Just as the rebels welcomed Wang Xiaojian back to Mucheng, a plague broke out in Lianglang Pass. First, the Wolf Guard soldiers were infected, then it spread to the Wolf Guard generals, and then it spread to brothels and wine shops, so that soon the whole city was gradually infected.
The reason why the plague spread so quickly was because the two wolf cities had a large population density and developed commerce. Although the people were able to receive effective treatment after being infected, the guard general Murong Yan asked for instructions about the plague but did not control it, so that the plague quickly spread.
It spread. The biggest feature of the Saibei Plague was not its rapid onset, but its slow onset and long duration, which was conducive to its spread. In a short period of time, almost no one in the entire Lianglang Pass was spared, and everyone coughed violently.
The common people didn't pay much attention at first. Typhoid, colds and coughs often appeared every time the seasons changed. Most people just stood up and got over it. But this time everyone found that they couldn't hold on any longer, and almost everyone in the city fell ill.
During the coughing episode, even members of the Murong family were infected with the plague and kept coughing. His eldest son, who may have less resistance to the plague, actually fell ill, which attracted his attention.
Only then did Murong Yan think of Mucheng's eight anti-epidemic measures, but it was too late to implement them at this time. Fortunately, Murong Shisan persuaded his father: "It's not too late to fix the problem. It doesn't matter what I'm afraid of. What's important is this plague."
If we continue not to control it, I'm afraid these two wolf gates will collapse, and our Murong family will also be punished by the Holy Spirit for this."
Murong Yan was afraid and immediately ordered the implementation of Mucheng's eight anti-epidemic policies. However, because many people heard about the plague, they fled to the Central Plains, bringing the impact of the plague to the Central Plains. Murong Yan thought about his impeachment of Zhang Xiaowu.
He felt a little guilty in his heart, but since his own future was at stake, he did not dare to write a memorial to prove his innocence, so he just pretended to be confused.
Murong Shisan knew that his father was a good-looking man, so he could only smile bitterly, and wrote a letter to Zhang Xiaowu, asking him to beware of the overt and covert attacks in the court. It happened that Chen Guanxi was out of the country, so Murong Shisan gave the letter to Chen Guanxi and asked him to
Bring it to Zhang Xiaowu.
A few days later, Chen Guanxi escorted 50,000 taels of silver back to Mucheng. He was first isolated. He was still wondering why he was detained as soon as he entered the city.
Zhang Xiaowu soon learned of the plague situation in Lianglang Pass, and he sneered and said to the people around him: "Old Murong deserves to die. The two wolves have been burdened by him!"
Wu Song said: "The Two Wolf Pass is more important than Wooden City. If something happens to the Two Wolf Pass, the Central Plains will be in danger."
Zhang Xiaowu said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, as long as I, the Ghost Guard of Saibei, are here, I will definitely not be afraid of the invasion of barbarians."
The generals believed this and learned that the plague was rampant in Two Wolf City. They secretly thought that the general had to use the right method, otherwise Mucheng would end up like Two Wolf City. A few days later, Chen Guanxi and his men began to cough violently.
, only then did he know that he had the plague, and he was worried. Zhang Xiaowu found him wearing a mask, calmed everyone's emotions, and said to everyone: "The plague is not terrible. As long as we deal with it properly, we will get through it."
Hesitating that there is a lack of medicine in the northern part of the country, the ghost guards can only hold on to the plague. Fortunately, the heavy snow is coming soon. The arrival of the heavy snow also makes Mucheng temporarily safe. Everyone hides at home for the winter, and no one goes out to wander anymore.
.
At this time, everyone in the rebel army said goodbye, left Mucheng, and returned to the Central Plains. Zhang Xiaowu stayed with Wang Xiaojian for a few more days, but Wang Xiaojian refused and said: "I will restrain everyone, and the road will be safer. If I don't restrain you, I'm afraid these things will happen."
People will be infected with the plague in the Two Wolf Cities."
Zhang Xiaowu said: "You must remember to drink boiled water, not raw water, and all food must be cooked before eating. You can change the eight epidemic prevention strategies yourself. After all, not every place is Saibei."
Wang Xiaojian said goodbye and left, and the rebels left one after another. Zhang Xiaowu went to look for Tao Zhiruo, but only received a letter with only one address, which was the location of Lingnan Medicine King Valley. Zhang Xiaowu understood her thoughts, but he never could
He is not a person who is tied up in the personal affairs of his children, nor is he a leader who wants beauty rather than power. He just treasured this letter.
Tao Zhiruo left without saying goodbye, leaving only a letter, but Zhu Wushuang stayed. Her reason was that as the personal bodyguard of General Saibei, she had to protect the general's safety. Zhang Xiaowu couldn't laugh or cry, and asked: "Don't say those nonsense.
Tell me the truth, why don't you go back to your hometown in the Central Plains?"
Zhu Wushuang reluctantly explained: "My grandfather and my mother-in-law have arranged a baby marriage for me. I don't want to marry a stranger I have never met before. I just escaped from the marriage. How can I go back easily?"
"
"He Zhe, you are running away from your marriage. Does your adoptive father know?"
"I know, he said, he protected me, and after meeting my grandpa, he persuaded me." Zhu Wushuang said with his hands on his waist angrily, "I didn't expect that he left first and married a Tartar woman. He didn't do anything righteous at all.
As a father, I have been abandoned. General, do you think I should follow the couple or stay?"
Zhang Xiaowu said with a smile: "Then you can stay, otherwise there will be a shortage of three in the house, and everything will be missing."
"What to play?"
"Mahjong."
"What is Mahjong?"
Zhang Xiaowu said with emotion: "Mahjong is the most fun chess and card in the world. It is - I warn you in advance, Wuying Hand Zhu Wushuang, if you use your martial arts when playing mahjong with me, be careful I will tie your hands."
Zhu Wushuang patted her flat chest and promised: "Of course, I never play tricks with my friends. Please teach me how to play mahjong."
Zhang Xiaowu said: "First of all, we must have a pair of mahjong before I can teach you how to play..."
The emergence of mahjong brought a lot of joy to the boring life of Wooden City under lockdown. Mahjong made of wood was quickly welcomed by everyone. Zhang Xiaowu taught everyone how to play mahjong in a very simple way, which is the simplest garbage game. Later, everyone
He felt that the gameplay was too simple, so he asked Zhang Xiaowu what other gameplay he knew. Zhang Xiaowu only knew two ways to play, one was Junk Hu, and the other was the egg-laying mahjong in Changchun, Jilin. Obviously, he was better at laying eggs and won against Zhu Wushuang.
The three daughters, Mang Zhong and Yuan Wanqiu, lost all their monthly money.
In order to deal with Zhang Xiaowu, Zhu Wushuang began to cheat, using her skills to steal cards and exchange cards, which often won Zhang Xiaowu a lot of money. Seeing that the money in his pocket was dwindling, Zhang Xiaowu realized that something was wrong. Zhu Wushuang denied that he was cheating.
, Zhang Xiaowu couldn't find anything to do with her, so he was so angry that he stopped playing mahjong with them and went to patrol the streets when he had nothing to do.
Compared with last winter, this winter is colder. Zhang Xiaowu is worried that the people will starve to death and is worried about the climate in the Central Plains. They have not received a report from the imperial court for a long time and do not know how the Central Plains is. Even the memorial sent to the imperial court two months ago
There is no news either.
Zhang Xiaowu wondered in his heart, did the imperial court not care about defeating the Wuhuan army?
