A happy event in a fertile field: the black-bellied husband is as beautiful as a flower

Chapter 895

Meng Yan asked, "How many people in the town are infected?"

The shopkeeper said: "I don't know the exact number, but there must be at least one or two hundred people. The officers and soldiers dealt with it in a timely manner and promptly evacuated the healthy people from the town. Only then did some people's lives be saved."

Chongyi said: "How do you know so clearly?"

"How can I not be clear," the shopkeeper said, "After the imperial envoy and the remaining officers and soldiers evacuated the townspeople to a safe place, in order to prevent the plague from happening again, they had to transfer medicinal materials from other places. The small shop So they confiscated a batch of medicinal materials and sent them there in person. These are what the people there said.”

The shopkeeper also said: "The people over there are very depressed, and I heard from them that there were two generals who commanded officers and soldiers in the town before, and they helped them tide over the difficulties, but when it came to the end, it is said that both generals were infected with the disease. The plague couldn't get out in the end."

"Two generals?" Meng Yan frowned.

The shopkeeper said: "Yes, there are two generals, one male and one female."

The common people don't know the rank and title of the generals. For them, those who lead the army can be collectively referred to as generals.

But when the shopkeeper said this, Meng Yan couldn't help but change his expression.

In addition to the imperial envoys, there was also a military commander who led the army. If she remembered correctly, it seemed to be the son of the Qiu family.

But later, the whereabouts of Mr. Qiu's family were unknown, and Lord Mingyan rushed to support him.Before the follow-up news spread to the capital, the faceless man happened immediately, and Meng Yan had no time to take care of it afterwards.

Now that she heard the latest news in this place, how could she turn a deaf ear to it.

The two generals, a man and a woman, are they referring to Qiu Ke and Ming Yanjun?

The shopkeeper has never seen the symptoms of the sick people in the town. He only heard the evacuated people describe that at first they had a rash and fever. .

If they were really trapped in a plague-ridden town, the situation must be dangerous.

The buddy bought all the necessary supplies when it was close to noon.

However, Meng Yan looked at the sky and made up his mind: "Chongyi, you go back with your things first, and I'll go to the town to have a look."

The shopkeeper said: "Girl must not, it is too late for others to hide, how can the girl lean over there. Now the town is full of infected people, there is no cure, they can only wait for death!"

Chongyi probably also guessed the identities of the two generals, a man and a woman, and said with a serious expression: "I don't worry about you going alone, I will go with you."

Following Meng Yan and Chongyi out of the valley was a secret guard who was in charge of communicating news to Chongxian in the valley.

Now Chongyi called him out neatly, and asked him to drive the carriage back to the valley first, and explain the situation to Chongxian, so as not to worry him.

Immediately, Meng Yan asked the shopkeeper to help prepare two fast horses.

Before leaving, Meng Yan also took a medicine box with her from the pharmacy, which contained some common herbs for emergencies.

Seeing that the shopkeeper couldn't stop him, he had to ask the assistant to draw a circuit diagram.As long as you walk in one direction, and when you encounter a fork in the road, mark exactly which fork to go to, and you can arrive smoothly.

As soon as the horses were ready, without further delay, Meng Yan and Chongyi set out on the road immediately.

For a distance of one hundred miles, it would take half a day for the two of them to run non-stop.

It was dusk when we reached the fields near the plagued town.

The setting sun elongates the light and shadow, and there is not a ray of human smoke along the way, which looks very desolate.

Looking up, under the setting sun where the town stands, it should have been a quiet town, but now it has a gloomy and dead atmosphere, like a huge cold tomb.

The two rode towards the city gate, but before they reached the city gate, suddenly a group of people rushed out from the woods on both sides of the road and surrounded them.

Chongyi immediately drew his sword to face each other.

The opponents also drew their swords one after another.

When I didn't see it clearly, at first I thought it was a bandit blocking the road and robbing here, but after thinking about it, the town is full of people waiting to die, which bandit would block the road and rob here if he doesn't have eyes?

Then I took a closer look and saw that they were wearing soldier's armor, but because of the hot weather, and they didn't know how long they had been guarding here, the armor must be uncomfortable to wear, so the armor on each of them They were not dressed neatly, and they were being torn here and there. Some even took off their armor and sleeves to expose their arms, which made them cooler.

Before Meng Yan and Chongyi could open their mouths, the other party spoke first, with a rough voice, and said angrily: "Where did you come from that lifeless thing! Haven't you heard that there is a plague in this city, and you are rushing to die here! Come on!" roll!"

Chongyi looked at them, and said coldly: "Where did the miscellaneous ruffians come from? Could it be that they robbed officers and soldiers of their outfits and treated themselves as officials?"

"There's so much nonsense, there's no way out, I tell you two to get out, just get out of here obediently!"

Chongyi said: "It's best to keep the dog's mouth clean."

"Who are you talking about?"

"Barking so fiercely, barking as soon as you open your mouth, barking. The dogs in the village are not as good at barking as you are. Today we insisted on entering the city gate, and we didn't tell you to die. Get out of here."

These bastards got a little angry, and said: "You bitch, you are quite capable of scolding. Originally, we don't beat up women, but don't bully others too much!"

The two sides refused to give in to each other, and it was almost time to start. Meng Yan said in time: "Brothers, stay here. In addition to not letting the outsiders in, you should also not let the insiders out. We are not here to die. , just to confirm the identities of the two people."

** said: "You still want to go in and find relatives? Once you go in, don't say we won't let you out."

Meng Yan said: "I'm not looking for relatives, but looking for friends. Brother, can you tell that my accent is a local?" After a pause, he said leisurely: "Similarly, from the accent of brothers, I should be from the capital Is it the little general of the Qiu family who leads you?"

As soon as these words came out, the girls were all taken aback, and asked: "Do you know Little General Qiu?"

Meng Yan said: "There have been a few encounters. The friends I came to find were him and Ming Yanjun. Mingyan Lord is my close friend. I heard that the two of them were trapped in the town, so I rushed here."

The expressions of the girls changed a few times, not knowing whether it was true or false, and said: "Who are you?"

They hang around in the big camp all year round, so it's no wonder they haven't met Meng Yan face to face.In the past, when King Wu of Yin went to Daying, Chong Xian was basically by his side, and Chong Yi didn't appear much.

That's why they don't recognize it.

Chongyi said disgustedly: "I think you have some brains. You don't care who we are. If we didn't come to rescue them, why would we drive all the way to this plague town? It's a broken town, who cares about it? Come on!"
