The rebirth of the first daughter to chase after the husband

Chapter 56 The Plague
Taking advantage of the lack of people, Bai Ji found Xiang Toon and asked, "Why is your lady with King Zhenbei?"

A few days ago, I was still clamoring that I would not marry unless my Lord Marquis, but holding hands with other men like this today, isn't this insulting my Lord Marquis?
"None of your business! Mind your own business! Go away!" Xiang Chun pushed Bai Ji away, but Bai Ji didn't let her go.

"Speak clearly, what is going on?"

Bai Ji grabbed Xiang Toon's arm, and the two were arguing. Seeing that Xiang Toon hadn't come back, Mo Zi came to look for her.

Seeing that Bai Ji was pestering her, he slapped Bai Ji's hand away, and asked, "Why? Is the young master so interested in other people's affairs?"

"This matter has nothing to do with you, get out of the way." Bai Ji warned Mo Zi in a cold tone.

Mo Zi didn't take it seriously, pulled Xiang Toon behind him, and said decisively: "If you hinder her again, don't blame me for being rude."

"Let's see, whoever loses wins." Bai Ji clenched the hilt of his sword tightly.

Lu Chaoyan's voice came from behind: "Bai Ji, don't be rude."

Looking back, Lu Chaoyan was looking at him with a dark face, Bai Ji had no choice but to turn back to Lu Chaoyan's side.

The army continued on their way and changed to a carriage with two larger spaces, which made them much more comfortable to sit on.

Shen Lili was leaning on the carriage, eating fruit, without the slightest appearance of a lady.

Meng Xuan said: "You usually behave like this in front of others?"

"What's the matter? It's like this in the carriage, and others can't see it. What are you afraid of?"

Anyway, the two of them are in a cooperative relationship, so there is no need to hold it in front of him, it's as comfortable as it gets.

"The little guard next to the young master came to your maid just now to inquire about your situation."

"That boy, Miss Ben dares to drive me away when she comes to propose marriage! Don't mention him to me, he will get angry if you mention him."

"You want to marry him to protect the Shen family?"

Meng Xuan's words shocked Shen Lili again, she always felt that Meng Xuan knew something, but she didn't dare to ask him directly.

I'm afraid that if it's just a coincidence, then the matter of my heavy work will be exposed.

"What are you thinking? Can't it be because you like him?"

Shen Lili said something with a guilty conscience.

"Oh? If you want to find a backer, this king is a good choice. Why don't you think about it?"

Meng Xuan suddenly brought his face closer, and Shen Lili froze in place in fright, the fruit in his hand fell, which attracted the attention of Xiang Toon outside the door.

"Miss? Are you okay?" Xiang Toon has been lying on the outside of the car door to eavesdrop. Hearing what Meng Xuan said to Shen Lili, he was shocked. Is this something a prince can say?
Isn't this what a disciple would say?

"fine!"

The two of them answered Xiang Toon tacitly at the same time. This way, Xiang Toon felt that his worries were a bit unnecessary.

After Shen Lili came to his senses, he pushed Meng Xuan away, sat up straight, and said in a low voice, "I thought you were also an honest gentleman, but I didn't expect you to be no different from those rich men."

After hearing this, Meng Xuan retorted: "This king is different from these brainless people."

"Did not see it."

"At least, this king has something more prominent than them."

Meng Xuan propped his forehead with his left hand, leaned against the carriage, and looked at Shen Lili playfully.

I don't know if I had an illusion. At that moment, Shen Lili actually felt that Meng Xuan's ice cube face was very coquettish at this moment.

She shook her head quickly and told herself not to be fooled by the man's appearance.

Meng Xuan did not continue to tease her, and fell asleep after closing his eyes.

After walking for a few days, they delayed their trip when they passed a small village.

The village was infected with the plague, and its faces were covered with blisters.

The villagers suffered unspeakably, the blisters were extremely itchy, and when they burst, the skin began to fester. The heart-piercing pain made their lives worse than death.

The most deadly thing is that some people in the army also contracted the plague because they had skin-to-skin contact with these villagers, so the army stopped here.

"The king of NATO has practiced medicine for many years. I don't know if he can cure this plague." Shen Lili wore a light veil and observed their situation with Meng Xuan, keeping a distance from the villagers as much as possible to avoid being infected.

"This plague is strange. The village chief said that they started to become like this half a month ago. But half a month ago, it happened to be the time when the army went to the frontier. This is too much a coincidence."

"You suspect that someone came here one step earlier?"

"You'd better stay at the inn with peace of mind, don't come out and walk around." Meng Xuangang wanted to ask Xiang Toon to take Shen Lili back, but Shen Lili looked at him with a straight face.

"You have no right to control me!"

Meng Xuan had no choice but to continue walking, observing the condition of these people.

Meng Jing is also researching what kind of disease these people are suffering from, and why the plague appears so well, and it is still on the route they are going to pass.

"My lord." Meng Jing wanted to take a closer look at the patient, but was stopped by Lu Chaoyan: "If the lord is also infected with this thing, I can't explain to my father. I also hope that the lord will put his own safety first."

After a few people met, Shen Lili asked Meng Jing, "Does the King of NATO have any countermeasures?"

He has been walking around the world for so many years, and he has never seen any serious or minor illnesses. This kind of thing should not trouble him.

Meng Jing's face was sullen, and it took him a long time to say: "The illnesses of these people are very strange. The village chief must have something to hide from us."

As soon as the words fell, Meng Xuan ordered Mo Zi behind him, saying, "Send someone to bring the village chief here."

"Yes, my lord."

When they returned to the inn, the village chief was brought in by Mo Zi. Seeing the room full of noble princes, he trembled and said falteringly, "My lords, please spare me!"

Before they could ask questions, the village head begged for mercy on the ground: "It's not a small one, so don't tell the lords! And this disease is really strange. Several doctors didn't find out the source and didn't say anything. The disease lasted for seven days. After that, they will attack others like crazy. Many people have already been bitten to death!"

The village chief sat on the ground with snot and tears, his hands slapping his thighs rhythmically.

"Why didn't you say it until now?" Meng Xuan was a little anxious. If those infected soldiers also went crazy, it might be difficult to control the situation.

"Before this epidemic, what strange things happened in the village?" Meng Jing didn't believe that the disease was groundless, and someone must have done it deliberately.

"Strange thing?" The village chief thought about it carefully, then suddenly widened his eyes, looked at the crowd and said excitedly: "Half a month ago, eight men in different clothes came here, and they walked around the village. Turn around and leave."

"Strange person?" Shen Lili suddenly remembered whether it could be Cui Ying's subordinates, and immediately asked, "Where have they been?"

The village head said in a daze, "They just wandered around the village and then left without doing anything."

Shen Lili still wanted to continue to ask, Xiang Toon didn't know when she left her, so she ran back in a hurry and said: "Miss, this servant asked an aunt, and said that half a month ago, the group of people wandered by the pool where they ate in the village. It’s been a long time. Maybe it’s poisoned there!”
