Troubled times: Start practicing spiritual practice by taking care of your sister-in-law

The sun was high in the sky, and the weather in September was extremely scorching and dazzling.

The gates of Sheng'an City were closed, and the doors of every household in the city were closed. The streets were extremely deserted and clean, and the air was filled with a strong smell of mugwort.

There were only a few clerks from the government offices moving on the streets. Each of them had a white veil on their face and held a "straw handle" with thick smoke in their hands. The strong smell of mugwort in the air came from the smoke in the "straw handle".

At this time, a group of people drove from the direction of the city gate. They were all riding horses. Except for the few people in the lead, they all wore bright armor, carried strange longbows, and had stern faces.

People with broad knowledge could recognize at a glance that the horses these people rode were war horses. Judging from the armor they wore, it was clear that this group of people was not ordinary.

"It's the adults who are back."

A clerk saw his own county magistrate.

"Who are those young men next to the county magistrate? It seems that the lord is quite afraid of them."

"Shut up, they are probably sent by the higher authorities."

The leading clerk whispered, bent over and walked forward to greet them.

"I greet all the lords."

The county magistrate of Sheng'an County was about to speak when the handsome young man on the white horse immediately signaled with his eyes and said, "Go directly to the charity cemetery."

"Yes." The county magistrate of Sheng'an County did not dare to disobey at all, and waved his hand to let the leading clerk go down to do his own business.

When the team passed by the leading clerk, the woman wearing a half-face mask next to the handsome young man said, "The fumigation of wormwood is useless for the plague. You should grind the heart grass and the Paris polyphylla into juice, then find a piece of clean cloth to wet it with the juice, and cover your mouth and nose after drying it, so as to prevent the plague."

The voice was hoarse and strange, which surprised the leading clerk.

The magistrate of Sheng'an County scolded: "Why don't you follow the instructions of the nobleman? After it is done, distribute it to the people of the whole city."

"Yes."

The leading clerk hurriedly took the people below to do it.

After these clerks left, the magistrate of Sheng'an County hurriedly explained, or shirked responsibility: "It was the doctor in the city who said that mugwort can drive away poison and evil spirits."

"The doctor is right. Mugwort does have the effect of driving away poison and evil spirits, but it is useless for the plague in front of us." Nalan Yiren said.

The magistrate of Sheng'an County nodded and obeyed.

Soon, a team of people came to the outside of the charity cemetery.

Sun Meng arranged for people to set up sentries and guards nearby.

Seeing Chen Mo dismount and walk towards the charity cemetery, the Youzhou prefect who had not spoken just now hurriedly reminded: "Your Majesty, there are all corpses infected with plague and dead inside, be careful of the dragon body."

But Chen Mo just glanced at him and walked towards the charity cemetery.

The Youzhou prefect could only follow.

The magistrate of Sheng'an County naturally did not dare to stand outside. He took out a handkerchief smoked with mugwort from his bosom and covered his mouth and nose, then followed him in.

Although the nobleman just said it was useless, he didn't care whether it was useful or not, as long as he felt at ease.

The people who died of plague in the city were piled up in the courtyard of the charity cemetery. They were transported by the clerks and burned together.

The smell of mugwort inside was stronger than that in the city. In addition to exorcising evil spirits and avoiding poison, it was also to suppress the stench of the corpses in the charity cemetery.

There were three corpses in the house. According to the magistrate of Sheng'an County, Guan Rong's body was also there and was not burned together.

The weather was hot, and the body had been dead for a long time. The stench in the house was so strong that even mugwort could not suppress it, which made people want to vomit.

But Nalan Yiren's eyes were full of exploration. She took out a pair of gloves made of some unknown animal intestines from her bosom and put them on her hands. Then, like the coroner, she began to study the three corpses placed inside.

The Youzhou prefect and the Sheng'an county magistrate did not know Nalan Yiren's identity. Although Nalan Yiren was wearing a half mask on her face, it could be seen that she was not very old. In terms of medical skills, people would think that he was very capable only when he was older.

Therefore, the two of them had doubts about Nalan Yiren's ability.

It was just that Chen Mo was there, so they did not dare to show any doubt.

Time passed by little by little.

Soon, an hour passed.

The stench in the room, the hot weather and the long standing made the Youzhou prefect and the Sheng'an county magistrate feel a little uncomfortable. They raised their hands to wipe the sweat from their foreheads. They wanted to ask if he was well, but seeing that Chen Mo did not show any discomfort, they could only shut up.

Another half an hour passed.

Seeing that Nalan Yiren was still inserting silver needles and dissecting things, Chen Mo couldn't help asking, "Yiren, are you sure?"

"Ah?" Nalan Yiren was stunned.

"I asked you if you are sure?"

"No problem, I will write a prescription later, and the infected person will be cured after taking it." Nalan Yiren said.

Chen Mo breathed a sigh of relief.

The governor of Youzhou and the magistrate of Sheng'an County breathed a sigh of relief and smiled. Although Nalan Yiren was just talking and the prescription had not really been determined, they had already thanked her on behalf of the people of Youzhou and Sheng'an.

After Nalan Yiren wrote the prescription, the magistrate of Sheng'an County took the prescription and hurried down to make arrangements, and the governor of Youzhou did the same.

After the two left, Chen Mo asked, "Yiren, is it difficult?"

"Not difficult, why do you ask that?"

"I see you have been studying for so long."

"Um. Ahem." Nalanyi coughed twice and said: "This plague is not strong, but it is very novel, so I just studied it carefully. If I guessed correctly, this plague is On the basis of cholera, it was cultivated using human bodies, then transferred to animals and re-cultivated.

Well, when it was cultivated, both humans and animals should still be alive. "

Chen Mo looked calm.

Yuzhu on the side felt shuddering.

In vivo experiments, this is terrible.

"so."

"Yes, this plague is man-made."

As soon as Chen Mo opened his mouth, Nalan Yiren seemed to know what he wanted to say and continued what he said.

Nalan Yi also said: "I really want to meet the person who created this plague. Although it is not very contagious in my opinion, it has given me some new ideas. Maybe I can get some insights from this person." A way to further my poisonous skills.”

"When I find him, I will hand this person over to you." Chen Mo said.

Since it is man-made, and the clues point to Jin Xia, it is almost 100% certain that this is Jin Xia's conspiracy.

"How about you treat others the way they are treated? I have a kind of plague that is more harmful than his." Seeing Chen Mo's face, Nalan Yiren hesitated for a while and spoke. road.

Chen Mo thought for a while and shook his head.

Although he wanted to wipe out Jin Xia, he didn't want to destroy Jin Xia's species. Killing all Jin Xia would be too extreme. He didn't want to hurt innocent people.

Every injustice has its own owner, and every debt has its own owner. Just look for those who committed the crime.

In addition, he also wants to annex Jinxia and bring Jinxia into the territory of the Wei Dynasty. If the Jinxia plague is rampant, he will gain nothing.

"Okay, now that we have a solution, the next step is to wait until the plague is under control and find Jin Xia to settle the accounts." A cold light flashed in Chen Mo's eyes.

After saying that, he walked towards the outside of the house. The smell inside was really unpleasant.

Nalan Yiren and Yuzhu followed closely behind.

At this moment, the magistrate of Sheng'an County and the prefect of Youzhou who had gone down to make arrangements ran over sweating profusely.

The magistrate of Sheng'an County said: "Your Majesty, two nobles, I have asked the doctor in the county and the shopkeeper of the medicinal shop about the Zijin Yunhua and Jade Bone Konjac in this prescription. I, the Wei Dynasty, do not have these two medicinal materials." , only available in Jinxia and Baiyue.”

"I almost forgot that Zijinyunhua does not exist in Zhongzhou." Only then did Nalan Yiren remember it.

Of course, what it doesn't mean here doesn't mean that it doesn't grow on the land here in Zhongzhou.

Zhongzhou has a vast territory and rich resources, and some of them may grow in deep mountains and old forests. However, these two medicinal materials correspond to too few diseases. If medicinal material dealers want to make money, they basically need to buy and sell those with high demand. Therefore, no one will go to these two medicinal materials in Dawei. Naturally, it will not be found in any large or small drug stores in various cities.

"Then what should we do now?" Chen Mo frowned. Even if Baiyue Jinxia gave it to him, how many people would die every time.

Nalanyi thought for a while and said: "Use Ganoderma lucidum and Baicaoguoginseng instead, but the medicinal properties will be reduced."

Speaking of this, she said to the Youzhou magistrate and the Sheng'an County magistrate: "You go and prepare it first. You can just take it a few more times."

The magistrate of Sheng'an County looked at the magistrate of Youzhou.

The error-free version is being read! 6=9+Book_Bar debuts this novel.

The magistrate of Youzhou looked at Chen Mo.

"Do as the Imperial Master says." Chen Mo said.

"promise."

The two retreated.

Of course, the blood of the Nalanyi people can detoxify hundreds of poisons, and this kind of plague is naturally no problem.

But there are so many people infected. If blood is used to detoxify, how can the blood of the Nalanyi people be enough?

The magistrate of Sheng'an County first went to find out whether there were medicinal materials such as Ganoderma lucidum and Baicaoguoshen in Youzhou. After knowing that these two medicinal materials were very common and not scarce, he asked his subordinates to fry a few portions first and give them to the infected patients. After knowing it works.

The magistrate of Youzhou issued the order and sent it to all counties in Youzhou, and notified Huicang and Gaozhou.

After all, His Majesty and others only need to issue orders, and they, as a group, have to think more.

After learning that Fangzi was useful, although Chen Mo had already believed in Nalan Yiren, he still had a trace of worry in his heart. Now, this trace of worry is finally gone.

He can now concentrate on his plan to attack Jinxia.

But before that, I took a shower. My body smelled like mugwort.

Chen Mo extended an invitation to Nalan Yiren to take a bath together.

Even if the relationship between the two was just a close call, with Yuzhu by her side, Nalan Yiren would definitely not agree. She glared at Chen Mo with a cold face and refused without hesitation.

Chen Mo followed Yuzhu to the accommodation arranged for them by the magistrate of Sheng'an County.

It is a large house with a rather elegant environment.

Even the beautiful slaves in this house can become courtesans in brothels.

Apparently it was specially arranged by the magistrate of Sheng'an County.

Chen Mo had no intention of picking wild flowers. After leaving it to Yuzhu to make arrangements, he was led by a maid to a study room.

First, he sent a message back to Beijing to Geng Songfu.

Let the imperial court inform the world about the recent plague that has occurred in Youzhou and other places.

Accused Jin Xia of crimes.

In this sense, Chen Mo has two purposes.

One is to let the people all over the world know Jin Xia's unscrupulous crime.

Second, there has been peace for more than two years, and the people are more or less resistant to the war. He wants to arouse the hatred in the hearts of the people, and twist the people of Wei into a rope, which will also make the army more combat effective.

After the letter reaches the capital and is announced to the world, the plague in Youzhou should be under control.

Then Chang'en and others who are waiting in Qingzhou can go north.

After Chen Mo finished writing the letter, Yuzhu walked in: "Your Majesty, the hot water is ready."

Chen Mo nodded, asked Yuzhu to wait, and then called Sun Meng to send someone to send the letter back to the capital.

There are special bathhouses in Youzhou, and there must be many big houses like the one where Chen Mo stayed.

It's just that these bathhouses haven't been opened yet because it's not winter yet.

But now Yuzhu has arranged it.

As soon as I entered the bathhouse, it was steaming hot, filled with a refreshing floral fragrance, and the water vapor was heavy.

There was no bathtub inside, but a bathtub embedded in the ground, a bit like the bathhouse where Yang Guifei bathed that Chen Mo visited in his previous life.

It's just that it's very large, and it's covered with warm jade pieces all around, which looks more beautiful.

A layer of petals was sprinkled on the steaming water surface.

"Your Majesty, I will undress you."

After closing the door, Yuzhu came over. While undressing Chen Mo, her eyes dropped and a hint of shyness appeared on her face.

Although the two had slept together many times, it was the first time for Yuzhu to help Chen Mo take a bath.

"Let's do it together."

Chen Mo also undressed Yuzhu's skirt.

Before Yuzhu became Chen Mo's woman, she was wearing hot clothes, but after becoming Chen Mo's woman and a concubine, she naturally became conservative in her clothes.

Chen Mo would definitely not allow his woman to show her thighs and waist in front of others.

Yuzhu hummed lightly.

As the skirt was removed, Yuzhu's hot and graceful body was immediately exposed to Chen Mo's eyes.

Yuzhu's skin color had been cultivated for a period of time, and it was not so dark, but turned into wheat color. Her chest was not very broad, but it was very upturned, so it looked very reasonable.

A strand of hair fell to her forehead. It was not known whether it was because of the mist, but she looked quite charming. In her beautiful diamond-shaped eyes, there was a spring-like watery feeling.

Chen Mo held the slightly sharp oval face and gently stroked it with his fingers.

Yuzhu had also finished undressing at this time. She stretched out her hands to stroke the young man's shoulders, and her body suddenly felt hot.

Chen Mo lowered his head and kissed the corner of her lips, picked her up, and walked towards the pool.

The water level of the bath was not high, only up to the waist, so they needed to sit down.

As the hot water soaked their bodies, they both moaned in comfort.

Chen Mo held Yuzhu in his arms again and said, "Yuzhu."

Yuzhu's cheeks were slightly red. After feeling the heat somewhere, she whispered, "Your Majesty."
