This shadow guard is kinda nice

The next day, at dawn, Ning Dao came to Xiao Yichen's place, and when he learned that he hadn't gotten up yet, he waited outside the door.

Mo Ran glanced at him, not knowing why the eunuch wanted to find his master, he came so diligently.

"Prefect, please go back first. It's cold now, and it's not worth it if your body is frozen."

Ning Dao shook his head, indicating that he was fine.

I didn't see King Xuan yesterday, so I have to see him today anyway, so he came here early in the morning, thinking about talking about it.

During the time when King Xuan was in Pingyao, he didn't know how much he knew. That day he asked Amu to find someone to transport the silver to the mountain. For some reason, he always felt very uneasy, even though Amu told him there was nothing wrong.

He sent someone to make sure that the silver was there before he felt relieved.

All that's left is to wait for that person to come.

Mo Ran was speechless seeing his posture of insisting on seeing his master, and thought that it would be bad to really freeze people out of order, so he led people to sit in the next room first.

About half an hour later, Ning Dao was able to see Xiao Yichen. Mo Ran closed the door and waited outside.

"My minister sees His Royal Highness King Xuan."

Xiao Yichen put down the teacup in his hand, raised his hand slightly, "Prefect Ning, sit down."

"Thank you, Lord."

Ning Dao sat down on the chair next to him, "Prince Xuan worked hard yesterday, and he was busy until late at night when he came to Pingyao." He had a shameful expression on his face, "It's not my humble minister, it's been so hard for the prince to come here."

For this kind of compliment, Xiao Yichen had heard countless times before, and he didn't take it seriously, he said: "What is Ning Taishou looking for this king?"

Ning Dao pondered for a moment, "I don't know what the prince can do to deal with the epidemic in Pingyao. This humble minister can cooperate with the prince."

"Speaking of this, this king also wanted to chat with you today, and you just came, so let's talk about it together."

Ning Dao sat upright and listened attentively.

"The outskirts of the city..."

When Ning Dao heard him mention the suburbs, his heart couldn't help but pick up.

"The quarantine area on the outskirts of the city is not enough, so open up another one."

Ning Dao's heart sank, and he sighed slightly, it's okay.

"Yes, Weichen also has the same idea. Now more and more people are diagnosed with the disease in Pingyao. It's really not enough there, it's just..."

He hesitated for a moment, "I'm afraid it won't be built in a short period of time, and there are few people who come out to take on this job now, afraid of being infected by..."

"Short the time as much as possible. When recruiting workers, pay as much money as you can," Xiao Yichen said with a condensed expression, "Record all expenses and report them to the state treasury."

Ning Dao panicked for a moment, did he know it, or did he think too much and panic?

Xiao Yichen naturally didn't miss the panic in his eyes, and continued to say as if he didn't see it: "You can also call on the rich and powerful gentry to donate, a little bit is a little bit."

Ning Dao agreed.

"All those who are sick will be admitted and treated in a centralized manner, and people will be sent to investigate from door to door. Once found, they will all be taken to the outskirts of the city."

"This... it takes a lot of manpower to search door to door." Ning Dao disagreed with what he said.

Xiao Yichen said without doubt: "No matter how much it costs, we must ensure that all the sick people are treated together, otherwise, it will spread completely and the consequences will be disastrous."

Ning Dao remained silent. It was understandable to do so, but he was afraid that it would be too much and cause dissatisfaction among the people.

He thought about it and said, "It's okay to do this... just to appease the people."

Xiao Yichen calmed down, "That's natural."

"You look at the arrangements to ensure that every patient can get treatment."

"Yes."

"Also, if it can't be controlled, Pingyao will be sealed off for a period of time, and then unblocked when the situation improves."

Ning Daoteng stood up from the chair, "No, my lord."

He was full of eagerness, "There are a lot of merchants in Pingyao, if it is blocked, it will be a serious blow to Pingyao."

Xiao Yichen looked up at him, "So, it depends on the situation, we haven't reached that point yet."

"The reason why this king said it now is to let you know the truth. As the prefect of Pingyao, you know the specific situation better than me." I have thoughts."

There was only one thought in Ning Dao's mind, King Xuan knew about it, but he couldn't judge how much he knew.

Ning Dao's expression was disastrous, his lips parted again and again, but he couldn't say anything.

At this moment, his language seemed pale and powerless, as if his gray face was not convincing at all.

Seeing that he had achieved the desired effect, Xiao Yichen said: "Okay, is there anything else the eunuch wants to say? If not, just go down and do it."

Ning Dao was in a trance, he shook his head and said yes.

Xiao Yichen suddenly smiled, his face full of amusement.

"Speaking of which, I met your son a few days ago, and your son is also a good-looking talent."

Ning Dao was shocked by his words, what does he mean?Did the two simply meet each other or something else?

He smiled awkwardly, "The dog doesn't know the prince, didn't... offend the prince, right?"

"No," he said casually, "Why didn't you see your son?"

Ning Dao faltered, not knowing how to answer.

"The dog...he has returned to his hometown."

"Ok?"

Ning Dao bit his bullet, "There is something wrong with my hometown, so Gouzi will go back first."

Xiao Yichen chuckled twice, "So that's how it is. There is something at home, so I should go back."

"Yes, yes, yes." Ning Dao wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve.

"Okay, let's go to Ning Taishou first, the king will not let you talk."

"it is good."

Ning Dao bowed his body and backed out. It was not until he returned to the study that his nervous mood gradually calmed down.

He immediately wrote a letter and sent it out, and then arranged the things Xiao Yichen explained, and then he leaned on the chair, unable to regain his senses for a long time.

Suddenly, as if he remembered something, he called the butler to come in.

"master."

"Go and ask Madam where are they?"

The butler was stunned, not understanding why the master suddenly asked about his wife.

"Go quickly."

Ning Dao said impatiently, he was inexplicably uneasy, afraid that something would happen to his wife and Zhiyuan, Pingzhou and Pingyao were hundreds of miles away, although there were many people around him, since King Xuan mentioned Zhiyuan, his heart was not Let it go.

"Oh, yes, the old slave will go right away."

After the butler left, Ning Dao sighed deeply, put his elbows on the armrest, and stroked his forehead.

He understands all the warnings in King Xuan's words, but once he boards the pirate ship, how can he get off so easily? Now let's see what the above said. No matter what happens in the end, he doesn't want his wife and Zhiyuan accident.

Mo Ran came in with a tray, and porridge and side dishes were placed on the table one by one.

"Master, come and eat."

"Ah."

Xiao Yichen took the spoon, stirred it once in a while, and took a sip or two occasionally.

Mo Ran knew that he should be thinking about something, but if he didn't eat breakfast in the morning, it would be bad for his health, not to mention that the master's appetite in the morning has always been bad.

His assertive words interrupted Xiao Yichen's thoughts, "Master, you can eat something first, it's not too late to think about it after eating."

"...Huh?" Xiao Yichen was brought back to his senses by his words, and it took him a while to understand what he said, and he couldn't help laughing.

"Okay, listen to you."

Mo Ran also smiled, his eyebrows and eyes curved.

Xiao Yichen also forgot to drink the porridge, staring at his smiling eyebrows for a moment, there was only one thought in his mind.

His ink dye is really a beauty.

His mind moved slightly, when was the last time he had this thought?Oh, yes, the time he took the initiative to teach King Cheng a lesson, when he came back to report to himself, he said that he was a beauty.

I didn't pay much attention to his appearance before, but since then, I have noticed more or less, and I don't know why.

Mo Ran was a little embarrassed by him, thinking that there was something on his face, he reached out and touched it, but there was nothing?

What is the master looking at?He was puzzled.

But the master can watch it if he wants, who made him the master.

After breakfast, Mo Ran cleared the table, and then stayed beside Xiao Yichen, waiting for orders.

"Go to the homes of a few rich men in Pingyao, and try to persuade them to donate some silver taels. If you can, donate a little."

"Gentlemen like the Yi family and the Fu family should take a closer look."

"Yes." Mo Ran nodded in response.

Xiao Yichen sighed, "If you can meet anyone over there, touch them. If you can't touch them again, all the silver in the cave will be transported to the isolation area in three days."

"it is good."
