"Ok."

In fact, there is no need for the guards to remind Helos of course that he knows and does not dare to neglect. He listened to the coughing sound in the tent, his face was solemn, he covered his mouth and nose with one hand, and then opened the curtain of the tent with the other hand and walked in. .

However, before he walked in, a pungent smell came, even if he covered his mouth and nose, he could smell it.

The tent was filled with smoke at the moment. It turned out that before the guard notified Helos, the doctor who accompanied the army was called first.

The physicians all graduated from the Imperial College of Medicine with a bachelor's degree in silver chain links. They are burning a certain plant. It is said that the smoke from the burning of this plant can kill viruses and purify the air. A smoky look.

"Your Highness."

"It's too dangerous here, how did you get in?"

And a guard who was guarding the tent, who was also covering his mouth and nose, saw the eldest prince Heros and the governor of the river land, Hendry Bracken, come in, and hurriedly stopped the other party's hurried opening.

However, Helos didn't leave in a hurry when he heard the guard's words. He covered his mouth and nose and tried his best to hold his breath. He still glanced at the scene in the tent first, and then his brows couldn't help frowning slightly.

At this moment, the interior of the tent is covered with straw mats, and there are seven or eight patients lying on the straw mats. Their faces are sallow, their eyes are dull, they are constantly coughing, and they are dying on the ground.

The doctors who accompanied the army were constantly busy beside them, bringing the brewed medicinal soup to feed them, while the other side was burning herbs that could expel the virus.

"what happened?"

Then Helos did not disturb these doctors and then withdrew, and the governor of the riverlands, Bracken Jr., also followed.

Seeing the scene in the tent, Heros' face was solemn, and then he asked the guard standing at the door.

"His Royal Highness, this is the disaster-stricken people rescued in a village not far away yesterday morning."

"They were lying on the roof of their house, that's what they looked like when they first found them, but they didn't care at the time, thinking they were starving..."

The guard standing outside the tent heard the first prince's question and hurriedly answered.

"But who would want to bring them back without eating or drinking, vomiting as soon as they eat, lying on the ground and coughing all the time."

"Then we pulled them here."

The guards outside the tent repeated what happened before, and a word came to his mouth, but he swallowed it back and didn't say it.

"plague."

And the eldest prince Helos' brows did not loosen from the beginning to the end, and then he turned his head to look at Hendry again, the governor of Hejiandi didn't look very good.

Hejian is really a troubled place. Since ancient times, it has been the core of the conflict between the north and the south. If the northerners want to go south, they must pass through the Hejian, and the Hejian itself is also a place of four battles. , surrounded by powerful enemies.

Therefore, in the history of Hejiandi, the fate is tragic, and there are thousands of disasters.

If it's really a plague, it's troublesome.

Because the plague is a devastating weapon in this era, people are almost helpless in the face of this terrible enemy, and can only stop the spread of the virus by physically eliminating the infected person through powerful means.

"Is it the plague?"

However, the military doctor came out of it. His face was full of exhaustion, but he brought out a piece of good news.

"It's not certain yet, Your Highness."

"They've literally been hungry for days."

Physicians in the army could not diagnose whether these patients really had the plague, nor did they know whether the disease was contagious.

After all, the seven or eight people lying in the tent are actually two families, or even two villages, far apart. If it is really an infectious disease, then the spread is too wide.

Moreover, they were all besieged on the roof and starved for several days. The flood blocked the connection between them. According to the judgment of the military physicians, it was quite possible that it was a disease caused by starvation and cold.

But even so, the doctors also took good care of the whole body and tried not to have too much contact with the patients. Even if they came to report to His Royal Highness, they were forced to speak from a distance.

"I know."

After listening to the report of the military physician, Helos still looked solemn, but he breathed a sigh of relief, and then nodded to let him retreat first.

"Lord Hendry."

After the military doctor withdrew, Helos stood on the spot and thought for a while, then raised his head and asked.

"Is this the first case?"

"Have you heard of such a thing before?"

Although there is no way to confirm whether this is a plague or a common disease, Helos just entered the tent and took a look, which is actually a very dangerous behavior.

The main reason why human beings face the plague is that they are helpless.

For example, in 209, Yin Gengli's spring plague that was prevalent in Westeros caused countless deaths, especially in big cities.

It is said that the plague in Lannisport was severe, and the situation in Old Town was even worse, but King's Landing was the place where the most human lives were lost, and four out of ten residents were taken away by the plague.

And the speed of the plague is extremely fast. A healthy person may wake up in the morning and be normal, and succumb to the plague and die in the evening.

In addition to the great spring plague a hundred years ago, there have also been many epidemics in recent years. A few decades ago, there was a gray death in the old town, which took away half of the city's population and academics. three-quarters of the city's members.

At that time, the Earl of Quinton Hightower of Old Town burned all the ships in the port, closed the gates of the city, and ordered his soldiers to kill all those who tried to escape, men, women, babies, no exception.

Pantos also had this terrible gray death. It came from a Braavos merchant ship named Treasure, which docked here on its way back to the Jade Sea, and then brought the virus here.

The virus killed 2,000 people, and Silas, the wife of the current governor of Andalus, Inririo Mopatis, also died in the plague.

It is precisely because of these **** cases that people regard the plague as a tiger and must be nervous.

Regardless of whether these people are infected with the plague, they must take thunder measures.

However, the Governor of the Riverlands, Hendry Bracken, seemed to be a little dazed.

He also saw the scene in the tent just now, and then suddenly woke up when he heard the words of the eldest prince, he hesitated slightly, and then shook his head.

"No, Your Highness."

"I've never heard of such a thing."
