Chapter 258: The Plague

The plague that broke out in the territory of the Xiongnu came violently, and it had spread to the Yumen Pass in less than a month, and there were also a lot of Huns in the pass, because of trade or other reasons to go back and forth between the Huns and Damu, for a time it was uncontrollable, on the same day, Langzhong in a village in the Yumen Pass received seven or eight people infected with the plague.

"Sir, take a look, my husband also started to have a high fever last night, and he has been unconscious since this morning!

Na Langzhong is also very busy, has not rested, people who come to the clinic are generally symptomatic, first vomiting and diarrhea, and then high fever does not go away, and now there are four people who are unconscious and asleep. Although it is Langzhong in a small place, he also has excellent medical skills, and there is no such thing as a teacher's rules, but he is under pressure due to illness cubes, and he plans to try to see if he can save people.

Putting down the brush in his hand, he handed the prescription to the medicine boy beside him, and pulled up a chair to invite the anxious woman to sit down, while describing the condition in a deep voice.

"Sister-in-law, I won't tell you, I haven't encountered such a disease before, but I've seen a similar disease, so now I'm not completely sure, but I have been collecting medicine in the mountains with my father since I was a child to save people, and I have encountered a lot of incurable diseases, and my father is also overcoming problems little by little to save people, please rest assured, the plague is not an emergency, and there will be no accident in a short time." ”

The plainly dressed woman was relieved when she heard this, sat on the side and looked at the medicine boy walking back and forth, then looked at the man lying on the bed, got up and said to the doctor.

"Pang Langzhong, you are really a good person...... I didn't receive a consultation fee, so I was busy going back and forth for us ordinary people, and now my children and husband are sick, and I have no place to go when I get home. I want to help you, but I really don't know how I can help you, otherwise I'll help you take care of the sick and clean the house. ”

As he spoke, he stood up and took the copper basin and planned to fetch water, the doctor knew that she must be in a hurry to burn the fire, and he couldn't take care of so many people alone, so he didn't refuse, so he agreed directly.

"I didn't get cured of the disease, and I really deserved to receive any consultation fees. Now it's just me and the half-grown child in this pharmacy, it's best if you want to stay and help, I'll go and decoct the medicine first, and I'll take care of you. ”

The medicine boy is now only responsible for catching the medicine according to the prescription and recording some prescriptions, and when he really decocts the medicine, he has to keep an eye on Pang Langzhong himself. Similar diseases have been cured, and now the plague will not be too bad, and the big man put several Chinese medicines into the medicine jar according to the dosage and boiled them carefully over low heat.

There are three stoves in the courtyard with medicine on them, and the recipes are slightly different, just to test which one is the best. After several experiments, it was really successful, and after drinking a pair of decoctions, the patient improved after most of the day, and he was able to get out of bed and walk around the next day.

There are medicinal herbs and pharmacies in Yumen Pass, and the news that the plague can be cured in about three days spread quickly, and Mu Yunting also informed Xu Lianyi of the matter.

"Lianyi, I heard that there are medicinal materials and prescriptions for treating the plague in a village and town in Yumen Pass, you say, how can we do this to deter the Huns and convince them?"

Xu Lianyi lowered her head and thought about it, and said a suggestion with some hesitation.

"Do you remember one time when I was sick, and you have been taking care of me, I was so moved at that time that I forgot all the things that were angry with you for a while. I thought that it would be better to post a notice at Yumen Pass, as long as the Xiongnu patients changed to Damu for the people, they would be treated, so that not only did they save people, but also let the Huns remember Damu's kindness. ”

Mu Yunting nodded in agreement, stroking Xu Lianyi's long hair with a smile.

"I can't imagine that my lotus clothes are not only a good blue heart, but also a talent for governing the country. Rest well, I'll go and get this done and come back to you." ”

On the same day, as soon as the policy of the Hun patients who switched to Damu would be treated, many Huns defected. After all, there is no way to cure this plague in the territory of the Xiongnu, and people have begun to die one after another, and after seeing hope, they only want to live, and as for which country they are, it doesn't seem to matter so much.

However, this incident made Mu Yaoxi even more anxious, which would inevitably weaken the combat effectiveness of the Huns, and many Huns would respect Da Mu in their hearts, and how to start a war when the time came.

In a fit of anger, he directly slammed the celadon teacup in his hand to the ground and spoke angrily.

"Who the hell came up with this solution! Let me know who it is, I have to chop him up and feed it to the wolf!"

It was not only Mu Yaoxi who was anxious, but also the new Xiongnu king Duoyong, seeing that the plague was an incurable disease in the Xiongnu, and it could be cured in a few days when he arrived in Damu, and the population of the Xiongnu was reduced by one percent.

Inside the tooth tent, Duo Yong also frowned and paced back and forth, talking to Pura beside him about it.

"Pula, have the few people who have been treated with the plague still not improved? Why can the people of Damu do it! When we Huns never bowed to others, this time, we were not defeated on the battlefield, but by a plague. It's ridiculous. ”

Pura followed Da Yong's side, which was considered a royal guard, and seeing that Duo Yong was in a hurry like this, she also helped to think of countermeasures.

"Some medicinal herbs really can't be grown in the Xiongnu, but since Da Mu has it, why don't we break into the tiger's den this time and get the prescription back. Dopu is willing to go alone to find prescriptions and medicinal materials, and he is bound to bring the medicinal materials back to save my Hun people. ”

Now that the situation is urgent, there is only this way, and Duoyong sent Pula to the capital overnight. Who knew that Mu Yunting had long expected that the Huns would not be able to sit still, so he set up a card at the gate of the capital early in the morning to strictly check the Huns entering the city.

Pula hides a dagger on his body, and his appearance is also impossible to hide, as soon as he enters the city, he was found by the soldiers guarding the gate, and he was beheaded on the same day. When the dagger returned to Duo Yong's hands, Duo Yong was so angry that he almost killed the messenger. Thinking about it, he shouted angrily.

"I gave him this dagger...... It must be that Mu Yaoxi! He has always been very cunning, but this time he doesn't know what to do, it's really damned! I said a long time ago that he is a great Mu species, and he must be unreliable. His father was like that back then, and now he's doing it again!"

Duo Yong didn't think about it in anger, he only felt that it must be Mu Yaoxi who was the obstruction, otherwise how could Da Mu catch Duo Yong so easily. However, Mu Yaoxi is now in Damu, even if he is angry, he can't go to the capital to find him out.

Mu Yaoxi is not an idle person, he knows that the current form is not good for him, even if it is not the best time, he can only take the risk of attacking and assassinating, and there will be no worries about his life left and right, but it is just to cause chaos. In the chaos, anything can happen, and no one will pursue the small chaos in the big chaos.

Turning out the official uniform and waist tag of the Damu guards that had been prepared before, Mu Yaoxi blended into the palace with his excellent disguise, and found that the guards in the palace seemed to be very loose, and the patrols of the three-person team were free for a quarter of an hour. It's not like it was before, what the hell is going on.

Since there is no reason to leave immediately after entering the palace, in addition to doubts, Mu Yaoxi still plans to assassinate Mu Yunting, no matter whether the assassination is successful or not, this time it can at least let Duo Yong know that he did not do anything to kill Pula.

The patrol team in the palace is a shift every two hours, and when the shift is changed, it will be handed over at the palace gate, and a total of twelve people will meet and then patrol. But Mu Yaoxi is the thirteenth extra person, his name and appearance don't match, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not be discovered, it is better to find an opportunity to kill one of the guards, and then find another opportunity to get close to Mu Yunting.

The inspection team of three people starts from the palace gate, marches along the large circle in the palace, passing through the gates of each palace, as long as you follow the team, the chance of seeing Mu Yunting will be great.

Mu Yaoxi was wearing the clothes of a guard, and not every guard in the palace had seen it, but he was sent by a master to do something, and he didn't notice anything wrong. Mu Yaoxi pretended to be a new guard, looked around in confusion, and then stopped a maid to ask.

"This girl, I'm new here, and I'm not familiar with this palace, I just went back to get the waist card, and then I found that a few people who were with me were gone, did you see where the patrol team went?"

The ladies of the palace usually traveled from palace to palace, and they knew the route by heart, and they were even more familiar with the patrol team that they could see every day. Turning his head sideways to look at Mu Yaoxi's handsome appearance, he lowered his head slightly and pointed to a road to the east.

"Go over there, there's about a cup of tea, if you want to chase it, you can be faster. ”

Mu Yaoxi nodded and thanked him in reply, then rushed in the direction pointed by the maid, all the way to find the pillar as a cover, and soon saw the patrol team, the person walking at the back was seven or eight steps away from the person in front, looking like he hadn't woken up early in the morning.

Mu Yaoxi raised his lips and smiled, and when the last person walked to a corner, he directly knocked out a neat palm from behind, dragged him to a room that was used as a warehouse around the corner, and then quickly took the steel knife at his waist and followed.

The person in front didn't notice the kung fu in the blink of an eye, and the person behind him had already changed one, still walking forward slowly. At this time, it should be the time for Mu Yunting to go down, and now the patrolling people are also walking in the direction of the main hall. It's impossible to say where Mu Yunting will go and what he will do after the next dynasty, and he must seize this opportunity.

The guards in front also sensed that they were about to walk to the main hall, and straightened their waists to remind the two people behind them.
