Chapter 279: Responding to the Enemy
Fortunately, Yu Cheng was a little speechless.
But the people smiled and nodded: "We are very good, His Royal Highness Prince Xie cares." ”
Natural disasters are beyond human control, and when this happens, the imperial court comes to the rescue in time, and Yu Cheng personally comes to the disaster relief, which has made them grateful.
And knowing the outbreak of the epidemic, Yu Cheng did not withdraw to Beijing, let alone shrink in the mansion, but braved the hardships and dangers of daily patrols, which is heartily admired.
"Is there enough rice? I'm fine. Yu Cheng asked carefully.
This natural disaster has lasted for nearly two months, and the people barely survive on gruel, all of them are yellow and thin, and their bodies are weak and susceptible to diseases.
But at the moment, he has no better way but to let them live first, survive the epidemic and then rebuild their houses and return to normal life.
"Enough, you can eat for a few days. The body is also fine, there is no pain, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince does not have to worry. The people replied with a smile, not to let Yu Cheng worry.
In fact, they only drink one or two meals of porridge every day, and they dare not put an extra grain of grain.
It's not that the court doesn't care about them, but that there are too many victims and they are powerless.
"Okay, if there is no food, report it to the government and supply it in time." Yu Chengchong woke up the child who rubbed his eyes and smiled, and moved away.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince takes care of your health." The people waved goodbye, caring and instructing.
The sky is high and the emperor is far away, and now Yu Cheng is their heaven and their hope.
Therefore, Yu Cheng can't fall.
Under the warm sun, Yu Cheng and Shen Changze came to another hut, where the people who were infected with the epidemic lived.
"Ahem...... you don't have to get close to hear the sound of coughing and panting.
Yu Cheng called the doctor stationed there to inquire about the situation.
"It's not good, it's not bad, it's not going to get worse, but it's not getting better, the villain's medical skills are really limited......" The doctor bowed his head in shame.
Yu Cheng pursed his lips and said, "I don't blame you, the imperial doctor in Beijing will be here in a few days, and he will hold on for a few more days." ”
Hearing this, the doctor's eyes lit up, and his expectations instantly ignited.
As he spoke, an argument broke out in the distant shack.
Yu Cheng raised his eyes and looked over, and saw several middle-aged men tearing and scuffling with the same people, scolding and scolding in their mouths.
"What order, fuck it, I'm going crazy, I'm going to go out and walk around, no one can care......"
"Ahem...... Even if it is death, Lao Tzu has to find a better piece of land, which is better than dying here......"
The doctor shook his head and sighed: "These people are villains in the city, and they have been refusing to cooperate since they were infected with the epidemic. ”
"If you really want them to go out and run around, you may not know where they will take the disease."
Yu Chengting's brows furrowed heavily.
Disaster relief is already difficult, and encountering such an arrogant and unreasonable person is even worse.
In silence, Yu Cheng heard the people scolding angrily.
"This group of scourges, they shouldn't waste porridge and medicine, they should be allowed to die."
"It's just that it's not a good thing in the first place, and it's clean when ...... dead."
Shen Changze spied on Yu Cheng's expression and asked, "Your Highness, do you want to deal with it?" ”
Yu Cheng said in a deep voice: "Let people be strictly guarded, and they must not be allowed to leave a step." ”
They used to be villains, but now they are tumors, and they must not be allowed to harm other people.
"Yes." Shen Changze took the order and sent several sword-wielding soldiers over.
Although the men were burly, they were weak after the epidemic, and the soldiers drove them back to the house without much effort.
Although they were still scolding, seeing the bright knife, as well as Shen Changze and Yu Cheng in the distance, the villains still didn't dare to break through.
After solving this little episode, Yu Cheng and Shen Changze continued to inspect.
The sun in the sky slowly moves from east to west, and quietly sets before people are aware of it.
Zhou Boxu sat in the car, and the team walked forward at dusk.
In the summer, when it was early and late in the dark, Zhou Boxu ordered the team to get up early and rush to the dark, and only rest for three hours at night.
When the moon rises in the treetops, the team stops in a valley to light a fire for cooking.
After simply filling his stomach, Zhou Boxu took a few people to keep vigil, and the rest rested.
In order to have a wider view, Zhou Boxu sat on a big tree and cut off the branches and leaves in front of him with his sword, so that he could see the entire camp.
The moonlight is quiet, lightly sprinkled in the valley, and a few insect chirpings occasionally sound in the quiet long night, accompanied by Zhou Boxu.
Zhou Boxu cheered up his spirit, and his sharp eyes looked around, without any slackness.
The moon moved over the mid-heavens and slowly sunk.
In an hour or so, the sky will be dawn.
The guards of the night watch below yawned and stretched, looking forward to the dawn of the day.
At this moment, Zhou Boxu heard the voice of Xi Xisuo.
"Be on guard against the enemy!" Zhou Boxu shouted in a deep voice.
When the lazy guard heard this, his brain immediately shook, and he hurriedly woke up the sleeping guard loudly and drew his sword to fight.
"Kill!"
"Rush, silver in front of the carriage."
With the shouts of killing, a group of bandits rushed out of the dark mountain forest, brandishing cold and shining knives and rushing towards the camp.
Zhou Boxu did not immediately get off the tree, but observed the battle situation.
Judging from what they had just heard, and the direction in which they were rushing, it was for the robbery of silver.
Although these medicinal materials are worth a lot of money, they are huge in number, and it is very troublesome to sell them after robbing them, so it is naturally not as convenient as robbing silver.
After seeing the situation clearly, Zhou Boxu flew down the tree and found Lin Jun and said, "Take Mr. Du and the medicinal herbs to go first, leave the silver, and I will break it later." ”
Lin Jun hurriedly said: "My lord, this is too risky, and the subordinates will be cut off." ”
Zhou Boxu repelled a bandit with his sword, and said with a cold expression: "This is an order!" ”
“…… Be! Subordinates obeyed. Lin Jun responded with difficulty, let Du Zhong and the physician go in the carriage first, and then led people to drive away the carriage carrying the medicinal herbs.
Zhou Boxu led a team of people to fight with the bandits and cover their evacuation. Seeing that someone wanted to catch up, Zhou Boxu kicked over the silver box, and the silver of the white flowers was instantly scattered all over the ground.
"Silver, silver!" Seeing the silver, the bandits' eyes lit up, and they couldn't care about chasing it anymore, they just wanted to kill Zhou Boxu and others to get the silver.
The ferocious bandits flocked to the silver cart in droves.
Zhou Boxu jumped into the car, stood on the silver box with his sword, and said in a cold tone: "If you want silver, it depends on whether you have that life." ”
"Humph! Arrogant! Don't talk about silver, it's your life, and Lao Tzu will also be decided! The bandit jumped into the car and fought with Zhou Boxu with a big knife.
Sword-to-sword, there is a disparity in strength, and it is not suitable for hard fighting.
Zhou Boxu blocked the chopping knife with his sword, and at the same time kicked out, forcing the five big and three thick bandits out of the silver cart.
"Heh, there are two times, Lao Tzu wants to kill you even more." The bandit leader's eyes flashed with excitement, and he jumped into the car again and attacked Zhou Boxu with a knife.
Zhou Boxu dodged away, and the long sword in his hand stabbed out diagonally, hitting the door of the bandit's head.
The bandit retreated sharply, his face trembled, and just as he was about to raise his sword, the long sword turned and stabbed at him at an extremely tricky angle.
The bandit leader was forced to jump out of the car, and Zhou Boxu pressed up, not giving half a chance to breathe.
The bandit head wielded a big knife and hid while blocking, and his hands were in a hurry.
But no matter how he dodged, the sword was like an eye, and it bit at him.
Grandma's! This sword is like a snake, and it can't be dodged no matter how much it dodges.
