The ghost doctor opened his mouth and was silent for a while: "It seems to make sense?"
The ghost doctor coughed lightly: "However, this kind of thing that needs to use your brain should be taken care of by you. I don't know anything, I only know how to make viruses from illnesses."
"The matter of Wu'an City is about to come to an end. Don't forget what you promised about my medicine palace."
"I know, I know, I can't forget."
Yunshang brought a few pieces of charcoal, and took someone to Qingyun Lake, found some big stones by the lake, and used charcoal to draw a line on the stone where the water level is now.
Autumn has already entered, and the rain has decreased a lot in the past few days.
Except for the high tide, Qingyun Lake is relatively calm at other times, and the water level will not change much.
Yun Chang looked at the sky, it was getting dark gradually.
Yun Chang asked someone to light a torch, and waited by the lake. While waiting, a piece of clothing fell on her shoulders.
Yun Chang turned her head, and saw Luo Qingyan appear behind him at some point, followed by Rong Jie.
"Master Rong." Yun Shang put Luo Qingyan on her cloak and pulled it closer: "On weekdays, when does the water in this Qingyun Lake rise?"
"On weekdays, it will start at this moment now, and then reach the highest water level in an hour, and after about a quarter of an hour, it will slowly ebb again."
When Yun Shang heard the words, she subconsciously asked the guards to hold up the torch, and looked at the black line she had drawn. The water level hadn't risen.
"Probably all the undercurrents have been blocked."
Luo Qingyan nodded, and shook Yunshang's hand, Yunshang's hand was slightly cold, Luo Qingyan frowned: "It's cold at night, wait for a while, come back after an hour, send someone Come and see."
Yun Chang responded, but did not refuse, but turned around and walked back with Luo Qingyan.
"The ghost doctor said, you took people into the city to search this evening? But what did you find?"
"I found two elderly people who have been staying at home because of inconvenient legs and feet. The fire last night did not affect them, but they couldn't leave Wu'an City by themselves. I asked someone to find two idle farmhouses around them. They are temporarily placed there. When the time comes, ask someone to send some food over."
Yun Chang responded, "The people suffer the most."
Luo responded softly, but then said: "It's just that if this incident hadn't happened, I'm afraid that the entire Xia Kingdom would suffer, how many people would suffer."
"If Xia Kingdom really falls into the hands of Wu Clan people, I am afraid that the thousands of people in Xia Kingdom will become puppets in the hands of Wu Clan people, made into living dead by Wu Clan people, or used to practice Gu and be controlled by Gu insects. .”
Yun Chang nodded: "Yes. Xing, the people suffer, and death, the people suffer even more."
Luo Qingyan embraced Yunshang: "Besides, I also found many jars for raising Gu insects in a house in the city. That place was a very dilapidated house with broken bowls and old crutches. , it looks like it’s being used for begging.”
"The beggar? The patriarch of the Wu clan?"
Luo Qingyan hummed: "I also suspect that that place is the place where the head of the Wu clan lived temporarily."
"A very dilapidated house?" Yun Shang raised her eyebrows: "This Wu Clan patriarch is really as you said, leaving no flaws in the disguise, and even the house where he lives is made to be watertight."
"It's just that you said before that you tried to get the half-baked Gu worm that the ghost doctor got out and gave it to the Wu Clan patriarch, but since the incident happened last night, it seems that you haven't seen the Wu Clan patriarch? Is he dead? Or is he running away? gone?"
Luo Qingyan lowered his eyes and smiled: "I was just about to tell you this, I saw the patriarch of the Wu Clan, probably because his ability to refine Gu is one of the best in the entire Wu Clan, so although the Gu worm It had some impact on his body, but it didn't affect his mind."
"It's just that after all, the body has been injured, and it's not easy to do anything. And he probably knows that even he has been discovered. This time, the Wu Clan's uprising may be defeated."
"So at dusk today, taking advantage of the slightly dark sky, he dressed lightly, threw away everything he could throw away, and ran to the gate of the city early in the morning to wait, intending to leave the city."
"This time he pretended to be an ordinary old man, but probably because he doesn't know how to disguise himself, he still didn't disguise himself, and was discovered by the hidden guard."
"The person has been sent out and locked up. Do you want to go and see?"
Yun Shang nodded: "Naturally, I want to see it. After all, this war will develop into what it is today, and it probably has something to do with him."
"The Wu Clan has lived in a corner for hundreds of years, peacefully. It was the patriarch who had such an unreasonable thought that he came up with such a thing. Whatever I say, I have to meet the Wu Clan patriarch It is."
Luo responded lightly, and then said: "Although Wu Mengqi didn't bring anything with him when he left the city, and the dark guards searched him, but in order to prevent problems before they happen, I still asked the dark guards who watched him to wear the Wu clan's uniform. bone whistle, and imprisoned him in a cell made of stone."
Yun Shang nodded: "Your Majesty is right, although we speculate that Wu Mengqi and the saint should be one who is good at witchcraft and the other is good at Gu, but it does not mean that those who are good at Gu will not A little witchcraft."
Luo Qingyan raised his hand to touch Yunshang's hair, and took Yunshang to the camp together.
The cell made of stone was actually underground. Walking down from a camp tent, I was a door with iron bars, and there were no guards outside the door.
Through the iron railing, you can see a person sitting against the stone wall inside.
Yun Shang didn't ask anyone to open the door, but just stood outside the door, looking at the people in the room. Although they changed their clothes, their faces were still the same.
"Long time no see."
Wu Mengqi raised his eyes and squinted at Yun Shang.
Probably because of Yun Shang's new face now, Wu Mengqi's eyes were still a little hesitant, and he seemed to be sure after a while: "You are Mrs. Luo from Miaoshoutang?"
As he said that, his eyes fell on Luo Qingyan again, and then turned to Luo Qingyan's hand holding Yunshang's shoulder.
"Ah... I see."
Wu Mengqi quickly realized: "It turns out that it is the empress of the Xia Kingdom. I also said that even a small work of the Xia Kingdom is so powerful. It's the old man who doesn't know Mount Tai."
Yun Shang laughed: "The patriarch doesn't have to say that, after all, when the patriarch saw me for the first time, he knew that I was not from Miaoshoutang, and guessed that I was a spy sent by Xia Guo to the city. It's very powerful."
"And, if it wasn't for His Majesty's reminder, if it wasn't for the fact that the patriarch joined forces with He Chuling later, I would never have discovered the identity of the patriarch..."
