Chapter 90 The Plague

The Wuzhou dam is located in Lanfang County in the south of Wuzhou, and it is also the final destination of Ning Yuan and his party.Staying at the local county magistrate's mansion, this night, the heavy rain continued, a tall and fat bay red horse leaked and galloped, stopped at the back door of the county mansion, and turned over a man in a coir raincoat and a bamboo hat. Strong man.When the man reached the door, he took out something from his pocket and handed it to the porter who had been waiting for a long time. After a while, he was ushered into the mansion by the porter.

"Your Highness Ninth! Your Highness Ninth! The last general... The last general did not expect to see His Highness again in his lifetime, please accept... the last general's respect!"

The coir raincoat on the brawny man was still dripping, and his tiger eyes were full of tears. He knelt down at Ning Yuan's feet and kowtowed several times. He was obviously very excited, and even choked up when he spoke.

Ning Yuan hurriedly lifted him up, stared at the strong man for a long time, then returned the jade plaque he handed over when he visited the door, and said, "Are you General Guo Si?"

The strong man wiped away his tears with his dirty and worn sleeves: "Return to Your Highness, it is the last general."

"General Guo was lucky to be able to escape from the catastrophe, and now he is wandering in the city and rivers and lakes, and he has done something, which is really admirable."

The general Guo Si in front of him was the deputy general of General Ping Wei back then, and he was known as the hero who took the head of an enemy general among ten thousand armies.Now renamed Wang Chong, he is the deputy suzerain of the Yiqi League, the largest gang in the south of the Yangtze River.

"In the first battle in northern Xinjiang, Pingwei's army was almost wiped out. General Pingwei gave his life to protect each other, so the last general survived. Pingwei's army was labeled as a rebel army, and the imperial court launched a sweeping net to arrest the surviving generals. I and The other surviving brothers had to hide their names... I still can't figure it out until now, my Pingwei army is loyal to the imperial court, and I even disregarded my life on the front line of northern Xinjiang to kill the enemy and Weiguo. He couldn't close his eyes at night, and finally defeated the Yao country's iron cavalry, why, how could he become a rebel army..."

Speaking of that tragic past, the 20 Pingwei army was charged with crimes and died with nothing to rest in peace. This dignified general who fought in the north and south and defeated countless enemies in the past couldn't help but burst into tears. His fists clenched tightly like a hammer were on the ground, rough and cracked. Including wind and frost, the knotted and protruding blue veins on it hide unwillingness and resentment.

"General Guo, don't worry, since I dare to send someone to contact you all, I will definitely not sit idly by and ignore the great enmity between mother, brother and uncle."

As soon as this remark came out, Guo Bang's pupils shrank slightly, and he suddenly looked up at Ning Yuan. The eagerness in his eyes was about to come out, as if there were two blazing flames inside. The flames were hatred, hatred, and the blood of hundreds of thousands of brothers.

"Your Highness, as long as you give an order, all the remnants of the Pingwei Army will definitely obey His Highness's order! There will be mountains of swords and seas of fire, no matter what! No matter what His Highness wants to do, brothers will follow him through life and death!"

The young man in front of him is not only a noble prince, but also the only descendant who has a blood relationship with General Pingwei. Guo Si was loyal to General Pingwei back then, seeing Ning Yuan now is equivalent to finding his old master again, especially because Wu Flooding in the state, I heard many famous deeds of the Ninth Prince along the way, I was grateful for him, and I bowed my head to him.At this time, when the words were spoken, they already faintly contained that layer of extraordinary meaning.

Ning Yuan could hear the meaning behind Guo Si's words, but he just said calmly: "There is one thing that I want to explain to General Guo in advance, and I hope the general will keep it in mind."

"What are your orders, Your Highness?"

"The Pingwei army was wronged back then because the father was deceived by traitors. It was not the father who caused the tragedy that year. The Pingwei army was loyal to the Daliang royal family and the monarch. No one should put the stigma of rebellion on it. head, understand?"

Guo Si was taken aback for a moment, then stared at Ning Yuan in a daze.

"Why, what questions does General Guo have?" Seeing that Guo Si didn't answer, Ning Yuan asked again.

The soldiers recognize the master, and everything is obeyed by the master's order, so Guo Bang was just stunned for a moment, and then suppressed all the puzzles and reluctance, and said nothing more.

Why can't Ning Yuan see the dissatisfaction in Guo Si's heart?Sighed: "General Guo, have you ever thought that if you really use extraordinary means, even if you can avenge those soldiers who died in vain, you will never be able to get rid of their stigma as a rebel. Doesn't it mean that General Guo doesn't want to see the truth come to light in the The world? Don’t want to see the Pingwei army reverse the case, restore their family’s reputation, and make tens of thousands of soldiers enter the ancestral hall with dignity?”

Guo Si smiled wryly: "Reverse the case and clear the wrong... Could it be that His Highness really believes that there will be such a day?"

Ning Yuan solemnly bowed his hand to Guo Si: "General, please wait and see the changes, at least half a year, at most two years, there will definitely be an opportunity for turning around."

"Don't dare." Guo Si hurriedly kowtowed deeply in return, and said: "The final general will remember His Highness's order! The Pingwei army will always be a loyal teacher!"

When Shen Fanghua came to look for Ning Yuan, he happened to see Guo Bang coming out of the room.Guo Si saluted Shen Fanghua before leaving in a hurry.Guo Si's bamboo hat was lowered, and a layer of black cloth was covering his face. Shen Fanghua couldn't see his face, but he was not surprised.

Along the way south, from time to time, such unidentified people would be summoned by the Ninth Prince to report the local conditions to him. Therefore, wherever the Ninth Prince went, he knew the local folk customs and affairs well, and he did things very smoothly.Although Shen Fanghua didn't ask clearly about the identities of these people, he could vaguely guess them.

"It's so late, is there something important for Master Zhongshuling to visit?"

Shen Fanghua's complexion was not good-looking, and there was even anger hidden in his old eyes, "His Royal Highness, the old minister was ordered to investigate the damage to the embankment, and now it has been investigated, and there is something hidden in it."

Ning Yuan was laying out the rice paper in front of the case to write, but when he heard this movement, he frowned slightly, guessing something in an instant, and looked up at Shen Fanghua, his eyes were tinged with coldness.

"Oh? What kind of secret?"

"Although the Wuzhou dam was built with the suspicion of cutting corners and materials, the site where the embankment broke this time was man-made and not caused by natural forces."

Not a force of nature?That is artificial.

Who on earth, and with what motive, deliberately damaged the dams, causing more than 40 counties to be flooded?

It's actually not hard to guess.

The Wuzhou embankment was built under the supervision of King Xian. If there is no accident this time, no one will find out the corruption in it, or even if someone finds out, it will affect King Xian by participating in a book like this without pain. It can also be ignored.After all, corruption has long been commonplace in today's officialdom, and even the emperor himself knows it well.But now that such a catastrophe has occurred, even if the emperor wanted to suppress the matter, he would not be able to cover up the Xianwang faction in the face of public grievances, and he would be severely punished.

King Xian is unlucky, who is the biggest beneficiary?The answer is self-evident.And the fact is indeed the case, Xian Wang's faction, which had just made progress in the court, was recently suppressed by King Yong to the point of being powerless to fight back.

In the summer of God Bless 19, Wuzhou was flooded, and an epidemic occurred, causing millions of deaths and injuries.

Maybe there is only such a simple line left in the history books of later generations, but behind it are tens of thousands of bloody lives!

Could it be that in order to fight back against King Xian, and to fight for power and profit, can you waste the lives of hundreds of thousands of people?

At the same time, Mo Chen, who was hiding in the space between the pillows, woke up from his lethargy, and felt a surge of anger inexplicably.

Without Ning Yuan, the space in the pillow would no longer be a lush and vast valley with dense spiritual energy, but a dilapidated garden with thin spiritual energy.I don't know what's going on recently, Mo Chen likes to sleep more and more, but Ningyuan is exhausted from traveling all the way south, so for convenience, let him stay in the space by himself.

Now that he has already connected with human beings, there is no doubt that this anger comes from human beings, but Mo Chen has never seen human beings so angry.What happened to make him so angry?

Mo Chen stretched on the spot, jumped out of the space, landed on Ning Yuan's bed, turned around and swallowed the jade pillow that was getting smaller and smaller, and rushed out of the bedroom.

"Your Highness, there is one more thing that the old minister has been unable to figure out..." Seeing that Ning Yuan's face was gloomy, he had already guessed who was behind it. Everyone was a smart person, so Shen Fanghua naturally stopped talking.

"Master Zhongshu Ling, please tell me."

Shen Fanghua stroked his long beard, "The Wuzhou embankment project is huge. The old minister sent people to check it, and found a lot of damage, and the marks of the breach are also very new. Obviously, it was done in the past month, and not one or two people can do it. Got it. However, because the Wuzhou embankment is just in the pass fortress, there are guards patrolling nearby all the time. If someone is really tampering here, they will definitely be discovered. The old minister ordered people to question all the guards on duty, but they never found anything suspicious It's really strange that people approached the dam."

Ning Yuan frowned, and suddenly the white-haired and childlike immortal cultivator in the Yong Palace appeared in his mind, the coldness in his eyes was even heavier, and he knew that this person was most likely to hinder him.In this way, it would be impossible to obtain tangible evidence, and Xian Wang's scapegoat has been decided, and there is no way to turn the tables.

"The flood is pending, and right now is the time when there is a shortage of manpower. The people are still the most important thing. Let's let this matter go. Since no evidence can be found, there is no need to mention it to the father to prevent changes."

"Yes." Ning Yuan's decision coincided with Shen Fanghua's.Since King Yong made the move, he must have made all the preparations. It is very difficult to collect evidence, not to mention that now that this matter has become a foregone conclusion, everything will be in vain.

While the two were talking, someone suddenly came to report from outside the door, saying that some residents in the city had been found to be infected with the epidemic.

Shen Fanghua was shocked when he heard the words, and his face instantly turned pale.

"Your Highness is a prince, and you must not stay in the center of this epidemic outbreak. I beg your Highness to leave Lanfang County as soon as possible."

There are many plagues after the flood, but under normal circumstances, the epidemic will not start until the flood has completely receded. Why is it so much earlier this time?Ning Yuan felt that the epidemic came very strangely.

"Take me to see that person." Ning Yuan was about to stand up, but Shen Fanghua knelt down and hugged his legs with a plop.

"Your Highness must take your body as the most important thing!"

"Master Zhongshu Ling, now Wuzhou is surrounded by water. Once the epidemic occurs and spreads so fast, how can you and I escape with chariots and horses? If God really wants to take my life , Even if you escape from Lanfang County, you can't escape the impermanent life-defending talisman. If your lord has any concerns, you can drive away and settle down in a nearby county."

If the prince doesn't leave, how can he escape alone as a minister?What's more, Shen Fanghua is not the kind of person who is greedy for life and afraid of death. After the initial panic passed, he was infected by Ning Yuan's calmness and gradually calmed down.Looking up at the Ninth Prince, Shen Fanghua felt awe from the bottom of his heart, slowly let go of his old withered hands, and retreated respectfully to the side.

Mo Chen was not familiar with the county magistrate's mansion, so he left the bedroom where Ning Yuan was temporarily staying, and finally found Ning Yuan after looking around. Just as he saw him leaving the county magistrate's mansion and getting into a carriage, he rushed up like lightning, and got into Ning Yuan by familiar ways He got in from under the hem of the robe, climbed all the way along his body, and finally poked his head out of the skirt.

"Ah Chen forgot what I said? Don't be so naughty." Ning Yuan pulled Mo Chen out of his clothes.

Mo Chen looked up, but he didn't see a familiar smile from the corner of the human's mouth.He jumped on the human's shoulder, looked at the human from the side, blinked his eyes, saw his brows slightly frowning, stretched out a furry paw, pressed it between the human's eyebrows, and gently rubbed the warm cushion on it twice , as if wanting to smooth out the wrinkled folds.

Ning Yuan seemed to feel Mo Chen's desire to appease him, so he couldn't help but curled his lips into a smile, hugged him back into his arms, touched his forehead lightly with his fingertips, lowered his eyes, and sighed: "The color of the silver vertical stripes has changed again." It's a little deeper, it seems that Ah Chen is not far from advancing to the fourth-level monster."

The jump from the third level to the fourth level for monsters means a qualitative leap, and the jump from the spiritual stage to the enlightened stage is equivalent to the foundation building of human beings, which is very urgent.Once they crossed this threshold, they were no longer low-level monsters, and even foundation-builder monks would not dare to provoke them easily.Before the snow mountain spirit fox enters the consecration period, it will go into a deep sleep that lasts for decades.

Seeing that Ning Yuan's brows were finally relaxed, Mo Chen's mood became better, and he proudly stuck out his tongue and licked Ning Yuan's palm twice.

Ning Yuan supported his head with one hand, and played with Mo Chen very cooperatively with the other hand, his eyes drooping thoughtfully.It wasn't until Mo Chen was having fun, when he was in high spirits, that he suddenly said, "Ah Chen, can you lend me another pill for that bottle of yours?"

All of Mo Chen's movements froze instantly, as if petrified.
