Chapter 185 Epidemic

 "In the evening...I think I will go out again."

Hearing what Meiyou said, Meibei summoned up the courage to ask, "Then can I come along?"

"Aren't you afraid of being discovered by patrols?"

"Follow you closer. If you leave, I will leave. If you stop, I will stop. If you are not afraid, then I will definitely not be afraid!"

Mayberry raised her hands and swore.

"You didn't even ask me why I went out."

"You went out just to inquire about news...are you looking for Wang Beigu?"

Listening to Mei Bei's words, Mei You couldn't help but smile.

Mei Berry heard Mei You's chuckle and understood that she agreed.

·

I don't know if Mei Qiang and the others came just by chance, or if Wang Beigu really stayed up at night and was plotting something.

Why were they so late and were "caught" just after climbing over the wall?

For Wang Beigu and the others, it was quite novel to watch two young ladies climb over the wall and come in in the middle of the night.

"Good evening everyone~"

Being surrounded by a group of people headed by Wang Beigu, staring at each other with big eyes. Just as an atmosphere of embarrassment filled the air between them, Mei Berry took the lead in raising her hand to say hello.

Everyone: "..."

"It's us, Mei San and Mei Er~ We are all our own people! What? Can't we recognize each other if we put on the veil?"

Mei Bei turned to look at Mei You. At least, Mei Bei thought she recognized Mei You just based on the upper half of her face.

As for Wang Beigu and the others, Mei Mei had reason to believe: "You don't regard us as your own, so you won't know each other."

Wang Bei looked at everyone:?

"Actually, it was because we recognized you that we didn't take action."

Meiberry looked at Lin Shoucai who was speaking, and saw that he actually held a short knife in his hand. Her eyes turned to the others. Seeing that the others had weapons in their hands, Meiberry immediately became as quiet as a chicken.

What kind of conspiracy scene had she run into, where she climbed over a wall and was held at knifepoint by so many people?

"Go in and talk."

Wang Beigu glanced at everyone, motioned for them to disperse, and then led Mei Bei and the others toward the study in the yard.

As they walked, Meiberry explained: "Actually, we just want to ask what's going on in the city now. We've been locked up at home and not allowed to move around at will for almost a month..."

"A plague broke out in Yunzhou."

"What?"

Before they even finished speaking, Mei Bei and Mei You stopped immediately after hearing the news.

The two of them stared at Wang Beigu's back, almost making holes in each other's backs.

Wang Beigu stopped and turned to look at Mei Bei and the others: "Do you want to leave here?"

"Hmm." This time it was Mei who spoke first, "So, the plague you mentioned...has it reached Fucheng?"

Obviously, this question does not require Wang Beigu to answer at all.

She should have understood this because of the recent measures to close the city.

Wang Beigu nodded, then turned around and opened the door to the study, taking Mei Bei and Mei You in to continue talking.

Behind him, Shopkeeper Lin and his group did not follow.

There were only three of them left in the room.

"Many refugees have gathered outside the city. On Qingyun Road and outside the pier at the foot of the mountain, there are refugees everywhere. Some are sick and some are not. If this continues, sooner or later those who are not sick will become sick."

"The counties below have not organized disaster relief. Have they opened warehouses to release grain? How come there are so many refugees coming, and there is also a plague..."

Speaking of Plague Mayberry, I suddenly realized that the check-in reward previously given by the system was due to the vaccine.

She had this suspicion from the beginning, but now that it was confirmed, she didn't know what it felt like.

Then Meiberry couldn't help but worry about Meiyou's family.

The Meiyu family does not have vaccines.

Even with the protagonist's halo, Mayberry is a little worried.

"Even if the people below want to organize disaster relief, no matter whether it is manpower or material resources, it will be a drop in the bucket. Many disaster-stricken county official warehouses were directly destroyed in the floods.

After the flood is over, reorganize manpower arrangements...not all officials have these abilities."

When their parents and officials in their own county could no longer rely on them, these ordinary people had no choice but to flee all the way and hope that the officials in the capital would find a solution.

It's a pity that until now, Mei Qi and the others don't know where the new governor is dead or alive.

"Then the imperial court...didn't His Majesty issue an edict?"

Mei You's face is getting uglier and uglier. She can't leave here even if she wants to!

There is a plague outside. If she goes out directly, apart from the lack of supplies, she is likely to face the risk of infection.

The more they thought about it, the more they thought it was because the people above were incompetent!

"Half a month ago, an earth dragon turned over occurred in Zhongzhou. The Imperial Capital probably had too much to take care of itself, and that person... looks like it won't be able to survive."

Mei Mei and Mei You were stunned at this big news.

There was an earthquake in Zhongzhou.

No wonder no one cares about Yunzhou anymore.

Moreover, listening to this tone, the emperor is about to die?

So Mei Pei suddenly blurted out: "How many sons does your Majesty have? Is there a prince?"

When she asked, Wang Beigu's scrutinizing gaze immediately fell on Mei Berry.

"The head of an ordinary family is gone, and the sons still have to argue about the division of family property. It's okay for us to care about this."

Mei You followed up what Mei Berry said next.

And after listening to Mayberry's words, she felt that she really needed to pay attention to this.

"Your Majesty currently has no legitimate son. He has seven sons in total. The eldest son died young, so there are only six at present."

"Oh~ there is no direct descendant."

Meiberry's tone was full of yin and yang, and she curled her lips as soon as she finished speaking.

Then she said again: "Isn't his favorite son the same as the son who is most capable or has the best reputation among the people?"

Wang Beigu laughed dumbly.

Mayberry really hit the mark.

Seeing his reaction, Meiberry muttered in her heart: Good guy! That's really full of BUFFs.

If the emperor had not made a will before kicking his legs, Mei Berry could already imagine how his sons would have their heads broken.

"Oh~ the topic has gone too far."

However, Mei Bei came back to her senses and realized that they seemed to be just eating carrots and not worrying. How could she have the time to care about the life and death of the most powerful person now.

Anyway, right now, that person doesn’t care whether he’s alive or dead in Yunzhou. No wonder the heroine in the original book runs away.

For now, they have to focus on themselves.

"Aren't you... originally planning to leave the city? What should you do now?"

Mei Bei remembered that Wang Beigu and the others were leaving, and even Mei You wanted to come over to inquire about the situation outside and see if there were any other ways to get down the mountain.

"Originally we wanted to, but now the city is sealed off and there are all the refugees outside.

Even if there is a secret passage out of the city, it is extremely risky for us to leave the city and directly face the refugees and the diseases they carry."

Wang Beigu and the others were also thinking about how to leave the city today. It would be best to leave the customs directly. However, before the research results were available, Mei Bei and the others came running over.

"But if we don't leave the city, the food and grass in the city won't last long. People outside the city are resentful, and the people inside the city are also complaining. Maybe one day the city will suddenly be destroyed..."

Mei Bei couldn't even imagine what it would be like for people outside to attack Fucheng with a life-or-death mentality.

If they found that even if they rushed into the city, it was completely different from what they imagined, and they would have nothing to eat or drink, what kind of blow would those people receive.

The people in the city also wanted to leave the city every day, but when they rushed out, they found that there was a plague outside and they were dying of hunger for thousands of miles.

What will they think?

The battle will not end with breaking through the city gate, but the beginning of both sides' fear and madness and their degeneration...

"If you are good at it, you can climb over the cliff in the east of Fucheng and then exit directly."

What Wang Beigu said was that the nearly 100-foot cliff in the east of Fucheng was so smooth that not even a crooked-neck tree could grow on it. How could he still leave the border?

Mei Berry looked at Mei You, and Mei You directly spread her hands to express that she couldn't climb over.

That's really impossible. Who can climb a 90° bright stone wall?

No, Mei Mei and Mei You looked at Wang Beigu with resentment, and the other party couldn't help but wipe their noses with their hands to show their guilt.

They were also mentioned before, but were quickly rejected.

That thing is too hard to climb!

But when it came to exiting the customs, Meiberry remembered that there was actually a secret passage in her electronic map that led directly to the outside of the customs!

But, how should she tell this?

Mayberry: How do I create a secret passage? Waiting online, it’s so urgent!
