"It doesn't matter." Qin Mu waved his hand calmly, "The purpose of our trip is to go deep into the epidemic area. The smallpox in the epidemic area is raging, so there is no delay. We need to enter the epidemic area as soon as possible."

Hearing this, the commander of the defenders did not hesitate at all, and hurriedly waved, "Let go."

Behind him, the soldier lifted the rejected horse on the official road to make way.

Although Qin Mu didn't have a common document, he only relied on his words: Go deep into the epidemic area and rescue the people.

The commander of the defenders had no reason to stop him.

After all, out of tens of millions of people, only Qin Mu and his party went upstream in the face of the smallpox plague.

What courage, what awe-inspiring righteousness.

"Thank you General, let's go."

Under the leadership of Qin Mu, everyone marched through the checkpoint.

From the moment they stepped into the epidemic area, it seemed that the world had changed color.

"My son-in-law, take care, brothers, take care."

"My son-in-law, take care, brothers, take care."

.....

The commander of the defenders and the soldiers behind him bowed their hands.

In their view, what Qin Mu and his party did has already been called heroes of the Tang Dynasty.

at the same time.

Li Erzheng was waiting for news from Qin Mu in the Hall of Liangyi with all the civil and military officials.

Today is exactly the seventh day.

Early in the morning, he sent people to the camp to see if Qin Mu's method was effective.

Does vaccination with vaccinia really immunize against smallpox?

After a while, Li Junxian broke in from outside the hall, and came to Li Er's side in a hurry, leaning into his ear, "Your Majesty, something is wrong, the son-in-law has led the team to leave the camp and go to the epidemic area."

"What!" Li Er yelled in surprise, and stood up from the dragon chair, "This bastard, how dare he?"

Seeing Li Er's appearance, all the Chinese and military officials in the palace cast curious eyes.

"Your Majesty, did something happen to Mu'er?" Changsun Wuji also asked anxiously.

Cheng Yaojin, Yu Chigong and Qin Shubao were equally anxious with him.

The sons of the three of them went to the camp, ready to die with Qin Mu.

Li Er sighed, and pondered: "He led the team and went deep into the epidemic area."

"What?" Changsun Wuji also exclaimed, "Mu'er led them to the epidemic area?"

This incident shocked Li Er and all civil and military officials.

They didn't expect that Qin Mu would be so bold that he dared to lead the team deep into the smallpox-ravaged area.

It was a place where life could be lost at any time.

Li Er didn't know whether Qin Mu's inoculation of vaccinia worked, or whether he was bold and skilled.

But one thing he is clear.

Qin Mu has great righteousness in his heart and cares about the people, otherwise how could he break into the epidemic area so disregarding life and death.

"My son-in-law is really benevolent. At first I thought he was joking, but I didn't expect that he actually went to Wannian County..."

"Hey, I still think that what the son-in-law said about vaccination with cowpox is nonsense. Now it seems that I am superficial..."

"The son-in-law is really a hero, courageous and magnanimous. We questioned him so much in the court that day, but he didn't bother to defend us. Now he is going against the current..."

All civil and military officials listened to Li Er's words, and they all sighed with emotion.

At this moment, apart from cheering Qin Mu up, they really had nothing else to do.

"Your Majesty, what should we do? Are we just waiting here?"

Changsun Wuji looked at Li Er with anxiety on his face.

"Otherwise, what should we do?" Li Er's face was gloomy, "Is it possible that I will send another team to die?"

Li Er cursed inwardly: Bastard, does cowpox have immune effect on smallpox? He left without even saying a word. He really deserves to be beaten.

"Alas..." Changsun Wuji sighed, and now he can only pray for Qin Mu, hoping that the cowpox he inoculated is really immune to smallpox.

Otherwise, their trip to Wannian County would have narrowly escaped death.

Although Li Er scolded Qin Mu, he still admired him very much in his heart. He dared to go deep into the hinterland of the epidemic area under such circumstances. This courage alone is admirable.

"Li Junxian."

"The end is here."

"Send someone to check at the official road checkpoint. Once there is news about Qin Mu, report it to me immediately. Remember that even if you die, I will still see Qin Mu's body."

"The last general takes orders."

......

At the same time, Qin Mu has led his army to Wannian County.

During this trip, besides bringing a lot of disinfection supplies, the most he brought was food.

Although the imperial court regularly distributes grain to the periphery of Wannian County, the territory of Wannian County is now in chaos.

It is estimated that some people have no food in their homes.

Before solving smallpox, he has two things to do, open a shed for soup, and suppress riots.

On both sides of the official road, corpses can be seen everywhere, making it easy to imagine what happened in Wannian County in just a few days.

"No...don't kill me..."

On the side of the official road, a man was struggling to escape with a bundle in his arms.

Behind him, several villains with horizontal knives were chasing after him, "Damn it, stop and hand over the food, or I will kill you alive."

A few people chased after each other, when they saw the flags dancing in the wind and the marching team.

Both the man and the villain stopped in place, staring blankly at the marching team.

Did the imperial court send someone here?

Questions arose in their hearts.

"Guard, save my lord, these thieves are going to kill me." The man ran towards the marching team in panic, as if seeing a savior.

Those villains cursed secretly, turned around and tried to escape.

Qin Mu looked at the fleeing villains, with a cold light in his eyes, "During the plague, those who commit crimes will be killed without mercy."

After the words fell, one man and one horse galloped away from the marching team, and killed the fleeing villains.

In just a moment, they chased after several villains.

"My lord, listen to my explanation, we are forced to do nothing, please..."

Before he finished speaking, a halberd pierced his chest.

Then the halberd in his hand swung out, and the remaining few people were all decapitated.

In extraordinary times, the wrist is iron and blood, otherwise it will not be enough to anger the people, not enough to reassure the people.

Chapter 167 : Will the plan come out?

On the official road from the checkpoint to Wannian County.

Qin Mu and his party did not give any of the rioters a chance to explain, and forced their way out.

During the ravages of the plague, any crime cannot be tolerated.

This is the bottom line, the bottom line of being a human being.

When Qin Mu arrived in Wannian County, it was different from what he had imagined.

Wannian County, which should have been more chaotic, was unusually calm, and corpses piled up outside the county were being burned.

Except for those people who had not been infected with smallpox and were still hiding at home, the rest were gathered in the square in front of the county government office.

Seeing Qin Mu and his party coming in mighty style.

The people all showed wonder and expectation, but no one dared to step forward to make trouble.

"The county magistrate of Wannian County is really not simple. In such a special period, Wannian County is managed in an orderly manner. The more this period is, the more you can see a person's ability."

Chang Sun Chong couldn't help sighing as he looked at the gathered people and the streets where there were no dead bodies.

If he were to do this job, it would be impossible to do it so beautifully.

After a while, a strong and persistent commander led a few government soldiers out of the county government office, and came towards Qin Mu and his party.

Cheng Chumo was overjoyed when he saw the visitor, "Brother Pei! It turns out that Brother Pei is stationed here, no wonder the security in Wannian County is so stable."

Qin Mu looked at the commander who was walking towards them, and couldn't help showing some appreciation, it turned out to be Pei Xingjian.

Pei Xingjian, who abides by the word, was born in the middle family of Pei's family in Hedong.

He is also a ruthless man, carrying a lonely army, going deep into thousands of miles, rebelling against the party and capturing barbarians without bloodshed, he is versatile in both civil and military affairs.

When Pei Xingjian was a teenager, he was appointed as Hongwen Sheng by virtue of his predecessors' meritorious service. Because of his extremely high military talent, he was transferred to the Ministry of War by Li Er.

He is currently on a shift in Wannian County, and he happened to catch up with the smallpox plague.

Pei Xingjian walked thirty feet away from Qin Mu's group and stopped, and bowed deeply to Qin Mu, "The last general, Pei Xingjian, has seen the son-in-law."

Seeing the reinforcements, he was much calmer than expected.

Qin Mu returned the salute, "General Pei, you have worked hard."

Qin Mu admired Pei Xingjian, who cared about the common people and was very capable.

"Observe the promise." Cheng Chumo shouted loudly, and was about to rush forward.

Pei Xingjian hastily waved his hand to stop him, and said anxiously: "Chu Mo, don't go any further." Then he looked at Qin Mu, and said in a deep voice, "My son-in-law, you just leave the supplies and food, don't stay in Wannian County, The smallpox plague was at its peak, and more and more people were being infected."

The words were full of resentment and concern.

"It doesn't matter." Qin Mu waved his hand lightly, "We have found a way to fight the plague, and now we are not afraid of smallpox, otherwise we wouldn't dare come to Wannian County with great fanfare for rescue."

"Really?" Pei Xingjian's eyes widened in disbelief.

This was the best news he had heard since the smallpox outbreak in Wannian County.

In the past few days, the soldiers around him have contracted smallpox one after another and have been bedridden, and some of them have even returned to their hometowns. Pei Xingjian is deeply saddened.

"Hey..." Cheng Chu smiled silently, "Keeping the promise, the son-in-law can still lie to you with this matter, don't worry, no matter how long we stay in Wannian County, we are not afraid of being infected with smallpox."

Hearing this, Pei Xingjian nodded solemnly. The mood at this moment can be described in words, but it is more sad.

After entering the government office.

Qin Mu learned that the reason why Pei Xingjian was not infected with smallpox was that he was infected with smallpox when he was young, and now he is immune to smallpox.

Otherwise he would have fallen down long ago.

However, the government affairs of the entire Wannian County have been paralyzed, and Wannian County, which was already old, died yesterday.

If it wasn't for Pei Xingjian's iron-blooded wrist to forcibly claim the name of a butcher, otherwise he alone would not be able to deter the entire Wannian County.

The soldiers in Wannian County, who followed him to suppress disasters in the past few days, have all fallen in the early morning of this morning, and they have all been infected with smallpox.

Originally, Pei Xingjian had already given up hope, and it counted as a day if he could last.

Unexpectedly, Qin Mu and the others suddenly came to help today.

"General Pei, Wannian County is indebted to you. After returning to the palace, I will definitely explain your achievements to His Majesty." Qin Mu looked at Pei Xingjian who was on the side, showing approval.

"Alas..." Pei Xingjian let out a long sigh, "In the past few days in Wannian County, I have seen too much parting of life and death, seeing the warmth and coldness of the world. Just one peace of mind."

"Don't worry." Qin Mu stood up and patted him on the shoulder, "With me here, Wannian County will recover soon."

Hearing Qin Mu's words, Pei Xingjian felt inexplicable confidence. He believed in Qin Mu. He had heard too many legends about Qin Mu.

At the same time, he also respected Qin Mu in awe.
