On this day, Mo Fei was enjoying the cool air in the flower hall when he saw Xi Su walked in with a solemn expression.

"What? What happened?" Murphy asked.

Xi Su pondered for a while, then said, "Mr. Zeng, who had a sudden illness at the Prince's Banquet last time, does Fu'er remember?"

Murphy nodded: "Remember, how is his condition?"

"I don't know his condition, but in recent days, several people have the same condition in a row."

"Oh? Could it be that all the people who got sick were those who attended the Banquet of the Prince who passed away last time?"

"That's right." Xi Su said, "At first they thought it was just some kind of acute illness, but now it doesn't seem to be the case."

"What do you think?" Murphy put down the teacup and sat in front of him.

"This matter is a bit strange." Xi Su glanced at Mo Fei and said, "I need to observe for a few more days, but I hope it's not what I worried about."

Murphy pondered and thought: Could it be that someone poisoned it? Or some kind of infectious disease?

"Who are the sick people? Where's the prince?" Murphy asked suddenly.

"The prince is fine. There are scribes, nobles, and warriors. It's difficult to limit the scope, and the time of onset varies. This is what makes me feel very strange."

Murphy understood what he meant. If he was poisoned, there would be no reason why the onset time would be so long apart, and the target of the poisoner was mixed. Such a random approach was really puzzling. But if it's not poisoning, then...

Xi Su hesitated for a while, and said, "I am afraid that everyone who attended the banquet last time may get sick."

"You mean we..."

Xi Su nodded: "At present, several doctors in the city are gathering together to find the source of the disease, and I hope it will be effective."

Compared with Xi Su's worries, Murphy is much more indifferent. As a modern person, he has been injected with various vaccines since childhood, and then survived firmly in the polluted exhaust gas. His resistance to viruses is definitely times higher than the ancient population. I am afraid that in this era Ordinary poisons can't kill her...

This, she firmly believed.

Ahem, but it's not the time to pay attention to this for the time being. As Xi Su said just now, it's too early to draw conclusions now, and we'll wait for a few more days.

In the next few days, the situation seemed to intensify. Originally, it was only the people who attended the banquet last time who got sick. Later, there were even several of the same cases among the civilians.

The etiology and source of the disease could not be found, and there were no signs before the onset of the disease. For the time being, it can only be speculated that it was caused by a certain food. Although no one has died, the symptoms were terrifying, with fever, rash, and occasional vomiting, which was very tormenting. The doctors collected all the food that the patient had eaten, but unfortunately they did not find anything suspicious. Worse still, the disease seems to be spreading. Even when patients are isolated, sick people appear from time to time.

In the entire Zhongdu City, there is a sense of panic that everyone is in danger.

plague! The doctors finally made such a conclusion helplessly.

The frightened prefect immediately ordered a thorough inspection of all the sick people in the city, and made sure to isolate them. However, the implementation of this order was difficult. First, the population of Zhongdu was large, and it was time-consuming to check each one. Second, this disease There seems to be an incubation period, and the time of onset is uncertain. Often, people who have no abnormality just after investigation may have the disease in the next moment. Thirdly, most of the officers and soldiers performing tasks are rude, and some patients with similar symptoms are also included in the quarantine. Column, and even the panic that was only generated in a certain range quickly affected the entire Central Capital.

The people's fear of the plague is no less than the fear of war, or even worse.

Within half a month, many people began to pack their bags and prepare to flee the city. However, there are strong enemies outside the central capital, and it is easy to enter the city, and it is difficult to leave the city, not to mention a large number of refugee teams.

So the prefect ordered the gates to be closed, and no one was allowed to leave the city. As a result, the people of Zhongdu are restless, there are always turmoils, and all kinds of terrible rumors are even more clamorous.

As the defender of the Central Capital, Di Ke had just consolidated the forces in his hands. He originally thought that it would be foolproof to protect the Central Capital, but he didn't want such an accident to happen now. Even if he sent most of the soldiers to appease the hearts of the people, it was of no avail. Not only the common people wanted to leave the Central Capital, but even many nobles began to feel uneasy.

"Plague? Is it really a plague?" Murphy looked thoughtful.

Xi Su took a sip of tea and said, "Di Ke asked me for advice today, but it's really hard to deal with such a sudden change."

Murphy glanced at him and said strangely, "You don't seem to be in a hurry at all?"

"Haha." Xi Su smiled, "To be precise, what does the survival of the Central Capital do to me?"

"Don't you want to keep the army from the Central Capital?"

"That's right, I originally had this plan." Xi Su put down the teacup and smiled lightly, "It's a pity that the plan can't keep up with the changes, and I can't do anything about it."

Murphy squinted at him, and gained a new understanding of this man's heartlessness. Compared with Wu Yue's ruthless slaughter, this person's cold and casual attitude towards world affairs is even more chilling.

"It seems that we won't be able to stay here for long." Xi Su quite sighed.

"Now that the whole city is under martial law, how do you plan to escape?"

"Heh." Xi Su smiled and looked at Murphy, and said, "It's very simple." After saying these three words, he had nothing to say.

Although Murphy really wanted to leave here, he definitely didn't leave with Xi Su. But it seems that there is no other way at present, let's take a step by step for the time being!

Soon, Murphy knew what Xi Su said was a "very easy" way to escape. In the name of stabilizing the situation in the central capital, he asked Di Ke to take advantage of the night to clear all the people who wanted to leave, including some nobles. In this way, it is not only convenient to reunite the sick people, but also to completely solve the unstable factors in the central capital. After the plague has passed, it will not be too late to move people back. This trick draws wages from the bottom of the pot, and it can't be said that it is a dangerous trick.

Di Ke did not agree immediately, but said that it would take a few days to consider. After all, if this action is discovered, the Central Capital will usher in a disaster.

Mo Fei didn't know that this was what Xi Su had in mind at first. Later, when Di Ke came to find Xi Su several times, she vaguely guessed something from their conversation, and knew that Di Ke finally agreed to this plan. This is really a great opportunity for Soo Jun, but unfortunately it is difficult to pass the news out at present.

When Murphy was at a loss, an unexpected guest appeared in front of her.

Looking at the burly man in front of him, he was in his twenties, with a clear appearance, rough clothes, and an air of laziness. It's a rude thing to do.

Murphy took a closer look at his appearance and determined that he had never seen it before, but it felt strangely familiar.

The man grinned: "Mr. Futu, I haven't seen you for a long time, you really are getting more and more radiant!"

Mo Fei looked out the door and said, "Who are you? How did you get in here?" Mo Fei knew that there was a secret whistle hidden in the courtyard of Xisu, and it was impossible for ordinary people to enter and leave at will.

"Haha." The man said, "Don't worry, a few masters outside the house were recruited into the study by Xi Su, otherwise the next person would not be able to get in smoothly."

"Then who is your Excellency?"

"It's just that you shaved your beard, and Lord Futu forgot about it?" The man made a sad expression.

Murphy looked at him carefully again, and suddenly his heart moved, and said, "Are you Lu Zang, a drinker?"

"Right." Lu Zang showed another big smile.

To be honest, if it wasn't for the impression of her voice and body shape, and the reminder of her beard, it would be really difficult for her to associate the man in front of her with the man who looked like a beggar she saw that day. At that time, she thought Lu Zang at least Forty years old.

Mo Fei was slightly overjoyed and asked, "How did Mr. Lu Zang find him?"

"Hehe, the beauty Fu'er is amazing in the Central Capital, how can you not know?" Lu Zang's face showed a playful look, and he looked up and down at Murphy's attire. To be honest, he is really suitable for women's clothing. If it wasn't for his talent and bearing that he really didn't resemble a woman, he would really doubt his gender. For now, let's put that doubt aside for now.

Mo Fei frowned and said solemnly: "Sir, don't make fun of Futu, now the time is urgent, please ask Mr.

"Okay." Lu Zang put away his cynical expression and said slowly, "I came here to tell Futu that our army will break through the Central Capital soon, please don't worry about Mr. Futu."

"So, you already know about the chaos in the Central Capital?"

Lu Zang smiled and said, "How can you not know?"

Murphy was relieved.

Lu Zang said again: "Now I can only grieve Mr. Futu to continue to stay here. With the power of the next person, it is really difficult to take you away."

"Fu Tu understands." Mo Fei pondered, "It's just that Fu Tu probably won't be able to wait for the Lord's arrival."

"Why?"

"Xi Su offered a plan to Di Ke. Three days later, Zi Shi will send a large number of people out of the central capital, and Fu Tu will also accompany him."

Lu Zang pondered and murmured, "So, this is also our army's best chance?"

Murphy nodded: "Yes, this is a good time for a raid."

"Humph!" After a moment, Lu Zang suddenly sneered: "This Qi Su is really powerful."

"He's really good."

"No, I don't know how powerful he is on weekdays, but just based on this plan, I know that he has ulterior motives."

"How can you see it?"

"What does Futu think his purpose is? To quell the turmoil in the Central Capital? No, he uses the entire Central Capital as a bait, and wants to use this to lead our army to capture this place."

Murphy looked puzzled: "How does this benefit him?"

"The advantage is that once our army is stationed in Zhongdu, it means that we must directly face this sudden plague. In this case, our army is likely to fall into chaos like the defenders of Zhongdu, and then he will secretly send people. To spread the disease and incite people's hearts, we don't need to use their soldiers and soldiers at that time, and our army can only temporarily trap the central capital."

Murphy couldn't help but take a breath. Did that man have such a plan from the beginning? Can you get away with this, and kill two birds with one stone? Could he be any more terrifying?

"Then what will our army do next?" Murphy asked.

"Haha." Lu Zang laughed, "Since he gave our army such a good opportunity, how could our army miss it?"

"But in the city..."

Lu Zang raised his eyebrows and said, "He's done all the calculations, but unfortunately he's always one move short of chess."

"Why?"

"In fact, the 'plague' in Zhongdu was all planned by Mr. Huan Han."

"So, this... this plague is all fake?"

"Yes, it was originally just to defend from the internal disintegration. Our army is fishing in troubled waters, but I didn't think that Qisu would actually create such a good opportunity for our army."

Murphy was speechless. She had to express admiration for the ingenuity of these ancients. She was a traitor. She was a little sheep in front of them.

"As for Futu's departure from the Central Capital, I will send someone to pay attention, and they will be able to take you away in the chaos."

Murphy couldn't say anything, but nodded in agreement.

When Lu Zang saw that the matter was over, he was ready to leave. Murphy stopped him suddenly, hesitated for a while, and said, "Mr. Lu Zang, can Futu ask you one thing?"

"Speaking."

"Don't spread the word about Fu Tu in Zhongdu pretending to be a woman, it's better not to even mention the lord."

Lu Zang was stunned for a moment, then showed a big smile and nodded in agreement: "After today, I will never mention to the rest that the world-famous Mr. Fu Tu once pretended to be a woman."

But unfortunately, the lord seems to have already known about it...

Completely unaware of Lu Zang's black-bellied inner activities, Murphy felt relieved and only waited for the day to leave.
