Chapter 130: The Plague Strikes
Chapter 130: The Plague Strikes
Yang Mubai didn't pay much attention to the eldest prince, An An was captured, and he couldn't escape the relationship. She has no evidence, and it doesn't mean that she just took it as it happened. She said lightly: "Excuse me!" ”
General Zuo Shang knew that Yang Mubai didn't like either of them, so he said, "Queen Mother, go back to the palace first!" Please leave the matter to me. ”
Yang Mubai asked, "General Zuo, what do you want to do?" ”
The general on the left said: "This is a state affair, and the harem cannot participate, please forgive the queen." ”
Yang Mubai said: "Since you say that I am the queen, I am the mother of the imperial capital, and the people of the imperial capital are in trouble, how can I stand idly by?" ”
The eldest prince said: "Queen Mother, the plague is extremely dangerous, and if you are infected, it will be troublesome. You are the mother of a nation, how can you risk it for a few hundred people? ”
Yang Mubai said: "The eldest prince, as a high-ranking prince, if you don't think about the safety of the people, are you worthy of the royal blood flowing on your body?" ”
The eldest prince's face was hot, he knew that Yang Mubai was not afraid of death, and he dared to go to Rongcheng alone before. He didn't believe that this woman was so lucky to lie down and survive disaster after disaster.
He also said, "Queen Mother, my sons have never seen the plague, and I have fear in my heart, please forgive me, I have no experience in this area. I am afraid that if I let them into the city, I will bring disaster to other innocent people. ”
Yang Mubai was really angry at his cold-bloodedness, and she said sharply: "Because you can't diagnose and treat the plague, you have to kill all the people infected with the plague, who taught you?" ”
In the army, he was taught by General Zuo, who scolded Huai, and General Zuo said: "Queen Mother, the eldest prince is guided by me in the army." But I didn't teach him that. ”
Yang Mubai asked, "Great Prince, are these methods you wanted?" ”
The eldest prince hurriedly knelt down and said: "The queen mother is angry, and the sons are speechless for a while, so please forgive the queen mother." ”
Yang Mubai said: "You get up! If you don't know how to diagnose and treat, don't make up your mind, you have to let someone else deal with it. Don't add to it. ”
The eldest prince got up and stood beside him resignedly.
General Zuo said: "Empress Niang, Ye Taifu has the experience and ability to diagnose and treat the plague, please let him stay." Let's go back to the palace first! ”
Yang Mubai said: "General Zuo doesn't need to say much, I will stay and help diagnose and treat the plague together." Please bring me to the gates, and I will give some comfort to the people. ”
The general on the left said: "The queen mother, please forgive me, the minister must not leave you behind." If you make a mistake, the minister will not be able to explain it to the emperor. ”
Yang Mubai said: "The emperor will understand, time is pressing, please don't delay time." ”
General Zuo insisted: "Queen Mother, let it be handled by the ministers!" Your safety is more important. ”
Taking advantage of their inattention, Yang Mubai took out a sword from the guard next to her and put it on her neck, she said calmly: "General Zuo, no matter what grievances we had before, it is important to save people now." If you insist on going your own way, I will die here, and I will see how you explain to the emperor. ”
General Zuo and the eldest prince were shocked by her, this woman is really not afraid of death.
Such an identity is actually offended by hundreds of people, and they really care about the people, and they, big men, may not be able to do it.
General Zuo Shang thought of An An, the mother of the country, and the prince of Yan. They are worried about the country and the people, and love the people like sons, it seems that the imperial capital really has a blessed star shining.
General Zuo said respectfully: "Queen Mother, please come with me." ”
Imperial Physician Ye brought a few sets of thick clothes, and he asked Yang Mubai and General Zuo Shang to put them on.
Yang Mubai said: "General Zuo, prepare such clothes, and all the soldiers guarding the city will change into them." In addition, the plague settlement workshop found a secluded place and temporarily placed them in Qiqi before they were prepared. After the resettlement workshop is set up, it will be redistributed, and in order not to infect other people, the path will be cleared, and the people in the city will not be allowed to move. ”
The general on the left said: "Queen Mother, Weichen knows, and will arrange it immediately." ”
Then he said to the lieutenant general beside him: "Did you hear the words of the queen mother clearly?" ”
The adjutant general said: "The last general has received the order, and he will do it immediately." When the settlement site and roadblocks are cleared, I will report to you immediately. ”
At this time, the eldest prince also put on protective clothing and followed them to the city gate.
Yang Mubai said: "General Zuo, this is your territory, you can explain it to them!" ”
The general on the left said: "The queen mother is here, and they are more convinced by your words." ”
Yang Mubai said: "Then I'm rude." The left general nodded and said no more.
Yang Mubai took out his token and held it in his hand, and said loudly: "People of the imperial capital, I am the current queen. You have been treated inhumanely in Gaocan, and we know that. Now you are unfortunately infected with the plague, but rest assured, we will not give up on you. Ten years ago, I participated in the diagnosis and treatment of the plague in Rongcheng, and this Ye Taifu led the prevention and treatment of the plague at that time. We are here today to save you. But the plague is contagious, and there are many people in the city, and they may be your relatives and friends. In order not to infect them, General Zuo will find you a temporary medical workshop later, and you will wait for treatment inside, okay? ”
Those desperate people finally saw hope, they also heard about the deeds of the current queen mother, and felt that the savior had come, and they knelt down and echoed: "Thank you for the queen mother's compassion." ”
"We must obey the arrangement of the queen mother and the general left."
"As long as we live, we will do it."
"Gao Canguo is the devil, they have been torturing us, so that we are infected with the plague and drive us back."
Yang Mubai said: "Gao Canguo dares to humiliate you like this, I will definitely show the saints and make them ......."
General Zuo preemptively said: "I am the protector general, what happened to you, I will present it to the saint, and wait for the saint's ruling." The emperor will get back all the sufferings you have suffered. Now, the most important thing is to heal your illness, reunite with your family, and leave everything else to us. ”
After speaking, he said to Yang Mubai: "Queen Mother, the little prince is still in their hands, don't talk too much and cause them to rebound." ”
Yang Mubai was angry with the miserable situation of those people, she really wanted Pei Shengyuan to destroy Gao Canguo, so how can she do it. Hearing the words of General Zuo, she came back to her senses.
The people outside the city slowly quieted down, waiting to be treated.
Yang Mubai also walked down the city gate, and they explained the situation to the people in the city, telling them to avoid contact with them, even if they were relatives, they could only take them home when they were sick.
Those people also knew the severity of the plague, and they all said that they would obey the arrangement of General Zuo.
The soldiers quickly set up tents in a valley and set up several places according to Yetefu's instructions to house the victims in batches.
General Zuo Shang found all the Taifu in the city, and arranged for Ye Taifu to treat the victims.
Some military doctors were also sent to help.
Due to the shortage of medicine to treat the plague in Biansai, the imperial court has not received the news yet, and when Pei Shengyuan pulls out the medicine and people over, it will be too late. General Zuo had no choice but to send people to the nearby city-states to buy medicine.
Yang Mubai thought of inspecting the situation at the plague point, and was strictly forbidden by General Zuo and said: "Queen Mother, just stay in the palace, and I will report the situation inside to you immediately." The plague is extremely dangerous, please take care of your health. Please also believe that I will definitely arrange for them to be treated according to Ye Taifu's instructions. ”
Yang Mubai said: "I am also in the plague area in Rongcheng, it's okay, I have experience in this area, I won't be infected with the plague myself." ”
The general on the left said: "Queen Mother, you can't help if you go in." You tell me what needs to be done, what needs to be done, what to do, and I'll arrange it. ”
Yang Mubai heard this, so he had no choice but to give up. explained clearly what she needed to do to help diagnose and treat the plague in Rongcheng and what she needed special attention.
The general on the left arranged according to what she had written. also promised to report to her every day in the future, as well as diagnosis and treatment records.
Yang Mubai returned to the palace with confidence.
Gao Can Guojun thought about it for a long time, and he didn't know what to do to calm the anger of the imperial capital, if he couldn't calm their anger, should he resist stubbornly like before. An An is still in their hands, and they don't dare to go too far.
Those ministers suggested that the situation should be reported to Pei Shengyuan as it was, and then these generals should be handed over to them, so that they should be able to forgive them for their mistakes.
Gao Can said: "If these generals are handed over, we will no longer have the ability to resist. In the future, I can only let the imperial capital step on the flat and pinch the round. ”
The prime minister said: "Your Majesty, if you can't calm their anger, I'm afraid the emperor won't give up." ”
Lord Gao Can said: "Now we should think about whether there is any other way. ”
The prime minister replied: "If you don't serve as a minister, you will resist, and the price of resistance will be the destruction of the country at worst." The worst outcome of being a vassal is that your strength is weakened. ”
The lord of Gao Can said: "This matter will be carefully thought about by Lonely." ”
An An heard about this and discussed it with He Shengnan.
An An said: "Aunt He, how do you think this matter should be handled?" ”
He Shengnan said: "I'm afraid that they will be unfavorable to you, let's find a way to escape!" ”
An An said: "It's too late, they must be watching us more closely, and now we can only pull out the chaos." Gao Can's behavior, we have to do the right thing for heaven. ”
When Princess Gao Ling came back from the palace, she said, "Little prince, my father has not yet decided how to deal with this matter. However, the generals involved have been locked up in prison. ”
An An asked, "Princess, what do you think about this matter?" ”
Princess Gao Ling said: "This matter is indeed caused by several generals, and my father is most likely to hand them over to the imperial capital and ask for forgiveness." ”
An An shook his head and said: "I'm afraid it's not that simple, these are the most courageous generals in Gao Can, how can your father be willing to hand them over." ”
Princess Gao Ling said, "If you don't hand them over, I'm afraid this matter won't be good." ”
An An sighed and said, "Maybe they will be enemies of the imperial capital again, and I will be sacrificed to the sky then." ”
Princess Gao Ling asked, "Are you afraid?" ”
An An shook his head and said, "I'm not afraid, if I die, your Gao Can Kingdom will be destroyed." That way, you won't die too unjustly. ”
Princess Gao Ling said with a smile: "I didn't expect you to be afraid of death at a young age. ”
An An said: "Don't you have to die if you're afraid of death?" ”
Princess Gao Ling said, "Little prince, don't worry! My father will not watch Gao Can be destroyed. ”
An An said: "Not necessarily. ”
Two days later, An An was summoned to the former court to discuss the issue of these generals. He Shengnan was dressed in disguise and turned into An An, a male entourage, and entered the palace with An An.
The lord of Gao Can said: "The horse is the prince of the imperial capital, I don't know what to say about this matter. ”
An An said: "My lord, this matter is about the covenant between the two countries, and this is obviously a deliberate attempt by several generals to break the covenant. ”
The lord of Gao Can said: "They are loyal to Gao Can, and they have also made a lot of contributions. It is also a rare talent, I don't know if the horse can show your father and the emperor and give them a light sentence. ”
An An said: "The Son of Heaven broke the law and committed the same crime as the common people. Their merits do not exempt them from their crimes. And the sins they have committed are too great to be forgiven. ”
The lord of Gao Can said: "Is there no room for maneuver at all? ”
An An shook his head and said: "In the imperial capital, even the crown prince who abuses and kills the people like this cannot be exempted from his crimes. Could it be that Gao Cancai is so withered, and a few bandits can't be held accountable. ”
The leading general could not bear to hear him belittle them in this way, and said: "Horse, I know that I am guilty of great sins, but please do not insult us so much. We have been on the battlefield for more than ten years, and every achievement is our own hard work. We can die, but please give us the least respect for our generals. ”
An An said: "This general, since he wants to be a man who stands up to the sky, why do you want to torture and kill the defenseless people in my imperial capital. Is this what a military general can do? What qualifications do you have to respect? ”
Another general said: "Don Ma, this matter has nothing to do with our general, it is manipulated behind General Ji's back. ”
An An asked, "Then do your generals know about this matter?" ”
The leading general said: "At first, I didn't agree, they just said that they would be tortured briefly and then put back in the imperial capital......
An An said: "That's to know. ”
The lord of Gao Can said: "I have announced the matter to you, and the general does not support this matter. ”
An An said: "A general who does not correct the mistakes of his subordinates and connives and shields, can he still be called a general?" ”
The lord of Gao Can said: "It's also that they are confused for a while. ”
An An said: "I heard that your Gaocan soldiers are all brave and good at fighting, presumably these generals are even braver. If you can defeat my attendants, I will ask my father to forgive you from your crimes, and whether you can survive depends on your ability. What do you guys think? ”
The generals looked at He Shengnan and wondered if it was a compromise that the horses wanted to give them their lives. They looked at each other, unable to make up their minds for a moment.
The lord of Gao Can said: "Since the concubine is gracious, you are not quick to thank you." ”
The generals were just about to thank him, but An An said, "When you can live, thank you again!" ”
The lord of Gao Can said: "Do you need to explain this matter to your father?" ”
An An said: "Yes, then the ring is at the junction of the two countries." Let the people of the two countries also be witnesses. By the way, my attendant's name is He Zheng, and I will write my name when the time comes. ”
The lord of Gao Can also wanted to show their strength and strongly agreed.
When Pei Shengyuan received the news, before he had time to object, the ring was already on the table. Neither can he, the people of both countries already know about it, and now they can only hope that An An can defeat them, although the hope is extremely slim.
Yang Mubai was also extremely surprised when he heard the news, although An An was young, he was not a hot-headed person, how could he agree to such a ridiculous competition.
Since he saw his strength, General Zuo knew that he was sure of victory, and openly avenged these people.
He mobilized tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, ambushed around the ring, formed an encirclement, and rescued An An after the competition.
An An had already discussed with He Shengnan, and he wanted He Shengnan to kill these generals to avenge these innocent people.
He Shengnan has never killed anyone, but he also hates such people, and in the palace she assessed the strength of both sides, and her force can defeat them.
Tear off the left side of the shirt and report to An An. Only then did there be a requirement to compete for life.
On the day of the competition, people from both sides came to watch the battle.
Yang Mubai finally saw An An, and her tears flowed down. An An looked at her and smiled, as if to say, "Eniang, don't cry." ”
Qiu Yue comforted: "Miss, don't worry! The little prince will be fine. ”
The people of the imperial capital were filled with righteous indignation, and they all cheered He Shengnan and asked her to kill these demons.
He Shengnan didn't want to reveal his identity yet, he was dressed in men's clothes and wearing a mask, and outsiders could hardly see her appearance. Even Yang Mubai couldn't see it on the city tower.
The first round was the general, although he felt guilty and felt that it was dishonorable to live by winning a squire, but he didn't want to die even more, so he had to fight hard.
He Shengnan said in a changed voice: "It is rumored that Gao Can's soldiers are all brave, but I can't see that they are famous. How can such rats who brutalize the people be brave, and I will avenge the innocent people of the imperial capital later. ”
The leading general said, "Let's wait until you defeat us!" ”
He Shengnan asked, "Do you still have last words?" ”
The leading general said: "Don't be ashamed. ”
He Shengnan said: "If you don't leave a last word, then suffer death!" ”
After saying that, the two sides began to fight fiercely.
The leading general wanted to fight quickly, and he attacked He Shengnan extremely quickly and ruthlessly in a few moves. She nimbly dodged them.
He was taken aback, how could this woman be so powerful in martial arts. It seems that he is really no match for her.
He used his housekeeping skills to attack dozens of moves in a row, but He Shengnan still dodged the tactics just now, dodging all his attacks.
The leading general met an opponent, and he had no way to retreat, so he had to attack He Shengnan more fiercely.
He Shengnan also began to fight back, she recruited workers faster and more aggressively, and the leading general only cared about dodging and could not fight back.
After a few hundred moves like this, although the leading general was strong, He Shengnan was superior, and he gradually fell into disadvantage.
He Shengnan's physical strength is also depleting, she can't fight like this anymore, there are three generals waiting for her behind.
During the fight, He Shengnan moved to his left side and kicked him in the waist, and the person was kicked down, and He Shengnan took the opportunity to stab him in the chest with a sword. The leading general also raised his sword and slashed at her left arm. Blood poured out. Fortunately, it didn't hurt the muscles and bones, and if you bandage it, you can deal with the next one.
Seeing the leading general being killed, the other three generals trembled, the martial arts of the three of them were far inferior to the leading general, and it seemed that they were all going to die here.
The lord of Gao Can and their people were also very surprised, they didn't expect that in less than an hour, their leading general would be defeated and killed by the maid of the little prince of the imperial capital, how terrifying were the generals of the imperial capital?
The people of the imperial capital cheered excitedly and celebrated. They were repeatedly hurt by Gao Canguo, and this time, the little prince finally avenged them.
Yang Mubai looked at it for a while, and said to Qiu Yue: "Qiu Yue, look at that person who competes in martial arts, why is he so much like He Shengnan?" ”
Qiu Yue said: "Her face is not clear, but her body shape is quite similar." But he is a man, is he Shengnan's lost brother? ”
Yang Mubai said: "You will guess." Didn't she take care of An An closely? Why isn't she by An An's side? ”
Qiu Yue said: "She is a weak woman, she doesn't want to see this bloody scene!" ”
Yang Mubai no longer doubted anything, and continued to pray in his heart, hoping that the people in the ring could kill all the generals of Gao Canguo.
When General Zuo heard their conversation, he thought that An An had applied to him to ask He Shengnan to go on the expedition with him, so he guessed that person must be He Shengnan.
Looking at this situation, Yang Mubai didn't know that He Shengnan knew martial arts, so was she obedient to the orders of the little prince?
But that's not true! He Shengnan was saved by Yang Mubai, she should be more loyal to her! Why hide your strength?
Yang Mubai is so worried about the little prince, so she doesn't know his physical skills, right?
This is terrible, Yang Mubai is simply Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon by her side, and she has no idea. What a fantasy this is!
He thought about it, maybe they were hiding it from Pei Shengyuan, and by the way, they also hid it from Yang Mubai.
He Shengnan bandaged the work, and An An asked, "Are you okay?" ”
He Shengnan said with a smile: "This injury is not in the way, have you seen those generals?" Their martial arts skills are definitely not as good as the leading generals, and it is much easier for me to kill them than the one just now. ”
An An said: "That's good, if you can't hold it, tell me, don't compete today." ”
He Shengnan said: "Little prince, don't worry! These brutes, I will not let them live through tomorrow. ”
The competition started again, their martial arts were indeed far inferior to the leading general, He Shengnan defeated and killed them one by one within two hours, and she was not injured. It's just that the physical exertion is severe.
An An asked her to take her down to rest, and then said in the ring: "The people of the imperial capital, I am the little prince of the imperial capital, these devils who tortured and killed the people of the imperial capital, I have made them all killed. This is what they deserve.
Please rest assured that with General Zuo here, we will definitely protect you. If anyone dares to bully you again in the future, just report it, and the soldiers of the imperial capital will definitely seek justice for you. Don't let anyone bully you for nothing. ”
The people of the imperial capital applauded one after another, they have been harassed by them for so many years, and they often have trouble sleeping and eating, but now they are better. With the little prince and the general on the left, they don't have to be afraid anymore.
