If nothing happened, Xu Ji should have stayed to help suppress the bandits, but at this time the plague in the Northland did not wait for anyone, so he ordered someone to send a letter to the local government, and continued to lead the people forward.

After walking for another half a day, there was a sound of horseshoes behind them, and a thousand cavalry dispatched by Song Qingzhai arrived. They found the group of robbers on the way, they had already captured them and sent them to the local government, and also sent a letter to Beijing.

There is banditry before leaving the area of ​​Gyeonggi, which cannot be ignored.

After the two sides met, the speed of travel increased slightly.

Xu Ji gave up the carriage he took when he entered Beijing to the two imperial physicians. This carriage has been remodeled by skilled craftsmen in the North. It is not only durable, but also has high stability.

Of course, this comparison is only relative to the average level of this era.

The two imperial physicians suffered a lot even if they rode in a carriage, but seeing Xu Ji set an example, they gritted their teeth and stood upright. They were really dizzy and dizzy in the carriage, so they rode on horses. They couldn't bear it anymore, so they simply tied themselves to the carriage. superior.

Sometimes, in order not to hold back, the two of them even poured soothing soup on themselves, and when they fell asleep, they would not know anything...

In this way, on the eighth day of February, the group finally arrived in the north.

At the beginning of February, other places are warm and cold. The hardy winter jasmine has bloomed, and the apricot blossom is quietly brewing.

But the Northland is still full of ashes.

However, the closer you get to the Northland, the wider and smoother the road will be. The fields and trees are still covered with snow, but the road has been cleaned.

Whether it was riding a horse or riding a car, there was no forward bump. Despite the cold wind, the two imperial doctors were still carefully observing the surroundings.

It has long been heard that the Northland under the rule of the Great General Wang is already a thriving scene, how can it be done if you don't take a good look at it?

I also saw some sparse villages along the way, which were very different from the villages in other places, and seemed to be connected by some formations. Even a layman like an imperial physician could see that such a layout could be attacked You can retreat and defend. If you encounter small-scale harassment, the villagers are united and fully capable of self-protection.

And looking at the large houses of every household, life should be very affluent.

When encountering a post station along the way, they always stopped to rest for the night. After meeting the post station this time, Xu Ji asked someone to inquire about the situation of the post station. Originally, he planned to take people to take a good rest for a day to check the medicinal materials before going on the road.

Unexpectedly, the person who explored the way came back with an ugly face and said: "Princess, there is no one in the station, it has been sealed, and the seal says that there was a plague here.

"There are traces of quicklime and burnt moxa inside and outside the walls."

Xu Ji frowned, and after discussing with the two imperial physicians, the three of them went to the post station together.

This post station is similar to a small village. Apart from the post post house, there are also a few scattered farm houses.

But at this time the farmyard was also empty.

The imperial physician had prepared towels soaked in medicinal juice in advance and distributed them to everyone. At this moment, Xu Ji and others also put them on, and they also wore leather gloves on their hands, covering them up to their elbows.

After entering the post station and walking around, there was really no one inside, and all the furnishings were covered with a layer of dust.

The same is true of the nearby farmhouses.

Xu Ji consulted the two imperial physicians: "According to this situation, is there any possibility of being infected in the station?"

"Probably not," the two imperial physicians said seriously, "Although some plagues won't break out immediately after being infected, this inn has been vacant for a long time under dry and ventilated conditions, so it is very safe."
