Yu Muhuai boiled too many herbs every day, and the whole person smelled of herbs, but there were too many people in the city, and the amount of herbs was obviously not enough.

Preventive drugs are being tested, and the appropriate formula will soon be known.

At this time, the most urgent need is the supplies of relief from the outside world.

Just when Lou Yunsheng and Yu Muhuai were busy on their feet, there was a lot of quarrel in the court.

As Lou expected, the officials were divided into several factions, each with different opinions.

However, these opinions are not how to rescue Gushui City, but whether to give up Gushui City.

They couldn't even agree on whether to rescue Gushui City or not.

The people of Gushui City were all looking forward to it, expecting the imperial court to send more people and materials and herbs to help them.

But where did they think that the people in the court were hesitating to give up on them.

Yang Jian, the squire of the military department, advocated that additional people should be sent to the rescue immediately, and he stepped forward and said impassionedly.

"Your Majesty! The people who are now in Gushui City are all the people of Lanting Kingdom! Those are all living people! How can you give up just because of a plague? ”

Wang Chengzhi, the head of the household, said: "Just a plague? Lord Yang! Did you know that the plague was at its worst, when it almost killed a country? Is this just a plague? ”

The situation Wang Chengzhi said came from a small country in the southwestern border about 100 years ago.

That country is not a large country, adjacent to the Lanting State, and pays tribute every year, and is one of the vassal states of the Lanting State.

More than a hundred years ago, there was a sudden outbreak of an unprecedented plague in that small country.

In the early days of the plague, it did not attract the attention of the people of small countries.

Because the small country as a whole is relatively backward, it still lives in the form of tribes, and each tribe only communicates with each other for a fixed number of days every month.

So when the first tribe contracted the disease, and the whole army was wiped out for a long time, the other tribes found out.

But when other tribes found out, they didn't take it seriously.

They thought the tribe was suffering from food poisoning or something that caused the death of all of them.

After all, such a backward country has a low level of education as a whole, and its understanding of diseases is also very backward, and there is no awareness of infectious diseases.

Therefore, when it was discovered that the entire tribe was dead, no one took any protective measures, but just exposed their faces and bodies to the air and shuttled among the infected corpses.

They were also very kind to help the people of that tribe collect and bury their bodies.

Since every month, there is some exchange of goods between different tribes, so it is not only people from one tribe who come at that time.

After disposing of the corpses, these people from different tribes brought the germs back to their homes.

Then it spread to the hundreds, and in a short time, all the tribes of the whole country, large and small, were infected with the plague.

When the leader of that country sent someone to Lan Ting Kingdom for help, the entire country was already in a great panic.

At that time, the plague had entered the middle and late stages, and almost everyone in the whole country was infected.

After learning that it was the plague, Lan Tingguo immediately imprisoned the envoys sent by the small country in a separate room.

Unsurprisingly, within a few days, the messengers also began to fall ill.

Because they found it in time, they finally picked up a life.

However, the imperial doctors of Lan Tingguo spent a lot of effort, and they only held their lives, and the various body functions of those envoys were still quite damaged, leaving permanent sequelae.

As for that small country, under the discussion of the officials of the Lanting Kingdom, it was finally decided to give up.

Several towns adjacent to the small country also appeared one after another, but fortunately, the imperial court took timely measures to avoid a large-scale spread.

After more than a year, Lan Tingguo sent someone to that small country to check the situation.

By this time, the people of the small country had all died of the plague, and their bodies were decomposed.

The consequences of this plague were extremely serious and terrible, and it sounded a loud alarm for the people of Lan Ting Kingdom.

So when Qian Ran heard Yu Muhuai say that it was the plague at the beginning, his face immediately changed.

In the last life, the people who were still able to survive in Gushui City were already Lou Yunsheng's best.

When the officials who advocated the rescue heard that Wang Chengzhi had brought up the incident, their faces changed.

Yang Jian snorted lightly and said, "Lord Wang, this time is different from the past, it was all more than a hundred years ago.

After more than 100 years of development, medical skills have been significantly improved, and when facing the plague again, it will definitely not be as helpless as it was then! ”

Wang Chengzhi glanced at Yang Jian obliquely, and let out an "oh", and the tail note was raised, with some doubt and disdain.

"Lord Yang, are you so sure that you can control this plague? Do you dare to make a military order? If you fail to control it, resulting in the death of a large number of people or even spreading to other cities, can you bear all the consequences? ”

"You!" Yang Jian was so angry that his face was red, he was a big old man from the military department, where can he talk about the people in the household department.

Yang Jian took two heavy breaths, and then said angrily: "Now there is His Royal Highness Duan Wang in Gushui City, do you also want to abandon His Royal Highness Duan Wang?" ”

Wang Chengzhi's eyes glanced at Lou Yunxian, who was standing in the corner, as if inadvertently.

Their gazes briefly met in the air, then quickly withdrew.

At present, among the officials in the court who advocate the abandonment of Gushui City, several are Lou Yunxian's henchmen.

This is something that the former prince did not find out.

The third prince, Lou Yunxian, has always disguised himself with the image of a playboy and a gentleman, and he has been very successful in disguise.

So much so that Lou Yunsheng couldn't find out.

Lou Yunsheng hibernated for a long time, and finally defeated the former prince and ascended the throne himself.

Unexpectedly, there was a yellow finch in the back.

Huangque Lou Yunxian has been silent behind everyone, secretly watching the battle between the former prince and Lou Yunsheng, and after Lou Yunsheng wins, his opponent is only this unstable Duanwang.

Sure enough, it was a good calculation.

Now, King Duan's trip to Gushui City because of disaster relief, and being trapped in Gushui City because of the plague, is undoubtedly the best time to attack King Duan.

If King Duan insisted on staying in Gushui City and wanted to tide over the difficulties with the people, then he would simply propose to abandon Gushui City.

Even if there is a small amount of relief materials to be transported to Gushui City, Lou Yunxian can find a way to intercept them all halfway, making Gushui City a real lonely city.

In the end, Duanwang was lucky to come out alive in time, and he must have shed his skin.

Of course, it's best if you die inside.
