Chapter 504 It seems something big is happening
To put it bluntly, the child had pneumonia, but the term "pneumonia" did not exist in the Dashun Dynasty, so He Zhiran could only explain it in words they could understand.
As soon as she finished speaking, the woman knelt down in front of her.
"Madam, please save my son!"
He Zhiran quickly helped the man up.
"Don't worry, I have the right medicine in my car. Give it to the child first."
After saying this, He Zhiran turned around and got into the car, taking out antipyretics and granules for treating children's pneumonia from the space.
After all the packaging was changed, it was handed over to the woman, who was asked to give it to the child immediately.
At the same time, He Zhiran did not forget to ask the couple why the city gate was not opened for a long time.
"Do you know why the city gates haven't been opened yet?"
The man explained, "You must be from out of town, right? It's not surprising that you don't know the situation in the capital."
"Oh? What happened?" He Zhiran asked with a very curious look.
"It has been three days since the gates of the capital city were opened. We are all civilians living in the villages surrounding the capital. If our children were not sick and we wanted to try our luck, we would not be waiting here.
Judging from the situation today, I'm afraid the city gates cannot be opened normally."
After listening to the man's explanation, He Zhiran and Mo Jiuye looked at each other, and both of them had a bad premonition in their hearts.
The gates of the capital city have not been open for three days. There is only one possibility: there is a big problem inside.
Especially He Zhiran, who knew a lot about ancient history.
The most likely reason for this situation is that someone is forcing the emperor to abdicate.
The two of them subconsciously glanced at the city wall.
Mo Jiuye said softly, "It seems something big has happened, otherwise there wouldn't be so many guards on the city wall."
Although He Zhiran was not as clear about the situation here as Mo Jiuye, he could still get some clues from the status of the guards on the city wall.
The guards were all wearing armor, each holding a large gun, and all had solemn expressions.
In her understanding, the guards at the city gates were not so majestic. It was obvious that these were regular soldiers of Dashun.
Mo Jiuye's gaze finally fell on the person in the center of the city wall.
Even if that person turned into ashes, Mo Jiuye would still be able to recognize him.
It was Xue Bo, the youngest son of Prime Minister Xue.
Xue Bo is a little older than Mo Jiuye. This guy has liked wielding swords and guns since he was a child, but he is not very good at it.
Seeing that he had no talent for studying, Prime Minister Xue invited a martial arts master to teach him. This was exactly what Prime Minister Xue wanted. After all, his family consisted of civil officials and there was no military general who could take charge of the military power.
Xue Bo has always been arrogant because of his identity as the prime minister's son.
When the Mohists were resisting the invasion from the southern border, Prime Minister Xue shamelessly recommended Xue Bo to go to the southern border with the Mohists for training.
On the surface, it was said that Xue Bo was allowed to go for training, but Xue Bo secretly sent news about the Dashun Army to the people of southern Xinjiang.
As a result, the food and grass in the Dashun military camp were almost burned by the people of southern Xinjiang.
The person who led the Mohist army to fight at that time was the Seventh Brother. After the Seventh Brother found out about this, he immediately sent people to capture Xue Bo and interrogate him.
However, Xue Bo silenced the witnesses too quickly, and Seventh Brother was unable to find any favorable evidence to indicate that it was Xue Bo who secretly sent the message to Southern Xinjiang.
Even so, the seventh brother was still angry and ordered his men to beat Xue Bo with fifty military sticks, and then sent him back to the capital to be dealt with by the emperor.
After Xue Bo was sent back to the capital, it was unknown what means Prime Minister Xue used to secretly bail him out.
Since then, Xue Bo disappeared from the capital and never appeared again.
Unexpectedly, I met him when I returned to the capital!
If Mo Jiuye didn't want to alert the enemy so early, he would have wanted to take his life immediately.
He Zhiran saw that he looked unhappy, so he pulled his sleeve and asked in a low voice, "Husband, what's wrong with you?"
Mo Jiuye shook his head: "Let's leave here first, I will explain to you later."
He Zhiran also knew that this was not the place to talk, so the two of them tacitly pulled the carriage towards a deserted place.
After choosing a good location and seeing that there was no danger around, he slipped into the space.
Mo Jiuye told He Zhiran about Xue Bo's affairs as soon as possible.
"Husband, the leader of the guards is Xue Bo, which means that the Xue family may have already taken control of the entire court."
Mo Jiuye nodded: "Yes, that should be the case."
"What should we do now?" He Zhiran had no idea about this situation.
"It's still early. There will definitely be a large number of people entering the city later. We can take advantage of the crowds and blend in with them when the time comes."
The two were thinking of countermeasures in the space. Xiaobai seemed to see the sad expression on his master's face and flew over with his wings flapping.
It landed on Mo Jiuye's shoulder and made a gurgling sound, as if to say that it could help.
At first, Mo Jiuye didn’t understand what Xiaobai meant and thought that the little guy was just acting coquettishly with him.
He Zhiran realized something.
"Husband, is Xiaobai telling you that it can help?"
After hearing his wife's reminder, Mo Jiuye finally looked at Xiaobai seriously.
He turned his head to look at Xiaobai who was still gurgling on his shoulder.
"Xiaobai, are you going to the capital to deliver a letter?"
Xiaobai made gurgling sounds and nodded his head continuously.
Mo Jiuye subconsciously looked at the location of its wound. Xiaobai seemed to realize something and immediately flew up. That look should be telling Mo Jiuye that its injury was no longer a problem.
In fact, it is indeed a good idea to let Xiaobai go to the capital to exchange information with Fei Nanyu. Besides, the distance here is short and it won’t take much time.
But both of them were a little worried about Xiaobai's injury.
He Zhiran called Xiaobai over and rechecked its wound.
"Husband, Xiaobai's wound is not serious. As long as he doesn't fly too far, he should be fine."
"In that case, I'll write a note to Mr. Fei, asking about the situation in the capital, and if possible, asking him to help us enter the city."
Anyway, they came to Beijing and planned to meet Fei Nanyu when necessary, so it didn't matter if they let him know earlier.
The content of the note was very simple. It asked Fei Nanyu what happened in the capital, why the city gates were closed and the people were not allowed to enter or leave, and whether there was any way to help him enter the city.
Xiaobai left with the note, and Mo Jiuye and He Zhiran also squeezed into the crowd of people who wanted to enter the city.
Just as he expected, there were more and more people lining up at the city gate at this time.
Everyone was talking about the same topic, which was when they could enter the city.
Many of them were originally from Beijing and could not go home because they had gone out of the city for business. Some of them were carrying things on their shoulders and planning to go into the city to sell things.
Some merchants from other places were miserable when they saw the cars were loaded with goods.
Unfortunately, despite all the discussion, no one knew why the city gates were not allowing anyone to enter or leave, and when they would be opened...
