Ten Miles of Red Makeup: The Legend of Ming Yu

Chapter 475
Six days later, the plague was really brought under control.

The daily death toll decreased day by day, and on the seventh day, no one died overnight.

The refugees who were terminally ill before have also recovered. Those who were strong and healthy before the illness are already alive and well, and those who are usually weak and mentally ill have no worries about their lives. The next step is to rely on recuperation .

Xi'er suggested that Ming concubine prepare a high-quality and cheap pill for these common people to take.

Ming concubine knocked her on the head and said, "For them, eating a full meal is the greatest tonic. Usually, they are reluctant to eat a meal of meat. Let them spend money on tonics. You can't figure it out."

Xi'er rubbed her head, thinking that Shi Zifei was right.

For the next two days, things got better and better for the refugees.

Mingyu was completely relieved.

The magistrate of Licheng also breathed a sigh of relief, and went to the imperial court to ask for credit for Ming Concubine, Chu Mochen, and Zhao Yuanzheng.

Gradually, the streets of Licheng became lively.

After escaping, the people in Licheng were extraordinarily happy, knowing that the one who saved them was Prince Zhennan's concubine, they all called her a miracle doctor behind their backs.

Concubine Ming smiled lightly at the address, but Xi'er and Xueyan were overjoyed, this title could be afforded by their concubines.

On this day, after dinner, Zhao Yuanzheng said, "The plague in Licheng is over, when is the son and the concubine planning to leave for Beijing?"

Although Licheng is prosperous, it is still far behind Kyoto, and it was only destroyed by floods. There is nothing interesting in the vicinity, and they have been staying in Licheng.

Ming concubine thought for a while and said, "We plan to leave tomorrow. Although the plague in Licheng is over, we are still a little worried. Zhao Yuan is staying for three or five days longer to ensure safety."

Zhao Yuanzheng nodded, "The Imperial Concubine is considerate, so I will stay for a few more days."

The next day, after breakfast, Ming and the others took a carriage back to Beijing.

He came in a hurry, and left in a leisurely manner. No one wanted to suffer from the bumps again. Ming concubine regarded herself as a tourist. The ancient clothing, food, housing and transportation were not as good as modern ones, but there was one thing. It is incomparable to modern times, that is, the mountains and rivers are beautiful, and even the air is full of sweetness.

The people in Licheng sent them out of the city, and some knelt down and kowtowed to thank them.

Ming concubine glanced at it for a few times, feeling a little bit, and hoped that they could live a good life and the world would be peaceful.

Xi'er and Xueyan waved to the refugees.

The carriage left Licheng and traveled farther and farther.

After having lunch at the post station, the carriage continued on its way. An hour and a half later, Ming concubine's eyelids began to twitch.

She panicked and said, "Let Zhao Feng and the others be careful."

Chu Mochen lifted the curtain of the car and reminded Zhao Feng and Zhao Xing to be on alert. The terrain around here was convenient for ambushes.

After walking forward for half a cup of tea, a huge boulder rolled down from the mountain, blocking their way forward.

Arrows rained down.

What's going on outside, I don't know.

All she knew was that the arrow shot through the carriage, and if Chu Mochen hadn't pushed her head down in time, she would have been shot dead.

Not just ordinary arrows, people also set fire.

Put kerosene in a bamboo tube, shoot it through with an arrow, fall on the road, and then the arrow is ignited with fire.

The carriage was on fire.

Chu Mochen shattered the carriage with one palm, and jumped out with Ming concubine in his arms.

Two hidden guards were protecting the concubine, Chu Mochen drew out the soft sword at his waist, and shot down the arrows.

Soon, Mingyu discovered that those arrows were all aimed at Chu Mochen, but she was the one who was shot and killed by no one.

This posture was obviously aimed at Chu Mochen.

This position is not good for them. Fortunately, the hidden guards have high martial arts, and the guards are not good at martial arts, but they are more than enough to deal with archery.

After all, the number of arrows was limited, so the dark guard jumped up and rushed to kill those who shot the arrows.

Those people are good at shooting arrows and average in martial arts.

In less than a quarter of an hour, they retreated.

The hidden guards and guards were not injured much, but the horse was injured a lot, and there were big stones blocking the way, so the carriage could not move forward.

Several hidden guards couldn't lift the big stone, looked at Chu Mochen and said, "Can't lift it."

Ming Yu said, "If you can't lift it, the others can't go."

"What should we do now?" Xi'er asked with a pale face.

There were traces of arrows on her face. Just now, if Xue Yan hadn't pulled her, she would have died.

Chu Mochen had no choice.

Ming Yu said, "Burning the stone with fire and then pouring cold water on it will make the stone much weaker. At this time, if you hit it with a stone, it may be broken."

Even if it only needs to be divided in half, the dark guard can lift the stone aside.

Zhao Feng looked at Chu Mochen, he doubted that what Ming concubine said would work, Chu Mochen said, "Do it."

The dark guards found kerosene and firewood from the assassins' ambush on both sides.

Set up the firewood, then pour kerosene on it, burn the stones with a big fire, and the dark guard goes to the mountain to carry spring water.

When the burned stone turns red, pour water on it.

The sky was filled with dust, and the sound of barking made one's scalp tingle.

Zhao Feng picked up half of the boulder and threw it towards the boulder.

Unexpectedly, the boulder shattered.

Continue to pour water, wait until the stone is no longer hot, and then lift it aside. The carriage was damaged, and Ming concubine took a 360-degree fully open carriage to move forward.

Very cool.

No, it was very windy.

The carriage ran a little faster, and the wind seemed to blow across the cheeks.

Half an hour later, the carriage stopped in front of the post station.

The steward of the post station was stunned to see their distressed appearance.

If I hadn't seen it before, and knew that this was the prince and concubine of Zhennan, I wouldn't have believed that they would be in such a mess if they were killed.

I came when I couldn't see my fingers that day, and I came early today, but...

The manager of the post station and the servants didn't dare to look any further, so they hurriedly invited them into the post station, prepared a first-class room, and brought hot water.

It was probably because of an accident in the carriage last time, which frightened the concubine into a fool. In addition, there were many people with her this time, so she was really not that scared.

You couldn't kill them, and you couldn't force them to go back the way they came, so you probably won't do it again, right?

Minnie thinks well.

But the previous boulders and kerosene were just appetizers, and the real dishes were at the station.

the next morning.

Ming Concubine and the others had breakfast downstairs. The inn entertained only officials and their families, and the food was pretty good.

Ming concubine and Chu Mochen sat at a table, and the secret guards sat at a table of eight, a total of six tables.

The porridge is rich, the egg dumplings are light and tangy, and the picture scrolls and Linglong buns are all exquisite.

Ming concubine enjoys eating.

Just ate half full.

There was a bang, and there was the sound of a bowl smashing on the ground.

Minnie was startled.

When Chu Mochen turned his head, he saw the hidden guards and guards fell on the table one after another, as well as Xi'er and Xueyan.

With the steamed stuffed bun still in her mouth, Xi'er fainted on the table.

Ming concubine and Chu Mochen stood up together.

Just the two of them are fine.

Someone came down from upstairs, and the sound of footsteps was especially clear in the quiet station.

The man clapped his hands and said with a smile, "I know that the concubine Shizi has superb medical skills, so you didn't use sweat medicine on this table of food, didn't you expect it?"
