C267 travel to epidemic area(1)

The guard at the entrance stared at her in surprise, examining her from head to foot. The entrance fell silent for a moment, and everyone looked at her quizzically.

However, Gu Qingli was very calm. She simply waved his command medallion again and put it away, quietly waiting for them to move out of the way.

Someone in the crowd said, "This is the Ghost Doctor, Li Yue."

Some people moved out of the way, and there were even more astonished looks on their faces.

The Ghost Doctor, Li Yue, had been missing for a long time. Although Gu Qing Xiao had taken advantage of her identity, only a few people in the royal family knew of it. Most people were always confused, thinking that Li Yue might have left the capital and did not want to hold on to the Mo Mansion token and suddenly appear.

Gu Qing Li walked smoothly. Other than some people throwing flabbergasted looks at her from time to time, there was no one stopping or interrogating her. The Fire Hou Battalion was under martial law, and they also entered and left freely.

There was a small market in the surrounded area, which was basically doing business for the nearby residents. Currently, the narrow street was filled with broken vegetables and scattered, worthless goods, and there were no more merchants living here. On the other hand, there was a small street at the back next to the nearest village.

Gu Qingli knew that the first plague came from that small village. There was a dense forest behind the village, and in any forest, there would be plenty of insects and ants. Naturally, the speed at which the plague spread was very fast.

The people on both sides of the street were complaining. After being trapped for two days, there were some farmers who didn't have enough food left. They began to worry about their survival and to sigh as they left, but no one had the time to deal with this foreign woman.

Gu Qingli crossed the street and arrived at the front of the small village. There were people gathering at the head of the village, who were checking the pulse of the people in the long line, and sitting at the head of the village was an old man wearing the uniform of the imperial court. He had white hair and wore a black cloth covering his face, and on his palm was a thin silk glove that was as thin as a cicada's wing.

A few soldiers from the Fire Hou Battalion stood scattered in the distance. They were holding guns and patrolling the village. However, they all had their faces covered with cloth. Their eyes were vigilant as they didn't want to get too close to the villagers.

Once a villager was found to be suspicious, he had to open the palm of his hand and remove his shoes and socks to inspect them. The soldiers who were not found with black patches or fever were escorted to the other side of the village to be looked after, presumably to be transferred to a suspected area of infection to be quarantined; those who were found with black patches or fever were escorted directly to a few thatched cottages in the east of the village for medical treatment.

Gu Qingli looked at it for a while and felt that this place was proceeding in an orderly manner. Although the guards of the Fire Hou Battalion were crude, they were still quite orderly in their duties. It could be seen that Xiao Yijin's imperial camp could be considered well-trained.

She slowly walked forward and approached the soldiers of the Fire Hou Battalion, inquiring about the situation inside.

When she heard that it was the Ghost Doctor, Li Yue, her face relaxed a little and she replied, "These past two days have been strictly classified. This kind of diagnosis process is carried out every day, and even if you checked normal yesterday, it's hard to say if it will not happen today. Strangely enough, the quarantine inspection is so tight that there are still people who are infected and those who are sick. "

"Is the sick person treated in time?"

"It's much better that it died. It was carried to the back of the mountain and immediately set on fire."

As he said this, the soldier lowered his voice, "We cannot let the villagers know about this matter. Otherwise, if we were to create a ruckus, it would not be easy for our soldiers to suppress them."

In those days, it was emphasized to bury the body in the ground and settle down. People believed that burning the corpse would make it difficult for the dead to live peacefully, and they would not leave the corpse intact even after death. However, when the plague broke out, it was not as safe as cremation to bury a body deep, and burying a body deep took human time. Who would want to do that?

If he really wanted to suppress them, he could kill them all with five hundred people in one battalion, but if that was the case, he would not be able to explain himself in front of the emperor when he was washing the people in the village. Xiao Yijin would definitely not do something that would affect his image in the imperial court.

The patrolling soldiers were also very annoyed and frightened. This was because for the past two days, the patrolling guards at the village entrance had already been infected and quarantined. Their hearts were filled with fear.

"I heard that one day we still have to transfer a battalion. Otherwise, if it's just our battalion, we won't be able to withstand this rate."

"Who's in charge of the diagnosis and treatment?" Is there any cure or improvement? " Gu Qingli pointed at the tightly guarded thatched cottages.

The soldier's face was a bit stiff, and he didn't say anything for a while.

Gu Qingli immediately knew that the so called infected person receiving treatment was a lie. Those people were just imprisoned there, waiting to die!

She immediately became a bit angry. Such indifference and disregard for human life was really Xiao Yijin's style. Although he did not dare to suppress and kill people on a large scale, he would abandon those patients and ignore them. However, no one dared to complain, as long as they said that the treatment was ineffective, they could stall.

Gu Qingli ignored them and walked towards the thatched cottages.

Naturally, there were guards at the door as well. They didn't look like the other patrolling soldiers when they saw her. Instead, they brandished their silver spears and crossed each other to block her path, "No matter who you are, you can't just casually enter here."

"And if I do?" Gu Qingli raised an eyebrow.

The two looked at each other and said, "Are you going in or out of here?"

Gu Qingli sneered and grabbed one of the spears with her bare hands.

He turned towards her and said with anger, "I advise you to do this out of goodwill. It's full of epidemic diseases, and those who can't get out after entering, when we found out that this disease died a few days ago, a doctor sent by Lord Jing Zhaoyin went in to treat them. As a result, yesterday we lost him, and he fell down faster than some of the plague inside."

Gu Qing Li took a step back, ignoring him. He placed his finger on the spear shaft, and with a tug, a powerful force carried him to the soldier on the other side. Gu Qing Li then lifted his leg and kicked the soldier on the right side of the spear out of the man's wrist.

Gu Qing Li had dabbled in 18 different types of weapons. Although the long spear was cumbersome, it shouldn't be a problem for the time being. The silver spear spun in her palm. The spear tip hit the ground and repelled two people. However, more soldiers surrounded her and shouted, "What do you want?"

Gu Qingli pointed the spear point at the ground and heavily stabbed the spear into the ground, causing the spear shaft to tremble. She said lightly, "I'm going in to treat them. It's not difficult for you two." In his heart, she knew that the soldier who stopped her, regardless of the order, did not have any ill intentions in his heart.

The first person to be knocked down by her stroked his burning wrist and sneered, "Since you want to court death, don't blame Master Military."
