Chapter 993
These servants of the Nan family are very reliable, and their action efficiency is also very fast. With their assistance, soon, a fire ignited in this dead city, and many corrupt corpses in the city were gathered together. All of them were cremated in the street.

Because there are so many corpses, it is impossible to build a decent incineration platform. The form is simple and sloppy, and the only thing that can be seen is the miserable and miserable face they left behind...

Perhaps these innocent people did not want to die with peace in their eyes, but this kind of hatred was so weak in the end that they were swallowed up by the raging fire without even having a chance to cry out.

Su Qin looked at the jumping fire, feeling extremely sad in her heart. She never expected to see such a cruel scene on the way back to the palace again. These poor people were all abandoned by the Supreme Emperor. If this scene If they lost the war, there will be more people like these people, with no bones left!

She looked down at the wild flowers she had picked from the roadside in her hands. They were as small as the people in the fire at this time. Su Qin closed her eyes and took a deep breath, solemnly throwing her guilty heart into the jumping flames Among them, as the queen of the lotus country, she can't just watch her people end up like this!

At this time, she has unprecedented determination.

……

At this moment, outside Yuncheng, the nearest bustling town, a fast horse was stopped at the gate of the city.

The soldiers on the tower yelled angrily, "Who is coming? No outsiders are allowed to enter now!"

On the saddle, Lan Yun showed a cold face, and immediately showed her waist badge, "The imperial doctor sent by His Majesty is already on his way to Yuncheng, open the door quickly and wait for the team to arrive."

Royal doctor?

The soldier glanced at each other, with a strange look in his eyes, "Then you wait here, and I will report when I wait here."

After a while, the soldiers who came back showed a look of impatience, "The county guard ordered that now is a special period, no one is allowed to enter Yuncheng."

"Bold! This is His Majesty's oral order, how dare the sheriff refuse to obey?" Lan Yun was furious when she heard the words, and the horse under her also neighed.

The soldier seemed to be overwhelmed by Lan Yun's anger, and his face showed embarrassment, "It's useless for the general to say that, the county guard said he didn't receive His Majesty's order, so this general should make a detour, don't embarrass your subordinates! "

Lan Yun clenched the rein tightly, never expecting this to be the case here.

At this moment, many refugees have appeared outside the city gate one after another. They are all skinny and ragged. It can be seen how difficult the long journey is, but at this time the city gate is closed and they are not allowed to enter.

"Master Bing, please, let us go in! Please!" The refugees begged and knelt down at the gate of the city, kowtowing constantly, their desire left them no choice.

"Let's go, let's go... It doesn't matter who you come, no one is allowed to enter Yuncheng!" The soldiers on the tower looked impatient.

"Master Bing, please let us in! We don't have plague, we don't have disease... just let us in! Otherwise we will all die! Please!"

"Yes, Master Bing, we escaped with great difficulty... If we can't even be accommodated here, then we... have only a dead end?" The pleas of the refugees kept coming and going. Moved.

However, everyone knew it well, not to mention the plague outside, even if it wasn't, the sheriff didn't order to open the door, and they didn't dare to disobey the order with ten heads.

The soldier who was leading the conversation turned around immediately, as if he couldn't bear to look any longer, "Let's go! Yuncheng can't accept you!"

"Master Bing..." In an instant, all the hopes of the refugees collapsed. It was already a miracle that they could come here, and they could no longer walk.

Lan Yun frowned as she looked at everything in front of her, how could she not have received His Majesty's order?He got in touch with Prime Minister Situ Zhen, and Situ Zhen said that he had already sent Yuncheng by express letter early on, so he could just come to the county guard. These angry refugees may cause an inexplicable misunderstanding.

At this time, Lanyun noticed a strange sight on the city wall, he looked up and saw a soldier sneaking around, and his intuition told him that something must have happened in Yuncheng.

The night was dark, and a black shadow entered over the wall. Although the city gates were tightly guarded at this time, there was nothing difficult for him.

He flew across the roof all the way, and with a swift figure, he quickly found the Sheriff's Mansion.

At this moment, the sheriff was fidgeting in his study, pacing back and forth in the room constantly.

"My lord, there are many refugees gathered at the door, and they are still refusing to leave!" A guard's voice hurriedly came from outside the door.

Zhang Junshou's footsteps stopped for a moment, his face was extremely ugly, and he glared at the person in front of him sharply, "We must guard, we can't let them in, do you hear me?"

"Yes! This subordinate understands!"

"Wait, did the general leave today?"

The guard quickly replied, "It's gone, and the subordinates thought they should have retreated."

Zhang Junshou frowned full of thoughts, and then waved his hand, and the guard Deling immediately left the study.

Lan Yun was standing on the roof of the study at this time, and she could see everything that happened inside. It turned out that the sheriff knew that she was here. Could it be that he sent him away on purpose today?How dare this little sheriff resist the order?
There was a look of coldness in Lan Yun's eyes. She bent her knees and was about to make a move when she saw an old butler rushing towards the study in a panic, yelling constantly, "It's not good, my lord. , young master, he..."

"What's wrong with him, young master?" Sheriff Zhang's face changed, and the uneasiness in his heart grew bigger and bigger.

"Young Master, I'm afraid... I'm afraid I won't be able to..."

"What?" The two of them hurriedly left the study and headed towards a certain courtyard. Before they entered the door, they heard a woman's mournful cry coming from the room.

At this moment on the bed, a boy closed his eyes weakly, his chest was heaving violently, his breathing was short of breath, his face was flushed, and pus the size of a thumb appeared on that small face, limbs and arms. The sores were like lotus pods in patches, mixed with yellow and white pus.

"This...what the hell is going on?" Zhang Junshou was shocked when he saw the scene in front of him, and looked at the crying woman beside the couch in disbelief, "Ma'am, what's wrong with Shijie?"

The woman raised her head, her grief-stricken expression could not hide her blame, "Why did the master come back only now? Shijie, he..."

"The past few days have been busy with official duties, and you know the current situation... Hey, the past two days were fine, why did it suddenly become like this?" Zhang Junshou explained helplessly, looking at the child on the couch, he felt dizzy .

"Shijie had a high fever this morning, so I ordered a doctor to come, but the doctor couldn't diagnose anything. In the evening, I found many abscesses on his body, and as soon as I touched him...Master, do you think you will?" Could it be... the plague?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? How could it be a plague!" Sheriff Zhang immediately said coldly, but a trace of fear grew uncontrollably in his heart. "No, it won't, there is no case in Yuncheng yet! And no refugees have been allowed in. How could the good people get the plague?"

"But master... that Shijie is now..." The woman was terrified in her heart.

At this time, a soft sigh suddenly came from behind, "This is undoubtedly the plague!"

"Who?" Everyone turned around in surprise, and found a man in black appeared in the room at some point.

Zhang Junshou immediately shouted, "Come, there are assassins! Come!"

Lan Yun narrowed her eyes slightly, raised her hand and took off the black mask covering her face, revealing her handsome face, "Could it be that Jun Zhang doesn't recognize this general?"

Guard Zhang was slightly taken aback, "Lan, General Lan?"

"So Governor Zhang still remembers this general!" Lan Yun's tone was full of danger.

Hearing this, Jun Zhang's face changed slightly, and he seemed to mutter to himself, "Isn't General Lan already gone? Why..."

Lan Yun's eyes slowly shifted to the dying child on the bed at this time, "If this general leaves, who will save Mr. Zhang's only son? Governor Zhang doesn't have to doubt it, the son is suffering from the plague!"

Is it really... the plague?
The face of the woman beside the bed turned pale instantly, and at this time the maids in the room backed away in fright. You must know that the plague is contagious!
Zhang Junshou couldn't help but took a step back, and finally bit the bullet and sneered, "General Lan, don't be joking, you are not a doctor, how can you say that my son has the plague? There is no way my son will get the plague!"

Lan Yun clasped her arms around her chest with a determined look, "I just came back from the epidemic area, don't you know what the infected person looks like? If Zhang Junshou doesn't believe it, then you will regret it when the young master dies!"

Such cruel words made Junshou Zhang choke enough, but the wife of the sheriff immediately threw herself at Lan Yun's feet, grabbed his trouser legs, and cried and begged, "I beg the general to save my concubine's son, the general!" There must be a way, right?!"

But at this moment, Lan Yun just glanced at Zhang Junshou secretly, "I'm afraid my lord drove me away today because he didn't welcome me. Lan was just worried that something happened to Zhang Junshou. Now it seems that my lord is safe and sound. The general is relieved, farewell!"

"General Lan, please stay!" Zhang Junshou immediately stopped him, hesitated for a moment and turned to look at his only son, struggling in his heart...

Shijie is the only child of the Zhang family.

Seeing Jun Zhang's hesitant look, the woman immediately cried, "My lord! If anything happens to Shijie, I'll die as a concubine!"

Zhang Junshou gritted his teeth hard, took a deep breath and raised his eyes, "Can General Lan take a step to speak?"

Lan Yun raised her eyebrows slightly, and then followed Zhang Junshou into the study, he wanted to see what the other party had to say.

After closing the door, Zhang Junshou carefully looked around, and then sighed, "General Lan, I have a reason for doing this!"
