Chapter 92: Report

On the same Midsummer night, the middle of Shu, thousands of miles away, was even hotter and damp than Wang. Such conditions are not suitable for recuperating, so every night, I can always hear endless groans in the streets and alleys. Groans.
The main cause of the plague is flood.
The center of Shu is located in the basin, and most of the bends are not flowing smoothly. Especially the nearby section is the easiest to break the dyke. In previous years, it was the focus of remediation, but since Chu Sanghuai became the throne, he has not managed it again. In the big tide, the already shaky berm was officially declared dead. After being flooded, because there were too many casualties and no clean water source, it was an epidemic.
But the situation now is much better than expected. Because of Chu Jinglan's decisive move to close the city, the plague has not spread, and the city has been divided into two areas, the north and the south. The north area is rushing to repair the embankment, and it is also a soldier. Only healthy people can enter the center of the material operation. The southern area is housed with people infected with the epidemic, separated by carbine, and guarded by heavy soldiers.
Every time you enter the Southern District is a torture. The houses collapsed, the corpses crossed the road, and the ruined temples and ancestral halls were full of people lying crookedly and slantingly. Their clothes were ragged, their faces were gray, and their bodies were full of yellow-green pus. The water kept wailing, like a purgatory in the world, even the experienced old doctor changed his face when he saw this scene.
Anyone who has been to the southern area must take medicine to smoke moxa and cannot enter the northern area for a short time. Therefore, Lu Heng stays at the junction most of the time to facilitate the treatment of patients. He and Chu Jinglan have not seen each other for several days. Face up.
Chu Jinglan was not idle either, and slept for less than ten hours in all these few days.
Sleepy is sleepy, but I can't sleep well. I woke up after leaning on the back of the chair for a while. What I remember was either the fortifications on the embankment or the epidemic in the southern district. I had to take time to stare at the newly dug canal. Fortunately, the people underneath were more capable, giving him time to breathe after he was exhausted, but as soon as he sat down to rest, another thing came to his mind.
I haven't received Ye Huaiyang's letter for five days.
Because they want to keep secret, the letters between them were all brought together when the night caravan was delivering supplies. They were always on time. As usual, Tang Qingfeng should put the letter on his desk at this point. Up.
The long fingers tapping the countertop suddenly stopped, and he flicked up and headed towards Yejia Shangsi alone.
As soon as night fell outside, there were still a few small dark blue traces on the sky. As time went by, they gradually blurred like an ink painting until they were too thick to distinguish the boundary. The lights in the city were still dim, and it was so dark that the road underneath could not be seen clearly, but the closer to the destination, the more bright the willows were. At the moment of sudden enlightenment, the lantern with the word "night" came into my eyes.
At this moment, the guys in the shop were still carrying the goods. They were very busy because there were not many people. They shuttled from the door to the warehouse without stopping. Sweat spilled over the bluestone road, leaving deep black marks.
The big treasurer Ye Rong was directing them, and he didn't have time to pay attention, but Yu Guangli suddenly covered a long black shadow, and he subconsciously glanced at it, which made him busy putting down the things in his hand, and pulling away to welcome him. .
"See the prince."
Chu Jinglan nodded slightly, glanced over the mountain boxes at the door, seemingly inadvertently asked: "Is this the material shipped from the royal capital?"
Ye Rong frowned when he asked him, and he was worried, "Go back to the prince, this is from Guanzhou. I don’t know what’s going on in the royal capital, and there’s no one letter of it until the goods arrive, old man. Nuzheng feels strange, it shouldn't have been so long..."
Chu Jinglan's heartbeat stagnated, and just about to ask more carefully, a tall and tall figure suddenly walked out of the business establishment, wearing armour and sword, and walking downright, incompatible with this environment. Originally, he was going to the west. Seeing Chu Jinglan standing at the door, he couldn't help but stop and raise his eyebrows and asked, "It's dark, what are you doing here?"
A few simple words shocked Ye Rong into a cold sweat. The eldest master was too disregard of etiquette and dignity, how could he talk to the prince like this? Fearing that Chu was frightened, he hurriedly made a round in a good voice: "Master, the prince is here to ask if the materials in the capital have arrived."
Ye Huai Li originally wanted to say that I would send it to you, but suddenly I realized that Chu Jinglan didn’t want the supplies to help the victims, but the Feng Ye Huaiyang handwritten to him in the supplies. letter. Thinking of this, his mood suddenly became a little complicated, but he still said frankly: "We can't get in touch with the team from Wangdu for the time being. We may have to wait two more days.
"Have someone else asked?"
These words stopped Ye Huaili’s question. He brought his troops to repair the embankment to help with the defense. Today, he was free to walk around his own business premises. He didn’t know so deeply yet, but Ye Rong was the old shopkeeper here. I usually watch Liulu and listen to all directions. These things are self-explanatory, and I immediately replied in a low voice: "I have asked, but the other companies who stayed here have not received the goods from the capital."
Now it wasn't just Chu Jinglan who felt wrong, Ye Huaili also started to beat the drums in his heart, and the two looked at each other with tacit worry.
The routes of these shops are not all the same, and it is impossible to be delayed on the road at the same time. The only possibility is that there is a problem with the king as the starting point, and they have not received any news, which is too strange.
As he was thinking, the soldier in charge of the city defense ran over from a distance, gasping for breath: "Master, general, there is a scholar named Pei outside the city asking to see him, saying that he is from the royal capital..."
Before they finished speaking, the expressions of the two changed slightly, and at the same time they blurted out: "Bring him here!"
The soldier got the order and ran back the same way. Soon he took a person. Under the gloomy sky, he couldn't see his face. He saw his messy clothes and dusty clothes. Obviously he came from a long distance. Chu Jinglan walked forward. Two steps, he slammed down on his feet with a stride, his Adam's apple rolled twice, and he spit out hoarse and heavy words.
"Lord!"
Chu Jinglan no longer cared about how much dust he had on his body and how tired his expression was. He pulled him up and asked quickly, "What's the matter?"
Pei Yuanshu's lips trembled, and he exhausted all his strength before squeezing out a sentence: "The Xie family's family was destroyed, and the princess... was captured by the Forbidden Army..."
Hearing this, the two of them suddenly felt like five thunders, unable to move for a long time.
Chu Jinglan's hands were unconsciously loosened, Pei Yuanshu slid to the ground, and what he was holding in his arms stunned. He woke up like a dream, and tremblingly pulled out the tightly guarded scroll, and raised his hands above his head. Presented to Chu Jinglan.
"Master, the emperor's will has been found, and the teacher asked me to hand it over to you..."
The orange halo shone straight on the scroll in his hand, and the dazzling color pierced Chu Jinglan with slight pain in his eyes. The five-clawed golden dragon and the vermilion ribbon, the appearance in memory had never been so clearly presented before his eyes. He thought he should be ecstatic or regarded as a treasure, but he snatched it almost rudely, then turned and walked towards the city gate.
"Lord!"
Pei Yuanshu hurriedly got up and chased for two steps. However, his legs had no strength to keep up with Chu Jinglan. At this moment, Lu Heng and Tang Qingfeng arrived, one by one stopped in front of Chu Jinglan with doubts. Watching this scene.
"what happened?"
No one answered Lu Heng's words, and Chu Jinglan told Tang Qingfeng: "Assemble all the shadow guards and return to the capital."
Lu Heng finally realized that something was wrong, and stopped Tang Qingfeng with one hand, and then carefully scanned the faces of everyone present, and inferred a conclusion-the king was in trouble.
Then let Chu Jinglan go back and throw himself into the net.
He persuaded very calmly: "Since the incident has been revealed, we can't follow the original plan. We should return to the North as soon as possible to deploy troops."
"Yang'er is in their hands, I must go back." Chu Jinglan waved him away coldly, but he suddenly grabbed it with his backhand.
"You are crazy! Going back is a dead end!" Lu Heng did not expect that he was so irrational and patiently persuaded him, "Do you think she would want you to save her at such a big risk?"
"that's not important."
"Then what's important!" Lu Heng's forehead twitched with anger.
"It's important for her to be alive." After finishing speaking, Chu Jinglan shook his hand categorically, and strode forward without looking back, decisively in appearance, as if a sharp sword came out of its sheath and pointed directly at the royal capital. Lu Heng was stunned for a moment, his eyes flashed over the bright yellow in his hand, and suddenly he understood everything.
He made two-handed preparations, and could not save Ye Huaiyang, so he exchanged his life and will.
Over the years, whether he is fighting with soldiers or seeking power to seize power, he has always been familiar with his heart and is as firm as a rock. How can he be so uncertain as today? Ye Huaiyang really made him go crazy...
Thinking of this, Lu Heng couldn't help shouting: "Now I really don't know if she is here to help you or destroy you!"
Chu Jinglan paused, without turning his head, but the faint voice penetrated Lu Heng's ears like thunder.
"Aheng, the Xie family has been destroyed."
Lu Heng suddenly stiffened, and it took a long time to react. A heart fell uncontrollably, and fell into the bottomless abyss with a violent contraction, panicking for no end, and then his chest seemed to be blocked, and he couldn't breathe. It hurts to burst gradually.
Xie Yun...dead?
Lu Heng didn't seem to feel the impact this incident had on him, but Chu Jinglan stopped talking about it, because he knew that Ye Huaiyang would suffer more if he delayed for a second, and he could no longer stay. Up. So he used his light power to quickly rush towards the city gate, where there are ready-made horses, and he can rush to the royal capital immediately. As for all of these in Shu, life or death has nothing to do with him.
The people of Jiangshan are not as important as her alone.
The wind whistling in his ears, light and shadow, I don't know when it mixed with another body, as vigorous as a leopard, and went hand in hand with him. He did not turn his head to look, but heard the extremely depressed voice of the man.
"If Yang'er has three long and two short, I will never let you go."
