"Brother, ahead is Xindu, the seat of Jizhou's state government."
Jizhou Prefecture was originally located in Ha County of Changshan County, but during the Ling Emperor's period it was changed to Xindu. Since the Yellow Turban Army has invaded all parts of Jizhou, Xindu has become a relatively safe place.
The official road, which was not spacious, was crowded with people fleeing the war. From Xindu to Dongcheng County, Linhuai County, Lu Su's hometown, everything was normal. At the current speed, it would take at least half a month to reach Dongcheng County.
As luck would have it, Zhao Feng, Lu Su, Cai Yan, Pang Ming, and Xue Hui had just entered Xindu and before they could find a place to stay, the vanguard of the Yellow Turban Army rushed to the gates of Xindu City.
The city was in chaos because there were no officials to direct it. Fortunately, the soldiers guarding the city gate closed the city gate in time, which did not lead to greater chaos.
Xu Huang took his father one step ahead, and they happened to be looking for him at this time.
"Lord, something bad has happened. A plague has broken out in Xindu City. Many people have fallen ill. The newly appointed governor Han Fu has also fallen ill."
Zhao Feng sat on the bullock cart, stood up and looked at the Zhou Mu Mansion not far away. After a moment, he said in a deep voice: "Let's go to the Zhou Mu Mansion!"
Han Fu took charge of Jizhou as the governor. It is said that someone recommended him. This happened to be the period when Jizhou was defeated by the Yellow Turban Army, and the whole Jizhou was in chaos.
"Who is coming?" The guards in front of the governor's mansion blocked Zhao Feng and his party. Lu Su stepped forward and saluted:
"Lu Su of Dongcheng County asks to see Han Fu, the newly appointed governor!"
Not to mention that the Lu family is very famous in Jizhou, and many people know about it.
"It turns out to be Mr. Lu, please wait a moment!" the guard replied, and someone came in to deliver the message.
Not long after, Zhao Feng, Lu Su and others entered the mansion, but they did not see Han Fu himself. He was one of Han Fu's confidants, and Wang Kai, the county lieutenant in charge of the county's military, received them.
"Mr. Lu, everyone, why are you here for your visit? The governor of Han is having a rest due to illness! I, Wang Kai, don't know if there is anything I can do for Mr. Lu!"
"That's right," Lu Su said with a cupped hand: "I heard that there is an epidemic in the city. My friend knows medicine and can relieve the worries of the Korean governor!"
Wang Kai was already very busy and had no intention of receiving Lu Su and others. When he heard Lu Su's words, his eyes lit up.
"Master Lu, this is true!"
Zhao Feng stood up and cupped his hands: "I know a little bit about medicine and can serve Wang Junwei!"
"Well, our city is busy with military affairs right now, so I would like to ask you all to visit Governor Han at the back of the house!"
Wang Kai was happy and directly ordered people to wait for Lu Su and Zhao Feng to see the Han governor. As for Xu Huang and others, they were arranged to wait in a side hall.
When Zhao Feng and Lu Su saw Han Fu, they found that the handsome governor was curled up on the bed and shivering.
Lu Su glanced at Zhao Feng, meaning that Governor Han was not sick, but overly frightened. Zhao Feng nodded and said nothing.
"Interesting, Governor Han actually encountered monsters and monsters!"
However, when Zhao Feng took the pulse of the Han governor, he found that his judgment was wrong:
"Strange, how could Governor Han be poisoned, and it was also a monster poison? Could it be that there are monsters haunting this mansion?"
Zhao Feng pondered for a moment and asked the wife of Inspector Han, "Who has Inspector Han seen recently?"
"A few days ago, some neighbors from my hometown came. The husband hosted a banquet to entertain them. At night, he became sluggish and talked nonsense. He has been unconscious until now."
Zhao Feng thought for a moment and thought that it should have nothing to do with these neighbors, and then asked: "Besides, are there any other new people coming to the mansion?"
"there is none left!"
Madam thought carefully for a while, but still shook her head. The maid next to her suddenly whispered a few words, and then Madam Han said:
"A concubine has recently arrived in the house, and she is dedicated to serving the husband!"
"Madam, can I call you and see you?"
Mrs. Han was full of doubts after hearing what Zhao Feng said. Zhao Feng explained: "As a doctor, Zhao must know the daily diet and daily life of the Han governor in order to diagnose and treat him!"
Mrs. Han nodded, ordered the maid to summon the concubine, said goodbye and left. Only Zhao Feng and Lu Su were left in the room.
"Brother, the situation of Governor Han is suspicious!"
"Indeed, Governor Han is an official in a state, why would anyone deal with him? This seems to be unreasonable!"
Zhao Feng and Lu Su were whispering, and suddenly a woman came to the door: "You two distinguished guests want to see Jin'er!"
When Zhao Feng saw the woman, he suddenly attacked and hit the woman in the chest with a heavy palm. The woman was caught off guard and fell to the ground.
"Hmph, even a mere demon fox dares to cause trouble in the world!" Zhao Feng took the woman away. A moment later, footsteps were heard outside the door, and Mrs. Han's maid led a pretty woman there.
"I've met Mr. Lu, Mr. Zhao!" The woman moved softly and saluted gracefully, showing nothing unusual.
"Prince Han, how is your diet on weekdays, and how well do you sleep at night?"
The woman replied: "Eating and sleeping are all as usual, nothing unusual is found!"
"Zhao knows, thank you!"
The woman left with the maid, and Zhao Feng released the woman he had just captured: "Who are you? Why do you have a demonic aura on you!"
The woman closed her eyes and didn't answer. Zhao Feng sneered: "You have time to say it! Humph!"
Zhao Feng left a bottle of medicine, took Lu Su with him, and left the mansion of Governor Han. That night, Governor Han took the medicine and everything went as usual, except that he was timid and frightened. Governor Han learned that Zhao Feng had not found a place to live, so he asked him to stay.
Zhao Feng and his party temporarily stayed in the front yard.
The next day, Xu Huang went out to inquire about the situation and did not come back until evening.
"Lord, something is not right. There have been more and more people getting sick in the past two days, and these patients are behaving absurdly. Some of them are even crazy!"
“Have these people seen a doctor?”
"According to the doctors who treated these patients, these people seemed to be possessed by evil spirits and did not seem to be sick!"
Zhao Feng thought for a while and thought of a possibility: "Are these people with strange behaviors concentrated in one place?"
"Indeed, it is mainly the people in Dongcheng who have this symptom!" Xu Huang replied.
"Well, I'll trouble Brother Xu to stay tonight. I'll take Lu Su and Cai Yan out to find out what's going on."
That night, Xu Huang stayed at the Han governor's house, while Zhao Feng took Lu Su and Cai Yan, disguised themselves, and left quietly through the side door.
In Xindu City, a large number of refugees have gathered in the East Gate area, which is also where the largest number of ordinary people live in the city.
The three of them were agile and were not discovered by the soldiers patrolling the streets. Along the way, they arrived at Dongcheng very smoothly.
"Brother, what are we looking for?" Lu Su was very curious, not knowing what he was looking for along the way.
"well!"
"Well!" Lu Su didn't understand, but Cai Yan was smart and guessed the problem: "Brother Zhao means that someone poisoned the well, causing the people in the city to get sick?"
"Zhaoji is smart!"
Zhao Feng guessed that someone poisoned the well. Along the way, it turned out that the water in the wells he passed had problems.
"Zijing, you and Zhao Ji secretly pay attention to this place. The poison in the well water cannot last for a long time. Someone must continue to poison it!"
"Okay!" Lu Su and Cai Yan stayed at the corner of the street, hiding themselves.
Zhao Feng searched around alone and passed through the wall to transfer property, but found nothing. Suddenly, there was a faint light in a courtyard in front of him.
"In the middle of the night, who is this person here?" Zhao Feng walked over quietly. In the dark courtyard, someone was monitoring the surroundings in the corner. Zhao Feng walked over, knocked the person out with one palm, tied his hands and feet, and gagged him.
Shut up and throw it in the corner.
"Commander Qu has an order. Tomorrow we must all move together to attack the city from the east city!"
"Are you too anxious? The county captain in charge of military affairs in the city is very capable. If you are anxious, you may make a mistake!"
In the room where there was a faint light coming out, someone was talking in a low voice.
"We can no longer care about this much. The imperial army has been reorganized, and the pressure on the great virtuous master is increasing."
"It's just that I always feel uneasy when working with these people of unknown origins!"
"The Great Master has decided to cooperate with these mysterious people. It may mean that a lot of people will be sacrificed. There is nothing we can do about it!"
Zhao Feng eavesdropped for a long time, and the two men later talked about how to capture Xindu City. Only then did he know that many wealthy households and gentry in the city were followers of Taiping Tao founded by Zhang Jiao, and there were also some in the military camp.
"We cannot let the Yellow Turban Army succeed this time. Once these bandits break through the city, innocent people will be forcibly robbed and forced to accompany them. I don't know how many people will die in vain!"
After leaving the Demon Yuan Realm, along the way, Zhao Feng's initial sympathy for the actions of the Yellow Turban Army, when the government forced the people to rebel, has turned into a deep hatred now.
The Taiping Road sounds good, but in fact it brings disaster to the country and the people. Instead of giving the people a peaceful and prosperous era to live and work in peace and contentment, they plunder everywhere, and the most unlucky ones are the ordinary people.
According to the current trend, once the Yellow Turban Army breaks through Jizhou, the number of refugees trapped among them will exceed one million. By then, it is unknown how many people will die in this turmoil.
"Since the Yellow Turban Army is outside the city, why not kill their commander Qu Shuai."
Zhao Feng made up his mind and sneaked out of Xindu City. The walls of Xindu City could not stop him at all.
At ten o'clock in the night, Zhao Feng arrived at the Yellow Turban Army camp ten miles outside the city. The center of the camp was brightly lit, and except for the patrolling Yellow Turban Army soldiers, no one else was walking around.
Here, the commander of the Yellow Turban Army is named Du Chang. According to history, he will participate in the battle between Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan soon, and will be defeated by Yuan Shao.
In the big tent, Du Chang was sitting behind the commander-in-chief. On their left and right sides were his generals and some people wearing masks.
"Commander Qu, with our help this time, I believe that the capital city is at your fingertips. After entering the city, the strong and strong will be under the control of Commander Qu. The old, weak, women and children please leave Commander Commander to me!"
"The great sage and mentor have already explained this matter. Du will not change his mind. Instead, he will bother a few people to help him in the past few days!"
Zhao Feng originally thought that the demon tribe was involved in the Yellow Turban Army, but when he arrived here, he discovered that it was actually monsters mixed in.
The leading man wearing a silver mask stood up and asked: "We don't know when the person we want will be delivered!"
