Chapter 1 The real man should fight the sword in the rivers and lakes.

Things went well, and when Qian Tong saw Hwarang coming back with Qian Shun, he knew it was all over.

He still knows his brother very well. Although he respects his brother very much and is very loyal, when it comes to life and death, he still only cares about himself. After all, death is the most frightening thing compared to everything else. .

After arresting Qian Tong, Hua Lang decided to take him back to Tianchang County. At this time, Hua Lang asked Zhan Zhao, "Brother Zhan is very skilled in martial arts, have you ever thought about following Lord Bao?"

Zhan Zhao hesitated, and said, "I've heard about Mr. Bao's deeds in Tianchang County, but I just came out of the rivers and lakes for the first time, and I don't want to set foot in the officialdom, and I'm bound by those common things. Please forgive Zhan for not being able to follow Brother Hua's wish."

Seeing Zhan Zhao like this, Hua Lang knew that the chance for Zhan Zhao and Bao Zheng had not yet come, and Hua Lang was not a person who likes to force. He believed that as long as the time was right, Zhan Zhao and Bao Zheng would hit it off. Now Zhan Zhao wants to If he wants to roam the rivers and lakes, then let him roam.

"Since Brother Zhan has this plan, I will not force that brother, let's just say goodbye and see you in Jianghu someday."

Zhan Zhao cupped his hands, and rode away.

Looking at Zhan Zhao's back, Wen Meng suddenly said with some admiration: "It would be great if I can wield swords one day."

Hwarang smiled lightly: "Is it impossible for you to fight the rivers and lakes with swords?"

"why?"

"Because you used a knife!"

The sound of laughter came from the carriage, and everything was so peaceful.

It's just that when they came to the gate of Tianchang County, they felt as if they were suddenly pressed by a heavy stone, and they felt breathless, because there were many people at the gate, they were clamoring to enter the city, and they could faintly hear The noise in the city, but they went out of the city noisily.

What happened here, they only left for a few days?

After seeing this situation, Wen Meng's face changed. She has lived in Tianchang County for so long, but she has never encountered such a situation, and Hua Wan'er was even more surprised, saying: "What should we do?"

Hwarang stood on the carriage and looked towards the tower. After seeing Hwarang, a yamen servant suddenly disappeared. Mistaking it to be Hwarang, he quickly shouted: "Wait, I'll pick you up."

While speaking, Yin Wucuo flew down from the city gate and landed on the horse. He glanced at Wen Meng and said, "Let's go together."

Wen Meng nodded, then pulled Hua Wan'er up, jumped towards the tower, the tower was several feet high, but Wen Meng flew up very easily, and then, Yin Wucuo pulled Hua Lang up, also He flew up the tower.

After arriving at the tower, Hwarang quickly asked, "What happened here? How did it happen?"

Gongsun Ce's complexion was very bad, he sighed, and said, "Let's talk as we go, Master Bao is still waiting at the county government office!"

On the way, Hwarang found that there were not many pedestrians on the street, and even some shops were closed. Wherever he went, it seemed that there was a famine.At this time, Gongsun Ce finally said: "After we left Tianchang County, several families in Tianchang County suddenly became ill and died within a day. Mr. Bao went to check and found that those people had similar symptoms. Then, Bao My lord thought that those people might be infected with the plague, so he quickly ordered people to seal the city gates to prevent the plague from spreading outside."

"Plague? What symptoms do those people have?" Hwarang was quite frightened when he heard the word plague, because he knew the harm of plague very well. Even after more than 1000 years, many kinds of plague still cannot be solved. What's more, it is the Northern Song Dynasty where medical treatment and hygiene are not very good.

So, all Hwarang can hope for is that those people don't get the plague.

But things don't seem to be as Hwarang thought.

"After those people got sick, they had chest pains, coughing, sore throats, and unconsciousness."

After listening to Gongsun Ce's words, Hualang panicked. These symptoms were all symptoms of the plague patients. If it was really a plague, many people would die.

"Aside from those people, is anyone else sick?"

Gongsun Ce's complexion was even worse, and he nodded: "Yes, almost one person gets sick every day."

"Only one person?"

Gongsun Ce nodded: "There is only one person."

"Therefore, the people in Tianchang County dare not come out, for fear of catching the plague, right?" Hua Lang looked at Gongsun Ce, and he no longer needed Gongsun Ce's answer, because the matter was already clear.

"At this time, the people were in a state of panic. People in the city were afraid of contracting the plague and asked to open the city gate to let them escape. The adults were afraid that some of them would be infected with the plague and not find out or attack it, so they did not dare to let them out of the city, and went outside. The news was blocked, so those people outside the city gate didn't know why, and clamored to come in."

After listening to Gongsun Ce's words, Hua Lang and the others had a general understanding of the affairs of Tianchang County, and after understanding, Hua Lang was not very worried, but Wen Meng saw his lack of worry and asked: "You don't seem to be afraid of this plague?"

Hwarang smiled lightly: "I don't know if it's the plague!"

"Oh, do you think it's not the plague that the people in Tianchang County got sick and died?" Gongsun Ce was a little surprised, because he had studied medicine for many years and knew something about the plague. The plague is contagious, and people are infected every day. As for death, how could Hwarang say it might not be a plague?

Hwarang saw that everyone was puzzled, nodded and said: "The plague is contagious, and it spreads quickly, and there are many ways, but the plague is very severe, and it will not infect only one person a day, so I think these people died of the disease, maybe Not because of the plague."

"It's also possible that this plague spreads slowly?" Gongsun Ce still didn't dare to be careless. After all, if this is really a plague this time, the consequences would be disastrous.

Hwarang shook his head: "The plague has always spread very quickly. If it slows down, is it still called a plague? For now, let's go to the county government first. I need to inspect those corpses before making a decision."

Seeing that Hualang was so determined, Gongsun Ce and the others all hoped that the mass death in Tianchang County was not caused by the plague.

Many people gathered at the gate of the county yamen. They covered their mouths and noses, but couldn't help shouting in front of the door, asking Bao Zheng to give an explanation. Seeing these people, Hua Lang could only sigh. When these people were helpless, they All they can do is to pin their hopes on one parent, but if they do this, I'm afraid they won't be able to help them solve the problem, not only can't solve the problem, but it will make Bao Zheng even more embarrassed.
