prince attendant

Yunying nodded and said

"Yes, Doctor Hua told you to shout that, he is also in the state capital."

But near the state capital, they heard one after another howling in agony, piercing their ears, making people frightened, not like human voices, but like the roar of monsters.

As soon as they saw the road in front of the state capital, more people guarded them, but their eyes were very wary. If it wasn't for Yunying who followed by, they might really want to attack Mu Qing.

Before Mu Qing entered the state capital, a person ran out crookedly in front of him. Before Mu Qing had time to defend himself, another person rushed out from the door, holding a sword in his hand. In the blink of an eye, the sword He pierced the back of the man who escaped, and fell to the ground, but he was still writhing crazily, making a heck sound in his mouth, his hands showing sharp black nails, and they drew a series of marks on the ground. He stared at Mu Qing with his eyes, as if he saw some delicious prey. If he hadn't been stopped, he might have killed him.

Mu Qing froze on the spot for a moment, then heard footsteps, raised her head and saw Hua Jiang coming out of the door with her hands on her shoulders, waved her hands, and the man was dragged back, leaving a trail of blood on the ground.

He was about to go back, but stopped again, turned his head and looked at Mu Qing, with surprise in his eyes, as if he didn't expect Mu Qing to appear in this place.

"Why are you in the city?"

Mu Qing raised her forehead and said

"I came back from the capital, and I couldn't rest assured, so—"

"So you come to die?"

Mu Qing: ...

Hua Jiang frowned, lowered his head and coughed twice, then covered his shoulders, and said to him again

"Since you are entering the city, come here first. You are really bold and reckless. People outside the city should be punished. They say that no one is allowed to enter the city, and you will be let in."

Mu Qing followed him into the state capital, but it has changed a lot, everything has been removed, it is full of herbal medicine books to dry, and people locked in chains.

In addition, there are many people with similar clothes, Hua Jiang recommended them, they are people from Cao Mu Ting in the rivers and lakes, who are good at medical skills, and they came here through the introduction of a true Taoist priest to help deal with this strange disease.

Seeing Mu Qing go in, Qiqi, who was locked up, broke free again, made shaking noises, and was knocked unconscious.

As soon as Hua Jiang tore off his coat, he saw the blackened wound, which was scratched by the Gu who broke free just now. Besides, there were many old and new wounds superimposed, and it seemed that this was not the first time he was caught hurt.

Then someone hurried over to help him treat the wound, and someone picked up a medicine jar on the stove and poured out a dark and bitter medicine.

Mu Qing looked around, feeling devastated, and the people here also looked at him with guarded and curious eyes.

Mu Qing looked around the state capital, but didn't see anyone else, so she asked a little strangely.

"What about them, Your Highness?"

Huajiang Road

"His Highness is not in the city, he has gone to the mountains."

Mu Qing raised her head to look at Hua Jiang, and asked doubtfully

"But didn't Qingliu say that he is in the city, what is he doing in the mountains at this time?"

"Nangong Yimeng lied to His Highness."

Hua Jiang glanced at him, drank the pitch-black medicine in the bowl, frowned, and continued

"This city is already rotten. Nine out of ten people in the city have been bewitched. Do you remember that girl Jin?"

Mu Qing nodded, Hua Jiang said

"She was bitten."

Mu Qing's eyes widened, she couldn't believe it for a moment

"what?!"

Hua Jiang went on to say

"I was bitten by someone who seemed normal, but there was an abnormality. It turned out to be the poison that was introduced into it. When I was looking for the reason, the prince committed suicide by taking poison late at night, saying that he had done something irreparable. I made a mistake, I apologized with death, and many letters with Nangong Yimeng were sent to His Highness. There were many things written about doing experiments. It said that it could teach people to revive the dead and return to life. Now it seems that it is not about bringing the dead back to life. The elixir is a nightmare of turning life into death.

His Highness sent people to surround Liumeng Villa, Nangong Yimeng was forced into a desperate situation, and gave a prescription, which he said could relieve the symptoms.In order to prevent fraud, I asked someone to test it. The Jin girl took the medicine and showed signs of improvement for the first three days. However, at night on the third day, she suddenly changed her appearance. She was more crazy than before, and no one knew her. On the fourth day, I woke up again, but I completely forgot what I had done. Moreover, my body was very weak, and my pulse came and went. At night, it broke out again. Day and night alternated. , and Liumeng Villa is empty, Nangong Yimeng has disappeared, he fled to the mountains, and after he left, the poisonous disaster broke out in the city, attacking people indiscriminately, wading through the water and saying that in the mountain forest The voice changes, which can confuse the Gu worms in people's body. "

"However, there were strange noises in the forest, and it was completely impossible to chase into the destruction. Only young people under the age of 12 could resist a little, so the prince took twenty figures selected from Tianyu Qingqi and Qiandiaojin The vigorous young man, together with the wading girl, had already gone to the forest. Before leaving, he asked General Huan to lead people to cut out a blank passage around the forest, and said that if they didn't come back within a month, they would set it on fire. Lin, after all, no one knows how many people in the forest have already obeyed Nangong Yimeng."

When Mu Qing heard the last word, she almost felt that she had heard it wrong.

"What do you mean?"

Hua Jiang looked at him, although it was very difficult and cruel for this, but he still said

"Your Highness said that if they don't show up in January, they will ask the people outside to burn down the entire forest. This order will be issued by you when you come back."

"What order, let me give it!"

Mu Qing only felt dizzy for a while, he staggered two steps, and then murmured

"Aren't you the smartest who asked you to take people there in person? If you want me, you are really, really—"

What a cruel heart.

Mu Qing had to sit on a chair beside her so that she would not fall to the ground in embarrassment.

He suddenly raised his head to look at Huazheng, hoping that he was joking with himself

"It's not that only young people can resist, so how does His Highness get in—"

"The wading girl sealed his hearing with her own blood."

Hua Jiang answered the question, paused, and then said

"Actually, among the crowd who went, there are still young people here. If His Highness doesn't follow, who will go, so that these young people can be stabilized."

"That can't, can't..."

Mu Qing wanted to say that His Royal Highness would not be able to put himself in danger, but even the Fujun was afraid of dying. This kind of hope is vague, like an act of courting death, not to mention a firm-willed adult would hesitate, let alone this young man people.

He couldn't help resenting Ji Yi in his heart, saying that he would leave everything to himself, but I don't know anything, let me handle something.

Could it be that he was required to dispose of the remains of the corpse? He came to the city to find Ji Yi, not to hear people say that he would personally burn him to death!

Mu Qing's heart was in chaos, and in the midst of anger and anger, he thought absurdly and angrily, it would be better if everything was in chaos, and it would be best if the closed city was opened, and he didn't care about anything, so he went to the mountains to find someone to live Or die, it all depends on the destiny.

But with such ambition in his heart, Mu Qing took a step or two angrily, and bumped into the leaders from all over the place who came to report the situation. He probably heard the news of his arrival and wanted to see him, and there were many things , Waiting for a person to make a decision.

Whether it is inside or outside the city, there are human lives everywhere, and dilemmas are everywhere.

Mu Qing met their eyes, was silent for a moment, then sighed and said

"Come in and tell me, I just came back today, and I hurried to the city again, please be more careful."

So every word and deed, every question and answer, I don't know whether it is duplicity, or I can't bear it.

After everyone left, they walked into the courtyard and looked at the sky above their heads, only then did they realize that the night had passed like this.

And that's just the beginning.

Hua Jiang stood behind him and looked at him for a long time before Mu Qing turned around, gave him a forced smile, and said

"I almost forgot that Qingliu was still waiting for me outside the city. I went out of the city first. If there is something wrong here, I will come back to discuss with everyone in a day. If it is really urgent, I can send a message outside the city."

Mu Qing's return seems to have found an outlet for everyone's increasingly tense nerves, and also found a reason to escape for the decision of life and death.

Since he is the person appointed by Ji Yi, all the things that he doesn't want to face can be left to him to decide. Although he is still too young, but at this point, being young is no longer an excuse to shirk.

Mu Qing lived day by day, and what he faced every day was how many people died, how many people escaped, how many people were going to be killed, and how many people were going to live. Only then did he realize that His Royal Highness asked him to recite the names and official positions of those people. He had already planned for this moment.

But he has no qualifications for the various deployments he has to face every day. He said that he was appointed by the prince, but he is young and not very convincing, so he has various verbal confrontations or noises every day. After the verbal abuse, everyone is full of hardships. At first, Mu Qing couldn't bear it, but he was weak and worried, but in the end he complained and couldn't satisfy any of them. Finally, he couldn't bear it anymore, so he threw the case and smashed the cup , Let yourself be ruthless, only to force the personnel from all parties to fight if they are not in front of him

But this kind of cycle goes on and on every day, sleeping for less than an hour, and the dream is full of adjustments, making Mu Qing almost numb. He feels that one of himself has become two, and one maintains a delicate and fragile balance like a spider's thread among the crowd. , who wants to do well but always feels too cruel or cowardly, while the other one is floating in the air, trying to escape but unable to escape.

However, after suffering until the appointed time, there was still no news. Almost everyone was thinking about the order to set fire to the mountain that the prince said in their hearts, but no one dared to mention this order.

It dragged on for another four or five days before talking about the mountain forest.

Mu Qing wanted to turn a blind eye, but everything was exhausted here, and the daily food was not enough, so she couldn't wait any longer.

Under the gaze of everyone, there was silence for a long time before he opened his mouth and said

"burn."

"Master Mu!"

"It's better to wait..."

Half of the people below are cronies cultivated by Huan Xin, and half are Tianyu controlled by Honghu. Now all of them, although they were ordered a long time ago, they can't stick to it anymore, and they want to settle it quickly, but thinking There are many people among them, and the prince is also among them, no one wants to light this fire, no one wants to be the villain who kills the master.
