Chapter 2076 strict investigation
As soon as he said this, everyone else looked at him.
He happened to be standing by the window, so he unconsciously looked in the direction of Nanxu Kingdom and explained, "On the way back, I met a few people from Nanxu Kingdom. I heard them say that Nanxu Kingdom seemed to be infested with insects.
It’s quite serious.”
"Insect plague?"
Feng Qinghua's tone was full of astonishment.
Then she asked strangely, "If it's a plague of insects, why are they looking for us?"
It stands to reason that the insect plague is not difficult to control, but it is a bit troublesome to manage, but she and Zhan Beixiao can't help much.
Thinking about the letters that came one after another, Zhan Beixiao didn't look good, "I'm afraid it's not a simple insect plague."
Otherwise, Wen Bai would not have lost control in a panic.
Mr. Qingling stared quietly for a moment, and then said under the gazes of Feng Qinghua and Zhan Beixiao, "Indeed, those common people couldn't see it, but from their description, the insect plague did not spread gradually, but broke out suddenly.
The entire people of Nanxu are caught off guard. The most important thing is that people bitten by bugs will behave out of control and do some abnormal and inexplicable things."
So strange?
Feng Qinghua frowned and rubbed her fingers unconsciously.
This is her unique habit when thinking about things. Because she is out of control, she appears anxious.
"This kind of insect... sounds like I've seen it somewhere before." Lian Jiang muttered suddenly.
It was this sentence that made Feng Qinghua's expression change suddenly.
She looked at Mr. Qingling in horror, and Mr. Qingling also happened to look at her.
The two people's eyes collided, and they both saw uneasy emotions in each other's eyes.
Mr. Qingling nodded and said in a deep voice, "It's just as you guessed. My first reaction after hearing this was that it was a poisonous insect."
"No wonder."
Lian Jiang also suddenly realized, and Zhan Beixiao also remembered something because of his words, "Changsun Wujue seems to be good at poison."
When they mentioned Gu, their first reaction was Changsun Wujue.
"But for the current Changsun Wujue, it is not easy to cast poison on such a large scale."
It wasn't just Feng Qinghua who had this idea, Lian Jiang also had this idea. He also played a role when Changsun Wujue was imprisoned.
Young Master Qingling also said, "Nanxu Palace is not a small alley, and anyone can come and go freely. Moreover, there is Wen Bai here, so it is basically impossible to make such a big noise under his nose.
"
They first speculated and then denied it themselves.
Zhan Beixiao was silent for a long time, but still felt that he should go to Nanxu to find out in person.
With the addition of Mr. Qingling, the party of four became a party of five.
Feng Qinghua suggested, "With so many people in our group, isn't the target too big? How about we dress up as a caravan, a mixed bag of fish and dragons, so it's easier to sneak in."
Both Zhan Beixiao and Lian Jiang agreed with her suggestions.
For safety reasons, Mr. Qingling also agreed, "There happens to be a caravan from the First Trading Company along the way, so we will follow them so we won't attract anyone's attention."
"Okay, then I'll trouble Mr. Qingling." Feng Qinghua said with a smile.
Compared to the last time when she and Zhan Beixiao entered Beiliang alone, this time they had helpers behind them. Feng Qinghua felt that even if the road ahead was dangerous, they could work together to overcome it.
…
Nanxu and Beiliang were in opposite directions. They turned southwest from Fengchao Road and approached Nanxu. The temperature gradually rose. They mingled with the caravan and put on light clothes.
Little Putao was very well-behaved along the way, except when he saw interesting things along the way, he would become particularly excited.
When the caravan stopped to rest, he dragged Lian Jiangfei to catch butterflies.
Lian Jiang held him in one hand and held a bamboo pole in the other, with a dense net on the top.
"Is it okay if I don't go?" Lian Jiang asked bitterly.
Hearing this, Feng Qinghua laughed rudely.
She bet that if Little Putao wasn't still staring at him, he would have broken the bamboo pole in his hand into several pieces and thrown it far away.
Zhan Beixiao laughed the loudest. Not only that, he also pointed to a place with a lot of butterflies and said to Lian Jiang, "Go quickly, Little Putao likes it very much."
I don’t know whether this “like” refers to people or butterflies.
Lian Jiang wanted to fight for it again, but Xiao Putao was very interested and just grabbed him and ran over.
Mr. Qingling was sitting with the others, looking over there, looking natural, relaxed and comfortable.
No matter how reluctant Lian Jiang was, she couldn't bear to refuse Little Putao and would still accidentally hurt Little Putao.
He was 100% dedicated to Little Putao.
When the caravan was about to set off, Feng Qinghua called them back.
At that time, the excitement on Little Putao's face had not completely faded away, but Lian Jiang's face became increasingly ugly.
Since then, he has never touched the bamboo pole used to catch butterflies.
Following the caravan would make the journey much faster. When they approached the border of Nanxu, they vaguely noticed something was wrong.
As long as there are no major domestic events and no border incursions, people on both sides will have small gatherings for each other. Because the sky is high and the emperor is far away, there is no one to control it, which makes it easier for the people of the two countries to communicate.
When they came here, the Nanxu border was still very lively, but now it is closed. Even from a distance, you can feel the strong desolate atmosphere in the town.
It is obviously the season of spring and flowers are blooming, but they have to guess what happened to this border town to become what it is now.
The caravan is still moving forward. The leader of the caravan is named Chu. He is young, but he has been running with the caravan for five or six years.
He came from the front, walked up to Young Master Qing Ling, and said respectfully, "Sir, it seems that it is not easy to enter this time. There is a checkpoint in front, and there are officers and soldiers strictly checking."
He didn't dare to ask more questions, but he vaguely knew that something happened to Nanxu, and that his young master and these people were going to investigate.
Feng Qinghua stood up and looked at the crowded crowd not far ahead, with no expression on her face.
Then Lian Jiang also came back from inquiring about the news, and it was exactly what Xiao Chu said.
Seeing that they were almost there, Zhan Beixiao gently picked up Little Putao and said, "Let's go, don't let anyone see the flaw."
Mr. Qingling said nothing, only looked at Xiao Chu.
Xiao Chu nodded immediately, "Understood."
He ran back to the front and led the caravan forward.
When they reached the checkpoint, they were stopped.
The officers and soldiers asked some questions. Feng Qinghua and the others could not hear clearly from behind, but judging from the expressions of the officers and soldiers, Xiao Chu should have answered well.
But even so, they were still stopped.
After a while, Xiao Chu returned to Master Qingling again and said in frustration, "They said no one is allowed to enter the city these days, and the caravan will have to wait a few days before it can pass."
Mr. Qingling frowned slightly, but there was no trace of worry between his brows.
He took off a jade buckle from his waist and handed it to Xiao Chu, "Go and tell them that you are a caravan from the First Trading Company, and they will let you go."
