Wear to the Middle Ages to engage in construction

"But what are you going to do? You saved Wright, will you..." Before Tang Feiliu finished speaking, Edward patted his hand reassuringly, and said, "I didn't save him, it was His Majesty Josephine." .”

The prince was dismissed by His Majesty as a weak and useless waste, but compared to Charlie's cruel and arrogant character, Wright's softness still made His Majesty Josephine unbearable. Try to let him live.

That country, that arranged country, is a very beautiful place, where there are large expanses of gardens and meadows, the river flows through the fruit trees in the forest, there are pink peaches in spring, and sweet and sour peaches in summer. Berries, the fragrance of wine in autumn, dead branches and snow all over the mountains in winter, when the ice in the pond is broken, the fish will jump out by themselves.

There is everything suitable for an ordinary person. People in high positions can enjoy sweet and beautiful fruits, fat and tender fish meat, and the comfort of a beautiful body...then they will always bear the despair that ordinary people cannot bear. and pain.

And Wright didn't fit into any of that.

It's a pity that he didn't know that it was a rare kindness from His Majesty Josephine, but he still rushed out just to ask the answer.

Of course, it's up to him to decide whether it's worth it or not.

After all, no one knows exactly what happened that year. What happened to Wright when Danny died?After that, what did His Majesty Josephine do to make Wright so attached to his mother's love for him, as if a desperate person found the only light.

But that was just a coincidence, just like a lioness would not pamper her cubs to stay by her side forever, everything Wright prayed for would not happen in this royal family.

Edward didn't know much about all this. If he wanted to, he could of course find out all the past, but what help would it do?

Edward didn't want to do such meaningless things. Of course, he has always been favored by His Majesty Josephine, which probably has something to do with his not overly curious attitude.

"Don't be sad," Edward patted Tang Feiliu's hand, and when he heard someone approaching, he saw his knight commander approaching, nodded, and said to Tang Feiliu, "Let's go pick your brother up to rest first, why not?" Sample?"

"Found it?" Tang Feiliu immediately relaxed. Seeing Edward nodding, he didn't want to continue to indulge in those irreversible past events. He quickly got up and urged, "Then let's go quickly."

Alexander is eating dessert right now, paired with cider.

His heart is very complicated.

He has been to the imperial city several times.After all, sometimes a little gentleman may get some ball invitations from the nobles of the imperial city. This is a very precious social opportunity. It may be a happy event to meet some unmarried ladies whose families have declined but have a noble status. marriage.

Of course, this kind of thing rarely happens.

After all, aristocratic ladies with declining family fortunes are very sought-after because of their noble status. For example, a gentleman like Alexander whose annual income from the manor is only fifty or sixty pounds, even noble ladies with high status may look down on them.

Of course, Alexander's net worth has doubled now, after all, he has a two-story dessert house in the best square in Black Swan!No one can imitate the things sold there. After deducting the 30.00% profit for his brother, he can still make a lot of money.

I have to say that the current businessmen are really rich!

And the black swan-like working class has terrible spending power. Alexander originally opened the store just because of his interest in desserts. Now that the income of the store has surpassed the income of the manor, he has become more and more serious about management.

…For example, now that he is kidnapped, he still remembers to ask the hotel boy to buy him the most popular cream cake and sparkling wine to eat back.

Of course, Alexander was so calm because the knight told him before leaving that he would be free after arriving here, but he needed to wait in this hotel, and he would ask Alexander's younger brother to pick him up.

In fact, Alexander was skeptical and wanted to run away. He walked out of the gate, and no one stopped him, but the money on his body could not be safely driven back to the black swan, so Alexander could only sit in the small bar on the first floor of the hotel, eating cream cake and drinking Sweet and sour sparkling wine, and watching everything on the street outside through the huge glass windows, trying to wait to see if what the knight said is true.

Although everything in the imperial city was prosperous, in Alexander's eyes, it seemed more than solemn, but not friendly enough.And especially, the people in the imperial city are still dressed in the old-fashioned way, and it is only half a month away from the black swan, but everything in the city seems to be separated from the black swan by an era.

Someone passed by next to it, and there was a smell of not taking a bath for many years.

Alexander suffocated for a while, and felt that the sweet cream cake in his mouth was about to spit out. He swallowed several times before swallowing the cake in his mouth without rolling his eyes.

Then he drank uncomfortably.

Alexander thought of the milk tea his younger brother studied, the sweet and silky taste, the sweet and sour taste of the delicate apple pie, the black swan, the clean and tidy road, the huge square and the engraved black duke ride. There are fountains with horses, apartments for the second batch of workers that will be completed in the summer and several new urban roads, as well as huge urban public gardens and a series of activity centers.

And people's white clothes and soapy body odor.

I don't feel it when I'm in it, but once I leave, after comparison, I just feel that the place where I live now is not as good as the horse stable of the black swan.

A fivepence-a-night farmhouse is cleaner than a two-shilling hotel here!

What is even more unbearable is that because there are too many people in the imperial city, the pollution is too serious, and the river next to it smells like poop. Alexander felt that it was really difficult to go from extravagance to frugality. He stayed with the black swan in the countryside. There are so many people that I almost forget how scary the city outside is.

The excrement in this imperial city was almost flush with the city wall. You must know that the city wall was built by the order of the old emperor before his death, because he was afraid that the enemy would follow the excrement and cross the imperial city wall to attack.

Alexander didn't think much about this idea at first, but now that he has spent a lot of time with his brother, he feels very emotional in his heart.

And it is precisely because of this that in fact, drinking water is not allowed around the city. The imperial city has simple semi-finished water conservancy facilities, but there is no concept of attention, so all the dirty things are directly photographed in the river, causing the water in the river to You can't drink it, it smells so bad.

Except that the royal family has mountain spring water brought back from distant mountains every day, ordinary people can only choose to drink, because drinking water can easily cause stomach pains. Alexander didn't understand why before, but now he understands, because the water is not clean, and it is estimated that there are many bacteria in it. No wonder there were people who drank water and died before.

And just as Alexander was passing the time in a daze, he saw everyone on the corner of the street giving way, and then a gilded carriage was pulled by two white horses and ran straight over.

The black duke's logo was hung on the carriage. Alexander was still in astonishment when he saw the carriage stop all the way at the gate. Then, he saw a golden head poking out. Tang Feiliu opened his blue eyes wide and saw his brother, He waved his hand excitedly and rushed in.

Alexander was also very excited. Although he looked fine at the moment, when he was first kidnapped, he resisted desperately and wanted to escape. He was also punished by the damn knight. Now seeing his brother, Immediately, he was moved by the rest of his life. He hugged his younger brother and said emotionally, "Lance, did you come here specially to find me?"

"Yeah, brother, are you okay?" Tang Feiliu looked left and right excitedly, making sure that although Alexander was a little tired, he looked fine on the whole, and he immediately relaxed completely.

"I'm fine, fine." Alexander said, the tight strings were also relaxed, he sneezed twice, took a handkerchief to wipe, and then continued, "I'm just hungry and tired, and I want to take a bath." Take a bath and want to sleep for a while."

Although this is a hotel, Alexander was held hostage, how could he be able to fall asleep with a big heart, he ate, but his nerves did not relax, this relaxation made his whole body feel weak immediately, and he even started yawning.

"Let's go, go back first." Tang Feiliu hurriedly greeted his brother to get into the carriage.

Because he was taken away temporarily, Alexander had nothing on him, and he didn't have to bring luggage. Seeing his relatives at this time, why would he want to continue to delay time in this place? A group of people got into the carriage for a while, and Alexander was brought back to the Duke's house. In the residence of the imperial city, a low-grade fever developed that night.

Sneezing left tears, and his body was sore and low-grade fever... After Tang Feiliu discovered Alexander's symptoms, his heart skipped a beat. At that time, he thought that Alexander might have caught a cold. He quickly made Alexander drink a thick medicinal soup, and quickly wiped alcohol The temperature dropped, and he didn't go out at all for a few days, just staying at home to take care of Alexander.

During Alexander's high fever, Edward was urgently recruited and went to the palace overnight. When he came back, he hurriedly said to Tang Feiliu, "You have to go back to the black swan."

"What did you say? My brother hasn't completely recovered yet!" Tang Feiliu was stunned by Edward's words, afraid of waking Alexander who was still sleeping, Tang Feiliu walked outside the door and said to Edward, "What's the matter, Edward?"

"...Many people in the city are suffering from fever just like your brother, and what's even more frightening is that as long as someone gets close to them, they will catch a cold." Edward said hurriedly, "Every time this happened before, they would die. Many people, the situation is getting worse now, His Majesty Josephine has heard about Alexander, and today he is inquiring about Alexander's condition."

Tang Feiliu's heart tightened immediately. Illness is very scary in this era, especially infectious flu. There is no medicine and basic medical knowledge. The most terrifying thing is... Tang Feiliu held his hands and paced nervously , asked Edward: "Edward, tell me honestly, besides the same cold symptoms as my brother, do you have any other symptoms?"

It's just that the flu won't make these people so anxious. A cold has the possibility of self-healing. As long as there is no fever or inflammation, some people in particularly good health can even rely on their own immunity. Wonderful, Tang Feiliu's face was pale, he grabbed Edward and said eagerly: "Tell me everything, don't hide anything."

Don't be like what he thought, Tang Feiliu's nervous heart was about to spit out.

Edward said in a deep voice: "...Yes, if it's just a high or low fever, it won't make everyone so nervous, but the most important thing is that many people in the city now have sudden diarrhea, and then they will die alive. Now there have been many outbreaks. Such a disease, no one knows what is going on..."

Tang Feiliu let out a long breath. His face was pale and his legs were weak. If Edward hadn't supported him, Tang Feiliu would have almost fallen to the ground.

He said softly, "It's cholera...not the Black Death...cholera, cholera...no, there is no medicine for cholera..."

As he spoke, Tang Feiliu began to chatter nervously again.

"Lance, don't worry about these things. Get out of the city early tomorrow morning and leave here. I suspect it's because this place isn't clean enough. Many people have died from this disease before. Once it starts, it won't stop in a day or two. Lan Si Si, don't worry me, okay?" Edward said softly.He was very anxious, because Edward knew how bad this illusion of the imperial city was under the influence of being with Tang Feiliu for a long time. Edward was unwilling to bring Tang Feiliu out because he was confident that Tang Feiliu could get the best life in Black Swan level.

With Tang Feiliu's small body, Edward was very scared, he couldn't resist this kind of germ at all.

"Then will you leave with me?" Tang Feiliu asked Edward. Before Edward could answer, he said, "...If we don't help, many people will die here, right?"

"The nobles are packing their bags and planning to go back to the countryside," Edward looked at Tang Feiliu, touched his golden hair, and said softly, "I will try my best to help everyone, but you don't need to be here."

In fact, Tang Feiliu never imagined that one day, he would directly encounter the terrible germs second only to the plague in the Middle Ages. He worked so hard to build the black swan, and he worked so hard to clean up the cities and villages under Edward's rule... because, fundamentally speaking , Tang Feiliu was afraid of those terrible germs.

However, when this day really came, Tang Feiliu found that he was much more courageous.

"If it was the plague, I would definitely run away immediately..." Tang Feiliu said softly, "Because it is terrible, it cannot be prevented at all, and I don't know the problem and the reason... But I know this, and some people may still die, but I know what the reason is...can you tell His Majesty Josephine?"

Tang Feiliu once didn't know why he had such a mysterious and bizarre encounter, to see the splendid and magnificent civilization of the later generations, but at this moment, he looked at Edward in front of him, and he thought, maybe it was not because of him alone. , but for the entire space-time.

Give this time and space that is still stumbling, still trying to explore, how to live, how to live better, so that it can take immature steps and lead everyone to pursue happiness.
