Late at night.

One of the soldiers felt that his whole body suddenly became very hot, and for some reason, his head began to become dizzy, and it was not long before he felt that his whole body began to burn, and his internal organs were like fire, and he began to scream in pain.

The robes and brothers around him noticed the strangeness on his body and hurriedly called a military doctor.

However, in the process of diagnosing him by the military doctor, several soldiers fell ill one after another, and they all looked very painful, and the initial state was exactly the same.

Originally, the military doctor only thought it was an ordinary fever, but when there were more and more sick soldiers, he noticed something unusual, some soldiers were ill for less than two hours, and they actually had convulsions, and some of them actually showed brown spots on their skin, which surprised him.

His heart also became extremely flustered, and he searched all the medical books and ancient books for all the symptoms of the disease, but he did not find the corresponding condition.

The number of sick people is increasing, and the military doctor knows that he can not delay any longer, so he hurriedly said to a partial general: "General, this disease is strange, the probability of contagion is extremely high, and most of the sick people are extremely painful, I have notified all the military doctors in the camp and asked them to stay up overnight to make antipyretics.

However, before the cause of the disease is discovered, I hope that the general can integrate all the sick soldiers into one place, and all the soldiers who have been in close contact with the sick must be isolated, and the other soldiers must also take precautions against their ears, noses, hands, etc., and try to avoid direct physical contact with others. ”

The partial general saw that the military doctor looked like he was facing a great enemy, and asked, "Is this really so serious?"

The military doctor replied: "General, without further ado! At present, the number of sick people is rising in a straight line, and the symptoms of the disease are all the same, and this is no accident! A few days ago, a plague broke out in Shudi, and I was fortunate to follow the senior of the national medicine master Zhu Yanxiu to fight against the plague in Shudi, and at that time, the plague was called smallpox.

The smallpox plague was not much different from the disease in a contagious degree, but it did not yet show the symptoms of smallpox.

It was the first time I saw the plague of smallpox, which was absolutely unforgettable, and Zhu Yanxiu's predecessors once said that once a highly contagious disease broke out, the first thing to do was to gather all the sick people together and avoid human contact, because once the situation expanded, it would be like a big river bursting its banks, and it would be out of control!"

The heavy rain outside the tent was still falling, sometimes accompanied by thunder, which was eeriely scary.

Everything was silent, as if they were patiently waiting, waiting for an even bigger downpour to come.

After hearing what the military doctor said, the general couldn't continue to calm down in his heart, he hurriedly followed the instructions of the military doctor, he could not believe in the military doctor, but he would definitely believe Zhu Yanxiu, because that doctor was a generation of national doctors who were often on the lips of His Majesty the Emperor!

After following the instructions of the military doctor, the general did not hesitate and decided to meet Generalissimo Xiao.

Xiao Yuming usually sleeps in the barracks.

When this partial general came to Xiao Yuming's camp, he was already asleep, and this general braved the heavy rain, stood outside the door, spoke loudly, and said to Xiao Yuming, who was sleeping in the camp tent: "The last general, Wang Zhibao, the general of the Modao battalion, will report to Generalissimo Xiao, and the last general will have an urgent military report!"

Maybe it was because Xiao Yuming had worked hard to investigate the great wizard in the past few days, so he fell asleep early, and he was asleep, and he didn't hear the voice of the general.

But Wang Zhibao's voice woke Cui Jian up.

He slept next to Xiao Yuming's tent.

When he got out of his camp, he saw Wang Zhibao standing in the rain, and said to him impatiently: "The marshal has already slept, if you have anything, come back tomorrow morning!"

Wang Zhibao knew that Cui Jian was Marshal Xiao's guard in front of him, so he hurriedly said to him: "The last general really has a very urgent military report, if it is delayed for a moment longer, the consequences are unimaginable!"

Cui Jian frowned when he saw this.

There has been no war recently, so where is the urgent military situation, could it be that the traitors are attacking the city? It is impossible, once the traitors attack the city, their military report should be urgent, and it should not be the first to know about the partial generals standing in the rain.

Thinking of this, he thought that it was not a particularly urgent military situation, so he said to him: "Marshal Xiao is really tired these days, let him rest well, and tomorrow, I will personally call you, and if there is any military situation at that time, you can tell Marshal Xiao in person." ”

Wang Zhibao was anxious after hearing this, how could this kind of thing be delayed?

What if, as the military doctor said, the disease was a smallpox-like plague?

Once the army is infected with the plague, it will affect the whole country!

No sloppiness, no delay!

He may have been a little anxious, and the heavy rain kept pouring on him, which made the situation even more serious, and after thinking for a while, he actually braved the heavy rain, knelt on the ground, and said in his loudest voice in the direction of the camp: "The last general has an urgent military situation, I hope the marshal will meet!"

When Cui Jian heard such a loud voice, he was anxious, because this sound actually covered up the thunder, for fear that it would really disturb Marshal Xiao's rest, but seeing the scene of him kneeling, Cui Jian was also moved, and he said: "You wait a while, I'll wake up the marshal." ”

Seeing that this general was in such a hurry, maybe something big was about to happen.

It is a matter of military intelligence, and if something goes wrong, no one can afford it.

But as soon as his voice fell, Xiao Yuming's voice came from inside the tent: "Is it a report? I heard your voice, come in!"

After Wang Zhibao heard the voice, he was overjoyed, and he didn't care about his image, so he hurriedly went to Xiao Yuming's tent.

After entering, he found that the marshal was changing his clothes, so he immediately knelt on the ground and said: "Marshal, there is an urgent military situation at the end, and there is no time to delay!"

Xiao Yuming said while getting dressed: "Let's talk about it, what is it that makes you so flustered, and it is also an old man who follows Your Majesty, what should be a big deal to make you so flustered?"

Wang Zhibao nodded, and told Xiao Yuming the news that many soldiers were sick together tonight, and also told the military doctor's guess.

After Xiao Yuming heard this, he suddenly got up.

He hurriedly put on his armor and said to Wang Zhibao: "You have done a good job in this matter, go, take Ben Shuai to see what happened!"

Wang Zhibao received the order, and the two of them came to the sick camp where they were gathered together.

At this moment, the entire camp was full of military doctors who were tightly wrapped up and down, staying up all night or walking back and forth between the hospital beds, constantly asking about the physical condition of every soldier.

When Xiao Yuming saw the scene in front of him, he felt a little worried, and instructed Cui Jian: "Order martial law in the whole city, and then invite all the doctors in the city to the barracks, remember, you must verify their identities." ”

Xiao Yuming's move was to take precautions, he called a military doctor again, and asked, "Can you find out, what is the disease?"

The military doctor was sweating profusely on his entire forehead, looking very flustered, and after he heard Marshal Xiao's question, he sighed in his heart and said, "Back to Marshal, I still don't know what kind of condition it is.

However, some of the soldiers' body skin began to fester, and after drinking antipyretics, they still had a high fever, so "

Seeing his posture like this, Xiao Yuming was angry: "If it's serious, it's okay to say it directly." ”

When the military doctor heard this, it was like taking a reassuring pill, and he said: "I have a preliminary suspicion, this is definitely not an ordinary disease, it is likely to be a plague that has never been seen before and has an extremely fast onset time!"

When the military doctor's words fell, thunder and lightning just rang outside the camp tent, and the sound was terrifying.

The soldiers who came with Xiao Yuming in the tent were all pale with fright.

But only Xiao Yuming was unusually calm, he just nodded lightly, and then said: "Pass the order, inside and outside the camp, but anyone who knows about this matter, whoever dares to discuss or spread it will be dealt with in accordance with the art of war."

Speaking of this, he paused, thought for a moment, and said, "There is no mercy for killing." ”

When all the soldiers heard this, they were speechless, and they all became frightened.

Xiao Yuming slowly walked out of the camp and walked in the direction of the outside of the barracks, where it was still raining heavily. But he couldn't care about whether it would rain or not.

When Wang Zhibao saw this, he said loudly to him: "Marshal, where are you going?"

Xiao Yuming stopped at this time, and Wang Zhibao hurriedly brought an umbrella to support the rain.

He shook his head and motioned for Wang Zhibao not to hold an umbrella.

Then, he looked up at the heavy rain that was still falling and the sky with lightning and thunder in the sky, sighed, and muttered, "Prepare the horse, face the saint." ”
