Demonic witch?
In the eyes of ordinary people, it is just a title. Have they heard how many people Yu'er killed? Have you ever heard how many bad things Yu'er has done? At most, it is usually used to scare children. If they don't obey, they will be caught and eaten by the demon girl.
If in the peaceful and prosperous times, people were bored and gossiped, then Sun Quan's shielding of Yu'er might have some effect on public opinion. But now, the common people don't care, not even the nobles, because no one is afraid of death, and a plague breaks out in Nanyang!
Sun Quan was greedy for life and afraid of death, and fled Nanyang at night. It was indeed criticized by people, but to be honest, it was human nature. What everyone was angry about was that Sun Quan ran away without saying a word, not that Sun Quan refused to save him, because in this In this era, the plague represents death, and no one dares to say that it can be saved. Therefore, compared to Sun Quan, Cihang Jingzhai, who jumped out to say that Sun Quan was harboring the demon girl, was even more despised. How long has it been since you still care about these trivial matters? Don’t you, Cihang Jingzhai, claim to be an upright family? Now that the plague has come, it is much more harmful than the so-called demon sect witches. Why haven’t you taken any measures? If you don't come forward to help, then you come out to cause trouble. Do you think this place is not chaotic enough? Or do you, Cihang Jingzhai, not worry about the lives of the people of Nanyang at all?
In short, after Sun Quan left Nanyang City overnight, the entire Nanyang fell into complete chaos from top to bottom. Some well-informed people packed up their belongings overnight and moved out of the city the next day. As for the majority of the people who could only make a living here and could not leave, they were filled with indignation. I don’t know how many people threw stones at the Zhang family’s house. Everyone’s idea is very simple, since we can’t leave, then let the Zhang family leave, and die outside if you want, so as not to harm the people of Nanyang!
Occasionally, there are people who support the Zhang family, have received favors from the Zhang family, and speak for the Zhang family, but because their voices are too low, they are directly drowned in the public.
Nanyang City was suddenly in a state of disorder. Incidents of burning, killing and looting in the city increased in vain. The people complained and the officials were inactive. After Sun Quan left, no one dared to take responsibility. They neither dared to offend the Zhang family nor come forward. To help the Zhang family, we can only let them fend for themselves and let the people force the Zhang family away.
Historical records record: Nanyang's household registration is in the tens of millions, but 'he' does not follow the law, uses money and plunders as capital, and is extravagant and beautiful, which makes the people suffer.
This incident was blamed on Yuan Shu in later generations, but in fact, it was the Sun family's fault. To be precise, it was Sun Quan's fault! Sun Quan took away the gifts from the powerful, but simply abandoned the mess of Nanyang and let it go. This became Sun Quan's dark history for a long time. Everyone in the world thinks that military strategists are only suitable for conquering and governing the world. What a child's play!

"Junior sister, can you explain why Sun Quan got the news in advance and let us miss it!" The woman in white was furious. After thinking about it, she still believed that the reason for her failure was that someone leaked the secret in advance. Although there is no evidence, looking at everyone, the only one who is most likely to leak the secret is Qin Chuan!
"Senior sister, you have always sent people to keep an eye on me. Isn't that enough to prove my innocence?" Qin Chuan replied calmly.
"Hmph!" The woman in white narrowed her eyes, "I just thought I had you stared at!"
The implication is that it was Qin Chuan who leaked the secret, but he was not caught.
"Senior sister, what's the point of talking about this now? A plague breaks out in Nanyang City, and the people's panic spreads faster than imagined. If we don't take action, maybe everyone will be devastated!" Qin Chuan advised.
"Don't try to change the subject with me. This is not a reason for you to get away with it!" said the woman in white. After speaking, she probably felt that these words were inappropriate for her identity, so she quickly made up for it, "It's not like you don't know what the plague is. .At this time, it’s not that we don’t want to help, it’s that we are simply unable to do anything. In my opinion, it is better to organize the people and temporarily escape from Nanyang City.”
"Organize people to escape? Then what do they do for a living? Can you convince those aristocratic families to release food for disaster relief!" Qin Chuan said urgently.
The woman in white's face darkened and she said mockingly,
"My abilities are limited, but I am not that capable. Since you think this method is feasible, junior sister, you can ask for help yourself. Oh, right, don't you have a good relationship with Sun Quan? Go to the Sun family and let the Sun family control the troops. Give up the food, after all, they are the masters of Nanyang, and they should take care of Nanyang's affairs!"
"Then they don't care now, so we don't do anything? We just need to put all the responsibilities on the Sun family afterwards. Can we really feel at ease like this!" Qin Chuan couldn't help shouting.
"Junior sister, recognize the reality! This world is not just your wishful thinking. You can do whatever you want. There are some things that you just can't do if you can't do them. One day, you will drown in your fantasy. "The woman in white snorted coldly, "Anyway, I will report this accident truthfully. As for what Master will think, it is not up to me. You can take care of yourself!"
After saying that, the woman in white left.
Qin Chuan looked up at the sky with confusion on his face, Zhongmou, if it were you, what would you do? Thinking of Sun Quan, Qin Chuan was suddenly stunned. Sun Quan was obviously the first person to know about the plague, but he did not run away at all. Instead, he summoned the Nanyang nobles to discuss important matters. Isn't Sun Quan afraid of death? No, Sun Quan was just more sensible than most people.
The outbreak of the plague this time was in the Zhang family. The Zhang family is the most top medical family in the world, and they have handled it quite reasonably. Therefore, the current crisis in Nanyang City is not a plague, but panic! The plague has actually been contained to a very small area. The current contradiction is that no one is willing to communicate with the Zhang family, and everyone has chosen the most extreme approach.
Thinking of this, Qin Chuan's face straightened. Now he is the only one who can be the bridge of communication! Convince the Zhang family to temporarily move out of Nanyang, relieve the panic in the city, and then provide the Zhang family with necessary assistance so that they can fight the disease without being affected outside. This is the most reasonable method now! Of course, the only risk is to Qin Chuan, because there is a possibility of contracting the plague if he comes into contact with people from the Zhang family.
However, for the sake of the people, for the Han Dynasty, and for the reputation of Cihang Jingzhai, Qin Chuan decided to do it!

"The Classic of Mountains and Seas" once recorded that there were three blue birds beside the Queen Mother of the West. They could fly across thousands of mountains and rivers to convey messages and convey the sounds of happiness, auspiciousness and joy to the world. It is said that the Queen Mother of the West once wrote a letter to Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and sent a blue bird to deliver the letter to the palace of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. Later, based on such legends, people used birds like swan geese to pass messages. Later, it evolved into flying pigeons to pass messages.
Outside Luyang City,
Sun Jian received a message from Fei Ge from Nanyang City and learned that because Cihang Jingzhai broke into the city lord's palace at night, Sun Quan and Yu'er were forced to flee out of the city and went straight to Luyang. So early in the morning, Sun Jian led everyone out of the city to prepare to pick up Sun Quan. First, Sun Jian was worried about Sun Quan's safety; second, Sun Jian was also very strange about Cihang Jingzhai's behavior, so he wanted to ask Sun Quan personally as soon as possible what was going on.
"Brother Sun, you seem to like your son very much?" Yuan Shu said from the side. The two of them were sitting at the makeshift banquet, drinking peacefully. As the head of the family, Sun Jian actually took the initiative to greet Sun Quan, his son. This is not a treatment that ordinary descendants can enjoy!
"Haha, what did Brother Yuan say? Isn't Quan'er half your son now?" Sun Jian said with a smile.
"Haha, yes, Brother Sun is right. I like this guy Zhongmou very much." Yuan Shu followed, but it was precisely because of his liking that Yuan Shu worried that Sun Jian would not be willing to let him go in the future. To put it simply, Yuan Shu admires Sun Quan very much, so he wants Sun Quan to help him in the future, just like the relationship between Li Ru and Dong Zhuo now, instead of simply marrying his daughter.
