Lu Tingchen is the uncle of the dynasty, and almost everyone knows it.

In addition, in several battles between Dashang and Danju last year, Lu Tingchen was brave and good at fighting, shocked the enemy country, was commended by the emperor, and was promoted to general, and his name has long been famous all over the world.

At this time, many people were already gathered under the city gates waiting to enter the city.

Hearing the shouts of the comers, they all looked over in surprise.

I saw that the man was dusty, his body was covered with wind and sand, his lips were dry and cracked, and the whole person was extremely embarrassed, only a pair of eyes remained, which were unusually bright.

For a while, everyone whispered, thousands of miles of urgency, usually there is a war report, it will be used, is it possible that the border war has started again?

The soldiers at the city gate had already heard the shouts of the comers, leaned over to look at the tokens in the hands of the comers, and then hurried to report to the commander who was defending the city.

After a while, the chief general hurried over, and also recognized the token in the person's hand, and after confirming that it was Lu Tingchen's warrant, he immediately ordered the city gate to be opened.

Almost a crack was opened in the city gate, and the guard pulled the reins and galloped into the city gate.

As soon as the people entered, the soldiers hurriedly closed the city gate again.

Because it's not yet time to open the gates.

The guards rode their horses and went directly in the direction of the palace.

The Royal Palace, the House of Parliament.

There was nothing to do today, Long Ying was just about to give the order to disperse, when suddenly there was a rush of singing outside, "Report-"

Everyone was taken aback, and when they looked back, they saw a soldier covered in dirt, helped in by several guards, and it was the first person to walk in.

He walked very quickly, and his face was extremely solemn.

"Your Majesty, something happened at the border pass."

As soon as these words came out, the whole hall was in an uproar.

Long Ying's gaze fell on the limp soldier and said in a deep voice, "What happened?" ”

That soldier is one of Lu Tingchen's personal guards, named Xu Chen, he rushed back from the border all the way non-stop, never stopped, just rushed into the palace, the whole person fell from the horse, just happened to take the people to inspect the passing, after asking the reason, directly brought people over.

Xu Chen took a breath and lasted until now, when he heard the emperor ask, he said in a hoarse voice: "The soldiers at the border pass, for some reason, overnight, more than half of them were infected with an unknown serious illness, and the military doctor couldn't find out the cause, but the disease was extremely contagious, and the military doctor deduced that it was likely to be a plague. ”

As soon as the word plague came out, the vassals in the hall were shocked.

How can there be a plague? And it is still raging at the border gates.

Once the soldiers are infected with the plague, where can they still fight? If the enemy attacks at this time......

Everyone couldn't help but panic.

Plague is worse than war.

Lu Hetian tightened his eyebrows, and was about to say something, but Long Ying spoke first, "How are you young generals now?" ”

"When he came back, the major general was safe and sound, and all the checkpoints leading to the border pass had been temporarily blocked, and the news about the army was also completely blocked, so the outside does not know the situation of the plague at the border pass."

After listening to Xu Chen's words, Lu Hetian's heart finally let go.

The dragon martingale also breathed a sigh of relief.

In the silence of the hall, Xu Chen suddenly spoke again: "The young general has a reluctant request, and he also asked the emperor to send the queen and the Duchess of Zhenguo to the border pass to help control the plague. ”

As soon as these words came out, Long Ying's brows furrowed imperceptibly.

Ling Lihua just gave up, but Lu Tingchen knew that he was slightly pregnant, how could he dare to make such a request?

But Lu Tingchen is not a brainless person, and he proposed to go slightly, explaining that the situation at the border is really not optimistic.

Lu Hetian's complexion was also extremely bad.
