The Grand Secretary’s Pampered Wife

Chapter 503: Brother and Sister Go Out (Part 2)

At night, Gu Chengfeng didn't wait for his elder brother to come, and fell asleep amidst a burst of grievances.

Hmph, brother will definitely come to see him tomorrow!

The next day, Gu Changqing left the city...

Gu Changqing went out of the city with Gu Jiao.

The crisis in Yuegu City has been resolved, but there are still two crises waiting for them in the next battle, one is that Gu Changqing's legs were cut off, and the other is the annihilation of Gu's army.

These two incidents are actually related, and the cause lies in Lingguan City, which was garrisoned by the remnants of the previous dynasty.

The remnants of the previous dynasty did everything they could to deal with Gu's army. They got a plague patient from somewhere and infected the people in the city. After Gu's army took back Lingguan City, they didn't know that a plague had quietly spread in the city.

When the doctors confirmed that it was the plague, Gu Jiajun had already been infected.

This kind of plague is most likely plague, with a short incubation period, extremely fast onset, severe symptoms, and extremely high mortality.

Gu Jiajun quickly took measures, but it was still a step too late, and a large number of Gu Jiajun were infected.

Due to lack of proper medical treatment, hundreds of Gu Jiajun died of illness in the isolated camp every day.

In order to completely curb the plague, their remains could only be burned, and even their ashes could not be brought back.

Gu Changqing was plotted against by someone on the way to find medicine for them. He was a very powerful dead man, his skill was no less than that of Zhao Kingdom's Dragon Shadow Guard, but the other party didn't take Gu Changqing's life, but just cut off his legs .

The other party's purpose seems to be to let Gu Changqing live in sobriety and pain, lose Gu Jiajun, grandfather and biological brother, but still leave him a Gu Chenglin in the house, making his life worse than death, but he can't die.

He lives forever in the abyss of pain.

Gu Jiao seriously thought about it, if she wants to save Gu Jiajun, she must eliminate the plague from the source and prevent the plague from spreading.

To avoid Gu Changqing's tragedy, preventing him from leaving the army to find medicine is the second priority. The way to get rid of the fire is to find that powerful dead man and kill him!

Gu Jiao doesn't know where the dead man is for the time being, so let's deal with the plague first.

On the way to Lingguan City, the two rode their horses past in the snow. Gu Changqing suddenly turned to look at her: "Your equestrian skills have improved."

Gu Jiao didn't know how to ride a horse when she was in the capital.

Gu Jiao said: "From the capital to here is riding a horse, it will be fine."

To be honest, her equestrian skills are not good, but the horse is good, and she doesn't need to spend too much skill to control it, and the horse runs quite happily by itself.

But my sister's progress,

No matter how small it is, it is still big.

Gu Changqing was very relieved, his eyes were bright when he looked at Gu Jiao.

"By the way." Thinking of the purpose of going to Lingguan City this time, he said again, "How do you know that there are plague patients in Lingguan City?"

Gu Jiao said without changing her face: "I have been to Lingguan City last time, and I also went to the prefect's mansion of the former headquarters."

But I know this news has nothing to do with my going to Lingguan City.

Gu Jiao added something in her heart.

However, Gu Changqing took it for granted that she filled in the information that she hadn't given - Gu Jiao went to the prefect's mansion and overheard the plans of the remnants of the previous dynasty.

It has to be said that the Gu family and his son have properly controlled the skill of brain supplementation.

The news that Gu's army had wiped out Chen Guo's 20,000 troops spread like wildfire, and the defense of Lingguan City was also stricter than before. However, the border city was not surrounded by walls like the capital city, and even Lingguan City was only built on the only way. Several levels.

It is not difficult for the two of them to pass this kind of checkpoint. They hid the horse in the nearby forest, and then Gu Changqing used lightness kung fu to lead Gu Jiao around.

Naturally, this terrible danger would not be placed in the prefect's mansion. The remnants of the previous dynasty locked the plague patients in a small stockade in the northwest of Lingguan City.

After entering the city, the two went straight to Xiaozhaizi.

Xiaozhaizi is located at the foot of a mountain, surrounded by mountains on three sides and facing water on one side.

To enter the stockade, you have to pass the wooden bridge on the river.

The two squatted down behind a bush and carefully observed the movements in the village.

The village is very small, with only a dozen small houses made of mud and grass. The doors and windows of the small houses are all closed, and occasionally there will be a few suppressed coughing sounds coming from inside.

The two observed for a long time, Gu Changqing whispered: "Strange, there are no guards."

"The door is not locked either." Gu Jiao said.

Gu Changqing nodded.

This is a very big doubt.

The ones locked here are the plague patients. Although they are going to deal with the Gu family army, but now the Gu family army has not come to Lingguan City, and the rebels who are stationed here are the remnants of the previous dynasty.

The streets are full of former soldiers.

Aren't they afraid that these patients will accidentally infect their own people when they go out?

Gu Jiao also felt very strange, in the dream, she only saw the result, not the process, so for a while, she couldn't help the remnants of the previous dynasty to sell these medicines in the gourd before releasing these patients.

But since they're here, they can always check it out.

"Someone is coming!" Gu Changqing covered Gu Jiao's head with his hands, and pressed his body under the bushes together with her.

Those who came were two remnants of the previous dynasty, each carrying a big food box and walking in the creaking snow.

Just now when Gu Changqing brought Gu Jiao over, he used lightness kung fu, so he didn't leave footprints in the snow, and the soldiers walked past Gu Changqing and Gu Jiao.

Two soldiers came to the stockade, put the food box on the open space in front of them, and then left.

"Is this food delivery?" Gu Jiao asked.

"It looks like it's time for lunch now, are you hungry?" Gu Changqing suddenly lost his focus.

Gu Jiao was about to say that I'm not hungry, when Gu Changqing took out something wrapped in kraft paper from his bosom, and when he opened it, it turned out to be a pack of dried meat.

Gu Jiao: "..."

Before Gu Jiao had time to eat, there was movement in one of the cabins in the village.

There was a creaking sound, and the wooden door was pulled open from the inside, and a tall, burly man walked out slowly.

He was wrapped in a thick quilt, holding an empty bowl, and his steps were clanging and heavy.

His breath made Gu Jiao feel familiar, Gu Jiao wrote two words in the snow with her index finger: "Dead man."

Gu Changqing frowned.

He took her cold fingertips and warmed them in his hands.

The two continued to observe the movement in the house.

The complexion and state of this dead man are not quite right, as if he is also a plague patient.

He came to the open space in the village, opened the food box on the left, slowly took out a piece of cake and a steamed bun, opened the food box on the right, and scooped up a bowl of dark soup.

After doing this, he turned and went back to the house.

It was a little difficult for him to walk, and he could see that the lesion had taken root in his body.

After he closed the door, the doors of the other small houses began to open one after another. After that, all the villagers without martial arts came out. They were between twenty and forty, which belonged to the age with good physical fitness in one's life.

As if carefully selected by someone, Gu Changqing's heart sank.

There are two villagers in each house, a total of fourteen people. Like the dead man just now, these people also took dry food and medicinal juice.

"Can you smell any medicine?" Gu Changqing took out the dagger, wrote a line in the snow with the scabbard, and then handed the dagger to Gu Jiao.

Gu Jiao wrote: "The medicine to cure the plague."

"Can it be cured?" Gu Changqing took the dagger and wrote.

Gu Jiao shook her head.

It can't be cured.

If this is really the plague, you have to use streptomycin, or tetracycline, chloramphenicol, or sulfonamide drugs. of life.

Gu Changqing fell into deep thought.

The two squatted behind the bushes for a while, and suddenly, the door of the easternmost room was opened, and a young man in his early twenties came out sneakily.

Gu Jiao noticed him just now when he was cooking.

Gu Jiao is a doctor, so she can tell who has the most severe symptoms, but this young man has the mildest symptoms, so Gu Jiao pays more attention to him.

The young man probably wanted to escape, and he tiptoed across the clearing to the wooden bridge.

However, before he stepped on the bridge with one foot, he was thrown to the ground by a strong force, and he fell into the snow on the spot with a nosebleed.

"Next time, I'll chop you into pieces and feed them to the dogs!"

It was the voice of the dead man.

At this point, Gu Jiao and Gu Changqing finally understood why there was no guard here.

With that powerful dead man here, none of the villagers here can escape.

What's more, it can also reduce the risk of soldiers being infected.

The young man covered his bleeding nose, and resigned himself to crawling back to his cabin.

Gu Changqing's eyes suddenly turned cold.

He understood what the former court's remnants were planning.

There will be a battle in Lingguan City. If Gu's army is defeated and Lingguan City is still a remnant of the previous dynasty, then these plague patients will be executed on the spot.

And if the Gu family army wins, these plague patients will be released to infect the people in the city and the Gu family army.

The so-called destroy it if you can't get it, that's probably the case.

As for why these patients were not directly driven to Yuegu City, one was because they were sick and could not walk that far; the other was that accidents were prone to happen on the way to drive them away.

If one ran away, or accidentally came into contact with the soldiers, the consequences would be disastrous.

Gu Changqing's eyes were so cold that he didn't even need a dagger, he stood up and said, "I'll kill that dead man."

Gu Jiao pressed his hand: "I'll kill it."

Today is also the day to want a monthly pass!
