"In the evening...I think I will go out again."
Hearing what Meiyou said, Meibei summoned up the courage to ask, "Then can I come along?"
"Aren't you afraid of being discovered by patrols?"
"Follow you closer. If you leave, I will leave. If you stop, I will stop. If you are not afraid, then I will definitely not be afraid!"
Mayberry raised her hands and swore.
"You didn't even ask me why I went out."
"You went out just to inquire about news... You want to see Wang Beigu, right?"
Listening to Mei Bei's words, Mei You couldn't help but smile.
Meiberry heard Meiyou's chuckle and understood that she agreed.
·
I don't know if Mei Qiang and the others came here by chance, or if Wang Beigu was really plotting something without sleeping at night.
Why were they so late and were "caught" just as they climbed over the wall?
For Wang Beigu and the others, it was quite novel to see two young ladies climbing over the wall in the middle of the night.
"Good evening everyone~"
Being surrounded by a group of people headed by Wang Beigu, staring at each other with big eyes. Just as there was an atmosphere of embarrassment between them, Mei Berry took the lead in raising her hand to say hello.
Everyone: "..."
"It's us, Mei San and Mei Er~we are all our own people! What? Can't we recognize each other if we put on the veil?"
Mei Bei turned to look at Mei You. At least, Mei Bei thought she recognized Mei You just based on the upper half of her face.
As for Wang Beigu and the others, Mei Mei had reason to believe, "You don't regard us as your own, so you won't know each other."
Wang Bei looked at everyone:?
"Actually, it was because we recognized you that we didn't take action."
Meiberry looked at Lin Shoucai who was speaking, and saw that he actually held a short knife in his hand. Her eyes turned to the others. Seeing that the others had weapons in their hands, Meiberry immediately became as quiet as a chicken.
What kind of conspiracy scene had she run into, where she climbed over a wall and was held at knifepoint by so many people?
"Go in and talk."
Wang Beigu glanced at everyone, motioned for them to disperse, and then led Mei Bei and the others towards the study in the yard.
As they walked, Meiberry explained: "Actually, we just want to ask what's going on in the city now. We've been locked up at home and not allowed to move around at will for almost a month..."
"A plague broke out in Yunzhou."
"What?"
Before they even finished speaking, Mei Berry and Mei You stopped immediately after hearing the news.
The two of them stared at Wang Beigu's back, almost making holes in each other's backs.
Wang Beigu stopped and turned to look at Mei Bei and the others: "Do you want to leave here?"
"Yeah." This time it was Mei who spoke first, "So, the plague you mentioned...has it already arrived in Fucheng?"
Obviously, this question does not require Wang Beigu to answer at all.
She should have understood this because of the recent measures to close the city.
Wang Beigu nodded, then turned around and opened the door to the study, taking Mei Bei and Mei You in to continue talking.
Behind them, Shopkeeper Lin and his group did not follow.
There were only three of them left in the room.
"Many refugees have gathered outside the city. There are refugees everywhere on Qingyun Road and outside the dock at the foot of the mountain. Some are sick and some are not. If this continues, sooner or later those who are not sick will become sick."
"Didn't the counties below prevent disaster relief and open warehouses to release grain? How could there be a large number of refugees coming, and there was also a plague..."
Speaking of Plague Mayberry, it suddenly dawned on her that the check-in reward given by the system was due to the vaccine.
She had this suspicion from the beginning, and now that it was confirmed, she didn't know what it felt like.
Then Meiberry couldn't help but worry about Meiyou's family.
The Meiyu family does not have vaccines.
Even with the protagonist's halo, Mayberry is a little worried.
“Even if the people below want to organize disaster relief, no matter the manpower or material resources, it will be a drop in the bucket. Many disaster-stricken county official warehouses were directly destroyed in the floods.
After the flood, reorganize manpower arrangements... not all officials have these abilities. "
When their parents and officials in their own county could not rely on them, these ordinary people could only flee all the way and hope that the officials in the capital would find a solution.
Unfortunately, until now, Mei Berry and the others don't know where the new governor is dead or alive.
"Then the imperial court...didn't His Majesty issue an edict?"
Mei You's face is getting uglier and uglier. She can't leave here even if she wants to!
There was a plague outside. If she went out directly, apart from the lack of supplies, she would most likely face the risk of being infected.
The more they thought about it, the more they thought it was because the people above were incompetent!
"Half a month ago, an earth dragon turned over occurred in Zhongzhou. The Imperial Capital probably had too much to take care of itself, and that person... looks like it won't be able to survive."
Mei Mei and Mei You were stunned by the big news.
There was an earthquake in Zhongzhou.
No wonder no one cares about Yunzhou.
Moreover, listening to this tone, the emperor is about to die?
So Mei Pei suddenly blurted out: "How many sons does your Majesty have? Is there a prince?"
When she asked, Wang Beigu's scrutinizing gaze immediately fell on Mei Berry.
"The head of an ordinary family is gone, and the sons still have to argue about the division of family property. It's okay for us to care about this."
Meiyou followed up Meiberry's words.
And after listening to Mayberry's words, she felt that she really needed to care about this.
"Your Majesty currently has no legitimate sons. He has seven sons in total. The eldest son died young, so there are currently only six."
"Oh~ there is no direct descendant."
Meiberry's tone was full of yin and yang, and she curled her lips as soon as she finished speaking.
Then she said again: "Isn't his favorite son the same as the son who is most capable or has the best reputation among the people?"
Wang Beigu laughed dumbly.
Mayberry really hit the mark.
Seeing his reaction, Meiberry muttered in her heart: What a guy! That's really a stack of BUFFs.
If the emperor had not made a will before kicking his legs, Mei Berry could already imagine how his sons would have their heads broken.
"Oh~ the topic has gone too far."
However, Mei Bei came back to her senses and realized that they seemed to be eating carrots and worrying about nothing just now. How could she have the time to care about the life and death of the most powerful person now.
Anyway, right now, that person doesn’t care about Yunzhou whether he’s alive or dead. No wonder the heroine in the original book runs away.
For now, they have to focus on themselves.
"Aren't you... originally planning to leave the city? What should you do now?"
Mei Mei remembered that Wang Beigu and the others were leaving, and even Mei You wanted to come over to inquire about the situation outside and see if there were any other ways to get down the mountain.
“Originally we wanted to, but now the city is sealed off and there are all the refugees outside.
Even if there is a secret passage out of the city, it is extremely risky for us to leave the city and directly face the refugees and the diseases they carry. "
Wang Beigu and the others were also thinking about how to leave the city today. It would be best to leave the border directly. However, before they could find out the results of their research, Mei Bei and the others came running over.
"But if we don't leave the city, the food and grass in the city won't last long. People outside the city are resentful, and the people inside the city are also complaining. Who knows if the city will suddenly be destroyed one day..."
Mei Bei couldn't even imagine what it would be like for people outside to attack Fucheng with a life-or-death mentality.
If they find that even if they rush into the city, it is completely different from what they imagined, and they will have nothing to eat or drink, what kind of blow will those people receive.
The people in the city also wanted to leave the city every day, but when they rushed out, they found that there was a plague outside and people were dying of hunger for thousands of miles.
What would they think?
The battle will not end with the breach of the city gate, but the beginning of both sides' fear and madness leading to their depravity...
"If you are good at it, you can climb over the cliff in the east of Fucheng and then exit directly."
What Wang Beigu said was that the nearly 100-foot cliff in the east of Fucheng was so smooth that not even a crooked-neck tree could grow on it. How could he still get out of seclusion?
Mei Berry looked at Mei You, and Mei You directly spread her hands to express that she couldn't climb over.
That's really impossible. Who can climb a 90° bright stone wall?
No, Mei Mei and Mei You looked at Wang Beigu with resentment, and the other party couldn't help but wipe their noses with their hands to show their guilt.
They were also said before, but were quickly rejected.
That thing is so hard to climb!
But when it came to exiting the customs, Meiberry remembered that there was actually a secret passage in her electronic map that led directly to the outside of the customs!
But, how should she tell this?
Mayberry: How do I create a secret passage? Waiting online, it’s so urgent!
