In this year of natural disasters and man-made disasters, no matter how many plans Emperor Xingwu had made for Luo Wei, he could only put these plans aside and deal with the disaster in front of him first.

In the blink of an eye, half a year later, the flood in the south receded, and immediately the disease that Emperor Xingwu was most worried about broke out again.In the report reported by local officials to Emperor Xingwu, the current tragic situation in the south is written. The villages that were originally densely populated are now mostly deserted, the people are displaced, and many corpses are unburied. The corpses are exposed in the wilderness. To die on the streets is to sell wives and sons for food, and there are refugees everywhere. The southern land, which used to be full of mountains and rivers and misty rains, has now become Abi Hell.

Emperor Xingwu used the silver in stock in the palace, just to survive the catastrophe in the south.There was a severe drought in the northwest, and the farmlands were not harvested, and even the farmlands in the south were not kept. Seeing the rush of begging for grain, Emperor Xingwu had to send ministers to various countries to buy grain at high prices.

Following the order of Emperor Xingwu, Long Xuan went to Yunzhou to inspect the local epidemic that has not subsided.Yunzhou is close to Yunguan, which is the only way for Yunguan to go to Beijing. Emperor Xingwu was afraid that the epidemic in Yunzhou would spread to Yunguan again, and the northern gateway of Dazhou relied on the Yunguan iron cavalry stationed in Yunguan. This army There must be no more mistakes.

When Long Xuan walked halfway, he heard bad news again. He Xinzhi, the general Shangwuwei who was ordered to go to the southeast to suppress the rebellion of the barbarians, was defeated. In the mountains in the southeast.Long Xuan was also in a hurry, but with the emperor's life in his hands, he could only continue to rush to Yunzhou.Seeing that Yunzhou was just around the corner, Long Xuan got two more news. General Du Wei and Hou Luo of Dingwu were quickly sent to the southeast by Emperor Xingwu to replace He Xinzhi who died in the battle, and lead the southeast to suppress the rebellion. thing.There is another piece of news, that is, the refugee riots in the south.Long Xuan couldn't sleep all night, suddenly there was no peaceful place in this big week, how could Long Xuan be able to sleep?

After Long Xuan brought several imperial doctors from the Imperial Hospital into Yunzhou territory, the air he breathed smelled of burning wormwood.

"Xiaguan has nothing to do with this disease now," the official from Yunzhou who came to welcome Longxuan said to Longxuan, "I heard that this wormwood can sterilize the air, so I can only try to burn it."

"Is it useful?" Long Xuan asked.

The local official said: "It is still not clear that it is effective, but the people now believe in any method that can cure the disease."

Long Xuan said to the imperial physicians who were sitting down: "You go to the medical clinic here to see what kind of disease it is and whether it can be cured."

The imperial physicians took orders.

The local officials led the imperial physicians to the clinic to see the sick, and before leaving, they kindly reminded Long Xuan that it was best not to go out.

"I see, you guys go get busy," Long Xuan said to the official, "Don't worry about me."

"Your Highness," Fuyun said to Longxuan after seeing that the imperial physician and local officials had all retreated, "When the servant just came in, he saw a few people lying outside the wall, motionless, and he didn't know whether they were dead or alive. .”

"Let's go out and have a look," Long Xuan said.

"Your Highness wants to go out?" Fu Yun stopped Long Xuan in a hurry and said, "There are sick people outside, Your Highness should not go out."

"If you are afraid, don't go out." Knowing what Fu Yun was afraid of, Long Xuan didn't say any more, got up and walked out, and said to Fu Yun, "You should just stay in the room."

How dare Fu Yun not follow Long Xuan, he caught up with Long Xuan and said, "I follow Your Highness, I dare to go anywhere."

"Don't force it," Long Xuan walked out of the room, and glanced at the guards standing outside.

"Don't force it," Fu Yun said, "This is the duty of a slave."

The guards also followed behind Long Xuan, none of them wanted to go to the street, but the master was going, so they had no choice but to bite the bullet and follow.

Yunzhou is the commercial and trade distribution center in the north of Dazhou, and merchants from south to north never stop, so this Yunzhou is also the richest place in the north of Dazhou.Long Xuan walked the streets of Yunzhou today, but what he saw was depression.Few shops are open, and the doors and windows of the houses are closed. There are still pedestrians on the street, but they are all in a hurry.

"Your Highness," Fu Yun pointed to a house along the street with the word "no" written on its gate, and showed Long Xuan.

Long Xuan couldn't understand what it meant, so he stopped a passerby who was passing by them, and said, "Brother, why is the word 'no' written on this door?"

The passerby told Long Xuandao quickly: "This family is extinct, and they all died of illness."

Long Xuan still wanted to ask again, but the pedestrian had already walked several steps away quickly.

"Your Highness," the guard called Long Xuan from behind.

Long Xuan turned his head, and following the guard's fingers, Long Xuan saw the word "nothing" written on the gates of one-third of the houses on this street.

"My God," Fu Yun said in surprise, "Is this all gone?"

"Let's go," Long Xuan's face was gloomy, this is a natural disaster, and he is not a genius doctor, so there is nothing he can do about it.

Fu Yun and the others followed Long Xuan all the way, and the more they walked, the more frightened they became. They felt that if the Yunzhou people continued to die like this, they would all die.

Long Xuan didn't believe all the words of the local officials in Yunzhou. He wanted to ask the local people about the situation, but he walked all the way, except for the pedestrian who was stopped by him and asked a word. Someone who would stop and talk to him.After walking three streets, from the east to the west of the city, Long Xuan finally saw a restaurant that was open for business, he didn't look much, and went in.

The waiter at the restaurant saw the guests coming, but he didn't seem to be very attentive, he walked up slowly, and said to Long Xuan and the others: "Guest officer, we don't have any food here now, only pasta."

"Your Highness," Fu Yun asked Long Xuan in a low voice, "Do you want to eat noodles here?"

Long Xuan looked around the shop, in the shop with more than twenty square tables, only two tables of guests were seated.

"Guest officer," the waiter saw that Long Xuan didn't answer, and said again: "If you are afraid that our place is not clean, you can also buy raw food and cook it yourself."

"No need," Long Xuan said to the clerk: "We'll leave right away. Fu Yun, give him a reward." After giving Fu Yun the order, Long Xuan walked towards one of the tables of guests.

The clerk won the reward, so he didn't care what Long Xuan was doing in the store, he walked back to the counter and leaned against the counter.

There were four guests sitting at that table, seeing Long Xuan approaching, they all got up and wanted to leave.

"Wait a minute," Long Xuan put his hand on the shoulder of one of the men of medium build, and said, "I think we have something to talk about."

The other three men wanted to do it.

The guards behind Long Xuan saw that something was wrong, so they also came up to attack.

"Don't panic," Long Xuan said to everyone.

Under Long Xuan's gaze, Long Xuan's guards took a few steps back.

"This is Dazhou," Long Xuan said to the four men, "Are you sure you want to use force here? Can you run this Yunzhou City?"

"Sit down," said the man whose shoulder was pressed by Long Xuan to his companion.

"Let's talk over there," Long Xuan pointed to an empty table far away from here, and removed the hand that was pressing on the man's shoulder.

The man didn't struggle, and followed Long Xuan to this empty seat.

"I saw you by Sima Qingsha's side." After sitting down next to the man, Long Xuan whispered to the man, "What is your general's name?"

"Sun Li," the man replied to Long Xuan.
