Although Lin Mengya was in a horse carriage, Long Tianhao had ordered her to deliver a sealed letter to Lin Mengya regardless of the weather.
Every time Lin Mengya unfolded the yellowish letter, she would frown.
Her dainty appearance, however, was shrouded in a myriad of worries.
Long Tianhao felt sorry for her, but he knew that Lin Mengya did this because there was something strange about this matter.
"You must be tired. Take a rest."
From night to day, Lin Mengya carefully studied the situation in the epidemic area, except for eating and sleeping.
The more she understood, the more she felt that there was something fishy about the plague this time.
The characteristic of plague was that it was highly contagious and had a high prevalence rate. However, the probability of being infected varied from person to person.
Take smallpox, for example. Even when it was rampant, there were many lucky ones who managed to escape the calamity because of their physique.
However, this time it was different.
According to the letter sent by Long Tianhao's men, once the plague spread, no one would be spared.
Everyone, from 80-year-old people to newborn babies, would be infected. Therefore, the mortality rate should be extremely high.
But the fact was not so.
Except for the first outbreak site in Yun State, the death rate in other states was much lower, although many people were infected.
Logically speaking, the plague virus should not be showing signs of weakening in its spread.
Unless, as she guessed, the plague was not a disease, but a poison!
In this case, it could explain why, except for Yun State, the incidence and death rate in other states were greatly reduced.
The other prefectures were probably just fish caught in the crossfire.
"Long Tianhao, is there any specialty in Yun State? It's better if there are few nearby states, or the quality is not as good as that in Yun State. Do they always go to Yun State to purchase goods? "
Lin Mengya tilted her head and looked at Long Tianhao with some doubts in her eyes.
Long Tianhao thought for a while and found the answer.
"Yun State is a land of water and rice. The rice produced in other states is far less delicious than that produced in Yun State. Moreover, Yun State is known as the granary of Dajin. Almost all the grain stores in the Great Jin have rice produced in the Yunzhou. "
Lin Mengya let out a long sigh. She had finally found the answer.
However, this answer made her heart feel heavy.
"I think I know what these people are after. They wanted to destroy the granary of Yunzhou. In this case, the food shortage will cause panic among the people. "
Lin Mengya stretched out her slender index finger and gently rubbed her temples.
This matter was simply too sinister.
Even if he wanted to cut off the food supply and output of Yunzhou, he definitely shouldn't have used such a method.
The people of Yunzhou were so innocent. Because of this secret plot, they were almost forced to break up their families.
No matter how he thought about it, only the Crown Prince and the Queen would do something like this.
No matter how powerful the Candle Dragon Cult was, if it weren't for the Crown Prince and the Empress, how could the Candle Dragon Cult be so rampant?
Moreover, this plague could not have happened earlier or later. It just had to happen when the Emperor had just recovered and Long Tianhao was not in the country.
Moreover, when the Emperor was seriously ill, the Crown Prince was in charge of the country.
If it weren't for those aristocratic families in Yunzhou who were on guard against the Crown Prince, the imperial court would have changed.
If she were the Crown Prince and the Queen, she would probably vent her anger on those aristocratic families.
Now, Yunzhou was ruined. The people were uneasy, and the foundations of those aristocratic families must have been shaken.
It was not the best time for the Crown Prince and the others to stir up trouble in such a precarious situation.
What was more, although the Emperor had recovered, there were very few people around him who could be used.
Those aristocratic families who could be relied on were now being destroyed, and they were in great pain. With this, the number of people around the emperor would be stretched to the limit.
In this way, the plague could not be effectively contained, and the people would definitely resent the imperial court.
The Crown Prince seized the opportunity and pretended to be worried about the country and the people. At that time, it would be difficult to deal with it.
What a trick to kill three birds with one stone. He was obviously a malicious ghost, but he pretended to be a kind Bodhisattva.
It seemed that the Crown Prince had been unscrupulous in order to become the emperor.
"I also thought so. He is also a citizen of Jin State, but he has been unscrupulous in order to become the emperor!"
His voice was mixed with anger that made people's hearts tremble.
He rarely got angry like this. Long Tianhao had always treated the Crown Prince as a brother.
Now, this trace of familial love had vanished along with the Crown Prince's methods growing more ruthless by the day.
"It's not just the Crown Prince. Don't you think it's a little similar to the Immortal Powder that controlled you?"
Lin Mengya was almost sure now.
Such a scheme must be done by the Candle Dragon Cult.
Only that mysterious and huge organization could do such a crazy thing.
The lives of the people were like grass in their eyes.
"Of course, I'm aware of this. They were the only ones who would do such harmful things. The State of Jin is doomed. "
For no reason, Long Tianhao felt a sense of powerlessness in his heart.
But then, the sense of powerlessness forcibly dispelled the determination hidden deep in his heart, which he had never been willing to admit defeat easily.
So what if the Candle Dragon Cult was complicated? He could be patient and dig out its festering foundation bit by bit.
Then, little by little, he would make it lose its nourishment and the paradise where it could do evil.
No matter how powerful it was, it still had to slowly wither and eventually turn into a withered branch and a withered leaf.
Only in this way could he get rid of its foundation, cut off its wings, and make it impossible for it to rise again!
Lin Mengya tilted her head and looked worriedly at Long Tianhao in front of her, whose expression changed.
Although this guy always looked as immovable as a mountain, he had an extraordinary sense of responsibility.
In fact, this was also a man's advantage. But sometimes, for a man, it was more like a big stone.
If he could stand it, he would be indomitable. If he was crushed, it would be difficult for him to make a comeback.
However, seeing that Long Tianhao's expression became gentle, Lin Mengya was relieved.
Finally, he didn't get into a dead end. Only in this way could he achieve great things.
"It doesn't matter if we can't escape or fly away. They will take action sooner or later. Besides, we rushed back in time. The Nation of Lintian is in a mess now. I guess the news of our return must have been blocked in this chaos. We left in such a hurry that those people in the dark probably didn't expect it. "
Even Long Tianhao had to admire Lin Mengya's meticulous and agile mind.
Looking at her face, there was a little smugness that she always couldn't hide when she schemed against others.
Long Tianhao's heart was heavy with worry, but at this moment, he seemed to be relieved.
"That's right."
He stretched out a pair of big hands and held her in his arms.
Even if the Crown Prince colluded with the Candle Dragon Cult, so what?
With this little fox by his side, even if it was the world, he could still fight.
Moreover, what about the idiot Crown Prince and the vicious empress?
The horse carriage sped on the territory of the Nation of Lintian. Although the news of Zuo Qiuchen, the new emperor of Lintian, wiping out the conservative forces in a thunderous manner was everywhere, the lives of the people were actually not affected much.
However, they always heard that some relatives who used to be awe-inspiring were now exiled, imprisoned, and confiscated, which gave these people a topic of gossip after tea.
However, they didn't expect that Lin Mengya, the Princess Anle who stirred up the deep waters of the Nation of Lintian, was now sitting in an inconspicuous horse carriage, rushing in the direction of the Jin State without attracting anyone's attention.
The horse carriage didn't stop, but the coachman and the galloping horses changed one after another.
Under Zuo Qiuchen's intentional care, Lin Mengya and the others smoothly arrived at the border of the two countries without any hindrance.
After a long and dusty journey, they once again returned to the Immortal's Road, where she almost lost her life. The horse carriage stopped at the end of the Immortal's Road. Lin Mengya couldn't help sighing in her heart, as if it was a lifetime ago.
"Baishao is already waiting for us in Square Town. Don't worry, she's fine."
Long Tianhao stood behind her and supported her slender waist with his big hands.
He whispered softly behind her ear.
She hadn't had a good rest during the past few days of running.
His complexion was a lot more haggard, but he was in good spirits. She could still talk and laugh with him, but most of the time, she was nestled in his arms, sleeping lightly, or discussing the plague in detail.
Long Tianhao's heart ached as he looked at her face, which was getting thinner and thinner day by day.
"Yeah, I miss her too. It was said that Xiao Yixin He went to the capital? I hope that your journey will be safe. If you have his help, I believe that it will definitely be of help to the plague. "
She had only taken a few steps forward when the strong wind from the bottom of the cliff almost blew her to the side.
She smiled bitterly and shook her head. It seemed that ever since she crossed over to this world, she had always been in such a fragile state.
At this time, she kind of missed the time when she was in modern times. Even though she had suffered a lot, her body was still strong.
Not to mention that the mutated poison in her body had not been cleared, which always cast a shadow over her heart.
It seemed that after finishing the important things, she had to put the development of medicine for herself on the agenda.
