"Doctor Zhang is here." At the gate of Tuwa Fort, a Northern Man soldier on patrol nodded to Zhang Xinpeng and began to search his body and the items he had brought.

The reason why these northern barbarian soldiers were so polite to Zhang Xinpeng was because Zhang Xinpeng had treated them and their families many times over the years. Zhang Xinpeng's medical skills were very good and his fees were not very high, so many people remembered his kindness.

After the Northern Barbarian soldiers routinely searched everything on Zhang Xinpeng, they let him into Tuwa Fort. However, Zhang Xinpeng did not have many other items on him, just some medicinal materials. They were already used to these things.

But what no one expected was that this time, not all the medicinal materials Zhang Xinpeng brought into Tuwabao were used to treat diseases, and some of them could actually make people sick.

These medicinal materials were sent to Zhang Xinpeng by the two mysterious people yesterday. Zhang Xinpeng has been a doctor for many years, so of course he knows the uses of these medicinal materials.

Zhang Xinpeng also secretly admired in his heart that the person who dispensed the medicine was really smart, because this could cause a large number of people to fall ill. It looked very serious, but in fact it was not serious, which is why he was willing to help these people.

After entering Tuwa Fort, the inside was not so strict. Zhang Xinpeng felt much freer. He deliberately tore a small hole in the paper bag containing the medicinal powder. As he walked, the medicinal powder fell out of the paper bag and scattered on the ground.

On the road to the fort.

As usual, he checked the physical condition of some people in the fort, prescribed some medicines to a few sick people, and told them the taboos when taking medicines. All this was no different from usual, and no one in Tuwa Fort felt anything.

What an anomaly.

But what no one knew was that Zhang Xinpeng looked the same as usual, but in fact he was extremely nervous. It was still a cold day, and cold sweat was already oozing out from his back.

However, Zhang Xinpeng has often entered Tuwa Fort over the years, and everyone has become very familiar with him, so no one has ever doubted him, and of course no one has noticed anything unusual about him.

This time I stayed in Tuwa Fort for more than an hour. For Zhang Xinpeng, it was like a year. When it was finally time to leave, he let out a long sigh of relief when he looked at the fort gate behind him.

"I have put the things inside as you ordered. It is not up to me to decide how much effect I can have." As soon as he returned to his room, he saw that the two people who came to see him had already arrived.

Sit inside.

Zhang Xinpeng knew that the identities of these two people were not ordinary, but he didn't inquire about anything.

"You just need to do as we ask. Don't worry, we won't make things difficult for you unless it's absolutely necessary." The two people in the room breathed a sigh of relief when they heard Zhang Xinpeng's words, and called out to him again.

He asked for some comfort, and then "flyed" out from the open window without waiting for what Zhang Xinpeng was saying, leaving Zhang Xinpeng a little stunned.

In Tuwa Fort, as a middle-aged woman developed dizziness, diarrhea and low fever, the disease spread rapidly throughout Tuwa Fort. In just one day, more than 200 people living in the fort were infected.

Forty percent of the city has contracted this disease, and it is likely to continue to spread.

Although these Daning royal family have not been valued highly among the barbarians over the years, the existence of these people is not only a source of pride for the northern barbarians, but can also be used as hostages, so they are still unwilling to let anything happen to them.

.

Of course, the Northern Barbarian officials could not let the epidemic spread in Tuwa Fort. They sent a large number of medical officers, but they did not find out the cause of the disease, and even some medical officers were infected.

Finally, the Northern Barbarian Palace came to the conclusion that this was a sudden infectious disease. If not treated in time, it might spread throughout the Northern Barbarian Palace. It would be a big deal there.

The Northern Barbarian King Heihan Naji was a great leader of his generation, but when he encountered such a thing, he could not sit still. He immediately sent an order to the entire royal city and summoned all the doctors in the city to study the treatment of the disease.

Soon, almost all the doctors in Lingxing City, whether they were stationed for a long time or temporarily passing through, were gathered together.

After a simple medical skill test was conducted to determine the identity of these doctors, they were all allowed to enter Tuwa Fort, where they were allowed to stay and devote themselves to studying how to treat this sudden disease.

What all the doctors don't know is that the palace has already made a decision. In order to avoid the spread of the disease, if the disease is not completely controlled, all people will stay in the castle forever. The palace even asked people to prepare a large amount of firewood.

, once it reaches the point of being uncontrollable, the entire Tuwa Fort and the people in the fort will be burned clean by a fire.

It was under such circumstances that Ye Ying entered Tuwa Fort. His identity as a businessman who mainly focused on medicinal materials when he went to the Northern Barbarians this time, and it was normal for him to have some medical skills, so he was not suspected by the Northern Barbarians.

The doctors who entered the fort were each assigned one or two patients and asked them to treat them separately. Because the disease was so strange and so violent, they had to resort to random treatments to see who would be treated.

The treatment method is the most effective.

Since the disease came very strangely this time, no one could determine the cause, so after entering the fort, the supervision of these doctors was very loose. They could move around the fort at will, which made it easier for them to find this kind of disease.

The cause of the epidemic.

Walking around the fort, I found that it was more like a farm. All the people were dressed simply. Some people were carrying buckets of water with wooden buckets, and some people were using hoes to remove the soil from the field.

Looking at everyone sweating profusely, it is impossible to connect them with the royal family members without knowing their identities in advance.

The people here chose to turn a blind eye to the arrival of Ye Ying, an "outsider". They were still busy with their work, as if everything else had nothing to do with them.

Ye Ying quietly watched these "farmers" coming and going in the fort. Although he didn't know any of them, Ye Ying knew that most of the people here were related to him by blood. The younger ones might be his brothers and sisters.

, the older ones may be his uncles. If they were in Daning, they should all be nobles with high status.

Ye Ying once heard someone say that when they were first imprisoned here, they thought about escaping, but after they were captured, they were severely punished without exception. Even some people who had no idea of ​​​​escape were also punished.

implicated.

Of course, there are also lucky people. It is said that one of the younger brothers of Emperor Liu Heng, the prince of Daning, once successfully escaped from the Northern Barbarians and returned to Daning.

However, the prince, who thought he had regained his freedom, found out when he returned to Jinling that he had just entered another, more severe prison from one prison. After returning to Jinling, the prince was placed under house arrest. From then on, he never

No one has seen him.

The northern barbarians deliberately spread the news about this matter, and the royal family in Tuwa Fort finally knew that the Kang Wang Liu Gou who had ascended the throne in Jinling City did not want them to go back at all in order to secure his position.

Over time, these royal children settled down in Tuwabao with peace of mind, and even got married and had children here. Living such a hopeless life year after year, all the energy of the year had been completely wiped away.

The poison in the Tuwa Fort was prepared by Ye Ying. He specially asked Qi Jiao and Shan Fu to give it to the doctor Zhang Xinpeng, who spread it in the fort. The poison looked very dangerous, but in fact it did not cause much harm.

After entering the fort, Ye Ying did not immediately sprinkle the antidote to remove the poison, because he still needed to stay in the fort for a while.

At the fourth watch, it is the darkest time of the night and the time when everyone sleeps the deepest in the day. No one noticed that a black shadow suddenly jumped out of the house. Outside the house, there were several Northern Barbarian soldiers.

They were patrolling, but they were unable to find this black shadow.

The speed of this black shadow was very fast. As soon as he left the house, he quickly ran up to the roof, and under the cover of the night, headed towards an artificial earth hill behind Tuwa Fort.

The patrolling soldiers were very serious. They carefully checked every corner of the fort. However, these patrolling northern barbarian soldiers never dreamed that someone was flying over their heads.

It didn't take long for the black shadow to reach the earth hill and stop among the tombs built on the earth hill.

This black shadow was Ye Ying who had finally managed to sneak into Tuwea Fort. Tuwea Fort was not that big. It didn’t take him long to find out the location of the cemetery. Taking advantage of the silence of the night and everyone falling asleep,

He came here quietly.

There are many tombstones neatly erected in this cemetery, but they are still easy to distinguish. Judging from the size and position of the tombstones, the high place in the center of the cemetery must be the tombs of two emperors and important members of the royal family.

Although it was dark, Ye Ying, who had good eyesight, quickly found the tombs of his grandfather Liu Ji and father Liu Huan. Although he did not have much affection for these two incompetent emperors, they were his relatives after all, so Ye Ying still walked over.

, and kowtowed a few times in front of their graves.

Catching the faint starlight, Ye Ying finally found the names of Empress Daning Zhu Xian on a tombstone, and his tears suddenly flowed out. This great woman, in order to save her child, endured the humiliation and endured the heavy burden, and finally died in her infancy.

After Ye Ying was entrusted to Ye Shuai, the fierce eagle, she chose to commit suicide.

It is said that Queen Zhu's behavior at that time not only made the people of Daning sigh with emotion, but also the Northern Barbarians who were hostile countries were moved. They gave Zhu Lian a grand burial. Even Heihan Naji, the king of the Northern Barbarians, personally

turn up.

"Mom, my child is unfilial. I have only come to visit you after so many years, and my child is kowtowing to you." Since he did not dare to light incense candles, Ye Ying had to find a few tree sticks from the side, put them in front of his mother's face in front of the incense candles, and finished kowtowing.

After a few seconds, he knelt quietly in front of the tomb, tears falling on the ground beside him along his cheeks.

Time passed little by little, and Ye Ying suddenly woke up from his immersion. A lot of time had passed, and he knew it was time for him to leave. If he delayed for too long, he would be found out, and he would be in trouble in the inn.
