The life of a peasant girl reborn

Chapter 392 The Undercurrent Surges (3)
After weighing all aspects, the emperor finally agreed to King Jin's request and ordered: King Jin will take four imperial doctors and a thousand soldiers to Longfeng Town. Son, Longfeng Town is about to be set on fire.

After the morning court, King Jin asked his bodyguards to prepare for the departure, while he went to the Prince's Mansion.When we arrived at the Prince's Mansion, we found that Prime Minister Su was also there.After the three of them greeted each other, they discussed the business.

"Prince, why did you ask the old man to make such a proposal at the court today?" Prime Minister Su asked aloud, the proposal was made at the prince's suggestion.

Seeing Prime Minister Su and King Jin's questioning eyes, the prince explained, "I got the news that those people in Longfeng Town were poisoned by Gu, and their symptoms were similar to the epidemic, so they were misunderstood. Diagnosed as plague."

"Gu poison? Where did the prince hear it?" Prime Minister Su hurriedly asked.

"Someone sent me a letter last night, which said so." The prince replied aloud, looked at the two of them, and continued to explain aloud, "Regardless of whether this matter is true or not, for us There is no harm in it. If it is really a Gu poison, that person is already looking for someone to cure the Gu poison, and then he will give the credit to the fifth brother. If it is not the Gu poison, this palace will also fight for the people in Longfeng Town, let They live a few more days. It's better than the second brother, and now I propose to burn Longfeng Town."

The three of them discussed some government affairs again, and they dispersed after about half an hour, and went back to their respective homes.

Hearing the news that King Jin is going to leave Beijing, Princess Jin Dongfang Chanfan has been busy all day preparing clothes for King Jin to go out.The two have been married for more than two years. Although they are pregnant with a daughter, they treat each other with respect.

On the third day, the morning court came, King Jin and the Emperor and Empress.The prince and other close people bid farewell.Watched by his wife, Dongfang Chanfan, he left the capital with two imperial doctors and a thousand guards.

Shen Xuan and Xue Yaoxi haven't got any news about the movement in the capital. In addition to "living leisurely" in the mountains these days, they also sent their subordinates to the town to monitor the development of the matter.

A few days passed, the Gu on Xue Yaoxi's five masters and servants began to react, and the Gu insect seemed to be absorbing their blood essence, making the five of them pale.Coughing constantly.The body is severely depleted.In the face of Gu poison, Shen Xuan and Shen Chaoxia, who know nothing about medical skills, also knew nothing about the situation of the few people, so they had to lie down and take good care of them every day.

Sun Xuexian's disease has been completely cured, but the body still needs to be nourished.After seeing the situation of Xue Yaoxi and the others, Sun Xuexian let them out of the cave and let them live in. The conditions in the cave are always better than those in the thatched cottage, at least they are more comfortable to lie down on.

In the cave, Shen Xuan brought food to the five people and just watched them eat it.Because of the Gu poison, the tortured people lost their appetites and ate very little food.

"How is it?" Seeing Xue Yaoxi's pale face, Shen Xuan asked with concern, her eyes full of worry.

Shen Xuan hasn't had a good time these few days, and she regrets why she didn't watch it before.Learned the art of Gu poison.Because they didn't know anything about Gu poison, no one dared to prescribe medicine indiscriminately, they could only watch Xue Yaoxi and the others suffer.

"Don't worry." Seeing the worried look in Shen Xuan's eyes, Xue Yaoxi comforted her.Although now when he was close to Shen Xuan, he felt that the Gu worms in his body were moving violently, and his body was tortured even more painfully, he did not intend to explain it.

"You are holding on for a few days. I believe that An Er will soon come back with the person who can detoxify the poison." Shen Xuan said aloud, not knowing whether she was telling the other party or herself.

"I believe in you." Xue Yaoxi endured the pain and replied aloud.Beads of sweat appeared on his forehead because of forbearance.

Seeing the sweat beads on Xue Yaoxi's forehead, Shen Xuan quickly wiped it with the handkerchief in her hand, and said aloud, "I'll get you a basin of water, and I'll wipe it off for you later."

After Shen Xuan finished speaking, she stood up and left the cave.Seeing Shen Xuan's figure disappear, Xue Yaoxi lay on the bed and breathed a sigh of relief, and took a few deep breaths.Regarding Xue Yaoxi's situation, the four Moyan who lived in the same cave with him all saw it, but they couldn't think of the reason even though they thought about it.

In the afternoon, before dinner, dark NO.17 and dark NO.18, who were sent to the town to inquire about news, returned.After a hasty dinner, the two went to report to Shen Xuan.

"Tell me, how is the situation in the town?" Shen Xuan asked aloud.

"Master, people started to die in the town today." Dark NO.18 replied.

"How many died?"

"About a dozen people."

"Where are the corpses?" Shen Xuan continued to ask, Shen Xuan is currently most concerned about the handling of those corpses.And where the Gu worms go in the body.

"It was put together by those yamen servants and prepared to be burned." An No. 17 replied, and he got the news from those yamen servants.

Hearing the two's answers, Shen Xuan fell into silence. If the corpse is burned, where should I go to investigate the whereabouts of the Gu worm.

"Okay, you two go back to rest first." Shen Xuan gave instructions to the two of them after regaining consciousness, while still thinking about the solution to this matter.

The next day the sun rose as usual, but it was hiding behind the clouds, and the thickness of the clouds was still increasing. Seeing this situation, everyone knew that there was a rain coming.

Before the application time in the afternoon, Dark NO.18 hurried back from the town to report.It turned out that seventy or eighty people had died in the town today, and the speed of the death made the people in the town panic.Although they knew that they had contracted the disease and would die soon, they still held hope in their hearts.Seeing so many people dying in front of them now, they began to despair and became irritable.

After listening to An No. 18's report, Shen Xuan looked up at the sky and saw the dark clouds, thinking that the rain was about to fall, and those corpses would definitely not be burned in time.Shen Xuan decided to go to the town in person to investigate the corpses and see where the Gu worms went.

Shen Xuan and Shen Chaoxia spoke briefly, disregarding Shen Chaoxia's obstruction, ordered Yun Shu and Li Luo to guard, and went down the mountain with dark NO.18.

The two went into the town, dressed up in disguise, made themselves look like they had the disease, and walked to find dark NO.17, coughing and coughing.After the three masters and servants met, they gathered together and waited for the opportunity.

At three o'clock in the unitary hour, the rain finally began to fall.There was a thunder and a bang, and the heavy rain poured down from the sky like the sky was falling.Because of the heavy rain, the number of yamen servants guarding the corpse was much less, only three or four people were guarding there.Such a situation saved Shen Xuan a lot of things.
