Chapter 17 It is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice
Poria glanced at Taishou, who was paralyzed on the bed and dying, and hurriedly stepped forward to check it, frowning slightly.
"How's it going?" Yang Yan asked in a low voice.
"There is only one breath left, and if it drags on for another half a day, I'm afraid I can only carry it out of the city."
When the old woman heard Poria's words, she knelt on the ground and pleaded with tears in her eyes, "Please, save my master, he can't die, our family is still counting on him to feed."
"Get up quickly, go out, you will also be infected in a while, but it will not be easy to do," Poria said loudly, glancing at the old woman kneeling on the ground.
Ai Yiming and Long Lan looked at Poria and the two worriedly, afraid that they were also infected with the plague, so this matter would be a little troublesome.
Yang Yan knew what they were thinking, and said, "You also go out, we will protect ourselves, not to mention that there is a doctor like her", Ai Yiming and Long Lan nodded, and then left the room with the old woman.
At this time, only Yang Yan, Poria and the dying Taishou Li Yi were left in the room. Yang Yan asked in a low voice, "Can he be saved?" If he doesn't wake up, I'm afraid we won't be able to get so much medicine."
Poria nodded, looked at Yang Yan strangely and said, "I don't have any medicine in the world now, those elixirs can't be used by him, there is only one way to save him, and that is to use your blood."
"My blood, can't Bigu Dan?" Yang Yan asked, pointing to the gourd.
"Bigu Dan died immediately after eating him, his body was too weak, and he took the great tonic medicine, and he died in less than a quarter of an hour. Your body has been transformed by elixir, and the blood in your body is not to mention that it will come back to life, and it will cure all diseases, and it is still okay to alleviate his situation.
"Then hurry"
Poria grabbed Yang Yan and said curiously, "Are you really willing to give this stranger to drink your blood?"
"Didn't the King of Medicine say that when you encounter a person in danger, you must do your best to save it, it's just a little blood," Yang Yan said lightly.
Poria let go of Yang Yan and said loudly: "Xiaolan, bring a pen and paper, and then give this Taishou decoction medicine."
The three people outside had been waiting for a long time, Long Lan hurriedly found a pen and paper, and Poria cocos wrote a few flavors of medicine on it and hurriedly asked Long Lan to fry it.
Although there are few medicinal materials in Fancheng now, there are still some of these kinds written by Poria Cocos, and soon Long Lan brought the medicine up, and was about to feed it to Taishou to drink, but was stopped by Poria Cocos.
"Xiaolan, you let Yang Yan feed him, he is in good health, if you get sick, it won't be good, let's go out"
Long Lan hesitated, but Yang Yan took the medicine with a smile and said, "It's okay, I'll go."
Long Lan hadn't decided yet, the medicine had been snatched away by Yang Yan, and she was also taken out by Poria Cocos, leaving Yang Yan alone in the room.
took out the wrapped sword and swiped it on his finger, a drop of blood flowed from Yang Yan's fingertip to the bowl, and before the second drop of blood came out, Yang Yan's cut finger had healed.
Yang Yan, who watched this scene, was amazed, "It turns out that this is what Poria said, the benefits of the body after transformation, the comfort of this healing is simply terrifying, no wonder Shang Fei has so many fierce attacks, but I am not injured at all."
Yang Yan thought, but his hand did not stop, and slowly poured the medicine into the mouth of Taishou Li Yi, and after all the medicine was drunk, Yang Yan put away the sword, walked out of the room, and nodded to Poria Cocos.
After a while, there was a violent coughing sound in the house, and a group of people outside rushed in, only to see Taishou's breathing began to slowly even, lying on the side of the bed and coughing violently, coughing out a few mouthfuls of foreign objects from time to time.
"Master, master, are you awake?" the old woman hurriedly stepped forward and patted Li Yi's back and shouted.
"Ahem, ahem, what's wrong with me?" Li Yi coughed violently a few times, looked at the old woman and asked.
"Master, you are also infected with the plague, it is these adults from Yunjing who have drunk and woken you up"
Li Yi only opened his eyes at this time and looked at the four strange figures standing in the room, Ai Yiming took out the sign engraved with a cloud and said: "Lord Li, under Ai Yiming, the chief of the Yunjing Sipin Guard, this time I passed by Fancheng, and saw a plague outbreak, so I came to ask what happened to report to Your Majesty."
Li Yi coughed violently a few times and said slowly: "Lord Ai, forgive Li for being rude, I can't greet you when I am sick."
"It's okay, can Master Li write this matter into a recital, and report it to Your Majesty urgently for eight hundred miles."
Li Yi shook his head in despair and said: "It's useless, fifteen days ago, I wrote three copies in a row and sent them to Yunjing, but unfortunately the stone sank into the sea and there was no news."
Li Yi said that tears flowed out, and he said angrily while coughing: "Ahem, hateful, I, the tens of thousands of people in Fancheng, are going to die in this plague, hateful, my Taishou can't win the world for the people, and what's even more hateful is that the surrounding Taishou actually ignored it, I'm ashamed of Your Majesty, and I'm ashamed of the people of Fancheng, cough cough cough."
"Li Taishou, don't get excited, calm down first. Long Lan said comfortingly.
Ai Yiming's heart was full of doubts at this time, and he asked, "Have you reported it? Isn't it in the hands of His Majesty? Why don't the surrounding counties support it?"
"Lord Ai, you have lived in Yunjing for a long time, don't you know that it is now a formality? Several princes are vying for the position of the crown prince, and they have divided the officials of Yunguo into several factions, but Li has always been loyal only to His Majesty and loyal to Yunguo, so he is naturally excluded by others."
"Hmph, it's really unreasonable, they are not afraid that this plague will spread, and it will not only be the tens of thousands of people in Fancheng who will die in the entire Yun Kingdom" Long Lan said angrily.
Li Yi said as if he was crazy: "Ahem, hahaha, who cares about a small Fancheng, now that the war in southern Xinjiang is tight, and Yunjing is in chaos again, who will care about this small Fancheng, cough cough cough"
"Master, master, don't talk about it" Seeing that Li Yiyou began to cough, his mood was very unstable, the old woman on the side hurriedly said.
"Brother Ai, what should I do, do you just watch?" Long Lan asked anxiously at this time.
Ai Yiming is also very anxious, but the Yang family can't interfere in this matter, and the news can't reach the emperor, and the surrounding counties are probably already able to stand in line, this Fancheng has become a lonely city at this time, and no one cares about the lives of the people in this city.
"I can cure this disease, mainly because there are not so many medicinal materials," Poria said slowly.
The people in the house looked at her, as if now, the lives of tens of thousands of people in the entire Fancheng were tied to Poria.
"Let's go to the neighboring counties to collect medicinal herbs, we can't just watch these people in Fancheng die," Long Lan said loudly.
Ai Yiming denied Long Lan's proposal, and said: "No, we don't have so much money, this matter must be brought forward by the imperial court, otherwise it will be difficult to extinguish this plague, and we will also be implicated."
Long Lan was very anxious at this time, and said eagerly: "This doesn't work, that doesn't work, so what should I do?"
Yang Yan thought about something while thinking, and then said: "Since the news of the treasure can be transmitted to the north and to Yunjing, why don't we spread the news of the plague here, so that the entire Yunguo knows about it, isn't there someone in charge of this matter?"
Yang Yan's words made Ai Yiming's eyes light up, but Li Yi shook his head and said: "Ahem, I can't disperse, as long as I send out a twist outside, it will be intercepted by them, unless I take refuge in a certain prince and determine my position, in order to keep the people of Fancheng."
"Li Taishou, you have a good rest, since my door knows the situation here, I will definitely help you solve it" Ai Yiming said and called Long Lan and they left the room.
When the four of them arrived outside, Ai Yiming said, "Just now...... What Brother Yang said makes sense, we can not come forward, but we can send the news out, with Uncle Qi's ability, within three days, the news will spread all over the country, and I don't think they will care about it when the time comes."
"Then you hurry up and write, tell Uncle Qi in detail about the situation here, and tell him that this matter is not too big, and we will also die of illness here," Long Lan said.
Ai Yiming's face was sweaty, what kind of logic is this, the matter is a big deal, in order to let the emperor know, otherwise tens of thousands of people in Fancheng will deserve to die of illness, but it can't be written according to Long Lan.
Ai Yiming said, immediately took out the carrier pigeon, wrote the message, tied it to the pigeon's feet, and sent it out. After finishing their business, the four of them found the old woman and lived in the Taishou Mansion.
In the center of Yunguo, in a small courtyard, a carrier pigeon landed in Qi Yangping's hand, looked at the news on it, shook his head and whispered: "If you cause some trouble, when will you let me save some snacks, but these princes have really gone too far."
"Someone Coming"
"In"
Qi Yangping wrote a note and handed it to the person who came, and instructed: "Send the news, I want to let this news spread throughout the entire Cloud Country within three days."
"Yes," the man took the note and retreated.
Not long after, dense carrier pigeons flew in all directions, and an explosive message was walking out to all parts of the cloud country.
......
In a teahouse in a city to the north, people were talking.
"Have you heard? There was a plague in Fancheng, and thousands of people died."
"I've heard that it's tens of thousands, people who have that disease, and their whole bodies are ulcering and dying"
"I heard that not only Fancheng, but also several surrounding counties have also had an epidemic"
"The plague is slowly approaching Yunjing, and it will soon be able to spread to Yunjing."
"Yesterday a relative of my uncle's second uncle family had a strange disease, similar to what you said."
"Tell me nonsense, where is the patient?"
"It's in the county next door"
"Could it be that the plague has spread to the north?"
"It's terrible, it's terrible, hurry home, there is no movement in the court"
......
Teahouses and restaurants all over the country were chatting about the plague in Fancheng, and for a while, the entire Yunguo was shrouded in the shadow of the plague, and many places where people gathered, business began to dim.
Biquan Villa
Ouyang Quan was sitting in the corner drinking tea with Ye Ming, the business of the entire villa was bleak, and occasionally a few passing guests left after eating something simple.
"Your villa business is not good, it looks like a loss-making business," Ye Ming said after taking a sip of tea.
"Drink your tea, you eat and live here for nothing, when will you settle the bill" Ouyang Quan glanced at Ye Ming.
"What kind of food and living for nothing, I came to help watch the scene, how do you know that you don't have anyone in this business at all?"
"I'm on the books, and when you have money, you have to pay me back with interest," Ouyang Quan glanced at Ye Ming coldly and said.
"You really don't have a human touch, but it's good to just do some business, and you can be at ease"
The two chatted sentence by sentence, and suddenly the job came over, standing beside the two, Ouyang Quan saw that he was about to say again, and he also glanced at Ye Ming, and said unmindfully: "Say it"
"Zhuang Master, the Qilin Sword has arrived in Yunjing and sent to the Second Prince's Mansion"
"Well, got it"
"Also, there was a sudden news on the rivers and lakes that there was a plague in Fancheng and it had begun to spread outward, but the imperial court did not have any rescue action."
"Hmm, I don't care about this?" Ye Ming asked in surprise, but no one answered his words.
"How many dead and wounded?, where did this news come from?" asked Ouyang Quan slowly.
"It is rumored that there were more than 10,000 dead and wounded, and corpses were piled up at the gate of Fancheng. The news was sent by Yunjing, and I still don't know who has such a great ability, within three days, the entire Yun Kingdom that has been spread, His Majesty is furious, and has sent the four princesses to"
"My three good brothers, they really did a good thing, in order to fight for a Li Yi, they actually gave up the lives of tens of thousands of people in Fancheng," Ouyang Quan said with some anger.
"Who in the Cloud Kingdom can have this ability? Except for the Meteorite Pavilion, it is the Flying Crane Tower, what do you say?" Ouyang Quan continued.
"It's the fourth princess who went to Fancheng?" Ye Ming's eyes lit up, as if he was interested.
"What? You want to go to Fancheng, that's the plague land, aren't you afraid of dying there?" Ouyang Quan looked at him with a smile on his face.
"I have long heard that the fourth princess is as beautiful as a fairy, she is the first beauty in the Yun Kingdom, it is rare for her to come out for activities, I have to go and see it, otherwise I am afraid it will be difficult to see" Ye Ming got up and said excitedly.
"Come on, you'd better not provoke her, since the disappearance of King Yingchuan, he seems to have changed as a person" Ouyang Quan shook his head, and a beautiful figure appeared in his mind.
"I'll just take a look from afar," Ye Ming said and left, but was stopped by Ouyang Quan.
"Wait, I've paid for the accommodation for these days."
Ye Ming's face twitched a little, and he said loudly: "I haven't paid you for medicine yet, you actually care about my medicine accommodation fee, no"
"You have lived with me for five days, serving good wine, good food and tea every day, one hundred taels a day, a total of five hundred taels, you don't want to take anywhere if you don't have money" Ouyang Quan said solemnly.
"Yo, can you keep me?
"I can't keep you, but I can ask your father for this money"
Hearing this, Ye Ming was like a refreshing eggplant, and he lost his hardness for a while, Ouyang Quan saw that he was deflated, and said slowly: "Since there is a plague in Fancheng, there must be a lot of medicinal materials, if we buy some medicinal materials and sell them there, we will definitely make a fortune."
"Owner, don't," he said.
"This is good, I'll help you, when you make money, our account will be written off," Ye Ming's eyes lit up and he said.
"Yes," Ouyang Quan said slowly.
"Then let's go, I'm afraid that someone will take the lead, and then you won't be able to sell those medicinal herbs," Ye Ming said and walked outside.
"You stay here, I'll go out for a walk, don't worry, with him, safety or something can still be guaranteed" Ouyang Quan finished talking to the work, and followed Ye Ming out of Biquan Villa.
On the other side, in Fancheng, Li Yi's illness also began to improve, but people in the city were dying every day, and people were constantly getting sick.
Three days later, someone successively brought medicinal materials to Fancheng, but the amount is still too small, for the city with a population of tens of thousands, it is just a drop in the bucket, Poria cocos first cured Li Yi's disease, so that the people in the city have the hope of living, and the latter can only be seriously treated first, to ensure that there are a few fewer deaths.
