Volume 8 Vertical and Horizontal Chapter 586 The Man Behind the Scenes
A cup of tea, a faint fragrance of tea rises, making the whole room seem to become much more elegant.
Hu Wei knew that this time Zhao Erte was very angry, even if he finally promised not to slaughter the common people suffering from the epidemic, which won him back a lot of fame.
Hu Wei actually knew that it was not very wise to confront Zhao Erte at this time. Although the alien race suffered defeat in Lin Gui, their strength is still strong. What Hu Wei needs to do is to take advantage of the current temporary calm situation to communicate with other countries, so that all countries can cooperate more closely, and should not make the relationship between them tense.
But watching more than a million people slaughter and do nothing, Hu Wei really can't do it. Before, he thought that he was angry with Wu Zizi, so he would confront Zhao Erte like that. When he sat down quietly, Hu Wei realized that it didn't have much to do with Wu Zizi. Because that's what he thinks in the truest part of his heart.
All the high-level officials know that continuing to give medicine to the people, but only allowing them to live a few more days, will not help the result.
Hu Wei is also very clear about this. As for why he insisted on knowing that it was useless, now that he thinks about it, maybe it's because Hu Wei still believes in miracles.
Miracle, people who have been through the smoke of war for eight years still believe this. Even Hu Wei himself felt very surprised. However, it seems that it is really believed.
The third day has passed, and in four days at most, the millions of people will all die. I'm afraid there will be no miracles this time.
"Hehe......"
Hu Wei suddenly smiled at the teacup, not a bitter smile, nor a happy smile, but a deep helplessness and bitterness in the smile......
Go back, I've been sitting here all afternoon, and he's been sitting here since he came out of the camp. The tea on the table had been changed three times, but he hadn't drunk it.
The refugee camp is a place where the people who are temporarily sheltered by the epidemic, and Hu Wei has told him more than once not to go, but today he really can't help it. He knew that if he didn't take a look before they disappeared, he was afraid that he would regret it later.
The camp is located in a ravine just outside the city, and it was once a mass grave, and it is, strictly speaking, still is. The sick people of Jincheng are now all enclosed there, and the number is about fifty or sixty thousand. There were heavy guards outside the ravine, and those who were put in could not come out again, whether they lived or died. Those who are alive are left alive, and those who are dead are buried on the spot. That's how they live now.
Hu Wei met many people, men, women, old people, and children. The children didn't know much about death, and when Hu Wei went, he saw a few children playing football on the grass. On the edge of the meadow, there was a little girl. They may not know it, but they will all die there in a few days at most.
Maybe they know, but not only, they don't think as much as the adults think. In the past, Hu Wei thought more than once, even if he lived a few more days, what would it be. Seeing them, Hu Wei knew the answer. A few more days and one more days of happiness they can have.
Isn't that good? Isn't it enough?
Through the tea in the cup, Hu Wei's ears seemed to hear the laughter of children again. He didn't dare to play games with the children, he was afraid that his tears would ruin the children's joy.
Let's go back.
Hu Wei pushed away the teacup, and the tea in the cup was gradually getting cold. It is said that people take tea to cool, but before they leave, the tea is already cold.
Hu Wei had now moved out of the palace, and he found that he didn't like the atmosphere in the palace. Or rather, he doesn't like the ruthlessness and coldness there. The new place of residence, just across the street from the teahouse, if nothing else, will leave tomorrow, the sky here is too dark, he doesn't like it very much.
"Bang Dang"
The door was pushed open vigorously, and Huada rushed in with an excited face.
"Young marshal, you can be saved, you don't have to die, you don't have to die"
Huada was a little excited, his whole face was red, and his language was confused, and he kept shouting, but he couldn't express what he meant.
Hu Wei stood still, and he intuitively felt that what Huada said was related to the epidemic.
Could it be that a miracle really happened?
"Have a cup of tea and speak slowly. Hu Wei pushed the cold tea in front of him, and he hadn't drunk this cup of tea either.
Huada drank tea, and the whole person calmed down a lot. In simple words, pour down the excitement in your heart.
"You mean, you found a medicine to deal with the epidemic?" Hu Wei understood what Huada meant, but a trace of doubt rose in his heart. Because he knows very well that Hua Lao, who has the most research on drugs, is helpless. In addition to Hua Lao, who else can research the formula of the special effect? Is it the birth of a new generation of medical cattle?
"Yes, I found it. The special effect is simply a cure," Wadabi said with his hands dirty, as if it was not so, not enough to express the excitement in his heart.
"Who matched it, whose formula?" was taken by Huada, and Hu Wei was also excited. He wanted to know who had created this miracle.
Huada's expression suddenly became strange, as if she suddenly didn't know how to speak.
"Say," Hu Wei was a little anxious.
Huada scratched his head and said, "No one, after you left today, some of them sent a paper bag." The paper bag contained a letter and a small packet of white powder. That powder is actually medicine, very effective. As soon as the common people ate it, they immediately became refreshed. ”
"Is there such a thing?" Hu Wei's heart moved, and he asked, "What is written on the letter?"
"Nothing was written except for a recipe. ”
Huada's answer made Hu Wei a little disappointed. But it's a good thing to have a recipe, the best thing.
"Let's go, let's take a look. ”
Rushing to the valley again, it didn't seem to be any different from when I left. Hu was worried about that, so he immediately went to find Hua Lao.
"I heard that there is a new recipe. Hu Wei didn't talk nonsense, and went straight to the point.
"Look at it. Hua Lao handed over the formula.
Hu Wei took it and looked at the paper first, there was nothing special, very ordinary paper. There are a few lines of small characters written on the paper, and the handwriting is beautiful, which seems to be written by a woman.
"Seventeen flavored medicines, have you tried them?" I couldn't see anything, the medicines listed on the paper were quite ordinary, except for a medicine called poppy, which was basically not difficult to find.
"I tried, and it worked. I just don't know who gave the list. "Maybe it's because I saw hope, Hua Lao's spirit has improved a lot.
"It doesn't matter whose recipe he is, as long as it works. Hurry up, match it out. In other places, they also immediately sent a copy of it. Time is of the essence, and now I can't care about it that much. Hu Wei affirmed.
"I know this, and now I've sent people around to gather medicinal herbs. It's just that the poppy is not easy to find, and the dosage is so large, and for a while, you can't get so much. Hua Lao said worriedly.
Hu Wei thought for a while and said, "I'll figure out a way to do this." Hu Wei thought of the Oriental Family, a giant business group, which should be able to be found.
"That's good. Hua Lao believed in Hu Wei's ability very much, and he said that if he handed it over to him, there would be no problem.
Hu Wei thought for a while and said: "This matter should be strictly kept secret and not let the people know, otherwise it will cause trouble." ”
This has to be guarded against. Although the people who were taken here did not get accurate information, they themselves basically knew that they were going to die, and now they suddenly let them know that there was medicine to treat, and if they didn't get it, someone would rob them. Human beings, in order to survive, can do anything.
Hu Wei had been worrying about this problem on the way here before, but fortunately, so far, it has been calm.
Hua Lao is very busy now, so he simply exchanged a few words with Hu Wei and went to work. The matter of poppies, Hu Wei asked Huada to do it. The Oriental Family also has a branch in Jincheng, and Huada can't get help as long as he takes the token.
There is no way out of the mountains and rivers, and the willows and flowers are bright and another village.
A matter related to the lives of millions of people, and when it was already desperate, there was a sudden turnaround, and there was a way to do it lightly and skillfully.
Is this a coincidence?
Hu Wei doesn't think so. My thoughts couldn't help but turn to the thirteen again. That thirteen, I'm afraid it's the key to the whole thing.
If this qiē is calculated in advance, then this matter will not be simple. From the beginning of the outbreak of the epidemic, there seems to be an invisible hand controlling the development of the whole situation.
"What should we do if there is an outbreak of such a similar epidemic in Langtian?"
In Hu Wei's heart, he suddenly thought of such a possibility.
If there really is an enemy who has mastered this technique, it is very scary. No, friend or foe, this man is terrible.
Today's Zhao Erte is really jubilant. The terrible plague had passed, and the results made him very satisfied. Although he spent a lot of money on this, he gained public support that he had not received since he ascended the throne.
"Young marshal, I have to say, you are really far-sighted. Zhao Erte said with admiration. As for whether he thinks so in his heart, I'm afraid only he knows.
"It's just luck. Hu Wei and Zhao Erte clinked glasses gently. Tomorrow he will leave the Chihe Empire, and this meal is a candied wine. ,
Zhao Erte seemed to be in a good mood, and kept pulling Hu Wei to speak. Hu Wei was also quite happy on the surface, but there was a thorn in his heart, and he couldn't pull it out.
There is still no news from the thirteenth, and the person who sent the letter can't find it. This made Hu Wei happy.
"Come, let's have another toast and wish Chihe and Mandala eternal friendship. Zhao Erte said something he didn't believe, and enthusiastically clinked glasses with Hu Wei.
Hu Wei naturally responded a few times, the game of 'forever' is just a good wish. This word has never been realized since it was created.
As when he came, a horse-drawn carriage walked on the potholed official road. Things that are different from when they came, no longer need to rush like a rush.
The continuous busyness made Hua Lao tired. He had been sleeping since he got in the car.
It was still Huada who was driving the car, and Hu Wei was also sitting on the wheel at this time, silently looking at the white clouds in the sky, and he hadn't moved for a long time.
"Young marshal, there is a small town ahead, shall we rest in the town for the night, or will we catch up for another section and advance to the city halfway through after dark?" Huada's voice broke the silence in the car.
"It's just a small town, I think the inn there is pretty good. "It's still more than fifty miles away from Midway City, and it's almost dark, so I'm in a hurry. Besides, there is nothing particularly good about Midway City, and it doesn't make much sense to rush there with such a lot of effort.
asked for two rooms in the inn, Hua Lao is old, Hua Da has a room with him, and he can take care of him. Hua Lao hastily had dinner and went up to rest. Hu Wei and Huada didn't want to go to bed so early, so they made a pot of tea, and chatted without a word.
"Young marshal, let's go to Chihe this time, it seems that we have lost a lot, and we have worked so hard to help Zhao Erte make a wedding dress in vain. Huada drank some wine, and dared to say something that had been held in his heart.
"Do you feel injustice?" Hu Wei smiled, playing with the teacup in his hand. The level of gabara is not enough, only what can be seen on the surface. Hu Wei has never made loss-making transactions, how could there be no harvest on this trip to Chihe.
Yes, on the surface, it was Zhao Erte who gained a lot. But secretly, Hu Wei has gained the gratitude of many Chihe people. Paper can't contain the fire, Zhao Erte's decision on the disposal of the epidemic people, Hu Worry's struggle for the epidemic people, sooner or later will be left to the people. Also, this time, everyone knows that Hua Lao played a key role in the epidemic, and who brought Hua Lao to the Chihe Empire, I'm afraid many people know.
There should be no less of Hu Wei, but Hu Wei didn't plan to tell him this. There are a lot of things that require talent. It takes someone else to wake up to find out, proving that he is not suitable for playing these.
After chatting with Huada for a while, Hu Wei returned to the room. As soon as he pushed the door open, Hu Wei immediately retreated. In the air, there is a faint fragrance, which is the body fragrance of a woman. This can't help but alert Hu Wei.
After listening carefully for a while, he didn't find any movement, so Hu Wei cautiously entered the room. The innkeepers are basically ordinary people, this kind of thing, it is useless for them to follow Ben, and they have to come by themselves. Besides, Hu Wei is ninety percent sure that this woman is coming at him.
The room was pitch black, and the moonlight outside the window was blocked by the drawn curtains. Hu Wei's eyes can see at night, and they are not afraid of the dark.
There was no one in the house, Hu Wei's burden was intact on the bed, and the person who came should have left.
Hu Wei checked the room again to make sure that there was no danger, and then came to the desk. The moment he opened the door, he could already see that there was something on it.
It was a letter, and Hu Wei picked it up. The handwriting is beautiful, and I want to laugh from the same person as the previous prescription.
The corners of Hu Wei's mouth showed a faint smile. I finally can't help but jump out. He wanted to see who was playing this trick.
took another deep breath of the air with the woman's body fragrance, and Hu Wei seemed to have an answer in his heart.
The temple is broken in the southeast of the town, this is the word left on the note, and now Hu Wei is here. He came alone, and he didn't call the gavalda. When he came out, he didn't say anything to Huada. This is for him, and it doesn't work to tell Huada.
"I've arrived, aren't you going to show up yet?" Hu Wei said lightly.
There was silence all around, and there seemed to be no one, but Hu Wei knew that there was a pair of eyes looking at him.
The sound of broken footsteps sounded, and a wonderful figure gradually appeared in front of Hu Wei. It's the same as Hu Wei guessed, it's really her. ,
"Princess Chuzhu, we meet again. Hu Wei gave Chu Zhu a salute. Chu Zhu's body fragrance is very special, and in the room before, Hu Wei already faintly felt that it should be her.
"I haven't seen her for many days, but the princess is getting more and more beautiful. Hu Wei's gaze was unscrupulously on Chu Zhu's body, scanning up and down.
"Young marshal. Chu Zhu saluted lightly. There is no special reflection on Hu Wei's gaze. Her beauty has made her attract attention since she was a child, and she has long been used to it.
"The moon is dark and the wind is high, the environment is beautiful, the princess is the princess, and even the dating place is so particular. Hu Wei said teasingly.
"You don't have to look at it, it's just me, I don't have a helper, you can rest assured. Chu Zhu exposed Hu Wei's intentions.
Hu was so worried that he was not embarrassed, and said with a smile: "Safety first." Seriously, every time I see you, I always have a feeling of panic. But thank you for helping me. ”
"You think I'm helping you?" Chu Zhu turned his gaze to Hu Wei for the first time.
"Although you don't recognize it, I wrote down this feeling. "Just write it down, whether you want to pay it back, how to return it, Hu Wei didn't say. At the moment when he suspected that the epidemic was man-made, Hu Wei set up two groups of people in his mind. One, it's a foreign race. The second is the gang of the original Bauhinia Dynasty headed by Chu Zhu. Now it seems that the conjecture was right at the time.
"You don't have to put gold on your face, I'm not helping you this time, I'm helping my people. Chu Zhu said coldly.
Hu Wei smiled faintly and did not refute her words. He felt that these returnees were sick in the brain. The Bauhinia Dynasty has exhausted its qi, and it will be extinguished, and what strength will it regain. With that effort, it is better to build a kingdom of your own. I'm afraid it's going to be as easy as it gets.
"What are you laughing at," Chu Zhu said.
"Princess Chuzhu, as your people, I think it's okay to smile. It's a cheer for the princess to be beautiful. Hu Wei teased. Although Chu Zhu gave him a lot of trouble, to be honest, Hu Wei never hated Chu Zhu.
There is nothing wrong with everyone striving for their own goals. Besides, Hu Wei's first impression of Chu Zhu was not bad, I remember that at that time, she saved a little girl who was almost hit by a carriage.
Although in her thoughts, it was just doing what she should do for her people, but just this point, Hu Wei can be sure that she still has a kind heart more or less.
A kind woman is probably not too bad.
