Although Qiao Zhongguo has been away from the battlefield for a long time, it must be said that this is his home ground.

He had just seen the miserable state of the people and soldiers in Wuding, and he was holding back his anger! Now that he was talking, he also mentioned "Laozi".

Qiao Diyi sat opposite, looking at his father talking with eyes full of admiration.

Now that General Ren had someone he could talk to, the burden on his shoulders was slightly lifted and he felt much more relaxed. He habitually raised his hand and touched his forehead, and suddenly found that he didn't seem to have a fever anymore!

This...how is this possible!

General Ren stood up suddenly and felt dizzy.

Upon seeing this, Qiao Zhongguo quickly supported General Ren. He guessed that the "miracle healing treatment" must have worked, but General Ren had been in poor health during this period and needed more recuperation.

Thinking of this, Qiao Zhongguo hurriedly said: "General Ren, now there are rules everywhere, and I, Old Qiao, am here to take care of everything. Just have a good sleep. We have a good foundation, and maybe everything will be fine."

General Ren only took this as words of comfort. He was indeed extremely tired, and it was time to relax after being tense for two months.

Qiao Zhongguo brought Qiao Diyi and Xiao Qianyue out of the tent, and General Ren lay down on the couch. He had been tossing and turning in the past few days, but today, for some reason, he fell asleep as soon as he touched the pillow.

Qiao Zhongguo looked at the gray sky above his head, let out a long breath, and walked towards the tent where Doctor Zou was.

At this time, Doctor Zou had already made arrangements for all the doctors.

Last night, Lord Qiao gave out only twelve so-called "invulnerability" pills. He ate one himself because he "didn't believe in evil", and gave the other eleven to the eleven youngest men in the team.

There were a total of eighty doctors who followed him into the city this time, and all of them had already prepared themselves mentally.

If the pills given by Master Qiao are really useful, then protect those kind-hearted young men. They are still young and have a long life ahead of them...

When Qiao Zhongguo, Qiao Diyi and Xiao Qianyue lifted the curtain and walked in, Doctor Zou was staring at a pill in a daze.

Seeing this, Qiao Zhongguo asked in a gentle voice, "Doctor Zou, how are things going?"

Doctor Zou came back to his senses, carefully placed the pill on the table, and replied seriously:

"Everything has been arranged. There are many people in the barracks, but with Doctor Cong here, everything is in good order. I have left forty-five people here."

"The situation in the city is more complicated. I will stay in Xinglin Hall from tomorrow to study a solution to the epidemic."

At this time Xiao Qianyue suddenly took a step forward.

She followed Qiao Zhongguo around today and had so many feelings in her heart. Since she couldn't go into the battlefield to kill the enemy, she had to do something.

"Doctor Zou, can Qianyue stay with you for the next few days? Don't look at me as a woman. I am very strong and not afraid of hardship. I can do any work!"

"Besides, there are many women and children in the city. If you doctors have any inconvenience, I can help you!"

Doctor Zou knew along the way that Xiao Qianyue was not an ordinary woman. He turned his head to look at Qiao Zhongguo, who had already nodded.

Doctor Zou naturally would not refuse when he saw this. "In that case, Miss Xiao, please follow me."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Qianyue hurriedly nodded in gratitude, "Thank you, Doctor Zou!"

Of course Qiao Diyi had to stay in the military camp. At such a difficult time, as the son of the commander-in-chief, he had to advance and retreat together with the other soldiers.

Seeing Xiao Qianyue so happy, Qiao Diyi was also happy for her.

This journey north will be an unforgettable experience for both him and Yue'er.

At this time, Qiao Zhongguo had already noticed the pills on Doctor Zou's case, so he asked, "Doctor Zou, what's wrong?"

Doctor Zou sat back and looked at the so-called "miracle rejuvenating" pill in front of him, still with a look of doubt on his face.

"General Qiao, are you sure you didn't lie to me?"

Qiao Zhongguo shook his head seriously.

Doctor Zou took a long breath when he saw this, cut off a small half of the pill in front of him, smelled it, licked it, crushed it and took a closer look, but found nothing.

He poured the crushed powder into a bowl of water beside him, but the powder dissolved in water immediately and there was no sign of any trickery.

Doctor Zou was so anxious that he kept scratching his head.

He could at least identify a few medicinal ingredients in ordinary pills, but this "miraculous cure" was just like last night's "invulnerability to all diseases", he couldn't tell a thing at all!

Qiao Zhongguo had expected this, and said sternly:

"Doctor Zou, forget it. It looks like we still have to rely on ourselves to fight this epidemic! I still say that man can conquer nature!"

Imperial Doctor Zou raised his head from the desk, his face showing no sign of dejection.

"As expected, there are no shortcuts in this world. Forget it, I don't have many years left to live anyway, so I'll just fight to the end!"

With the addition of a group of doctors, Wuding City began to operate in an orderly manner.

————

On the evening of the third day, Qiao Shisan arrived at the city of Wuding, dragging a tightly packed bag.

Qiao Zhongguo went up to the city wall to meet him. It turned out that Qiao Bo had already discovered the source of the epidemic. The things tied up upstream of the Wuding River were indeed the carcasses of livestock!

Qiao Bo had already destroyed the source of the epidemic and was personally guarding the upstream. He also specially asked Qiao Shisan to send back two livestock carcasses, thinking that it might help Doctor Zou to break the epidemic.

Qiao Zhongguo felt greatly relieved upon hearing this. He knew that Uncle Qiao would definitely do a great job!

At this time, Qiao Shisan mentioned Mo Qiandai again.

Everything happened just as Qiao Zhongguo had expected. Jiaocheng did send people, but it was just a small-scale test. After all, both parties knew that Mo Yongsheng would die.

Mo Qiandai's heart must be filled with boiling hatred. With his son's murder already in his head, he probably wanted to make a big move!

Doctor Zou was overjoyed when he received the dead animal's corpse!

This typhoid epidemic is indeed alarming. A doctor has been infected in the past two or three days. Imperial Doctor Zou has been running among the people for days. Now that he has found the source of the epidemic, he finally has a new direction!

Time passed quickly in the midst of busyness and struggle, and soon it was the 30th day of the twelfth lunar month, the last day of the first year of Ding'an.

Almost all the people in Wuding City had lost their loved ones, and the arrival of New Year's Eve made them even more miserable.

The soldiers guarding the border have left their homes and are now suffering from the epidemic, and their morale is also low.

The only consolation is that the heavy snow has finally stopped and the gray sky has begun to clear up.

At noon, a drum sounded suddenly in the city, and the loud "boom" startled everyone.

The common people came out of their houses one after another, all of them had gloomy and depressed looks.

Boom——

At this time, the drum sounded again, coming from the north gate!

Everyone was confused and worried that it was an invasion by northern bandits, so they dragged their sick bodies and ran towards the direction of the drum sound.

From afar, a tall platform came into view. The people didn't even know when the platform was built.

They looked up and saw General Qiao's son Qiao Diyi standing on the rack, with a pile of white cloth behind him.
