Outside the city.
A sturdy man holding a whip and his followers led the horse aside.
The man turned around and looked at the elegant man who had barely rolled off the horse, his eyebrows slightly raised.
"Master Zhu, are you okay?"
Mr. Zhu is a civil servant, and he doesn't look in good health.
Especially since this will happen overnight.
His face was blue and there was black under his eyes.
Lord Zhu had little strength left, and just waved his hand slightly when he heard this.
"Your Majesty's business is urgent."
General Weiyuan snorted and said nothing more.
Chu Shengan sent both of them out at the same time, and the danger involved can be imagined.
General Weiyuan received the news early in the morning.
The incident in Licheng that year was repeated, and his eyes were somewhat complicated.
I thought the plague in Licheng had long been wiped out in the fire.
Unfortunately, what we didn’t expect was that this epidemic was like a wildfire that could not be eradicated.
New life comes with the spring breeze.
They have no idea what is happening in Hongcheng now.
I originally planned to go directly to Hongcheng.
But Lord Zhu said that it would be convenient if he could go and see the Lord of Lanzhou.
Fortunately, Mancheng is not far from Hongcheng. If you ride fast, it will only take an hour or two.
But Lord Zhu regretted it as soon as he said this.
I let you talk too much, I let you talk too much!
My kung fu is not very good to begin with.
This matter was urgent and we had to ride on horseback at night.
But there was no comfortable carriage arranged for him.
Chu Shengan sent Lord Zhu not only because Lord Zhu was Prime Minister Li's man.
Also, among these civil servants, few are in good health.
Lord Zhu does have some skills.
That's why he was sent here.
But they hadn't had much rest along the way, and Lord Zhu was a little overwhelmed.
He looked at General Weiyuan, who looked like nothing had happened, with a look in his eyes that said, "Is this a human being?"
It seemed that his gaze was too intense, and General Weiyuan glanced at him subconsciously.
"Hey, for those of us who march and fight, if it's a military emergency, we might even march for three days and three nights, not to mention overnight."
At this moment, I wish that you would stand on the side of a civil servant.
I also feel that this military officer does have some skills.
"Forget it, let's not talk too much. Let's go find the Lord of Lanzhou first."
General Weiyuan nodded, put the whip at his waist, and walked inside.
Lord Zhu was following behind him, but his legs were weak for a moment and he slowed down a few steps.
Butler Zhou came out to greet them, completely different from his previous indifference.
When dealing with people, you always need to have more faces.
He had a smile on his face and raised his hands forward.
"Please, my lords."
Butler Zhou led them to the main hall.
The Lord of Lanzhou was already waiting there.
When they met, Lord Lanzhou bowed.
"General Weiyuan, congratulations, sir."
General Weiyuan nodded.
Lord Zhu raised his hand slightly, and the sleeve of his hand slid down three inches.
"Master, what's going on in Hongcheng?"
The Lord of Lanzhou immediately drooped his face.
"This...I don't know either."
Lord Zhu looked at him and said, "You don't know? This Hongcheng is under the jurisdiction of the Lord!"
He is quite imposing at this moment.
The Lord of Lanzhou really has no words to express his suffering.
"I'm afraid this matter in Hongcheng is going to be troublesome."
General Weiyuan didn't like them beating around the bush.
Hearing this, he just snorted coldly: "Trouble?"
"It's not a huge trouble!"
Lord Zhu was speechless for a moment and decided to retract his previous evaluation of the military officer.
Vulgar! So vulgar!
"Hongcheng is in such a mess with the epidemic, what about the county governor? Why hasn't he sent any news?!"
"I don't know either. My subordinate, Commander Liu, went to the county governor. The county governor... is gone."
The Lord of Lanzhou sighed.
"This epidemic is a matter of great consequence. I'm sure the governor of Hongcheng wouldn't dare do this."
Indeed, this is a serious crime punishable by the death of nine generations of the clan.
Besides, the governor of Hongcheng County is also gone.
There was no reason for him not to send the letter out.
"My guess is that someone intercepted the county governor's letter."
General Weiyuan was stunned, and Lord Zhu seemed to be thinking about something.
"What the Lord said makes sense. I believe no one would dare to conceal this matter. However, in this way."
"I'm afraid the epidemic in Hongcheng is not simple. There must be a thief behind it!"
Lord Zhu is indeed smart. He can guess a lot of things just from a few words.
The Lord of Lanzhou frowned.
"But where did this thief get the plague from?!"
All those who were involved back then were dealt with quickly.
Even those officials and doctors in Licheng.
As long as you get out alive.
They were all locked up together for six months.
After ensuring that none of them were disease-free, they were released.
"Hmph, what's the point of thinking about this now? Wasn't the epidemic in Licheng also sudden?"
General Weiyuan added.
Lord Zhu's face became increasingly grim.
really.
The epidemic in Licheng came suddenly, as if everyone was infected with the disease overnight.
"No matter what, let's go to Hongcheng first."
Lord Zhu nodded.
The Lord of Lanzhou was a little embarrassed: "General Weiyuan, you don't know."
"I have sent the garrison there. I'm afraid there aren't many survivors in Hongcheng."
General Weiyuan was stunned.
Lord Zhu sighed and said, "When we came here, His Majesty also sent an edict."
The Lord of Lanzhou looked at Lord Zhu.
"Your Majesty's will is..."
"Whatever happens to Licheng, happens to Hongcheng."
