Taihao was thinking seriously in the room, what should he do in order to complete the task assigned by the emperor. After a long time, Taihao called Daxi, took two pots of wine and prepared to go to the palace of the general of the city guard, the people in Pinghe City did not know where the residence of the general of the city was located, the people on the street all covered their mouths and noses with white scarves, Onishi asked the two people, and knew the residence of the general of the city, and walked in the direction of the general's mansion. After walking for about half an hour, they arrived at the official residence of the general who defended the city.

I saw the plaque of "General's Mansion" hanging above the vermilion lacquer gate, and on both sides of the gate, there were two majestic stone lions. Perhaps because of the plague in the city, the gate of the general's palace was closed, and after Onishi stepped forward and knocked on the door, he saw a family member open the door. When the man saw that there were two unfamiliar faces, he asked them, "Who are you looking for?" ”

Tai Hao said: "Below, Tai Hao, the deputy general who has just arrived in Pinghe City, specially came to visit General Da Shunqu, the general who defends the city. ”

The gatekeeper said, "Are you the new lieutenant general guarding the city?" Then please wait outside the door for a while, and I will first say goodbye to General Da Shunqu. ”

After a short time, the family came back and led Taihao and Onishi to the general's mansion. The General's Mansion is a four-entry courtyard, progressing layer by layer, changing the scenery step by step, and everyone's bearing is fully revealed. There is a pond in the house, like a crescent moon that surrounds half of the mansion. In the courtyard, there are bamboo and green pines, and the trees are lush. The man led them to a side hall, where they heard "ahem...... Ahem...... "Taihao suddenly thought: "When I was in the capital, the emperor once told me that the general who defended the city, Da Shunqu, was suffering from tuberculosis, so the cough should be General Da Shunqu." Tai Hao entered the hall, and the family asked him to sit on a row of screens, but he couldn't see the true face of Da Shunqu.

I only heard Da Shunqu behind the screen, coughing and saying, "Ahem...... Ahem...... I didn't expect ...... Ahem...... Lord Taehao has just taken office...... Just come to see me, ahem...... The old man was very ...... Touched ......"

Tai Hao saw that through the screen, this Da Shunqu didn't plan to meet him. But Tai Hao still said respectfully: "Tai Hao met General Da Shunqu and came to Pinghe City for the first time to take office, of course, I have to visit General Da Shunqu first." General Da Shunqu, why do you want to talk behind the screen, can you meet the juniors? ”

Da Shunqu said intermittently: "The old man's illness ...... Ahem...... Yes...... Ahem...... It's infectious, Lord Taihao cough cough...... Come and see the old man, cough cough ......, the old man will ...... Ahem...... I was very moved, where do you dare to cough cough...... Meet, in case...... Ahem...... The infection was transmitted to ...... Ahem...... Lord Taihao...... Ahem......"

At this point, he coughed and gasped. When Taihao saw this scene, he was shocked, and hurriedly said: "Taihao's life is big, and he can't infect me, General Da Shunqu coughs badly, and he is tired of talking, so try to talk as little as possible, I don't know if General Da Shunqu has ever asked a divine doctor to treat your disease?" ”

The family next to him shook his head and said, "Langzhong has been invited for a hundred miles, but nothing can be done." ”

Taihao said: "Are you taking medicine now?" ”

The Ding Dao continued to reply: "The general has to drink medicine three times a day, but it is ineffective. ”

Hearing this, Tai Hao remembered the Tian Maung Divine Doctor he met on Niangniang Beach, so he said: "I also know a divine doctor in Xiapour, I think he should be able to treat General Da Shunqu's disease, and when I have the opportunity, I will definitely ask that divine doctor to help General Da Shunqu for a good prescription." ”

When the Nading family heard Taihao say this, they were overjoyed and hurriedly said: "Then I will thank Master Taihao for General Da Shunqu first." ”

Taihao and Da Shunqu chatted a few more words, but Da Shunqu still coughed badly, so Taihao said goodbye and left. When I walked into the courtyard, I saw that there were many plum trees in the courtyard of the General's Mansion, and the plum blossoms had bloomed. Suddenly, a woman came out of the plum blossom bush, very delicate and lovely. I saw that the woman was dressed in a purple gauze robe, with her hair combed in a bun, and her face was veiled. There is a hosta on the head, which looks very delicate and beautiful. Her big green eyes, full of good spirits, Taihao suddenly admired her.

The woman and Taihao looked at each other and smiled, and walked away. Tai Hao left the general's mansion and asked the family who saw him off about the identity of the woman just now. The family told him: "That's the granddaughter of General Da Shunqu, Qianzhi." ”

There is a kind of first sight, called love at first sight, which is a kind of affection and hatred of seeing each other. After Tai Hao and Onishi returned to the Deputy General's Mansion, they remembered the Coriander Zhi they had just seen in General Da Shunqu's mansion in the room. When Tai Hao and Coriander stood opposite, he and Coriander looked at each other, and instantly burst out with a warm feeling like a fire tree and silver flowers. But he knew that he had to control this feeling, and what he really liked in his heart was Nian Yu. Although the beauty of Nian Yu and the beauty of Coriander are different, no matter how beautiful Coriander is, it can't stand up to Nian Yu's position in his heart.

At noon the next day, a servant came to Taihao's mansion and said to Taihao: "The city lord set up a banquet for Lord Taihao in Julongzhai to catch the wind and wash the dust. ”

At that moment, Taihao called Daxi to follow the official to Julongzhai. Julongzhai is the largest restaurant in Pinghe City, and it is also a place where officials in Pinghe City often go to banquets. After Taihao and Daxi arrived at Julongzhai, they found that all the people in the restaurant also covered their mouths and noses with face towels, and when they drank, they had to lift the white cloth. Onishi said: "It seems that the plague here is really serious, and you have to cover your mouth and nose with a face towel even when you come out to drink." "The city lord of Yao Fuji prepared a whole table of wine and food on the second floor, and when they arrived on the second floor, they saw that in addition to the city lord of Yao Fuji, there was also Lord Bi Luojing. Bi Luojing saw Taihao coming, and hurriedly got up and stepped forward to greet him. There are also a few orchids performing in the restaurant, and there is a poem that describes the scene: the orchid spring hotel, the string orchestra is in the night. The red carpet spreads the crescent moon, and the mink sits on the thin frost. The first carp on the jade plate, Jin Ding is cooking sheep. The guest has no work, and listens to the song "Le Shi".

From time to time, the beautiful voices of the girls and the melodious sound of the pipa sounded very good. Under Bi Luojing's arrangement, Taihao and Onishi sat on the left and right sides of Yao Fuji respectively. They enjoyed the singing and dancing for a while, and Fudge asked the orchids to retreat. They began to push the cups and change the lamps, and Yao Fuji said to Taihao: "Our Pinghe City is a small city, not as good as Thousand Winds City, and recently encountered a plague, so we can only eat a little, but Lord Taihao, don't worry, the dishes on our table have been examined by the doctor, and you will not be infected with the plague if you eat it." ”

Tai Hao said: "Thank you to the city lord for setting up a banquet for us, it's really a waste, according to the current situation in Pinghe City, I don't know if the city lord has any better countermeasures to control the spread of the plague?" ”

Yao Fuji said: "I have tried many methods but they have no effect, and now I can only cut off the source." ”

Tai Hao asked curiously, "Then may I ask the city lord, how to cut off the source?" ”

Bi Luojing, who was sitting at the table, said: "Now we can only find one common man who has the plague, and we must kill one!" In this way, the source is cut off. ”

Tai Hao was shocked: "Isn't that very cruel." ”

Bi Luojing said: "If you don't do this, I'm afraid that the people in Pinghe City will be infected with the plague." Now, there are still many people in the city who are infected with the plague, but they are afraid of being killed, so they hide in their own homes, and the children are infected with the plague, and his grandfather and aunt hide them in their homes, and they are infected by his children. Some of his grandpa and aunt were infected with the plague, but they were hidden at home by their children, so we couldn't control it. Now there is only a house-to-house search, and those who suffer from the plague are summarily executed. ”

Tai Hao said: "I think just killing can't be killed, and it can't solve the problem of the spread of the plague." ”

Yao Fuji asked Tai Hao, "Lord Tai Hao is from the capital, is there any way to control it?" ”

Tai Hao said: "Although I have no way to control the spread of the plague, I feel that the way to control the plague is to find a medicine to treat the plague. ”

Bi Luojing said: "We have all used Lord Taihao's methods, but when we heard that it was to treat the plague, countless divine doctors were at a loss. Moreover, there is still a source of disease in the city, and I don't dare to touch him for the time being, if I kill him, I think the plague in Pinghe City will be controlled to a great extent. ”

Hao asked, "I don't know what Lord Bi Luojing is talking about......"

Bi Luojing replied: "It's the current general who defends the city. ”

Yao Fuji said: "General Da Shunqu has done a lot of good things for Pinghe City, I told you a long time ago, don't kill him, let General Da Shunqu ask for more blessings." ”

Bi Luojing said: "But...... He doesn't know how many people he will infect while he lives. ”

Tai Hao said: "As far as I know, General Da Shunqu is not suffering from plague, but tuberculosis. "Of course, Taihao won't tell them that he has already gone to see General Da Shunqu.

Bi Luojing said: "They are all contagious diseases, and all plagues and tuberculosis are the same!" ”

Tai Hao was speechless for a while, and Yao Fuji said: "I have already said that General Da Shunqu must not be killed, if he is killed, the people of Pinghe City will definitely cause a riot, and then it will be troublesome." After the few of them toasted together, Yao Fuji continued: "Now that General Da Shunqu is seriously ill, the military affairs and government affairs in the city are all on the three of us, I hope there will not be too many differences, and there are things to discuss together." Right now, controlling the spread of the plague is a top priority, and I have already sent soldiers to send the letter to Thousand Winds City, and I will get the results in three more days, and see how the emperor arranges." In addition, General Da Shunqu has handed over to me the official document of returning to his hometown, and after the election of a new general defending the city, General Da Shunqu will no longer be the general defending the city. Therefore, the election of the general defending the city will be the second most important event in Pinghe City, and now that Lord Taihao is here, the position of the general defending the city will also be elected by the people of Pinghe City among the two of you. ”
