The Journey of Immortality of the Peerless Medical Concubine

After a while, the two figures came to the place where the fire came from. Seeing the horrifying scene, Wen Liuli almost couldn't help vomiting.

I saw that the fire was burning from a huge pit, and crackling sounds were heard from the pit from time to time.

There were two men dressed as officials standing next to the huge pit. They covered themselves tightly, obviously taking some protective measures to avoid being infected with the plague.

Beside the two officers, there were dozens of corpses. All of them looked terrible, with blue and purple faces, dilated pupils, and mouths wide open, as if they were in great pain before dying.

At this time, the two officers were still throwing the corpses one by one into the huge pit and burning them.

"Who are you? Leave immediately before you are infected with this plague!"

Noticing Tang Tianyu and the other man, the two officers immediately stopped what they were doing and spoke to them.

Damn, these two people are so brave. There is a plague here, and you two came in without even covering your mouth and nose. Do you want to die?

Seeing this, Tang Tianyu was about to take out the token, but Wen Liuli suddenly stood up and stopped him.

"Brother officer, we are doctors. We heard there was a plague here, so we came to take a look. Can you let me see this body?"

"Doctor? Why didn't you take any precautions?"

Hearing this, the officer frowned slightly. Are you two really doctors? How come you don't even have this little common sense?

"To be honest, big brother, we have special physiques and will not be infected by this plague."

"Oh! Then please do as you please, just don't disturb us."

The officer nodded when he heard this. There were indeed some people in this world who were not afraid of the plague, so he didn't think much about it and continued to burn the corpse in front of him.

Wen Liuli smiled slightly when she saw this, then took Tang Tianyu to the body and began to examine it.

Looking at the state of death of these corpses, Wen Liuli's brows furrowed deeper and deeper. She looked at the eyes and mouths of the deceased, and suddenly an idea came to her mind.

"Old White! This is not an ordinary plague."

"Uh... How can a plague be ordinary or not?"

Hearing Wen Liuli's words, Tang Tianyu couldn't help but twitch his lips.

"No, have you ever heard of the Black Death?"

"what!"

Hearing this, Tang Tianyu's heart skipped a beat. It was obvious that he knew about this disease.

This is a plague with an extremely high mortality rate. It can be said that no one infected will survive.

It is also extremely easy to infect. A similar disease broke out in the Eastern Wasteland many years ago. In the end, an entire county was burned down, and even the doctors were burned together, regardless of whether they lived or died, before the outbreak was suppressed.

"You mean they died of the Black Death?"

After a moment, Tang Tianyu's expression became serious and his brows were furrowed into a "川" shape.

"It's similar to how I remember dying from the Black Death. I'll know if it's true or not when I see a living person."

Wen Liuli took a deep breath when she heard this. The deaths of these people were very similar to the Black Death. After seeing the corpses, she already had an 80% guess in her mind. However, they were just corpses after all, and there was no professional testing equipment, so she was just guessing.

The so-called Black Death is actually a bacteria called Yersinia pestis, which is also the vector of bubonic plague, pneumonic plague, and septicemic plague.

The mortality rate from bubonic plague was nearly 75%, while the mortality rate from pneumonic plague was close to %.

This shows how high the mortality rate of this virus is.

In addition, this virus can be transmitted through various channels and is extremely easy to spread.

In the past, on the Blue Planet, some people used this virus in wars, killing tens of thousands of people.

As he spoke, Wen Liuli looked at the two brothers who were still burning the corpse.

Although these two people's protection is very good, the spread of plague bacteria is extremely easy to be infected unless they wear professional protective equipment.

Especially since they are still burning the corpses here, not to mention the viruses in the air, it is inevitable that they will come into contact with the body fluids of these corpses. I am afraid that these two brothers have already been infected.

"Two brothers, can you let me take your pulse?"

On the one hand, she was worried, and on the other hand, Wen Liuli also wanted to confirm her guess, so she spoke directly.

"Didn't I tell you not to disturb us while we're doing our work..."

The officer frowned when he heard this, and just as he was about to say something, a token suddenly flew into his hand.

When he picked it up and took a look, the officer's heart skipped a beat and he fell to his knees.

"This subordinate greets His Majesty the King of Wu!"

Damn, calling me "big brother" all the time will shorten your lifespan.

This one is the real big brother.

"Listen to my lady!"

"Yes."

Madam? Damn, Princess Wu called me "Big Brother"!

Wow, I can go back and brag about this for the rest of my life.

When I die, I can go to the underworld and talk to the King of Hell.

Wen Liuli twitched her lips when she saw this. "Why do you have to show off with your broken token? Can't you just do your job properly? You're afraid that others don't know that you are a prince."

After giving Tang Tianyu a blank look, Wen Liuli also placed his fingers on the officer's hand. The moment his fingers touched the officer's pulse, Wen Liuli's heart suddenly skipped a beat.

If it were any other doctor, he would definitely not be able to see any problem at this time, after all, the infection was not very deep and no symptoms appeared.

But Wen Liuli is not an ordinary person. Her medical skills come from a skill called the Sage of Traditional Chinese Medicine. In addition, she already had some guesses in her mind, so she understood it as soon as she was touched.

It really is plague bacteria! And the two people in front of me are infected.

After a moment, Wen Liuli raised her head and glanced at Tang Tianyu. Tang Tianyu immediately understood what was going on and his heart began beating wildly.

Even though he usually looks like he doesn't care about anything except Wen Liuli, he really can't accept so many people dying.

"Two big brothers, stop burning, and follow me to Lijiazhuang first!"

"Ah? But this..."

Hearing this, the two officers were immediately in a dilemma because the bodies here had not been burned yet.

"Don't worry about this, leave it to me."

Seeing the two people in trouble, Tang Tianyu on the side suddenly spoke.

"Thank you, Your Highness."

With Tang Tianyu's words, the two officers immediately felt relieved and followed Wen Liuli towards the village entrance.

Just as the few people were about to walk out of Wangjia Village, there was a sudden explosion behind them, and then they saw a sword light shooting into the sky and slamming into the huge pit.

In just a moment, flames shot up into the sky, completely covering the entire village.

Damn, Grandmaster is so good. The two of us have been working here for hours and couldn’t solve the problem, but you solved it with just one sword.

About twenty minutes later, the group of four arrived at Lijiazhuang. Compared with Wangjia Village, Lijiazhuang was obviously much more lively.

After all, Wangjia Village was full of dead people, and only two officials were left there to burn the bodies, while Lijia Village was full of living people. At this moment, all the villagers gathered at the entrance of the village, and there was a group of people dressed as officials standing at the entrance.

In the middle of the officials, a middle-aged man in official uniform and hat was still talking to the villagers.

When they saw this person, Wen Liuli and Tang Tianyu couldn't help but raise their eyebrows.

Because they could see that the middle-aged man who was talking to the villagers in a friendly tone was none other than Lin Xiangzhao, the magistrate of Qingping County.

"Haha, this county magistrate is quite good."

"Well, it's really good."

Hearing Wen Liuli's words, Tang Tianyu nodded. Usually when encountering something like a plague, the officials would hide as far away as possible, and they would never be on the scene like Lin Xiangzhao did.

Is there anyone in the world who is not afraid of death? But Lin Xiangzhao was really not afraid. Even though he knew there was a plague here, he still stood here with the official.

"Didn't I tell you two to burn the body in Wangjia Village?"

Seeing the two people coming, Lin Xiangzhao couldn't help but frowned. He didn't say anything to the villagers for a while, but cast his gaze over here.

If those bodies are not burned, the plague will probably continue to exist. How could these two people be so careless? What are they doing here?

"Sir, His Royal Highness Prince Wu and His Royal Highness the Princess are here!"

"what!"

Hearing this, Lin Xiangzhao turned his gaze to the man and woman standing behind the two officers.

When he saw Tang Tianyu, Lin Xiangzhao fell to his knees.

"Your humble servant Lin Xiangzhao, the magistrate of Qingping County, pays respect to His Majesty the King of Wu!"

He did not doubt whether what the two officers said was true or false, because Lin Xiangzhao had the honor of meeting Tang Tianyu once, and his appearance was deeply imprinted in Lin Xiangzhao's mind.

"No need to be polite."

Tang Tianyu nodded when he saw this. This Lin Xiangzhao was actually a good official.

"I wonder how many people Your Highness brought with him this time?"

"Just me and my wife."

"Ok?"

Hearing this, Lin Xiangzhao's pupils suddenly dilated. He looked around carefully and found that there were indeed only Tang Tianyu and Wen Liuli.

What can two people do? This is not a war. Even if His Majesty the King of Martial Arts has tremendous military power, he cannot solve the plague.

"Lord Lin, let me ask you, why didn't you report the outbreak of plague here to the court?"

When Tang Tianyu said this, Lin Xiangzhao was stunned. What did His Highness mean by this?

I sent someone to the imperial city to deliver a letter two days ago!

The imperial court didn't know? How is that possible?

"If I hadn't happened to pass by here today, how long would Lord Lin have kept it secret?"

In fact, just by looking at Lin Xiangzhao's expression, Tang Tianyu knew that this person must be unaware of the situation. He was fully focused on epidemic prevention, so how could he know that the news had not been transmitted to the imperial city?

But what needs to be said still needs to be said. If the news was not delivered to the imperial city, then it was Lin Xiangzhao's dereliction of duty, no matter what the reason was.

"Your Highness, I sent someone to deliver the news to the Imperial City two days ago."

"Oh? Where did the news go? Why didn't anyone in the Imperial City know about this?"

"This……"

Upon hearing this, Lin Xiangzhao was speechless. It was really unfair. I really sent someone to deliver the letter.

But why wasn’t the message delivered?
