Early the next morning, the entrance to Baihua Valley.
In order to solve the southern plague as soon as possible, Scholar Baixiao decided to set off early in the morning. Lu Bubai and Tang Youer had no objections to this. As for Xiaojia, she gained nothing in one night, which made her no longer interested in Tangmen, so she naturally agreed.
.
The four horses were ready, and each of the four people was holding one, ready to set off. The first elder and the second elder of the Tang clan were watching to see them off.
"First Elder, Second Elder, while I am out, the Tang Sect will be left to you. I will come back as soon as I finish dealing with the plague." Tang Youer said while looking at the two of them.
Tang You'er was now dressed as a man, wearing a blue brocade suit, her hair tied up with a hairpin, and her delicate face like a handsome young boy.
"Sect Master, don't worry, as long as I and the First Elder are here, nothing will happen to the Tang Sect." The second elder of the Tang Sect said.
Tang You'er nodded, glanced at Lu Bubai, then looked at the Tang Sect's Great Elder, and said, "First Elder, the investigation into the matter of Tianxiang Powder will continue."
"I understand." The great elder nodded and responded.
After explaining some more things, Tang Youer looked at Scholar Baixiao and said, "Sir, you can go."
Scholar Baixiao nodded, and then everyone stopped procrastinating and said goodbye to the First Elder and Second Elder, then mounted their horses and headed south.
Looking at the figures of Tang You'er and the four of them getting further and further away, the originally gentle face of the Tang Sect elder gradually turned gloomy.
"Great Elder..." The second elder moved forward. Just as he was about to speak, he was stopped by the great elder. He looked ahead with gloomy eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.
When Tang Youer and others were completely invisible, the first elder and the second elder quickly left. Soon after the two left, no one saw three figures leaving towards Scholar Baixiao and others.
direction and secretly followed him.
Along the way, Tang You'er changed her steady image and became lively, curious about everything in the outside world.
According to her own words, she has been living in Tangmen since she was born. The few times she goes out, she follows her master to do errands. She often returns to the city immediately after finishing the work, without stopping at all.
News from the outside world is basically obtained from some books and chats with the maids. Life can be said to be very boring and monotonous, like a canary trapped in a cage.
In the eyes of others, the position of the head of the Tang Sect is like that of an emperor, but in Tang You'er's heart, she is more eager to venture into the outside world.
This time she went to the south, it was her first time to go to such a far place. Although she was going to do some business, she cherished this opportunity because maybe it was her only chance to go to the outside world.
After listening to Tang You'er's narration, the three Baixiao scholars were very touched, especially Xiaojia. Although the two of them had some tit-for-tat conflicts in Tang Clan before, after getting along for a very short time, this unpleasantness was quickly put aside by the two of them.
Behind my head, my sister and my sister started shouting after a while.
Therefore, on the way to the south, when they occasionally passed through some towns, the two of them would often disappear for a period of time, and they would often appear with a lot of big and small bags. Tang Youer was still worried about how to take away so many things, but then
Xiaojia took out the treasure bag and solved it immediately.
Yong'an Town is an important town in the south and the hardest hit area by the epidemic. This is the destination of Baixiao Scholar and others.
Although Xiaojia and Tang Youer were delayed for some time on the way, the four of them arrived at Yong'an Town in the afternoon.
In the past, Yong'an Town was very lively and prosperous because it was close to the business road, with businessmen from all over the place coming in and out every day. However, with the outbreak of the epidemic, it instantly turned into a hell on earth.
The four Baixiao scholars were walking on the streets of Yong'an Town. It was afternoon time, and the streets that were supposed to be crowded with people now had no one at all, making them look deserted.
"Wow, it's so miserable here." Xiaojia looked at the scene around her and said involuntarily. Then she thought of something and asked Tang You'er uneasily: "Sister You'er, there is a plague here, we won't be infected."
."
Tang You'er touched Xiaojia's little head and said, "Didn't you take the Tang Sect's poison-proof pill? Now you can be said to be immune to all poisons, and you will be fine."
"Wow, is it true? That pill was so powerful when I took it." Xiaojia said in surprise. No wonder Scholar Baixiao said that the pill was only good for them and had no harm.
Tang Youer smiled and nodded, then turned to look at Scholar Baixiao and said, "I can't feel the presence of the plague here, where are we going now?"
Scholar Baixiao thought for a moment and said, "Go to the town lord's mansion."
The four people came to the Town Lord's Mansion in the west of the town. Outside the gate of the Town Lord's Mansion, they saw some people, old and young, with pale faces. They all knelt outside the door and prayed to the Lord of the Palace to save them, but the Lord of the Palace didn't.
The door was tightly closed.
The arrival of the four Baixiao scholars attracted their attention. A white-haired old man stood up tremblingly and said urgently to them: "Four of you, get out of here quickly. There is a plague here."
"Grandpa, we are here just because of the plague." Xiaojia stepped forward and supported the old man. Upon seeing this, the old man quickly tried to get away, but he couldn't get away at all, so he had to say: "Girl, stop talking nonsense.
Even the imperial court can't do anything about this plague. What can you do? It's better to leave as soon as possible."
Xiaojia didn't want to talk about this anymore, so she asked: "Grandpa, why don't you leave?" Then she looked at the people who were still kneeling in front of them.
The old man sighed and said: "Where can we go? Our home is here. Besides, we have been infected with the plague, so why go out and harm others."
"Then why are you kneeling here?" Xiaojia asked.
The old man said: "I am old and will die soon, but my poor grandson, who is only three years old, has to be tortured like this at such a young age. I can't bear it, but there is no other way. I can only come here and pray.
The master of the palace must come up with a solution as soon as possible, but..." As he spoke, the old man was already full of tears.
Seeing this, Xiaojia looked at Scholar Baixiao and said, "You stinky fortune teller, please think of a solution quickly."
"Let's talk after we go in." After Baixiao scholar finished speaking, he directly used Qinggong and flew towards the town lord's palace. Lu Bubai and Tang You'er followed closely. Xiaojia comforted the old man for a few words and also chased after him.
In the town lord's palace, the lord of the palace was sweating profusely with a dozen doctors in the courtyard, looking at medical books. There were piles of books on the floor, but there was no clue at all.
When the four Baixiao scholars suddenly appeared, they were really shocked. Upon seeing this, the soldiers guarding the surrounding area quickly stepped forward and surrounded the four people.
The Lord of the Palace stepped forward and was about to ask, but Scholar Baixiao obviously didn't want to talk nonsense with him, so he took out a golden token and threw it to the Lord.
I saw a five-clawed golden dragon engraved on the front of this token. This was specially given to Zhu Di for the convenience of doing things. The person who saw this token was the emperor's envoy with overwhelming power.
So when the palace master saw this token, his hands trembled, and he immediately knelt down and said: "The palace master of Yong'an Town meets with the envoy."
Seeing this, the other soldiers and doctors knelt down quickly. Scholar Baixiao waved his hand and said, "Okay, get up. I won't say any more. I'm here to solve the problem of the plague. You cooperate."
That’s fine.”
"Yes, yes, everything must be obeyed by the envoy." The palace master said.
Scholar Baixiao nodded, then looked at Tang You'er and said, "Miss You'er, it's up to you now."
Tang Youer walked forward, looked at the master of the palace and said: "Help me prepare a clean house, I can be useful." Then he looked at Xiaojia, blinked and said: "Sister Xiaojia, go outside to find a person with the plague.
Preferably a child, I want to study it."
When Xiaojia heard this, she nodded happily. When she left quickly, the master of the palace ordered someone to prepare a clean room.
After a while, the master of the palace came forward and said that the house was ready. At this time, a figure flashed and Xiaojia fell from the sky holding a boy about three years old.
The boy was in a coma, and his originally cute face was now extremely pale and heartbreaking.
Xiaojia handed the boy to Tang You'er and asked, "Sister You'er, are you sure?"
"Don't worry, it's okay." Tang You'er comforted, and then she carried the boy into the prepared room. When she moved her hand, the door closed automatically.
Scholar Baixiao and others stood outside the door, waiting quietly.
