Chapter 160 People's questioning

  Back in the palace, Yu Yunxi asked Qianjiao and the others to take Jin'er back to the house to rest, and she wanted to go to the study with Shen Hezhi to discuss matters.

   "Song Cang, you have worked hard tonight, you should go and rest."

  Before going to the study, she did not forget to tell Song Cang to rest.

  When Song Cang heard the words, he immediately showed a silly smile: "Okay, I will go to rest now."

  Withdrawing her eyes, Yu Yunxi and Shen Hezhi came to the study.

   "Northern Xiao Kingdom has indeed sent their third prince, and the soldiers and horses of Nanyue Kingdom are countless, and their weapons have also improved a lot." Yu Yunxi said in a dignified tone.

  Listening to her words, Shen Hezhi's expression also became serious.

   "Did you run into them?" He asked worriedly.

   "Cough." Yu Yunxi coughed awkwardly, and then told what happened tonight.

  After listening to her words, Shen Hezhi's expression was extremely serious.

  He knew just how thrilling it was just from her description!

   "Xi'er, you..."

   "I know I was wrong, and I dare not act rashly in the future."

  Yu Yunxi knew his temperament very well, and knew that he must be very worried about her now, so she quickly admitted her mistake.

  Seeing her attitude, Shen Hezhi heaved a sigh of relief, and his tone could no longer be serious.

  He said in a deep voice: "You, you always put other things first, and then your safety."

   "Brother Yi, why aren't you?" Yu Yunxi muttered in a muffled voice.

  Back then, his body was not that weak.

  If it wasn’t for protecting the people in the Southwest, he would fight to the death with the South Vietnamese Army...

  Thinking of this, Yu Yunxi's eyes flashed a little lonely.

Not wanting to continue this heavy topic, Shen Hezhi changed the topic, "So, the Northern Xiao Kingdom may not really want to start a war, they must have other entanglements behind the scenes, if we can find out, maybe we can stop the Northern Xiao Kingdom .”

   "That's right." Yu Yunxi nodded, she also had this idea.

   "Also, you just said that there is a ghost beside the father?" When he said this, Shen Hezhi's eyes and tone were extremely cold.

  What he and his father hated the most in this life were traitors.

   "Although I'm not sure, it's very possible. We still have to search the city for the next few days, just because we're afraid that the gunpowder will be brought in." Yu Yunxi frowned.

  Shen Hezhi's eyes darkened, and he nodded: "I will let Wenyuan and the others search the city as soon as possible."

   "Recently, because some people have been locked up, the people in the city are in panic. The search of the city must be carried out secretly."

  Yu Yunxi said seriously.

  Shen Hezhi nodded: "Yes."

   "By the way, our people found out that Feng Yili and Luo Xiuran have arrived in Jiangcheng." Shen Hezhi suddenly mentioned this matter.

  Hearing the name "Feng Yili", Yu Yunxi's expression turned cold.

   "I'll put everyone on alert and never give him another chance to deal with us." Clenching her fists, Yu Yunxi said in a cold voice.

  Seeing her like this, Shen Hezhi knew that this time she hated Shangfeng Yili in her heart.

   Sighing in his heart, he didn't say anything more.

  Because of Feng Yili's actions, he was undoubtedly telling everyone that he was going to be an enemy of the Southwest Palace.

   So what if they were against him?

   "Okay, you are exhausted today, go back and rest first, and leave the rest of the matter to me, including the envoys from the capital tomorrow, I will deal with them."

   "Are the envoys from the capital? Are there any reinforcements?" Yu Yunxi asked suspiciously.

   "There is no reinforcements, only a civil servant, probably the emperor's eyeliner, to monitor us." Shen Hezhi shook his head.

"who?"

  Yu Yunxi asked seriously.

  The imperial court disappointed them too much. Since they don't plan to help Southwest, it's fine if their envoys don't come in at the gate of Southwest.

  However, she still wanted to know who the emperor had entrusted this thankless task to at this critical moment.

   "Xu Zhiyan." Shen Hezhi said in a deep voice.

  Xu Zhiyan?

  Yu Yunxi had thought of the names of many ministers in her mind, but Xu Zhiyan was the only one who didn't think of it.

   But she soon understood.

  She sneered: "This is a hot potato. Everyone knows that the emperor's move has completely offended the Southwest. Anyone who comes to the Southwest will have no good fruit. At this time, Xu Zhiyan was just pushed out."

  Xu Zhiyan has no foundation in the court, and he offended many people because of his remonstrance.

   Everyone sent him to "send his death".

  Frowning, Yu Yunxi said softly: "He is my friend, and the Southwest door must be opened to him. But I am not suitable to meet him."

  Her identity is sensitive now, if she went to meet Xu Zhiyan openly, the news would be bad for Xu Zhiyan when the news spread back to the capital.

   "I understand." Shen Hezhi nodded, with a plan in mind.

  …

  The next day.

  Xu Zhiyan's team arrived outside the city gate, and Shen Hezhi took people to meet them.

   And Yu Yunxi received the news that a family in the city was sick.

  She lifted the medicine box and was about to go outside.

  When she was about to get on the horse and leave, Song Cang appeared beside her.

   "County, county lord, our manager said that I will follow you and protect you." He said with a serious face.

  Yu Yunxi was taken aback.

   Uncle Shan probably thought she would borrow someone for a long time, so he told her so.

  However, this Song Cang is capable.

   Now that the battle is tense, Qianjiao and the others have been transferred to the barracks, and there is no one available around her, so Song Cang can follow.

   "Okay, you follow." She said softly.

  Song Cang looked happy, and hurriedly brought a horse, got on the horse quickly, and set off with her.

  That family is in a small alley in the east of the city.

  When Yu Yunxi arrived here, there were already many people gathered here.

   "Everyone, hurry back to your home."

  Seeing this, she immediately gave a serious reminder.

   It is not yet determined whether it is a plague, but it must be unsafe for the people to gather here.

   "Master, that Qiuzi and his family are in great pain, please help them quickly." The surrounding people said anxiously.

  Yu Yunxi nodded.

  It seems that this family has done a good job in dealing with people, otherwise, so many people would not care about them.

  Since these people were unwilling to return to their own houses, Yu Yunxi couldn't force them, so she could only let them back away a little, and then she walked into the house of that person named "Qiuzi".

  The room is small, but it is cleaned and things are neatly arranged.

   In Yunxi's sight, there were three fallen people, two adults and a child.

   "Master, please save my child."

  Everyone in this city knew Yu Yunxi. Seeing her coming, the woman begged with red eyes.

   "Don't come close." After Yu Yunxi seriously told Song Cang, she walked to the side of the three people without any precautions.

  She felt the pulse of the child first, and then the two adults.

  They were hot, coughing constantly, and their pulse was extremely weak.

  She quickly fed them medicine, but she didn't see them pretending to be in good condition.

  Her heart sank slightly...

   No ordinary wind chill.

   I'm afraid it's the same as those people who were locked up.

  She took a look at this room, and it was almost close to the rest of the room.

  If these three people are kept here, their safety will not be guaranteed, and other people may be affected.

  So, she patiently asked the woman: "Are you willing to follow the county lord to go to other places for treatment?"

   But before the woman could respond, behind her, the crowd watching suddenly made a sarcasm—

   "Does the county lord let them go to other places for treatment, or lock them up and burn them together when the time comes?"

  Yu Yunxi frowned at the other party's words, she turned her head quickly, her sharp eyes swept across the crowd.

   But before she had time to find the man, the people caused a commotion.

   "Master, is it true? Is it true that if you get sick, you will be burned to death?"

   "The body, hair, skin and skin of the parents, who have to be buried decently after death, how can they be burned?"

   "What are you talking about? It would be fine if he died and was burned, but didn't you hear it just now? He was going to be burned alive."

   "This, this is too cruel."

   "..."

  Listening to what they said, Yu Yunxi felt a little headache, she said helplessly: "Everyone, calm down."

   "Calm down? How can the county lord tell us to calm down? The city has lost so many people for no reason. It seems that the palace hasn't given us an explanation yet."

  Suddenly, someone in the crowd yelled out such words again.

   Soon, the people became anxious again.

   "Yes, my mother said two days ago that she would go to the Southwest Palace for treatment, but there is no news yet."

   "And my dad, I don't even know where you took him!"

   "And Aunt Sun next door to me..."

   They all blushed and asked loudly.

   "Could it be that the rumors about the plague are true, and the palace is going to sacrifice them?"

   "But those are all living lives, county magistrate, how can you calm down?"
