Watch the sea

The rain was astonishingly heavy, even with umbrellas, when Su Lang and Xinghui arrived in the old mansion, their clothes were still half wet.

No one cared about wiping off the raindrops on their bodies, the courtyard was brightly lit, and the footsteps of servants coming and going from the house overlapped together, like chaotic drumbeats hitting people's hearts.

Aixiang was burning in the room, and several imperial physicians gathered in front of the old Duke's bed. Seeing Su Lang walking in, they sighed in unison. In the end, the leader Zhang Laoyuan shook his head and said, "Two Young master, let me be frank with you, the old man’s situation is not very good. The disease is very strange, it only rained, and then he suddenly became ill, it should not be like this.”

Su Lang thanked the imperial physician, there was no panic on his face, he calmly walked to the bed and looked at his unconscious grandfather.

The old man had already taken the medicine, and the recurring cough and epidemic made him pale as paper.Su Lang leaned over to hold his hand that was exposed outside the blanket, his eyes inevitably touched the dots of withered yellow spots on the back of his hand.He closed his eyes and opened them again, even though he had already made enough mental preparations before, when the menacing illness really hit his eyes, he was still apprehensive.The strangest and most notable feature of the epidemic that ravaged the five counties of Nanjiang and Yingbei was the unknown macula on the patient's body.

Zhang Laoyuan judge looked at the macula, thought it over and said: "This epidemic is really strange. The Tai Hospital has changed several prescriptions to treat the epidemic. It's okay to look at it during the day, but every night it is dew. When it was severe, the disease began to come and go again and again. Almost all the people who were infected in Yingbei were like this. It was very strange. But if you only look at the symptoms and pulse conditions, except for these strange yellow spots on the patient's body, it has nothing to do with ordinary diseases. No difference."

Su Lang was about to answer, when he suddenly felt the old man's fingers move slightly, he suddenly coughed in a drowsy state.Su Lang knew that his old illness had relapsed, so he hurriedly helped him up and sat on the couch, without thinking about it, he stroked his back and began to use his internal force to adjust his breathing.True Qi slowly flowed into the old Duke's meridians along Su Lang's palm, and the warmth rising from his heart made his complexion gradually improve.

However, the zhenqi hadn't finished circulating for a week, Su Lang's movements suddenly stopped, his expression changed suddenly, and his eyebrows were tightly knitted.

"Xinghui." He turned his head and shouted in a deep voice.

Xinghui was standing ten steps away from the bed with his eyes downcast, thinking about something secretly, when he heard Su Lang call him, he came forward, "what's the matter?"

Su Lang gave him a look, and moved aside to make room.

Can make Su Lang suddenly show such a serious and serious expression, Xinghui immediately realized that there was something wrong with the old man's body, he put his palm on the old man's back heart, the expression on his face has not been exhausted yet. Same as Su Lang.They looked at each other, and all their eyes turned to Zhang Laoyuan's sentence.

The old doctor Zhang quickly realized that the situation was wrong, and hurriedly checked the old man's pulse again, but this time the pulse was very different from the previous dangerous situation, and even seemed to be easing, Zhang Yuan gave a "huh" After thinking about it, it can only be that Su Lang's desperation just played a role in regulating the breath of the old country. He told the truth, but his heart was full of doubts.

After hearing this, Su Lang didn't move, but just nodded, obviously he was caressing, he continued to adjust the breath for the old man without changing his face.The result this time made Zhang Laoyuan even more surprised, the old man gradually woke up.

The sick old man realized the situation was out of control as soon as he woke up. He pulled Su Lang's sleeve and asked hoarsely, "What happened to Yingbei?"

Su Lang knew he couldn't hide it from him, so he nodded silently.

The old man patted his hand: "Go, the whole Yingbei is waiting for you, and don't let the imperial physicians be here with me. My grandfather is old. I haven't experienced anything at this age. It's not worth it."

"Go."

The old man's words reminded Su Lang that the rain outside the window never stopped, he glanced outside, Yingbei must have become a mess by now, he had a guess about the cause of this disaster, he was sore and angry, and returned He glanced over at his sick grandfather, but he still restrained himself from saying some words, only gritted his teeth and complied with the old Duke's instructions.

He turned around and bowed to all the imperial physicians, raised his head to meet the eyes of the judge in the old court, and said solemnly: "The flood has just passed, of course there will be epidemics, please do your best."

The imperial physicians took a step ahead, and Zhang Laoyuan glanced at Su Lang hesitantly, then went out with a frown.

Su Lang was a few steps behind them, after thinking for a while, he ordered the guard at the gate: "If grandfather feels any discomfort, please send someone to report to me."

Xinghui and Su Lang stepped into the rain curtain and headed towards Yingbei. The two of them were silent for a while, and Xinghui took the lead to break the silence: "I was thinking just now, not only is the old man strange, but also the time." No. From the first embankment breach on the south bank of the Lanjiang River, the flood in the five counties of the Nanjiang River and the outbreak of the epidemic, to the current epidemic spreading to the whole of Yingbei, it took only [-] days. From Nanjiang to Yinghai, hundreds of miles away, what kind of Can the plague be so severe? I have searched through the history of Kyushu, but I can’t find a second case.”

Su Lang's face was cold, he opened his mouth, but he didn't make a sound several times, obviously he was very angry, he took a deep breath, and said in a hateful voice: "Through the history of Kyushu, I can't find the second one that is so powerful I can't find another bastard like this. Just because of him, he is also entitled to control Kyushu? Our Yinghai is really grateful to him for his high-level glance. No wonder Jiang Di, a navy admiral Zuo, dared to besiege the city first. Killing people and doing things so terribly, it turned out that they already knew that this plague in Yinghai would not be cured."

He closed his eyes and slowed down, recalling the strangeness he had just discovered when he adjusted the breath for the old Duke, and said: "With the Dingkang Zhou family and the Cangwu Fang family blocking the front, I forgot that there is a mother behind King Jing." Clan, the Zhong family of Yanxi is worthy of being a centipede that dies but does not freeze, and is really good at using Gu."

The general behind him heard the conversation between the two, and interjected in a low voice: "My lord, the current Concubine Jing, surnamed Zhong and named Yiyun, was born in the Yanxi Zhong family."

Xinghui was about to be laughed out of anger, if it was said that when King Jing attacked Princess Qinghe, he just felt that this person had a cold heart, but today he realized that family affection and humanity are all nonsense in front of wolf ambition.

Today, the old man's cough relapsed, Su Lang subconsciously helped him adjust his breath, and they discovered the strangeness buried deep under the turbulent illness by mistake while the true energy was circulating.It's also fortunate that the two of them have high enough internal strength, and they may not be able to see the difference in their condition if they are in a different state from the Consciousness Void Realm.

Once the flood is over, the Nanjiang River is indeed prone to seasonal epidemics, but no matter how severe the epidemic is, it will not be able to flood from the Nanjiang River to Yinghai in just over a month.Several highly respected imperial physicians from the imperial hospital consulted and changed several prescriptions, but none of them were completely effective-because the real thing that kills people is never a "disease".

"The epidemic is true, and the epidemic is even more true." Su Lang smiled instead of anger, and turned his head to tell the generals: "Let's have a trial with Zhang Laoyuan, let him know the truth, the old doctor has worked so hard, and he can't let it go." His reputation in Yinghai has been ruined for no apparent reason. King Jing will not be soft-hearted, but Yingbei will have to die."

Before he and Xinghui left, he used his internal force to forcibly suppress the Gu epidemic that was under the cover of his illness for the old Duke.But voodoo is complex and changeable, if you don't find the right way to solve voodoo, you will treat the symptoms but not the root cause.They can save one person, ten people, but they can't save tens of thousands of affected people in Yingbei.

And the thunder and night rain that day seemed to be deliberately fulfilling King Jing's wolfish ambitions. The plague was like the water from the Lanjiang River that broke its embankment. It flowed across the entire Yingbei in just one day and night, and half of the city was completely shrouded in darkness. The gloomy death.

In just one day, batches of corpses were burned after the rain stopped at noon. No one knows when the second rain will come, and how many people will die tomorrow.

Whether it is Yinghai's medicine shop or the imperial doctor from the imperial capital, they are helpless. At most, they can only slow down the epidemic. No one knows when the catastrophe will end.

To make matters worse, all kinds of rumors that followed exploded in several big cities in Changzhou. When the news of people's uproar reached Yinghai, Su Lang knew in his heart that it was not far from King Jing's attack.

And the land under his feet is the first battlefield.

After reaching this step, Su Lang surprisingly calmed down.King Jing's move came out, and several old foxes in Changzhou who had been hiding deeply began to show their tails—there was a reason why rumors spread so quickly in Changzhou.

He is not afraid of war, his surname is Su, so for Ying Hai, he will not retreat a single step.

only--

Xinghui and Su Lang sat together on the stone steps, the rain had stopped for almost three hours, the setting sun seemed to melt in the water, and half of the sky in the distance was smudged orange red.

After running around in Yingbei for a whole day today, Xinghui was very tired, so he closed his eyes and leaned on Su Lang's shoulder to fall asleep.Su Lang tightly squeezed the wooden box in his hand, his eyes fell on Xinghui's slightly tired side face, and he felt a prickly pain in his heart.

Knowing the strangeness inside, it is not surprising that this man-made epidemic can spread so quickly in Yingbei. The reason is that there must be a nail planted by King Jing among the plagued people in Yinghai City. He guessed owned.

It's just that I have to be on guard against everything. I never thought that there would be hidden evil intentions in children.

If it wasn't for the fast reaction of Xinghui's true qi, he pulled it aside again, and the silver hairpin with ulterior motives would not be put in the wooden box without bleeding.

They can't save the tens of thousands of infected people in Yingbei, but one or two can always.The children couldn't bear the pain, so Xinghui couldn't bear it, so he helped a few children forcefully suppress the Gu plague that was haunting their bodies.

When the last child with a sallow face took the sugar porridge from Xinghui's hand, the fine silver light flashed under the sleeve.

The porcelain bowl was shattered, and the sugar porridge in the bowl dripped all over the floor.

Xing Hui subconsciously withdrew his hands and backed away, Su Lang stood behind him and pulled him into his arms suddenly.

The tip of the silver hairpin hidden in the child's sleeve was pitch-black, extending two inches from the fingertips, gleaming with malicious intent in the early afternoon sun.

A shallow scratch was left on Xinghui's wrist, but luckily it didn't break the skin and bleed - when he helped a few children suppress the Gu epidemic just now, his inner strength was violent, and the true energy circulating in his body hadn't dissipated yet. blocked for him.

Everything happened so fast, Su Lang couldn't tell what he was feeling at that moment, as if countless thoughts flashed through him, fear, happiness and anger intertwined together.On a summer afternoon, when he came to his senses, his back was covered in cold sweat.

Although Xinghui was not depressed because of this sudden episode, the silver hairpin that was stored in the wooden box, and Xinghui's slightly pale complexion became a nightmare that haunted Su Lang all day.

Yingbei's situation has far exceeded their imagination. The rain has brought countless corpses and endless evil intentions.He was not ready for Xinghui to face those insane malice and cruelty with him.

If he could, he thought he would never have to make such preparations.

But the epidemic is just a foreplay, and the truly cruel war is just around the corner.

Su Lang suddenly remembered that two years ago, he took Xinghui to Wanzhou out of temptation. They encountered an assassination on the way, and when the feather arrow pierced through the air and nailed it to the wall of the carriage, he regretted it. He took Xinghui to Wanzhou.

He didn't want Xinghui to be in danger before, and he doesn't want to do so now.

No second silver hairpin with ulterior motives is allowed.

Su Lang lowered his eyes and fixedly looked at the tired Xinghui, a decision was quietly made in his heart, he lowered his head and lightly stamped Xinghui's side face.
