Plague and famine raged, and the disaster finally spread from Wubei to Wunan. The people were panicked, and they had already begun to store grain and goods and prepare for the transfer. At the junction of Wubei and northern Xinjiang provinces, there is a city named Tianwen. This city was originally the border of two provinces, very prosperous, but now it is depressed, the caravans that used to be seen are now rare, and the originally lively streets are now only scattered stalls.

Rows of shops are empty, and the hustle and bustle of yesteryear is long gone. On the old façade, mottled wood carvings and red paint have quietly peeled off, revealing the pale walls inside. The withered yellow leaves at the top of the withered plane trees dance gracefully in the autumn breeze, adding a touch of desolation to the desolate city.

"Let one go, let one go." A convoy suddenly entered the city, and two teams of officers and soldiers with tall horses guarded the carriage in the middle. Passers-by avoided and hid far away, so as not to get into any trouble. Suddenly, however, an old blind man walked to the middle of the road, and the officer at the front of the procession pulled the horse, and the whole procession stopped.

"Old thing, you're looking for death!" The officer and soldier shouted.

"Yes . . . I'm sorry. The old blind man was frightened, although he could not see, but he could hear the sound of the horses, and this group of centaurs was definitely not to be provoked, and he hurried to the side, but he was mixed with his feet, and fell again.

"You..." The officer and soldier saw that he didn't give way for a long time, and he was obviously angry.

"Zhao Hu, what's going on?" A gentle voice came from the carriage.

"Back to the prince, an old man who couldn't see the road blocked the middle of the road, disturbing the car, and the lower official should be damned." The officer named Zhao Hu replied.

The curtain of the carriage was lifted, and a middle-aged man with an extraordinary and gentle attitude stepped out, wearing a golden robe, a golden crown on his head, and a folding fan in his hand.

He stepped out of the car and looked curiously at the street. The people on the street were far away, but they couldn't resist their curiosity and turned their eyes to it. The middle-aged man in brocade is the half-brother of His Majesty the Dynasty, the Jade King.

"Lord Wang, be careful of deception." Zhao Hu reminded.

"Don't worry, don't forget, I also have martial arts." The Jade King replied.

He walked up to the old man's side, helped the old man aside, and inquired, "Old man, I remember that the city was very prosperous before this day. What's going on like this now? ”

The old man replied in a trembling voice: "Back to this lord, they are all plagues that are about to spread, and those who can run have run away, and the rest are those of us who are old, weak, sick and disabled, or whose families are all here, and we can't run at all." ”

"I see, it seems that the situation is more serious than I thought." The Jade King helped the old man to the side of the road, and then returned to the car. "To contain this massive plague, the few people under my command are completely insufficient, and the administrative system of Wunan and Wubei is almost paralyzed. The immediate priority is to find sufficient manpower to restore the system of government decrees first. Continue to go north to Beijiang Province, for now only there can borrow people, and in the troubled times, only by using the strength of these armies can the government orders be carried out efficiently. ”

Just when the Jade King rushed to the north to prepare to borrow troops to suppress the disaster, a good show was also staged in the imperial capital.

A Taoist priest in a Taoist robe was guarding a furnace of elixir, and after a long time, the pill was completed. The fat man standing next to him immediately greeted him.

"National teacher, how's it going? Can this furnace be refined? The fat man asked excitedly.

"Back to Your Majesty, the lower officials have fulfilled their mission, and this furnace pill has been refined into a total of seven." The man dressed as a Taoist priest said.

"It's only seven, this cost me seven million taels, and an average pill costs one million, can you live forever if you eat them?" The Emperor of Universiade asked.

The old Taoist priest shook his head, "Where is it so easy to live forever, but longevity is certain." ”

His Majesty the Emperor took the pill and took the next one first, only to feel that the pill had turned into medicinal power in his body, moisturizing his internal organs, and his face showed a look of satisfaction, and the millions of taels of silver were really worth it.

"Your Majesty, I heard that there is a plague in Wunan Province? I heard that this plague is very bad, and it has even spread to Wubei with the refugees who have fled? The old Taoist priest asked. Generally speaking, the plague spreads within a province at most, because the more severe the plague, the higher the fatality rate, the faster the patient will die, and it is not enough to spread widely. That's not a good thing.

"Don't say it, because of this relationship, I also kindly reduced their taxes for a year. However, Wunan and Wubei are poor places, so they can't collect much money. There are a group of straw bales in the court, and they talk about everything on weekdays, but they can't do anything if they really solve the problem. I have left the matter of the plague to the imperial brother. The Great Luck Emperor said.

"Your Majesty, the Jade King's reputation is too prominent, I'm afraid it will be detrimental to Your Majesty. He already has a high reputation among the people, if he succeeds in solving this plague, I'm afraid it will be ......," the national teacher reminded, his eyes full of vigilance.

"National teacher, are you worried that he will rebel. You have to worry too much about this, my imperial brother doesn't have the courage, not to mention that he is afraid that there are only less than 2,000 guards under his command, and the Dragon and Tiger Battalion in the imperial capital of Gongwei has 100,000 people, which is led by my uncle. Even if he had the guts, he didn't have the strength. "Although the Emperor of Dayun is mediocre, he is not stupid, and he has put a lot of effort into his personal safety.

"Although he is not sick, Wubei is close to the northern frontier, and General Yue is guarding there at the moment, if they join forces?" The national teacher continued.

The emperor laughed, "The national teacher really likes to joke, not to mention that General Yue Feipeng's soldiers have to deal with the army of the northern Qingqiu country, Yue Feipeng, the national teacher, I am afraid that he doesn't know enough, this person is loyal and righteous, and he values commitment and reputation far more than his own life, in the past, he swore in front of the first emperor that he would protect the country for me." The first emperor once told me that General Feipeng is the Great Wall of Great Luck and the blade of imperial power, even if the whole world rebels, he will not rebel, you put ten thousand hearts. ”

"But—" The national teacher wanted to say something. Ay. He thought that Gonggong Cao, who was sent out by himself to investigate that incident, had no news, and Gonggong Cao was afraid that he would be more than lucky, but how many people in the world were his opponents?

"There's nothing to do, so let's send the people of the Shenlongwei to the northern frontier to monitor their movements. That's it. The emperor said that he controlled the Dragon and Tiger Camp and the Shenlong Guard, Yue Feipeng was loyal, and the ministers of the court also supported the emperor and obeyed the rules. Although he is mediocre, but it is only the people who suffer, he does not give less benefits to these officials, compared with those tyrants who abuse and kill officials at every turn, he is amiable. As for the common people? As long as there is a mouthful of food, he will not rebel, he has always understood very well, and even if it is really reversed, it is only those provinces, and he has the strength to suppress it. His country is very stable.

In the Northern Xinjiang General's Mansion, there are still only four people in the secret room: Yue Feipeng, Deputy General Li, Zhan Yue and Huang Xueqing.

"The Jade King sent a letter, the plague in Wunan has signs of spreading to Wubei, and if Wubei is lost, it will definitely affect the northern Xinjiang, and if the northern Xinjiang is unstable, the logistics cannot be guaranteed, so the plague must be controlled. I have already recommended the two of you to the Jade King, and I hope you will not shirk it, this is a great achievement, and when the plague subsides, I will definitely go to the saint to commend you for your merits. Yue Feipeng said, he now knew that Huang Xueqing's medical skills were extremely superb, so he naturally would not let go of this opportunity.

"This." Huang Xueqing looked at Zhan Yue on the side, and Zhan Yue nodded. "Go ahead, if the Jade King is reused, your suggestions and measures can be implemented."

"Okay." Huang Xueqing nodded.

Then Zhan Yue said to Yue Feipeng: "My wife can stay in Wubei, I am willing to go north with the general, first, I also know some medical skills for the military doctor, come, there are still some sayings in the light work, can do many things for the general." ”

Yue Feipeng looked at Zhan Yue, his brows furrowed, and he fell into deep thought, this young man's origin was too mysterious, but his consciousness always felt that he was not a bad person, but of great use to himself. Whether it is sending tokens, treating his own poison, or chasing white mice, he has done him a great favor, and he is definitely a capable person.

Vice General Li on the side also said, "General, bring Zhanyue's little brother with you, his skills are superb, and the future war may play a good role." Vice General Li said that he admired Zhanyue very much and hoped that he could also make military achievements.

"Okay, just stay with me." Yue Feipeng finally nodded and agreed.

Back in the house, Huang Xueqing and Zhanyue were a little reluctant, the two lived in the same room for a long time, although nothing happened, but they were also used to each other's existence, these days talking about the method of alchemy, both of them have gained a lot. After a few days, they had to separate, one went south to assist the Jade King to quell the plague, and the other went north to help General Yue fight against Qingqiu.

"You can't take this thing off for a moment, but remember, don't take it apart!" Huang Xueqing handed a cloth bag to Zhan Yue, and the cloth bag was sewn so tightly that she couldn't see what was inside. At this moment, Huang Xueqing's face was already a little flushed.

"What is this?" Zhan Yue held the small cloth bag and wondered.

"What can save your life, go to the battlefield, it stands to reason that with your ability, your life should be worry-free, but I always have a bad feeling, your task will definitely not be so simple, you hold it, I can rest assured, and I am in the rear to deal with the plague, but it is relatively safe." Huang Xueqing explained.

"Uh, okay." Zhan Yue didn't know what was in this cloth bag, so he put it directly into his arms.

Huang Xueqing reminded again: "You are not allowed to open the cloth bag and peek, otherwise I... I can't spare you. ”

"Got it..."Zhan Yue agreed, but she was more curious about what she gave herself. The two talked for a long time before they fell asleep, Huang Xueqing was lying on the bed, her face was blushing, she was really bold, and she actually handed over that thing to Zhanyue, but with it by Zhanyue's side, Zhanyue was equivalent to an extra life, and she was relieved.
