Dexing City, Wharf
When Xiao Yang and the city lord arrived, the situation was already on the verge of getting out of control!
Xiao Yang's face darkened: "Are you from the Zhou and Gu families in Beijing?"
A middle-aged man recognized the person and quickly stepped forward:
"Third Young Master, I am the Gu family's butler. We've come to pick you up..."
Before he could finish speaking, Xiao Yang raised his hand to stop him:
"No matter what you came here for now, you're likely to return empty-handed. Dexing City is under lockdown; you can only enter, not leave!"
"What? A city lockdown?"
The person who came to pick them up looked a little pale: Were we too late again?
Seeing their terrified expressions, Xiao Yang stepped forward to comfort them:
"However, you don't need to worry too much. The city is currently under lockdown only to prevent the plague from spreading. Those who are sick in the city are already being treated! Moreover, the Emperor has already sent imperial physicians over!"
Besides, you all know what kind of relationship I have with the Emperor, right? As long as I'm here, the Emperor won't abandon this place!
Judging from Xiao Yang and the others' determined expressions, it's probably impossible for them to leave with the people!
After thinking it over, the group concluded that Xiao Yang and the Emperor had a long-standing friendship and would definitely save him!
"Third Young Master, may we go in and see our young master?"
Xiao Yang looked at the group, thought for a moment, and nodded:
"If you are really worried, you can send people in to take care of them, but they are not allowed to come out until Dexing City is unsealed!"
After discussing it, the head butlers decided that each family would keep one person to take care of their young master!
Then the rest of the people took a boat back!
The city lord looked at the departing people with a worried expression: "They are all quite young, and it's only natural that their families would be concerned and want to take them away!"
Xiao Yang turned to look at the city lord:
"Yes, that's human nature!"
...
Two days have passed in the blink of an eye!
However, it was extremely difficult for city dwellers living near the Grand Canal!
Because more and more people are getting the plague! And other problems have also arisen!
Many people have already started developing spots and are becoming delirious! People in the city are filled with fear!
Everyone's started staying home, hoping they can hold out for as long as possible!
"Third Young Master, the people at the docks say they saw ships approaching from afar. Can you guess if our supplies have arrived?"
Xiao Yang and the city lord are now quite familiar with each other, so as soon as someone notifies the city lord, the city lord immediately comes over to tell Xiao Yang!
Seeing Xiao Yang's rosy complexion, the city lord couldn't help but tease him:
"Your physical condition is quite good. Ninety percent of the people in this city have some symptoms of the plague, and the remaining ten percent are those who haven't left their homes in the first place! Someone like you who goes out every day to observe the people's conditions has no symptoms at all. Tell me secretly, have you taken some kind of medicine?"
Xiao Yang also realized this; it was probably his wife who had taken care of him!
"What medicine can I take? I'm just in good physical condition because I exercise regularly! Okay, let's hurry to the dock! The supplies should have arrived!"
The city lord looked puzzled: "But this is too fast. It's only been two days since you wrote the letter, or did you write it earlier?"
Xiao Yang smiled mysteriously:
"secret!"
City Lord...
fart!
The two quickly arrived at the dock. Since most people were staying indoors, they rode their horses without any obstacles.
"One, two, three, four, there are four boats! It seems His Majesty still values this place!"
Xiao Yang rolled his eyes and ignored the city lord's nonsense!
As the ships drew closer, Xiao Yang suddenly sensed something and looked towards the second ship:
Yan'er, could it be that I'm hallucinating because I miss her so much? She shouldn't be here!
As the ship drew closer, Xiao Yang could see it clearly this time, and a surge of anger welled up within him.
As the ship approached the shore, Xiao Yang said to the people at the dock:
"Don't let her come over here, send her back immediately!"
Dockworker: "Isn't this a delivery of supplies and medicine? Why can't we stop?"
Xiao Yang looked at Song Yan'er, who was now in the cabin:
"Do exactly what I tell you to do!"
It's been so long since I've seen her!
I really miss her!
She's still so beautiful!
She was still so brave; knowing full well what the situation was like, she still came without hesitation!
Song Yan'er stood on the boat, looking at Xiao Yang standing on the shore:
He's lost weight! And gotten a bit darker!
But he is still the one in her heart!
"My husband, my husband!"
If Song Yan'er hadn't had some reservations, she would have jumped off the ship right away!
There's nothing we can do but wait for the ships to get closer, little by little, since we're here now!
We're getting closer!
We're getting closer!
Yes, we're almost there!
"My lord, I'm here!"
Song Yan'er waved her hand in greeting towards Xiao Yang!
"What are you doing here? Who sent you? Turn back the way you came right now, I won't let you stop!"
As she got closer, Song Yan'er finally saw the anger on Xiao Yang's face!
Song Yan'er...
I thought absence makes the heart grow fonder!
I never expected it to be like this!
Song Yan'er said in an annoyed tone:
"The Emperor sent me here, and you won't let me leave. Are you trying to defy the imperial decree?"
Xiao Yang...
The city lord was enjoying the show when he was surprised to find that the third young master's wife was so fierce!
I originally thought that someone with Xiao Yang's personality would find a wife who was gentle, considerate, and always put her husband first!
