"From today onwards, this king will make the city gates closed, and everyone is not allowed to leave the city, let alone go north." Shen Si said seriously.
Hearing his words, Yu Yunxi and Shen Hezhi looked at each other, and complex emotions flashed in their eyes.
Shutting the gates means—
Regardless of life or death, they are all on their shoulders!
This action cut off the outbreak of the plague, and also cut off the possibility of the people fleeing northward.
Although the father-in-law (father) hated the court, he still had righteousness in his heart and didn't want to involve innocent people.
"Cough cough cough..."
Suddenly, Shen Hezhi couldn't help coughing.
Along the way, in order not to delay the journey, he endured his physical discomfort, and now he couldn't bear it anymore.
"Hezhi."
"Brother Yi."
"The son of the world."
Several worried voices sounded at the same time.
"I, I'm fine." Shen Hezhi panted slightly, then shook his head.
"Your body is important!" Shen Si said with a straight face.
Although he was not good at words, the concern in his eyes was about to overflow.
"Father Yi, please discuss with the generals first, I will help Brother Yi go to rest." Yu Yunxi pulled Shen Hezhi and was about to take him outside.
Shen Hezhi originally wanted to stay and hear more about the situation of the war, but he couldn't resist Yun Xi's firm attitude, so he had no choice but to go out with her.
Come to his room, let him sit down, and Yu Yunxi feels his pulse.
Although the heart pulse is a little weak, but fortunately there is no major problem.
Thanks to the past half month, although the journey was very hard, she did not forget to urge him to take the medicine.
"Brother Yi, you will be fine if you take a good rest." She said patiently.
"You let me rest, what about you?" Shen Hezhi raised his eyes, his eyes glanced at the blue shadow under her eyes, his tone was helpless.
She kept saying that Feng Yili had nothing to do with her no matter what.
Who is that? Along the way, every night I was on the road, I couldn't sleep at night, and I didn't know what I was worrying about.
"Brother Yi, I just had to travel too hard, so I couldn't sleep." Yu Yunxi's eyes flickered, and she spoke in a muffled voice.
When Shen Hezhi heard the words, he exposed her mercilessly: "When you and I led the army to fight together, you fell asleep on the ground, even if the corpses of the enemy were still under your body, you would not be killed because of too much hard work. And can't sleep."
"Brother Yoshi..."
Yu Yunxi was discouraged in an instant.
Sure enough, her small thoughts couldn't escape the eyes of her brother-in-law.
"Brother Yi, I'm just a little disappointed. I used to think that Feng Yili was at most being a little ruthless to me. He still pretended to be righteous and ordinary people in his heart. I didn't expect that I was mistaken."
Yu Yunxi smiled bitterly, then shook her head and mumbled.
From that night, when she heard that Feng Yili had mercilessly cut off reinforcements from the capital, her faith collapsed in that instant.
Hearing Yu Yunxi's words, Shen Hezhi remembered what Mu Yuan reported to him, which mentioned Feng Yili's actions.
He clenched his fists and his heart was heavy.
The wind is easy to leave...
Is this really such a person?
"Okay, brother Yi, just let us guard our southwest, don't worry about others." Yu Yunxi forced herself to smile, she said firmly.
Shen Hezhi twitched the corners of his mouth, and said in a gentle voice, "Okay, you can do whatever you want, and I support you."
If it wasn't for his unbelievable body, he would never have pushed her to Feng Yili, and let the other party hurt her like this.
…
"Xi'er, those people are all here."
In the most remote corner of the southwest, the door of a mansion was opened, and Shen Siyu was brought in by Yunxi.
Just as her foot crossed the threshold, Yu Yunxi could hear the sound of coughing.
There were bursts of coughing sounds, as if to cough out the heart and lungs of a person.
They were all terminally ill.
Although she had been mentally prepared, her heart sank when she saw this scene.
"Save, save us..."
An old woman was closest to them, her body was already emaciated.
She stretched out her hand, begging bitterly.
Shen Si's face was also very solemn.
"This is just one of the houses. The rest of the people with such symptoms have been temporarily locked up according to your instructions. The doctor is helpless. The only thing I can do is to make the place where they are locked up as large as possible. Thicker, better food..."
"This king can't do the rest. When this king inherited his father's title, he said that he would protect the people of the Southwest. This king broke his promise."
At the end, Shen Si's voice was a little choked up.
"The Nanyue Kingdom played this move hard enough, foster father, please check all the soldiers in the barracks again." Turning her head, Yu Yunxi said to Shen Si seriously.
"You mean, the opponent's target is actually our soldiers?" Shen Si frowned.
"Well, we rely on the soldiers to protect the Southwest. If these diseases spread in the barracks, the Southwest will be defeated directly." Yu Yunxi said solemnly.
"Okay, I'd rather arrest the wrong person than make a big mistake. As a father, let all the doctors check the entire barracks and the entire capital." Shen Si also knew that the situation was serious, so he nodded firmly.
"County Lord, I have read in a book that if you want to prevent the spread of the plague, the best thing is to stay away from them and burn them... with fire."
At this moment, a guard stepped forward and said bravely.
His words made the faces of Yu Yunxi and Shen Si turn cold.
Shen Si glanced around, looking at the helpless faces locked in the house, including children of how old...
How can he issue a death order?
Taking a deep breath, Shen Si closed his eyes and opened them again. He said wearily: "Think about it again. If it really comes to a point where there is no way to save it, we can only...sacrifice some people to save a city."
"Father, I'll go back first and think of a solution." Yu Yunxi said with a frown.
Niangqin's medical books recorded many difficult and miscellaneous diseases, and maybe there is really a solution, but it is not yet determined.
These people are living human beings.
Try it, what if there is really a way?
Taking a deep breath, Yu Yunxi quickly turned around and returned to the Southwest Palace.
When she left Beijing this time, she also brought back a small amount of her mother's books.
After entering the palace, Yu Yunxi asked the servants of the palace: "Where are the things that the county lord brought back from Beijing?"
"Report to the county magistrate, they have all moved into your house." The servant quickly replied.
Yu Yunxi wanted to go back to her yard.
But at this moment, Qianji quickly ran in, his tone solemn: "Master, the Nanyue Kingdom has sent troops, and their troops are now stationed within five miles of us."
What?
Nanyue Kingdom moved so fast?
Yu Yunxi looked solemn, she wanted to defend against the enemy.
But Shen Hezhi had changed into a silver armor at this time, and appeared in front of her with a silver gun.
"Brother Yi, you..."
"Let Wei Wei go meet the people of Nanyue Kingdom, you do what you want." Shen Hezhi looked at her and said softly.
He knew that she followed her father to see the tortured people just now, so he naturally knew that she would try to find medicine.
So, she shouldn't be distracted.
"But, brother-in-law, your body..."
Yu Yunxi frowned, looking worried.
But Shen Hezhi looked at her, and said slowly: "Xi'er, if one day I am really gone, I hope that I die for the people, instead of dying on the bed uselessly."
"Yi, Brother Yi..."
Yu Yunxi's eyes turned red instantly.
She could only watch him walk past her, get on his horse, and lead the soldiers and horses of the palace towards the southwestern city gate.
It would be great if he was healthy and healthy like ordinary people.
Once again, Yu Yunxi felt guilty for her incompetence in medical skills.
