Li Wangyou's order made the officials in Xuzhou hesitate a little.

"Master Hou, at this time Yanling County is sealed off and the people are prohibited from entering and leaving. I'm afraid there will be a civil uprising." The governor of Xuzhou said with a bitter face.

The magistrate of Yanling County was quite aware of the outbreak of the epidemic in Yanling County, and he didn't dare to say anything about it. He just sent people to Changzhi County for help.

But the common people are not fools, and this kind of thing cannot be kept secret for long.

If the people found out about the epidemic, they would definitely panic. Wouldn't it make the people in the city even more panicked if they sent government soldiers to seal the city at this time?

But Li Wangyou shook his head: "No need to say much, pass on the order, anyone who dares to take a step beyond the threshold will be killed!"

841 Invulnerability to Hundred Poisons

Yanling County is only seventy or eighty miles away from Changzhi County, and it can be reached in an hour on a fast horse.

Yanling County is just a lower county with a population of less than [-] households.

According to the calculation of an average family of five in the Tang Dynasty, there are only four to five thousand people.

However, after the flood, many victims flooded into Yanling County.

Originally, most of the victims went to Changzhi County in Xuzhou Prefecture, but because of the strict sanitation ban imposed by Li Wangyou in Changzhi County, many victims felt that it was too troublesome, so they dragged their families along and would rather walk dozens of miles I went to Yanling County to find a bite to eat, and I didn't want to stay in Changzhi County and be controlled by others.

As a result, tens of thousands of disaster victims flooded into the small Yanling County, more than the people in the original county.

However, the county magistrate of Yanling County did not follow Li Wangyou's example and placed the victims outside the city for centralized resettlement. Instead, they opened the gates of the city and allowed these victims to enter the county town, where they distributed porridge and food.

Because there were too many disaster victims pouring into the city, the magistrate of Yanling County simply canceled the curfew and allowed those victims to camp on the streets of the county town.

In this regard, the county magistrate of Yanling County is still very proud, thinking that what he is implementing is a benevolent government.

The county magistrate of Yanling County also scoffed at the sanitation ban from the Governor's Mansion in Changzhi County. He just ordered the servants of the county government to convey the ban to the public, but he didn't bother to ask whether the people were willing to implement it.

It was early summer and the weather was getting hotter.

There are tens of thousands of people in the small Yanling County, and there are no public toilets in the city. The sanitary conditions can be imagined.

All kinds of filth can be seen everywhere on the streets. Before the garbage after the flood has been cleaned out, new garbage has been added.

Rats running around, mosquitos flying everywhere, disgusting.

It is such an environment, but the magistrate of Yanling County is still very proud, thinking that it is a great achievement to take in so many victims under his rule without causing any trouble.

When the city's squares were constantly reporting, people in all the neighborhoods had fever, cough, and even coughed up blood.

And the same is true for those disaster victims gathered on the streets of the city.

Faced with this situation, the county magistrate of Yanling County panicked, and the word "epidemic" jumped out of his mind.

The panic-stricken county magistrate quickly blocked the news, and at the same time ordered the yamen servant to ride a fast horse and report to Changzhi County immediately.

But the county magistrate of Yanling County did not expect that when he sent the yamen servants to report to Changzhi County, within a few hours, it was not the doctors sent by Changzhi County, but hundreds of soldiers from the government.

These government soldiers did not enter the city, but separated their hands and surrounded all four gates of the county.

The county magistrate of Yanling County was informed by his subordinates, so he quickly put on his official uniform and went out to welcome him.

But before he walked in, he was surprised to find that each of these government soldiers had a white mask covering their faces, which completely covered their mouths and noses, only showing a pair of eyes.

"Stop, stay there and don't come over!"

Before the county magistrate of Yanling County approached, he was stopped by the government soldiers on the opposite side. At the same time, the government soldiers raised their weapons one after another, aiming at the county magistrate of Yanling County and the officials behind him.

"What are you doing? This county is the county magistrate of Yanling County. Why are you blocking the city gate?"

The county magistrate of Yanling County couldn't help being furious, pointing at the government soldiers and angrily reprimanded them.

But he saw Captain Guo Yi walking out of the soldiers, also wearing a white mask covering his mouth and nose.

"A certain is Captain Youguoyi of Zhechong Prefecture in Xuzhou. He was ordered by the founding marquis of Hu County and the envoy of Henan Province to block the entire territory of Yanling County. No one is allowed to enter Yanling County without permission. Anyone who violates the law will be killed!"

Lieutenant Guo Yi's words naturally caused an uproar among officials and servants in Yanling County.

"What? Why is the county seat blocked? What is the reason for this?"

"Why don't you allow me to wait in and out of the county?"

"Mingfu, what the hell is going on here? It's all right, why did the soldiers block the county?"

"What the hell happened?"

At the gate of the city, the people who watched the excitement saw this scene, and they all became louder, and many people crowded around and walked out of the city.

The crowd gathered more and more, and the soldiers in charge of sealing the city gate hesitated a little.

"Captain, what should we do now?"

Lieutenant Guo Yi gritted his teeth, and ordered viciously: "If anyone refuses to obey the ban and wants to forcefully leave the city gate, kill him!"

"promise!"

Following Colonel Guo Yi's order, the government soldiers raised their weapons again and aimed at the officials of Yanling County and the people in the city in front of them.

The government soldiers may not know that there is an epidemic in Yanling County, but Captain Guoyi and Captain Zhechong do know about it.

When Li Wangyou ordered the government soldiers to blockade Yanling County, he summoned these three people to him and explained the outbreak of the disease in Yanling County.

Hearing that they were going to go to the epidemic area, including Captain Zhechong, they were also beating drums in their hearts.

Who is not afraid of this disease?

If you are accidentally infected with the disease, the disease does not matter whether you are the heavenly king, Lao Tzu or ordinary people.

Li Wangyou naturally saw the hesitation of the three of them, so he smiled and comforted: "You don't need to worry too much, you just need to guard the city gate and prohibit people from entering and leaving, that is a great achievement. This Marquis will not let you wait Going like this, have you seen this thing on this Marquis? This thing is called a mask, and it is specially used to isolate the disease. Wearing this thing, you don’t need to worry about being infected with the disease.”

Regarding Li Wangyou's words, Captain Zhechong and Captain Guoyi looked at each other. Although they didn't speak, the meaning revealed in their eyes was that no one believed it. The little white thing in Li Wangyou's hand, It will be able to isolate the disease.

Seeing that the three of them didn't believe it, Li Wangyou rolled his eyes, and said, "Haven't you heard of this Marquis's ability?"

Captain Zhechong and the other three looked at each other again, but this time they all nodded: "Of course, I have heard of many abilities of Lord Hou. Even though I am in Xuzhou, I have heard of Lord Hou's great power."

"To tell you the truth, this mask is not an ordinary thing, but a treasure made by the Marquis with the magic power of the fairy family. Wearing this mask will prevent all poisons from invading."

Li Wangyou's words were purely deceitful, but in order to reassure the soldiers of Xuzhou's Zhechong Mansion to blockade Yanling County, he had no choice but to do so.

What he said made Captain Zhechong and Captain Guoyi somewhat skeptical.

Xuzhou is not too far away from Chang'an, so they have heard about the things in Chang'an city.As for the ability of the Lord Hou in front of him, he has also heard of it.
