"Doctor Zhang is here." At the gate of Tuwa Fort, a Northern Man soldier on patrol nodded to Zhang Xinpeng and began to search his body and the items he brought.
The reason why these northern barbarian soldiers were so polite to Zhang Xinpeng was because Zhang Xinpeng had provided them and their families with medical treatment over the years. Zhang Xinpeng's medical skills are very good and his fees are not very high, so many people remember his kindness.
After the Northern Barbarian soldiers routinely searched everything on Zhang Xinpeng, they let him into Tuwa Fort. However, Zhang Xinpeng did not have any other items on him, just some medicinal materials. They were already used to these things.
But what no one expected was that this time, not all the medicinal materials Zhang Xinpeng brought into Tuwabao were used to treat diseases, and some of them could actually make people sick.
These medicinal materials were sent to Zhang Xinpeng by the two mysterious people yesterday. Zhang Xinpeng has been a doctor for many years, so of course he knows the uses of these medicinal materials.
Zhang Xinpeng also secretly admired in his heart that the person who dispensed the medicine was really smart, because this could cause a large number of people to fall ill. It looked very serious, but in fact it was nothing serious, which was why he was willing to help these people.
After entering Tuwa Fort, the inside was not so strict. Zhang Xinpeng felt much freer. He deliberately tore a small hole in the paper bag containing the medicinal powder. As he walked, the medicinal powder fell out of the paper bag and scattered on the ground. on the road to the fort.
As usual, he checked the physical condition of some people in the fort, prescribed some medicines to a few sick people, and told them the dietary restrictions when taking medicines. All this was no different from usual, and no one in Tuwa Fort felt anything. What an anomaly.
But what no one knew was that Zhang Xinpeng looked the same as usual, but in fact he was extremely nervous. It was still a cold day, and cold sweat was already breaking out on his back.
However, Zhang Xinpeng had often entered Tuwa Fort over the years, and everyone was already very familiar with him, so no one had any doubts about him, and of course no one noticed anything unusual about him.
This time I stayed in Tuwa Fort for more than an hour. For Zhang Xinpeng, it was like a year. When it was finally time to leave, looking at the castle gate behind him, he let out a long sigh of relief.
"I have put the things inside as you ordered. It is not up to me to decide how much effect I can have." As soon as he returned to his room, he saw that the two people who came to see him had already arrived. Sit inside.
Zhang Xinpeng knew that the identities of these two people were not ordinary, but he didn't inquire about anything.
"You just need to do as we ask. Don't worry, we won't make things difficult for you unless it's absolutely necessary." The two people in the room breathed a sigh of relief when they heard Zhang Xinpeng's words, and spoke to him again. He asked for some comfort, and then "flyed" out from the open window without waiting for what Zhang Xinpeng was saying, leaving Zhang Xinpeng a little stunned.
In Tuwa Fort, as a middle-aged woman developed dizziness, diarrhea and low-grade fever, the disease spread rapidly throughout Tuwa Fort. In just one day, 40% of the more than 200 people living in the fort were infected with the disease, and it was likely to continue to spread.
Although these Daning royal family have not been valued highly among the hundreds of barbarians over the years, the existence of these people is not only a source of pride for the northern barbarians, but can also be used as hostages, so they are still unwilling to let anything happen to them. .
Of course, it is impossible for the Northern Barbarian officials to ignore the large-scale epidemic in Tuwa Fort. They sent a large number of medical officers, but they did not find the cause of the disease. Some medical officers were even infected.
In the end, the Northern Barbarian Palace came to the conclusion that this was a sudden infectious disease. If not treated in time, it might spread throughout the Northern Barbarian Palace. It was a big deal there.
The Northern Barbarian King Heihan Naji was originally a heroic figure, but when faced with such a thing, he couldn't sit still. Immediately, an order was sent to the entire royal city to Lingxing, and all the doctors in the city were summoned to study the treatment of the disease.
Soon, almost all the doctors in Lingxing City, whether they were stationed for a long time or temporarily passing through, were gathered together.
After a simple medical test to determine the identities of these doctors, they were all allowed to enter the Tuwa Fort and stay in the fort to devote themselves to studying how to treat this sudden disease.
What all the doctors didn't know was that the palace had already made a decision. In order to avoid the spread of the disease, if the disease is not completely controlled, all people will remain in the castle forever. The palace even asked people to prepare a large amount of firewood. Once it reached the point where it was uncontrollable, the entire Tuwa Fort and the people in the fort would be burned clean by a fire.
It was under such circumstances that Ye Ying entered Tuwa Fort. He went to the Northern Barbarians this time as a businessman who mainly specialized in medicinal materials. It was normal for him to have some medical skills, so he was not suspected by the Northern Barbarians.
The doctors who entered the fort were each assigned one or two patients and asked them to treat them separately. Because the disease came so strangely and so fiercely, they had no choice but to treat the disease randomly to see who would be treated. The treatment method is the most effective.
Because the disease came very strangely this time, no one could determine the cause, so after entering the castle. The supervision of these doctors was very loose, and they could move around the castle at will, which made it easier for them to find the cause of the epidemic.
Walking around the fort, I found that it was more like a farm. All the people were dressed simply. Some people were carrying buckets of water with wooden buckets, and some people were using hoes to remove the soil from the field. Loose. Seeing how everyone was sweating profusely, it was impossible to connect them with the royal family members without knowing their identities in advance.
The people here chose to turn a blind eye to the arrival of Ye Ying, an "outsider". They were still busy with their work, as if everything else had nothing to do with them.
Ye Ying quietly watched these "farmers" coming and going in the fort. Although he didn't know any of them, Ye Ying knew that most of the people here were related to him by blood. The younger ones may be their brothers and sisters, and the older ones may be their uncles. If they were in Daning, they should all be nobles with high status.
Ye Ying once heard someone say that when they were first imprisoned here, they thought about escaping, but after being captured, they were severely punished without exception. Even some people who had no idea of escape were implicated.
Of course, there are also lucky people. It is said that one of the younger brothers of Emperor Liu Heng, the prince of Daning, once successfully escaped from the Northern Barbarians and returned to Daning.
But the prince, who thought he had regained his freedom, only realized when he returned to Aurous Hill that he had just entered another, more severe prison from one prison. After returning to Jinling, the prince was placed under house arrest, and no one has ever seen him since.
The northern barbarians deliberately spread the news about this matter, and the royal family in Tuwa Fort finally knew that King Kang Liu Gou, who had ascended the throne in Jinling City, did not want them to go back at all in order to secure his position.
Over time, these royal children settled down in Tuwa Fort and even got married and had children here. Living this hopeless life year after year, all the energy from that year has been completely wiped away.
The poison in Tuwa Fort was prepared by Ye Ying. He specially asked Qi Jiao and Shan Fu to hand it over to doctor Zhang Xinpeng, who would spread it in the fort. This poison looks very dangerous, but in fact it is not very harmful.
After entering the fort, Ye Ying did not immediately sprinkle the antidote to remove the poison, because he still needed to stay in the fort for a while.
At the fourth watch, it was the darkest time of the night and the time when everyone slept the deepest in the day. No one noticed that a black shadow suddenly came out of the house. Outside the house, several Northern Barbarian soldiers were patrolling, but they were unable to spot the black figure.
The speed of this black shadow was very fast. As soon as he left the house, he quickly ran up to the roof, and under the cover of the night, headed towards an artificial earth hill behind Tuwa Fort.
The patrolling soldiers were very serious, and they carefully checked every corner of the fort. However, these patrolling northern barbarian soldiers never dreamed that someone was flying over their heads.
It didn't take long for the black shadow to reach the mountain and stopped between the tombs built on the mountain.
This black shadow was Ye Ying who had finally sneaked into Tuwea Fort. Tuwea Fort was not that big. It didn’t take him long to find out the location of the cemetery. Taking advantage of the silence of the night and when everyone was asleep, He came here quietly.
There are many tombstones neatly erected in this cemetery, but they are still easy to distinguish. Judging from the size and position of the tombstones, the high place in the center of the cemetery must be the tombs of two emperors and important members of the royal family.
Although it was dark, Ye Ying, who had good eyesight, quickly found the tombs of his grandfather Liu Ji and father Liu Huan. Although he did not have much affection for these two incompetent emperors, they were his relatives after all, so Ye Ying still walked over. , and kowtowed a few times in front of their graves.
Catching the faint starlight, Ye Ying finally found a few words of Queen Daning's Zhu chain on a tombstone, and his tears suddenly flowed out. This great woman, in order to save her child, endured the humiliation and finally entrusted the infant Ye Ying to Ye Shuai, the fierce eagle. After that, she chose to commit suicide.
It is said that Queen Zhu's behavior at that time not only made the people of Daning sigh with emotion, but also the Northern Barbarians, who were hostile countries. They gave Zhu Lian a grand burial. Even Heihan Naji, the king of the Northern Barbarians, personally turn up.
"Mom, my child is unfilial. I have only come to visit you after so many years, and my child kowtows to you." Since he did not dare to light incense candles, Ye Ying had to find a few tree sticks from the side, put them in front of his mother's face in front of the incense candles, and finished kowtowing. A few seconds later, he knelt quietly in front of the tomb, tears falling on the ground beside him along his cheeks.
Time passed little by little, and Ye Ying suddenly woke up from his immersion. A lot of time had passed, and he knew it was time for him to leave. If you delay for too long, if you are found out and don't say anything, your brothers who are still in the inn will be harmed.
Although he was reluctant to leave, Ye Ying stood up decisively, turned around and prepared to return the same way, but the next moment he was shocked because there was a person standing behind him.
