I handed in the sand sculpture through the book system

With the blessing of the Venerable's great power, it is naturally effortless to unravel and unravel.But after a short while, the smoke cleared and there was silence on the embankment, only the morning wind roared past.

So Wang Zhi smiled all over his face, clapped his hands immediately, signaled Master Huixuan to speak on the stage, and calmed down the innocent believers who were deceived. Waguan Temple has long enjoyed a good reputation both inside and outside Jiankang. Prestige, acting as a buffer between the Hengyang Palace and the indigenous people.

Although this intention was not clearly stated, Master Huixuan himself was very clear about it. Originally, he was thinking about the current power of the Hengyang Palace, and a little cooperation was just an advance bet; Stepping forward, he glanced at the completely unrecognizable pieces of meat on the embankment. He felt the cold air from head to toe, and his mind was empty, but he couldn't think of a good sentence.He racked his brains and thought over and over again, before he stammered out the prepared words...

Although the sentence is not complete, but Venerable Gatling's magic power is vast, far-reaching and boundless, and the people around him who were bewitched were immediately moved, convinced, and even cried bitterly.Probably will never be involved with any witchcraft again.

With this successful precedent, Wang Zhi's next work will be much easier.According to the prepared list, they visited many "primitive religious groups" that have been more active in the past few days one by one, and then adopted different plans based on the attitude of the other party.If the crime is not serious, you can be frank and lenient; if you are stubborn, then I would like to ask the leader of the gang to leave immediately, discuss carefully with their gods in person, and understand the spirit of King Hengyang's instructions...

——Anyway, the old Ximen Leopard has already entered the coffin, so it is impossible to jump out and ask for copyright fees.

They were rushing back and forth all afternoon, and before Venerable Gatling used his mana a few times, most of the list had already been ticked off.Seeing that the sun was gradually setting towards the west, Wang Zhi finally waved his hand and signaled everyone to turn their horses and go back to the city to rest.

When he was about to enter the city gate, Wang Zhi looked up at the city gate, turned his head suddenly, smiled at the pale Hui Xuan, and bowed with palms together on horseback:

"It's really hard to go back and forth today. The master can help me, and everyone in the palace is grateful."

Huixuan hurriedly returned the gift, only saying that his duty was incumbent, and that he didn't make an inch of merit in accompanying him all the way, but he was just trying his best.Wang Zhi's smile didn't change, but he changed the subject, saying that His Royal Highness the King of Hengyang also deeply felt the great help from Waguan Temple, so he was going to visit the temple whenever he had time.

Hearing this, Huixuan was overjoyed at once - the King of Hengyang's visit was equivalent to the court's initiative to release goodwill; Waguan Temple can be closely linked with the powerful, and his hard work today is not in vain...

He had been planning for a long time, but before he could open his mouth to express his gratitude, he listened to the question in the words of the royal official, and opened his mouth again:

"...However, His Highness has not set foot in the temple for a long time, so it is inevitable that he is a little confused about the etiquette, so I need to ask the master to give you some advice."

Huixuan was caught off guard, and was greatly surprised: the northern and southern dynasties worshiped and believed in profound methods, and it was common for people to practice things in temples.Besides, King Hengyang grew up in the palace since he was a child, and he didn't know how many scenes he saw, so how could he be "confused"?He thought over and over again, carefully clasped his hands together, and said that of course there is no customary etiquette in Fangwai, but why is His Highness confused?

Wang Zhi smiled slightly, but his gaze fell on Hui Xuan's face.

"—That's it." He said in a manly voice, "Our Highness has a rough etiquette, so we don't quite understand: after he enters the temple, if he sees various gods, should he bow down at that time?"

With such an understatement in his tone, Wang Zhi lowered his head slightly, but his bright eyes fell on Master Huixuan's face without blinking, staring intently at every inch of this master's face.Although he worked hard all afternoon, Master Ji Huixuan's body was wet with sweat, dry and wet again, until now there was no sweat to shed.But being swept away by such seemingly unintentional eyes, his pupils still constricted instantly, and there was something shiny on his forehead again.

After staring at each other for a while, Master Huixuan finally bowed slowly on the horseback and folded his palms together.

"The present Buddha does not worship the past Buddha." The master's face was solemn and his tone was solemn, as if he was declaring the supreme Lunyin: "This is the ritual system."

·

At the moment when Wang Zhi led the people to wipe out the witchcraft and sorcery, the plague situation in Jiankang City also gradually changed.After the isolation and cleaning at all costs, the transmission of the plague has basically been cut off, so the number of new confirmed cases has decreased rapidly, and the death rate has also gradually decreased; in addition, the first batch of recovered patients were discharged from the hospital one by one, and the atmosphere in the city was relaxed. , It is no longer the jittery scene of the past few days.

The situation in the city has gradually dawned, and the advisory group can also spare a little energy to pay attention to the spread of plague bacteria outside Jiankang City.Based on the data analysis since the outbreak of the plague, this time the ferocious new variant of the bacteria should be the product of the fighting between the northern and southern armies—the northern army carried pathogens born from the grasslands during the southern expedition, hybridized and mixed with the native southern germs, and then Both sides of the Yangtze River broke out at the same time.Among them, Jiankang is the key to the communication between the north and the south, so it was particularly poisoned.

Since it is such an outbreak process, it is a few important military towns that need to be focused on.In the past few days, the advisory team has been patrolling both sides of the Yangtze River with drones, and has not found any signs of a large-scale spread of the plague. It seems that their epidemic prevention measures are still timely, and the germs have not had time to spread widely.The situation is fairly manageable.

Of course, there are also factors of restlessness hidden in the controllable situation - more than ten years ago, in order to disintegrate the coalition forces in various places in the Southern Dynasties, the advisory team kidnapped Zhao Heng, the governor of Yanzhou, and forced him to send letters to contact the rebellious princes of various states, and gathered in Yanzhou for discussion. The "big event" of the alliance, and intends to capture the thief and the king at the party, and wipe out the leaders of the rebel army.Unexpectedly, just after the plan was implemented, the plague had already broken out, and the advisory group could only instruct Zhao Heng to send another letter, informing the princes to postpone the trip, "Next time."

Originally, it was extremely justified to postpone the meeting on the grounds of the plague, but the advisory group had done all their calculations, but they only ignored Zhao Heng and Zhao Shishi's previous convictions. Repeatedly refusing to cooperate with various excuses, and now the attitude has just changed, when the governors of various places are excited, but then there is another "next time"...

——A pigeon spirit's "next time must be" often inspires not understanding, but fury that almost adds fuel to the fire.

In general, after this letter was sent by the fast horse, the intelligence received by the advisory group showed that the princes of the states did not show any signs of pausing to wait and see. It seems to be going to Yanzhou to settle old scores with old pigeons before forming an alliance and rebellion.

During the epidemic, a large-scale movement of people was even organized, which was to drill into the latrine with a flashlight.Naturally, the advisory group's scalp was numb and their spirits were tense, but due to the situation, they couldn't take a ruthless hand, so they had to find ways to temporarily contain the governors of the states by peaceful means.This job is not easy, so the consultant team slandered in their hearts, and almost sprayed the pigeon blood on the head.

·

If the premeditated gathering of princes from all over the country is just a hidden worry about the epidemic prevention situation.Then, with the rapid easing of the epidemic situation on both sides of the North and South Straits, all kinds of conflicts that were suppressed in the past have recovered, and a large number of accidents have also sprouted rapidly, and even completely exceeded the control of the traversers.

At noon on the 27th, Mu Chen discussed with his consultants many things about economic recovery and farming arrangements after the epidemic, and was planning to invite everyone to stay for lunch, when suddenly he heard the beeping of his mobile phone, and Xiang Liang's message popped up quickly Face.

According to the previous regulations, Xiang Liang, Zhang Yao and other troops stationed in the North were in charge of epidemic prevention. Considering the load of the temporary base station, apart from the regular daily video reports, Mu Chen's mobile phone could only be connected in emergency situations.Now that the bell rang, the faces of everyone present naturally changed.Before Mu Chen could ask any questions, Xiang Liang looked serious on the screen, and dropped a bomb as soon as he opened his mouth:

"We received a report that several eunuchs escaped from the isolation camp on horseback." He spoke quickly: "After receiving the news, Zhang Yao immediately checked the environmental samples and found that some of these eunuchs had already been infected with the plague!"

This news was so horrifying that everyone present immediately stood up from their seats, with horror on their expressions.Mu Chen subconsciously grabbed the phone, her voice changed:

"What about people?"

"I didn't catch it." Xiang Liang shook his head: "When the notification was received, these people had already fled for more than half an hour, and they really couldn't catch up. We applied for a drone patrol, but the target of one person and one horse is too small, I'm afraid ..."

Don't be afraid, Mu Chen only felt his throat hoarse, but his heart seemed to be filled with ice water, and he couldn't speak for a while.Wang Zhi who was nearby stretched out his hand to open the chair for him to sit down, but asked in a deep voice:

"Why did the eunuch run away? Haven't you already controlled the barracks?"

The corner of Xiang Liang's mouth twitched slightly, his expression filled with bitterness.

"——This is our mistake." He whispered: "We thought that after deterring King Qi and senior generals, the barracks were close to control. But we didn't expect the influence of the royal family... These eunuchs are the emperor's confidantes , I have also cultivated a little cronies in the army. Although it is not enough to shake the situation, it is not difficult to escape by taking the opportunity..."

Wang Zhi opened his mouth, but in the end he couldn't say anything—Xiang Liang blamed himself, saying it was his own mistake, but in the final analysis, was it because the advisory team didn't think well?At the beginning of planning, they did consider the influence of the emperor.But from beginning to end, he didn't care too much.The decline of imperial power in the Northern Dynasties is well known throughout the world. Even if the emperor is dissatisfied with them, he is determined to be powerless to hinder the overall situation of fighting the epidemic.

But judging from the current situation, they are dead wrong.The emperor's influence is indeed not enough to stop the action, but the recklessness of the emperor's cronies can cause them unimaginable trouble!

Wang Zhi's heart raced, but he still couldn't understand: let alone how dangerous it is to flee alone from the army; even if he escaped by chance, it would be a felony of abandoning the army and fleeing.There is no conflict of interest between the anti-epidemic and the eunuchs. Why are they running?

"These eunuchs—" Wang Zhi gritted his teeth, "—why did they run away?"

Xiang Liang was taken aback for a moment, but a wry smile appeared on his lips.

"...We can't understand it either." He shook his head and said, "Indeed—it was King Qi who gave an explanation. He told us that the political struggles in the Northern Dynasties have become more intense in the past few years, and that each other has become reckless. These eunuchs I don’t know anything about military affairs, and the reason why I was ordered to be this imperial envoy is nothing more than the fact that the military power is tight, and I just watched him for the emperor... But after more than ten days of monitoring, what they saw with their own eyes is a bit..."

Wang Zhi blurted out: "Something?"

Before he finished speaking, his mind was already flashing with lightning speed—in the past few days, there have been many different phases in the camp of the Northern Army, and there are fairy shadows appearing again, and the messengers of immortals, and the shadow of the Hengyang Palace is looming behind... ...How could such a powerful and powerful king with a different surname be surrounded by so many auspicious omens?unless—unless—

Wang Zhi sucked in a breath of air, and a piece of "24 Historical Records" was churning in his heart, and it was already a metaphor in an instant.

"They suspect..." Wang Zhi said softly, "Are they suspecting that King Qi is plotting something wrong and trying to usurp the throne?"

Xiang Liang nodded silently, but did not speak.

·

After the eunuch's purpose of fleeing was revealed, the development of the situation became clear at a glance - presumably when the advisory team went to war that day and used fairy shadows to intimidate the northern army, the eunuchs accompanying the army were already suspicious and fearful, so there was such a thing as following with eyeliner.Now that they are suddenly "isolated and observed", it is not surprising that they were greatly stimulated in a hurry and ran away with their lives.

According to the news given by King Qi, after these eunuchs fled, they must have rushed to Xuzhou nearby, and urgently sent the news of usurping the throne to the capital.Xuzhou is only two hundred miles away from the military camp, and it only takes a day and a night for a galloping horse to gallop.In other words, it is enough to rush to Xuzhou during the incubation period and send in the deadliest pathogens!

"We have ordered the armed drones to hang high outside the city of Xuzhou, and we will act immediately when we see this group of people." Xiang Liang said: "But Xuzhou is too big, and the royal family has been operating it for a long time. I'm afraid..."

He didn't speak these words, but everyone could already understand: How could the eunuch sent by the emperor to monitor the powerful officials be a dull and unscrupulous person?Cross-dressing, secret passage, disguise, there are countless ways to hide.How difficult is it to find a needle in a haystack today? !

Mu Chen pondered for a moment, and could only ask, "Where is King Qi? Does he have anything to do?"

"Xuzhou has always been guarded by the clan, and the king of Qi has no plans here." Xiang Liang said: "And...the matter of imperial power is the most important. As long as the eunuchs can report to the city, they will be closely guarded and difficult to approach. Xuzhou has At the post station, we can expedite the eight hundred li immediately and send these eunuchs back to Beijing."

There was silence inside and outside the screen, and in the end it was Bei Yan who spoke coldly:

"By the way, also expedite the plague eight hundred miles and send it to Beijing?"

No one replied to his words, but everyone was in an extremely bad mood.Once these eunuchs took the risk to escape, the hard-working epidemic prevention situation for more than ten days would be completely collapsed-even if there was no accelerated transmission speed of [-] miles.Just one place in Xuzhou is enough to make the advisory group fall into a nightmare-this place is the hub of the Central Plains, once the germs spread out of control, the whole world may be in a state of chaos!

The current situation is extremely dangerous, but the situation is so urgent.Everyone stood around the round table in a daze, but their thoughts were still spinning and turning, but they were still unable to make a plan.After staring at each other for a while, Wang Zhi finally got up from the table, looked around slowly, and spoke solemnly.

"The matter has come to this point, we can no longer hesitate." He said word by word: "The great conduct does not care about the details, and the great gifts do not hesitate to make small concessions. At an extraordinary time, I am afraid that an extraordinary plan must be done!"

·

Ten minutes later, King Qi's face appeared on the screen.

Perhaps it was because he had never seen such a weird object before, and King Qi's expression was a little strange for a moment.But Mu Chen didn't have the time to introduce. He glanced to confirm that the connection was normal, and immediately made an announcement:

"The organization has already studied and decided, and you will be the emperor of the Northern Dynasty!"

This sentence was earth-shattering, and the face on the other side of the screen froze immediately.In the Northern and Southern Dynasties, usurping the throne and persuading him to advance was more common than drinking water, but since Zulong founded the emperor, there has never been such a rude, direct and uneducated "persuading him" since ancient times!Even though King Qi was in a high position and well-informed, he was also stunned by these words and couldn't even remember the traditional routine of three words and three concessions.

However, the traversers didn't have the same emotions. Waiting for him to adjust his mentality and perform the established process of the superior, Wang Zhi even glanced at the screen vaguely, intending to save the video and send it to the psychological department for analysis of micro-expressions-he pondered over and over again, and finally He felt that although the eunuch's escape happened suddenly this time, King Qi stood by and watched, but he might not have taken advantage of his strength to take advantage of the opportunity to rise to power.

But now that Wu and Yue are in the same boat, I don't even bother to care about so much.Wang Zhi cleared his throat and said calmly:

"His Royal Highness Qi, I wonder what you think about the superior process? Please rest assured, whether it is Hetu, Luoshu, Wordless Heavenly Book, Fish Belly Silk Book, or white fish, white snake, one-eyed man, and fox screaming at night, we are all responsible for it." It can be arranged. You are satisfied."

He thought about it carefully, and then added:

"—As for things like double pupils, four breasts, knee-length arms, parallel ribs, and parallel teeth, I'm afraid we'll have to wait a little longer. Plastic surgery still takes time."
