Chapter 665
Duan Renpeng said: "Okay, my lord, can we go back now?"

After Guo Qishuai and Duan Renpeng returned to the county office, it was already past dinner time, but His Royal Highness had already ordered the kitchen to heat up the prepared meals for them.

After Guo Qishuai had dinner, he expressed his doubts to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

His Royal Highness was very excited, and said: "If this is the case, then the matter will be easy to handle. I will immediately send a hundred teams, five people in each team, to ask all the families in Yangmei County, and I will give you an answer after dawn. .”

Guo Qishuai nodded and said: "His Royal Highness, you should take care of this matter. We will solve the plague in Yangmei County as soon as possible, and we will be able to return to the capital earlier."

"I know that the situation in the capital is also very critical. I hope that my father can control the situation and wait for me to go back."

"Also, His Royal Highness, is there any progress in the cure for the plague?"

The prince looked sad, sighed, and said: "Hey, the doctor Hua and the doctor Ye tried the medicine for a day today, but five people died on the side of the doctor Hua, and eight people died on the side of the doctor Ye. A patient with a mild illness also turned into a severe illness. Physician Hua suspected that there was something wrong with the Broken Heart Pill, but Divine Doctor Ye said that the amount of the Broken Heart Pill was too small, and the dosage should be increased. Physician Hua firmly opposed it. He said that the Broken Heart Pill was highly poisonous. If the dosage increases, the patients will not be able to bear it. The prince is also in a state of distress now, and it seems that there are no more hospital beds, but there are still many critically ill patients being transported here every day."

"His Royal Highness, these plague patients must be isolated in a centralized manner, and they must not be allowed to stay at home, otherwise, the plague will be more difficult to control. Severely ill patients must also be admitted to the intensive care unit. If there are not enough wards, some inns can be requisitioned. The court can Give those inns some subsidies."

The prince nodded in agreement and said: "This is a good idea. The prince also wants to temporarily build a few simple houses to treat patients, but now we don't need them."

"Well, in a moment, His Royal Highness, please call the doctor Ye, the doctor Hua, and those doctors who have been treating patients for a long time to the lobby of the county government office. Let's discuss the treatment method, and make sure they wear masks."

The prince said he would give orders.

When the prince and Guo Qishuai were discussing how to save people, suddenly Eunuch Zhang came in and said that General Zhao Jinglang outside the door asked to see him.

The prince hurriedly asked Zhao Jinglang to come in and answer. Guo Qishuai was afraid of hearing something he shouldn't hear, so he wanted to withdraw first, but the prince said that Guo Qishuai was the person he trusted the most. If he couldn't even trust himself, then he had no one to trust. people.

Guo Qishuai was very grateful and stayed.

After Zhao Jinglang came in, he knelt on the ground and said, "The last general has met His Royal Highness, the Great General of Calming the Chaos."

The prince said: "Get up!"

After Zhao Jinglang got up, he stepped back with Xiaobu and was very polite to the prince.

"General Zhao Jinglang, what do you want to say?"

"Back to Your Highness, I have some good news and some bad news."

"Say the good news first."

"After the Beiman soldiers returned, most of them were infected with the plague. The entire Beiman tribe is in a state of chaos. They have no treatment plan, nor have they taken any protection, leaving the common people to fend for themselves."

When the prince heard this, he clapped his hands excitedly, and said, "Okay! It's really good news. Then there's another bad news?"

"The bad news is that the [-] shi of rice we raised from Daohua County, a hundred miles away, was looted by the robbers on Qinglong Mountain when we passed by Qinglong Mountain. Now the food in the city may only last for three days. , when the time comes, the common people will have nothing to eat, and this plan to seal the county may come to nothing."

The prince slapped the table angrily, and said: "Is this person from Qinglong Mountain too bold? How dare he even grab the imperial court's disaster relief food?"

Zhao Jinglang said: "His Royal Highness, as far as the general knows, there are only a few hundred robbers in Qinglong Mountain, and there is nothing to be afraid of. They only rob some passing merchants on weekdays, and no one is killed. The government is also turning a blind eye to them. Turn a blind eye, but this time, there are thousands of robbers from Qinglong Mountain, and all of them are strong in martial arts, it seems that there are other people supporting Qinglong Mountain."

The prince thought for a moment and said, "Could it be my elder brother?"

Zhao Jinglang said: "His Royal Highness, it's hard to say, but the most important thing for us right now is to get back the [-] shi of grain, otherwise, there may be chaos in Yangmei County."

The prince said: "But our Yangmei County has only [-] defenders, and Qinglong Mountain is easy to defend and difficult to attack. I'm afraid we will suffer heavy casualties."

Zhao Jinglang said: "The final general is willing to lead 1000 troops to go to Qinglong Mountain to grab the food back."

The prince shook his head and said: "No, 1000 troops are too few. Didn't you say that there are more than 1000 robbers on Qinglong Mountain, and all of them are strong in martial arts? How about this, I will give you 3000 troops, and you go and kill the robbers on Qinglong Mountain." It's gone."

After Zhao Jinglang thanked the prince again, he was about to set off, but Guo Qishuai said, "Your Highness, the Qinglong Mountain is powerful in martial arts, and easy to defend and difficult to attack. I am afraid that 3000 troops will not be able to subdue those robbers."

The prince said: "But, Mr. Guo, we really can't get any extra people out."

Guo Qishai said: "Your Highness, I don't mean that. What I mean is, let me go with only 1000 troops. I will use ten people with strong martial arts skills to defeat Qinglong Mountain with one against a hundred people." .”

The prince happily took Guo Qishai's hand and said: "Master Guo, you are really my lucky general! If I can successfully ascend the throne, I will definitely make you the number one warrior in the Xing Dynasty."

Guo Qishuai said: "His Royal Highness, there is no need to say polite words. I will act tonight, and I ask His Royal Highness to help me prepare 10 taels of silver."

The prince's face sank immediately, and he said, "10 taels of silver? Why do you need so much?"

"If you want those people from Qinglong Mountain to take the bait, you must have this 10 taels of silver."

"But, Mr. Guo, the entire Yangmei County only has 8 taels of silver. If you use all of it, this..."

Guo Qishai said: "Your Highness, please rest assured. I am just borrowing it for a while. You give me 10 taels of silver. When the time comes, I will take over the Qinglong Mountain bandits' lair. Doesn't all their silver belong to Your Highness?"

The prince smiled happily and said: "The prince is not stingy, but Yang Ye took away a lot of money from Yangmei County before, and the treasury is 10% short. Now it is really difficult to get enough of the [-] taels of silver."

Guo Qishuai said: "His Royal Highness is doing his best for the people of Yangmei County. Many wealthy businessmen see it. If His Royal Highness borrows money from those wealthy businessmen in the name of the court and explains why, I think they will support His Royal Highness. of."

"It's just the money...in case..."
