A girl who is a criminal in the medical profession has a good fortune, and aristocratic families are

The people in the camp quickly cleared up the place and divided into two groups.

One wave goes east, one wave goes west.

When they parted ways, Zhou Qiong raised his eyes and looked at His Highness Xijue Wu and said: "Your Highness, Fifth Highness, remember what you promised me."

His Highness Xijuewu nodded solemnly, "Don't worry."

As he said that, he seemed a little worried and said: "I will do as you say when I go back this time, but you must also remember your promise. You must do what you promise me."

"can!"

As soon as the person heading to the Western Region left, Yunling sighed: "I don't think he has much hope."

Zhou Qiong nodded, "There is almost no hope. But it depends on manpower. If his brothers are as stupid as him, it is not impossible for them to plan."

"Aren't you afraid that he won't listen to you when he goes back?"

"After being captured by me and taking away the identity jade pendant, he will have the leverage in my hands for the rest of his life. Besides..."

Zhou Qiong watched the troops go away and said with a smile: "I gave him a prescription to cure the plague through the Yiduo tribe. As long as he acts according to my plan, he will be able to make meritorious deeds when he returns. After tasting the sweetness, he will definitely You will understand that since he is powerless in Xijue, we can win-win by cooperating with me."

His Highness Xijue Wu needs help, and he will also need Xijue's cooperation in the future to firmly control Qingzhou.

......

Yanzhou, the official residence a hundred miles away from the Zhongwu Army camp.

"Has Ruidu's reply arrived? When will the medicinal materials be delivered? Where are the people nearby who went out to buy them? Have they bought the medicinal materials? Why is no one answering me?"

Wu Guogong stood at the top and slapped the table in front of him.

Everyone below lowered their heads fearfully, and no one had the courage to reply.

They have no answers to these questions.

The medicinal materials shipped from Ruidu had long been used up. Because there was no effective isolation at the beginning, the epidemic had swept through the entire camp.

Almost all the soldiers in the entire camp were infected with the disease. Due to the large number of people and the lack of medicine, and the frequent gatherings and contact with each other, the epidemic became more dangerous.

Now, 10,000 of the 200,000 loyal warriors have died, and another 10,000 are about to follow suit. There are also 50,000 to 60,000 seriously ill soldiers who are in urgent need of life-saving decoctions, otherwise they will not be able to survive for long.

Although there was military pay from the imperial court, the Liu family spent their efforts and money to raise the Zhongwu Army little by little. Now that so many people died all at once, how could Liu Boyi not be heartbroken?

His heart bleeds every day.

Ruidu brought a prescription to treat the disease, but there was no medicine. What is the difference between this and a clever woman trying to make a meal without rice?

It just so happens that these losers are so weak that they can't handle even the smallest of things.

"In short, no matter what method you use, whether you buy it or rob it, you must find the medicinal materials. If you continue to kill people, you won't have to live! Get out!"

Liu Boyi kicked the person out.

"Hey, what do we do with this? Can we still conjure medicinal materials out of thin air?"

"Oh, please stop saying a few words. I don't know what's going on with Ruidu. He hasn't sent the medicinal materials for a long time. The Duke has written several urgent letters to urge me but there has been no response. Isn't this because he is anxious and angry?"

"Then you can't take it out on us!"

An official muttered in a low voice: "They know how to squeeze us every day. I am afraid of catching the epidemic. I have never visited the camp once, and I am not afraid that the soldiers will be disappointed."

"Shhh, stop saying a few words, no one is willing to risk his life!"

"I don't know why he's here. If he doesn't come, we won't do things the same way."

"Ahem, I have heard that there is a plague in Qingzhou. Prince Zhou went there in person. No, the Liu family also had to come when something happened in Yanzhou, otherwise it would not be justified."

"I heard that this time the prescription was developed by Qingzhou!"

"The army in Zhenxi is lucky. With the Crown Prince of Zhou here, it's not like us."

"Forget it, the distant water can't save the near fire. In my opinion, Rui Dudu's medicinal materials won't be delivered too soon. It's mainly the Liu family's own fault."

"That's right, the Liu family sneaked back to Ruidu and infected all the people in Ruidu. Your Majesty is busy treating the people in Ruidu and is beyond your reach."

Not long after everyone left, an urgent letter was delivered to Duke Wu.

Liu Boyi seemed to feel something in his heart. He paused in his usual eagerness to open the letter, and then asked the messenger: "What happened in Ruidu?"

The messenger shook his head and said, "The person who sent the message quickly fainted."

Liu Boyi nodded, "Then go out."

As soon as the person left, he slowly opened the envelope.

There are only two thin pages, with only a few lines on each page.

After reading the first page, Liu Boyi immediately turned pale and was about to collapse.

When he saw the content on the second page, he fell to the ground with a "pop".

When he fell, he tripped over the stool and made a crashing sound.

The servants who had not gone far hurriedly ran back and saw Liu Boyi falling to the ground.

"Master Guo!" The servant reached out to help him, but saw that the usually dignified Duke Wu was trembling all over.

He leaned on the low couch under the window and said, "My lord, what's wrong with you? Do you want to see a doctor?"

Liu Boyi didn't seem to hear it. His eyes fell on the paper scattered on the ground. His eyes were hollow and inexplicably frightening.

Following Duke Wu's line of sight, the literate servant caught a glimpse of the contents on the two pages.

The first page read that the old lady and the young father-in-law were ill and had a high fever that would not go away.

On the second page, it is said that the eldest prince is not dead and is now supervising the country in Ruidu for His Majesty who is sick.

The servant's eyes suddenly darkened, and he understood why the Duke had reacted the way he did.

God, once they come out, things will change in Ruidu.

He stood aside blankly, standing like a pillar, not daring to disturb his master.

I do not know how long it has been.

Maybe a quarter of an hour, or an hour.

Liu Boyi's voice sounded again, "Go out, take everyone in the yard out, and come back to clean up after an hour."

"Yes!"

When everyone around him fell silent, Liu Boyi knelt on the ground.

"Ah! Mother, Yan'er, my Yan'er!" He burst into tears.

He just came to Yanzhou, how could things develop to such an extent?

He whimpered, and after a while he finally raised his head, his eyes red from crying filled with bloodthirsty hatred.

He slammed his fist on the brick floor, letting blood flow from his fingers.

"Zhou Qiong!"

If it weren't for Zhou Qiong, who was still sitting peacefully in Ruidu at this moment, his Yan'er wouldn't have gone out for fun and encountered Liu Zhenghui, and the mother and Yan'er wouldn't have died of the disease!

It's all Zhou Qiong, it's all Zhou Qiong's fault!

Also, Xiao Cong.

When he thought of Xiao Cong, Liu Boyi's hateful brain slowly calmed down.

He's not dead...

Maybe all this is the arrangement of Zhou Qiong and Xiao Cong?

Liu Boyi gritted his teeth.

If that's the case, let's get rid of the problem.
