The General is Pregnant: His Majesty Abstinence and Sexual Devotion Every Night

Chapter 269 Epidemic

The small road was indeed faster. After the soldier saw the wider view ahead, he turned around and said to Yongning Hou: "My Lord, the west of the city is ahead."

Upon hearing this, Marquis Yongning nodded, then signaled with his eyes that everyone should hurry up and leave.

There were no extra people on the road, so Yongning Hou subconsciously thought that he would not see other people on this path.

However, when taking the last few steps towards the west of the city, Marquis Yongning looked down at the man lying on the ground not far away, not knowing whether he was alive or dead. He was silent for a moment, and finally took the doctor to check on the man.

Yongning Hou was not a doctor, so he could not tell from the surface whether this man was suffering from an epidemic or simply fainted. However, when he really got closer and saw a dagger stuck in the man's lower left abdomen, he thought that it looked like he was stabbed and fainted.

The doctor at the side glanced at Marquis Yongning, wanting to know whether this man should be saved or not. He first received an order from the marquis to check whether this man was sick. After the doctor's answer was negative, Marquis Yongning finally thought about it and felt that it was not good to watch someone die without saving him. So, following his conscience, he nodded and asked the doctor to give the man simple treatment first.

After spending half a quarter of an hour here, the doctor took out the dagger from the unconscious man's left abdomen. Then, after giving him a simple bandage, he stood up and looked at Marquis Yongning.

Marquis Yongning nodded, thought about it, and finally called a guard from behind him and asked the guard to carry the man to the City Lord's Mansion.

After all, if the injured people continued to stay here, they would inevitably be infected with the disease. He was worried.

The guard who was called out by Marquis Yongning nodded when he heard this, and left with the unconscious man on his back.

After seeing the people walking away, Yongning Hou withdrew his gaze and asked the soldiers to continue leading the way.

Before actually arriving at the west of the city, everyone put on the scarves they had prepared in the morning on their faces. After everything was safe, they entered the west of the city.

The soldier could only bring his people to the west of the city, but he didn't know where his city lord was in the west of the city. He turned around and looked at Yongning Hou with helplessness.

Yongning Hou thought about what he had asked the people in the City Lord's Mansion when he went there, where Zhang Wenlai was recently in the west of the city.

The young boy happened to know it and told it out without reservation.

So Marquis Yongning told the soldier the address.

Upon hearing this, the soldier thought about the place and then continued walking deeper into the west of the city.

Zhang Wenlai had no idea that Yongning Hou had arrived in Nanyu City today. According to his estimate, Yongning Hou's people would not arrive until tomorrow at the earliest.

Otherwise, why would he stay in the west of the city today?

Now his attention was entirely on the scene before him.

Looking at the people in front of him, he frowned and looked at the shopkeeper and asked:

"Why is this person's disease different from others'?" Could it be that it has evolved?

He didn't say the rest of the words, but the shopkeeper could still understand. He also frowned and said, "Maybe."

“Wouldn’t that be even more difficult?”

Zhang Wenlai was talking in a displeased and irritated manner, but the shopkeeper remained expressionless and did not say anything. It was obvious that he had heard such words a lot in recent days.

But he was also a little irritated. A few days ago, there was finally some progress that could alleviate or suppress the spread of these diseases, but today, something unexpected happened. The original medicines could only be used on some people, not all of them.

This means that it will take some more days of research.

The medical boy beside him had followed these people to help in the west of the city, and his originally not-so-good medical skills had been forced to improve. At this moment, listening to the conversation between the two, he was thinking about how much time he had spent helping these people in recent days, and he sighed helplessly in his heart. The doctor beside the boy inadvertently glanced at him, and he saw the helplessness in the other's eyes, so his inner sadness became even stronger.

Zhang Wenlai doesn't have many people around him, largely because he has placed all of them in Chengdu.

Zhang Wenlai raised his head, looked at the dozen people around him, then glanced at the unconscious person lying on the ground, turned around and walked in another direction.

After taking a quick look at the situation here, he knew that it was difficult to deal with the people in this area, so Zhang Wenlai could only lead his men to attack the people whose illness had not yet evolved. He wanted to suppress as many people as possible, and to prevent the west of the city from being completely infected. Zhang Kai was helping Zhang Wenlai. Originally, he was just helping the shopkeeper to take out the bundle of silver needles and put them on the package he was carrying. So he turned around and subconsciously looked at his package. It was just a casual glance, and then he paused, as if he saw something. He continued the action of reaching for the package, took out the package of silver needles and handed it to the shopkeeper. Then, Zhang Kai turned around and moved closer to his own city lord, and reported in a low voice:

"Sir, there is a group of people coming behind us, and they are bringing people from our City Lord's Mansion with them."

Zhang Wenlai was still thinking about something. When he heard Zhang Kai's words, he subconsciously turned around and looked in the direction Zhang Kai had originally come from.

It would have been fine if he hadn't looked, but when he looked, he almost jumped up. Fortunately, Zhang Kai next to him was quick and grabbed his arm, preventing him from really jumping up and making a fool of himself.

Zhang Wenlai had an expression of disbelief as he watched the Marquis of Yongning approaching closer and closer. When he was right in front of him, he said in disbelief, "Marquis, Marquis?! Why are you here..." Why are you here? Shouldn't it be tomorrow at the earliest? !

Yongning Hou looked at Zhang Wenlai. He could guess what he was going to say next, so he interrupted him and explained briefly:

"We rode as fast as we could and traveled overnight, so we were naturally one day faster than expected." He paused, then got down to business and asked, "What's the situation now?"

Speaking of business, Zhang Wenlai's original surprise disappeared completely, and he said worriedly: "The current situation is not optimistic. This plague is very different from the usual ones. Now it has directly changed. The drugs that took a long time to suppress the infection are no longer of much use."

Yongning Hou was silent for a while, probably trying to digest what Zhang Wenlai said.

Even the doctor who was accompanying Marquis Yongning was so shocked by these words that he was speechless.

I was shocked to think that this epidemic could actually mutate. If it continued like this, wouldn't it be very difficult for them to create an antidote?

"First, give medicine to those people who haven't been infected yet, and send them to one place. As for the rest, we'll figure it out later."

This was the first sentence that Yongning Hou said after he finished his silence.

It’s time to make a quick decision.

With the help of another doctor, the shopkeeper, the doctor and the other two felt a little more relaxed.
