The plague spread in Changzhou.
The entire Longyan Dynasty was shocked.
royal palace.
Xie Tianyao got the news immediately, and Long Yan was furious: "What are you talking about? The city gate was blown open?"
The civil and military officials of the entire dynasty were as silent as cicadas.
This is a plague!
This is not an ordinary thing. In this era, plague is synonymous with death! Wherever the plague went, almost no grass grew!
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty... I still don't know who did it!"
"At the ugly moment of the day, the west gate of Changzhou was bombed, and 30,000 people took advantage of the chaos to escape..."
Everyone's heart sank.
Thirty thousand people?
Once they leave the city, who knows which direction they will go!
"Your Majesty, most people are heading towards Dunhuang..."
The old emperor's eyes were cold and he gritted his teeth: "Let me investigate this bunch of losers and get to the bottom of it! Get these 30,000 people back to me immediately!"
"Order the Liangzhou Army to go to Dunhuang to intercept the plague refugees. Anyone who disobeys the order will be killed without mercy!"
"yes!"
A group of people dispersed in a hurry.
But everyone knows that how can it be so easy to find these 30,000 people? In this era, there is no surveillance. Once a person leaves Changzhou City, it is not unusual for him to not show up for a year and a half.
People are panicked.
The Lantern Festival is coming soon, and if something like this happens, who can withstand it?
Just as the prince was about to leave, who would have thought that the third prince Xie Ling next to him sneered and said: "On this occasion when the whole world is celebrating, such a big thing happened in Liangzhou. Could it be that someone did it deliberately?"
Xie Fang's expression changed when he heard this, and he yelled angrily: "Xie Ling, what do you mean? Do you think it was my fault?"
Xie Ling laughed and said: "Oh, brother, what's wrong with you? I just guessed that the Yinzhou Army was about to pass through Dunhuang, but a plague occurred and refugees flocked to Dunhuang..."
"Tsk tsk tsk...is it really such a coincidence?"
As soon as these words came out, the expressions of many civil and military officials changed.
yes.
What a coincidence? And this matter is terrifying to think about! If these refugees carrying the plague flow into Dunhuang, it will definitely be a huge blow to the Yinzhou Army led by Liu Zheng at this time! As a result, isn't the biggest beneficiary Chen Ping?
And this happened again in Liangzhou...
Everyone took a deep breath.
Could it be that it was really Chen Ping?
Could it be that it was really the prince’s instruction?
Prince Xie Fang's expression changed instantly.
Isn't this Chen Ping too bold? But regardless of this, there is no evidence on this matter, who dares to say anything? When he thought about it, he immediately sneered and said: "Everyone, this is a natural disaster, not a man-made disaster. If you dare to talk nonsense again, be careful of what I will punish you for!"
Everyone left with their own evil intentions.
Xie Fang got into the carriage and laughed heartily: "What a Chen Ping, what a plague!"
"Let's see how Liu Zheng dies this time!"
…
"What did you say? Plague?"
at this time.
Zheng Yueru from Silver Beach City also looked pale.
This matter has spread throughout the Longyan Dynasty in an instant. All eyes are gathered in one place!
Dunhuang!
On one side, there are 90,000 Yinzhou troops, who are about to pass through Dunhuang, and on the other side, there are 30,000 refugees carrying the plague, who are about to arrive at Dunhuang.
What will Liu Zheng do?
Everyone knows...
This is very likely to be Chen Ping's conspiracy!
Aren’t you, Liu Zheng, planning to take over Dunhuang with the momentum of victory? OK, I’ll give you a plague! Let’s see if you come yet! You have to take a detour and never touch my Dunhuang again!
But you have to come...
Then there is a plague waiting for you!
Everyone.
They all have the mentality of watching a show. Let's see what will happen to Liu Zhizhou.
All the civil and military officials of the imperial court were watching.
The vassal kings from all over the country are also watching.
King Wei is watching, King Shu is watching, and King Yong is watching.
Everyone is watching.
Liangzhou Prefecture.
Chen Ping looked coldly at Chen Ruoshi who was furious in front of him.
"Father...were you responsible for the plague in Changzhou?"
In two years, Chen Ruoshi became more and more beautiful. Now she already had the scent of a woman, without the youthfulness before. Her beautiful eyes were staring at her father, feeling extremely disappointed.
Chen Ping remained silent.
Chen Ruoshi angrily scolded: "Father, that's 400,000 people. There are 400,000 people in Dunhuang! Just because you want to compete with Liu's father and son, do you ignore the lives of the people! Father, how come my daughter doesn't know when you will He has become so callous and heartless that he has lost his conscience!”
"presumptuous!"
Chen Ping finally couldn't bear it anymore and shouted coldly: "My daughter, my family, what do you know?"
"What do you know about the general trend of the world?"
"What do you know about the strife in the imperial court!"
"What do you know about the fight for the right to be the heir?"
"What do you know about Jiangshan Sheji! Ruoshi, the Liu family and his son are now so powerful that they have even threatened the prince. Do you think that we, Liangzhou Mansion, have no responsibility?"
He stood up and spit: "Liangzhou at this time is in a state of fire and water! If my father wants to live, they must die! If they want to live, my father must die!"
"Tell dad, who do you want to die? Huh? Who do you want to die!"
Chen Ping roared out.
Chen Ruoshi's delicate body trembled, tears fell like rain, and she was also confused.
Questions and contradictions filled her at this moment.
She pursed her lips tightly, took a deep breath, and closed her eyes slightly: "Father, no matter what, the people are innocent. How could the fight between you have caused such a great evil in the world!"
Chen Ping smiled sadly: "Ruoshi, this matter..."
Chen Ruoshi smiled faintly, bowed and left.
Chen Ping was sitting alone in the study.
Suddenly, his expression changed drastically: "Quick, get me the lady!"
However, it was already too late.
The housekeeper will report immediately.
Chen Ruoshi was already riding a horse, carrying a soft medicine box, and heading towards Dunhuang.
She wanted to reduce Chen Ping's karma.
…
Like facing a powerful enemy.
Dunhuang at this time.
Like facing a powerful enemy.
As the governor of Dunhuang, Chang Shuwen has also been suffering these days.
When he learned that the plague had begun to spread, 30,000 refugees carrying the virus had already arrived across the river from Dunhuang. Changzhou is only two days away from Dunhuang.
Thirty thousand people!
Chang Shuwen looked desperate.
After getting the news, he immediately issued an order not to allow these people to get even half a step closer to Dunhuang! For this reason, he sent 50,000 Dunhuang soldiers to guard the city river to the death.
then.
He was on the watchtower in Dunhuang, watching the people on the other side of the river dying day by day.
Die in mourning.
living hell!
They are kowtowing to Dunhuang, they are shouting to Dunhuang, and they are wailing to Dunhuang.
then……
He watched them throw all the dead bodies into the river!
In the river!
How is this possible!
People in Dunhuang drink water from the river. Although it is not upstream, it will definitely pollute the water source - this is the way these refugees take revenge on Dunhuang for not opening the city gate to welcome them!
Who doesn't want to live?
There are so many medical clinics in Dunhuang, why don't they save us?
Everyone is so selfish in the face of life and death.
"Sir, save us!"
"This is a life!"
"Please, let my child go in, we don't care whether we live or die..."
From far away, you can hear the painful cries of the refugees.
Chang Shuwen, faced with this situation, felt soft-hearted several times and wanted to send a doctor to help with treatment. However, he still held back. He knew what these crazy refugees would do once the city gates were opened.
Torment of conscience.
Internal and external contradictions.
The 400,000 people in Dunhuang in the city naturally did not want these people to come in. In this regard, they put pressure on Chang Shuwen.
And on the other side of the river...
But it is hell on earth.
Chang Shuwen couldn't help but sigh. He knew that the troops sent by the imperial court to clear out these refugees would arrive soon. Most likely, they will face a cleanup...
However, even so, the plague has been brought over by them.
as expected.
The third day.
The first person suffering from malaria appeared in Dunhuang City. He did not make it through the night that day and died in Dunhuang City.
Throughout Dunhuang, people were in panic.
The entire Long Yan was in an uproar.
