Chapter 141: Zhao Kang
The next day, after settling down and resting for the night, Zhu Xuanchen gathered everyone to the conference hall of the palace early in the morning, ready to discuss the next action, Zhu Xuanchen and the Wu brothers sat in the middle, they were the cultivators with the highest status here, so they naturally had to sit on the throne, Li Lingyu and the emperor of the Five Rivers Kingdom, as well as a doctor in the palace were sitting on the left and right.
After everyone arrived, Zhu Xuanchen said with a solemn face: "First of all, the first thing is that these demonic creatures outside that may attack at any time should be killed or driven away? What do you think is better? Everyone can talk about it." β
"Of course it's killing! Niu Zhenren, if you just drive away these demonic creatures, then more people and animals will be infected with demonic diseases, and this will not cause a greater disaster, anyway, these people who are infected with demonic diseases cannot be regarded as human beings, and there is no need to have mercy on them. The emperor of the Five Rivers Kingdom hurriedly said.
"I think it's too early to draw conclusions about people who have been infected with demonic diseases, but if they can be cured? Can they be restored to their original state? So what is the difference between us and taking human life as a careless? I think that since demonic disease is a disease, then these infected people are patients, not monsters, so I think it is better not to kill them until the prescription is developed. After Li Lingyu said this, all the doctors present agreed.
"Don't kill, then wait for them to come in and bite your pretty face! I don't know whether to live or die, the general guarding the city wall has already told me, if you don't get rid of some demonic creatures, the city wall will be toppled by them, and it will last for five days at most, hum! You are not afraid of death, we will die!" said Wuhe Country very angrily.
After listening to what the emperor of the Five Rivers Kingdom said, the angry Li Lingyu blushed, pointed at him but couldn't say a word, Zhu Xuanchen said with some displeasure when he saw this: "Don't quarrel! Zhao Kang, please be respectful, although Li Lingyu is a mortal, you are the emperor of the Five Rivers Kingdom, but she is also a mortal in our Chaos City, not something you can insult casually, put away your emperor's tone of no one in his eyes, the purpose of our visit is to save the ordinary people here, Eliminate the demonic disease, it's not your bodyguard, I don't care about your life or death, I value the lives of most people more, so I let you say your opinion, don't say some superfluous words, you know?!"
Zhao Kang, the emperor of the Five Rivers Kingdom, is naturally not stupid enough to get along with the cultivators, he has been taught by his father countless times since he was a child, as long as it is a mortal, you can provoke anyone, but don't mess with those immortals above mortals, their abilities are unimaginable to you, remember, you must remember.
"I remember, Niu Zhenren, it's me who is wrong, Miss Li is sorry, I have a bad attitude, please forgive me. Zhao Kang hurriedly said in a flattering tone, but at this time he thought in his heart, it seems that this little girl and this immortal may have a leg, otherwise they won't protect her much, well, I will warn my people not to kick this iron plate later.
Seeing that the supreme power holder of his country, he didn't dare to put a fart that this immortal said, and nodded his head, some ministers and imperial relatives sitting next to Zhao Kang, but none of them dared to show an unhappy expression on their faces, but more of them showed the happiness of the rest of their lives.
"Then now we need to determine whether these infected people can still be saved, if they can't be saved, they can only be killed, otherwise once they rush in, the threat is indeed very great, and then you will have no place to study the treatment with peace of mind, Doctor Li, what do you need to determine as soon as possible whether these infected people can recover?" Zhu Xuanchen turned his head to look at Li Lingyu and asked.
"Well, we don't know if we can immediately confirm whether these infected people can return to normal, but to determine this, at least a few infected people must be for us to observe and check. Li Lingyu frowned and said.
"I understand, Wu Da Wuer, please you, now you take the rope outside to catch four people who have been infected with the devil's disease and bring them back, uh, by the way, it's best to have two men and two women, so that it can be more conducive to the doctor's research. Zhu Xuanchen said slowly.
Wu Dawu Er nodded, and flew out of the hall directly, after watching the Wu brothers fly out, Zhu Xuanchen remembered something, and then asked: "Zhao Kang, how many days can the food in your palace support you to eat here?"
Zhao Kang hurriedly shouted: "The Minister of Finance is not here, come out and report to Niu Zhenren." β
At this time, a middle-aged man about thirty years old stood up and said: "Your Majesty, I am the son of the Minister of Finance, Hao Cai, my father was accidentally bitten by a sparrow infected with demonic disease while walking a few days ago, and he committed suicide before the demonic disease began. β
"Hmph, the old immortal, sooner or later, I just want to die when I need you, but fortunately, you still know that you want to commit suicide, so as not to harm others, then now is your position as the Minister of Finance? Hurry up and report to the immortals, fight for some anger, don't be like your father, I don't want to build a house for the queen, I don't let me build a house, what do you say every day, you work hard and hurt money, now you die, you deserve it." Zhao Kang said indignantly, seeing that he hated the previous finance minister very much.
Hao Cai watched Zhao Kang scolding his father sentence by sentence, but he could only endure it, he was born in a family of eunuchs, and since he was a child, he was instilled with the idea that the monarch let the minister die and the minister had to die, not to mention just scolding his father, Zhu Xuanchen, who watched this scene, hated this Zhao Kang even more in his heart, but although he had the ability to destroy this faint Zhao Kang, but he did not have this qualification, as a cultivator, he must follow the rules of the cultivator, and he could not attack or interfere with mortals at will, with this rule, there was a balance between mortals and cultivators, and no one dared to violate this ruleγ
Hao Cai took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and said to Zhu Xuanchen: "Immortals, there are now 1,324 people in the entire palace, and there are 100,000 ...... in the granary."
When Hao Cai was only halfway through speaking, Zhu Xuanchen interrupted him, waved his hand and said, "You don't have to report any accounts, you just say that if no one in the palace is starved to death, how long can the food in the granary be eaten." β
"Oh, if the imperial food eaten by the emperor can be enough for everyone for a year without wasting, and if the imperial food is not saved, he can only eat it for about eight months. Hao Cai said seriously.
After hearing this, Zhu Xuanchen looked at Zhao Kang and said: "Hear it, you will eat as much food as them in the future, if someone in the palace starves to death before you, I will throw you out and let you fend for yourself, understand?"
Zhao Kang hurriedly nodded and said: "I understand, I understand, I will call the people in the imperial dining room to do it in a while, and ask people to plant more food and vegetables in the garden, as long as I can live, Niu Zhenren, whatever you say, I will do it." β
Zhu Xuanchen looked at Zhao Kang's appearance of bullying the soft and afraid of the hard, it was really disgusting, but he was very helpless.
