Chapter 122 The Plague
The old woman was laying on her feet to offer a seven-treasure whip, and the soldiers who were resting around immediately got up and snatched it away.

He Mucheng recognized at a glance that this Seven Treasure Whip is not something ordinary people can hold.

She stopped in her tracks, ordered some food and wine, and sat on the sidelines, watching every move of the people around her.

Those soldiers passed the reward for a moment, and asked, "Where did you get this thing?"

The old woman replied submissively, "It was a gift from a handsome gentleman. He came here for dinner and didn't bring any silver, so he used this whip as a mortgage..."

The soldier immediately became alert, "Is the gentleman's hair yellowish?"

The old woman nodded hurriedly, "Yes, yes, I have never seen such a handsome man, the old woman, with fair complexion like a woman, deep eyebrows and eyes, humble and kind to others, I told him that the price of the food and wine he ordered was not worth that much at all." Silver taels, he still gave this horsewhip..."

"Where is the person?" The soldier asked in a deep voice before listening to the woman's chatter.

The old woman shivered, raised her finger and pointed in one direction, "Let's go, I've been gone for a while..."

The leader winked, and three of them chased after him on horseback.

She turned the horse's head, looked around for a moment, and suddenly heard neighing from the foot of the mountain not far away.

But when Ji Yunyuan went to Yuzhou this time, it was effortless to repel Shihu!
The only thing to worry about now is the soldiers of the Ji family army.

He Musheng raised his hand to touch the horse's nose, and the horse sneezed. It was a cold winter day, and the mist dispersed, instantly melting into the desolate wilderness.

Thinking of this, He Musheng had another plan in his mind. She couldn't go to Jiankang with him to rescue Sima Shao this time. She had to rush to Yuzhou to see if any soldiers of Ji's army were infected with the plague. Can be treated in time.

"Is anyone there?" she called softly.

It is said that war horses are the most spiritual. Maybe its owner is in danger, so it looks for people everywhere, but it didn't go to the post station for help. Could it be...

I still remember that that day in Langya Palace in Lucheng, Wang Xuan once said that Wang Dun didn't seem to be worried that Shihu's capture of Yuzhou would make him suffer from the enemy.

He Musheng turned his head, tightened the reins, and asked in a rough voice, "What's wrong?"

He Musheng looked at the pitch-black cave, and asked in a low voice, "Do you want me to go in and save people?"

He Musheng came back to his senses, sighed lightly and nodded, "Yes, my wife is still waiting for me to pick her up to Wuchang."

As she spoke, she raised her palm and patted the horse, "Drive!"

That being the case, then Sima Shao should still be in Wuchang.

The sky darkened quickly.

Thinking of this, He Musheng couldn't help quickening his pace.

Looking up, she found a brown horse looking at her.

A sad sigh sounded from behind, "He is an infatuated person, in this world, there are not many such people, there are not many..."

How can there be a war horse in this wild country?

Finally, when he saw the saddle on the horse's back, he realized that it was a war horse.

Not long after, the three of them came back again.

Why doesn't this horse hide when it sees strangers?

He Musheng didn't look back, and galloped after Hongxia at the end of the path.

The woman wiped her hands on the apron in front of her, and took a step forward, "Don't go, I heard that there is a plague in Lucheng, if you go, I don't know if you will come back!"

The horse neighed again, almost like a response.

It's so, it's so!
At that moment, she finally figured out the knot that had troubled He Musheng for a long time!

Wang Dun, he is using the power of the plague!

It was only then that He Mucheng realized that the horse was going to take her somewhere.

The leader sighed, "I won't chase anymore, someone else will take over. Our task has been completed."

The plague is raging, so what if Shihu takes Yuzhou?At that time, maybe the soldiers of the Jie tribe would have been dead or wounded, how could they have the strength to fight Jiankang?
Therefore, the fall of Yuzhou at this time cannot pose any threat to the Jin family at all.

It must have been left behind by someone not long ago. In such a war-torn era, it has long been common for people to change their sons and feed them. If an unmanned horse was bumped into by a refugee, it would have been eaten long ago, not even bones left.

He Musheng exhaled foul breath, exchanged for a lighter from the system, lit it, and quietly entered the cave.

plague?Could it be the virus brought by those polluted water sources?
Yes, this virus has polluted water sources. In this era without antibiotics and antipyretics, isn’t it a deadly plague?

He Musheng was immersed in his own thoughts when he saw the woman tremblingly stepping forward, stretching out a bony hand to pat her sagging ankle, "Son, is there someone important in Lucheng?"

She asked softly, "Where is your master?"

Now, she finally figured it out!

There were far fewer soldiers around, and not far away was a canyon, and there were post stations on both sides of the canyon, where Wang Dun's men and horses were guarding. He Musheng looked from a distance and saw people trying to go out of the valley, but were persuaded by the soldiers to return, and he immediately understood , this Wuchang, I am afraid that there will be no exit.

The horse shook his head, turned around and walked for a while, seeing that the people behind him did not keep up, he neighed a few more times.

The winter sky darkened extremely quickly, and one person and two horses walked for about half an hour before stopping at the entrance of a towering mound.

She got off the horse and approached slowly while holding the rein. Because of the dark sky, He Musheng thought it was a wild horse at first, but the closer she got, the more surprised she felt.

He Musheng got up, put down the money, got on his horse, and was about to leave when the woman said again, "Mr. Lang, are you going to Lucheng?"

After talking, several people returned to the table and continued to drink.

The inside is very damp, and because the entrance of the cave faces north, there is no sunlight for many years, so there is a musty smell echoing in the breath from time to time.

"How do you say that?" He Mucheng's heart sank.

She wasn't worried about Ji Yunyuan, she had already left special medicines for him, but those special medicines could only save ten people at most.

But she couldn't figure out the logic of this. Since Wang Dun invaded Jiankang and Shihu invaded Yuzhou, why could he let Shihu's actions make the country he had won with great difficulty fall into a precarious situation again?

He Musheng also knew that this was not like Wang Dun's style.

"Damn it, the plague was only prevalent in Yanzhou, and it was about to disappear, but Shihu captured Yanzhou and wanted to occupy Yuzhou. The people of Yuzhou fled to Lucheng, and brought the plague into the outskirts of Lucheng. Will something happen in Wuchang..."

As soon as the woman finished speaking, she heard those soldiers yelling, "It was all brought by that Jiehu Shihu!"

"Commander, it is true that someone is heading in that direction. However, if you want to chase now, I am afraid it will be difficult to catch up. The horse manure is cold, and it seems that it has been two or three hours."

The light from the lighter was very limited, He Musheng turned around, and slowly heard footsteps approaching him behind him.

She looked happy, and just about to turn around, she heard a heavy panting past her ears, followed by a tight neck!
A big cold palm strangled her throat!

Just as He Musheng was about to speak, Fang Fang tightened his five fingers. She couldn't breathe well, so she could only cough uncontrollably.

Accompanied by retching, his back hit the stone wall, He Musheng frowned in pain from the pain!
In the darkness, the other party leaned forward, imprisoned her with an elbow, and said hoarsely, "If you dare to speak out, I will kill you!"
