Chapter 24

No, he must go to stop it.

"Pass down the order to immediately intercept Mr. Yushi, and not let him go there."

"Yes." Hu Shanghuai accepted the order with cupped fists, then ran down the lookout tower, got on his horse, and immediately rushed towards the burial slope in the north corner of the villa.After a while, he caught up with Yu Xin's speed.

"Call..."

Hu Shanghuai tightened the reins of the horse, turned the horse's head around, stopped in front of Yu Xin's carriage, and then raised his voice and shouted: "This subordinate is Hu Shanghuai, the deputy general under General Zeng. Come to welcome Mr. Yu Shi to the general's tent to gather together. Lord Yu Shi immediately stopped going forward and followed the next party."

Yu Xin opened the curtain of the car, walked out of the car, stepped on the shaft, looked at the lieutenant standing in front, and said in a deep voice: "Hu Shanghuai, lieutenant Hu, I was ordered by the emperor to come forward Come to save people, do you plan to stop this official from doing things?"

"Subordinates dare not." Hu Shanghuai replied quickly.

"Since that's the case, if you don't give way, you will delay the big event. I'm afraid you have ten heads that won't be enough to cut off."

"This..." Hu Shanghuai was in a dilemma for a moment. After all, he was also ordered to stop Lord Yushi from taking risks, and there was absolutely no reason to leave like this.Just when he was in a dilemma, there was a sound of trampling horseshoes in the distance.

Hu Shanghuai looked into the distance, and recognized at a glance that the person walking in front was the General, and he couldn't help but let go of a big stone in his heart.

"Call..."

Zeng Wanghai tightened the reins, stopped in front of Yu Xin, clasped his fists and said, "Lord Xiao, it's been a hard journey, why don't you go to check on the patient after resting in the tent first?"

Yu Xin looked up at the burly general in front of him, with a shocking beard and piercing eyes. Although he was a little tired due to many days of hard work, it did not hinder his majesty.

Just at the first glance, Yu Xin had a good impression of the general in front of him.Although, the first sentence he spoke seemed a little inappropriate, and he must have been worried about her safety.

Before coming here, she had heard about the character of General Zeng, and seeing how well-organized the management here was, she could be sure that this general was definitely not an indecisive person, so things would be much easier to handle.

"General Zeng, the reason why Xiao rushed to the burial slope in the north corner was entirely for the sake of the people. I wonder if the general has received a message from the imperial city, saying that it is about the rat hunting in the city?"

After Zeng Wanghai pondered for a moment, he said lightly: "I heard a little."

She saw at a glance that the general didn't seem to know the specific situation, so she continued, "I'm afraid the general only knows one thing but not the other."

"How to say?" Zeng Wanghai frowned and stared at Yu Xin, waiting for her explanation.

"Xiao found out today that those rats also had a terrible disease, and it was the corpses that were too late to deal with that caused their disease. Therefore, Xiao went to the burial slope not only to check the spread of the disease, but also to check there. Whether the diseased mice have appeared."

"What if it appears?" Zeng Wanghai asked cautiously with a wisp of beard.

"Whether it's life or death, it's a fire." Yu Xin said coldly with a cold face.

Hearing Yu Xin's words, Zeng Wanghai's expression turned extremely ugly.At the beginning, even if those people were seriously ill, he would send people to try to treat them. Unexpectedly, the censor in front of him had to slaughter all the people just because a mouse had disease.Even if he fought on the battlefield, he had never been so cruel. Suddenly, he couldn't see through the man in front of him.

"General Zeng, if sacrificing a small number of people can make more people survive, who can say that this decision is wrong. I believe that the general is also a decisive person, and he will definitely not hesitate because of these trivial matters. forward."

Zeng Wanghai fell silent for a moment, he couldn't bear to let him watch the people die.But indecision is not what a general should have.After hesitating for a moment, he finally chose to believe in Yu Xin's ability.

"Okay, this general will go with Lord Xiao. If there is an emergency, we soldiers can also help."

"Thank you sir."

After solving Zeng Wanghai's matter, Yu Xin and his party headed towards the funeral slope.

As soon as he set foot on the area of ​​the burial slope, he could smell a stench filling the air. Yu Xin signaled everyone to stop, then took out two milky white medicine towels, handed one to Zeng Wanghai, and covered the other on his nose, and then With his eyes, he signaled Zeng Wanghai to follow behind her.

Walking step by step towards the center of the burial slope, you can always see scattered skeletons along the way, some of which are written as animals, and some are human corpses.There is not even a mosquito on these corpses, which makes people feel weird.

"General Zeng, pay attention later to see if there are any survivors. If there are any, take them away. Remember to be careful. I estimate that the worst situation has already appeared at this moment."

"You mean..." Zeng Wanghai looked at her suspiciously.

"See what the mice over there are doing?"

Zeng Wanghai followed Yu Xin's instructions and looked over, only to realize that several mice were hiding beside the boulder, watching the two of them.

"They...are they spying on us?" Zeng Wanghai suddenly turned pale with shock.

"No, they are monitoring us, but avoiding them." Yu Xin shook her head, denying Zeng Wanghai's guess.

"You mean, they're avoiding the two of us?" No wonder he was so surprised, it's just because he saw the rampant behavior of rats in recent days, so he would inevitably have doubts.

"It's all because of the medicine towel in your and my hands. I soaked this medicine towel with a special medicine for an hour, so it has an unpleasant smell of mice, and we use it to isolate the plague in the air, and at the same time It also cuts off the attacks of those rats. However, this medicine towel can only last for an hour before it becomes invalid, so you and I must hurry up."
