Knowing that now was not the time to talk about this, Xiao Zhuo restrained his thoughts.
However, he also knew that his cousin was right. In this matter, apart from confronting that person face to face and telling him that he was wrong all along, Xiao Zhuo thought that there would be a happier way to do this than to take revenge on that person.
"Cousin, if he turns a blind eye to the current situation, then this place will really fall. I can't bear it."
Xiao Zhuo is telling the truth. If he talks about his love for the people, he can say that he has a clear conscience. He tried his best but failed to save many people, so he wanted to make himself stronger. Now he has no wings.
Feng, that feeling of powerlessness still lingered in his heart and could not dissipate.
He knew that Yun Miaomiao had a way to solve the problem. Just like when he was desperate, she saved him and gave him hope of life. Later, when he thought that everyone in Ruizhou City would starve to death, it was Yun Miaomiao who saved him.
Gave myself the light of hope.
To him, Yun Miaomiao is an irreplaceable existence. This is the case now and will be the same in the future.
Yun Miaomiao pondered for a moment. There were refugees everywhere, and that person still wanted to celebrate the birthday of his new prince. He didn't care about the lives of the people at all, and he didn't expect that the current plague would make that person show kindness.
"I know what you mean."
Yun Miaomiao sighed, "As long as no one continues to enter Ruizhou City, the situation inside can be controlled. I'm afraid that someone has bad intentions and deliberately lets people go in to cause trouble."
"The meager strength of a few of us is definitely not enough, but there is one person who can." She thought of a person.
Xiao Zhuo's eyes sparkled, and he knew that Yun Miaomiao had a solution, so he quickly asked, "Who is it?"
"Xu Shaoqing from the Xu family in Jiangchuan."
Xu Shaoqing is the Xu family's favorite, and the Xu family members also have a place in front of the emperor, and their words have considerable weight.
Xu Shaoqing knew Xiao Zhuo and had gone to the same school as Xiao Zhuo. Putting aside this level, the Xu family would make a living in the Xiao family's world, so they could not avoid the royal family.
In addition, I also have a life-saving favor for Xu Shaoqing. It should not be difficult to make a deal with Xu Shaoqing with this life-saving favor at this time.
"I wrote a letter to Xu Shaoqing and asked him to appeal to the court and let him come forward. Your father will not ignore the plague. Even if he wants to sit back and ignore it, he will agree for the sake of the Xu family.
"
"Will the Xu family agree?" Xiao Zhuo was not sure.
Yun Miaomiao did not dare to say with certainty, "He owes me a favor. This favor is owed to me by Xu Shaoqing and also owed by the Xu family. You don't have to worry. I just don't know what the situation is like at the academy now. We can't stay here for a long time."
After all, outsiders are not allowed to enter or exit the academy. We eat and drink on the mountain, which is much safer than outside. I thought about it and decided that it would be better to send you back."
"What will you do, sister, if we go back?" Yun Su looked at Yun Miaomiao.
Except for the last time when Ying Feichen opened the back door for Yun Miaomiao for Xu Shaoqing, the academy did not allow outsiders to enter the academy at other times. Yun Su was worried that he and Xiao Zhuo were safe, leaving Yun Miaomiao alone outside.
into this plague.
What happened yesterday has frightened them. If they were on the mountain and knew nothing about the outside world, they would not be able to trust Yun Miaomiao at all. They would be worried about Yun Miaomiao all day long, so they might as well follow Yun Miaomiao.
Woolen cloth.
This time, Yun Su didn't want Yun Miaomiao to be separated from him again. If there was no riot, Yun Su might be relieved. However, the last riot almost killed Magistrate Zhao and Yun Miaomiao. He and Xiao Zhuo were in
After that time, they vowed not to let Yun Miaomiao leave them again.
Yun Miaomiao shook his head, "It's safe for you to go to the academy. I don't have any worries, so I can help Magistrate Zhao wholeheartedly. Magistrate Zhao cannot handle this matter alone. I have been exposed to the plague and have interacted with the Xu family. If you
Follow me, there is an eventuality that I can't take care of. Yun Su, you should know that your sister is not someone who gets hit so easily. You must always believe that your sister is a person who has the ability to protect you and will not be beaten easily.
Put yourself in danger.”
Yun Su pursed his lips and said nothing. Yun Miaomiao looked at Xiao Zhuo again, "The same goes for you. No matter what rumors you hear, nothing will happen to me. Unless you see my body, you must firmly believe that I am fine.
Do you understand?"
Xiao Zhuo and Yun Su were still young and easily believed outside rumors, especially the rumors that slandered them. Once it involved themselves, they lost their previous rationality and completely fell into the trap of others.
Xiao Zhuo and Yun Su didn't understand this before, but now that Yun Miaomiao pointed it out so bluntly, both of them looked unhappy. Yun Miaomiao didn't mean to blame, and asked the people on the side to start packing their things.
One person will go to the academy to inquire about the news first, while the others will go on their way slowly.
They walked along the official road for half a day and met a lot of people on the way, all heading towards Ruizhou City. When they saw Yun Miaomiao and the others walking in the opposite direction, they all gave them curious looks.
.
Yun Miaomiao was not sure which people had no problems, so she could only ask those around her to try their best not to come into contact with the refugees, and not to come into contact with them if they could.
On the official road, there were only a few passers-by. Suddenly, the sound of horse hooves came from a distance, and soon a group of people came towards them. Yun Miaomiao stood there, and Xiao Zhuo and Yun Su also turned their backs.
Get out of here and try to keep your presence as low as possible.
A group of people flew past, leaving behind dust that fascinated a few people's eyes. Yun Miaomiao stared at the people walking away.
Those men in black were heading towards Ruizhou, and they looked like they were coming with bad intentions.
"It's the Black Dragon Guard, specifically to investigate officials from various places. What is he going to do when he sends the Black Dragon Guard to Ruizhou at this time?"
Xiao Zhuo also looked at the direction they left with dark eyes, wondering what the purpose of this group of people was.
Yun Miaomiao's letter has been sent out for three days. It is a short distance from here to Jiangchuan. The letter reached Xu Shaoqing's hands, and then from Xu Shaoqing to the capital. She thought it must be the Xu family raising carrier pigeons that could deliver the news so quickly.
Get out.
However, according to this time, the Black Dragon Guards have already arrived in Ruizhou, so these people should not know about the Xu family's affairs, which means it has nothing to do with the plague.
If it has nothing to do with the plague, then it has something to do with the riots. Magistrate Liang is not a good person, so these people should be the imperial concubine's idea.
However, Magistrate Zhao has now closed the city gate tightly, so these people must not be able to enter.
Yun Miaomiao withdrew her gaze and said, "Let's go."
She picked up the wooden stick on the ground and continued to walk forward, "Don't pay attention to them. If they enter Ruizhou City, they have entered the plague's nest. If they want to come out safe and sound, I think it is unlikely. We
Keep walking, you should be able to reach the town tomorrow."
They used to ride horse-drawn carriages, but now that the plague is rampant, the goal of riding a horse-drawn carriage is too big, and if they take the original path, it is estimated that more sick people will go there. After all, the distance is closer, so Yun Miaomiao decided to become an official.
There were few people on the official road. In order to have a smaller target, they left the carriages where they were and walked back on foot.
Although walking would be difficult at first, the first night Yun Miaomiao started walking, she felt that her legs were no longer hers. She thought she would have to be carried on her back the next day, but she didn’t expect that after a night
After a good rest, when I got up and walked the next day, it was not as hard as I imagined, but I felt more energetic.
Now, Yun Miaomiao feels that there is no problem in being able to walk for two more days.
Several people traveled all night, rested when they were tired, and finally arrived in the town the next morning.
Different from the bustling town in the past, the current town is so quiet that it feels scary. Not only is there not a single person on the street, but it also looks a bit desolate.
Yun Miaomiao and the others looked at each other. Could it be that the small town was also affected by the plague?
But even if you meet someone, there shouldn't be no one on the street, right?
With doubts in their hearts, Yun Miaomiao and others walked to the Braised Pork House. As they thought, the door of the Braised Pork House was indeed closed.
