Chapter 288
The kitchen quickly delivered a bowl of medicine to Huo Qihan's room. Huo Qihan pinched his nose and drank a little, but it was really hard to swallow, but he didn't want to get sick, so he could only drink the bowl of medicine while pinching his nose. It feels like the taste is gone.

This medicine is really not that bad to drink.

Huo Qihan is here to assist Master Li in dealing with the epidemic, and he is very busy. He has seen all kinds of life and death in just a few days, and he is full of emotion.

At least he and Lin Xiaorou still have a chance to see each other, but sometimes the people here don't even have the chance to say goodbye.

Through their efforts, the epidemic situation has been temporarily controlled and stabilized, because the people who died in the epidemic have been reduced to ashes, and a part of the source of infection has been cut off fundamentally. In addition to the isolation of some sick people, there is also a large amount of disaster relief funds in place. The purchase of medicinal materials, so the situation is good.

When King Jing, who was far away in the capital, heard the news, he had to express his appreciation to Huo Qihan, who had strategized and dealt with things calmly. He thought that he would be eager to come back when the disaster money was sent to him, but he didn't expect to stay there together to deal with the control of the epidemic. From the side In other words, this is already contributing to the dynasty.

King Jing stood alone, quietly looking at the boundless blue sky, his heart was as calm as water.

Under his threats and various methods these days, Lin Xiaorou no longer went on a hunger strike, but she ate very little, almost as soon as she touched her lips. While she was asleep, he went to see her a few times, and she was in shambles. The look on his face made him very distressed and helpless.

A letter from a foreign country, Prince Tuobu's father died suddenly, and Tuobu successfully ascended the throne, all the bloody struggles and ups and downs in it are unknown and need not be known.

But there is a saying that he is very interested in. Tuobu said that he is willing to exchange Lin Xiaorou and Huo Qihan's freedom with a foreign country that will never approach the border of the dynasty and never initiate a war for 20 years.

Thinking about it carefully, it seems to be a good deal!

Although the foreign country did not interfere with the imperial dynasty before, it was still secretly coveting, and was always waiting for the best time to launch a sneak attack and then trigger a full-scale war to plunder resources.

When the first emperors were born, there were also constant internal strife in the foreign country, but now that Tuobu ascended the throne, everything is in a new situation, so the situation is very difficult to say. The princesses who took the foreign country originally wanted to restrain each other in the future, but now Tuobu took the initiative to write If the letter came to say so, then he would just go along with the flow and make a cheap favor.

"Come here, drive Chengning Palace."

When King Jing came to Chengning Palace, Lin Xiaorou was basking in the sun in the courtyard. The maid took a reclining chair and put it in the courtyard. Lin Xiaorou lay on it with her eyes closed. The body was heaving, and the maid saw that King Jing was going to make a sound, but was finally stopped by King Jing's gesture.

Lin Xiaorou was as quiet as a thin kitten, her complexion was white with an unhealthy gleam in the sun, her two well-jointed hands rested lightly on the armrests of the chair, her whole body was bathed in the sun, peaceful and tranquil.

King Jing was stunned for a moment, held his breath slightly, and looked at her cautiously, fearing that the person in front of him would turn into a butterfly and fly away if he took too much breath.

However, his aura was too strong, and Lin Xiaorou, who closed her eyes and rested her mind, quickly sensed something, opened her eyes suddenly, and then slowly turned her head to look at him.

This time, she didn't scold him hysterically, nor did she cry out in pain, but just looked at him quietly.

But it was this calm look that made King Jing feel scared for the first time. It was a desperately cold look, like a cold sharp sword, which cut off all emotions in the blink of an eye. He felt that he had been completely excluded from her world.

At this moment, he understood that he might never fall in love with this woman in this life, and trapping her would only push her into the abyss, and he would be at odds with him ever since.

"Aren't you going to find him? I'll give you a chance."

Lin Xiaorou was stunned for a while, making sure that she didn't have auditory hallucinations, she jumped up from the chair quickly, walked in front of him quickly, and asked cautiously: "Is what you said true?"

King Jing looked at her eyes that had become pleading and puzzled because he couldn't believe it, and his heart began to feel a little sour.

"When will the king's words be false?"

Lin Xiaorou was completely stunned, dizzy with joy, she covered her face, tears flowed down between her fingers.

The heart that had been dead for many days finally began to slowly recover.

"Shouldn't you say thank you to me?"

Lin Xiaorou wiped away her tears, raised her head, looked at King Jing resentfully, and said, "The wolf let go of the sheep because it was not hungry. Shouldn't the sheep that survived by chance say thank you to the wolf?"

King Jing was speechless, if there was only hatred between the two of them, it would be futile to talk about anything.

That afternoon, Lin Xiaorou sat in the carriage that King Jing had arranged for her. The carriage was very ordinary, without any extravagant decorations. It seemed that some high-status women in the palace used it when they went out of the palace. It could be described as shabby. But even so, Lin Xiaorou was already very satisfied, all this was nothing compared to her feeling of going to see Huo Qihan.

King Jing arranged for a driver to take her there. Before setting off, Lin Xiaorou asked the driver what the address King Jing had told him. The driver gave her a strange look and said flatly, "The southwestern epidemic area."

Lin Xiaorou was taken aback, stared blankly at the driver who was over a hundred years old, and continued to ask, "What epidemic area?"

Seeing that she didn't seem to know anything about Southwest, the coachman explained: "There is a plague in Southwest, and many people died."

After speaking, he turned around and raised his whip, and drove his horse forward.

Lin Xiaorou was stunned, her brain thumped, and there seemed to be a blank in front of her eyes. She fell back into the carriage and didn't recover for a long time.

When she finally regained consciousness, she immediately lifted the curtain of the car and cursed at the palace that had been left behind.

"You bastard, you must die!"

Lin Xiaorou huddled in the carriage, crying non-stop, she hated King Jing so much, this man was like a snake and scorpion, he pushed Huo Qihan there even though he knew that going to the epidemic area would easily lead to infection and death.

With the bumping of the carriage, her tears were also shed, and her mood gradually calmed down.

What does it mean for King Jing to let her go this time?
As long as they go to the southwest, she and Huo Qihan are fine, then they can leave safely and live the life they want away from everything.

The Southwest trip was very hard, but they didn't encounter any danger along the way, including the places where they had heard of bandits, and they passed through safely. Although Lin Xiaorou felt strange, she didn't think too much about it.

King Jing, who was in the palace, was calmly looking at the report on the money obtained from killing the bandits. It seemed that the national treasury could be filled again.

Finally came to the southwest, when Lin Xiaorou saw the majestic city wall, she couldn't help jumping out of the carriage, but half hungry and half full, her legs and feet were weak, so her feet flopped and fell to the ground.

"Girl, I will go back after completing the task."

The coachman left her immediately after sending her to the southwest, probably because he was afraid of contracting the plague.

Lin Xiaorou couldn't help coughing from the dust raised by the rolling wheels.

Standing up, Lin Xiaorou hurried to the city gate before she could wipe off the dust on her body.

Two guards with their faces covered stopped her from approaching: "Girl, the Southwest Plague should leave quickly."

"I know about the plague, but I want to find a very important person, even if I die, I will die with him."

Lin Xiaorou said excitedly, but after thinking about it wrong, she poohed on the ground twice: "I'm here to find my man, you can't stop us from reuniting as husband and wife."

"No, the southwest city is closed, and no one is allowed to enter or leave."

Damn it, it was so hard to stop people from entering. Lin Xiaorou was dying of anxiety, and knew that these guards were just following orders from above. After all, the plague was no small matter, anyone who came in or out could spread the virus.

Lin Xiaorou knew that the two guards had done nothing wrong, so she couldn't force her way in, she could only keep saying good things and pleading for mercy.

"Brother, please do me a favor, I will thank you all when I find my husband."

"No."

"Brother, why don't you just open the door and let me take a look, okay?"

"No."

"Brother, I have difficulty breathing. I feel so uncomfortable. I have to go to the city to find a doctor."

"No."

Lin Xiaorou's face turned dark, she looked at the two guards speechlessly, a little flustered.

And the two guards stared forward, completely treating her as a non-existent air.

Lin Xiaorou was very anxious, she didn't know what was going on with Huo Qihan, and she was anxious to make sure that he was all right, otherwise if something happened to him, she wouldn't want to live anymore, thinking about her tears flowed down, the tears were first-class, all Worry and anxiety turned into wailing.

"You bad guys, you bastards, I worked hard all the way here, but you gave me such a setback. I just wanted to see my husband, but you obstructed me in every possible way. Your hearts are not made of flesh and blood. Black and iron."

She was crying and howling.

On the city wall, Huo Qihan and Li Fu were surveying the wind direction. A group of dead bodies were going to be cremated today. To ensure safety, they decided to survey the wind direction first and then choose the most suitable cremation site and location.

Huo Qihan was wearing a light blue robe, the high-quality material glowed faintly in the sun, his black hair was tied up slightly, and he only pulled it gently with a white jade hairpin. He looked very casual, but There is also a hint of elegance.

At this time, his fingers were slightly closed, holding a handful of yellow sand in his hand.

Raising the hand, the yellow sand fluttered from the gaps between the fingertips along the direction of the wind. Under the sun, it was like flying fine diamonds, shining with a special light.

Li Fu narrowed his eyes and looked at it seriously, and then said in a clear voice: "The wind blows to the northwest."

Huo Qihan clapped his hands to wipe off the remaining yellow sand in his palms.

"Let's go, it's not too late."

Li Fu looked at Huo Qihan, who had always been calm and calm, and couldn't help but sighed: "It's a pity that a talent like Brother Huo doesn't enter the court and become an official."

In the past few days, Huo Qihan has revealed his identity to Li Fu, and Li Fu is very surprised, the person who is so calm and calm is not an official, because many times his ability has already convinced him It can be said that Huo Qihan contributed the most to the control of the plague this time, even he was just running errands.
