stand back, let me come

Chapter 1460: What did you say? (Part 1460) [Seeking monthly votes]

"Ximin, no matter what you become, even if you are green-faced and fanged, you are still me. My original intention will not change." Cui Xiong finally recovered from his excessive emotions and held Miao Ne's hands with both hands. With his wet eyes, he was really sincere.

Miao Ne was not used to such directness.

Miao Ne tried to pull her hand back, resisting the urge of goosebumps. But before she could use any strength, she found that there was warm liquid on Cui Xiong's palm, not sure if it was tears or sweat. She suddenly stopped, turned her head and sighed helplessly.

I comforted myself in my heart and thought of coaxing him by holding his hand.

I don't know who Cui Xiong looks like, he is so shameless crying in public. Cui Zhi, the fox spirit, doesn't look like him, and Cui Hui, the always dashing and straightforward lady, is even less likely to look like him. After thinking it over, I came to the conclusion that Cui Xiong looks like no one, he is just a simple and unpromising person.

Miao Ne asked: "Should I be moved and say something?"

Cui Xiong pursed his lips: "Whatever you say is fine."

He thought that accompanying Miao Ne to Yuanfu County would lead to some great progress, but plans could not keep up with changes. He did not achieve his goal and lost face in front of Miao Ne. He wanted to make further efforts, but his father refused and took him back to the southwest, saying that he was embarrassing.

Cui Xiong's face turned red with anger.

[Is the father trying to break up the couple? ]

He seemed ready to overturn the table if Cui Zhi tried to stop him.

He knew that he and Cui Zhi were completely different.

Cui Zhi was full of worries when he was young. The word "family" had been deeply engraved in his bones with the education accumulated over time. No matter how much the son of aristocratic family wanted to resist, he would not completely break with the family. However, Cui Xiong inherited some courage from Cui Hui that he was not afraid of wearing shoes even if he was barefoot. He was not interested in the position of heir to the family, nor was he reluctant to give up the glory and wealth. He still had a younger brother. If he left the Cui family, he was not afraid that no one would be filial to his parents or that there would be no successor to the family. If Cui Mi was useless, his parents were young and could have four children. If his mother was unwilling to have children with his father, there was still Cui Long in the Cui family, and it was okay for a daughter to be the head of the family.

In just a few breaths, Cui Xiong had figured out how to escape.

If Cui Zhi knew about this, he would be so angry that he would laugh. The old father mocked: [Breaking up a couple in love? She admitted that she and you are a couple in love? ]

Cui Xiong: [……]

He couldn't refute it at that time, but now he can feel justified!

Ximin also has him in her heart.

Cui Mi: “…”

Although he hadn't eaten for two days, he felt inexplicably full at the moment. Should he be tactful and give up his space?

Miao Ne said: "You can say anything, let's talk about business first."

Cui Xiong could only let go of his hand carefully.

I was so glad that the future that Er Mi talked about had not yet happened. Ximin's hands were soft and warm, and they had not turned into invulnerable iron and steel. Even if it turned into that, it didn't matter. As long as it was her, it was fine.

Miao Ne gathered his mood and reason and asked in detail.

"Hou Chi, who else did you see besides me?"

Cui Mi then mentioned several Kangguo officials he knew.

Li Wan was also among them.

For some reason, Miao Ne's face was extremely heavy. She subconsciously clenched the sword on the table to keep her sanity. "Li Jun and I are both powerful scholars of literature. Even the protection of literary energy can't stop the invasion of the epidemic? Isn't the situation of ordinary people even more difficult?"

Among the people Cui Mi mentioned, there were also military generals.

The physical qualities of a Budan warrior are much stronger than that of a Wenxin writer.

So far, I haven't heard of any healthy warrior being knocked down by the disease. Only when he is seriously injured and his Danfu is empty, there is a very small probability. The better the physical fitness, the less likely you are to get sick. This rule is applicable everywhere in the mainland.

As a result, it failed this time?

Cui Mi said: "I do have a guess."

Miao Ne looked up at him and motioned for him to continue.

Cui Mi expressed his thoughts along the way: "In the past, whether it was plague or cholera, the prescriptions prescribed by doctors were always effective in the early stages, but the efficacy decreased over time. Either the source of the disease has become defensive and resistant to the medicine, or the source of the disease has become more powerful, and the hard bones that were difficult to chew at the beginning can now be overcome..."

Miao Ne said: "This is similar to Jun Qiao's idea."

Qi Miao has always believed that the source of the disease is not a dead thing, but a living thing that is invisible to the naked eye. This kind of living thing will live and reproduce in the human body. Just like humans, those with stronger physiques are more likely to survive and reproduce. The best of the best are selected from generation to generation, and of course they are stronger.

So, is this also the case with the source of the disease?

At the beginning, they were weak and unable to defeat the scholars and warriors who were protected by the energy of heaven and earth, but after generations of reproduction, they developed targeted abilities?

If that's the case, it's really scary!

Cui Xiong asked nervously, "Can't we stop it at the source?"

"It's possible, but where is the source? Neither you nor I know." Miao Ne originally wanted to go home to have a meal and rest for half a day before returning to duty, but the news brought by the Cui Xiong brothers made her change her mind, "Human lives are at stake, you and I will follow me into the palace now!"

Since he began to serve as regent, Ning Yan has almost made his home in the outer court.

Miao Ne's route to the palace would pass by Li Wan's house. Li Wan was furious when he received the news: "Miao Ximin, you are such a feint!"

Are you trying to get yourself killed?

We agreed to rest together, but she secretly went back to go on duty.

Li Wan gritted his teeth, quickly put on his clothes, and asked his servants to prepare horses to enter the palace as he walked. He was determined not to lose to Miao Ne no matter what.

The steward hurriedly caught up: "You just came back..."

Li Wan turned over and jumped onto the horse's back, and disappeared in a few breaths.

Ning Yan was also surprised: "Why is Ximin back again?"

One look at Miao Ne's face told me that she didn't get enough rest. She probably just got home and then turned back. Ning Yan couldn't help but worry about Miao Ne's health and told her not to work too hard. Even if the sky fell, there would be people taller than her to hold it up first, so don't get too tired.

Miao Ne said: "I have something important to tell you!"

With Miao Ne's introduction, the Cui brothers successfully met Ning Yan.

After hearing the whole story, she became more interested in Cui Mi's abilities. She didn't expect that Cui had such a great treasure hidden.

When the Kang Kingdom was in trouble, Cui Mi rushed to warn them. From this, it can be seen that even if Cui Mi was not completely loyal, she could still be trusted at present. Thinking of this, Ning Yan's face became more and more kind.

Miao Ne asked: "Does the Minister have any countermeasures?"

Ning Yan knew what was going on: "I'm going to have to trouble Cui Erlang for this."

Since Cui Mi could see other people's future, this matter would be much easier to handle. She ordered a group of patrolling secret guards to come back and let Cui Mi check them one by one. If they wanted to find out the location and time of the enemy's disease source through the future, this group of people would be the most likely.

When Cui Mi looked at her, he felt he had found a backbone.

He bowed and said, "I am willing to be the minister's assistant."

Looking at his young face, Ning Yan's heart softened a little: "Just do your best. If Cui Erlang is unable to do it, don't force it."

It's a blessing, not a curse, but it's a curse that cannot be avoided.

The more powerful the ability, the heavier the burden it brings.

Cui Mi's identity is special. He is not only the son of Cui Zhi, but also the grandson of Cui Xiao. If something goes wrong in her hands, she will not be happy with Cui Zhi and Cui Xiao, and it will also cause a rift between them and Kangguo. In the current situation, stability is the best, and we cannot afford twists and turns.

Groups of people came over to look.

There was not a single survivor. Cui Mi's head was buzzing and he felt dizzy several times. Just when everyone was getting anxious, he finally saw a different scene. Cui Mi held the person in front of him tightly, his eyes wide open, and a bright light burst out from his eyes.

"You are different, you are indeed different!"

The captured Wu Zu was terrified and cried out in pain. It was not that he had a guilty conscience, but Cui Mi was so excited that he looked like a ghost, which made people feel creepy. Just when Wu Zu was worried about his life, Cui Mi suddenly calmed down and signaled him to leave.

As soon as he went out, Ning Yan, who was sitting next to him, came in.

She asked, “Is there something wrong with this person?”

Cui Mi said: "He is the only one among so many people who died without becoming a living dead. He was killed."

Ning Yan reacted quickly: "Where did he die?"

Fengluo was the safest place in Kangguo. Even brave warriors did not dare to act rashly, let alone attack and kill people. The person killed was a Fengluo guard of Kangguo. So, most likely he saw something he shouldn't have seen before his death and was silenced.

This place is most likely where the enemy launches the disease!

If we set up an ambush in advance, perhaps we can stop them?

Thinking of this, Ning Yan forced herself to suppress her joy.

However, Cui Mi knew very little about Fengluo and had no idea what was nearby. He could only describe the place based on a fleeting picture: "I heard the sound of water but didn't see it, the vegetation was dense, the branches and leaves were lush, the moon was waning, and it was in the shade on the mountainside."

Ning Yan asked: "Can you draw it?"

These clues are enough.

The approximate range can be locked based on vegetation characteristics.

Cui Mi nodded, but he was hesitant when he stood up: "Minister Ning, if you forcefully change the trajectory of the future, there is little hope of changing your fate. It is more likely that 'fate cannot be violated'. Not only will it backfire, it will also push the situation to a point where it cannot be reversed..."

This time he can find the location and time where the pathogen will be released in the future. The enemy may change their plan and change the release location, causing the interception to fail and even leading to an increase in the scope of spread.

Ning Yan said calmly: "I know."

Cui Mi's lips stammered twice, and Ning Yan just smiled coolly: "What are you afraid of? If I really believe in fate, I shouldn't be standing here, but lying in a grave with grass as high as a person."

Before this, who could believe that Ning Yan could become prime minister?

Ning Yan was very open-minded about life and death. She smiled and said, "Even if it is really fate that cannot be violated, I will live and die with Kang Guo."

It is commendable to die with ideals in mind.

Cui Mi bowed again.

Although there were few clues, we finally found the clue.

After Cui Mi finished the painting, Ning Yan arranged to investigate the other four people who were in the same group as the guard. Among the four, two turned into living dead, and the remaining two were killed. They were killed in different places, and one of them saw the face of the enemy before he died.

A common face with no recognition.

Fengluo was preparing for both, one hand to catch the spies who were the source of the disease, and the other hand to actively prepare for epidemic prevention. The undercurrent in the city was turbulent, but the common people were unaware of it and lived a peaceful life, working from sunrise to sunset. At most, they complained that being urged to drink hot water every day was annoying.

“When people are thirsty, how can they wait for the water to boil?”

In such a hot day, it is so refreshing to take a sip of cold food.

People around him laughed at him, saying, "You are such a jerk, you don't know how to enjoy your blessings. Are you happy if I make you sick by drinking raw water?"

There weren't so many requirements in the past.

We drink water to quench our thirst, so why do we care whether the water is clean or not?

Now that life is better, these hot guys have become picky. I don’t know if they are sincere or just being pretentious. It makes people angry and funny.

Everyone laughed again as they talked.

Fengluo was the most populous city in Kangguo. Even though it had expanded after its construction, there were still people everywhere in the city. In order to maintain public order, the guards patrolled more frequently. The common people were used to it and did not think it was much more frequent than usual.

A restaurant at the corner of an alley in the east of the city.

The Si-Rue Prefecture is conducting random checks on outsiders with unfamiliar accents.

"Open the bag and take a look at what's inside."

"Sir, we are good citizens, we haven't done anything wrong..." The old man who was randomly checked hugged his granddaughter tightly, his dark, wrinkled face pleading, fearing that the other party would shoot them with a gun if he was not satisfied. "We are all mountain products."

"It's just a routine check. It has nothing to do with whether you have committed any crime or not."

The old man felt relieved when he saw that other people were also checked.

When he opened the backpack, he found a pile of mountain products of varying quality. After checking them, the team leader said to the old man, "Send them to the market in the south of the city and see if you can get a higher price."

This restaurant's acquisition price is quite ruthless.

The restaurant owner was not happy when he heard this, and he put his hands on his hips and turned around and said, "Sir, what do you mean by this? This is ruining people's wealth!"

"Humph, you know what's going on."

It can be seen that these two people are familiar with each other.

The other diners who had seen such a big deal just watched the show and were not worried.

The inspection did not take much time. In just a few words, most of the work had been done, with only three groups of people in the corner left to be checked.

"Sir, please leave." After checking once, the proprietress waved her handkerchief to send the guest away, then turned around and complained, "I check every day but I haven't found any bad guys. Instead, I see bad guys doing business every other day... What law did I break by opening this restaurant? Are there any drugs hidden there?"

The customer said, "This is also their duty."

The proprietress said shrewdly, "I know, otherwise I would have reported him long ago. The neighbors checked twice in three days, and we checked three times in the past two days. Even if there is a rat hole in the kitchen, it can't be hidden. Why can't we treat everyone the same?"

The diners burst into laughter upon hearing this and tried to guess the reason.

The restaurant is bustling, but the corner is quiet.

One person dipped his finger in water and wrote: "Things?"

When the Si-Rui government was checking just now, one of the companions happened to go to drain the water, and the stuff was on him. He was worried that it would be found out, but fortunately nothing happened. They were commissioned at a high price to help smuggle some stuff, and it would be troublesome if the goods were lost.

The companion said, "I just hid the water tank in the yard."

There are stones pressing down inside the water tank, and the thing is stuck between the stones and the tank wall. It cannot be seen by the naked eye and is very safe.

He was a smart man and was a capable and habitual thief in his early years. He was nimble and could move things away immediately when he heard any noise outside.

Just find a chance to get it back later.

"That's fine, that's fine."

The companion smiled and said, "Let's eat first. Fengluo is indeed Fengluo. The food is more exquisite and delicious than ours."

"It's almost there. After I get the balance, I'll take you out for a good meal. The best food in Fengluo isn't in these places..."

"OK."

Today I went to the market to buy vegetables, and a young lady passed by me on a bicycle. The wind she brought with it carried a fragrant scent that was very tempting. I felt it was very familiar but I couldn't remember which perfume it was. It scratched my head.
