The name of the handsome bearded uncle is Hu Bugui, he is a rich man in Wanggui City. As soon as he heard the name, he knew that when he was young, he also had the dream of being a hero, so he was very fond of Qingyue and Ling Xinger. Heroes of the rivers and lakes are very envious and fond of them as soon as they meet, and even offered to ask for advice on two tricks.
Hu Dingding whispered: "My father's waist and legs are not good." Then he complained, "Father, he is here to find someone, so you should stop gesticulating with that big knife. More than 20 years ago, the third master of Jiangjia Villa, Jiang Nanshu, do you still have any memories?"
Hu Bugui said without hesitation, "No."
Ling Xing'er: "..."
Hu Dingding muttered: "I don't think so either."
Ling Xing'er was puzzled: "Why? That should have happened many years ago, but the senior answered it so readily... Can you think about it again?"
Because of this "Senior", Hu Bugui's face became more and more rosy and proud. Hu Dingding explained that there is no need for the heroine to doubt. My father said he had never seen it, so he must have never seen it, otherwise for so many years, he would not be allowed to "lived in the same village with the third master of the Jiang family, and even talked to him." After a few words "Such glorious deeds have been blown over and over again eight hundred times? You must know that there was a Hanako who came to the Hu family to beg for food, and my father showed off his "personal relationship with the elder of the Eight Bags of the Beggar Gang" for three whole months.
Hu Bugui guessed: "Could it be because of a different identity?"
Qingyue thought, it was possible, after all, Jiangnan Shu came here only to take care of his body, naturally, the less people disturb him, the better. So he told Yun Yifeng all the old things in the past in detail, including the appearance, body shape, age of Jiang and his wife, and the new born child.
This said, Hu Bugui really had an impression. During that time, there was indeed such a couple who lived here for a long time. They claimed to be from Sioux City. They were very handsome, but they rarely interacted with the villagers. As for the child... it seems that they gave birth to a child.
Ling Xing'er was surprised: "Birth?"
Hu didn't answer, it's not good to say.
It's hard to say, because the couple closed the door on weekdays and rarely came out to chat with others. In winter, they were wrapped in thick cotton jackets, and there was no change in the woman's figure. But Hu Bugui was young at the time, he was having a great time doing Jianghu Dameng, and he didn't have much interest in spying on this strange family from his hometown. Steady woman. Later, a woman with a bad mouth went to inquire, and the other housekeeper said that she had picked up Wen Po from outside and had already sent her away. After another seven or eight days, even the house was locked, and the family moved somewhere, but they never showed up again.
Hu Bugui said regretfully, "So it was Jiang Sanye?"
Qingyue asked: "Even if you live in isolation, you always have to go out to buy daily necessities, right? But you can still find old friends like Chai Fu, vegetable farmers and shopkeepers?"
"Well..." Hu Bugui thought for a long time, then slapped his thigh, "There is one, follow me!"
Qingyue originally thought that this person was in the village, but who knew that the housekeeper of the Hu Mansion had even prepared the carriage, and after a long day and a night of traveling, they found an old tailor from a village dozens of miles away. Hu Dingding said triumphantly: "My father thinks that although those who sell vegetables and firewood have dealt with the servants of Jiang's family, they may not have heard of them. Only this tailor personally made clothes for the little baby back then. .”
Ling Xing'er clasped her fists and said softly, "Senior is really thoughtful."
Hu Bugui stroked his long beard and said, "Thank you, thank you." Then he asked the old woman, "Aunt Niu, do you still remember this incident?"
"Remember." The old lady just received a big ingot from Hu Dingding, and she was very happy, and hurriedly said, "I remember that family, and the money was very generous. They only asked me to make thirteen or four sets of cotton clothes and bedding. A gold ingot was rewarded."
"Has Aunt Niu seen that little baby?"
"I just took a look, and it was tightly wrapped." Aunt Niu said, "It is said that he was just born, and the clothes that can be made are quite big, and ordinary dolls who are half a year old may not be able to wear them properly. He is a strong boy. "
Qingyue and Ling Xing'er thought to themselves, there were only one servant girl, one housekeeper and one cook living together with Jiang's couple in the water town, two of them are no longer alive, and the other one also left Jiang's mansion early in the morning, I don't know where he went Going to relatives everywhere, trying to find her is tantamount to finding a needle in a haystack.
Aunt Niu interjected and said, "There is another man."
Qingyue's heart moved: "Who is it?"
"I don't know who it is." Aunt Niu wiped her hands on the apron, "A man, about 30 years old, looks thin and small, has a big black mole on his hand, and the baby is crying like a cat." Can't stop, he came out of the house to coax him, and he will behave as soon as he hugs him."
Qingyue asked: "Senior Hu, do you have any impression of this person?"
Hu Bugui shook his head, he didn't remember at all, there is such a person
"Go to Jiang's house and ask." Ling Xing'er said. The baby was crying, and even Mrs. Jiang couldn't coax it well, but the thin man behaved as soon as he hugged him. Obviously he was very familiar with the baby, and it was probably because he carried him from somewhere else that he could get so close.
At dusk, Hu Bugui and Hu Dingding stood at the entrance of the village, father and son both carrying long swords, watching the pair of young heroes leave affectionately, feeling that they had participated in a great event.
Very happy, very happy.
…
Another rain fell in Yuli City.
It was damp everywhere, and when it was steamed by the evening sun, it was like being in a huge steamer. Even the fat mink lost his appetite due to the heat, and lay on the table dying, unwilling to move more. Yun Yifeng rolled up her sleeves, and shook a folding fan in her hand for a long time, neither one person nor the other seemed cool at all, but Mu Chengxue, who was next to her, still sat motionless. I don't know if it's a psychological effect, but Yun Yifeng always feels that this killer with extremely cold internal energy is like a big ice lump for cooling down, so he keeps moving towards him until he sits side by side on the soft couch.
Mu Chengxue: "..."
Yun Yifeng had a calm face, so I will take a rest.
Mu Chengxue didn't drive him away, but continued to concentrate on wiping his sword: "Just passing by the kitchen, the military doctor is decocting medicine."
Yun Yifeng frowned, decoction
There were only five or six people living in the inn, and the centipede went to the Lamu forest early in the morning to investigate, and the only one who was sick was... Master Yunmen hurried to the back kitchen to see that His Royal Highness Xiao Wang was really holding a bowl of medicinal soup, and closed his eyes Hold your breath and pour it down. The military doctor stood aside with his hands in his hands and bumped him with his elbow, my lord, my lord!
Ji Yanran almost choked, put down the empty bowl, and said in a bit of embarrassment: "You go down first."
The military doctor agreed, and before leaving, he whispered in Yun Yifeng's ear that the prince is fine, but he is tired from days and the weather is hot and humid, so he has a fever.
"Why don't you tell me." Yun Yifeng stepped forward and wiped the sweat on his forehead with his sleeve, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, "I have to hide here after taking medicine."
"Small problem, just get a good night's sleep, I don't want to make you worry." Ji Yanran explained, "There are still a lot of things at the barracks, and I can't be absent."
Yun Yifeng took his hand: "Take a break, even half an hour's sleep is fine."
Ji Yanran tried to argue with reason: "Huang Wuding is still waiting... Hey!"
Yun Yifeng directly grabbed the man's silkworm belt, carried him up to the second floor of the inn, and leaped into the air. That's right, a giant white elephant can be dragged with one hand, and it can't hold a prince in this area
"Tell Commander Huang, let him go to other things first." After Yun Yifeng ordered the guards, he ordered the door to be closed and took off his clothes.
Ji Yanran sighed, stretched out his hand to let him loosen his outer robe, and said, "I really have to go at night, so I'll just sleep for half an hour, huh?"
"Okay." Yun Yifeng said helplessly, "Go to sleep, I will accompany you."
A wrung-out handkerchief was placed on his forehead, and the coolness took away some dizziness. Ji Yanran fell asleep quickly, and he was indeed tired. Yun Yifeng sat on the step stool, hugging her knees with her hands, as if she had returned to that night in Star City, even the faint scent of jasmine floating in the air was the same, but her mood was quite different. From a ignorance separated by thousands of layers of veils, it turned into an admiration that almost burned the whole heart. Seeing the deep fatigue between the brows, Yun Yifeng felt a little distressed. He bent down and gently touched his cheeks. Paste his slightly hot palm.
There are so many people in this beam, 128.3 million, why is it you who want to guard the safety of this entire country.
The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and even the chirping of cicadas outside the window is muted.
Later, Ji Yanran went to Daying again, and Yun Yifeng helped him tidy up the case. It happened that several Fengyumen disciples also came back, and they said that they found a few tribesmen in the remote mountain forest further south. It has some connection with Lei San.
The clothes of those people are quite distinctive, the totem tattoos on their arms are exactly the same as Lei San's, and their accents are also very strange. They are extremely rare members of the Chanli tribe. Claiming to be in the tribe, there was indeed a man who was strong in martial arts, flexible in mind, but poor in moral character, so he was expelled by the patriarch early on. Later, he heard that he joined the Mustang tribe, but he didn't know if it was true or not.
The face and figure of the expelled man sounded 80% similar to Lei San. The Chanli tribe continued: "If he really has these tattoos on his body, there will be no mistakes. Our population is small, with a total of more than 20 households. He is the only one who has been expelled in recent years."
Yun Yifeng frowned slightly, Lei San is a member of the Yema tribe, it seems to be an indisputable fact now, what about Aunt Yu and Fu'er? Is it because of the close relationship with him that Lei San deliberately tries to get close to them, or... are they all from the same group
If it's the latter possibility, it's okay to say, it's just a little uncomfortable in my heart. But if it is the former, then Fu'er must be in danger and become a hostage now, and he has to rescue her first no matter what.
The disciple of Fengyumen said: "The whereabouts of Lei San and Fu'er have not been found out yet. The prince ordered to empty Yuli City, and the people in other places thought there would be a catastrophe, and many of them also packed their bags and fled northward, so now The entire southern region is in chaos, and there are long queues at the gate of the city every day, so it is really difficult to find clues."
"It's been hard work for you too." Yun Yifeng said, "Go back and rest first, and make a plan for the next step after I discuss with the prince."
As for Aunt Yu, she has been arranged to live in a nearby village these days. According to the guards in charge of protecting her, they only mentioned once that if the prince and the sect master no longer need someone to take care of her, could she be sent to Dianhua City to join her daughter and son-in-law? They cook at home, do laundry, take care of their grandchildren, and do some embroidery, and nothing unusual can be seen.
But if there is no abnormality, she must be taken back to Yuli City, whether it is for guarding or protecting. Yun Yifeng set off overnight and rode his horse to the small village. He was more distracted and did not lead the soldiers and horses to make a big show. The guards at the gate wanted to say hello after seeing him, but they were stopped by light boos.
"Aunt Yu has caught the heat recently, so she went to bed early in the morning." The guard lowered his voice.
Yun Yifeng nodded, seeing that the sky was bright at this time, he knocked on the door and said, "Auntie."
The people in the room didn't respond, they were still lying under the quilt, motionless.
"Auntie?" Yun Yifeng knocked twice, stretched out his hand and opened the door, "Auntie."
He deliberately pushed it a little harder, and the door panel slammed against the wall with a "bang", and the person on the bed was awakened. He sat up on his back and asked in amazement, "Why is the master of the Yunmen here?"
"I happened to be passing by, so I came to see my aunt." Yun Yifeng stood at the door, "I knocked on the door twice but it didn't open, so I thought my aunt was sick."
"My throat is hoarse due to the heat." Aunt Yu coughed twice, "Come and sit down."
"It's really hot these days." Yun Yifeng opened the folding fan and said calmly, "I still want to go to my aunt's place to make a bowl of ice jade jade soup to reduce fire. I drank it once in the Northeast, and I have been thinking about it until now."
Aunt Yu smiled vaguely, "Hey."
Yun Yifeng stopped.
Aunt Yu lifted the quilt tremblingly, and seemed to want to get out of bed, but a red light and shadow flew out from the bed curtain, Yun Yifeng's eyebrows sharpened, and with a flip of the folding fan between her fingers, the red snake was knocked down on the ground. On the ground, another cold shadow followed. Aunt Yu held a long sword in a vicious move, her eyes were like the pupils of a snake, and the red poisonous snake that fell on the ground opened its mouth wide, trying to bite Yun Yifeng's calf again, but was cut in two by the sword instead.
"Where's Aunt Yu!" Yun Yifeng asked forcefully, drawing his sword.
"Master Yunmen can see clearly." Seeing that the sneak attack failed, the fake "Aunt Yu" sneered, seemed to want to speak, but suddenly spun around and broke the window frame, and rolled on the ground, imagining that Yuying was in the northwest The same, fleeing under the ground, who knows that Yun Yifeng stabbed him into the ground with a sword, and almost stabbed him in the stomach.
The other party screamed, blood gushed out, and his eyes were terrified: "You..."
"That's right, I've learned it too." Yun Yifeng squatted in front of him, reaching out to tear off the disguise mask, "Do you know who created the technique of escaping from the ground? The famous flying thief more than a hundred years ago, Kong Konger And now the most skilled snitch in Daliang, the orthodox heir of Kong Konger for countless generations, is in the Daliang barracks, sighing and frying vegetables for the killer and the mink.
Several guards stepped forward quickly to stop the man's bleeding. Another guard was worried and said beside him: "We are indeed guarding Aunt Yu every step of the way, and we have never found anything abnormal. This..."
The man was already unconscious, Yun Yifeng ordered: "Take him back first."
Everything in the house was as usual, there was no trace of fighting, and no clues could be found. It should be that Aunt Yu was dropped by someone when she was out shopping, doing laundry, or relaxing. As for the purpose of this imposter—whether he wants to sneak attack like today, or wants to sneak into the barracks again, looking for opportunities to assassinate more people, we have to wait for him to wake up before interrogating him carefully.
In the inn, Yun Yifeng supported his head, looked at the half of the bleak crescent moon, and sighed.
Ji Yanran comforted: "Aunt Yu is not worthless to them, and Fu'er is the same, so the mother and daughter should not be in danger for the time being."
"I should have sent them back to Wangcheng long ago." Yun Yifeng patted his forehead and sighed, "I really don't have enough brains."
"You didn't know there was something wrong with Lei San beforehand, so don't blame yourself." Ji Yanran held his wrist, "One more thing, when the military doctor was examining the man, he found a red birthmark on his arm." So ten At that time in Bashanzhuang, it should be the person who fanned the flames in the Xu family, pretended to be a teacher, and spread rumors in the city.
With such a "heavy responsibility", his status in the Mustang tribe will not be too low. Ji Yanran poured tea for him: "Bringing him back alive is also due to Liang, and I should reward you."
"Not in the mood." Yun Yifeng stood up, "There is still one thing I can't figure out."
Ji Yanran guessed: "Lei San's purpose?"
Yun Yifeng nodded: "Yes."
If the other party is a member of the Mustang tribe, why did he take the initiative to confess to the wizard Changyou? Continue to keep this pawn, let him create more poisonous poison, and turn the beasts and poisonous snakes in the whole Lamu forest into murderous weapons, causing more and bigger troubles for Liang, isn't it good
Yun Yifeng said: "Unless it is for a greater benefit."
Ji Yanran was thoughtful. Lei San's actions had only two consequences. One was the turmoil in the southern region, and a large number of people went north; It will cause weak deployment and control in other areas.
"Come here!" Ji Yanran said, "Get Huang Wuding here!"
Yun Yifeng was a little worried: "My lord..."
"You go to interrogate that man in black, no matter what method you use, you have to pry his mouth open." Ji Yanran patted his face, "It's hard work." After finishing speaking, he left the bedroom, Yun Yifeng sighed, and opened it again That volume of topographic maps of the Southwest on the table. Although the Southern Territory is not as vast as the Northwest, and the distances between the garrisons are not too far, but the terrain is really complicated. Sometimes a short road on the map will take half a month. If there is a sudden war in a certain place at this time, How to quickly support the army in Yuli City is indeed a difficult problem, no wonder Ji Yanran is so worried.
He turned around and went to the prison. The man was lying on the bed half dead with a bandage around his waist. When he saw Yun Yifeng coming in, he simply closed his eyes and snorted contemptuously from his nose.
"Still unwilling to say anything?" Yun Yifeng asked.
The man said: "If you have the guts, kill me."
"I won't kill you." Yun Yifeng reminded coldly, "But don't think that you won't be tortured because you are seriously injured. There are plenty of medicines in Fengyumen, which can hang your life at the same time. , making your life worse than death."
The man said: "Then you can try."
On this issue, the master of Yunmen was very cooperative, and immediately tried it—now that the situation is critical, and there is really no time for detailed interrogation, the disciples of Fengyumen swarmed up, and before the man had time to react, he was fed with unknown medicine .
"ah!"
"I'll come back in an hour." Yun Yifeng said, "If you still refuse to tell me by then, I still have a new idea."
The man was limp all over, only glaring at him feebly.
But soon, even the strength to stare at him was gone.
After a whole night like this, at dawn, he finally let go, and said in a trembling voice, "Dianhua City."
…
Yun Yifeng hurried to the commander's camp, and before entering the big tent, he saw a cavalry galloping towards him, out of breath and rolling off his horse: "Report! Dianhua City, Dianhua City, there are traitors standing up for themselves King, it's the other way around!"
And he's not just an ordinary bandit, but a thug, a real thug, with a whole well-equipped army under his command. Although the garrison near Dianhua City has already gone to destroy it, but the opponent has a large number of people and is good at making all kinds of hidden weapons, so it only took less than a day and a night to capture Dianhua City, and designated it as the capital of the king and the name of the country. As for the…
The cavalry mustered up their courage for a long time, and then they rebelled and declared that the country was named "Tunliang".
It is more of a national title than a blatant threat and humiliation. Yun Yifeng glanced at Ji Yanran, and said: "According to the man's confession, the Yema tribe has devoted themselves to management for many years, and has recruited more than 50,000 soldiers and horses. There are less than 5,000 people in the underground palace, and the rest are hiding outside Dianhua City. In the Feiniao Mountain. Although there are not many people, most of them use Gu to nourish their bodies, kung fu is evil, and it is difficult to deal with."
Ji Yanran asked: "Where are Ling Fei and Aunt Yu?"
"Brother Jiang seems to have been in confinement. He has never seen it, only heard about it. Aunt Yu was tied up in the underground palace three days ago." Yun Yifeng said, "The situation in Dianhua City is critical. You don't have to worry about Aunt Yu anymore, I will find a way to save her."
Ji Yanran nodded: "The other party is cunning, you should also be more careful."
Yun Yifeng returned to the place where the prisoners were held. He still has many things to ask, such as the entrance to the underground palace. The man was dying, shook his head and said: "The underground palace was built according to the ancient formation. Now that I am missing, they must have sealed the door, and it will never be found again."
The ground centipede interjected: "You only know that door?"
"Yes." The man said, "There are thirteen people in charge in the underground palace, and each person can only enter and exit through his own door."
It couldn't be more cautious.
On the other side, Ji Yanran is urgently mobilizing an army, led by Huang Wuding himself, to go north to suppress the rebellion. Most of the soldiers in this army had their ancestors living in the southwest, so they were quite familiar with the terrain and the weather, so they were fully equipped overnight and set off in a mighty way.
This is a night that is destined not to be silent, the barracks is full of chaos, and the torches wind up the mountain path like a giant dragon, illuminating the entire sky. Ji Yanran stood on a high place, and what was flying in the night, whether it was rain or mist, made everything in the world hazy.
I don't know how long it took before there was the sound of footsteps behind him, Yun Yifeng hugged him, put his face on his back, and said muffledly: "Why did the prince come here, let me find it easier."
"Yeah." Ji Yanran came back to her senses, "I want to come out and blow some air."
Yun Yifeng said: "There are hundreds of mad elephants in Lamu Forest, even if we guessed that the other party was cheating at that time, the prince still needs to send troops here."
"But at least we can be more cautious." Ji Yanran had a headache, "But the matter has come to this point, it's useless to say more."
"It's useless to talk more, just as useless to stand here." Yun Yifeng grabbed his wrist, "Go, come back with me."
Ji Yanran shook her hand back, pulled the person into her arms and hugged her tightly, the faint fragrance of jasmine radiated from the snow-white sleeves, it was rare to be refreshed in this muddle-headed moment. He said hoarsely, "I'm tired."
"I know." Yun Yifeng patted him on the back and coaxed, "Just sleep and it will be fine."
Ji Yanran responded, "Yes."
Seeing that he only spoke but stood still, Yun Yifeng tried: "Why don't I carry the prince back?"
Ji Yanran paused for a moment, then hugged him horizontally, Feishuangjiao came along the silvery road, caught the two of them steadily, and ran towards the camp.
…
For the next few days, the Lamu forest was calm and calm. Whether it was the battle in Dianhua City, or Zhuer, Changyou and the man named Wuli who pretended to be Aunt Yu assassinated Yun Yifeng were bound, nothing seemed to be a problem to Partridge. Gu, Yuying and Xie Hanyan had no influence. The ground centipede held a bunch of tools every day, calculating around in the woods to find the entrance, while Mu Chengxue followed the snitch with a blank face, every step of the way, to prevent him from being killed.
Deep underground, Yuying said: "That centipede seems to have some skills, if it keeps going like this, I'm afraid he will find the entrance sooner or later."
"The entrance of the underground palace will change from time to time according to the formation. Even if he has great abilities, he will not be able to break the ancient formation for a while. You don't have to worry." Xie Hanyan said, "But the time left for His Royal Highness Xiao Wang is indeed Running out."
"Yes." Yuying echoed, "You and I were right in our previous speculation. Judging from Ji Yanran's deployment of troops, we were all led by the nose. How can it be half as good as the great general back then."
"It's just a bragging dude." Xie Hanyan sat on a high place, "How is Ling Fei these two days?"
"Still refusing to talk, just fiddling with the jade in her hand every day." Yuying probed, "I'm afraid my sister will have to persuade her again."
"It's unworthy." Xie Hanyan half-closed his eyes, and said with hatred, "If he had been willing to do it earlier, killing Li Jing and Ji Yanran, the world of the Li family would have been in chaos long ago, so why would you and I bother to plan?" .”
Yuying also regretted: "If I had known that he would not be the leader of the martial arts alliance, nor would he be able to kill the Li family, I might as well have brought him back earlier and let my sister take care of him personally, so as to save all these messy thoughts and waste of effort."
…
This afternoon, the cook in the camp cooked a bowl of herbal tea, brought it to Ji Yanran, and smiled apologetically, "My lord, let's eat something to cool off the heat."
Ji Yanran was dizzy, looking at the bowl of black stuff, she lost her appetite: "Let's put it away for now."
The cook had an idea: "Master Yunmen cooked it himself."
When Ji Yanran heard this, she put down the battle report in her hand, took it and drank it down. It tastes sour and bitter, mixed with medicinal residues, it really looks like someone's handwriting.
The cook is all smiles.
Ji Yanran shook her head: "Tell Yun'er, tell him not to work any more and go down."
The cook agreed, and was just about to pack up his things and leave when he looked up and saw Ji Yanran's face turned pale, so he hurriedly asked, "My lord is not feeling well?"
Ji Yanran waved her hands, trying to support herself to stand up, but her knees gave way and she almost fell to the ground, and the scene in front of her was shaking from side to side.
"My lord! My lord!" The cook was almost scared out of his wits, so he quickly supported him and shouted loudly. The military doctor and Yun Yifeng came in a hurry, and the cook tremblingly said with a mournful face, "I... just coaxed the prince to drink a bowl of herbal tea, and it ended like this, I..."
"What medicinal tea?" Yun Yifeng sat by the bed and asked Ji Yanran while taking his pulse.
"It's just ordinary clear fire tea, brewed in more than ten barrels, everyone wants to drink it." The cook said, "The prince refused to drink it, so I lied and said that Master Yunmen brewed it himself. I... I really don't have anything else. Meaning."
"I know, Uncle Wu, don't be nervous, the prince is not poisoned." Yun Yifeng said, "It should be heatstroke."
Only then did the cook breathe a sigh of relief, and said, I was scared to death, I was scared to death.
The military doctor looked at it for Ji Yanran, but his face was startled, and he said: "Master Yunmen, my lord, he seems... like..."
"What is it like?" Yun Yifeng asked.
The military doctor said, "I got the plague."
Yun Yifeng's pupils suddenly constricted.
At the same time, in the big camp outside, soldiers also showed the same symptoms one after another, all of them were dizziness, weakness, abdominal pain and vomiting. The hot and humid land is already an area with a high incidence of plague, and often a disease is a large area. Several military doctors knew that this matter was no small matter, so they got busy without touching the ground, setting up a cauldron to cook medicine in the army, and Yun Yifeng, together with several lieutenants, arranged the soldiers infected with the epidemic to Yuli in batches. in the city.
"It's so good, why did the plague suddenly break out." Dr. Liu Jun wiped his sweat and said worriedly, "The diet is already careful and clean, and the anti-disease medicinal soup is distributed to the army on time every day. This Yuli City also No outsiders come in and out, where did the disease come from?"
Doctor Zhang speculated: "Could it be that the hands and feet were stabbed by ghosts and poisoned the water?"
"The Liuzhu River passes through Yuli City first, and then enters Lamu Forest. The river is wide and the water is fast and turbulent. It is not easy to poison it. It is more likely to be mice or insects." Yun Yi Feng asked, "Is this disease easy to cure?"
"It's hard to say." Doctor Li frowned, "I've never seen it before, and there is no ready-made prescription available."
"I have sent people to the north to pick up Senior Mei, a famous doctor." Yun Yifeng said, "You are all experienced old doctors, please find a way, at least to control the epidemic first, and it must not spread to other places in the southwest .”
All the military doctors took orders: "Yes!"
He was busy until the middle of the night, when Yun Yifeng returned to Yuli City, the guard whispered, "My lord woke up once in the afternoon, and fell asleep after taking the medicine. He didn't seem to be in good spirits, and he didn't eat anything."
The door squeaked, but Ji Yanran was not awakened, and just continued to sleep in a drowsy state. Yun Yifeng sat by the bed, stroked his cheek lightly with his fingers, seeing the sickly sleeping face, felt a pain in his heart. I'm afraid it was because I was too tired a while ago and refused to take a good rest that I contracted this dangerous epidemic.
Ji Yanran opened her eyes: "Yun'er."
"Go to sleep." Yun Yifeng patted his hands, "I'm outside, don't worry."
Ji Yanran sat up propped up, panting heavily, her voice cracked: "Let the army withdraw."
Yun Yifeng was taken aback: "What?"
"Let the army...cough cough!" Ji Yanran still wanted to speak, but coughed violently, Yun Yifeng quickly took the copper basin under the bed, and patted his back, "Don't worry, let's go."
Ji Yanran had abdominal cramps, and vomited all the gruel she ate earlier, dizzy and dizzy after rinsing her mouth, but saw Yun Yifeng squatting on the ground, carefully looking at the filth that she had just vomited out, So he frowned: "Yun'er, call the deputy future."
Yun Yifeng raised his head and murmured: "I understand."
"Yes." Ji Yanran supported the bed with one hand, her eyes were bloodshot, "I'm afraid we were fooled."
A while ago, I was always dizzy, and most likely it was a symptom after being infected with the plague, and it just dragged on until now. If this is indeed the case, just thinking about how many villages, towns and cities the army that set out that month ago and headed northward to Dianhua City makes one's heart tremble with fear.
"Leave it to me, and I will take care of it." Yun Yifeng helped him lie down, "Don't worry, my lord, I know what to do."
Ji Yanran's lips were pale, and he took off the tiger talisman and stuffed it into his palm, enduring the severe pain and dizziness and said: "Let the Southwest Army withdraw, or stay where it is, and send my tiger talisman to Hanyang City, and give it to the commander Zhou Jiong, order He dispatched new troops from Yunze City and the Central Plains to support Dianhua City as soon as possible."
"I understand." Yun Yifeng nodded, "I'll go right away."
He summoned the guards and ordered him to take good care of Ji Yanran, while he summoned the military doctor with a copper basin and said, "This is something the prince just spit out, and part of it is the same as the yellow spray from the elephant's trunk when the wild elephant attacked." The mucus is the same, which is presumably the source of the outbreak."
Only then did everyone suddenly realize, and hurriedly said: "Master Yunmen, don't worry, we are looking up ancient medical books and will prepare prescriptions as soon as possible."
After arranging the military doctor, Yun Yifeng turned around and went to the prison, grabbed Wuli from the bed, and said angrily, "Say!"
"What did you say?" Uli's head was covered in cold sweat from the pain caused by the wound, but a sinister smile leaked from his eyes, "Why, the epidemic finally broke out?"
"No wonder," Yun Yifeng looked at him, "No wonder Lei San would take the initiative to confess to Zhang You and let us know about the giant elephant in advance."
Even if those hundreds of giant elephants or even more crazy beasts really rampaged into Yuli City, Daliang would lose at most one city and more than ten thousand people. But if Ji Yanran had known in advance, he would definitely transfer troops from other places. At that time, if the partridges released the mad elephants carrying the epidemic, tens of thousands of troops would suffer.
"The main force of the wild horse tribe is hidden outside Dianhua City. There are not many people in the underground palace. It is absolutely impossible for the prince to send an army, so you can only use crazy elephants." Yun Yifeng gritted his teeth, "After the elephants are wiped out, Lei San repeatedly rebelled suddenly, just to lure the army to go north, so as to spread the epidemic along the way. Thousands of people are innocent, you are really guilty and deserve to die!"
"It's just that the well-known His Royal Highness King Xiao is so easy to deceive, he is invincible, bah." Wu Li said, "Do you know how cunning General Lu was back then? That's the world The only god of war, the son of the Li family, deserves to be compared with him?"
"My lord only wants to keep the peace of the world, and never thought of being a God of War." Yun Yifeng grabbed his collar, "Is the epidemic caused by ghost thorns? What is the antidote?"
"There is no cure, just wait for death." Wu Li said lightly, and then suddenly moved forward, almost touching his forehead with Yun Yifeng, "If it wasn't for General Lu, I would have died a long time ago. When the southwest was in turmoil, I I am forced to be a slave to the nobles, and you have suffered so much that you may not have imagined it, and you are still afraid of the torture of mere Fengyumen? I should have died after luring the army to Dianhua City, but I don’t want to die, I I want to wait until the epidemic breaks out before I die." As he spoke, a stream of blood gushed out of his mouth, and he said with difficulty, "The Li family... all deserve to die."
Yun Yifeng squeezed his chin open with one hand, but Wu Li died. After the guard checked, he reported, "There is a poison sac hidden in the tooth."
"Go and call some lieutenants and tell me that I have something important to do." Yun Yifeng shook his head, turned around and strode out of the prison.
There are dozens of deputy commanders in Yuli City, a few fell ill, and now there are four left. After listening to Yun Yifeng talking about the mad elephant, everyone was very surprised. If the army brought out by Huang Wuding really had the epidemic, then... a big mess would happen!
"My lord means that no matter whether there is an epidemic in the army or not, we must let them withdraw quickly, or find a nearby station to stand by, and we must not continue to go north." Yun Yifeng said, "As for the battle in Dianhua City, it will be handed over to Hanyang. Commander of the city and Zhou, dispatch troops from the Central Plains and Yunze City to support."
Lieutenant General Li reminded: "But it is not a trivial matter to deploy soldiers and horses in the Central Plains. In case something goes wrong... can we meet the prince first?"
"My lord is seriously ill, and has been in a drowsy state." Yun Yifeng said, "That's why I'm looking for you to discuss countermeasures."
"If it is determined that the epidemic is caused by mad elephants, then it is really not suitable for the army to continue going north." Lieutenant General Li said, "Removing troops from the Central Plains is the only way, but we don't know how many troops are hidden in Dianhua City. Therefore, if the army is broken, then... the prince may have to bear a heavy responsibility."
"I understand." Yun Yifeng said, "The prince also said that the only way to do this is to transfer troops from the Central Plains. I invite you all to come here late at night, just to see if there is another way. If everyone agrees, there is only one way. There is a way to go, the prince will take on this responsibility. Also, now that the morale of the army is not stable, although there should not be many people left in the Lamu forest, and the other party will not send troops to make a surprise attack, you still have to save some time Don't let the thieves take advantage of the loophole."
The lieutenants responded in unison, and each went to work.
Yun Yifeng wrote a letter with his own hand, recruited the disciple of Fengyumen, and ordered him to take the tiger talisman and rush to Hanyang City to find the leader Zhou Jiong.
The disciple was puzzled: "Why are there two tiger talismans?"
"Give him the smaller one first, it's best if he can get over it." Yun Yifeng said, "If Zhou Jiong was as careful as a hair and realized something was wrong, then give him the bigger one. I met a bad person, so I made a fake one in advance, but I accidentally got it wrong."
The disciple took the order and left. Mu Chengxue was leaning on the roof beam, stroking the ferret with her finger: "Are you afraid that if the war changes, you are afraid that the step of transferring troops from the Central Plains will be a foolish move, so you want to make a fake tiger charm and take the responsibility on yourself?"
"If Zhou Jiong accepts the fake tiger talisman, then everything has nothing to do with the prince." Yun Yifeng slowly straightened his pen and ink, "But if he really can't deceive him, the responsibility can only be left to the prince, not Dianhua City in spite of."
Mu Chengxue turned over and landed on the ground: "The reason why he sent you to pull your fingers back then was not for today."
"I know." Yun Yifeng hugged Fat Diao: "That's why I am more willing."
