The Grand Secretary’s Pampered Wife

Chapter 504: The Perfect Solution (One Update)

"That won't work!" Gu Changqing refused without thinking.

How terrible the plague is, he is not unexperienced, almost every disaster or war will have a plague outbreak, it's just a matter of priority.

Some epidemic diseases can be curbed in time if they are discovered in time and the control is strong. However, deaths and injuries are still inevitable.

He didn't allow her to risk herself.

"I'm a doctor, and I'll be fine." Gu Jiao said, taking out a small medicine box from the small backpack, taking out gloves and goggles, putting them on, and taking out an isolation gown to put on.

Seeing her taking out so many strange things from a small medicine box, Gu Changqing didn't know what to say for a while.

"you……"

He opened his mouth.

Gu Jiao fastened the last two straps on the isolation gown, and said to Gu Changqing, "I have these, so I won't be afraid of infection!"

It stands to reason that the effect of protective clothing is the best, but there is no protective clothing in the small medicine box, only surgical gowns, and only one appears, which is her size.

No one can change what Gu Jiao decides. Even if Gu Changqing doubts that he is going to kill someone, Gu Jiao will still follow her, unless he puts her acupoints here, but in case the remnant soldiers from the previous dynasty come back, they will be left alone by acupoints. She is in danger here.

After thinking about it again and again, Gu Changqing had no choice but to agree to her going.

Gu Jiao didn't bring the red-tasseled spear, so she drew the dagger from her waist.

Gu Changqing gave her his dagger in exchange: "Use this."

This dagger is longer and sharper than Gu Jiao's dagger.

"Okay." Gu Jiao didn't refuse.

"You open the door." Gu Changqing said.

"Yes." Gu Jiao also agreed.

See, she's very obedient most of the time.

Gu Jiao came to the dead man's room with a dagger, raised her hand and knocked on the door.

The sound of footsteps came from the direction of the wooden bridge. The dead man thought it was the remnant soldiers from the previous dynasty, so he opened the door.

The moment the door opened, the dead man sensed something was wrong, he slammed the door shut, but it was a step too late, Gu Jiao kicked the door, and stabbed the dead man's waist with the dagger in his hand!

It was a conditioned reflex for the dead man to close the door, and he immediately regretted it afterwards, what kind of door did he close, just kill him!

However, the opportunity is fleeting, if he directly attacks Gu Jiao, Gu Jiao may not be able to succeed.

Gu Jiao's knife was fast, ruthless and accurate,

There is absolutely no room for the dead to breathe.

She pulled out the knife, and blood splashed all over her!

The dead man fell straight to the ground, dying without knowing why he died.

Gu Changqing saw the blood of the dead man splattered all over Gu Jiao, stood up from behind the bushes, and strode towards Gu Jiao.

Gu Jiao stretched out her hand and gestured to him to stop: "I'm fine, don't come over!"

It's full of infected blood.

Gu Changqing stopped on the bridge and looked at her worriedly.

Gu Jiao dragged the dead man into the cabin, where firewood was burned. Gu Jiao originally planned to burn the body together with the house, but after a moment of hesitation, she changed her mind.

She looked around the house but couldn't find the shovel, so she knocked on the door next door.

Unexpectedly, the people inside dared not open the door at all.

Immediately afterwards, she changed several cabins, but no one opened the door for her without exception.

"Is it because I didn't speak? They don't know who I am, or do they think I'm someone?" Gu Jiao was hesitating whether to speak, when the door of the cabin at the far east opened.

The young man who had just tried to escape but was brutally injured by the dead man limped out.

The young man looked curiously at Gu Jiao who was dressed in a strange outfit, and then at the body lying in a pool of blood in front of the dead man's room, and he recognized that it was the dead man's body.

He froze for a moment.

Gu Jiao simply walked towards him and asked him, "Is there a shovel?"

The young man was startled again, girl? !

This, this, this is a girl!

"Is there a shovel?" Gu Jiao asked again.

"Ah, yes, yes, yes, you...girl...uh..." The young man didn't know how to address her, and stammered, "Do you want a shovel?"

Gu Jiao: "Yes."

The young man turned around to get the shovel. Perhaps because he was too nervous and flustered, he slammed into the door panel with his whole body, making him dizzy and staring at his eyes.

After he entered the room, Gu Jiao heard the deliberately lowered conversation.

"Who's here?"

"I don't know him, but he probably isn't from King Yi."

King Yi, the leader of the remnants of the previous dynasty, is said to be the son-in-law's uncle.

"You're crazy! They don't let us talk to people outside, and they don't let us open the door to people outside, or they will kill us!"

"What's the difference between us here and waiting to die? What's more, she killed that person, she must have come to help us!"

"You also know!"

"I don't care, I'm going to escape anyway!"

After saying this, the young man came out with a shovel in his hand.

He handed the shovel to Gu Jiao: "Here."

Gu Jiao was about to reach out to grab it, when he thought of something, he immediately took the shovel back, took a step back, and said to Gu Jiao, "We are the ones who got the plague, be careful not to get infected."

"I know." Gu Jiao stepped forward and took the shovel from his hand, "Thank you."

"Hey—" The young man wanted to say something, but Gu Jiao turned around and left.

Gu Jiao dug a hole behind the village, halfway through the digging, the young man came over: "Do you want to dig a hole? Let me help you."

"No need." Gu Jiao said.

Although it was rejected, the young man slipped into the pit with another shovel.

Gu Jiao glanced at him and said nothing.

The speed of two people was much faster than that of one person, a big hole was dug in a short while, Gu Jiao jumped into it and pulled him up too.

The young man was a little hesitant at first, but he could see that she was wearing gloves. It seemed that this was not considered a skin relationship, so he handed Gu Jiao his hand.

Gu Jiao dragged the dead man's body over, threw it into the pit, threw it into the pit together with the firewood, and set it on fire.

The young man swallowed, and asked with some fear and curiosity, "Did you really kill it?"

He just said this to his roommate to appease his roommate, but he couldn't believe it.

This is a master!

"Hmm." Gu Jiao hummed.

The young man asked suspiciously: "Who are you? Why did you kill him? Have your relatives been arrested by them?"

Speaking of this, he scratched his head and said embarrassingly: "Ah, do I have too many questions? You don't need to say it! You killed him, you are a good person!"

Gu Jiao's expression didn't change much, she asked: "Who are all the people locked up here?"

The young man said: "There are all kinds of people, traffickers, pawns, squires."

Gu Jiao asked, "Isn't it a villager who lives here?"

The young man lamented: "The villagers here were killed by them a long time ago. We were all caught later, and our family members were also taken away by them. If we were disobedient, they would torture our family members, or take us to death." His family members were also sent to wait to die."

Gu Jiao looked at him: "What about you? Why are you disobedient?"

"I have no family." The young man's mood became depressed. His family members were all dead, killed by the remnants of the previous dynasty.

I see.

Gu Jiao paused, and said: "Those soldiers only come to deliver meals every day, will they do other things? For example, check on you or something."

The young man shook his head: "No, they dare not approach at all, you are the first one. Seriously, aren't you afraid of being infected? Or...are you already infected?"

"I'm not infected." Gu Jiao said.

The young man hurriedly said: "Then you should leave here quickly! They will come to deliver dinner in an hour or so. If they find you here and kill their people, they will not let you go!"

Gu Jiao: "What's your name?"

The young man said: "My name is Shen Xuan, my parents call me Little Shitou."

Gu Jiao looked at him firmly: "Little Shitou, can I trust you?"

...

It was an hour after they came out of Lingguan City, Gu Changqing and Gu Jiao found the forest where the horses were hidden earlier, and brought their horses out.

"Are you really okay?" Gu Changqing asked.

He asked about her physical condition.

Gu Jiao got it wrong, thinking that he was worried about the situation in the village.

She said: "Those soldiers leave every time they put down the food box, and they don't even go into the house to check if the person inside is still there. When delivering breakfast, the dead soldier will knock on his own door, which is a signal that he is still alive. Knowing that he is still alive, he will not question the situation in the village. Xiao Shishi moved to the dead man's house, and he will knock on the door every day from now on."

Gu Changqing said again: "What about the rest? Will he be confessed?"

Gu Jiao said: "If they want themselves and their families to survive, they won't."

She promised to save their family and left enough medicine so that as long as they took the medicine carefully and on time, they would not die of the plague.

In addition, Gu Jiao also told them that the Gu family army had arrived at the frontier, and the person standing on the wooden bridge was the young master of the Gu family army.

The imperial court did not give up the land of Zhaoguo, let alone the people in the frontier fortress.

Gu Changqing was deeply moved, his sister is really capable.

"How long will the treatment take?" Gu Changqing asked.

"Seven to ten days." Gu Jiao said, "He will think carefully about the escape route in the next few days, and if he attacks the city, he will be notified in advance, and he will escape with the people in the village. He will not escape to crowded places. place, he understands the contagiousness of the plague."

Gu Changqing pondered for a moment, and said, "In this case, there will be nothing to worry about."

The original plan was to attack Lingguan City first. Lingguan City has a special geographical location, forming a corner with Yuegu City and Yecheng. After capturing it, they can attack Yecheng from both sides.

Of course, correspondingly, when attacking Lingguan City, it is easy to be flanked by the remnants of the previous dynasty and the army of Chen Guo in Yecheng.

Gu Changqing is not afraid that the enemy troops from the two cities will join forces. He has already found out their strength. Lingguan City has 30,000 defenders, Yecheng has 30,000 defenders, and Gu's army has 100,000. not afraid.

Beiyang City is on the other side of Yecheng, as long as they move fast enough, the enemy army from Beiyang City will not come over so quickly.

"Beiyang City is about to increase its troops." Gu Jiao said.

"And this?" Gu Changqing frowned slightly.

Gu Jiao nodded: "Well, Xiao Shitou said that when he was arrested and taken to the prefect's mansion, he overheard the conversation between the son-in-law and a certain general of the Chen Kingdom."

Chen Guo originally had 80,000 troops stationed at the frontier fortress. After hearing that the 100,000 Gu family troops marched towards the frontier fortress, Prince Bo also dispatched 100,000 troops from all over the Chen country.

The 80,000 troops of Chen Guo's army have lost 20,000 troops, plus the 30,000 troops from the remnants of the previous dynasty, there are still 90,000 troops left. As long as there is no outbreak of plague, Gu's army can hardly deal with these 90,000 horses.

But if Chen Guo's 100,000 reinforcements arrived, it might be a different story.

Gu Changqing nodded: "From this point of view, the 30,000 army in Beiyang City is not a big threat."

The 100,000 reinforcements on the road are the only ones.

Gu Jiao said: "But if you can bully the few with more every time, you can minimize the casualties of Gu's army, then even if Chen Guo's reinforcements come, there may not be no chance of winning."

Gu Changqing: Why do you suddenly feel that bullying the few with more is a good thing?

What Gu Jiao didn't say was that, rather than how to deal with Chen Guo's 100,000 reinforcements, she wanted to find out the former dead soldier who was hiding in the dark as soon as possible.

Without the plague incident, Gu Changqing would not have searched for medicine, so what opportunity would the dead man find to attack Gu Changqing?

The two returned to Yuegu City together, and after entering the city, the two went to the military camp first.

As soon as they arrived at the gate of the barracks, the two saw the excited Eunuch Cheng.

Cheng Taishou's body was covered with snowflakes. It seemed that there was a snowfall in Yuegu City after they left, and this Cheng Taishou had been waiting in the heavy snow.

"General Gu! Doctor Gu!"

When Taishou Cheng saw Gu Changqing and Gu Jiao, his eyes lit up and he cupped his hands to greet them.

He already knew the identities of Gu Chengfeng and Gu Jiao, and he was extremely glad that he had not offended them.

Gu Changqing looked at him and asked lightly, "What's the matter?"

"what……"

This slightly serious tone made Taishou Cheng's heart skip a beat, and he suddenly realized that Gu Changqing was asking him why he left his post without authorization and appeared here?

Yuegu City has just ended a battle, and there are still many things to take care of. As the prefect of Yuegu City, he should have dealt with the resettlement of the people.

"The little one just came from the porridge shed." He couldn't help breaking into a cold sweat, but fortunately he did brave the wind and snow to help the victims all afternoon, "The little one is here to report the situation to General Gu."

"It's cold outside, you go inside first." Gu Changqing lifted the curtain of the tent and let Gu Jiao enter the tent, his tone was so gentle that he was completely different from the serious General Gu just now.

After Gu Jiao entered, Gu Changqing's tone became light again: "You don't need to report your own affairs to me."

"Ah... yes! yes!"

General Gu can change his face faster than turning the pages of a book.

Cheng Taishou was muttering in his heart, but he smiled mischievously on his face, and said: "I have one more thing to report to General Gu."

"What's the matter?" Gu Changqing asked.

"Old Hou Ye is awake!" Cheng Taishou said with a smile.
