Traitor

Chapter 106 Into the Enemy
However, Wen Gu seemed to have been prepared, "That has nothing to do with me."

"Then why are you following me? If it wasn't for me, you wouldn't have been lured out in Jinling City. Mu Baili must have thought something about using me as a bait." After she finished speaking, she began to cough again. Sitting on the edge of the bed trembling constantly.

Wen Gu frowned, "You are not congenitally deficient, so why is it not a drag from thinking too much?"

Zhao Wuyou smiled wryly, "Too little thinking means it's not that you've been dragged down, but that your death is not far away." She sighed lightly, and looked up at him, "Do you know the origin of the jade pendant? That's why you've been following me, thinking that my death is not far away." Is it the owner of the jade pendant?"

The jade pendant was given by his mother. If he really came for the jade pendant, then it is very likely that he also came for his mother.These years, Zhao Wuyou has always been suspicious of his parents' way of getting along, and it seems that there is a secret behind it.

"Believe it or not, I didn't know about the jade pendant at all. The reason why I appeared at that time was because I recognized your identity! The Minister of Rites has a bright future. Your father is the prime minister, so my own safety is also guaranteed. At least the Zhao family and Dongchang are not at odds, if I belong to you, you won’t dare to push me hard if you want to come to Dongchang.” Wen Gu smiled bitterly, “I just want a place and enjoy my old age in peace!”

"Why did Mu Baili arrest you?" Zhao Wuyou asked.

Wen Gu smiled, "Would you believe me if I said it was for a woman?"

Zhao Wuyou smiled coldly, "I don't believe it."

"Since I've said it and you don't believe it, then don't ask any more." Wen Gu went out, "Some things are actually not as complicated as you think. You smart people like to overcomplicate simple things."

What does this mean?
Watching Wen Gu's leaving back, Zhao Wuyou had doubts in her heart, but in fact, she didn't believe a word Wen Gu said.

He must know, mother's Yu Peili, what secret is hiding?Moreover, Mu Baili pursued him hard, and went to Jinling City to arrest him even thousands of miles away. How could it be for a woman?

Mu Baili is an eunuch, and these wine, sex and wealth will not be the target of his competition at all.

What kind of grudge is there between Wen Gu and Mu Baili?
Zhao Wuyou couldn't figure it out, he just felt that his brain was hurting, and the pain was a bit severe.Rubbing between her brows, she thought of Mu Baili's goodness, at least Mu Baili's service skills are excellent.

There was a rustling sound outside, and the little girl poked her head outside and smiled at her, "Brother, you are here!"

Zhao Wuyou forced a smile, "Girl, why are you here?"

"Big Brother!" The little girl came in nervously, "Actually, I know a secret, and that's what my mother told me."

"What secret?" Zhao Wuyou frowned, what could a little girl know?
The little girl looked left and right to make sure that there was no one outside, so she said cautiously, "Mother said that the plague in Yangliu Village actually started from a strange person. That strange person did not know where he came from, and fled to Yangliu Village. His uncles and uncles were rescued."

Zhao Wuyou frowned, and looked at her puzzled, "Weird? How weird?"

"Mother didn't say anything, but Mother only said that not long after that, all the uncles in Yangliu Village began to show symptoms of the plague. Everyone fell ill, very seriously." The little girl bit her lip, "Mother secretly told you all these things. mine."

"Then did your mother say, what kind of strange person is that strange person? Even if it is to describe, such as strange looks, strange behavior, strange speech, there must be something strange after all!" Zhao Wuyou can only explain to the child , The child is young, if you speak too profoundly, she must not understand.

The little girl suddenly realized, "Mother said, that strange man was injured and was chased and killed."

"That's it?" Zhao Wuyou frowned, "What kind of injury is it?"

"It seems that the body is rotten." The little girl blinked, "Just like everyone else, the injury is very serious."

"What happened later?" Zhao Wuyou asked.

The little girl shook her head, "I didn't know later."

Zhao Wuyou thought for a while, then lowered his voice and asked, "Niu'er, do you know what Zhuo Lei came to do that night?"

"Big brother, what on earth are you doing?" The little girl asked with blinked eyes, "Are you really going to harm us?"

Zhao Wuyou sighed softly, "Big Brother won't harm anyone, Big Brother just wants to help everyone."

Hearing these words, the little girl stared at Zhao Wuyou for a long time without saying a word.Those little hands twisted the corners of her patched clothes, as if hesitating.This girl seemed to know something, but she didn't dare to say it.

After all, Zhao Wuyou is an outsider.

Or, before that, someone warned her.

"If big brother can find the prescription and save everyone, big brother will definitely send you to a private school, so that you can study and practice calligraphy?" Zhao Wuyou is the most articulate, "Like those boys, they can learn to write and write. Would you like to?"

The little girl tilted her head to look at her, and there was a clear light in her clean eyes.In the presence of children, the intrigues of adults become a mirror to see the ugliest things in themselves.Hidden under the glamorous appearance, the dirty heart.

Zhao Wuyou's eyes narrowed for a moment, and he didn't say anything more.

But I heard the little girl say with a smile, "Big brother, let's make a deal, don't lie to me."

Zhao Wuyou nodded, "Okay!"

"I'll come to you at night." The little girl was mysterious.

"I'll wait for you!" Zhao Wuyou coughed lightly twice, watching the little girl run away quickly.

What does this kid know?
Wen Gu came in from the outside, "Why is this kid here?"

"It's nothing, she came to see me." Zhao Wuyou still had an indifferent expression on his face, "This place is lifeless, and she has no parents, so she is very lonely after all."

"A child without a mother is very pitiful." Wen Gu said lightly.

"I'll rest for a while, you look around." Zhao Wuyou lay on the wooden bed wearily.

Wen Gu nodded, and looked at her very gently, "Sleep well, I will watch for you outside, and no one will come in to disturb you." He knew that she was a light sleeper.

"Thank you!" Zhao Wuyou turned his back to him.

Wen Gu went out carefully, closed the bamboo curtain door carefully, and really guarded outside.Zhao Wuyou turned around, and through the gap in the bamboo curtain, he could clearly see the figure squatting at the door.Rao's father never kept it like this when he was a child.

His eyes darkened slightly, and Zhao Wuyou faintly felt that there was something wrong with Wen Gu's attitude towards him.This is not an ordinary compliment, nor is it respectful and contrary.

What exactly does he want from himself?

Except for her mother, she never trusted anyone who approached her rashly, even Yunzheng and Suxi, it took many years to gain her trust.

Closing his eyes, Zhao Wuyou didn't want to think about it, but now he still thinks about it, what secret will the little girl tell her tonight?
Wen Gu was standing outside, and there were coughs and coughs from inside from time to time, gradually becoming sparser from the initial density.He has been pinching the time, calculating the time since she took the medicine to the present, when the effect of the medicine will take effect.From the sound of the cough, it can be inferred how long the effect of the medicine will last and how long the subsequent effects will last.

What kind of medicine is this?
That day in the ancestral hall, he already noticed that there seemed to be a foreign object in her body, but he couldn't tell what it was.This pulse is always a bit weird, unlike the pulse of ordinary people.Of course, ordinary doctors can't see it.

Wen Gu paused, sighed inwardly, and showed embarrassment.

Once Zhao Wuyou fell asleep, it was dark.

"Mu Baili, I have a headache!" She frowned, remembering that this is not a post house, where did the dead eunuch come from?Unavoidably sighing lightly, Zhao Wuyou lightly coughed twice.Xu Shi caught a cold, and when she woke up, her complexion was even paler.

Wen Gu regretted it too late, he should have brought a small blanket with him.Her body was already in bad shape, and this would only make things worse.Wen Gu hurried in, "How is it?"

Zhao Wuyou sat up, rubbed his eyebrows and said in a low voice, "I have a headache."

"Perhaps you have caught a cold, I'll take your pulse." Wen Gu hurriedly sat down beside the bed, and stretched out his hand to pinch her wrist pulse.

Zhao Wuyou coughed badly, his face turned green and pale, it was extremely ugly.

Taking out the white porcelain bottle from the medicine box, Wen Gu looked at her worriedly, "When I was refining the medicine for you earlier, I specially made an extra bottle just in case. You are very cold, so This body is always extremely weak. It is said that it is congenitally deficient, but I think—"

He paused, and noticed that Zhao Wuyou was staring at him coldly, so he closed his eyes and did not continue.

"Bring me water!" Zhao Wuyou said.

Wen Gu turned on the kettle, watched Zhao Wuyou take the medicine, and sat there motionless behind him, as if he was thinking about something.

"You'd better swallow some words, otherwise I won't be able to keep you in the future." Zhao Wuyou said in a cold tone.

"Okay!" Wen Gu nodded.

"I'm hungry," she said.

"I'll take out the steamed buns and warm them up." Wen Gu turned and went out, and looked at her worriedly when he reached the door, "You alone——is it okay?"

Zhao Wuyou didn't say a word, still looking indifferent.

Seeing this, Wen Gu had no choice but to leave.

As soon as Wen Gu left, the little girl slipped in, "Big brother, I didn't dare to come in until I saw the old man gone, let's go!" Suddenly, by the faint candlelight, she was stunned for a while, "Big brother, you Why is your face worse than mine? Is your illness serious too?"

Zhao Wuyou coughed, "It's okay, let's go!"

The little girl nodded, "Follow me, be careful."

"Okay!" Zhao Wuyou pursed his lips.

The little girl went to an extremely remote place, and the isolation area is also different. The further you go inside, the more intense the death atmosphere inside.In the innermost part, there are basically plague patients with only one breath left.

Zhao Wuyou covered his mouth and nose, tried his best to hold his breath, not to let himself cough out, so as not to disturb others and cause unnecessary disasters.The little girl was leading the way, turning her head to look at Zhao Wuyou while stepping three times.Even such a young child knows how to worry about her body, it can be seen that her sick look has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Zhao Wuyou's feet were frivolous, and he couldn't help feeling that the two children were inferior.

The little girl is still light on her feet, but what about herself?

Suddenly, the little girl stopped, "Shh!" She made a face at Zhao Wuyou, then slowly squatted down and hid herself behind a haystack, "Big brother, there is someone in front!"

Zhao Wuyou took a closer look, and there seemed to be unusual people living in the yard ahead. These people were wearing coarse clothes and linen, and looked like ordinary people, but their faces were tightly covered, and only a pair of eyes were exposed.Moreover, they all wore gloves on their hands, which didn't look like people infected with the plague.

Who are they?

What are you trying to do here?
Zhao Wuyou was puzzled, and frowned at the little girl.

The little girl lowered her voice, "Since Brother Zhuo came, these people have come in and have been living here and refused to leave. None of us dare to approach here, they are so fierce!"

"Who are these people?" Zhao Wuyou asked in a low voice.
