Chapter 293: Blood Plague
Jiang Chengwan couldn't resist Lu Chen after all, and put the original plan to return to Beijing on hold for the time being.
But she also rarely did not listen to Lu Chen's advice to persuade her to return to Beijing to take charge of the court, but insisted on staying in Xingping County, just like being angry, there is a big picture of when Lu Chen returns to Beijing, she will return to Beijing whenever she wants.
And although she agreed to Lu Chen, she also made a request, that is, no matter where he was going or what he wanted to do, he had to be with her.
Even though Lu Chen persuaded her for a long time, she was still unmoved.
In the end, Lu Chen could only give up.
Nothing was said all night.
Early the next morning, Lu Chen got up to wash, took care of it a little, and then went out and walked downstairs.
As a result, as soon as he came to the lobby of the inn, he saw Jiang Chengwan and Jiang Chengdao sitting opposite each other, as if they were discussing something.
Noticing Lu Chen coming, the two stopped talking, and then turned their heads almost at the same time to look at Lu Chen.
Jiang Chengdao said with a smile: "Why did Lu Shangshu get up so early? ”
Lu Chen didn't answer immediately, but hurriedly bowed to the two.
"Wechen has seen Your Majesty."
"I've seen His Highness the Holy King."
Jiang Chengwan responded casually, and then frowned slightly.
"Lu Qing is in poor health, why don't you rest for a while?"
The words are full of concern and blame.
Lu Chen shook his head and said softly: "Xingping County has suffered such a big change, the people's hearts are in turmoil, and Weichen, as an official of the imperial court, how can he sleep peacefully at this time?" ”
Hearing this, Jiang Chengwan not only did not have much relief on her face, but her brows wrinkled even deeper.
Under normal circumstances, if she, the supreme leader of the Great Xia Empire, encounters this kind of courtier who takes the initiative to roll in, she must appreciate it incomparably, and the more this courtier rolls, the more happy she is.
With such an excellent courtier, she can't come too much.
But the person who rolled it was Lu Chen, so I said otherwise.
However, she knew that this was Lu Chen's insistence and the criterion of being an official, and it was useless to persuade him, so she could only find a way to help him make up for the deficit in his body, so she didn't say anything, but made a plan in her heart, and when the turmoil in Xingping County was over, after returning to Beijing, she would definitely increase the dose of Yaochi Lingquan.
When Jiang Chengdao heard this, he said with admiration: "He is worthy of being a pillar of the country that His Majesty trusts, Lu Shangshu is loyal to his duties, conscientious and conscientious, and should be a model for his ministers, and this king admires him." ”
"His Highness the Holy King has praised it."
Lu Chen replied nonchalantly, and then sat next to her under Jiang Chengwan's greeting.
After chatting for a few words, he said with a straight face: "Your Highness the Holy King, how is the situation in Xingping County now?" ”
Last night, Jiang Chengwan didn't tell him about the situation in Xingping County in order to let him rest at ease, and after she came to Xingping County, she took care of Lu Chen most of the time, and she only knew a rough idea of what was going on outside, far less than Jiang Chengdao.
Jiang Chengdao and his sister glanced at each other, the latter nodded, and then he sighed and said, "It's not optimistic." ”
Four simple words, but Lu Chen's heart was groaned.
"Sure enough. Does the enemy have a backhand?"
Jiang Chengdao snorted.
"Lu Shangshu, do you know about the blood plague?"
Blood plague?
Lu Chen subconsciously rummaged in his mind.
After two breaths, his complexion changed suddenly.
When Jiang Chengdao saw him like this, he understood that he had realized what the "blood plague" meant.
"The evil spirit, when they see blood, they are stained, the whole body of the plague is festering, the medicine stone has no doctor, and finally the blood explodes and dies in panic, and one of them can spread ten, and it will not exceed a hundred in a day."
As he spoke, his tone became a little heavy: "If you don't control it in time, within two decades, there will be no smoke in a radius of thousands of miles." ”
The words fell, and a long silence ensued.
None of you here are ordinary people, and they all know very well how terrible the blood plague is.
According to the records of the sages, the blood plague is caused by the plague aura in the aura, and it is a type of spiritual calamity, just like the white plague and the flame plague.
As long as it is a spiritual disaster, it is much more terrible than ordinary natural disasters, and the threat of blood plague to the people is especially above many spiritual disasters.
Not only because the blood plague is more transmissible than the plague, but what is more terrifying is that once it is infected with the blood plague, it will become an unstable bomb, and the blood in the whole body will be like an explosive, which may expand and explode at any time, and its power can even blow up a warrior with a certain degree of cultivation to death.
Moreover, after the blood explosion, the remaining blood mist also contained a strong plague aura, turning the surrounding area into a dead domain.
"Those two evil cultivators, in the end, they will not hesitate to destroy themselves, and what they have to launch is the blood curse forbidden technique that can cause a blood epidemic."
After being silent for a long time, Jiang Chengdao said helplessly: "Although most of its curse sources were stopped by this king, there are still many people who have fallen into the county seat, and more than 2,000 people have unfortunately been directly invaded by the blood curse and infected with the blood epidemic. ”
"It's a pity that when the blood curse fell, the Xingping County Treasury was destroyed by traitors, even if it was the king, it was difficult to build a blocking circle in the first place, after His Majesty arrived, although he barely controlled the source of the curse, but there were still a lot of epidemic aura spread out."
"Now all the people may have the epidemic aura lurking in their bodies, but it has not yet occurred, in order to prevent the spread of the blood epidemic, Xiao Ge Lao has blocked the entire county, and he is only allowed to enter and not to leave."
He kept talking about the current situation in Xingping County and the measures taken by the government, and the more Lu Chen listened, the more solemn his eyes became.
The current situation is indeed as Jiang Chengdao said, and it is not optimistic.
It can even be said that it is shaped like a dangerous egg.
"So."
After Jiang Chengdao finished talking about the situation in Xingping County, he looked directly at Lu Chen, and said very sincerely: "The son of a daughter does not sit in the hall, Your Majesty and Lu Shangshu are in charge of the country, so they should take the preservation of themselves as the first thing and return to the court as soon as possible, and it is not appropriate to stay here for more to avoid accidents." ”
Jiang Chengwan also took over and said: "What the Holy King said is reasonable, Huaiyu is burdened with a heavy responsibility, how can he be in danger? Moreover, Xiao Shangshu is also a pillar of the material, and with her in charge of Xingping, she will be able to properly handle this matter. ”
Lu Chen didn't respond immediately, but carefully recalled what he had seen in the past, about the imperial court's handling of the blood epidemic.
After a moment, he lowered his eyes inexplicably.
"According to the custom of the ages, in order to prevent the spread of the blood plague and cause a catastrophe, it is necessary not only to completely destroy the bodies of the deceased, but also to make a decisive decision, destroy them together with the sick, and burn them with the true fire of samadhi."
"What's more, the inactive government will even ignore other things and directly gather and punish them, right?"
As soon as these words came out, the Jiang brothers and sisters were silent at the same time.
After a while, Jiang Chengdao nodded.
"Yes, yes."
After receiving an affirmative answer, the hesitation in Lu Chen's eyes disappeared almost instantly, and then he raised his head sharply and looked at Jiang Chengdao.
"In this case, Wechen must stay here."
Jiang Chengwan sighed and said, "Lu Qing, why are you doing this? ”
Lu Chen insisted: "Any of the people of Daxia should not be abandoned, Your Majesty please don't say more, Weichen asks for life, I hope Your Majesty allows Weichen to take charge of epidemic prevention, Weichen will do his best to protect all the people as much as possible, and return the court to a rich Xingping to repay the country's kindness." ”
Hearing this, Jiang Chengwan subconsciously looked at her brother.
However, Jiang Chengdao looked at Lu Chen directly, and the admiration in his eyes was even greater than before.
What is responsibility?
That's it!
The current Great Xia Shilin, like Lu Chen, has no complaints and no regrets, and there are too few courtiers who know that there are tigers in the mountains and prefer the tigers in the mountains.
If this were someone else, I would be eager to run as far as I could.
Anyway, it's their Jiang family's country, no matter what it becomes, it's all the Jiang family's business, what does it have to do with them?
Lu Chen can do such a thing for Jiangshan Sheji, as a member of the Jiang family, how can Jiang Chengdao not be moved when he sees such a famous minister with his own eyes?
"Good!"
He couldn't help but cheer for Lu Chen, and praised from the bottom of his heart:
"Lu Shangshu is noble, this king admires it so much, there is Lu Shangshu in Great Xia, which is really a great fortune for the country."
Jiang Chengwan saw that her brother said so, so she had to give up persuasion.
That's it, with the imperial brother here, nothing should happen, no matter what, you can also keep Lu Qing safe.
At this thought, she didn't say anything more.
After breakfast, the three of them left the inn and walked outside under the escort of more than ten elite Xuanwu guards.
They didn't go to the county office.
Now Xiao Yun is in charge of the overall situation, arranging various epidemic prevention and people's livelihood matters, especially mobilizing materials from the surrounding areas to ensure the supply of materials in Xingping County during the fight against spiritual disasters, so as not to cause famine during the blood epidemic, so she is busy every day without touching the ground, and going to her at this time will only delay her governance.
Moreover, Jiang Chengdao also participated in the whole process of epidemic prevention, and he knew many things very well, so if he had any questions, he could just ask him directly.
Originally, Lu Chen wanted to bring Chai Hongyu with him, but Jiang Chengwan said lightly, "The general is seriously injured, and it is better for Miss Chai to stay in the inn and concentrate on treating the general's injuries", so he dispelled this idea. (End of chapter)
