The people of Puyang County are now gathering around the notice at the yamen gate and chattering about it.

Young Master Lu was severely punished, which was undoubtedly a very satisfying thing for them.

No one noticed that two carriages were slowly driving out of the side gate of the county government office.

In order to make it easier to take care of Luo Yuqi, Xu Rongrong arranged their mother and daughter to be in the same carriage as Shu Qing.

After the fever subsided, the girl had woken up, but her energy was still a little wilted.

Seeing this, Xu Rongrong knew that she would probably have a high fever again later, so while asking Shu Qing to watch her carefully, she told Chu He to hurry up. They had to rush to the next county as soon as possible so that Luo Yuqi could take the medicine.

The group of people left Puyang County in a hurry.

In a courtyard not far from the county government office, Mu Rong was sitting in the courtyard drinking tea.

In front of him stood Mu Ai who was reporting the news:

"My subordinates have already investigated and found out that the Luo mother and daughter are indeed from Yuzhou. Their identities are not abnormal. It seems that they are not deliberately approached by someone with ulterior motives."

"The driver of the young lady's car has just left Puyang County, but someone seems to be following her."

"Have you found out who it is?" Mu Rong asked.

Mu Ai lowered his head and said, "It seems to be someone sent by His Highness the Second Highness. I have ordered someone to follow him."

Mu Rong sneered: "His people should be following me, but they couldn't detect our whereabouts and instead focused on her."

"I think it was because His Highness the Crown Prince repeatedly invited the Marquis to the East Palace, and His Highness the Second Highness discovered it."

Mu Rong turned the tea cup in his hand and continued: "He doesn't know what the prince and I are planning. In addition, Rongrong's trip to the capital is considered a secret trip. He is afraid that I will pretend to entrust Rongrong to run errands for the prince. "

This second prince is really stupid!

"Does the Marquis need his subordinates to go and get rid of the person who is following him?" Mu Ai asked.

Mu Rong thought for a moment and put down the teacup in his hand: "No, how can you be sure that he only sent that wave of people to follow?"

"How about that?"

Mu Rong stood up slowly, his dark cloak and the aura exuding from his body almost blending into one.

He ordered: "We will go out with the honor guard of a first-class military prince, and order all the Puyang County government officials to kneel down and pay homage to us."

Mu Ai was shocked: "But...if this happens, won't your whereabouts be completely exposed, Lord Marquis?"

Mu Rong smiled slightly: "Only in this way, the people on the second prince's side will no longer pay attention to her."

But Mu Ai disapproved. He cupped his hands and said, "Master Hou, think again!"

The Marquis's dealings with the East Palace were not deliberately concealed from others. If the second prince was really involved in the Jiangnan incident, and it was discovered that the Marquis was investigating the case for His Royal Highness, then the Marquis... would be in danger of his life.

Mu Ai said what he was thinking, and Mu Rong smiled and said: "Yes, your mind is moving very fast now."

He waved his hand: "It doesn't matter, let's go make arrangements."

He had only one purpose: to prevent people from staring at his little girl.

On the other side, soldiers will come to block it, and water will come to cover it with earth.

He also wants to see who can stop him!

So, when Weiyuan Hou Mu Rong led a team of dozens of people to cross the main street in the middle of the county, the magistrate of Lu County and the county government officials knelt on both sides of the road and bowed their heads to see him off.

Everyone only saw the ceremonial style of Marquis Weiyuan.

But no one noticed that the official robes of Lu Zhi County were already soaked through.

Yesterday, he thought that the deputy general holding the token was the county lord's bodyguard.

But I didn’t expect that he turned out to be from Weiyuan Hou!

There is actually a bigger Buddha hidden in his own county.

Presumably, what happened yesterday cannot be covered up.

……

For a whole day, Luo Yuqi's fever kept coming back and forth, and then rising and falling again, without any improvement.

Xu Rongrong sensed something was wrong, but she didn't want to cause panic due to unfounded suspicion, so when passing by the next county town, she calmly hired another carriage.

Shu Qing was an understanding person. He asked Luo Xiao to ride in a carriage alone on the grounds that Luo Yuqi needed to rest.

While resting in the suburbs, he came to Xu Rongrong's car.

Just as Xu Rongrong was about to open the window, Shu Qing stopped her: "Let's talk through the window like this."

Xu Rongrong's heart skipped a beat, and she asked in a low voice: "Is it an epidemic?"

Shu Qing shook his head and nodded again.

Then he remembered that Xu Rongrong could not see his movements, so he lowered his voice:

"The symptoms... are very similar! But judging from the pulse, they are not the same!"

"Just now when the girl was awake, she mentioned that her father also had a high fever that wouldn't go away, and he gave up after seven or eight days."

Xu Rongrong dragged her cheeks, thought for a long time, and asked doubtfully: "But isn't the epidemic a violent disease? How could it lie dormant for so long?"

"That's why I can't make a conclusion." Shu Qing's eyebrows were about to twist into knots. "The epidemic is not like ordinary diseases. It is highly contagious and explosive. Brother Ke Luo has been dead for more than a month, and Luo Yatou has just gotten sick. , This doesn’t make sense anyway! What’s more, the Luo Xiao family has been with their father and daughter for a long time, but they haven’t had any symptoms at all.”

Xu Rongrong now has a habit of not worrying about a road that doesn't work.

She asked: "If you were given time, you might be able to develop a treatment?"

Shu Qing responded: "Okay."

Xu Rongrong breathed a sigh of relief: "In that case, you can concentrate on the research and don't worry about anything else. We will rush to Yuzhou as soon as possible. I believe that when we get there, there will naturally be clues that they are infected."

Seeing that she had made up her mind, Shu Qing stopped worrying. After a few more discussions, he returned to his carriage.

Chu He sat in the car and fell asleep, and he completely heard the conversation between Xu Rongrong and Shu Qing.

He didn't say much.

During the next journey, he kept urging the carriage and rushed towards Yuzhou.

……

When they were about to enter the boundary of Jiangnan Road, Luo Yuqi no longer had repeated fevers.

Shu Qing spent four days developing a prescription to reduce her fever. Now, the little girl only has a slight cough.

Xu Rongrong felt much relieved.

When approaching Yuzhou, they met Mu Ai...

The lieutenant had obviously been running all the way, and his face was covered in dust and looked exhausted.

It was as if he had just experienced a big battle.

Xu Rongrong asked strangely: "Why is Vice General Ai here?"

Mu Ai dismounted, saluted in front of Xu Rongrong's carriage, and replied: "I am traveling to the south of the Yangtze River. The Marquis has important matters and cannot go to Yuzhou with the county lord, so he ordered his subordinates to come and protect him."

Without waiting for Xu Rongrong's answer, Chu He glanced coldly and said, "No need, I will protect the county master's safety."

Mu Ai sneered: "I have earned a salary since I led the army. I will do whatever the Marquis tells me to do."

Xu Rongrong didn't want to see the two of them quarreling here, so he asked, "But now that you are here, won't there be no one around the Marquis?"

Mu Ai lowered his head and said in a deep voice: "County Lord, don't worry, the Marquis still has Mu Lu by his side."

When Chu He heard this, he raised his eyebrows almost inaudibly: Mu Lu?Ha...it's just trash.

Because Yuzhou was so close, Xu Rongrong didn't want to waste time on such a trivial matter, so he said, "In that case, just follow us. When we get to Yuzhou, you can go back."

After saying that, she lowered the car curtain.

The car curtains swayed gently in the wind, revealing her profile from time to time.

Mu Ai looked in his eyes, thinking of his own Marquis... his eyes were dark.
