Chapter 17 Uncovering the Imperial Ranking
The sudden plague killed many people. Fortunately, the emperor took it seriously and set up a refugee camp outside the city to accommodate those infected.

Walking on the deserted street, the cold wind blew up the snow particles, hitting my face with pain.

The two gatekeepers inside the city gate put their hands in their arms and exhaled white air from their mouths, talking to each other one by one.

At this moment, a young man wearing a black cloak walked up to the two of them and said that he was leaving the city.

"Are you leaving the city now?" The burly soldier among them looked him up and down, and then said in a disgusting tone: "Why did you go so early?"

"I have something important to do now and I have to go out!"

The man's disrespectful tone made the soldier a little unhappy. Just when he was about to teach the person on the other side a lesson, he was stopped by someone on the side.

He patted his chest with his hand, indicating that he was not familiar with the other person. Then he turned his head and explained to the man: "Now the emperor has issued a decree that no one in the capital is allowed to leave the city. You should go back."

After listening to what he said, the man took out the newly removed imperial list from his arms and let the two of them look at it. After they read all the words on it, he asked: "Can I go out now?"

"Just you?" The soldier who was looking at him earlier didn't seem to believe that the ordinary-looking man in front of him could cure the plague. He said, "This imperial list is not something you can uncover if you want. If you don't cure this disease, you What you have committed is the crime of deceiving the emperor, do you really think that this money is so easy to get?"

He asked the man to leave quickly, pretending that he didn't see anything, and asked him to re-attach the imperial list to avoid being discovered the next day.

He reminded her out of good intentions, but the other party didn't take his words to heart and insisted on going out.

The man was young, but his eyes were as bright as a cat's in the darkness of the night. Apart from his beautiful eyes, his facial features were really average, the kind that you wouldn't find if you fell into a crowd.

He had a calm temperament and looked like someone who had studied for several years, but they couldn't let him out just because of this.

In order to avoid conflict, one of the soldiers said: "Well, you wait here first, and I will ask Master Teng for instructions."

As he spoke, he hurriedly conveyed the news.

Master Teng on the other side was overjoyed when he learned that someone had revealed the imperial list. Without saying a word, he invited the person who revealed the imperial list to come over.

You must know that since he took over this mess, he has been very busy every day, not only risking infection but also being questioned by the emperor.If you are not careful, you will lose the black gauze hat on your head, and even your life will be ruined here.

Seeing that the imperial list has been posted for several days, but no one dares to respond to this investigation. The emperor's patience is being worn out day by day, and it is getting harder and harder for the people below them to do things.

Now that someone has stood up, he is naturally happy.

However, this happiness only lasted until the moment he saw the person who unveiled the imperial list. When he saw a young man being brought over, he was dumbfounded.

Teng Wuyu looked at the young man in front of him, and his heart suddenly went cold.

He coughed lightly and said to the people in the hall: "I am not taking the imperial examination here. Are you taking the wrong path?"

Huo Jiuge understood that he disliked her for being too young and not looking like a person with medical skills, but there was nothing she could do.

The original owner's body was already weak. Even if she used the art of disguise, it could not change the fact that she was short. Her current appearance was still the result of her hard work.Faced with the doubts of the people in the hall, she could only say that she had clearly seen the words on the imperial list before taking it off. She looked confident, which formed a strong contrast with her appearance.

Teng Wuyu was anxious to get rid of this hot potato, so when he saw the other party's insistence, he stopped asking and hurriedly had someone take him to the rescue camp in Puzi, a suburb of Beijing.

The rescue camp is located in an open space ten miles away from the capital. The camp is very large, but it is still under construction because people are constantly being sent here every day.

There were more and more people in the tent. Originally, only fifteen people could be crammed into each tent. Now, there were more than thirty people crammed into the tent. There was no place to even stand down, let alone rest.

Huo Jiuge looked around at the common people with sallow faces and thin muscles, and even a lot of children. They were clinging to their adults, suffering from illness, and their eyes had lost hope for life.

As soon as Huo Jiuge stepped into this place, the medical system in her body sounded an alert. This time it reminded her not that there was an injured person, but to remind her to pay attention to her own safety, because she was already close to a dangerous area, and if she was slightly unsafe, If you are careful, you will let yourself get infected by this epidemic.

She had experience dealing with this kind of problem in her previous life, so she had already put on the mask early.

She followed the soldier leading the way and saw a girl on the way. She was probably only eleven or twelve years old. She was curled up alone in a corner. The lotus-colored cloak on her body was so worn that her original appearance could not be seen. .

Judging from her appearance, she has been infected with the epidemic for some time. The abscesses on her face have even begun to bleed and pus. Blood marks appear on her face. It looks shocking, and she is too weak to open her eyes. When I opened my eyes, even my breathing rate became very low.

Huo Jiuge stopped beside her, took off his cloak and put it on her body.

After doing all this, she reached out to explore her forehead and found that it was indeed very hot. The little girl probably noticed someone around her, so she subconsciously shrank back. It seemed that she was very resistant to the approach of others.

After feeling her emotions, Huo Jiuge coaxed her softly: "Don't be afraid, I'm here to treat you."

The little girl heard her voice and stopped moving. However, she was so weak that she could not open her eyes and couldn't see clearly who was treating her.

When Huo Jiuge saw that she was motionless, he turned his attention to her hands and looked at the same abscess. She took out the scalpel and made a cut, letting the pus flow into her hand. She was diagnosed by the blood lotus in her body.

The whole process was accompanied by a stench that would have been unbearable to anyone else, but Huo Jiuge continued to treat her without changing his expression.

Puncturing the skin is a very painful thing, but the little girl remained silent, perhaps because compared to the torture these days, this pain is nothing.

Blood Lotus immediately gave the diagnosis result. This disease is caused by respiratory tract infection. It mainly damages the human lungs. At first, it is just a simple cold and fever, followed by a red rash, and then... Breathing becomes difficult, and in later stages, like this little girl, the body is covered with abscesses and eventually suffocates to death.

This disease is highly contagious, and anyone who comes into contact with the patient's clothing may be infected, and it is difficult to treat with ancient medical technology.

The most important thing now is to bring down her high fever first.

 Thank you Qingqi Fuling Jianbaozi for your recommendation vote, Pengpeng will continue to work hard!
