The concubine enters the palace? The princess empties the palace and goes into exile with the baby

Song Qing looked at Song Zizhou, his face full of helplessness, "If we don't go to Liuhe County, how can we leave? We don't have wings."

Song Zizhou didn't say anything because he didn't know what to do.

On one side the road was blocked by rocks, and on the other side there was a plague, so there was nowhere to go.

Song Mingxuan said: "Let's go back first."

Song Zizhou didn't say anything. He stood there, thinking for a long time before he said, "You guys go back to Pingyang County first. I'll go to Liuhe County to take a look."

As soon as these words were spoken, they were immediately opposed by Song Mingxuan and Song Qing.

Song Qing said, "Brother Zizhou, are you kidding? There's a plague in Liuhe County right now. What if you go there and get infected? How will you get back to Pingyang County then? Besides, there are so many people in Pingyang County, including A Yao and the others. What if you get infected and come back to Pingyang County and infect us all?"

Song Mingxuan said, "We don't even know what kind of plague this is right now. If it gets worse, brother, then you'll have to..."

Song Qing said: "Don't go to Liuhe County yet, go back to Pingyang County and find a solution."

Song Zizhou silently took out a mask from his lapel. He looked at Song Mingxuan and the others, "I have this. Don't worry, I will pay attention."

Both of them looked confused.

Because they didn't expect Song Zizhou to bring this out.

It’s a pity that they didn’t bring them with them, otherwise they would definitely go to Liuhe County with him.

Song Qing said: "We are worried about letting you go alone. How about this, we will wait for you outside, you go in to check the situation, and then meet us to return to Pingyang County together."

"Okay." After Song Zizhou nodded in agreement, the three of them mounted their horses and headed directly to Liuhe County.

Half a day passed, and they arrived at Yunlan Village in Liuhe County in the evening.

This village is the closest to Liuhe County. There is a checkpoint at the entrance of the village, and four villagers with their faces covered are guarding it.

Song Zizhou got off the carriage. After asking Song Qing and the others to stay where they were, he walked to the checkpoint made of big trees. Before he could say anything, the four people inside asked him where he came from. If he said he was from Liuhe County, they would tell him to leave immediately as he was not allowed to enter.

Song Zizhou lifted his sleeves and showed them his hands before saying, "Brother, I'm not from Liuhe County. We're from Pingyang County. We're on our way to Youyang, and we heard there's a plague in Liuhe County, and the roads there are blocked, so we wanted to ask you about the plague in Liuhe County."

Song Zizhou added: "Don't worry, I'm not infected."

The four villagers exchanged glances. One of them, Xu Cai, removed the cloth from his shirt and looked at Song Zizhou. "Since you're not from Liuhe County, we're relieved! Let me tell you, the only road to Liuhe County is through our village. To avoid infecting the villagers, we have no choice but to stay here day and night."

Another villager named Zhang Peng said, "We don't know what caused the plague in Liuhe County. Anyway, everyone was infected overnight, and countless people died and were injured. Now Liuhe County has become a taboo for us. No one dares to go there."

Hearing this, Song Zizhou said, "We are going to Youyang. Do you know of any other ways to get there?"

Xu Cai said, "I'm sorry, if you want to go to Youyang, you can only go through Liuhe County, but the plague is raging there right now, so I suggest you wait a while before going."

after a while?

They were exiled, so it would be okay if they were delayed for a few days, but if it took a long time, Han Ji would definitely not agree.

Even if Song Yao has a good relationship with him and he can make concessions, the other officers and soldiers will definitely not agree!

Song Zizhou frowned, "So now we have no way out?"

Xu Cai nodded and said, "Yes, you can only leave after the plague over there is over."

Song Qing walked over and said, "There's a doctor in our team. If he could find out where the plague came from, he might be able to develop medicine to cure them. If he could save them, you wouldn't have to worry every day."

Xu Cai and the others discussed it for a while, and then Zhang Peng looked at Song Zizhou and the others, "I'll go into the village and ask. You guys wait."

"Okay, thank you for your help." Song Zizhou said.

Then Zhang Peng entered the village.

It took him an incense stick of time to come back.

By this time, it was already dark.

Zhang Peng came running and was already out of breath when he arrived at the checkpoint.

After catching his breath, he said, "The clan leader said the plague in Liuhe County all came from Yuzhou. Yuzhou has now been completely destroyed. Those who contracted the plague in Yuzhou went to Liuhe County, and now all the villagers in Liuhe County have been infected. The plague is like a terminal illness. Once contracted, the person will die within three days. In short, this plague is too virulent, so I advise you not to go."

After hearing these words, Song Qing and Song Mingxuan felt their scalps tingle for a moment.

Will you die within three days after being infected?

This plague is not a terminal illness, it is clearly a potent poison.

Song Zizhou frowned and asked, "How did these plagues occur?"

Zhang Peng said, "They were four hunters from Yuzhou. They went into the mountains to hunt and encountered miasma. They didn't know where the miasma came from, but they breathed it in. At first, they didn't feel anything. When they returned home from hunting, they noticed an unbearable itch all over their bodies. That's when they realized something was wrong. Within three days, they were dead!"

Song Qing was shocked and asked, "So they spread the plague to their families, and their families spread it to those people outside. In a short period of time, the entire Yuzhou City was infected?"

Zhang Peng nodded. "Yes, this thing is very strong and spreads very quickly. Once you get it, it's an incurable disease and you'll die very quickly."

Song Zizhou and the other two looked at each other, thanked Zhang Peng and others, and then rode back to Pingyang County.

The plague was too virulent, and they had contracted it by inhaling miasma from the mountains. Old Man Xu had no way of finding the source and developing an antidote.

This matter is too serious, they must hurry back to Pingyang County to tell Song Yao and the others.

It only took three days to return to Pingyang County.

Three days later, Song Zizhou and his friends returned to the inn and gathered everyone to Song Yao's room.

Seeing how bad Song Zizhou and the others looked, Song Yao knew that what they had found out was very serious.

After everyone arrived, Song Zizhou told them about the rocks blocking the road and what he had heard before.

They were not surprised to hear that rocks were blocking the road, but when they heard that the plague was brought into the mountains by several hunters and that it was very virulent and would kill people within three days, everyone's face became extremely ugly.

It immediately caused everyone to panic.

Everyone was asking Song Yao what to do.

Song Yao was silent for a long time, and they became even more frightened when they saw her silence.
