In this world, there are not many people who dare to easily promise the position of city lord.

Not even the most beloved princess of the Holy Heavens today.

But Ah Xi can.

Reason?

As she said, she was the daughter of Yao Rong, the master of the Absolute Immortal Pavilion.

- Her identity is her confidence.

Zhuoma looked at Ah Xi several times, and his face showed surprise: "You are the master of the Su Yingxi Su Shao Pavilion?" ”

Ah Xi nodded: "It's me." ”

"Do you have any proof of identity?"

"Everyone around me can attest to that."

Zhuoma looked at Dr. Zhao and Dr. Qian.

The two doctors nodded vigorously.

Dolma said, "They are your accomplices, maybe you are colluding to deceive me." ”

Ah Xi took out the tokens of the Absolute Immortal Pavilion and the Juxian Alliance from his arms: "The token is proof." ”

Zhuoma took the token and studied it, she had never seen the token of the Absolute Immortal Pavilion and the Juxian Alliance, but just looking at the material of the token, she knew that this was definitely not something that ordinary people could take out.

However, Zhuoma still couldn't fully believe it: "With your identity, there will definitely be guards to follow you when you come to such a dangerous place as Mocheng." I want to meet your guards. ”

Doctor Zhao said: "There are a total of twenty guards who escorted us to Mocheng, and they are all outside. ”

Zhuoma looked out: "The strength is okay." ”

But there are many guards of this kind of strength, and there are many in her house.

Ah Xi said: "These guards were hurriedly transferred after learning that I was going to Mocheng. If you want to see it, it should be my secret guard. ”

Ah Xi walked out of the hall directly and gestured to the night.

The two men in black quietly fell behind Ah Xi.

Dolma's face was solemn, she didn't even notice the existence of these two men in black from beginning to end.

"Do you need me to prove it again?" Ah Xi asked.

Zhuoma clenched his fists and changed his words: "Please also ask the master of the young pavilion to bear with me." I didn't mean to make it difficult, but I didn't expect to be in danger myself as you. ”

Doctor Zhao and Dr. Qian nodded again and again, obviously understanding Zhuoma's mood.

Half of them are willing to come to Mocheng because of the benevolence of the doctors; The remaining half was because they were moved by Ah Xi's sincerity.

Ah Xi smiled a little helplessly, and returned to the point: "Then you can consider my proposal." ”

Dolma sat back in the Taishi chair and tapped the armrest with her fingertips.

I have to say that she was very moved by Ah Xi's proposal.

"Do you know what it means to make the decision to lock down?"

Ah Xi nodded: "I know." ”

Dolma narrowed her eyes: "Do you really know? ”

Her tone suddenly lowered: "In fact, the most difficult part of the lockdown is not to stop those forces who want to escape. Rather, once you make this decision, you are responsible for the life and death of the whole city. ”

Ah Xi still nodded, and his tone remained unchanged: "I know." ”

Zhuoma was choked by Ah Xi's understatement.

Ah Xi sat down beside Zhuoma: "I once heard a friend talk about the plague in Xiangcheng. ”

Xiangcheng was originally a very prosperous city, but first there was a flood, and then a plague broke out. In order to prevent the spread of the plague, the prefect of Xiangcheng directly closed the city and did not allow anyone in the city to escape.

At that time, Ah Xi couldn't understand the choice of the prefect of Xiangcheng at all.

It wasn't until she made a similar choice to the Xiangcheng prefect that she suddenly understood the Xiangcheng prefect's state of mind.

Doctor Zhao asked: "Since you talked about the plague in Xiangcheng, do you remember the final ending of Xiangcheng and the prefect of Xiangcheng!?" ”

Xi: "I remember. ”

Doctor Qian sighed: "Because of the instant decision of the prefect of Xiangcheng, the plague did not spread. The people around Xiangcheng were saved. But after the plague, the enraged people of Xiangcheng rushed into the mansion and beat the prefect of Xiangcheng to death. ”

Ah Xi shook his head: "My situation is very different from that of the Xiangcheng prefect. ”

"After the outbreak of the plague in Xiangcheng, the imperial court did not make any response, resulting in a shortage of medicinal materials and doctors in Xiangcheng. The prefect of Xiangcheng closed the city, and the people in the city could only wait for death. ”

"There is no shortage of medicinal herbs in the Absolute Immortal Pavilion behind me, and my mother will never give up on me. As long as he waits a little longer, Mocheng will be able to wait for doctors and medicinal materials. ”

"And the situation in Mocheng and Xiangcheng is not the same."

"In addition to those big families in Xiangcheng who want to flee, ordinary people also want to flee. But only those powerful people in Mocheng wanted to get out of the city, and ordinary people gave up fleeing. ”

"That way, I naturally face a lot less resistance."

Dolma nodded, "You're right, but-"

"I must warn you that if you succeed in curing the plague, all is well. But have you ever thought about the consequences of failure? ”

"Do you think that after you fail, your fate will be much better than that of the prefect of Xiangcheng?"

Ah Xi took a breath lightly: "I don't know what the consequences of failure will be, but it's better not to ask about the future before acting, otherwise it's easy to look ahead and look backwards." ”

Dr. Zhao, Dr. Qian, and Zhuoma were all silent.

If it is said that in the face of the plague, it takes a lot of courage to enter the desert city retrograde.

The first to stand up and make the decision to lock down the city on behalf of everyone requires even more fearless bravery.

In the face of such bravery, their indecision seemed so pale.

"Okay."

Dolma smiled suddenly.

"Su Shaoge, a stranger, can do this kind of thing for Mocheng, how can I, a native of Mocheng, stand by and watch."

"Tell me, what are you going to do?"

Zhang Laohan is an ordinary person in Mocheng.

When he was young, he worked in the caravan and followed the caravan to the north and south, which was also a bit of insight.

Thirty years ago, a plague broke out in Saibei, and his entire family died, but he was the only one who survived.

Later, he married a wife, who bore him two sons. After each of the two sons married their daughters-in-law, they bore him three grandsons and a granddaughter.

The life of a family of ten is not easy, stumbling, noisy.

If the days go on like this, maybe one day when Zhang Laohan and his wife kick their legs, the two sons will split up and live their own lives. But a few days ago, a plague broke out in Mocheng.

The big families are trying to find a way to escape, and the two sons are also discussing whether to run at home, Zhang Laohan drooped his eyelids and said coldly: "What to run, you must not run!" ”

The eldest son was puzzled, and Zhang Laohan took a puff of dry tobacco: "Thirty years ago, we escaped once, what was the end in the end?" I was the only one in the family who survived! ”

While peeling the garlic, his wife sighed: "You were not born at that time, and you don't know how terrible Saibei is." No matter where you run, there is a plague, and to run away is to toss in vain. If you have this strength, it is better to save it, and maybe you will get through it. ”

The second son said with red eyes: "Is it just waiting for death?" ”

Zhang Laohan asked his wife to cook more in the past few days, so that everyone can eat six or seven points full, and then he took out a dime of broken silver from his pocket and handed it to his eldest grandson: "Da Lang, you go and ask two talismans to come back, one is hung at the door, and the other is burned into talisman water, and the whole family will drink it at that time." ”

The eldest grandson asked, "Grandpa, can Fu Shui really drive away evil spirits?" ”

"Really." Zhang Laohan looked far away, and he didn't know if he really thought that Fu Shui could cure all diseases, or if he was simply asking for a sustenance in his heart.

The eldest grandson took the broken silver and ran out, and did not come back until it was time for lunch.

Zhang Laohan was just about to scold, when he saw his eldest grandson running in in a hurry, with a bit of strange surprise on his face.

"Grandpa, the city gate was blocked by a girl and someone! The girl said that from today onwards, no one is allowed to go out of town! ”

"What!?" Zhang Laohan was taken aback, "Girl? Is it Dolma-sama? ”

The eldest grandson said excitedly: "No, she said that her surname is Su and she is a doctor." ”

Zhang Laohan said suspiciously: "Can a doctor block the city gate?" ”

At this time, Ah Xi was glad that she was not just a doctor, there were also Juexian Pavilion and Juxian Alliance standing behind her, and her mother arranged two secret guards with extraordinary martial arts for her.

Relying solely on secret guards, the city gate cannot be sealed.

But superb martial arts, coupled with an identity that cannot be easily offended, can often achieve twice the result with half the effort.

The big families in Mocheng confronted Ah Xi and Zhuoma under the city gate for a long time before retreating silently.

Ah Xi knew that if they retreated temporarily, it didn't mean that they had given up leaving the city.

If she can't control the situation in Mocheng, if the plague in Mocheng continues to worsen, then at that time, these people will no longer care about her identity.

So after a short rest, Ah Xi found Dr. Zhao and Dr. Qian and discussed with them about the establishment of a quarantine area.

The plague that appeared in Mocheng was a brand new plague, and the symptoms at first were similar to those of being infected with wind and cold, but it would slowly worsen after a few days, and finally the patient would faint and die in a high fever.

This plague is not particularly contagious, but after a few days, there are still hundreds of cases in Mocheng.

The quarantine area is not difficult to build, the real difficulty is how to convince those who have been infected with the plague to live in the quarantine area.

"They would rather spend all their savings to buy water to heal their illnesses than give their lives to the doctors," Dolma said. ”

Dr. Zhao said: "This can't go on like this, and the patients must be gathered together quickly." ”

Doctor Qian was also angry: "Since we can't be reasonable, then let's go directly to their homes and arrest people in the quarantine area." ”

The three of them were a little undecided, and subconsciously looked at Ah Xi.

Unconsciously, Ah Xi has become their backbone.

Ah Xi pondered for a moment and said, "I have thought of a solution. ”

The three of them asked, "What's the solution?" ”

Ah Xi couldn't bear to use force against those sick people, but she didn't have the slightest mercy on those gods.

She ordered people to capture all the gods in the city overnight, and let them persuade the people infected with the plague to live in the quarantine area.

The people did not listen to them, but they listened to the words of the gods and cooperated with them to live in the quarantine area.

Doctor Zhao couldn't cry or laugh: "What is this called?" ”

Ah Xi wore a simple mask on his face and gloves on his hands, and quietly stared at this scene: "This situation will definitely change." ”

The epidemic prevention work is complicated, and Zhuoma is mainly responsible for dispatching manpower and cooperating with the work;

Dr. Qian led a group of people to use the methods recorded in ancient books to control the spread of the plague among the population;

Ah Xi and Dr. Zhao were in charge of taking care of the sick and trying to find a cure for the plague in the shortest possible time.

It's just that this time the plague is menacing, and Ah Xi and the others have searched through all the ancient books at hand, but they have not been able to find an effective way to treat the plague.

On this day, another patient infected with the plague died of agony after being tortured.

Ah Xi didn't have time to grieve, so he quickly threw himself into the treatment of another seriously ill patient.

When she finished her work, she heard that Dolma was looking for her.

Ah Xi changed into clean clothes and smoked wormwood all over his body, and then went to see Zhuoma: "What's wrong?" ”

Dolma sighed: "Several waves of people have come to me today, saying that their relatives have been infected with the plague one after another. I reluctantly sent them away, but depending on the situation, it would take three days at most, and if they couldn't find a cure, they would definitely rush out of Mocheng regardless of it. ”

Ah Xi pursed her lips.

Dolma asked, "Do you have a clue?" ”

Ah Xi smiled bitterly: "Not yet." ”

It's only been five days since the lockdown, and if you had a clue so soon, you wouldn't have died so many people every time the plague broke out.

Zhuoma didn't want to pour cold water on Ah Xi anymore, but there were some things that had to be told to Ah Xi in advance, so that Ah Xi could be mentally prepared: "There are not many herbs left in the city. ”

Ah Xi asked, "Didn't you just transfer a batch from a nearby town?" ”

Zhuoma shook his head: "Saibei's herbal reserves are not rich, and that batch of herbs is just a drop in the bucket." ”

Ah Xi was silent, and said after a while: "Is there anything else, if there is no me, I will go back first." I have a lot of work ahead of me. ”

Ah Xi said goodbye to Zhuoma, and as soon as he returned to the gate of the quarantine area, he saw two men pulling a board cart and coming over.

There was an old man and a small child lying on the cart.

The old man was still a little conscious, and the child was already burned unconscious.

It was Zhang Laohan and his eldest grandson.

"Doctor, doctor, please save my father and my son." When the man saw Ah Xi, he let go of the cart, cried and threw himself at Ah Xi, and made a gesture to kneel, "My father and my son have been drinking the talisman water to ward off evil spirits for the past two days, but the talisman water is useless, my son can't eat anything today, and he started vomiting and diarrhea in the afternoon, and he can't wake up no matter how he screams......

As soon as he heard this, Ah Xi walked quickly to the child's side, lifted the child's eyelids, and secretly said that it was not good, so he hurriedly took out the silver needle in his arms, aimed at the acupuncture point and pricked the child with two needles, and slowly moved the needle.

The child's pale face regained a little blood.

Looking at the man who was crying and tearful, and full of remorse, Ah Xi did not say any more accusatory words: "You guys go back first." ”

The two men were reluctant to leave, and Ah Xi said: "The wind is strong at night, and they can't blow the wind. The quarantine area is full of sick people, and you will only add to the chaos if you go in. ”

After the two men left, Ah Xi asked Zhang Laohan and his eldest grandson to be sent into the tent.

She washed her hands with hot water, took the cloth next to her to dry the water on the surface of her skin, and burned the silver needles with a candle flame to continue to administer needles to the child.

After a while, the child was full of needles.

By the time Ah Xi finished pulling out the needle for the child, her forehead was already covered with sweat.

Zhang Laohan was lying next to him, and suddenly asked, "Doctor, is my eldest man still saved?" ”

Ah Xi didn't hide it from Zhang Laohan: "I'll have someone feed him some medicine in a while, and see if he can wake up tomorrow." ”

Muddy old tears rolled out of Zhang Laohan's eyes: "Thank you, doctor, thank you, doctor......"

"It's all my fault, when Da Lang first had a fever, my eldest son and eldest daughter-in-law said that they would send him to the quarantine area, but I don't agree, I don't believe that you will be so kind and give us free medical treatment...... I'll let him drink the talisman all the time......"

"If Da Lang dies, don't waste your time on me, doctor. I don't have the face to go out to see my eldest son and eldest daughter-in-law again......"

Ah Xi sighed, he didn't know how to persuade Zhang Laohan, he just hoped that this child named Da Lang could survive it.

Otherwise, this poor family is afraid that it will end in tragedy.

Fortunately, Zhang Laohan's eldest grandson survived.

When Ah Xi came to give his grandson two needles, Zhang Laohan struggled to get up, and was about to kneel down for Ah Xi, Ah Xi hurriedly supported him: "Your illness is not yet cured, don't be happy and sad." It's not too late to thank me when I'm fully recovered. ”

As soon as he calmed down Old Man Zhang, Ah Xi heard a rapid and sharp scream.

She asked Zhang Laohan to lie down and rest again, and she walked in the direction where the gate of the quarantine area was located.

When he saw the situation at the gate of the quarantine area, Ah Xi's face sank-

A group of guards, weapons in hand, surrounded the gates of the quarantine area.

Dr. Zhao stepped forward to argue with them, and almost fell to the ground between pushing.

Ah Xi crossed the crowd, hurriedly supported Dr. Zhao, and asked, "What are you going to do?" ”

The guard at the head said respectfully: "Master Su Shaoge, my master said that he has no intention of harming you, but I just hope that you can stay in the quarantine area and stop going to the city gate to stop them from leaving the city." ”

Ah Xi gritted his teeth: "Who is the master of your family?" ”

The guard's back bent slightly, but he didn't answer Ah Xi's question, so his respect was only superficial.

Ah Xi smiled coldly: "Don't dare to say? Don't you tell me I don't know? ”

This group of centaurs was not wearing any items that could symbolize their status, Ah Xi quickly swept over them, and said in a loud voice: "The degree of wear and tear of the tiger's mouth is much higher than that of ordinary martial arts practitioners, and your habitual weapons must be very heavy." You've all changed your weapons before you came. ”

"The center of gravity habitually falls on the left foot, which should have something to do with the exercises you are practicing."

"The breath is dull, and the fire in the body is vigorous."

"Are you from the Wuba Hall in the east of the city?"

The guard changed color slightly: "Since the master of the Su Shaoge has guessed our identity, please also ask the master of the Su Shaoge to sell our hall master a face." Our hall master said that he was willing to donate two carts of herbs for free in exchange for the forgiveness of the master of the Su Shao Pavilion. ”

Ah Xi stepped forward slowly.

The guard pulled out half of his long sword: "Please also ask the young pavilion master not to embarrass us." We're just doing what we're told. ”

Ah Xi said: "No one can leave Mocheng today. If you think you can stop me and my people, just try. ”

The guard gritted his teeth and threatened, "If the Su Shao Pavilion Master must go to the city gate, we will not stop it." But after the Su Shaoge Master leaves, we have no way to guarantee what will happen to the quarantine area behind you. ”

Ah Xi's face changed greatly, and the onlookers also made a noise.

However, the master of the Wuba Hall has always acted domineeringly. In particular, the exercises he practiced had a great impact on his mind, and only he would ignore such an order.

But it was such a madman who didn't care about it that happened to grasp Ah Xi's weakness.

She is not afraid that these people will hurt her, but she is worried that these people will delay the epidemic prevention and control work.

"You ......"

Ah Xi was just about to say something, when a familiar voice sounded in everyone's ears with the blessing of internal force.

"If she gets out of here, what will happen to the quarantine behind her?"

Ah Xi looked up sharply.

The crowd spread out in both directions, leaving a passageway.

Yao Rong was dressed in black, and he was dusty.

Chang Yue carried a bloodstained head and stood behind Yao Rongxian.

Behind Chang Yue, more than a dozen black-clothed people stood quietly with swords.

"I'm not mistaken, that head seems to be ...... It's the master of the Oba Hall!? ”

"The master of Wuba Hall has been crisscrossing the Desert City for decades, and that's it...... He's dead? ”

Needless to say, seeing this situation, only one thought came to everyone's hearts: The person who supported the master of the Su Shaoge had arrived.

"Mother!"

Ah Xi was first surprised, and then overjoyed.

She subconsciously ran towards Yao Rong, but thinking that she had just come out of the quarantine area, she hurriedly stopped halfway.

"I haven't smoked wormwood yet, don't come near me."

Yao Rong looked at Axi from top to bottom, and finally let go of his heart after mentioning all the way.

If you want to talk about Ah Xi's state, it is naturally not good.

During this time, Ah Xi was under tremendous pressure, and he did not sleep a day peacefully, with green daisy printed under his eyes.

But at least, there is no fear for life.

Yao Rong soothed: "Don't worry, I'll handle the rest." ”

Ah Xi nodded, most of the burden in his heart was relieved, and the whole person became a lot lighter.

In the past few days, she has become the backbone of many people, and she can't show her timidity in front of them, and she can't hesitate to retreat in front of them.

Because she has to take responsibility for the decisions she makes.

But now, her backbone has arrived.

As long as her mother is in charge of the overall situation, Mocheng will not be chaotic.

Yao Rong's gaze moved away from Ah Xi, and when he fell on the team of guards who were blocking Ah Xi, he was like a knife: "Are you the Deadpool cultivated by Wuba Hall?" ”

The hands of the leading guards trembled: "Go back to Yao Pavilion to speak, no." ”

"It's not Deadpool, he's dead, and you're not going to be captured?"

The hands of the leading guards finally lost their strength, the long sword slipped down, and fell heavily to the ground: "Please forgive the Lord of the Yao Pavilion." ”

Yao Rong didn't look at him again.

Her gaze turned again, falling on the spies who were hiding in the crowd and belonging to various forces, and finally fell on Dolma, who hurried to hear the news.

"From now on, Mocheng is temporarily taken over by me."

"Before the plague is over, those who break into the city gates by force, spread rumors to disturb the people's hearts, and hoard goods to affect prices will be killed!" ：，，
