Chapter [-]-Jinguang Temple to explore the truth, Lanling City secret cause and effect

The winter snow falls, laying a new blanket on the earth.The snow this year is the same as that of previous years.

Zong Zhengxi and his entourage set off from Dijing by car, traveling day and night, and arrived in the northeast of Yandi within half a month.The scenery of Jinguang Temple surrounded by mountains and streams is still the same, but the person he is looking for has disappeared.

After entering the temple, the little novice monk behind the threshold told the truth that Chan Master Yuming stayed in the temple for two days before leaving the temple to practice.

The person accompanying him lowered his head and asked what the man meant.

"Then there's no rush," Zongzheng Xi said, "I'm tired from traveling for the past two days, so it's better to rest here for a couple of days."

The little monk then led them into the back room of the temple.

Although Jinguang Temple is a royal temple, it has the old habit of recruiting refugees.Relying on the royal incense, successive Zen masters also expanded the scale of the temple one after another, and opened up many meditation houses on the mountainside.The name is for spiritual practice, but in fact it is mostly used as a resting place for merchants and beggars. Therefore, all the border towns and counties in the northeast area are grateful for the good deeds of Jinguang Temple.The group of monks who have no power to restrain the chickens inside have become saints that no one dares to violate in this area.

After all, the wing room is crowded, almost two or three people need to share one room, even half of the side courtyard is barely able to squeeze in these ten people.

After leading the way, the little novice took his leave.

The attendant signaled the people behind him to close the door, and hesitantly said to him: "Your Highness, since you are not here, why don't you go back for a while?... Hu Jun's main army is in Weinan, and the northern part will inevitably be turbulent."

"No need," Zongzheng Xi said, "This is an important place for Buddhist temples, they won't bother here."

Seeing that the persuasion was fruitless, the entourage had to retreat, and the man ordered again: "These rooms are not very spacious, you two, stay with me."

These few followers are not other people, they are all Yiwei soldiers who were transferred before. They have been in the army for many years, so they are naturally familiar with the people in front of them.The two leaders were pointed out, one was the commander of the guard army, who was later sent to another city secretly, and the other was the rebel general who fled from the red armor guards, and later joined the Jiangdong army to participate in the Fenying Palace. Changed Wei Xu.

Many years ago, when Zong Zhengxi led the army to defend the frontier and attack the border, there was often a much worse environment than this. Everyone crowded together, and there was no difference between high and low likes and dislikes.It's just that things are right and people are wrong now, and it's inevitable that everyone is uncomfortable.

Several people responded, each went out of the house, led the horses to rectify, and packed their luggage.

Wei Xu took out a copper charcoal basin that had been discarded for a long time in the corner, and the two refilled black charcoal. After a week of busy work, the cold air in the room was dissipated. sounded.

As soon as the two raised their eyes, they could see the man sitting alone in front of the window silently looking into the distance.

The windows with vertical wooden bars are similar to the iron windows of the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, but they are much lower and larger.The dense light snow in early winter drifts into the house from the cracks, like catkins and flying cotton, but when it condenses on the man's temples, it is nothing but a circle of pale and colorless white hair.

In such a scene, those who don't know it will feel extremely lonely just by looking at it.What's more, the two of them are familiar with the twists and turns in the middle, so why can't they feel sad and distressed?

"...Your Highness, why don't you come over to get warm?"

Wei Xu was originally asking a question, but he didn't think Zongzheng Xi would just let it go, so he spun his wheelchair and stopped by the fire.

As a result, he didn't dare to speak out anymore, and looked at the people on the side, also lowered his eyes and remained speechless.

"I heard that Liao Hui died during the Yanbei attack last year?"

The sparks in the charcoal brazier jumped up and down, reflecting in the man's eyes.

"...Yes," Wei Xu said in a low voice, "The road is inconvenient, so it was buried at the Huangling Pass."

Zong Zhengxi nodded slowly: "At the beginning, he was also a hero of 'one man should be the master of the world', but in the past few years, he has been worrying for a long time, but he can't match the growing age."

Wei Xu opened his mouth to speak, only to hear the man say again: "I later thought that he was also isolated and helpless in the army in those days, so the cause of death must be worthy of deliberation."

"...Your Highness is wise," Wei Xu said, "When I left the guards, more than half of the former troops had been replaced. If you went to identify them at that time, I'm afraid you wouldn't be able to recognize many of them."

"If someone inside rebels, the army will disperse."

"Who are you talking about?"

Wei Xu winked at the old commander beside him, who pursed his lips tightly when he saw this, and turned his head away.

"Feel sorry."

Wei Xu was startled, the old commander raised his eyes and looked at him, and said: "...you are belittling someone by saying that."

Zong Zhengxi lowered his eyes: "There is nothing to argue about the other things."

"Zongzheng," the commander took a deep breath, "At the beginning, I was half-lived by you from the barbarian camp... You were a leader in charge of two hundred soldiers at that time, and you were able to break through the ban and rescue me. Brother, we have already recognized who you are, and sooner or later, you will lead the army to conquer the barbaric frontier."

"Sorry." The man repeated with a calm expression.

The commander gritted his teeth: "When you get to see those Wuding corpses, it's not too late to apologize!"

"Sun Guang!" Wei Xu shouted coldly.

The commander who was stopped blushed and panted, and deliberately suppressed his anger.Years of blood feuds and fights on the battlefield, killing the enemy with pleasure, how can I care about the wishes of others.

"Corruption in the army does not last for a while, if you want to remove the cancer, you must stretch your muscles."

Wei Xu suddenly remembered that someone had said such a thing to him, and couldn't find an explanation at this time, so he blurted it out.

Zong Zhengxi glanced at him, and then said, "I have nothing to say."

Sun Guang's aroused anger still persisted, he stepped out of the house panting heavily, the wooden door was slammed shut, and there was a strange sound of winter wind.

Wei Xu fidgeted, rubbing his hands and saying nothing.

"You entered the army later than Sun Guang," Zongzheng Xi said, "...you should not know the past."

"Yes." When Wei Xufang chose to enter the red armor, the man had already revealed his identity, and was granted the title and crown, which was in its prime.The entire army is imitating the agitators. If it weren't for the financial shackles of the Ministry of War in the central government and the civil officials jointly boycotting the letter, they would have been able to take advantage of the victory a few times and go straight to the city to avoid future troubles.But this opportunity is only a rare opportunity, if you miss it, there will be no more. Zong Zhengxi was the chief general at that time, and he never gambled with the lives of all soldiers in the army.

"But Biaoxia has always trusted you."

"Why?"

Wei Xu asked without answering, "How does Your Highness treat us?"

"You are all different, but those who entered the roster under my rule are all the same brothers in the camp," Zongzheng Xi said, "but no matter how close you are, it may not be able to stop the evil thoughts in your heart. .Since we said that we are blessed to share, but if we are wrong, we will be wrong together... Even if those new faces in the army are changed later, even if they are famous and wear brown armor, they are still evil people. Not a bodyguard."

"Exactly... before I left, the army was already out of shape," the man rarely struggled, "but there is no strong leader in command, so how can we expect a group of warriors to spontaneously make a name for themselves."

"You guys overestimate me," Zong Zhengxi said.

Wei Xu was silent.

"What you said just now is correct, because if the cancer is only one person, it will live in peace if it is picked off," Zongzheng Xi said, "Just like the eunuch so far, when it is completely eradicated, it will be the time when the Yan Kingdom is destroyed."

Wei Xu recalled what the man said, and replied embarrassingly: "I didn't say that, and I didn't fully agree with it. I still believe that things are man-made, and they are still in my own will."

A figure could not help appearing in his mind: "The person who said this was hurt too much, and he lost his confidence. He also said that loyalty and filial piety cannot be balanced in life and death. Rather than getting entangled in this and getting no results, it is better..."

My mind was confused and suddenly stuck.

"It's better to be happy every day," the man continued, "it's Fu Zijie who said that."

"...I forgot to mark it, you had a deep relationship with him before."

Wei Xu was taken aback by the faint smile lines on Zong Zhengxi's face. He thought it was his eyes that were dazzled, and before he figured out the meaning, he listened to him again: "Although you'll stay here for the past two days, you guys Don't rest idle, first go around to find out some news, and if you have any strange news, let us know in time."

He echoed back.

The cold wind picked up again outside the window, not long after, Sun Guang came back from outside.The snow was swept away all over her body, and her face seemed to be cooled by the winter and turned into an indifferent look.In his hand he was still holding the vegetarian meal he had asked for, and the aroma and heat made Wei Xu feel dazed, thinking about some past events in his mind.

A few people chatted casually, and there was nothing embarrassing about it.At this moment, even though there are various hidden thoughts between each other, the friendship and friendship of the same army for many years still make them harmonious and tacit in the details of trivial matters.No one deliberately raised that tit-for-tat question again, so Ansheng lived like this for a whole day, and the next day he heard a strange news from the temple.

"The monk in the temple said that the barbarian boy came here several times before, and every time he came by surprise, trying to prevent Zen Master Yuming from leaving the temple," Sun Guang reported truthfully, "This time he directly brought hundreds of barbarians Come here and surround the back mountain to death, probably the monk who thought he was looking for deliberately avoided him."

After hearing his description, Zong Zhengxi had already checked the number secretly, guessed who it was, and said, "Where is he now? I'll go see him."

Wei Xu stopped him and said, "That's just a young child, or a foreigner, why bother you to go and see him in person? I'll go down and bring him to see you..."

"Wei Xu," Zong Zhengxi said sternly, "Don't you forget that now that the Yan Kingdom is dead, is there any difference between internal and external races in this land? What's more, in the forbidden place of Buddhism, all living beings are equal. It was I who asked him to... lead the way."

The two reluctantly complied, and led him out of the wing room, downhill and down the stone path, all the way to the main gate of Jinguang Temple on the mountainside.

Extending from the gate of the temple to the mountain, two columns of barbarians stood in the wind with barbarian swords in their hands. Their battles were like royal rituals, which attracted most of the common people staying in the temple to hide behind the walls and peep.

It was not easy for these barbarians to come here. After being familiar with the warm and humid climate of the southern barbarians, it must be very uncomfortable to endure the winter cold in Yanbei at this time.

Among the crowd, only the young man standing at the head of the team stood out from the crowd.Not because of his height, but because of the extravagant purple robe, the clothes are bright, and even the gloomy winter day can't hide his proud posture.

When Zong Zhengxi and his entourage arrived, the young man was impatient, so he avoided the obstruction of the monks in the temple, so he started to rush into the back compartment.The monks still wanted to stop them, but they were pushed away by the barbarians following behind the young man.

The young man's eyes were full of hostility, he rushed inward, and bumped into Zong Zhengxi who was also followed by a group of followers.

This group of people stood in front of them and refused to give in, probably showing provocation.

Fu Zan glanced at the man in black sitting in the center, and said, "What do you mean? Get out of the way, get out of the way!"

As soon as the voice fell, the barbarians behind the boy were about to step forward to challenge him.

"Wait," Zong Zhengxi said slowly, "I just want to invite you into the house for a talk. It's a legitimate thing. Why bother your subordinates with swords and guns?"

Hearing this, Fu Yan squinted his eyes and looked at it carefully, describing it as somewhat familiar, but he was sure that he had never met before: "...Who are you? I have never seen you."

"I'm Qiu Feng," the man said, "The purpose of coming here is the same as yours, both to find someone."

Fu Yan's heart skipped a beat, and he said, "What do you have to do with me when you find your people? Get out of the way!"

Zong Zhengxi spoke again, and when the words came to his lips, he temporarily changed his words: "...the name of the person I am looking for is 'Fu Zhaoheng'."

Fu Zan really paused.

The man raised his eyes slightly, but there was no trace of cowardice.Even though he was dressed plainly, one could tell at a glance that he was someone who could be underestimated.

He sneered, ordered his followers to stand guard outside the temple gate, and then turned his head to say the same thing: "If you want to invite me to talk, you must show sincerity. I'm a child who doesn't know how to use force. Do you still want to rely on me?" Forced?"

Wei Xu's listening was ridiculous, and now there are many people inside and outside the temple who can tell at a glance, who is bullying the weak, it is indisputable.Unexpectedly, this barbarian boy, who is not very old, speaks outrageously and stubbornly like ordinary barbarians, and even shows such a calm expression of opening his eyes and telling nonsense.

He watched the man raised his hand and made a gesture, and didn't argue too much, forgiving that the barbarian boy couldn't move Zong Zhengxi, so he and everyone around him retreated to the side of the barbarian soldiers lined up, and watched him walk into the back compartment.

"Are you from my clan?" Fu Yan stood still, staring at his curly hair and deep eyes, and said, "Looking at you...it looks very familiar."

"Coincidentally, looking at Your Excellency, I also know a little bit of familiarity," Zongzheng Xi said with a faint smile, "I don't know you, but I have a little relationship with your father."

Seeing that his identity was found out, Fu Zhan did not show any panic, but believed that this person might know something, and sneered again: "Oh, I have never heard of your name from him, so don't deliberately lie... Are you really not from my family?"

"My mother is a barbarian." Zong Zhengxi said briefly.

Fu Zhan stepped forward and took a few steps closer, while observing, he said in a calm and unhurried manner: "From my observation of your figure, it doesn't seem to be congenitally deficient. Your leg should be caused by the day after tomorrow..."

Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly lowered his hand, intending to slap his leg, the man's eyes were quick and his hands were quick, and he grabbed the boy's wrist with one hand.The boy wanted to check his pulse with his backhand again, but the man was so strong that he almost couldn't move his whole forearm.

"...you know martial arts?" Fu Yan held back the pain in his wrist and said Shi Shiran, "Let me think about it, I don't know much about the people in Yandi in the past. Those who held a banquet in the palace claimed that the Lord of the Yan army was poisoned during the battle. Moreover, that man was once taken captive to a barbarian land. Anyone who has seen his face knows that he has a barbarian face... It is you ?”

"That's right," Zongzhengxi let go, and said again, "You don't know martial arts, you talk and act rampantly, and you are arrogant. I have only seen you and your father all these years."

"Don't always compare me to him," Fu Yan said coldly, "Also, at least I never want to hide my identity, and I dare to do everything I do."

Zong Zhengxi ignored the sarcasm in his words, and said straight to the point: "Then let me ask you, is the Weishui epidemic incident related to you?"

"Yes," Fu Yan immediately admitted, "I planted the poison in the river."

The boy answered so quickly that Zong Zhengxi couldn't help but doubt for a moment whether his words were true or not.

Zongzhengxi's pause made Fu Zhan laugh back, "What? You still don't believe me?"

"Why did you do that? It's not that you don't like Fu Xuan's actions."

"I refuse to answer this," Fu Zhan said, "It's my turn to ask you, do you know where Fu Zhaoheng is? Call me here alone, there must be something that makes me believe what you say."

"Yuming asked himself to return to the temple after the change of Fenying Palace," said Zongzheng Xi. "During the period, I was following people, but I couldn't find anyone halfway."

Fu Zan smiled meaningfully: "If he wants to hide, no one in this world will be able to find him... Otherwise, he is a member of the royal family, and no one would know why he went to Yantu to become a monk. If he is called When Fu Xuan caught him, he had to peel off three layers of that old thing."

Zong Zhengxi heard some inclinations from his words, and said calmly: "I'm looking for him to save people, why are you looking for him?"

He saw the young Zijin's eyebrows dimmed under his forehead, he turned around and found a chair to sit down.Facing the gap between the doors, you can see the green forests in the mountains.

Zong Zhengxi didn't even open his mouth to urge him, and waited until he was silent for a while, listening to his words: "I also want to save people... To tell you the truth, only he knows how to cure the poisonous poison in Weishui."

"how do I say this?"

"In the Zongchang Pavilion in the hands of the barbarian priests, there are 49 kinds of secret recipes of Gu species handed down from ancient witch sacrifices," Fu Yan said coldly. In addition, more than half of these 49 kinds of Gu formulas have been burned, and the formula for dispelling Gu has been burned first."

Zongzhengxi secretly thought it was ridiculous, and said to him in a deep voice, "How do you know that he still remembers the solution? What if he just burned it but didn't memorize it?"

"It's not the first time he has done this..." Fu Yan said to himself, "If he really doesn't remember...then I can't help it."

"Who made you do this?" Zong Zhengxi asked with a gloomy face, "...Fu Xuan?"

"It doesn't count," Fu Yan said, "but he should be happy to see such a result. It's a pity that if he knows that I don't know the solution to the water gu, I'm afraid he will be very angry."

As he said that, the young man laughed and sighed, "I really want to see what he looks like..."

The person sitting in front of him looked like a bad boy who was willing to play pranks. Zong Zhengxi didn't want to argue with him, but he couldn't let him continue to act foolishly.After thinking about it again and again, he said, "You put in so much effort just to lure Fu Zhaoheng out?"

Fu Zan's smile froze for a moment, frustrated that he had talked too much, and then disappeared: "So what?"

Zong Zhengxi shook his head: "If you really knew his personality, you wouldn't use such lowly tricks to force him to see you. Those hundreds of thousands of human lives are not a plaything in your hands. In my opinion, you are really being manipulated by Fu Xuan." I'm used to pampering, so I developed such a proud temper."

"Oh," Fu Yan sneered again, "Speaking as if you know him very well, how long have you known him... As for human life, how many soldiers of our clan did you kill? Isn’t it life? It’s really hypocritical.”

"Yu Ming saved my life when I was dying," Zong Zhengxi said, "Although he concealed his whereabouts, he didn't intend to do evil. What you are doing now is just counterproductive."

Fu Zan cursed in a low voice, using barbaric language, Zong Zhengxi understood that it was a curse.

"The monk of Yan Kingdom has been a monk for a long time, and he has changed his nature. Why did he save the dead one after another," Fu Yan said, "He is not a kind person..."

"Since you understand that he is not good, why are you taking your life to lure him back at this time?" Zongzheng Xi said, "As you said, those people in Yandi are at odds with you barbarians. It doesn't matter. In any case, he doesn't seem to be threatened and led by the nose."

Fu Yan swallowed his breath: "You are so confident in what you said, can you find him?"

"can."

Fu Zan was full of distrust, and said: "You can find him, and you are still talking nonsense with me for a long time here?"

"I just didn't expect in advance that the source of endangering the lives of the people in the towns and cities is actually a fledgling child with a yellow mouth." Zong Zhengxi said coldly.

Fu Zhan has always disliked others underestimating him because of his age, and said displeasedly: "It's no use to judge superiority by age. Now that the Emperor of Yan Kingdom is dead, no matter how you judge, you must be regarded as Fu Xuan's defeated man." Forget it? I don’t even care about what he does, let alone you... hum."

"I'm not referring to ability, but mind," Zong Zhengxi said. "Just now you kept lamenting the lives of the barbarians. A feasible battle itself is a lose-lose line. On the battlefield, there has never been a winner. If the barbarians did not harass the side again and again Why do you have to fight endlessly for years? Yan Ting is so decayed, it is expected that the barbarians will not be able to attack the south in one fell swoop. Even so, the barbarians still plan to attack the city repeatedly. Who is the culprit? How do you know? Si Congying, can't you see clearly?"

Fu Yan couldn't tell whether he was speaking truth or sarcasm, but such blunt accusations still made him uncomfortable: "...what can I do, if I can persuade Fu Xuan, why come here now... ..."

"You are capable of harming others by relying on your talent, but when it comes to the key use, you can't do anything?" The man sneered.

"Stop talking nonsense!" Fu Yan was inevitably annoyed, and said, "You said you could find him, where is he?"

"The towns on both sides of the Wei River," Zongzheng Xi said, "are the places where the epidemic originated."

"You mean, he has already gone to save people?" Fu Yan frowned, "But it has been so long, if he sent Jie Fang in the past, he should have received news of his recovery, why haven't he heard about that now? Are the people in the city getting better?"

"Maybe he really doesn't know what the solution is, or maybe he is deliberately waiting for the opportunity."

"Are you sure?" Fu Yan asked suspiciously.

Zong Zhengxi sneered: "Your wishful thinking is really in the wrong place. Since you said that this Gu recipe was specially handled by the priests in the Zongchang Pavilion, wouldn't he be able to guess who made it? How dare you give someone else's life to him? If you play tricks, he will obey and wait for you to lead troops around the mountain to find him. Thousands of people’s lives are at stake, and if they mess with you alone, who will he choose first, isn’t it clear at a glance?”

Every word the man said pierced his heart, but he had nothing to refute. Fu Yan was full of anger, and said: "... I don't know where he came from to save you, everyone is cold, weird, and heartless." guy..."

"You're not very experienced in the world, so you're so arrogant and indulgent, thinking that everything in the world can be what you want," Zongzheng Xi said, "Everyone has his own way, and you have invaded other people's original way for no reason, can you still blame others for making mistakes?" mistake?"

"According to what you say, there is no true love in this world that is willing to give selflessly?" Fu Yan said, "He is originally a member of my royal family, and he is related by blood. How can he be said to be a hindrance?"

"Who is he to you?" Zong Zhengxi sneered, "Can you be closer than you and Fu Xuan?"

Fu Yan was at a loss for words, Zong Zhengxi didn't bother him much, he just said that the time was tight, so he discussed some details with him and set off.

The winter snow in the outside has stopped, but the remaining snow on the ground still affects the speed of the road, and the halfway is also stop and go, beating around the bush, wasting a lot of time.

However, when passing through Yancheng on this road, there are still many fleeing people living near the streets and alleys around the city. When they see this luxurious sedan chair, they know that they are rich merchants who have also moved. Difficult.

Behind the curtain of the carriage, Zong Zhengxi asked Wei Xu and Sun Guang to donate their silver taels for the urgent needs of these common people.

After a while, Wei Xu raised the curtain, stretched his head and frowned and said: "Master, I have taken out all the money and dry food that I can carry, but there are more and more people on this street, there is no one at all." Can't go any further..."

Before Zong Zhengxi could make a move, the crowd gathered under the carriage glimpsed the scene inside from the gap in the curtain of the carriage, and became more and more noisy.

In the crowd, a woman who was approaching had a child in her arms, and when she saw this, she hurriedly shouted into the car: "Please, sir! Our mother and son have not eaten for two or three days... Now this I can't keep up the road! Just ask for a meal to feed my son!"

The mother's panicked voice made the baby in her arms cry, and the scene was unbelievably chaotic.

Just as Zong Zhengxi was about to make a move, he saw a flash of light around him, and he didn't know what was hitting the head of a person who was crowded beside the woman. The person let out a pained "Ouch", and the crying child was suddenly amused again. , "giggling" and kept laughing.

The woman was also quick-sighted, and took back the bright object that hit the head of the person next to her in her palm. She saw that it was a ring inlaid with gold and jade. !"

"Is it enough?"

Zong Zhengxi turned his head and saw Fu Zan took off the agate string from his wrist again.

"That's enough, that's enough! Thank you, nobleman!" The woman didn't want to be too greedy, and she took the things back and took them back.

As soon as she left, jealous people swarmed up to her, and all followed the same trick to beg for alms.

Fu Zhan changed hands and threw the agate string out, and took off the amber hair crown on his head, the crocheted gold thread tied with braids, the emerald belt tied, the purple gold forehead with pearls and golden treasures embedded... and he also took off the savage clothes on his body. The gown made of brocade that was on the ground was thrown out together.

There are ten kinds of luxurious items, big and small, and the people under the direct coach carriage are all snatching madly.I don't know what kind of rich and noble person I met today, and I immediately threw out the aristocratic outfit.

Zong Zhengxi took advantage of the chaos and secretly ordered: "Wei Xu, drive!"

When everyone was scrambling for these treasures, the soldiers escorted by the carriage were able to clear the way and forcefully squeezed out from the alley.

After walking a few miles and about to leave the city, Zong Zhengxi opened the curtain again, handed the things in his hand to Wei Xu, and said, "Here are some pieces of silver, go ahead and find any barbarian for him, and let him Go back to the city and go to the tailor shop to buy a winter coat for his master."

Wei Xu received the order, and then asked again: "How far is it from Lanling now?"

"We still have to go through three cities." Wei Xu said truthfully.

"Then you don't need to take shortcuts into the city, just walk along the official roads of the outer city," Zongzhengxi said in a deep voice, "The local population of Lanling is mainly plagued with disease patients, so Xu Hui will be more safe. On the contrary, there are refugees from the surrounding cities. There are four incidents, and we can only solve them for Yinliang, so we can't worry about it, and instead delay the business."

"Yes."

Zong Zhengxi pulled down the curtain, and when he looked up, he could see the silent expression of the young man in white single clothes. The latter felt his gaze, and said jerkyly, "...I can't do anything."

"They are Yan people."

Fu Yan's eyelids twitched, and he said hesitantly, "...What do you mean?"

"You, Fu Xuan, are people who have never investigated the truth of the people's status on the front line, but you can easily decide the lives of thousands of people with your power, talent, and words and deeds," Zong Zhengxi said coldly. Said, "People's momentary compassion comes and goes quickly. After a long time, everything I see and hear now will fade away, and this sympathy will disappear. Instead of this, it is better to figure it out from the beginning. , lest you regret it in the future and hate what you think at this time."

"According to what you mean, as long as a person makes a wrong step, no matter what he does in the future, he cannot be forgiven again?"

"If you can forgive yourself, no one else can interfere with you," Zong Zhengxi said, "As long as the human life is alive, you'd better have the courage to bear the price behind it."

Fu Zan felt a little bit satisfied with the words, and speculated: "What do you mean?"

"If no one is found in the end, or if Yuming fails to give a solution..." Zong Zhengxi's eyes were deep and cold, "I will kill you."

Fu Yan's heart tightened, and he pretended to be calm and said, "I have so many soldiers here, how dare you act recklessly in front of them?"

The man smiled deeply, unwilling to answer at all.

Afterwards, the barbarians sent over the purchased Yan people's winter clothes.Fu Zan put it on slowly, and the sleeves and hem of his clothes were enlarged, which made people look slimmer all of a sudden.

There was no more words in the car.

The group of people traveled for many days before arriving at Lanling, the place where the epidemic is most severe, which is close to the Wei River and relies on it for fertility.

At this time, from the city gate to the end of the alley, there is no trace of anyone.Occasionally, a doctor with a basket passed by in a hurry, and then disappeared in another door in an instant.Because the sick man couldn't get up from the bed, he was suffering a lot, but he didn't want to die easily, so he had to procrastinate and linger in the sick bed.However, most of his family members and attendants had already fled to avoid disaster, and those who were left to carry water and food from other cities to look after him for one or two days were also mostly serving the funeral in secret.

"The remaining patients in the city at this time must be people who have nowhere to go," Zong Zhengxi ordered, "Let's find a vacant hotel house and resettle them first."

The group of them, together with the barbarians accompanied by Fu Yan, must have a size of about a hundred people.Then they found that there were many vacancies in this city, and it was not difficult to find a temporary place to live, so they each found a place to live and settled down.

As soon as Zongzheng Xifang entered the room, he first asked for a pen and paper, and then told Wei Xu about everything.

"I wrote a letter here, roughly talking about the situation of the cities along the road, and told He Xuyu to send people to come over and adjust the food relief, and you go and send people back to the imperial capital."

"Yes." Thinking about what he had seen all the way, Wei Xu turned and said angrily again, "This group of stupid officials ran faster than anyone else before the epidemic, and the relief food had to be grabbed by the cronies of the patients themselves. No wonder the people's livelihood is resentful. I don't even care about the death of Yan Kingdom..."

"They don't care about their own lives, so naturally they don't care about other affairs that have nothing to do with them. Don't take life and death lightly on others," Zongzheng Xi said. Doctor, obviously still has contact with the patients here. Like you, first go to the government to take out the roster registered by the people in the city, go to each house to check the name of the family first, and then instead of claiming that there is a royal boy in Nanman who knows how to treat Fang, this time he came to prepare for rescue, and later someone in the city took Fang's life, and now he is gathering the Yan people to prepare to kill him one day, to solve the hatred of the country and the family.
