New Year, Epidemic

Chapter 337 New Year, Epidemic

Looking at Qi Xinghe's eager expression, Jiang Nan sighed,
"I see—come on."

Undoubtedly, Qi Xinghe, who had just embarked on a path he had never imagined, developed a certain kind of false confidence in himself.

As a result, the distance between the two opened up, the void shook, and the battle started again!

After half an hour.

Qi Xinghe raised his hands in embarrassment, wanting to cry but without tears, "My lord, we are defeated, we are defeated."

But having said that, his eyes were full of excitement.

There is no doubt that Jiangnan's words just now can be regarded as opening a new door for him.

Let Qi Xinghe's combat power increase dramatically even though his cultivation base has never entered the country!

Putting away the principles of Taoism and spiritual energy surrounding his body, Qi Xinghe saluted sincerely, "Thank you for your guidance, my lord... I have benefited a lot."

Jiang Nan scratched his head, "That's all for now, let's go."

After all, he raised his hand to tear apart the space and returned to Jiangzhou.

·
Wangfu.

Looking at Qi Xinghe's retreating figure in three steps and one salute, Fengmu jumped down from the old tree, her eyes widened.

"What did you do to him?"

"Hypnosis?"

"Mind manipulation?"

"Or directly seized the house?"

Jiang Nan glared at her, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

"No, you didn't see the way he just looked at you."

The phoenix mother was amazed, and said: "Before your humanity had not risen, there were some tribes who regarded our people as gods - just cast such eyes. Believe it or not, if you let him lick his toes now, most of them would not would refuse."

Jiang Nan thought about the scene, and suddenly felt nauseated.

The phoenix mother still looked like a curious baby, "So in just half an hour, what did you do to this person?"

Jiang Nan opened his mouth, but said nothing.

It can't be said that I tutored him in middle school physics, right?

But after this incident, it can be confirmed that Qi Xinghe no longer has any hostility towards Jiangnan.

Or rather, respected.

Whether in strength or in character.

"Hmph, forget about it."

The phoenix mother curled her lips, lay back on the tree again, and said to herself, "I have to be careful, don't fall under your evil tricks one day and become like those two idiots."

Jiangnan: "..."

Suddenly, his heart moved, and he looked at Fengmu
"At the beginning, His Majesty the True Dragon asked you to follow me, but it wasn't for the so-called 'understanding human nature', right?"

"Any other purpose?"

At the beginning, Fengmu wanted to follow his reason, saying that it was for the sake of a comprehensive alliance between humans and gods, and let Fengmu come to humanity first to investigate.

But after Jiangnan returned to Zhongzhou, he found out that he and Fengmu had been wandering around the corner for a month, and before they returned, Master Shifang and the True Dragon Emperor had already settled everything.

What the hell do you know?

However, there were too many things going on recently, and he didn't have time to mention it.

Now, suddenly remembered.

And the reaction of the phoenix mother also confirmed this point - the girl bounced directly from the tree...

"Who said that?"

"I don't have a concubine!"

"Don't make a fool of yourself!"

After denying Sanlian once, under Jiangnan's scorching gaze, Fengmu gradually became unable to stand up.

After a long time, he sighed, "Forget it, it's okay to tell the truth now—Zhenlong meant at that time to let the concubine test your true potential, but who would have thought..."

She didn't finish the rest of the sentence, but Jiang Nan had guessed it—who would have thought that there was a fairy backing him behind him.

"But how did you discover the clue?" Fengmu frowned deeply, "Is the concubine's disguise... really so clumsy?"

Jiang Nan scratched his head in embarrassment: "Have you...pretended?"

"..." Fengmu: "I will burn down your palace right away, believe it or not?"
.
Amidst the noise of laughter, they followed Qi Xinghe to leave Zhenxi Prince's Mansion and enter Zhusheng City.

On the top floor of Tianji Pavilion, Li Qingyun put down the file in his hand and let out a long sigh of relief.

Everything is on track.

Under the leadership of the Tianji Pavilion, the huge group of Human Dao operates precisely like a huge machine.

War weapons are being forged in an orderly manner, the army of cultivators practice and train day and night, countless arrogances pour into the city of Zhusheng to learn, and the supreme state of one rank is chasing the illusory state of enlightenment under the ancient tree of origin...

All actions are preparations for the coming war.

At this time, an old deacon pushed the door open, presented a stack of files, and said, "Li Zun, all samples have been completely burned, and all the information obtained about alien races outside the sky have been archived."

"The latest discovery is - the metal in the sample has no traces of external force implantation, it is more like... growing out of flesh and blood."

"In addition, in the sample flesh, a metal mineral that did not exist in Shangyuan was found. It should be because of the effect of this mineral that the sample flesh mutated into steel."

"At the same time, this mineral seems to destroy the host's sanity, turning it into a puppet-like existence."

The sample he was talking about was naturally the flesh and blood monster captured by the Tianji Pavilion from the fog formation.

After a long period of anatomical research, the monster from beyond the sky finally unveiled a veil of mystery.

"I see, thank you for your hard work, Deacon Xu." Li Qingyun took the file and took a deep breath.

"Your subordinate will retire." The old deacon nodded slightly after reporting.

Li Qingyun nodded, "After today, you all should go home and have a good New Year."

"Yes!" Deacon Xu replied respectfully, and exited the room.

After tidying up, the old man who had worked in Tianji Pavilion for half a hundred years stepped out of the attic.

The Department of Beast Masters led a fast horse, and Deacon Xu got on the horse and headed towards Wu Tie.

Amidst the flying snow, the old man yawned, scratched his stiff shoulders, and sighed self-deprecatingly,
"Oh, I'm old, my body is not so bright..."

The sound of sighing was drowned in the wind and snow, and accompanied by the neighing of a fierce horse, they set off on their way home.
.
Time passed day by day.

The snow is getting bigger and bigger.

The New Year's Eve finally arrived without any haste, as the common people had been looking forward to.

On this day, the entire humanitarian forces were in full swing, the streets and alleys were filled with the laughter of naughty children, and the red lanterns and festive couplets dispelled the chill like a raging fire.

In the middle of the night, firecrackers exploded on the land of Jiangzhou, and gorgeous fireworks soared into the sky, embellishing the dark night sky.

Jiangnan holds Ke'er in his left hand, Jiang Yue in his right hand, Qingluo sits on his shoulders, and Fengmu is behind him. It can be said that he is dragging his family through the noisy Qixiu New City, looking at the people around him with joyful faces. Pedestrian, he let out a long breath.

"Master! We want to eat this!"

The little tree god, who seemed to have never been restless, wandered in front of the shops on the street, happily.

Although Ke'er and Jiang Yue are a little more reserved, they also look eager to try.

Jiang Nan laughed dumbly, let go of them, and let them go.

Anyway, with their current strength, they are not afraid of any accidents.

By the riverside, Fengmu looked at the lights of thousands of houses, her expression suddenly became blurred, "Jiangnan, is there such a festival every year?"

"good."

Jiang Nan nodded, looked at the bustling crowd, smacked his lips,

"Human beings are different from you. An ordinary person's life is only a hundred years. In the past year, he was one step closer to death. It is necessary to commemorate it."

"In this way, when you are old, with gray hair and haggard face, lying on the bed, there will be something worth remembering."

"Concubine, I can't understand."

The phoenix mother showed confusion, and murmured,
"But it looks... not bad."

"It would be a pity if such an interesting race was destroyed..."

"Yes."

Looking at the fireworks all over the sky, Jiangnan seemed to see a hideous figure hidden in the night through the vast starry sky, "That's why we must protect it."

After a pause, Jiang Nan looked a little uncomfortable with Fengmu, and said with a smile: "But before that, have a good year——Happy New Year."

The phoenix mother was stunned, her red lips parted slightly, and she murmured, "New...Happy New Year."

So, amidst the gorgeous fireworks and crackling firecrackers, the old year full of pain and fear was sent away year after year.

The new year is here.
.
The new year is indeed extremely peaceful and peaceful.

Especially for black iron.

After all, no one can forget the storm that nearly caused turmoil in the entire Central Province at the beginning of last year—the Great Xia capital was shattered, the saint died, the first emperor died, and the embroidered clothes became the king...

These outrageous things that sounded absurd almost frightened Wu Tie's officials, big and small, to stop at that time.

Because no matter what Wu Tieguo said, he still relied on Daxia.

But this year's Spring Festival, there will not be so many troubles.

Since the end of the war of gods, Great Xia has calmed down, and so has Zhongzhou.
Until, the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

A slightly weird epidemic broke out in Wutie Country.

The palace, the imperial study.

"Your Majesty, the patient seems to be suffering from a cold, dizziness, weakness, muscle aches, and loss of appetite."

The old imperial doctor said respectfully,
"But what puzzles me is that, in addition to the symptoms mentioned above, their limbs are more or less stiff."

"The several prescriptions prescribed by the Tai Hospital according to the previous wind-cold epidemics cannot be cured."

After listening, Huai Su behind the desk case frowned slightly.

This is her second year in power.

After the prince died and she took the throne, she has been working hard and diligently.

Those old ministers who looked down on her because she was a daughter at the beginning also gradually changed their views—especially because of her close connection with Daxia, she won a lot of benefits for Wu Tie this year.

Although the Wutie land is small and cannot be involved in the major events that determine the progress of humanity, the new empress still manages it in an orderly manner within this three-acre land.

But when everything was booming, a disease that had never appeared before spread among the people.

As the imperial doctor just said, the symptoms are similar to catching a cold due to wind-cold, but with all the efforts of the hospital, there is no cure.

Those prescriptions developed and judged by the imperial physicians with profound medical skills can only provide a slight relief, and there is no hope of a cure at all.

Even the court cultivators took action to diagnose and treat the sick, but they couldn't find any problems.

It's as if... there are only symptoms and no cause.

In the beginning, when the disease began to spread, it was still in the New Year.

Although Huai Su and many ministers had already sensed something was wrong and sealed off the affected cities, there were still many merchants who walked through various cities in Wutie with this strange disease.

In just a few days, nearly half of the cities in Wutie have been affected by the disease.

At that time, Huai Su insisted on sealing off these cities in spite of the objections of his ministers, so as not to let the epidemic worsen further.

"Your Majesty, the ministers have already thought about the solution that should be considered."

Finally, the old imperial doctor sighed, "I implore Your Majesty to ask for assistance from allies."

Huai Su took a look at him, and said in a deep voice, "Physician Chen, I have sent a letter to Daxia about this matter, you should first follow the previous prescription to stabilize the illness of the people."

After hearing this, the old imperial doctor relaxed and bowed to leave.

I sighed in my heart, only this His Majesty could so easily ask Daxia for help.

It's all because His Majesty had a chance with that prince when he seized the throne.

Because of this, when Huai Su came to the throne, the relationship between Daxia and Wutie became closer than ever.

Even the price of iron ore sold by Wutie was raised by Daxia by [-]%.

It's just free money.

After the imperial doctor stepped back, Huai Su let out a long sigh, leaned on the back of the chair, his eyes couldn't hide the look of exhaustion.

In fact, the problem is far more serious than it seems.

Because after several tracings by the imperial doctor, it was found that the source of the epidemic was an old man surnamed Xu.

And the identity of that old man is the deacon of Tianji Pavilion.

Now he is isolated in the Imperial Palace Hospital with several serious patients, and his condition is critical. This is invisible and puts more pressure on Huai Su.

Because of the epidemic, she hadn't closed her eyes for several days.

Looking at the empty hall, she murmured, "Brother Huang, please rest assured, Huai Su will definitely bring Wu Tie to the end."

In the afternoon, the news of the epidemic still came from all over the country like snowflakes, and the books and cases in the imperial study had been piled up into a hill.

The people of Great Xia finally arrived.

But to Huai Su's surprise, the person leading the team was not an official from Daxia's Foreign Affairs Department who was in charge of diplomacy, but a Jinxiuyi.

After Xu Tian showed the embroidered clothes order and documents, he looked at the young and tired Her Majesty, nodded slightly,
"Your Majesty, my minister's name is Xu Tian, ​​and I have come to Wutie to deal with the epidemic by order of the Xiuyi Mansion."

In terms of status alone, although Huai Su is the emperor of a country, he is still far behind Daxia's golden embroidered clothes.

However, this seemingly frail but powerful queen is actually with King Zhenxi.

This point alone has to make the Daxia officials think about it.

It was also for this reason that regarding Wu Tie's request for help, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs directly threw the hot potato to the Xiuyi Mansion, and the Xiuyi Mansion asked Xu Tian to bring doctors from the Tai Hospital to Wu Tie.

Huai Su nodded lightly, stood up, "Xu Xiuyi has worked so hard, I and Wu Tie's thousands of people will thank Da Xia first."

After the simple politeness, Huai Su summoned Wu Tie's imperial doctor and told him about the symptoms and characteristics of this strange disease.

Hearing this, behind Xu Tian, ​​a chubby doctor showed a strange look, frowned and said,
"Such symptoms...before the old man came, there seemed to be reports from the Youshan Road in Daxia."

After the voice fell, everyone couldn't help being stunned.

Could it be... the disease has already spread from Wutie to Daxia?

Just when the atmosphere was silent, a guard hurried in, out of breath,

"His Majesty!"

"Something is bad!"

"Xu... Mr. Xu..."

Huai Su's expression changed, "What's wrong with Mr. Xu?!"

The guard looked terrified, as if he had just seen something unbelievable,
"Old Mr. Xu... a spear was born in his hand!"
