My lord is a demon again

Chapter 589
"Western Region insect Gu technique?" Zhao Yun never knew what insect Gu was, so he stared at Grandpa curiously, waiting for his answer.

Zhuge Shenhou didn't know where to start, and thought for a long time before saying:

"Your Majesty, in fact, the old minister is just hearsay. When the Emperor Taizu led the old minister to attack the Ximing Kingdom, the old minister once let go of a woman from the Ximing Kingdom in private. Be careful of Western Region Gu, that woman once said that it looks like those little black bugs you saw just now."

Sikong Luo said: "So, wouldn't the people of the capital be in danger?"

Zhuge Shenhou said: "That's right, Your Majesty, the person who released the Gu must be caught as soon as possible, otherwise, the consequences will be disastrous."

Just as I was talking, suddenly a fast horse in front of me rushed forward, jumped down, knelt down on one knee and said, "Your Majesty, something is wrong, a strange disease suddenly broke out in the capital, and hundreds of people died overnight. His skin is sallow, his bones are as thin as a stick, and it may be the plague!"

"It's not a plague, go, pass on my word of mouth, and anyone who finds such dead people will be incinerated on the spot immediately, and there will be no mistakes!"

"Observe the order!" The messenger got on his horse and galloped towards the city.

Xiao Wang also said to the lieutenant beside him: "Take more people to post notices, telling the people not to go out for the time being, until the real culprit is caught."

"Yes, my lord!" The deputy general waved his hand, took dozens of elite soldiers, and went to prepare pens, inks, papers and inkstones.

At this time, the old man woke up from the pain, seeing those coffins burned to ashes, heartbroken.

Zhao Yun said: "Old man, do you know how dangerous it was just now? If it wasn't for breaking one of your arms, I'm afraid your old life would be lost."

The old man was so frightened that he was dumbfounded, he didn't dare to mess around, he just said with a mournful face: "This old man has never done anything wicked, why is God so cruel~"

Zhao Yun doesn't have so much time to watch him talk nonsense, it's none of my business, it's obvious that someone committed the crime.

Turning around to the old general, he said, "Grandpa, it's not too late, we'd better take action as soon as possible."

Zhuge Shenhou ran all the way, but he didn't care about taking a rest, he said: "That's right, since that's the case, then we will divide into two groups, Yun'er, you and the emperor will go together, and I will go with the Huguogong."

"So, Grandpa, where do we start?"

"Yun'er, Grandpa thinks this is a big deal. It's likely that someone intentionally wanted to create confusion, spread rumors, and take advantage of the troubled waters."

"Fishing in troubled waters? Grandpa, what is the purpose of those people?"

"This grandpa doesn't know either, so the task of you and the emperor is mainly to appease the people and not let the thieves get their way. Grandpa and Duke Huguo should hurry up and search to see if there are any suspicious people from the Western Regions in the capital recently."

Sikong Luo also agreed with this very much, saying: "Okay, it shouldn't be too late, let's split up."

"Xiao Wang, come here."

Zhaoyun called Xiao Wang aside, muttered a few words in a low voice, then winked at Sikong Luo and said, "Your Majesty, let's go first, it is more important to appease the people."

Sikong Luo didn't say any more, jumped on a big horse with Zhao Yun, and headed for the city.

Seeing that the boss was gone, Xiao Wang also said to Zhuge Shenhou: "Old General, I'm afraid you don't have time to rest, let's go, I have something to remind you..."

After speaking, Xiao Wang put his mouth close to Zhuge Shenhou's ear, and muttered softly for a while, and Zhuge Shenhou nodded frequently.

Ever since, the army bypassed the ashes of those coffins and marched into the city.
