Chapter 189

Qu Chu's understanding of King Jiangcheng deepened:
The ruthlessness of King Jiangcheng is even worse than that of King Jing. Not only can he be far-sighted, he can also act decisively and deal with things without leaving future troubles. This person should not be underestimated.

……

Just as Qu Chu finished digesting the news, another general walked in quickly.

"General, some people in the army have symptoms of vomiting, diarrhea, and red eyes and black faces. Although no one has died yet, I just heard the news that more people in Nanshu City have this situation, and some people have died one after another. "

Qu Chu put down the official document in his hand.

Bingyu said before that there was an epidemic in Nanshu, did it really come?

Qu Chu pondered:
Bingyu said that the outbreak of the epidemic in Nanshu occurred a few years later, during the turmoil in Nanshu.It is too coincidental that the epidemic that originally occurred a few years later occurred after he captured Nanshu.

I am afraid that this epidemic is not a natural disaster at all, but man-made.

If this epidemic is man-made, who is behind the scenes?
King Jing, King Jiangcheng or Yan Qingnan?
Or did they join forces?
No matter who it is, the first priority now is to suppress this epidemic.

Qu Chu looked at the general, saw that he seemed to have something to say, and asked, "Is there anything else?"

"and also……"

The general looked at Qu Chu and hesitated to speak.

Qu Chu was displeased, "If you have anything to say, just say it, what else is there to hide from me?"

Only then did the general speak out.

"Right now, there are rumors circulating in Nanshu City:

It is said that it was because the general led troops to attack the city that alarmed Posa God, so Posa God convicted him as a punishment.As long as the general is driven out of Nanshu, the epidemic will disappear. "

In Southern Shu there are about [-]% Yi people, about [-]% people from other ethnic groups, and the remaining [-]% are Dayu people.

The Yi people believe in the God of Posuo.

……

Qu Chu didn't care much about these rumors, but at this time, such rumors were still aimed at himself, and he was afraid that King Jing would take action.

However, Qu Chu was not afraid.

The soldiers came to block, the water came and the earth flooded, just took advantage of this opportunity to clean up King Jing.

……

"Come on, let's go to the army to have a look."

……

In the barracks, the military doctor is examining the soldiers.

"what's the situation?"

Seeing that it was Qu Chu, the military doctor frowned a little.

"It's a little strange. I don't think it looks like an epidemic."

"How to say?"

The military doctor said:
"The most important feature of the epidemic is its contagion. Although there are quite a few people in the city who got sick, I haven't seen any signs of contagion among those who got sick in the army.

As of yesterday, there were 165 people who fell ill in the army, and today there were only 2 more people. If it was an epidemic, the number of new people would be more than that. "

In the military camp, everyone eats, drinks and sleeps together in the same tent, people next to each other. If it was an epidemic, it would have spread long ago.

Qu Chu felt relieved, as long as it wasn't an epidemic.

"Then why do you think they got sick?"

The military doctor scratched his head, "Before we thought it was an epidemic, we followed the method of epidemic prevention and treatment, but later it didn't look like it. However, it didn't seem like acclimatization and illness."

This is a little strange.

Qu Chu remembered what Qu Bingyu had said to her.

After she died in the previous life, Ying Xue once created an epidemic in the wolf country.But what Yingxue knew was only poison. Thinking about it, the epidemic back then was not an epidemic, but a large-scale poisoning.

Could it be that someone poisoned the current situation in Nanshu City?
Thinking of this, Qu Chu asked the military doctor: "Is it possible that it was poisoning?"

Hearing the word poison, the military doctor's eyes lit up.

"Yes, yes, yes, they may have been poisoned, but I don't understand poison, so I don't know if it is true or not?"

Su Yingxue is an expert in making and detoxifying poisons, and Qu Chu has been with her for a long time, so he knows a little bit about poisons.

If someone really poisoned it, then the poison is most likely to be in the water.

Because cooking, washing vegetables, cooking, and drinking water are all inseparable from water.

However, this water cannot be flowing, otherwise it may spread or be diluted.

After thinking about this, Qu Chu called a general over.

"You led people to fetch all the drinking water sources in Nanshu City. The water in each place is bottled separately, and the water source is marked where it is. Don't confuse it."

After the general led the order, the military doctor asked, "General, do you suspect that the poison was poisoned in the water?"

Qu Chu nodded, "It's just a suspicion, we won't know until we check it."

Now the general went to fetch water, and Qu Chu wanted to go to Nanshu City to see the situation.

"You call the military doctor who is not busy right now, and go with me to see the sick people in Nanshu City."

……

Qu Chu left the barracks with a dozen military doctors.

Nanshu and Nanyi were originally one in the previous dynasty, they were both called Nanshu, and most of the people who lived there were Yi people.

Later, turmoil broke out among the Yi people. One of them withdrew from what is now Nanyi and became an independent country, while the other remained in Nanshu.

Although most of Nan Shu were from the Yi tribe, as long as they were from the Dayu Kingdom, Qu Chu felt no different.

The people of Nanshu believe in the Po-suo God devoutly. When they are sick, they usually don't go to see a doctor, but only pray to the Po-suo God.Qu Chu wanted these military doctors to take a look at the people in Nanshu City.

It is June now, but Nanshu is not too hot, but the air is always humid.Qu Chu stayed in the north for more than [-] years, and he didn't like this sticky and stuffy feeling.

Walking on the street, there was no one there, which was very different from the situation when Qu Chu passed through Nanshu last time.

The last time Qu Chu and Ning You passed through Nanshu, although the common people's dress, language, and customs were different from Yu's, but the expressions of the common people were very happy and peaceful.

Unlike now, the entire Nanshu city is dull and depressing.

Qu Chu was thoughtful: It is not easy for the people of Southern Shu to have a sense of belonging to Dayu Kingdom like the people of Yudu.

……

Qu Chu and his team found Lizheng, and the general doctors were divided into four groups to go to different areas to treat the common people.

Qu Chu followed one of the group of military doctors.

According to the investigation by the soldiers, Qu Churangli was knocking on the door of a family of people.

The people in this family make pickles, and all six members of the family are sick.

The door opened, and a Yi woman in her forties appeared in front of her eyes.

This Yi woman wore a huge silver hat on her head, a colorful brocade barbarian dress, and a huge silver collar around her neck, which was more refined and luxurious than ordinary people's attire.

Li Zheng introduced to Qu Chu that this woman is the married daughter of the family, and she came back to take care of them because the whole family was sick.

Qu Churangli was stepping forward to negotiate.

The woman looked at Qu Chu and his party with complicated eyes, but she still turned sideways to get out of the way.

Qu Chu asked the soldiers and Li Zheng to stay outside, and she entered the house with several military doctors.
