When they were approaching Lingquan Town, Yan Shu said to Jiang Ci, "Let everyone stop for a moment."

Jiang Ci immediately waved his hand to signal everyone to stop.

Yan Shu took out the mask he had prepared in advance and handed it to Huanying.

"Let me tell you, remember not to take this thing off casually after entering Lingquan Town."

Jiang Ci reminded: "You must remember Miss Yan's words."

"Yes!"

Huan Ying and others saw Yan Shu wearing a mask on the mountain and knew that it could be used to prevent the plague, so they all wore it on their faces obediently.

Along the way, everyone in Xuanzong also got to know Yan Shu a little bit. In the past, they were quite respectful to Yan Shu because of their master's face, but now they respect her more from the bottom of their hearts.

A young girl has superb medical skills and can even cure plagues. In their eyes, Yan Shu is a living miracle doctor, so they won't find anything strange when the miracle doctor comes up with some weird things.

The group of people came to the gate of Lingquan Town. Two city guards on the city tower heard the sound of horse hooves and looked down.

I saw a group of people riding tall horses at high speed, and they didn't look like they were fleeing refugees.

"Who is coming?"

Huanying took out a bronze medal from her arms and showed the front of it to the two people on the tower.

"We are from the northwest camp, and we came to Lingquan Town on errands on orders from the Marquis."

The two people on the tower were far away from the ground floor and couldn't see clearly the writing on the bronze medal. But when they heard that they were from the Northwest Camp, they didn't dare to turn them away.

"Everyone wait a moment!"

The two people hurriedly got off the city wall and lowered the door latch on the city gate. The gate slowly opened, and a group of people led by Jiang Ci rode horses and slowly entered the city.

"Excuse me, please show me the token again."

Huan Ying raised the token in front of the city guard and saw the four characters "Northwest Army Camp" on the token at close range. The two of them were busy bowing to each other.

"The plague is rampant in the city right now. Please be more careful, military lords."

"Thank you!"

Huanying thanked him and secretly thought that the young master had the foresight to take the token from the corpse of a deputy general in the northwest camp. At that time, he didn't know the young master's intention. It turned out that he was waiting here.

The group of people quickly entered the city without any obstruction.

As he walked through the main street of Lingquan Town, Yan Shu was shocked by the shocking scene in front of him. Funeral flags were hung at the door of every house. Because the plague was an infectious disease, corpses could not be left at home, so some people placed coffins directly outside the door. on the street.

Some people from poor families simply rolled the body into a straw mat and placed it on the side of the road. In some cases, the person was thrown out by his family before he could even die, and was left to freeze to death in the cold snow.

The main street in the town is not too long, but there are at least hundreds of corpses on this road. There are at least a dozen streets in the town, large and small. One can imagine how much the plague has done to Lingquan Town. casualties.

They didn't stop for a moment after entering Lingquan Town. Jiang Ci waved his hand and the team immediately divided into two groups and headed in different directions.

Yan Shu turned back curiously and looked at the group of Xuan Zong disciples who were leaving.

"Where are they going?"

Jiang Ci explained: "There is indeed something strange about this plague. They stayed in Lingquan Town to investigate the matter."

He seemed to be a little confused after hearing Jiang Ci's words.

"But what did you find?"

"A few months ago, there was a Baishantang pharmacy in Lingquan Town that gave out porridge to outsiders for three days. People in the city and many nearby refugees came here to queue up to receive the porridge. Not long after the porridge was given out, Lingquan Town broke out on a large scale. Plague, at the same time, several counties in Nanwei Prefecture also had similar porridge-giving situations, and it happened to be on those days."

Yan Shu frowned slightly: "Who is behind the poisoning in the name of giving out porridge?"

Jiang Ci analyzed: "The people who want to be rioting here the most and who are good at using poison are the ones who want the most at the moment."

A person suddenly appeared in Yan Shu's mind: "Tuoba Yan? If she had poisoned him a month ago, she would have already left Lingquan Town by now."

"It's not possible that he will arrive. This person is very enthusiastic and is good at disguise. He is probably hiding nearby to spy on everything that happens. I arranged for Wuming and the others to go to Baishan Hall to try their luck first. Maybe they can find out some useful information. .”

Yan Shu thought to himself and felt that Jiang Ci's analysis made sense.

Tuoba Yan dared to join the fleeing team alone at that time, which shows that she was very courageous and very confident in her abilities. If this plague did not achieve the effect she expected, she would definitely take action again.

With the token from the northwest camp, it will be much easier for them to enter and exit the city gate.

After successfully leaving Lingquan Town, we walked another four or five miles and finally saw a camp.

"Sir, the camp in front should be the temporary residence of Xinyang Mansion officials."

Jiang Ci glanced at the camp ahead and said in a deep voice, "Just stay here and wait."

Huan Ying was worried: "It's better to let my subordinates go and check things out."

"No, the purpose of our trip is to deliver prescriptions. Those officials will not be stupid enough to stir up trouble. If there is any situation, it will not be too late for you to go there."

Huan Ying nodded: "Okay, Master, Miss Yan, be careful."

Jiang Ci and Yan Shu quickly rode towards the camp.

There were several officers on guard duty near the camp. When they heard the sound of horse hooves, they immediately reached for the sabers on their waists and looked warily at the person coming.

"Who is coming?"

Yan Shu said: "But the official from Xinyang Mansion?"

After Jiang Ci and Yan Shu approached on horseback, several officials saw a pair of outstanding-looking young men and women sitting immediately. They didn't look like bad people.

"Yes, why are you here?"

Jiang Ci turned over and dismounted, reaching out to catch Yan Shu, and the two of them walked straight forward.

"I heard that the Gucheng Yamen posted a notice offering a reward of a thousand taels to anyone who could provide a cure for the plague. Today we are here to deliver the cure for the plague."

Several people looked at each other, and the leading officer chuckled.

"Which one of you is the doctor?"

Yan Shu took a step forward: "I am!"

"Haha, a little girl dares to call herself a doctor? Do you know how many famous doctors there are in this camp? Even Qin and Heng from Xinyang Mansion are here. You, a yellow-haired girl, think that your medical skills are superior to them?"

Jiang Ci's eyes turned cold for a moment: "You just need to communicate, it's not your turn to worry about other things."

"Hmph, if all the cats and dogs can go in and meet a few adults, wouldn't the adults be very busy? Who doesn't sleep and rest in the middle of the night? You just say you can meet someone if you want? You don't even think about your identity."

Yan Shu chuckled twice: "Are some of you not going to give me permission?"

The leading officer laughed lewdly and looked Yan Shu up and down with frivolous eyes.

"It's not impossible. If you can satisfy me, I will certainly fulfill your wish. The temptation of a thousand taels of gold is really too great. I have met a lot of people like you who come here for luck. If you don't If you pay some actual benefits, why should others help you?"

Yan Shu raised his eyebrows: "What benefits do you want?"

The man walked up to Yan Shu and said, "As long as the little beauty can stay with me for one night, I guarantee that I can take you to meet some adults early tomorrow morning. How about that?"

Before Yan Shu could take action, Jiang Ci pulled her behind him, with murderous intent in his eyes.

"No need, because you can't wait until tomorrow."

As soon as he finished speaking, he quickly stepped forward, grabbed the officer's throat, and twisted it hard. There was only a "click" sound, and the officer died on the spot before he could react.

"boom!"

Jiang Ci threw the body into the snow in disgust and glanced at the other people with dark eyes.

"If you don't want to die, go in and report."

Those people turned pale with fright, shouted "Killing!" and turned around and rushed towards the camp.
