half a month ago, and now all the people who can still move are going over there." ”

"Is it called Jiang Zhihong?"

"Jiang Zhihong...... That's right, that's what it seems to call it. ”

The young man thought for a moment and nodded.

After being confirmed, Xu Chong's heart was cold.

It seems that the imperial court can really predict natural disasters.

The fake Xie Changkong died, and Jiang Zhihong went to Fenggu County to become the county magistrate.

Then the plague of locusts came.

The only thing to be thankful for is that Canglong County is not far from Fenggu County, and it should have been rescued by Jiang Zhihong very early.

Bending his fingers to help the young man eliminate the epidemic, Xu Chong said: "If you can't find anything to eat, just eat locusts, which should allow you to go to Fenggu County." ”

"For the croppers, eating locusts will anger the heavens, and under normal circumstances, even if they starve to death, no one will eat locusts."

The young man smiled bitterly, "I ate it, so I angered the heavens and contracted a sick ......."

Before he could finish speaking, Xu Chong's figure suddenly disappeared.

This scared him so much that he thought he had seen a ghost, so he ran away.

I didn't run far enough and suddenly something didn't feel right.

"My ......"

The young man touched his forehead in disbelief, "It's not hot!" I'm cured! ”

Immediately, the young man knelt down and kowtowed again and again, thanking God for his kindness.

Xu Chong didn't know that he was being regarded as the embodiment of God.

At this time, he had found a secluded place, and the yin god traveled and wrapped his body.

After replenishing and recovering from the strength, the three Yin Gods had completely recovered to a height of ten zhang.

At this time, he rolled up his body and walked against the wind, except that his speed could not reach the night and travel thousands of miles, and he did not feel any difficulty.

While hurrying, Xu Chong paid attention to the situation below.

Eliminate the weak lives such as insects and beasts, and ignore them, and the rest is red.

"These people have not been treated by Jiang Lao, and they don't have enough food to feed their stomachs, so it is a disaster that overshadows a blessing, and they are in danger of death."

Xu Chong thought so.

However, when he flew to Fenggu County, what he saw from a distance was still a dazzling red halo.

"How can this be ......"

Xu Chong's heart tightened, and he controlled the Yin God to land outside the city, and then returned to his body.

At this time, outside the city wall of Fenggu County, simple scaffolds of various sizes have been erected, and at a glance, the area of Fenggu County is larger than the entire Fenggu County.

They were all victims who rushed to hear the news.

Xu Chong took a closer look, not only were there no epidemics in the bodies of these people, but they were even healthier than ordinary people.

Needless to say, there must be many people here who have not been infected with the epidemic at all, and they simply came to Fenggu County for Jiang Zhihong's name of 'miracle doctor'.

There will be no shortage of people who are cheap no matter where they are.

"Everyone saves, that old man, can you really resist?"

"Also...... There is no disease even outside the city, and it is even less likely to exist inside the city. ”

"What's going on with all that red light?"

Xu Chong frowned and walked quickly to the city gate.

"Stop!"

- Khooth!

A series of long knives were unsheathed, reflecting the flickering lights outside the city

"If you are newly arriving, the county seat is not allowed to enter, if you are in urgent need of treatment, wait here until three o'clock in the morning, and the county lord will come out to rescue."

A majestic middle-aged man shouted.

"It's me."

Xu Chong walked into the light.

"You...... Lord Xu?! ”

The leader at the city gate was none other than Zhao Liu.

At the moment of recognizing Xu Chong, Zhao Liu's eyes turned red suddenly, and he knelt down by pushing Jinshan down the jade pillar.

"My lord, Zhao Liu should be damned! Damn!! ”

Bang bang bang.

One after another, their heads slammed on the ground, and their cries were mixed with extremely suppressed guilt, self-blame, and grief.

"You know what I do."

Xu Chong said coldly, "Get up and speak." ”

"My lord, a lot of people have died, let's ...... A lot of people died. ”

Zhao Liu refused to get up, still kowtowing and whimpering, "Old Yang is dead, Old Han Xu is dead, and Lao Li's mother-in-law is also dead...... It's Zhao Liu who is useless, he can't protect everyone, Zhao Liu should be damned!! ”

Every time he heard a familiar name, Xu Chong's face became even colder.

After a long time, Xu Chongmu opened his mouth with a face.

"If you die, you die, and people always have to die."

"This is a natural disaster, not a man-made disaster."

"What are you crying about?"

"Do you want me to avenge them and reverse this day?"

The extremely cold tone made Zhao Liu look up in astonishment.

The red eyes were full of doubts.

In his impression, Xu Chong is definitely not such a heartless person.

On the contrary, Xu Chong is not only not affectionate, but even more affectionate than ordinary people.

It's just that it is usually deliberately covered up by Xu Chong, and those who are not close to it can't feel it.

In the past, what was used to cover up the importance of affection and righteousness was the kind of indifference of 'indifference'.

And now......
