Don't look at your phone when crossing the street

However, in a few days, news came from outside the palace that there were several cases of strange diseases in Gyeonggi. The patients were all red-eyed and swollen, insane, refused to recognize relatives and friends, and even refused to drink or eat.The Tai Hospital and the Economic Insurance Bureau were worried that it was a plague, so they suppressed people and prevented them from running around.

Although I was imprisoned in the inner palace, I walked freely all day, and finally walked around the circle of people in the palace. He switched places with Murong Yue from that day.

At present, the big and small matters of the imperial court are still under the pressure of the cabinet. Murong Yue and Xiao Gui Cao Sui review documents every morning and evening, and discuss strategies with ministers in the afternoon. They are more diligent than me.

However, on the first night when I came in, in the middle of the night, I was suddenly thrown off the quilt, and felt a chill around me. When I sat up in shock, I saw Murong Yue lying beside me, and I gasped: "What are you doing here?"

He closed the quilt that I had ripped off: "It's nothing. It's just that I'm used to it. I can sleep more peacefully with you."

"Uh, I remember when I asked you to move out to sleep for a while, weren't you still doing well then, why are you so hypocritical?" I controlled myself not to kick him down.

He closed his eyes: "It was difficult to fall asleep in the past few days, or I would be haunted by nightmares, so it's better to find someone to block the evil spirit."

This person is probably a shaky M, so I lay down on my side angrily and gave up.

It’s just that such an unfettered and burdenless life inexplicably makes me anxious—one is that I have fallen into the initial state called Tian Tian Ying, and I can no longer contact the author, and the other is that Murong Yue has been silent all day long. What a bad idea you're holding back.But as long as the plot continues, I have to wait for the curtain to open. The doomed torrent is unstoppable, but fortunately I know the direction it will flow.

I asked someone to inquire, and Luo Li's condition had already improved, and the two of them were actively searching for the enemy's whereabouts.

Another six or seven days later, the situation suddenly went wrong again. The few cases of strange diseases spread like water breaking a bank. The beast attacked, and the next day he ran wildly into the forest to echo the beast.What was even more troublesome was that a few members of the Economic Security Bureau broke free and bit and scratched everyone they met. Four or five days later, the victim also contracted a strange disease, and the epidemic spread in the city.The imperial court also had no shortage of measures to deal with the plague, mainly isolation, and then giving medical treatment and medicine, but this time, even in a well-defended safe zone, dozens of patients will suddenly break out, and this disease is even more serious. There is no way to check, and it is impossible to apply medicine to the symptoms.However, it was repeatedly mentioned in the intelligence that a white beast passed by in some initial epidemic areas, and it might be the source of infection of the disease.

In just half a month, three out of ten people in the capital were ill. Officials, merchants and soldiers were all in panic all day long.Murong Yue was calmer than I imagined. On the one hand, he posted the imperial list to invite capable people and strangers. On the other hand, he used iron fists to isolate the crowd, and even ordered the culling of patients who were trying to get sick.This move aroused fierce opposition from the courtiers. A bunch of old rotten scholars hid in their homes and handed over documents, shouting at the heavens and the earth, looking back to the past, lamenting that the emperor was stupid, and the heavens were angry and resentful. up.

He raised his head from the pile of memorials, frowned and asked, "Liu Rong, what should I do?"

It was the first time I heard his powerless voice, and I forced a smile and said: "You have done enough to protect the people, and you don't have to take the blame. This epidemic is fierce and unpredictable. It is not an ordinary plague. There is a perpetrator who knows everything and wants to use Daling Guozuo to coerce the court. No matter who he is, the only plan for now is to wait."

Just as he was talking, laughter suddenly came from outside the door, and then a man in black shirt entered the door and said, "I didn't expect that there are still people who know current affairs among this group of ordinary people."

Murong Yue and I exchanged glances, both of us recognized that this person was Xuanyuan Luoli's old enemy, the person who captured the Wannian Snow Beast that day.

Murong Yue said: "Dare to ask your honorable name?"

The man found a seat at random and sat down, and poured a cup of tea by himself: "You don't deserve to know your name. I'm nicknamed Hu Qingke, and I'm just here to negotiate a deal with Emperor Daling."

I pressed Murong Yue, who was about to go into a fit with a frown, and hurriedly said: "I agree. But you must ensure that the epidemic will not expand."

Hu Qingke took a look at the clothes on the two of us and said, "If you agree, will it work?"

Murong Yue said coldly: "If your exchange condition is only to help you hunt down Xuanyuan and the two, I can consider it."

"Okay. Except for the people who have been infected by the gu, I hope that the imperial court can listen to my orders and order them to be wanted, so that they have nowhere to hide."

I stood up abruptly: "You mean, those people who were infected with the disease were caused by your Gu?"

"Exactly," Hu Qingke seemed very proud, "In the past few months, I have devoted myself to research, planted poisonous Gu on snow beasts, and spread it to people, so that their abilities will be greatly enhanced, so that I can deal with Xuanyuan and the other two." He said. Suddenly, a small animal in the shape of a ferret emerged from a cloth bag on his body, and jumped onto his shoulder several times.

He petted it and walked out the door, and said to himself: "Little Snow Beast, you have to be good, the two people in front of you are useful for a while, you can't hurt them."

Murong Yue dropped his pen: "How can we deal with such treachery?"

I said angrily: "Go away, if you don't write, I will write. Now people are swordsmen and I am fish. If you refuse to cooperate with him, he will be regarded as nothing by the three thousand guards today, and he will be able to take your head and make himself king in a few days. At that time You Daling’s hundred-year-old foundation will be in his pocket, and all the people will become half-human monsters! The reason why he wants your help is that the management of the entire country is too troublesome, and it still takes a lot of money to pass on the snow beast. Day, where do you have a chance to choose?"

His face was uncertain, but he still refused to write, so I had to dip myself in the ink and write in Liu Rong's handwriting: "Fengtian Chengyun Emperor ordered Xuanyuan, Muche and Luoli to commit a heinous crime and ordered the soldiers and civilians to report their whereabouts and kill them today." Hand over those who sheltered private possessions and exorcise the chivalrous man Hu Qingke, Hussar's lieutenant general, and the subjects of Gyeonggi, Xian and Yifang." Then he put the jade seal on the ink pad and handed it to him.

The knuckles of Murong Yue's fingers turning white while holding Yuxi, he finally pressed it straight.

I immediately handed the imperial edict to the supervisor of ceremonies and ordered him to make it public and then notify the cabinet.The little eunuch knelt down and glanced at Murong Yue, then ran out with trembling hands.

He sat heavily on the chair, his eyes resting on the paperweights on the desk.I said: "You don't have to do this. You must give what you want first. This is an expedient measure. When those two people appear, we will have real bargaining chips in our hands."

He glanced at me puzzled, and leaned over his desk to support his forehead and said, "Liu Rong, or Chen Kaicheng, will you always be by my side until the dust settles?"

His casual tone seemed to be asking the white tiger paperweight in front of him. I smiled wryly: "I want to get away earlier, but where can I go? I think I told you before that I want to Let Xuanyuan Muche take your throne. You have to wait until this matter is over."

He suddenly jumped up, grabbed my arm and threw me onto the table, leaned over and pressed his right arm on my chest, and asked sharply, "Liu Rong, what are you here for?"

His face was only a few feet away from me, and such a weird posture made me squint my eyes, trying to open the distance between their eyes, I lazily said: "Xuanyuan and Hu Qingke, who can understand the impossibility of this world, show signs of life Strange, not the people of today, you can understand it after thinking about it. I am not Liu Rong, even if I am resurrected from the dead, I am not the same as you. What I said is the destiny, and it cannot be violated."

After two or three days, the capital city was full of turmoil. The army searched the streets and alleys for suspicious persons in batches. The team of voodoo hunters almost pulled out all the weeds in the capital, but they still couldn't find them.Since we formed an alliance, Hu Qingke has come in and out of the palace at will, shouting at the palace people and generals, as if he is the second master of the palace.The snow beast he brought jumped up and down even more. Although it was usually small and well-behaved, its body suddenly swelled up from time to time, its sharp claws and fangs scratched the ground, and everyone in the palace was in danger.Several times I was worried that Murong Yue couldn't help blowing his hair, and I would stare at him every step of the way, but fortunately he finally endured it.

In the middle of the night again, we were awakened by a chill on our necks and saw two familiar faces.I stretched out my hand and pushed aside the point of the knife, and said softly: "You two are really bold, the folks are not satisfied with hiding, and you actually came to the palace, don't be afraid that we will catch a turtle in a urn."

Luo Li yelled: "You two dog emperors who are colluding together, caused Xuanyuan and I to flee and sleep around for days, and Xuanyuan couldn't recover from his injuries. I will kill you now!"

Her sharp voice frightened me, for fear that she would alarm others, my hand was suddenly held, I turned my head to look at Murong Yue, and he said: "You two came at night, if you think you are tired, why don't you stay in the palace first Rest for a few days."

I interjected, "Why is Master Xuanyuan injured?"

"A while ago, I fought against Hu Qingke, but my skills were not good enough, and I was ambushed again, so I ended up in such a mess."

Luo Li's voice was mixed with sobs: "It's all my fault, Mu Che, you have output a lot of skill to heal me, otherwise how could you lose to that thief..."

My heart was beating wildly with her volume, and I quickly interrupted her: "Miss Luoli, it's late at night, young hero Xuanyuan needs to rest in time, if you don't mind, put down the knife first , help him to sleep, okay?"

Hu Qingke kicked in the door and shouted: "What do you guys do with the gang of wine bags and rice bags? Why haven't you found any trace of those two people for so many days?"

Murong Yue was no stranger to the increasingly rampant Hu Qingke, so he broke the penholder in his hand, and I went up to apologize and said with a smile: "Don't be angry, Hu Xiashi, your own Gu people haven't found anyone, maybe the two of you They have already escaped from the capital, so it is understandable that they can't find it."

"Impossible," Hu Qingke pinched the neck of the crawling snow beast, and the snow beast was stunned immediately, "I have already set up an enchantment in the capital, and they are determined not to escape from here. Your mortal army is just a display , I need more Gu people to assist me."

"No," Murong Yue said with his hands behind his back, "Since signing the contract with you, the entire capital city has obeyed your orders and searched and searched with all their might, you should know when enough is enough."

Hu Qingke gave him a contemptuous look: "What I want to do, you mere mortal, can you be a car with your arms?" After saying that, he walked away.

Murongyue's majesty and anger were like a handful of loose sand that had nowhere to go, and it was thrown in the air without sound, making me, a bystander, panic.I asked the little eunuch next to me: "According to the prescription of the imperial hospital, have you prepared the medicinal materials ordered?"

The little eunuch said in a low voice: "It was ready yesterday, just waiting for the emperor's order."

"Okay, pass on my secret decree and distribute the medicine tonight."
