496. After the disaster, stability is above all else

One night passed.

When the sun rose as usual, the Taoist who dared not say that he was as good as before, but who at least recovered 30% to 40% of his spiritual consciousness, walked out of the bedroom.

He is a little hungry.

I really want to eat something.

As soon as she went out, she saw Little Cui Nvxia taking a nap on the doorstep.

I don’t know how long the innocent baby stayed here.

He was stunned for a moment, then quickly shouted:

"Jushi Cui, Jushi Cui~"

"……ah?"

Cui Caiwei looked up in a daze, and when she saw it was Li Zhen, she didn't react at first. After blinking, her thoughts returned, and she suddenly jumped up:

"Taoist! You're awake!"

"Um."

Li Zhen nodded and asked:

"Where is the monk?"

"This house."

Xiao Cui Nvxia pointed to the room next to her, and Li Zhen nodded and walked over immediately.

When I opened the door, I first smelled the aroma of medicine. Then I turned around and saw Xuanzang sitting down like an old monk in trance.

The other party didn't know his arrival at all, and continued to maintain a meditative posture in meditation, cutting off everything.

At this time, Xiao Cui’s voice sounded:

"Master Xuanzang woke up an hour ago. Taoist Master Sun hurried back and checked, took medicine, and put the master into meditation. Before leaving, the Taoist Master said that the master would not wake up for at least three days. And when he woke up

After that, you have to take the elixir he refined immediately. After seven days of digesting the elixir, you can make up for the original source, and maybe... maybe it will be a blessing in disguise."

Hearing this, Li Zhen felt relieved.

Sure enough...it's great to meet Lord Medicine this time.

but……

"Where did Master Sun go?"

"Rescuing people in the mining area. There were too many miners, and some were seriously injured and could not run around. The Taoist priest asked us to set up tents overnight, left the prescriptions, and directed the doctor to brew the medicine. He went there himself

In front of the underground fire pool, some arrangements were made to prevent the spread of fire poison."

"..."

After hearing this, Li Zhen thought for a while and said:

"I'll wash my face and let's go help Daozhang Sun."

"……ah?"

Xiao Cui was obviously a little stunned, but Li Zhen didn't say anything. After arriving at the well, a golden light flashed, and the water in the "golden basin" rose up.

After washing his face and hair, he realized that... his clothes had been changed.

But this is definitely not the case for Xiao Cui Nvxia.

Not suitable.

So I didn’t care about it. After cleaning myself inside and out, I said to Xiao Cui Nvxia:

"Let's go."

…

Xiao Cui Nvxia must have privileges.

As soon as he went out, he was greeted by guards. He casually ordered the horses to be prepared. In less than a hundred breaths, the two horses had arrived.

Today's Yugaicheng no longer has the peace and tranquility of yesterday. The streets are closed and not a single pedestrian is seen.

There were soldiers patrolling around, so obviously martial law was in place.

All of a sudden, Li Zhenkong's stomach was empty.

There's nothing you can do about it, just endure it.

All the way to the city gate, as expected, the city gate was closed.

But after seeing the two men, the officer on the city wall immediately asked them to open the door without even saying anything.

The city gate opened, and after Li Zhen walked out, he also saw that the bustling city outside had become desolate, with no one around.

I don't know where those people went.

These are the only patrol teams patrolling the area.

After walking some distance, Li Zhen saw many patrolling sentries in groups of three cavalry cruising around.

Not to mention, to be honest, the decision-making of internal and external defenses, at least from the perspective of a military layman like Li Zhen, is quite impressive.

And he didn't speak the whole way, and Xiao Cui Nvxia was obviously not easy to talk either.

She may be a little naive, but she is not stupid.

Why did the defender get war horses as soon as he opened his mouth?

Why can he come and go at will in a city under martial law?

She felt guilty about all this, and she didn't believe that the Taoist priest would have thought of it.

So I have been thinking about how I should answer if asked by the Taoist Priest.

In this silence, Li Zhen finally saw countless tents and smoke on the plain in the distance.

It's summer now, and the weather has completely warmed up, so there's no need to worry about the accommodation conditions. Moreover, judging from Li Zhen's eyesight, many people in the tent can get down and walk around. Obviously, the injuries are not that serious.

.

He felt relieved.

At the same time, someone on the other side of the tent had already noticed the two of them.

After thinking about it, Li Zhen tightened the reins:

"Xu~~"

"...?"

Hearing the noise, Xiao Cui Nvxia also stopped her horse subconsciously, turned around in surprise and asked:

"Taoist Priest?"

"..."

Li Zhen thought for a while and said:

"Jushi Cui, I see that the fire has been started over there to cook rice. I wonder if I can get some pancakes for Pindao?"

"ah?"

Cui Caiwei was stunned and subconsciously went to the tent area.

She didn't need to look for her, she had already seen her second sister, who was walking this way with several guards.

"Taoist Master, are you hungry? Why don't we just go there and eat. Although the food is a bit rough, it will at least fill you up. There is also meat..."

Li Zhen didn't care about how she, a "heroine of the world", could say such a tone as if she were strolling in her own back garden, but shook her head:

"I'm not going, layman Cui can just bring me some cakes. How about that?"

"Why? These people were all saved by the Taoist Priest. Why don't you go and see what's going on?"

Cui Caiwei was really confused:

"The Taoist priest is their savior. If it weren't for the Taoist priest, they might even be dead. At this time, we must express some gratitude. Why not go?"

"..."

Li Zhenxin asked why this girl is so arrogant.

But since the other party asked, he still shook his head and explained:

"That's why I don't want to go even more. We are all injured. When we hear that the savior is coming, can't we get out of bed? If we do, we might injure our injuries. If we don't, we'll feel even more uncomfortable. Besides... we're in a big disaster right now.

, whether these miners are refugees or ordinary people in Yugui City, in the final analysis, there is something wrong with the salt mine of Cui's Trading Company.

I dare not say how big it is, but the public resentment inside and outside the city is inevitable now. If Pindao goes now, it means that everyone will understand that the person who saved them is Pindao, and Pindao is just an outsider. When outsiders save people, the locals

What are the parents who are in charge doing? Therefore, in an emergency period, it is definitely good to maintain stability first. So, at this time, Pindao thought...it would be better not to show up for the time being."

He gave his own explanation.

The starting point is for the safety of these miners...or Yu Gui.

It is true that if he had not come to Gui, then this disaster that was beyond his reach might still happen.

But how to deal with the aftermath after it happens is a science.
To be continued...
