Chapter 498
"In addition, thank you very much for this matter!" After a pause, he continued: "The situation in the world today is chaotic, and Dongfeng has accumulated malpractices and grievances for a long time. I understand your considerations, but people in the world may not understand. You should I know, not everyone understands the principle of invincibility. Once you take this step, you may have to endure far more than this in the future..."

"That's all I say, take care of yourself, even if it's for Mo'er and that child Zhinan." Looking at the man's indifferent expression, at this moment, Nangong Feng felt that his words were so feeble.

"En." Mo Tingye replied in a low voice.

Seeing this, a look of helplessness flashed across the eyes of several people. Since Nangong Qianmo fell into a coma, he has become like this, as if nothing in this world can affect his mood anymore.

Feng Zhiyao winked at several people, and they all got up and left.

Feng Zhiqing insisted on going to Qingtong Pass with Nangong Feng, Feng Zhiyao didn't allow it at first, but thinking about the epidemic in Yuezhou City, she didn't stop her anymore, but repeatedly told Nangong Feng to take good care of her.

In the room, Mo Tingye looked at the latest news sent from the building next to him, and finally there was a touch of tenderness between his brows. Since he left Shangjing, Mofeng would send a secret letter every day according to his instructions, which described in detail They wrote about the situation of Mo'er and Zhinan, such as what kind of food they used, what color of clothes they wore, everything was detailed, and they were densely written on two whole sheets of paper.

During the day, and only at this time, can he feel that his heart is warm and still beating.

Carefully folding up the secret letter and putting it in the brocade box at hand, Mo Tingye took out an inconspicuous black half-old purse from his bosom. The purse had begun to fade, as if it had been a few years old, but it was not difficult to see It was carefully collected and played with from time to time, which made the color fade gradually.

The stitches on the purse looked a bit clumsy, and there was an unknown flower embroidered crookedly, and there were two very small characters in the lower right corner - "Mo & Mo".

On his birthday six years ago, he forced her to do it for him, and it was probably the only "embroidery" that Mo'er made by himself in his life.

I don't know what came to mind, Mo Tingye suddenly laughed, just smiling but his eyes were stained with a touch of desolation, which made people worry, I saw him caressing the stitches on the purse, muttering: Mo'er , I will wait for you to wake up, just, don't make me wait too long, okay?

……

Ten days later, Yuezhou City in the south.

The people of Xueli in a thousand villages left their arrows, and the ghosts of Xiao Shu of ten thousand households sang.

This is what Mo Tingye and his party saw after entering the city.

If the Baiyue City after being burned, killed and looted by the bandits is an empty city, full of mourners and empty rooms, then the Yuezhou City in front of you, which has been ravaged by the epidemic, is a dead city, devastated and despondent.An atmosphere of panic and lifelessness filled the entire city of Yuezhou.

"I came here once three years ago. At that time, Yuezhou was so prosperous, but now it has become like this..." Feng Zhiyao sighed solemnly.

Looking at the mountains of corpses piled up all over the city, Mo Tingye pursed his lips and said, "Tantai Yixin really has a hand in it. Once the epidemic spreads, it's not just my soldiers and people in Dongqian who will die."

"Tingye, you go to the government office first, I'll go around the city to see if I can find out the source of the epidemic." Feng Zhiyao said in a deep voice.

Mo Tingye didn't stop him, but just told him: "Just do your best. Since this epidemic is man-made, it's not so easy for others to find out the flaws. Take care yourself."

"Well, I know it well." Feng Zhiyao nodded.

As soon as Mo Tingye and his party entered the government office, two brothers Xiahou Huafeng and Xiahou Huazheng came out to welcome them.

"The ministers Xiahou Huafeng and Xiahou Huazheng are meeting His Royal Highness King Xuan!"

Mo Tingye hurriedly stepped forward to help the two of them up: "You two uncles don't need to be polite, the king already knows the situation in Yuezhou, let's go to the government office to discuss it in detail."

After hearing this, Xiahou Huafeng couldn't help but secretly heaved a sigh of relief. They had heard about his niece's dystocia and coma. His Royal Highness King Xuan was hit hard because of this, and they were really worried. Yu Gong, they naturally hoped that King Xuan would be able to Putting on the armor again and carrying a knife to go into battle is private, so why don't they want him to be by his niece's side and take good care of her!

The so-called peace and harmony in the world, their uncles can't help, and they really have no position to persuade them, so they can only let him go.Now that the situation is critical, it would be best for him to put aside his love for his son and daughter and go to the border for the time being.

"How long can the food and grass in the city last?" Mo Tingye opened his mouth and asked bluntly.

Hearing this, Xiahou Huazheng sighed immediately, beat his chest and stamped his feet in annoyance and said, "It's all my fault. Yuezhou has been considered prosperous over the years. Even without the reinforcements of the imperial court, relying on the food and grass in the city to maintain three It's not difficult for Yue Yuan."

"But a month ago, I led the army to raid Nanyu's camp, and for a moment I was caught by their strategy of attacking east and west. When I came back to my senses, the army's granary caught fire. The south wind happened to blow at that time. Controlling the military rations has already destroyed more than half of it..."

"So, the food and grass left in the entire Yuezhou City can last up to ten days?" Mo Tingye asked in a deep voice.

Xia Hou Huafeng couldn't help but shook his head with a wry smile: "Food and grass are still second. The most terrible thing right now is the epidemic spreading in the city. Neither the military doctors nor the doctors in the city can do anything. If this continues, I'm afraid the food and grass will not be exhausted. The city will fall without attack!"

Speaking of this, Xia Hou Huafeng couldn't help but feel a touch of self-blame and guilt on his face. As the prefect of Yuezhou, seeing Yuezhou's precarious situation, he was helpless. He was really ashamed to face the people of this city!
"I will solve the problem of food and grass." Thinking of the corpses of soldiers Nan Jing he saw along the way, Mo Tingye suddenly asked: "How far is Tantai Yixin's camp from Yuezhou?"

"Less than thirty miles." Xiahou Huafeng replied.

Thirty miles?Then Nan Jing's people should not be infected with the epidemic, unless... Suddenly thinking of something, Mo Tingye frowned: "How do you deal with the dead bodies?"

Xiahou Huafeng replied: "Because he was afraid of the contagion of the epidemic, the government stepped in and buried them." Seeing that his complexion became more serious, he couldn't help but wondered: "But what's wrong with the way of handling it?"

"Dig it out and burn it all." Mo Tingye said coldly, his tone was full of unquestionable determination.

"What? Dig out all the corpses... This, isn't this too wicked..." Xiahou Huazheng couldn't help but said.

Xiahou Huafeng understood what he meant: "The lord is saying that those buried corpses will still be infected with the epidemic?"
