Chapter 100: The Difficulty of Approaching the City, Heaven and Hell V (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
The ground was pitch black, the sky was pitch black, and only the ground was burning with blazing flames that shone brightly.
On Huangquan Road, the figure wearing a crown and a royal robe was shrouded in a black dead air, staring at the crowd walking with numb eyes in front of him.
"The times are thin, people's hearts are destroyed, the five emotions are chaotic, and the plague gods are raging in the last days, and there are countless innocent victims. It is necessary to verify the merits and demerits as soon as possible, and send them back to the yang world and reincarnate as a new human. ”
The unkempt tail of the Xuanhu who kept jumping with flames in his eyes nodded and said: "The king's move is a blessing for the people in the yang world." ”
Suddenly, all the people walking on the Huangquan Road turned their heads in unison, staring at the two people who were talking, and blood flowed from their numb and empty eyes, followed by blood from their noses and ears.
Jiufang Shaoyun, who suddenly woke up from a nightmare, was hot and dry, as if he had been roasted on a fire.
"Little junior sister, how do you feel?"
Yin Xuanling's voice poured coolly into Jiufang Shaoyun's ears, and her drowsy brain was much clearer.
Finding himself lying in a tent ventilated everywhere, Jiufang Shaoyun reached out and touched his forehead, which was still a little hot.
"How long have I been asleep?"
Before Yin Xuanling could speak, the curtain of the tent was lifted, and Wu Zhu walked in from outside.
He walked to Jiufang Shaoyun's side, touched Jiufang Shaoyun's forehead with the back of his hand, and then asked him to open his mouth.
"The fever is severe, not like the plague, but you need to get a good rest."
Wu Zhu poured a bowl of water for Jiufang Shaoyun, wiped the sweat from her face with a handkerchief, and asked her to lie down and sleep for a while.
Seeing that Wu Zhu's forehead was full of beads of sweat, and his clothes were full of dust and fire marks, Jiufang Shaoyun could guess that he had just experienced something.
Wu Zhu, who smiled slightly, preemptively said before Jiufang Shaoyun spoke: "The corpses have been incinerated, the medicine is already boiling, and the people with symptoms have been isolated, you have been too tired recently, don't worry about these things, lie down and rest well." ”
"You only say that I am tired of hard work, so you yourself are beaten with iron, won't you feel tired?"
Wu Zhu is still the same, he only knows that he feels sorry for others, and he doesn't know how to care about himself, Jiufang Shaoyun can't help but feel pantothenic acid in his heart.
Wu Zhuren, who was slightly stunned, glanced at Yin Xuanling, who was standing on the side of the bed with a stiff body, and shook his head with a smile: "My body is strong, you don't need to worry." ”
"I'll go out and have a look."
No matter what Wu Zhu said, Jiufang Shaoyun was still not at ease, jumped off the ground, put on his shoes, and walked out.
Wu Zhuren, who sighed helplessly, hurriedly followed, and told her to walk slowly, careful of dizziness.
Yin Xuanling, who was stunned and watched the two of them walk out one after the other, took a step forward, but stopped again.
The weather was hot and humid, and there were many displaced people, and some residents of the city chose to return home, but most of them stayed in the open space of the city gate.
The tent is ventilated and cool, and it is not a good thing to live in the same room, but it is not a good thing for people to gather, so Wu Zhu asked everyone to cover their mouths and noses with cotton cloth, and try not to live in the same room when sleeping at night.
Yinghu, who had been urging and shouting all day, had a hoarse voice like sand poured into his throat, and it flapped its wings weakly, landing on the head of Jiufang Shaoyun, and couldn't spit out a word.
Seeing that everyone was in order, some people were boiling medicine, and some people were boiling water and cooking, Jiufang Shaoyun's heart finally relaxed.
Suddenly, there was a commotion not far away, followed by a group of soldiers in armor who came over, divided the crowd, and walked in front of Jiufang Shaoyun.
The aunt and Aunt Xu, who had instigated everyone to make trouble in front of Fengwei City before, led a middle-aged man who was a little bald on the top of his head and was wearing a gorgeous brocade dress to step forward and point to Jiufang Shaoyun and Wu Zhuren: "It's them." ”
The bald middle-aged fat man, with a big belly and a very mercenary smile, stepped forward and bowed to the Jiufang Shaoyun and Wu Zhu.
"Jin Sanmu, the city lord of the Lower Golden Cabinet City, didn't know that the Immortal Doctor Pavilion Immortal Doctor and the Qingqiu Ancient Castle Wuzhu Lord had arrived, and he was disappointed to welcome him, and he also looked at Haihan."
After speaking, without waiting for the two to return the salute, he smiled and made a gesture of please, saying that he had prepared a meal in the City Lord's Mansion and invited the two to the mansion as guests.
"I have come here to fight the plague and to heal the people, so I will be spared the matter of being a guest."
Jin Sanmu, the city lord of Golden Cabinet City, heard the two of them refuse in unison, the two yellowish eyebrows on his face trembled, and his tone was unquestionably hard, and he invited the two again.
To put it nicely, it is to be a guest, but in fact it is coercion.
Helplessly, Wu Zhu told Shunzi a few words, and went to the City Lord's Mansion with Jiufang Shaoyun.
Jin Sanmu, who always had a hypocritical smile on his face, first praised Jiufang Shaoyun and Wu Zhu for understanding the righteousness, and then smiled and blamed the two for not going to the city lord's mansion as soon as possible after entering the city, which could save a lot of effort.
Wu Zhu snorted coldly in his heart, as far as he knew, when they came to the Golden Cabinet City, the city lord Jin Sanmu was not in the city at all, and he didn't know where to take refuge.
Now that the fight against the plague is on track, he suddenly appeared when he heard the wind.
The Golden Cabinet City Lord's Mansion is decorated with golden brilliance, which is more exaggerated than the Zhuyang City Lord's Mansion, which is rich in platinum and red gold, at least, the City Lord's Mansion of Zhuyang City is full of flowers and trees because the city lord's wife Qi Lan likes flowers and plants, which is very elegant. And the city lord's mansion of the Golden Cabinet City, where the scenery can be created, will never waste any flowers and plants, rockeries and strange stones abound, just like a large gold cabinet filled with all kinds of dazzling colors, for fear that others will not know that this is the city lord's mansion.
In the spacious living room, a banquet has been set up, looking at the table full of delicacies, thinking about the thin soup and vegetable cakes outside, Jiufang Shaoyun's face became ugly.
Zhumen wine and meat stink, and there are frozen bones on the road, which is a true portrayal of the Golden Cabinet City.
In front of the dinner table, there was already a man waiting, also dressed in brocade clothes, with a fat brain and slightly curly hair, it was Tang De, the city lord of Changyou City, who looked like a cunning little old man.
The two city lords were here, and they happened to discuss the anti-epidemic matter together, and after taking their seats, Jiufang Shaoyun waited for a polite word with Jin Sanmu, the city lord of the Golden Cabinet, and went straight to the point.
As a result, Jin Sanmu didn't give her a chance to discuss the plague at all, and even after she sat down, she had an argument with Tang De, the city lord of Changyou City, over the previous Tianmu Mountain fire.
Tang De came to Golden Cabinet City this time, not to discuss the common fight against the epidemic for the plague, but to investigate the responsibility for the fire in Tianmu Mountain, and to ask Jin Sanmu to hand over the right to take care of the forestry of Tianmu Mountain.
The fertile fields near Tianmu Mountain on Jin Sanmu Road have already belonged to Changyou City, and Tang De is advised not to be too greedy and be careful to break his belly.
Hearing Jin Sanmu mention the matter of good fields, Tang De also said angrily that Changyou City was originally the largest grain sales place in all the surrounding towns, but as a result, Golden Cabinet City took advantage of the plague to forcibly occupy the grain market, especially Fengwei City, which usually has the largest transaction with Changyou City, has now been robbed by Golden Cabinet City.
"That's because the price of the grain sold in our city is reasonable, unlike you, a black-hearted merchant, who took advantage of the plague to hoard grain and raise the price of grain, and as a result, the hoarded grain was piled up in the warehouse and moldy and hairy, but you still refused to open a warehouse to help the people. The people of your city did not oust you from power, but they can only say that they are too weak and easy to deceive. If it were me, I would have rebelled and ousted you, the black-hearted city lord, from power. ”
"You dead fat man is embarrassed to say, if it weren't for your careless care of the mountains and forests of Tianmu Mountain, which led to rampant wildfires and caused plagues, how would you have caused the current situation. And you stay in the city all year round to listen to the voices of the people for a few days, either going to the outer city every day for fun, or hunting in the wild, but you have ever put the city lord and the people in your heart. ”
Jiufang Shaoyun never imagined that the plague was raging, the people of the two cities were in dire straits, and the two city lords, whose responsibilities were as heavy as Mount Tai, were about to fight because of their respective interests.
In comparison, the city lord of Fengwei City can be called the king of the Holy Ming.
