Gu Huaian didn't feel that the situation in front of him was controllable by him, but if he chose to leave at this time, he would have no way to figure out the situation in the city today, not to mention that he came here often alone today. if…
When Gu Huaian walked out of the alley, he had already felt that the people behind him seemed to be getting closer to him, but at this time, he had no time to think about it. He only felt that if he fell into trouble in this place, , but it’s really not worth it.
Gu Huaian continued to walk forward, but a person suddenly appeared from the fork in the road ahead, blocking Gu Huaian's path.
"What's wrong with this young master?"
Gu Hong'an could barely hold on to a smile at this time and looked at the person in front of him. After all, the person in front of him didn't look evil, and he probably didn't have any bad intentions. But he was able to stay calm in this situation. It's not easy. There is a wolf in front of me and a tiger in back. I can't be as calm as usual no matter what.
"Where are you from and why do you want to buy medicine in the city?"
The question this person asked made Gu Huaian feel that something was not right. If the heavy situation was really related to the person in front of him, why would he ask himself such a question at this time
The strange thing is that here, Gu Huaian feels that the person in front of him may not even be the same as the group of people following him, but he cannot take it lightly at this time. Although he knows some martial arts, it does not mean that he can fight with two fists. Four hands.
"I'm just a businessman passing by. Is it bad to buy some medicine? Are there any rules here?"
Although I know that the person in front of me may not have any great malice, it is clear that this person is not such a successful person. He appears here, and in such a remote corner, but he is walking on the road with these people behind him. completely different.
The young man in front of him looked at Gu Huaian in front of him up and down, and after a long time he said in confusion, "Are you a doctor? You just gave the medicine to the person who was following you."
Gu Huaian nodded eccentrically. When it comes to the person in front of you, he doesn't have any big problems. He always feels that he should be overthinking. He doesn't seem to be a good person. He just cares about it casually. People who do something to others after they buy a pack of medicine.
"Yes, I'm just an herb merchant. I can cure diseases with some medical skills, but I can't be called a doctor yet."
In a strange place, you still have to protect your identity more or less, lest if other problems arise later, it will be difficult for you to deal with it. What's more, you have not yet fully confirmed whether the person in front of you has any ill intentions toward you.
Although Gu Qiang still occasionally returns to the Nine Princes' Mansion to stay for two days, he basically stays in Lingyin Pavilion on weekdays. Therefore, at this time, it is more convenient for Shen Zhongbai, as the emperor, to call him into the palace. Sometimes even Shen Qianshan didn't know that he had entered the palace.
During the recent period, Shen Zhongbai did not seem to arrange all the people near Lingyin Pavilion, and the lives of several people have become much easier. Although Gu Qiang still enters and exits the palace occasionally, this seems to have a negative impact on their lives. Nothing much has changed.
Gu Qiang was originally worried about how she should explain herself when Gu Huaian came back, but she calculated on her fingers that by the time Gu Huaian came back, it would be after the imperial examination in July. When he arrived, he might have already found all the remaining medicinal materials in the pharmacy, so there was no need to worry that Gu Huaian would be angry with him.
"The situation inside the capital doesn't seem to be serious. Why is it so serious in the palace?"
Watching Gu Qiang running around the palace all day long, Gu Suliang also felt a little strange. The situation outside the imperial city could be controlled so easily. How come the situation in the imperial city was basically considered underground? There are so few people in Guangzhou, why can’t the disease be controlled
"Isn't it because there are people with ulterior motives in this palace? Besides, although the concubines in the palaces don't go out, don't the servants below still like to wander around and spread gossip?"
Although Gu Qiang helped Shen Zhongbai deal with his immediate pressing needs, he was not prepared to give Shen Zhongbai a permanent death-free medal. For Shen Zhongbai now, he just didn't have to deal with those concubines for the time being.
"I don't understand things about you women, but did you see Shen Qiangwei when you entered the palace twice?"
To be honest, Gu Suliang was still thinking about Shen Qiangwei. He couldn't say how much he liked Shen Qiangwei, but he always felt that this woman, from a certain angle, was somewhat similar to the Gu Qiang in front of him. After knowing the truth of the matter and the true identity of his lover, he has been patiently waiting for the opportunity to take revenge.
If it were ordinary people, I am afraid that people like Qiangwei and Gu Qiang would have to avoid them. Gu Qiang was fine, but Shen Qiangwei was born in a brothel after all, and then struggled in the palace. For such a long time, the thought is not something that ordinary people can compare with.
"I noticed that since the last time you entered the palace to take care of Shen Qiangwei, you seem to be very interested in Shen Qiangwei. Is it possible that you really have some thoughts about Shen Qiangwei?"
Gu Qiang was just a joke at first, but the look on the face of the person in front of him was suddenly shocked. He didn't know what it meant, but he followed it. This was not something that could be used as a joke, no matter what What was Shen Qiangwei's identity before and now? She couldn't imagine the situation of Gu Su Liang and Shen Qiangwei standing together. This was really inconsistent.
"What are you talking about? When did I interact with that noble concubine? But I feel that it is quite pitiful to be alone in the palace. If there is really anything you can do to help, It’s better to go and help him, it’s really difficult to maintain a life in the palace.”
In the palace, everyone is careful at every step. If there is a slight mistake, everyone's life may be involved. That's why Gusu Liang feels that after all, we are people who share life and death, so we should take care of each other.
"I know, I know, it's not a big problem. When I pick up the palace these days, I won't be able to contact every princess, but as long as there is any news over Shen Qiangwei, there is nothing wrong with me going there. , I just don’t know if I will attract Shen Zhongbai’s attention if I really go to see Shen Qiangwei.”
Shen Zhongbai has been extremely quiet recently, which inevitably makes people feel a little unreasonable. For Shen Zhongbai, he would like to stare at those who threaten him every minute and every second, but although Shen Qianshan has not made any movements recently, , but it won’t make Shen Zhongbai suddenly relax his vigilance, right
"By the way, my brother has been gone for such a long time, why hasn't there been any news?"
After all, Gu Huaian was alone this time. If something happened, Gu Qiang always felt a little uncomfortable, so she had been waiting for Gu Huaian to write to her, but After such a long time, I have never seen a letter from Huai'an. Could it be that Chengdu sent it directly to Shen Qianshan
"Your brother is busy outside. You should feel lucky. No news is the best news. If he comes back suddenly, do you think he will let you go so easily?"
Gu Qiang couldn't help but shrink her neck when she heard this. What she said was that before she could handle these things perfectly, Gu Huaian had better not come back.
The situation in Guhuan was not as bad as he imagined. At least the young man in front of him became more humble when he heard that Gu Huai'an had some medical skills and directly invited Gu Huai'an to his residence.
The strange thing is that although this young man does not look like a resident of this city, he can easily help him get rid of these people behind him.
Gu Huaian saw the young man in front of him leading him forward, and finally couldn't help but ask.
"Master, where are you going to take me? At least let me know what you are going to do, right?"
Gu Huaian felt that the person in front of him was getting more and more anxious as he walked away, as if something was really waiting for him.
The young man in front of him did not stop, but continued to explain to the people behind him while walking forward.
"You are a smart person, you should be able to see that those people outside are not actually residents here."
This young man has an aura of martial arts about him, which can be seen in his movements. He should be a man of good martial arts, but he always makes people feel a bit gangster.
"So where have all the people who originally lived in this city gone?"
What Gu Huan really cares about is this. Since Huang Hao stationed troops here not long ago, it means that many residents here have come into contact with them.
Then why do the people on the street no longer look like they live here
"They are infected. In fact, most of the people no longer live in their homes. The ones you see on the street are just those who have survived. There are even many who are very peaceful on the surface, but in fact A despicable villain with an undercurrent.”
Gu Huai'an had indeed heard that in some places, entire towns were closed off due to the plague, or all infected people were gathered together for treatment.
