"That won't work!" Gu Changqing refused without thinking.
How terrifying the plague is, he is not unexperienced. Almost every disaster or war will break out after a plague, it's just a matter of priorities.
Some epidemics can be stopped in time if they are discovered in a timely manner and controlled vigorously, but casualties are still inevitable.
He did not allow her to take risks.
"I'm a doctor, I'll be fine." Gu Jiao said, took out the small medicine box from the small backpack, took out the gloves and goggles, and put on another isolation gown.
Gu Changqing watched her take out so many strange things from a small medicine box, and she didn't know what to say for a while.
"you… "
He opened his mouth.
Gu Jiao fastened the last two straps on the isolation gown and said to Gu Changqing, "I have these, so I won't be afraid of infection!"
It stands to reason that the protective clothing is the best, but there is no protective clothing in the small medicine box, only the surgical isolation gown, and only one appears, which is her size.
No one can change what Gu Jiao decides. Even if Gu Changqing doubts that he kills people, Gu Jiao will still follow him, unless he places her acupoints here, but in case the soldiers who attacked Yu Evil come back and are left alone by the acupoints Here she is in danger.
After thinking it over and over again, Gu Changqing had to agree to her going.
Gu Jiao didn't bring the red spear, she pulled out the dagger from her waist.
Gu Changqing exchanged his dagger for her: "Use this."
This dagger was longer and sharper than Gu Jiao's.
"Okay." Gu Jiao didn't refuse.
"You leave the door open." Gu Changqing said.
"En." Gu Jiao also responded.
Look, she's very obedient most of the time.
Gu Jiao came to the house of the dead man with a dagger, raised her hand and knocked on the door.
The sound of footsteps came from the direction of the wooden bridge. The dead man thought it was a soldier who was facing the remnants, and he opened the door.
The moment the door opened, the dead man noticed something was wrong, he slammed the door shut, but he was a step late, Gu Jiao touched the door with one foot, and the dagger in his hand stabbed straight at the waist and abdomen of the dead man!
It was a conditioned reflex for the dead man to close the door. After that, he regretted it immediately. What kind of door did he close, just kill him!
However, the opportunity is fleeting. If he attacks Gu Jiao directly, Gu Jiao may not succeed.
Gu Jiao's knife was fast, ruthless, and accurate, and there was absolutely no room for the dead man to breathe.
She pulled out the knife and blood splashed all over her!
The dead man fell straight to the ground, dying without knowing why he died.
Gu Changqing saw the blood of the dead man splattered on Gu Jiao's body, stood up from behind the bushes, and strode towards Gu Jiao.
Gu Jiao reached out and gave him a stop gesture: "I'm fine, don't come here!"
It's all infected blood.
Gu Changqing stopped on the bridge and looked at her worriedly.
Gu Jiao dragged the deceased into the cabin, where firewood was burned. Gu Jiao originally planned to burn the body together with the house, but after a moment of hesitation, she changed her mind.
She looked around the house but couldn't find the shovel, so she knocked on the door next door.
Unexpectedly, the people inside did not dare to open the door at all.
Immediately afterwards, she changed several cabins, and without exception, no one opened the door for her.
"Is it because I didn't speak? They don't know who I am, or do they take me for who I am?" Gu Jiao was hesitating whether she should speak, when the door of the easternmost cabin opened.
The young man who just tried to escape but was brutally injured by the dead man limped out.
The young man looked curiously at Gu Jiao, who was dressed in a strange dress, and then looked at the corpse lying in a pool of blood in front of the dead man's room. He recognized that it was the dead man's body.
He froze for a moment.
Gu Jiao simply walked towards him and asked him, "Do you have a shovel?"
The young man is startled again, girl? !
This, this, this is a girl!
"Do you have a shovel?" Gu Jiao asked again.
"Ah, yes, yes, yes, you... girl... uh..." the young man stammered, not knowing what to call her, "do you want a shovel?"
Gu Jiao: "Yes."
The young man turned around to get the shovel. Xu was too nervous and flustered. He slammed into the door panel, making him dizzy and staring at his eyes.
After he entered the room, Gu Jiao heard the deliberately low voice of the conversation.
"Who is here?"
"I don't know, but it shouldn't be from King Yi."
King Yi, the leader of the remnants of the previous dynasty, is said to be the uncle of the concubine.
"You're crazy! They won't let us talk to people outside, and they won't let us open the door to people outside, or they'll kill us!"
"What's the difference between us being here and waiting to die? Besides, she killed that person, she must have come to help us!"
"You also know!"
"I don't care, I'm going to escape anyway!"
After the young man said this, he came out with a shovel.
He handed the shovel to Gu Jiao: "Here."
Gu Jiao was about to reach for it when he thought of something, and immediately took back the shovel, took a step back, and said to Gu Jiao, "We are the ones who got the plague, be careful you get infected."
"I know." Gu Jiao stepped forward and took the shovel in his hand, "Thanks."
"Hey—" The young man wanted to say something, but Gu Jiao had already turned and left.
Gu Jiao dug a hole at the back of the stockade. Halfway through the digging, the young man came over and said, "Do you want to dig a hole? Let me help you."
"No." Gu Jiao said.
Although he was rejected, the young man still took another shovel and slid into the pit.
Gu Jiao glanced at him and said nothing.
The speed of two people was much faster than that of one person, so a big hole was dug in just a moment, Gu Jiao jumped on it, and pulled him up too.
The young man was a little hesitant at first, but seeing that she was wearing gloves, it seemed that she didn't have a skin-to-skin relationship, so he passed his hand to Gu Jiao.
Gu Jiao dragged the dead man's body over, threw it into the pit, and threw it into the pit together with the firewood, and set it on fire.
The young man swallowed his saliva, and asked with some fear and some curiosity: "Did you really kill it?"
He just said this to his roommate to appease the mood of the roommate, but he was a little unbelievable in his heart.
This is a master!
"Hmm." Gu Jiao hummed.
The young man asked suspiciously, "Who are you? Why did you kill him? Have your relatives been captured by them too?"
Speaking of this, he scratched his head and said embarrassingly: "Ah, am I asking too many questions? You don't have to say it! You killed him, you are a good person!"
Gu Jiao's expression didn't change much, she asked, "Who are the people locked here?"
The young man said: "Everyone has it, the dealer and the pawn, the squire master."
Gu Jiao asked, "Isn't it a villager who lives here?"
The young man regretted: "The villagers here have been killed by them long ago. We were all caught from behind, and our family members were also taken away by them. If we were not obedient, they would torture our family members, or take us away. His family was also sent to die."
Gu Jiao looked at him: "What about you? Why are you disobedient?"
"I don't have a family." The young man's mood was down. His family was all dead, killed by the remnants of the former dynasty.
I see.
Gu Jiao paused and said, "Those soldiers only come to deliver meals every day, do they do anything else? For example, check on you or something."
The young man shook his head: "No, they dare not approach at all, you are the first. Seriously, aren't you afraid of being infected? Or... you are already infected?"
"I'm not infected." Gu Jiao said.
The young man hurriedly said: "Then leave here quickly! In more than an hour, they will come to deliver dinner. If they find you here and kill their people, they will not let you go!"
Gu Jiao: "What's your name?"
The young man said, "My name is Shen Xuan, and my parents call me Xiao Shi Shi."
Gu Jiao looked at him fixedly: "Little Stone, can I trust you?"
…
It was an hour after they came out of Lingguan City, Gu Changqing and Gu Jiao found Lin Zi, where the horses had been hidden before, and led their horses out.
"Is it really okay?" Gu Changqing asked.
He asked about her physical condition.
Gu Jiao got it wrong, thinking that he was worried about the situation in the stockade.
She said: "Those soldiers leave every time they put down their food boxes, they don't even enter the house to check if the person inside is still there, and when the dead man knocks on his door when breakfast is delivered, this is a signal that he is still alive. Knowing that he is still alive, he will not question the situation in the stockade. The small stone moved to the house of the dead man, and he will knock on the door every day from now on."
Gu Changqing said again: "What about the rest? Will you confess him?"
Gu Jiao said, "If they want to live for themselves and their families, they won't."
She promised to save their families, and left enough medicine, as long as they took their medicines carefully and on time, they would not die of the plague.
In addition, Gu Jiao also told them that the Gu family army had arrived at the frontier, and the young master of the Gu family army was standing on the wooden bridge.
The court did not give up the territory of Zhao State, nor did it give up the people of the frontier.
Gu Changqing was deeply moved, his sister was really capable.
"How long will the treatment take?" Gu Changqing asked.
"Seven to ten days." Gu Jiao said, "He will think carefully about the escape route in the past few days. If he is to attack the city, he will be notified in advance, and he will escape with the people in the stockade. He will not escape to many people. local, he understood the contagious nature of the plague."
Gu Changqing pondered for a moment and said, "In this case, there is nothing to worry about."
The original plan was to attack Lingguan City first. Lingguan City's geographical location is relatively special, and it forms a thorny situation with Yue Ancient City and Ye City.
Of course, when attacking Lingguan City, it is easy to be attacked by the remnants of the previous dynasty and the army of Chen Guo in Yecheng.
Gu Changqing was not afraid that the enemy forces in their two cities would join forces. He had already inquired about their strength. Lingguan City defended 30,000 troops, Ye City defended 30,000 troops, and the Gu family army had 100,000 troops, even if they attacked the Gu family army from both sides. Don't be afraid.
Beiyang City is on the other side of Ye City. As long as they take action quickly enough, the enemy troops in Beiyang City will not come so quickly.
"Beiyang City has the stance of increasing troops." Gu Jiao said.
"And this matter?" Gu Changqing frowned slightly.
Gu Jiao nodded: "Well, what Xiao Shishi said, when he was taken to the prefect's mansion, he overheard the conversation between the concubine and a certain general of the Chen country."
Chen State originally had 80,000 troops stationed in the frontier fortress, but after hearing that the 100,000-strong Gu family's army moved towards the frontier fortress, Prince Bo also dispatched a 100,000-strong army from all over the Chen State.
Chen Guo's army of 80,000 troops has lost 20,000 troops, and the 30,000-strong army of the remnants of the previous dynasty is left with 90,000 troops. As long as no plague broke out, the Gu family's army would have no problem dealing with these 90,000 horses.
But if Chen Guo's 100,000 reinforcements arrived, it would be another story.
Gu Changqing nodded: "In this way, the 30,000-strong army of Beiyang City is not a big threat."
The 100,000 reinforcements on the road are.
Gu Jiao said: "But if you can bully the less every time, you can minimize the casualties of the Gu family's army, so even if the reinforcements from the Chen country come, it may not have a chance of winning."
Gu Changqing: What's the matter
What Gu Jiao didn't say was that, rather than how to deal with Chen Guo's 100,000 reinforcements, she wanted to find out the dead man who was hiding in the dark as soon as possible.
Without the accident of the plague, Gu Changqing would not go looking for medicine, and what time would the dead man find to attack Gu Changqing
The two returned to Yue Ancient City together, and after entering the city, the two went to the military camp first.
As soon as they arrived at the gate of the barracks, the two saw Cheng Taishou with an excited face.
Cheng Taishou's body was covered with snowflakes. It seemed that after they left, there was snow in Yuegu Ancient City, and this Cheng Tairen had been waiting in the heavy snow.
"General Gu! Doctor Gu!"
Cheng Taishou saw Gu Changqing and Gu Jiao, his eyes lit up, and he cupped his hands to greet them.
He already knew the identities of Gu Chengfeng and Gu Jiao, and was extremely glad that he had not offended them.
Gu Changqing looked at him and asked lightly, "Is something wrong?"
"what… "
This slightly serious tone made Cheng Taishou's heart skip a beat, and he suddenly realized that Gu Changqing was questioning why he left his post without permission and appeared here
Yue Gucheng just ended a battle, and there are still many things to take care of. As the prefect of Yue Gucheng, he should have dealt with the resettlement of the people.
"Xiao Xiao just came from the porridge shed." He couldn't help but break a cold sweat. Fortunately, he was indeed braving the wind and snow all afternoon to help the victims, "Xiao Xiao is here to report the situation to General Gu."
"It's cold outside, you go inside." Gu Changqing lifted the curtain of the tent and let Gu Jiao enter the tent, with a gentle tone that was different from the serious General Gu just now.
After Gu Jiao entered, Gu Changqing's tone faded again: "You don't have to report your own affairs to me."
"Ah... yes! yes!"
General Gu's face changed faster than flipping a book.
Cheng Taishou murmured in his heart, but with a shy smile on his face, he said, "I have one more thing to report to General Gu."
"What's the matter?" Gu Changqing asked.
"Old Marquis is awake!" Cheng Taishou said with a smile.
