Chapter 684 Plague
"Did the Yuwen family really do it?"
When Su Peng heard this, he was shocked and said to Sun Yiqiu.
But Su Peng saw that Sun Yiqiu looked at him with a strange expression, but shook his head.
"Well? Why, isn't the Yuwen family's source of plague in Liangzhou?"
Seeing Sun Yixian's appearance, Su Peng felt that things seemed to be not what he imagined, and asked Sun Yixian.
Sun Yiqiu looked at Su Peng for a while before speaking, "You really don't know?"
"Brother Sun, what happened? Why do I feel like you are doubting me when you look at your expression?"
Looking at Sun Yiji's expression, Su Peng frowned and said.
Seeing Su Peng reacting like this, Sun Yiqiu seemed to make some judgment. He sighed and shook his head and said, "It's not the Liangzhou plague, but the Yuwen family itself... The plague in Yuzhou!"
"What?"
When Su Peng heard this, he seemed to be unbelievable. He opened his eyes wide, looked at Sun Yiqiu, and after a while he said something, he asked, "How could it be Yuzhou?"
"I also find it strange." Sun Yiqiu nodded and said to Su Peng: "That day, after you told me about the Yuwen family's plan, I contacted Dakong Temple and Cihang Jingzhai through letters and face-to-face communication. Both of them said they went to Yuzhou to ask the Yuwen family for an understanding, but the matter had not yet come to fruition, so I got the news from Cihang Jingzhai people, saying that a plague broke out in Yuzhou itself."
"What's going on?"
When Su Peng heard this, he felt more confused. He frowned and said, "Is it because the Yuwen family accidentally leaked the source of the plague, causing the civilians in Yuzhou to get infected with the plague?"
"It seems that's not the case." Sun Yiqiu shook his head and said, "The source of the plague you told me that day was not the same as the plague that happened in Yuzhou this time. No one has ever seen this plague in Yuzhou, nor is it what you described... Brother, don't blame me. At the beginning, I even suspected you, guessing that you would have put on a plague in Yuzhou, but then said the matter reversed. After all, this world is too coincidental. You just finished talking about the Yuwen family, but in the end, the plague occurred in Yuzhou. Everything seemed to be calculated."
When Su Peng heard this, he couldn't help but feel speechless. He looked at Sun Yiqiu and asked, "Brother Sun, are you still suspicious of me now?"
"No." Sun Yiqiu heard this and smiled. He said, "Actually, it will be clear when you think about it. If the plague is really spread by man, how long have you taken over Yuncheng? In the past, you were all single horses in the world, so where can you have the resources to research the cause of the plague? And based on my understanding of you, you are not like this. Besides, if you really have that mind, just do it yourself. Why bother telling me about the Yuwen family? Didn't that make me suspicious for nothing?"
After hearing Sun Yiqiu's words, Su Peng felt a little better. He was considered Sun Yiqiu as a friend, so he naturally didn't want him to misunderstand anything. Moreover, this matter had nothing to do with him, so he naturally didn't want to take the blame for others.
"However, Cihang Jingzhai and the people from Dakong Temple were very suspicious of our Xuanhutang. The reason was the same. As soon as I sent the message, a plague was sent in Yuzhou. And the plague suddenly happened without any reason. It seemed to be man-control. Both of them wrote to question me where I got the previous news."
Sun Yiqiu continued to say to Su Peng.
"Oh? Brother Sun said that the news came from me? Also, how serious is the plague in Liaocheng and Yuzhou?"
Su Peng looked at Sun Yiqiu and asked him.
"Of course I didn't recognize you." Sun Yixian smiled and said to Su Peng: "I know the feud between you, Cihang Jingzhai and Dakong Temple. If you tell me about it, I'm afraid there will be many misunderstandings. I'll say that I found out that I received an unknown letter from my Xuanhu Hall. Don't worry."
"As for this plague, it is very serious. It seems that one-third of the residents in Liaocheng have been infected with the plague. After being infected with this plague, people will be afraid of light and water, and their rationality will be reduced and they will easily attack others. If you are scratched or bitten by these people suffering from the plague, you may also suffer from the plague... Moreover, I heard that many soldiers from the Yuwen family have also been infected with the plague in Liaocheng."
"What? The Yuwen family's army has also been infected with the plague?"
Su Peng's heart was shocked when he heard this.
Originally, Su Peng was thinking whether this was a bitter plan used by the Yuwen family, or that the source of the plague was accidentally leaked to their local area. But now, Sun Yiqiu said that the Yuwen family's army was infected with the plague, but Su Peng understood that this matter seemed to be a victim.
Not to mention that the plague in Yuzhou is not good for the Yuwen family, the Yuwen family's army is infected with the plague at this time, which is not a trivial matter.
Su Peng had heard a few days ago in Yuwen Wuji's study that the Yuwen family had assembled a lot of troops near Liaocheng. In addition, the original garrison in Liaocheng would have been a total of tens of thousands. If these tens of thousands of people were infected with the plague, the strength of the Yuwen family would probably be reduced by one-third or a quarter. Moreover, the stay and departure of these troops was even more problematic and could not return to Yuzhou, otherwise the plague in Yuzhou would be even more severe.
According to what Sun Yixian said, it seems that someone deliberately controlled the plague. The person who released the plague is definitely not himself, but which force released it?
"Could it be that Lin Yi's Xu Huaiyu also thought of this trick and started studying the plague a few years ago?"
Su Peng couldn't help but think of the governor of Liangzhou Xu Huaiyu. When something happened to the Yuwen family, Xu Huaiyu made the most profit.
However, Su Peng had no evidence in his mind about this matter, and now he was not sure which force was done by him.
After breathing a long sigh, Su Peng asked Sun Yiqiu, "Brother Sun, do you have any ideas?"
"Yes, so I'm going to discuss it with you." Sun Yiqiu nodded and said to Su Peng: "The most serious place in Yuzhou plague is Liaocheng. I just heard that the situation in Liaocheng seems to be very bad, but I haven't visited it in person. This time I plan to go to Liaocheng in person to see the situation there. I also invite Brother Su, you can go and observe the situation in Liaocheng in person."
"Go to Liaocheng?" Su Peng frowned slightly when he heard this.
His identity is sensitive, and the Yuwen family may not be able to tolerate him. Moreover, the plague in Liaocheng is raging, so who can guarantee that he will not be infected after going there?
Seeing Su Peng's expression, Sun Yiqiu knew that Su Peng was hesitant and said to Su Peng: "Don't worry about the plague in Liaocheng. I have saved the world. Over the past thousands of years, there have been so many plagues in the world. Many people in the sects have gone to treat them. Our sects are originally small families, and there are not many people, so they naturally cannot afford to lose money. Therefore, they have long studied the powder to prevent most plagues in the world. However, the materials required for this powder are really expensive. Each portion of the consumption is probably as huge as dozens of taels of gold, which is really unpopular. But if it is only a portion of a few people, it can still be saved."
"That's how..." Su Peng felt a little calm when he heard this. The hostility of the people in power in Liaocheng towards him was second. Su Peng was most worried about the plague. If the plague could be prevented, there would be no big problem.
Anyway, there is no real master in Liaocheng, who can keep himself.
"Also, Liaocheng itself cannot provide any power. In Liaocheng, officials who were not infected with the plague have evacuated from the city, and the people of the Yuwen family have also temporarily withdrew. The city is unmanaged. The army of the Yuwen family who is infected with the plague, some of the troops that are still healthy have evacuated, leaving only soldiers who are infected with the plague. They are also in a state of unleased leadership. It can be said that the entire Liaocheng is now a bossless city, all relying on daily inertia. However, if the plague cannot be calmed in the recent period, then it is afraid that Liaocheng will be in chaos."
Sun Yiqiu said to Su Peng.
"It's so serious?"
Su Peng was also shocked when he heard this. Unexpectedly, in just three or four days, Liaocheng was already in this state.
"How? Brother Su is going to Liaocheng with me? But don't say I didn't remind you that the people from Dakong Temple and Cihang Jingzhai may also want to go."
Sun Yiqiu looked at Su Peng and asked.
Su Peng frowned slightly, thought for a while, and then said, "Go! But let me prepare. Many people in Liaocheng may come out to escape, and I, Yuncheng, cannot afford to let the plague patients in Liaocheng enter Yuncheng, and let the same thing in Yuncheng. I will send some military officers to set up checkpoints in Yuncheng and Liaocheng. Of course, I will not let the refugees in Liaocheng die on the road. I will prepare tents, food and other supplies to provide them."
After hearing this, Sun Yiqiu nodded and said, "It's good that this is good. You can't just spread like this. What you did is right... Then I'll wait for you one day. At noon tomorrow, we will go to Liaocheng together."
Su Peng nodded and agreed to Sun Yiqiu.
Sun Yiqiu came here mainly to talk about this matter. After explaining it clearly, he left first.
Su Peng sighed deeply and ordered his men to prepare for the defense of the card.
...
...
On the morning of the next day, Sun Yijun came to find Su Peng.
Su Peng told the elder of the demon clan that Li Mu would lead the 500 demon army and the 500 Yuncheng human army to set up a checkpoint to defend between Liaocheng and Yuncheng. He and Sun Yiren rode two fast horses and rushed towards Liaocheng.
At noon, the two had already arrived at the city of Liaocheng.
When Su Peng came to Liaocheng, he saw a bleak scene here. The defenders at the door had long disappeared. The gates of Liaocheng were wide open, and there were no defenders on the walls. He could only occasionally see some people from Liaocheng coming out of the city. It seemed that they were all healthy people who had left the city and fled.
However, neither the Yuwen family in Yuzhou nor Su Peng in Liangzhou can allow these people who may carry the source of the plague to enter their territory. Those who go out to escape can also foresee the future is bleak.
Sun Yiqiu and Su Peng were waiting at the gate of Liaocheng City. Not long after, Sun Yiqiu saw that there seemed to be a few figures flying towards this place in the distance. He pulled Su Peng and said, "Here you come!"
