Three days later, the city guard's mansion.

All the high-level members of Yunchong City gathered here.

In addition to generals at all levels, there are also some famous merchants, Xiao Yun and Liu Longting are among them.

Ding Xuefeng sat in the middle and said with a serious face.

"I think everyone already knows the current situation. There have been a large number of dead people in the city recently, and the number is still increasing."

Having said that, he paused, and quickly continued talking.

"The most serious thing is that after investigation by medical officers, this is a highly contagious plague that will lie dormant in the human body for quite a while."

"Once it erupts, the whole body will turn blue, the seven orifices will bleed, and you will die unexpectedly."

After the words fell, everyone's faces sank, and they all understood what this would mean.

If it can't be controlled, the entire Yunchong City will become a ghost town.

In the lobby, there was silence.

Everyone was shocked by this huge news.

It seemed that there was a huge shadow hanging over their heads, making it difficult to breathe.

Silence, endless silence.

After a while, Xiao Yun slowly got up and asked with burning eyes.

"If... if those infected people are eliminated, will others continue to be infected?"

His voice was hoarse.

His question made many people frown.

If it is possible, then those who are infected will be ruthlessly cleaned up.

just afraid...

Everyone focused their eyes on Ding Xuefeng, afraid of hearing some answers they didn't want to hear.

However, the reality is cruel, Ding Xuefeng gasped violently, and said.

"So far, the source of the plague outbreak has not been found, and the spread of the disease cannot be stopped simply by eliminating the sick."

As the voice fell, the atmosphere in the room became more and more depressing.

The current situation can no longer be worse.

Everyone knows how terrible the plague is.

If the source cannot be found, then everyone in the entire Yunchong City will be buried together.

"Then what do we do now?"

A general slammed the table down, his face full of anger.

Panic and despair began to spread in the house.

Ding Xuefeng, who was standing on the top, suddenly took a step forward. .

With firm eyes, a majestic aura erupted from his body, like a waking tiger.

"Of course we can't give up easily. I have already ordered people to gather all the patients with symptoms together."

"The top priority now, besides controlling the epidemic, is to hurry up and figure out the source of the plague."

After saying this, Ding Xuefeng turned his head and looked at an old man in green clothes sitting on the left. .

"Old Song, will the county respond?"

The old man's name is Song Ke, and he is the medical officer of Yunchong City.

Hearing Ding Xuefeng's question, he bowed his head slightly, his face full of regret.

"My lord, Beijiang County's current reply is: Temporarily blockade Yunchong City, allowing entry and no exit..."

As soon as his words came out, the surrounding atmosphere could be said to have dropped to freezing point again.

Everyone knows that once the plague spreads widely, doctors are the backbone.

Without support, they will be left alone...

Looking at the emotions of everyone, there is a tendency to continue to decline.

Ding Xuefeng knew that he couldn't continue.

Otherwise, the bad news one after another will cause those in power to be the first to collapse emotionally.

At that time, Yunchong City will fall into even greater chaos.

"Mr. Song, please continue to pass on the book to the county. We need the support of doctors."

Song Ke nodded helplessly, but the ashen face said everything.

Ding Xuefeng looked at the others.

"From now on, all shops will quietly hoard food and medicinal herbs, and they must not announce it to the outside world."

"Families, restrain your children and try not to go out."

"Once you find a patient, report it in time, and don't hide it privately, otherwise... don't blame me for being rude."

In the dull atmosphere, everyone left slowly.

Only Ding Xuefeng and Lu Yang were left.

Ding Xuefeng frowned tightly, like a dark cloud that couldn't be melted away.

This matter, the more he thought about it, the more wrong it became.

The sound of hurried footsteps outside the door interrupted his thoughts.

A personal guard walked into the lobby quickly, knelt on one knee, and said.

"City guard, senior Qing Lingzi from the Spring and Autumn Dao Palace outside the gate is visiting."

Hearing this, Ding Xuefeng's expression changed, anger appeared in his eyes, and he muttered to himself.

"Sure enough... it's him!"

Then, he turned his head to look at Lu Yang, and ordered hastily.

"Lu Yang, the defenders at the top of the city, double the number for me, and keep an eye on those barbarians in the northwest grassland!"

Lu Yang was puzzled by his order.

"City guard, the plague in the city is serious now, we don't help, why are we staring at those barbarians..."

Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Ding Xuefeng's furious roar.

"Do as I say, don't worry about the plague, go!!"

Lu Yang trembled all over, he had never seen the other party get so angry, and immediately said with his hands clasped.

"The last will obey!"

After speaking, he walked out quickly.

Ding Xuefeng gasped violently for a few times, then calmed down slowly, and said.

"Go, invite the Taoist priest to come in."

After a while, Qing Lingzi walked into the lobby with fluttering robes.

Seeing Ding Xuefeng sitting in the middle, he spoke directly without talking nonsense.

"Master City Guard, the battle between dragon and snake will start in ten days, please be prepared."

Ding Xuefeng showed a chill on his face, and slowly got up, his aura became stronger and stronger.

"The plague in the city was caused by you?"

Qing Lingzi didn't hide anything, and nodded calmly.

"Why do this?"

"The city guard doesn't know?"

Looking at the furious Ding Xuefeng, Qing Lingzi was surprised.

Then, without waiting for the other party to speak, he answered directly.

"It's actually very simple, in order to make Yunchong City an isolated city."

"For the sake of this battle between dragon and snake, it is more fair."

Ding Xuefeng was taken aback, and asked in confusion.

"Fair? What do you mean?"

"May I ask if the city guard has received the order?"

Qing Lingzi asked.

Ding Xuefeng nodded.

"Three months ago, I received a secret order from His Majesty that those prairie barbarians will come to attack the city."

"Yes, that's it."

Ding Xuefeng's face turned red, and his voice raised an octave.

"Then why did you create this plague?"

Qing Lingzi came to the main seat with his hands behind his back, turned around and sat down, and said lightly.

"To put it simply, the purpose of this battle between dragon and snake is to select disciples from the four sects."

Having said that, his voice paused, and his eyes suddenly became sharp.

"However, the main pick is the Fengman tribe. Yunchong City is just a sharpening stone."

"What did you say?"

Ding Xuefeng was shocked and roared sharply.

"Use the lives of my soldiers and people all over the city to select disciples for your sect?!"

Facing Ding Xuefeng, that gaze seems to be choosing someone to devour.

Qing Lingzi didn't have the slightest fear, got up and walked out.

"Emperor Chu has agreed, and Yunchong City has been abandoned."

Qing Lingzi walked to the door, turned to glance at Ding Xuefeng, and said.

"Master City Guard, prepare well, the lonely city is very fair to the lonely army!"

His tone was cold, as if blowing from hell.

Ding Xuefeng took a few steps back and sat down slumped.

The originally determined face was filled with various complex emotions at the moment.

Disappointment, anger, unwillingness, despair...
