At night, Gu Chengfeng didn't wait for Big Brother to come, and fell asleep amid a burst of grievances.
Hmph, tomorrow, the big brother will definitely come to see him!
The next day, Gu Changqing left the city...
Gu Changqing went out of the city with Gu Jiao.
The crisis in Yuegucheng has been resolved, but there are still two crises waiting for them in the next battle, one is Gu Changqing's legs being chopped off, and the other is the annihilation of the Gu family army.
These two things are actually related, and the cause is Lingguan City, which was guarded by the remnants of the previous dynasty.
The remnants of the previous dynasty did everything they could to deal with the Gu family army. They got a disease patient from somewhere and let him infect the people in the city. After the Gu family army took back Lingguan City, it was not clear that a plague had quietly spread in the city.
When the doctors confirmed that it was the plague, Gu Jiajun had already been infected.
This plague is likely to be plague, with a short incubation period, extremely rapid onset, severe symptoms and extremely high mortality.
Gu Jiajun took measures quickly, but it was still a step too late, and a large number of Gu Jiajun were infected.
Due to lack of proper treatment, hundreds of soldiers from the Gu family died every day in the isolation camp.
In order to completely stop the plague, their remains could only be burned, and even the ashes could not be brought back.
Gu Changqing was plotted on the way to find medicine for them. He was a very formidable dead man, and his skills were no less than that of Zhao Kingdom's Long Yingwei, but the other party didn't kill Gu Changqing, just chopped off his legs. .
The other party's purpose seems to be to make Gu Changqing live soberly and painfully, lose Gu Jiajun, lose his grandfather and biological younger brother, but still leave him a Gu Chenglin in the house, which makes him want to die but can't die.
He lived forever in the abyss of pain.
Gu Jiao thought about it seriously. To save Gu Jiajun, she had to stop the plague from the source and prevent it from spreading.
And to avoid Gu Changqing's tragedy, the second thing is to not let him leave the army to look for medicine. The way to draw money from the bottom of the pot is to find that powerful dead man and kill him!
Gu Jiao didn't know where the dead man was for the time being, so let's solve the plague first.
On the way to Lingguan City, the two rode their horses in the snow, and Gu Changqing suddenly turned to look at her: "Your equestrianism has improved."
When Gu Jiao was in the capital, she didn't know how to ride a horse.
Gu Jiao said, "From the capital to here, it's all about riding horses, that's enough."
Honestly, her horsemanship is not very good, but the horse is good, without her having to spend too much skill to control, the horse can run quite happily on its own.
But my sister's progress, no matter how small, is big.
Gu Changqing was very relieved, and her eyes were bright when she looked at Gu Jiao.
"That's right." Thinking of the purpose of going to Lingguan City this time, he said again, "How do you know that there are plague patients in Lingguan City?"
Gu Jiao said without changing her face: "I went to Lingguan City last time, and I also went to the prefect's mansion of the former headquarters."
But I know this news has nothing to do with me going to Lingguan City.
Gu Jiao added in her heart.
Gu Changqing took it for granted that she made up for the information she didn't say all - Gu Jiao went to the prefect's mansion and overheard the plan of the remnants of the previous dynasty.
It has to be said that the Gu family's father and son have properly controlled the skill of brain supplementation.
The news of the Gu family's annihilation of the 20,000-strong army of the Chen country spread like wildfire, and the defense of Lingguan City was stronger than before. However, the border city was not surrounded by walls like the capital, and even Lingguan City was only set up on the only road. Several levels.
It is not difficult for the two of them to pass such a level. The two hid their horses in the nearby forest, and then Gu Changqing performed Qinggong and led Gu Jiao around from the side.
Naturally, such a terrifying danger would not be placed in the prefect's mansion. The remnants of the previous dynasty imprisoned the plague patients in a small stockade in the northwest of Lingguan City.
After the two entered the city, they went straight to the small stockade.
Xiaozhai is located at the foot of a mountain, surrounded by mountains on three sides and facing water on one side.
To enter the stockade, you have to go through a wooden bridge over the river.
The two crouched down behind a bush and carefully observed the movement in the stockade.
The stockade is very small, with only a dozen small houses stacked with mud and grass. The doors and windows of the small houses are closed, and occasionally a few suppressed coughs can be heard from inside.
The two observed for a long time, and Gu Changqing whispered: "It's strange, there are no guards."
"The door is not locked," Gu Jiao said.
Gu Changqing nodded.
This is a very big doubt.
The plague patients are locked here. Although they are used to deal with the Gu family's army, but now the Gu family's army has not yet reached Lingguan City, and the rebels who are stationed here are the remnants of the former dynasty.
The streets are full of former soldiers.
Are they not afraid that these patients will accidentally infect their own people by running out
Gu Jiao also found it very strange. In the dream, she only saw the results, but not the past, so she couldn't help but for a while, what medicines were sold in the gourd before the patients were released.
But since they are here, they can always find out.
"Someone is coming!" Gu Changqing covered Gu Jiao's head with her hands, and together with her, pressed her body under the bushes.
What came were two soldiers who were facing the remnants of the front, each carrying a large food box and walking in the creaking snow.
Just now, when Gu Changqing brought Gu Jiao over, he performed light work, so he did not leave footprints in the snow, and the soldiers walked over in front of Gu Changqing and Gu Jiao.
The two soldiers came to the stockade, put the food box on the open space in front of them, and then left.
"Is this a meal delivery?" Gu Jiao said.
"It looks like it's time for lunch now, are you hungry?" Gu Changqing's focus was suddenly deviated.
Gu Jiao was about to say that I wasn't hungry when she saw Gu Changqing took out something wrapped in kraft paper from her arms. After opening it, it turned out to be a package of dried meat.
Gu Jiao: "..."
Before Gu Jiao could eat, there was movement in one of the cabins in the stockade.
With a creaking sound, the wooden door was pulled open from inside, and a tall, burly man walked out slowly.
He was wrapped in a thick quilt, holding an empty bowl, and his steps were sonorous and heavy.
His breath was familiar to Gu Jiao, and Gu Jiao used her index finger to write two words in the snow: "Dead man."
Gu Changqing frowned.
He took her cold fingertips and warmed them in his hands.
The two continued to observe the movement in the house.
The deceased soldier's complexion and state are not quite right, as if he is also a plague patient.
He came to the open space in the stockade, opened the food box on the left, slowly took out a cake and a steamed bun, opened the food box on the right, and scooped a bowl of dark soup.
After doing this, he turned around and went back to the house.
It was a little hard for him to walk, and he could see that the lesions had taken root and sprouted in his body.
After he closed the door, the doors of the other small houses began to open one after another. After that, the villagers who came out were all without martial arts, between the ages of 20 and 40, and belonged to the age with good physique in one's life.
Gu Changqing's heart sank as if he had been carefully selected.
There were two villagers in each room, a total of fourteen people. These people, like the dead man just now, also took dry food and medicinal juice.
"Can you smell any medicine?" Gu Changqing took out the dagger, used the scabbard to write a line in the snow, and then handed the dagger to Gu Jiao.
Gu Jiao wrote: "The medicine for the plague."
"Can it be cured?" Gu Changqing took the dagger and wrote.
Gu Jiao shook her head.
can't be cured.
If it was the plague, it would have to be streptomycin, or tetracycline, chloramphenicol, or sulfonamides. This decoction can only relieve symptoms to a certain extent, allowing the patient to live a few days longer, and eventually lose the life.
Gu Changqing fell into deep thought.
The two squatted behind the bushes for a while, and suddenly, the door of the easternmost room was opened, and a young man in his early twenties sneaked out.
Gu Jiao noticed him just now when he was eating.
Gu Jiao was a doctor, so he could see who had the most severe symptoms, but this young man had the mildest symptoms, so Gu Jiao paid more attention to him.
The young man, presumably trying to escape, crept across the clearing towards the wooden bridge.
However, before he stepped on the bridge with one foot, he was overturned to the ground by a force, and he had a nosebleed in the snow on the spot.
"Next time, I'll chop you into pieces and feed the dogs!"
It was the voice of the dead man.
At this point, Gu Jiao and Gu Changqing finally understood why there was no one to guard here.
With that formidable dead man, none of the villagers here could escape.
What's more, it can also reduce the risk of soldiers being infected.
The young man covered his bleeding nose and crawled back to his cabin resignedly.
Gu Changqing's eyes suddenly turned cold.
He understands what the plan was for the remnants of the past.
There will be a battle in Lingguan City. If the Gu family's army is defeated, and Lingguan City is still a remnant of the previous dynasty, then these plague patients will be executed on the spot.
And if the Gu family army wins, these plague patients will be released to infect the people in the city and the Gu family army.
If you don't get it, you will destroy it, which is probably the case.
As for why they didn't drive these patients to Yuegucheng directly, one was that they couldn't walk that far because they were ill; the other was that accidents were prone to happen on the way to drive them away.
If one ran away, or accidentally came into contact with soldiers, the consequences would be disastrous.
Gu Changqing's eyes were freezing cold, and he didn't even need a dagger, he stood up and said, "I'll kill that dead man."
Gu Jiao squeezed his hand: "I'll kill it."
Today is also the day I want a monthly pass!
