Chapter 684: The Plague
"Did the Yuwen family really do it?"
When Su Peng heard this, his heart was shocked, and he said to Sun Yiyu.
It's just that Su Peng saw that Sun Yiyu looked at him with a strange face, but shook his head.
"Huh? Why, isn't it the Yuwen family that put the source of the plague in Liangzhou? ”
Seeing Sun Yiyu's appearance, Su Peng intuitively felt as if things were not what he imagined, and asked Sun Yiyu.
I saw Sun Yiyu looking at Su Peng for a long time before he spoke: "You really don't know? ”
"Brother Sun, what happened? Your expression, how do I feel like you're suspicious of me? ”
Looking at Sun Yiyu's expression, Su Peng frowned and said.
Seeing Su Peng's reaction, Sun Yiyu seemed to make some judgment, he sighed, shook his head and said: "It's not the plague in Liangzhou, it's the plague that gets it, but it's the Yuwen family itself...... There is a plague in Yuzhou! ”
"What?"
Su Peng listened, but as if he couldn't believe it, he opened his eyes wide, looked at Sun Yiyu, and only said a word after a while and asked, "How can it be Yuzhou?" ”
"I think it's weird, too." Sun Yiyu nodded and said to Su Peng: "After you told me about the Yuwen family's plan that day, I contacted Dakong Temple and Cihang Jingzhai through letters and face-to-face communication, and both of them said that they would go to Yuzhou to ask the Yuwen family for clarification, but the matter has not yet come to fruition, so I got the news that the people of Cihang Jingzhai gave me, saying that Yuzhou itself had an outbreak of plague. ”
"What's going on?"
When Su Peng heard this, he felt more and more confused, he frowned and said, "Could it be that the Yuwen family accidentally leaked the source of the plague and infected the civilians of Yuzhou with the plague?" ”
"It doesn't seem like that." Sun Yiyu shook his head and said, "The source of the plague prepared by the Yuwen family that you told me that day is not the same as the plague that happened in Yuzhou this time. This plague in Yuzhou has never been seen before, and it is not what you described...... Brother, don't blame me, at the beginning, I even suspected you, wondering if you were going to put the plague in Yuzhou, but said the other way around, after all, this world is too coincidental, you just finished telling me about the Yuwen family, and as a result, there was a plague in Yuzhou. Everything seems to be counted as if it were good. ”
When Su Peng heard this, he couldn't help but be speechless for a while, he looked at Sun Yiyu and asked, "Brother Sun, are you still suspicious of me now?" ”
"Nope." Sun Yiyu listened and smiled. Said: "Actually, this thought is clear when you think about it, if this plague is really spread by humans. How long have you been in charge of Yuncheng? In the past, you were all alone on the rivers and lakes, where did you have the resources and manpower to develop the source of the plague? And from what I know of you, you're not like that, and besides, if you really have that mind, just do it yourself. Why bother to tell me about the Yuwen family? Doesn't that make me suspicious? ”
Su Peng listened to Sun Yiyu's words, and felt a little better in his heart, he was regarded as a friend of Sun Yiyu, so he naturally didn't want him to misunderstand him. And this matter has nothing to do with him, and naturally he doesn't want to be blamed for others.
"But this matter, the people of Cihang Jingzhai and Dakong Temple are very suspicious of our Hanging Pot Hall, and the reason is the same, as soon as I sent out the news, Yuzhou sent out a plague, and this plague suddenly happened for no reason, it seems to be controlled by man, both of them have written to ask me where I got the previous news."
Sun Yiyu continued to say to Su Peng.
"Oh? Brother Sun said that the news came from me? Also, how serious is the plague in Liaocheng and Yuzhou? ”
Su Peng looked at Sun Yiyu and asked him.
"Naturally, I didn't admit you." Sun Yiyu smiled and said to Su Peng: "I know the old feud between you and Cihang Jingzhai and Dakong Temple, if you tell you, I don't know how many misunderstandings there are, I deduce that I received an anonymous letter from someone in my hanging pot hall and found it, you can rest assured." ”
"As for this plague, it is very serious, it seems that one-third of the residents of Liaocheng have been infected with the plague, after being infected with this plague, people will be afraid of light, afraid of water, and their reason will be reduced, easy to attack others, and by these people who suffer from the plague scratch or bite, there is a certain chance that they will also suffer from the plague...... Moreover, I heard that in Liaocheng, there are already many soldiers of the Yuwen family, who have also been infected with the plague. ”
"What? The army of the Yuwen family was also infected with the plague? ”
Su Peng's heart skipped a beat when he heard this.
Originally, Su Peng was still thinking about whether this was a bitter ploy by the Yuwen family, or whether the source of the plague was accidentally leaked in their local area, but now I heard Sun Yiyu say that the Yuwen family's army was infected with the plague, but it made Su Peng understand that it seemed that the Yuwen family was also a victim of this matter.
Releasing the plague in Yuzhou did not do any good to the Yuwen family, not to mention that the Yuwen family's army was infected with the plague at this time, which was not a trivial matter.
Su Peng was in Yuwen Wuji's study a few days ago, and he had already heard that the Yuwen family had gathered a lot of troops near Liaocheng, plus the original garrison of Liaocheng, adding up to tens of thousands, if these tens of thousands of people were infected with the plague, the strength of the Yuwen family would be weakened by three or four quarters, and the stay of these troops was even more problematic, and they could not return to Yuzhou, otherwise the plague in Yuzhou would be even more violent.
Listening to what Sun Yiyu said, this plague seems to be deliberately controlled by someone, and the person who released the plague is definitely not himself, but which force released the plague?
"Could it be that Xu Huaiyu, who is in Linyi, also thought of this poisonous trick, and started studying the plague a few years ago?"
In Su Peng's heart, he couldn't help but think of Xu Huaiyu, the assassin of Liangzhou, if something happened to the Yuwen family, Xu Huaiyu benefited the most.
However, Su Peng had no evidence in his heart for this matter, and now he couldn't be sure which force did it.
With a long exhalation, Su Peng asked Sun Yiyu, "Brother Sun, do you have any ideas?" ”
"Yes, that's why I consulted with you." Sun Yiyu nodded and said to Su Peng: "The most serious place for the plague in Yuzhou is Liaocheng, I just heard that the situation in Liaocheng seems to be very bad, but I haven't seen it in person, this time I plan to go to Liaocheng in person to see the situation there, and I also invite Brother Su to go and see the situation in Liaocheng in person." ”
"Going to Liaocheng?" Su Peng listened, but frowned slightly.
His identity is sensitive, and the authorities of the Yuwen family may not tolerate him, and the plague in Liaocheng is raging, who can guarantee that he will not be infected.
Seeing Su Peng's expression, Sun Yiyu knew that Su Peng hesitated, and said to Su Peng: "Don't worry about the plague in Liaocheng, I hang the pot to help the world, thousands of years, there are so many plagues in the world, and there are many people in the sect who go to treat them, our sect is originally a small family, and the number of people is not large, so it is natural that it cannot afford to lose, so it has long been researched to prevent most of the plagues in the world. It's still a matter of suffering. ”
"That's it......" Su Peng listened, his heart settled down a little, the hostility of the people in power in Liaocheng to him was secondary, Su Peng was most worried about the plague, if the plague could be prevented, there would be no big problem.
Anyway, Liaocheng doesn't have a real master who can keep himself.
"Also, Liaocheng itself can't show any strength, in Liaocheng, the officials who have not been infected with the plague have been evacuated out of the city, and the people of the Yuwen family have also been temporarily withdrawn, the city is unmanaged, and those who are infected with the plague Yuwen's army, some of the troops who are still healthy have been withdrawn, leaving only the soldiers who have been infected with the plague, they are also in a state of no leader now, it can be said that the entire Liaocheng is now an ownerless city, all relying on the usual inertia, But if this plague can't be quelled in the near future, then I'm afraid that the whole of Liaocheng will riot. ”
Sun Yiyu said to Su Peng.
"It's so serious?"
When Su Peng heard this, he was also surprised, but he didn't expect that in just three or four days, Liaocheng was already like this.
"How? Is Brother Su going to Liaocheng with me? But don't say I didn't remind you, the people of Dakong Temple and Cihang Jingzhai may also go. ”
Sun Yiyu looked at Su Peng and asked.
Su Peng frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and then said, "Go!" But let me prepare, there may be a lot of people in Liaocheng who will come out to flee, and I Yuncheng can't afford to spend it, I can't let the plague patients in Liaocheng enter Yuncheng, let Yuncheng do the same, I will send some soldiers, in Yuncheng and Liaocheng only see cards, of course, I will not let the refugees in Liaocheng die on the road, I will prepare tents and food and other materials to supply them. ”
Sun Yiyu listened, nodded, and said, "That's fine, you can't let the plague spread like this, you did the right thing...... Then I'll wait for you for a day, and tomorrow at noon, we will go to Liaocheng together. ”
Su Peng nodded and agreed to Sun Yiyu.
Sun Yiyu came here mainly to talk about this matter, and after explaining it clearly, he left first.
And Su Peng sighed deeply and ordered his subordinates to prepare for the defense of the card.
……
……
On the morning of the second day, Sun Yiyu came to look for Su Peng.
Su Peng confessed to the elders of the demon clan, and asked Li Mu to lead five hundred demon troops and five hundred Yuncheng human army soldiers to set up a card defense between Liaocheng and Yuncheng, while he and Sun Yiyu rode two fast horses and rushed to Liaocheng.
At noon, the two had already come to Liaocheng City.
Su Peng came to Liaocheng, only to see a bleak scene here, the defenders at the gate have long been gone, the gate of Liaocheng is wide open, and there are no defenders on the city wall, and only occasionally some people from Liaocheng can be seen coming out of the city, it seems that some people who are still in good health are fleeing out of the city.
It's just that neither the Yuwen family in Yuzhou nor Su Peng in Liangzhou can let these people who may carry the source of the plague enter their territory, and these people who go out to flee can also foresee that the future will also be bleak.
Sun Yiyu and Su Peng were waiting at the gate of Liaocheng City, and not long after, Sun Yiyu saw that there seemed to be a few figures in the distance speeding towards this side, he pulled Su Peng and said, "It's here!" ”
Su Peng turned his head and looked in the direction Sun Yiyu was looking...... (To be continued......)
