Chapter 299: The Plague

"The plague?"

The Xu family was outside the palace gate early, and when Lu Chaochao woke up, he saw that the people in the palace were panicked.

Yushu couldn't hide the sadness in his eyes: "There is a city at the border, called the Deserted City. ”

"The desert in the desert city is full of sky, and there is no grass, which is also the reason why Dongling often robs Beizhao."

"Beizhao's felony is sent to the deserted city."

"All these years have relied on General Rong to guard."

"Now there is another plague, which is really worse. I just hope that the second son can return safely. "Yushu's heart is heavy, the deserted city is poor, and medical care is not worth mentioning. This plague is extremely ferocious, how can this be good?

"Girl, do you remember the evil that came out of the Midyear Festival? The one who is thinking about the return of the soul, he is also in the desert. ”

Lu Chaochao's eyelids were slightly fluttering.

It wasn't until noon that Lu Yanshu returned home with a silent face.

Xu's body was weak, and the two maids could barely walk.

"Big brother, how about the courtiers' discussions?" Lu Yuanxiao heard the news in the academy, skipped class and went home, and asked in a hurry at this moment.

"Your Majesty sent a team of imperial doctors to set off immediately to assist Zhengyue in overcoming the plague."

"What if the plague can't be controlled?" Lu Yuanxiao asked again.

Lu Yanshu's tone was suddenly gloomy, and he was a little angry.

"The plague is not trivial, and if it flows out of the deserted city, it will be a catastrophe for the people of the world. If you can't overcome the plague......" Lu Yanshu's throat was dry, and he spit out word by word.

There was a faint stain of blood on his forehead.

It can be seen that he has been kneeling on the Jinluan Hall for a long time.

Xu's face was as white as paper, and his lips trembled: "If you can't overcome the plague, you will slaughter the city." ”

Massacre ......

Lu Chaochao raised his eyes sharply.

"I'm going to find the emperor's father, there are 100,000 people in the deserted city, and my second brother, how can I slaughter the city!!" Lu Chao was so angry that he turned around and was about to leave.

Lu Yanshu stopped her.

"This matter is a joint discussion between the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, even Your Majesty, it cannot be changed!"

There is a big deal of right and wrong, and His Majesty cannot confront all the courtiers.

Lu Yanshu clenched his fists, his eyes red.

"But...... But......" Lu Chaochao said, his voice began to choke.

"However, my second brother hasn't come out yet. He and Sister Wen Ning have already made a family decision, and Sister Wen Ning is still waiting for him. My second brother is still inside and hasn't come out......" Lu Chaochao cried with red eyes.

"General Rong is here." The little maid reported outside the door.

From the moment Rong Che entered the door, his eyes were only focused on Xu.

"Yun Niang, don't worry, I will go to the deserted city in person. With me here, don't be afraid. ”

"It's just...... Your marriage and my marriage are going to be postponed for the time being. Rong Che had some regrets in his heart, he was thinking about marrying Yun Niang, but now he had to leave Beijing.

"I've been in the deserted city for more than ten years, and I'm most familiar with the deserted city, don't worry." When Rong Che saw her speak, he knew what she was going to say.

Xu's tears rained down.

Lu Yanshu led Chao Chao out and left the space for them.

handed over the court to the maid and hurried out.

He has to deal with that group of old ministers, and he must delay some more time.

Slaughtering the city, impossible!

Lu Chaochao saw that the house was busy, and his mother had no time to take care of her, so the little guy was extremely well-behaved and did not add to the chaos at all.

Wait for Xu to react.

Lu Chaochao had already secretly climbed into the carriage bound for the deserted city.

Sitting in the carriage and staring at Wen Ning.

"Why are you here?" Rong Che set off in the middle of the night, and when he found out, he had already walked out of a hundred miles.

"I have a marriage contract with Masahiro, I'm going to see him!" Wen Ning's face was red, but his eyes were extremely determined.

She grew up following the rules and was a well-known dignified noblewoman.

But this time, she fled the capital for Lu Zhengyue.

Lu Chaochao was not surprised at all.

Sister Wen Ning looked thin and gentle, but in her previous life, she stood up and shouted for the Xu family when the Xu family was targeted.

"I'm not at ease, I'm going to see my second brother." Lu Chaochao pursed his lips.

"If you send me home, I'll sneak away next time." Lu Chaochao puffed out his cheeks and said angrily.

Rong Che had nothing to do with her.

"Hurry up and send a letter to Yun Niang and Your Majesty, I'm afraid that Jingzhong will be scared by you." Rong Che glared at her, Lu Chaochao was not afraid, but hooked his neck and called Dad.

Rong Che, who shouted directly, smiled, his face was red.

Rong Che didn't want to take her, but her name was Daye.

How could he refuse!!

"It's just that we're in a hurry, I'm afraid it's bumpy and hard. Can you live with it? "Rong Che took away most of the Imperial Medical Department this time, a total of six carriages, day and night, and it also took four days.

"I can!" Lu Chaochao raised his small fist.

A group of old doctors, with bumpy faces and colorless faces, all the bones in their bodies were about to fall apart.

On the contrary, it was Lu Chaochao, who had an excellent complexion.

"Sister Wen, what are you holding in your arms?" Lu Chaochao asked curiously when he saw that she was always holding a package in her hand.

Wen Ning's expression was gentle: "A gift for Zhengyue." ”

"You're almost in a deserted city, aren't you?" The surrounding green vegetation has decreased and the air has become dry.

"Yes, we will be able to reach the deserted city tomorrow morning." Rong Che rode on a horse, did not shave for a few days, and gave birth to another layer of cyan stubble.

He looked into the distance, and his face was not very good.

Above the deserted city, a thick layer of black fog lingered.

"There's a bad smell in the air......" Lu Chaochao pinched his nose in disgust.

"It's the city that burns the corpses."

"There were so many dead in the city that they burned day and night, and they could not finish burning." Rong Che's heart was heavy.

Everyone was a little depressed.

The doctors had already dismounted and began to study their surroundings.

It's just that the more you study, the more ugly your complexion becomes.

"There is no problem with the water source." The Imperial Physician quickly came to a conclusion.

"Let's go into town tomorrow."

Rong Che had already prepared a thick veil, and everyone had a good rest this night, ready for a tough battle.

At night, the temple was broken.

"Is it cold so early in the deserted city? It was only August and September, and it was bitterly cold. The doctor's teeth trembled, and he ordered a thick quilt to be taken out of the carriage.

Rong Che shook his head solemnly: "No, the deserted city has always been dry and hot. Traditionally, it was the hottest time. ”

But now, the biting cold is drilling straight into the bones.

"Princess Zhaoyang, take you to such a dangerous place, when I go home, can I still marry Yun Niang?"

"Otherwise, I'll let my cronies send you back to the capital." Rong Che underestimated the severity of the deserted city.

At this moment, I began to be afraid.

Lu Chaochao raised his eyes to look at the night sky, and the cold air in all directions was heading towards the deserted city, and he couldn't help frowning.

If she doesn't go, I'm afraid the deserted city will have no chance of survival.

"Chaochao will take care of himself, General Rong will do his own thing." The little guy unconsciously brought the style of his ancestors.

actually made Rong Che unable to refute.

Wen Ning slept with a wrap and a coat.

As soon as the day dawned, everyone set out in full gear.

After only half an hour, everyone saw the cruelty of the plague. Far more tragic and unacceptable than imagined.

It was five miles from the city gate.

Outside the city gates, countless festering corpses with hideous faces lay in them.

Even through the three face towels, you can still smell the odor in the air.

Standing in a lonely city in the desert, the gate is closed, and on the gate stands soldiers with bows.

They fought to defend their homeland and country, but now, they want to aim their blades at the Beizhao people.
