Chapter 222: Horrifying News
The doctor sighed softly, "Your Majesty has a fever for only one reason. The toxins have consumed too much of your physical strength, and you haven't been nourished after the toxins have been removed. In the final analysis, it's because your body is too weak."
Rong Que hugged Su Qingqing's arms tightly. He was thin to begin with, and now he was even thinner than before, with a knife-like face and a pointed chin.
As they were talking, the monk came in from outside. Wang Yu immediately jumped up and asked, "How is it?"
In fact, when monks go out to explore the way, they have great hope in their hearts, after all, they are monks.
But seeing that the monk had nothing in his hands, Wang Yu jumped up and took a deep breath, feeling something was wrong.
Sure enough, the next moment I heard the monk say, "The county town doesn't let outsiders in at all. I said I wanted to go to Fahua Temple, but the gatekeeper told me that Fahua Temple had posted a clear notice at the beginning of this month that it would not accept any monks from other temples.
Tell me, if you want to stay overnight, go to the next county, if you have other things to do, wait until the bandit problem in Datong County is over. "
In order not to arouse the other party's suspicion, the monk did not dare to dwell on it any longer.
Even monks can't get in, so it's even more impossible for the rest of them to enter the county town through normal channels .
Wang Yu turned to Rong Que and said, "Your Highness, how about I climb over the wall in the middle of the night? This is our former base. The general kept a lot of people in Datong at that time."
Rong Que knew about this when he was hiding Su Jinghe here.
At this point, there was no other choice but for Wang Yu to take the risk and make the trip.
Due to the serious bandit problem, the entire city was guarded all night. Wang Yu spent nearly an hour rubbing his head outside the city wall before he finally found a place to start.
Relying on his excellent martial arts skills, he flew up and threw a stone in his hand, knocking out two yamen runners guarding the city wall. He then sneaked in quietly.
Fortunately, he had good martial arts skills and rich combat experience, so he immediately found a shelter to hide in the moment he entered. Otherwise, he would have walked in so brazenly and was caught by a group of people who happened to be patrolling in less than two steps .
"What's going on over there? Is he asleep or something? Go check it out!"
Just as Wang Yu hid himself, he heard a cold and hard voice, and immediately two yamen runners ran towards the two people he had knocked unconscious.
Fortunately, the force he used to knock them out was not strong, and the two men did not even realize that they had fainted. They just thought they had taken a nap and were woken up. They hurriedly apologized to the person who came, feeling uneasy and guilty, "Master Zhao, please spare us. We have been guarding for three consecutive nights and we just couldn't bear it. Don't worry, it won't happen again."
The man called Mr. Zhao was the magistrate of Datong County, whose name was Zhao Ji.
He said in a serious tone, "The rules cannot be violated. Tomorrow morning, the two of you will go to the government office and receive twenty strokes of the cane each."
After the punishment words were spoken, there was a pause, and the voice became a little kinder.
“I know you are tired, but now the imperial court won’t send troops, and we can’t find any other way to fight these evil bandits except to hold on.
Everyone just has to work harder, fortunately there is enough food in the city.
If we really let these bandits rush in…"
When he said this, his voice trembled, and he took a deep breath as if he couldn't bear this topic.
"You all know exactly what the tragedy is in Qingshui County. We all have wives, children, brothers and sisters at home. As long as we are alive, we must not let those bandits in!"
The two guards felt guilty and embarrassed, "Don't worry, sir, we will definitely pay attention to it."
Zhao Ji gave a few more instructions and went to the next place for inspection.
Hearing the people walking away, Wang Yu quietly came out from behind the bunker, feeling puzzled. It stood to reason that it had only been less than half a month since King Yu's rebellion, so how come the bandit problem here sounded so serious?
Logically speaking, when bandits cause chaos, these county governments without garrisons should report to the imperial court.
But why didn't I hear any noise before?
Moreover, even if the county government does not report it, they have their own people in Datong, and they should report the news here in a timely manner.
Confused in his heart, Wang Yu walked quickly in the night.
He had been to Datong twice when he was settling Su Jinghe . Although he was not familiar with the place, he was still familiar with finding the stationing point of his own people.
It was a small shop on the street that sold pens, ink, paper and inkstones. The owner and his clerks slept in the backyard.
Because of his previous suspicion, Wang Yu did not knock on the door and directly climbed over the wall to go in.
Although the streets and alleys outside were silent and no one was around, when I entered the courtyard I saw lights on in the house.
Anyone?
Why don't you send out messages?
Wang Yu took a deep breath and tiptoed towards the house.
"Brother, is there any accurate news from the Marquis? When can we enter the capital? We can't just stay in this broken county town forever."
"Why are you in such a hurry? Although this county town is shabby, it has everything. If you ever run out of fun, Kyoto is prosperous. Can you still live so comfortably in Kyoto ? Don't make trouble for no reason."
"That's right, if you ask me, it's my elder brother's fault. If it weren't for Marquis Rong'an urging us to go to Beijing as soon as possible, I would not be willing to leave Yecheng and come here.
Yecheng is so good, the mountains are high and the emperor is far away, we can do whatever we want. When we really go to the capital, we still have to see Rong Anhou's eyes, and now the capital is not peaceful, Rong Anhou himself can't protect himself, it's really unlucky to encounter such a thing. "
"Brother, I am still very curious about who those shop assistants and shopkeepers we killed were. Why did the Marquis let us kill them and why did we not get any follow-up results?"
The man called Big Brother spoke in an old, impatient voice, "Why are you asking so many questions? Even donkey piss can't stop you from talking!"
Wang Yu outside was so frightened by the noise inside that he was drenched in cold sweat on this cold winter night.
Are all their people dead?
Are these people inside from Rong'an Marquis Mansion?
From Yecheng?
Isn’t Yecheng...a city of Zhao State?
Standing outside, Wang Yu's blood boiled all over his body. He wished he could rush in with a knife and kill those bastards. He clenched his fists tightly and his eyes were almost bleeding.
At this moment, a series of ping-pong sounds came from inside the door, and then the tightly closed door was pulled open by someone.
"I'll go drain the water, drain the water."
The drunk man staggered out of the house, holding on to the door frame. Wang Yu dodged him.
The man didn't care about that and didn't even go to the toilet. As soon as he went out, he took two steps forward to the wall and opened the gate to release the water.
He was humming an obscene tune.
Wang Yu clenched his fists and stared at him like a wild animal staring at its food.
Just when the man was halfway through ejaculating and his whole body trembled, Wang Yu suddenly pounced on him, raised his hand and slapped him down, knocking him unconscious quickly and efficiently, then carried him on his shoulder and walked away.
