Chapter 211 Isn’t this a scam?
After seeing that Miss Xu was fine, Lin Xiaoman left the medicine behind, "I'll keep these two bottles of medicine for you. Feed it three times a day. If the fever is severe, just drink a small spoonful of the bottle to reduce fever. Don't take it these days.
When taking a shower, if you sweat too much, you can change your underwear frequently and wipe it with a hot towel."
The maid responded one by one and thanked her profusely.
When leaving, Lin Xiaoman turned around and caught a glimpse of the reluctance in Miss Xu's dull eyes, and didn't understand why she was reluctant to give up.
When they returned to the inn, Lu Jin was discussing their departure with Qing Shu and others.
Most of the plague in the city has been eliminated. No one in their group got sick because they drank the isatis root granules given by Lin Xiaoman.
As for those who escaped from the city earlier, Lu Jin also planned to have Lin Xiaoman take the extra medicine prepared and distribute it elsewhere to prevent the plague from spreading elsewhere.
It’s just that after so many days, we no longer know how many people have been infected, so we have to do it as soon as possible.
After getting up early the next day, Lin Xiaoman and his party packed up and prepared to leave Jiyuan County, but were stopped when they arrived at the city gate.
The deputy general guarding the city only said: "No one is allowed to leave Jiyuan County without the emperor's order."
"Why aren't you allowed to leave?"
"The plague is spreading in the city. For the sake of the people outside the city, no one is allowed to leave."
Qingshu, who was negotiating with him, said angrily: "Didn't you see that the disease in the city has been brought under control?"
The lieutenant general just shook his head, "I didn't see it!"
"Do you know who our master is?"
"No matter who you are, the King of Heaven is here. If you can't leave, you can't leave."
Qingshu was so angry that he wanted to hit someone, but Lu Jin stopped him. Lu Jin took a deep look at the deputy general and ordered him to go back to the inn.
Sitting in the yard behind the inn this time, Lu Jin and his confidants were silent. Lin Xiaoman and Lin Erhu looked at this and that, and suddenly felt that the matter seemed serious.
In the end, Qingshu couldn't hold back, "Master, what's going on in the city, do the defenders know? I think the people in the city are infected with the plague. The officers and soldiers who defended the city didn't set up barriers outside the city to stop people, but they entered through us.
They had no good intentions when the city was closed after the city was closed. It could be that they wanted us to be trapped in the city, contract the plague, and die silently. But we didn't expect that not only did we not catch the plague, but we also saved the entire city. This is
Your plan failed and you just want to trap us here forever?"
Lu Jin sneered, "Maybe they don't just want to trap us here forever."
Qingshu and others were slightly startled, and instantly understood the meaning of Lu Jin's words: What will be the final outcome of a city infected by the plague, filled with hopeless people?
From ancient times to the present, in order to take care of the so-called overall situation, rulers have no choice but to burn the city.
What's more, this place is too close to the capital. In order to save the capital, as long as the epidemic situation in the city is exaggerated, I believe there will be an order to burn the city soon.
Lin Xiaoman took a breath, this is someone who wants their lives!
She has done great things for the country and the people in the past few years, so how come she still causes people to want her life?
If it offends someone, it probably means finding a large number of weapons hidden in the cave. Could it be that the masterminds behind the scenes are those rebel masters?
The more he thought about it, the more likely this was. Lin Xiaoman looked at Lu Jin worriedly. There were thousands of soldiers and horses surrounding the city gate. It was really hard for them to fly.
Lu Jin asked everyone to retreat and always pay attention to whether there was any movement outside.
When everyone left, Lu Jin took Lin Xiaoman's hand and said: "Xiaoman, I am not confident that I can survive this time smoothly. If it comes to a last resort... you just leave with Erhu."
Lin Xiaoman almost cried. Why did she leave with Erhu? Did she go there through the closet?
If those people set fire to the city, no matter how magical the wardrobe is, they will not be able to escape. If they go there, they will probably never come back.
What's more, can she watch Lu Jin and the others die?
But until now, she has no better way. At most, when the time comes, she will try her best to bring Lu Jin with her. As for the others, Lin Xiaoman will decide based on the situation.
Back in the room, Lin Xiaoman went over there, took out his mobile phone and posted a post on the Internet, asking how he could escape from a city trapped in a city in ancient times while avoiding the officers and soldiers.
There were replies soon, and Lin Xiaoman glanced at them. Some talked about making homemade hot air balloons, some talked about climbing walls, and some talked about digging holes... Lin Xiaoman looked around, but none of them were reliable.
p>
Although it is feasible to dig a hole, I am afraid that time is insufficient and the hot air balloon may be shot down before it takes off.
The most important thing is that they might be able to escape, but what about her wardrobe? It’s hard to say whether they can get it back in the future.
Although compared with life, the wardrobe can only be abandoned as a last resort, but as long as there is a chance, she still wants to fight for the wardrobe again.
However, as long as they escaped, the officers and soldiers guarding the city would not dare to set fire to the city again, and it would be the same if they came back to look for the wardrobe later.
Well, after much deliberation, the two methods of blowing up city walls and digging holes are the most feasible.
It just so happened that she learned how to make gunpowder a while ago, and also learned how to make bombs with her teacher. She learned it as a hobby at the time, and she might be able to use it now.
There was a knock on the door, Lin Xiaoman stood up and opened the door, and Lu Jin came in from the outside with a stern expression.
"Xiao Man, I plan to let Qingshu take a few people to sneak out of the city at night to bring in reinforcements. Do you have any good cover methods?"
Lin Xiaoman's mouth opened slightly in shock, "Why do you want to break in? What if you are discovered?"
Lu Jin shook his head, "There is no better way. I can only try to make some noise to cover for them."
Lin Xiaoman thought to himself: Isn’t this what we thought of together?
Fireworks are a good thing. Not only can they provide cover, but they can also take the opportunity to mix bombs inside. If the city wall is really blown open, the soldiers guarding the city may not even notice it if they only watch the fireworks.
At that time, under the cover of the fireworks, Qingshu and the others would not be too noticeable if they secretly climbed up the city wall.
If they can directly blast a hole in the city wall, it is not impossible for them to break out directly.
Lin Xiaoman said: "I'll go get some fireworks. Get more and let people set them off in the city at night. It should be able to provide them with cover. If a hole is blown out of the city wall, we can still take advantage of the chaos and get out of the city."<
/p>
Lu Jin smiled happily when he heard this, "Well, even if we can't take advantage of the chaos to leave the city, the sound of the fireworks can attract people from outside the city to come and inquire about the situation in the city, so it's feasible."
After discussing it, Lu Jin went to arrange manpower, while Lin Xiaoman began to think about how to buy fireworks there.
In addition to firecrackers, you also need to buy a large number of large fireworks. Even if you really have to use them, these fireworks may also be used as weapons.
It’s just that you have to buy a large amount, so you can’t be as casual as when you bought medicine before. This time you have to find a safe location to use as the entrance.
