"Miss Ting, please write the letter. I will send it to Mr. Gu by flying eagle right away." The weasel had an idea and quickly told the shopkeeper not to accept new guests to stay in the hotel for the time being.
He also asked the innkeeper to go to Huichuntang to buy mugwort for fumigation.
Fumigate the inn inside and out.
Gu Beiting finished writing and handed the letter to him, "I still have to go find Mr. Zhou."
"Miss Ting, I'll go with you." The weasel knew that this matter was serious and did not dare to let Gu Beiting go alone.
He took Gu Beiting outside, and the carriage was ready. He asked Gu Beiting to sit inside, and he sat on the shaft outside.
Arriving at the back door of the county government office, he hurriedly asked the staff to inform them that Gu Beiting from Mengjiazhuang wanted to see him.
County Magistrate Zhou, Chief Clerk Yao, and County Magistrate Lin were discussing matters in the county office. Currently, the people of many parts of Dashun were pouring into the city occupied by the Gu family army.
They have to find a way to deal with possible changes that may occur next.
When they heard their men report that it was Steward Huang from the Liu Family Inn and Gu Beiting from the Meng Family Village who were coming, the three of them exchanged glances. This was not going well.
He quickly asked someone to invite Gu Beiting and the weasel in.
When Gu Beiting arrived in front of the three people, she had no time to salute. She could only bow to them randomly and quickly explain the whole story.
Magistrate Zhou quickly ordered the city gates to be closed, temporarily prohibiting anyone from entering or leaving.
"Master Zhou, what's the reason?"
"Just say there's been a theft and close the city gates to investigate. It's evening already." Lord Zhou said with a worried look on his face. "Investigate everyone who went to Datian Village."
"County Magistrate Zhou, I have to leave the city. I have to go to Datian Village." Gu Beiting thought that the bearded man's garrison was still near Datian Village.
She had to go and inform the bearded man's garrison not to contact the villagers.
"Send a messenger to take you there."
"Give me a horse. I can ride there myself." Gu Beiting refused the offer from County Magistrate Zhou.
She suggested that County Magistrate Zhou have the people in the county government cooperate with Huichuntang, and Yun Xiaobo would also come here. She had already written a letter to tell Su Qi.
After saying this, Gu Beiting rode away on horseback.
When Gu Beiting arrived at the city gate, many people were already stopped there. She took out the token given by the county government and left quickly. Riding alone on horseback, she realized how nervous and scared she was.
She didn't know the direction of Datian Village, so she stopped at a village and asked which way to Datian Village.
A woman kindly showed her the way.
Gu Beiting thanked him and got on her horse and left.
The bearded man received orders from above and led 10,000 troops to Yun County to camp, waiting for the opportunity to attack the Southern Li Kingdom.
Nan Liguo still put in a lot of effort in dealing with the Gu family army.
This also allowed Gu Beiheng to quickly find an excuse to attack.
The garrison is located close to Datian Village, and the food purchased is usually delivered to the garrison camp by the villagers of Datian Village.
"General Qiu, there is a girl looking for you at the gate of the camp." The personal guard woke up the bearded man who was about to sleep.
"Who's looking for me at this time? What's the matter?" The bearded man frowned with a dark face.
"She said she had to meet in person before she could tell me. She seemed to be from Mengjia Village."
The bearded man muttered something about trouble, then stood up and walked to the door. From a distance, he saw Gu Beiting sitting on the ground in a disgraceful manner, with a bay horse not far away.
It wasn't that Gu Beiting wanted to look good, but after all this trouble and the fear she felt, her calves were already trembling. She rarely rode a horse, and she was exhausted.
Someone reminded Gu Beiting that the bearded man had arrived.
Gu Beiting raised her eyes and looked at the bearded man again. He seemed to be even darker, and his already bronze face was even darker.
The two looked at each other and then looked away silently.
"Miss Ting."
When Gu Beiting wanted to get up, she found that her legs were shaking.
"It's over, I can't get up." Gu Beiting slapped her legs, still shivering.
The bearded man came over and picked her up like a chicken, "Come in with me." He knew that Gu Beiting would not come here unless it was something important.
Gu Beiting held his arm tightly and went in with him.
The dozen or so guards at the camp gate silently watched the bearded man taking unusually good care of Gu Beiting. You know, usually the bearded man looked at women like cockroaches.
The guards didn't dare speak and exchanged silent gossip with their eyes.
When she arrived at the tent, Gu Beiting breathed a sigh of relief.
Sitting on the chair that the bearded man usually sat on, she let out a long sigh. For some reason, in front of the bearded man, Gu Beiting felt very relaxed and at ease.
"Well, I came here to talk to you about something."
The bearded man poured a glass of water and handed it to Gu Beiting, saying in a deep voice:
"I know."
The two of them were alone together, and seemed to be thinking about the past.
Gu Beiting lowered her head and drank a glass of water in one gulp. "Leprosy has appeared in Datian Village. Our garrison camp needs to be screened. And why did it appear in Datian Village? Is there some conspiracy against our garrison?"
"What did you say?" The bearded man grabbed Gu Beiting's cold hand.
A pair of soft little hands were placed in his broad, rough hands. The bearded man felt the urge to warm Gu Beiting's hands. "How did you know that leprosy was discovered in Datian Village?"
Gu Beiting looked up at him and did not struggle to retract her still cold hand.
He looked away before telling her what happened today.
"Come here, gather all the lieutenants and captains." The bearded man knew something was wrong.
Gu Beiting was right. There must be a conspiracy against the garrison and the people of Yun County.
"Yes." The sound of footsteps leaving was heard outside the door.
"You rest in my tent tonight. I can't sleep tonight." The bearded man still held her hand tightly while speaking.
"I want to take your pulse."
"Beiting, I..." The bearded man didn't say what was in his heart in the end. He asked Gu Beiting to feel his pulse.
Gu Beiting took his pulse and found that he was in good health. "You're fine."
Looking at Gu Beiting's smooth forehead, the bearded man felt an indescribable sense of depression. The matter at hand did not allow him to be distracted, so he reached out and straightened a strand of hair by Gu Beiting's ear.
"I'll ask someone to fetch some water for you to wash. You can go to sleep first." The bearded man stood up.
"Aotian, I want to go through the screening with your camp's military doctor." Gu Beiting rested for a while and felt that she could stand up.
The bearded man turned and glanced at her. A voice came from outside the door. "Report to the General, the assembly is complete."
"You should rest for a while."
The bearded man said this and left.
The military doctor quickly started screening the cooks, but none of them were found to have the virus. After an hour of checking, no one was found to have the virus.
Someone whispered, "General Qiu, that girl said just gossip, right?"
"It's really a big deal to disturb everyone's rest."
Gu Beiting's face flushed red from being questioned. She gritted her teeth and said, "Isn't it the best news that nothing was discovered?"
"So you're deliberately making fun of us?"
"I didn't." Gu Beiting looked at the bearded man again, meeting his deep eyes, "I really didn't."
"I trust you."
The others kept quiet, and the bearded man said that since he believed it, he would continue screening.
After the military doctor finished all the examinations, he came over with a tired look and said that he had found nothing.
"Is there anyone left out?" Gu Beiting felt something was wrong. Normally, the first thing Datian Village would discover would always be the garrison camp.
Everyone shook their heads.
At this time, someone in the kitchen raised his hand and said, "General, Xiao Teng, who comes to buy food for the kitchen, hasn't come yet."
"Where are the others?"
"He caught a cold. Today he went to get some medicine, boiled it, drank it, and went to sleep." The kitchen originally wanted to keep it secret, but considering the situation, they were afraid of delaying things.
"Why don't you say anything?"
"this……"
Gu Beiting said, "Let's go and take a look."
