The plague in Dunhuang has begun to come to an end.
A large number of Yinzhou troops have already started disinfecting the streets - they don't understand what disinfection is. He just followed Liu Zheng's instructions and used water mixed with Artemisia annua to clean the city.
A plague is like an extremely cold winter snow, destroying everything and freezing to death many monsters, ghosts, ghosts, and snakes. Of course, there are many more innocent people...
When this winter snow passes, I don’t know how many families will be torn apart.
When the earth returns to spring, those who have passed away are no longer there.
The people of Dunhuang, some were happy, some were crying, and the various aspects of life were vividly demonstrated in Dunhuang City at this time.
A masked woman in red clothes ran from one house to another, and from that house back to this house, helping this family pack their things, and helping that family carry people who had just returned from treatment, without stopping for a moment.
Many Dunhuang people felt distressed after seeing this. The people in Dunhuang gave her a nickname, the Red Fairy. She is one of the people from the entire Longyan Dynasty who came to help Dunhuang this time.
"Girl, please take a rest!"
"Why are you working so hard!"
"Come on, come on, girl, come here and have a drink of water!"
The woman chuckled, turned around, and went back to work.
"Have you heard? This plague was deliberately released by Chen Ping and Wen Yang! These two thieves are so cruel!"
"Isn't it...you said that the imperial court doesn't care about this matter?"
"Both of them deserve to die! Kill the Nine Clans!"
Hearing these comments, the woman in red trembled, and she almost spilled the medicine she was about to give to an old man in her hand.
That's right.
This woman was Chen Ruoshi, the daughter of the governor Chen Ping, who came all the way from Liangzhou to help. These days, when she hears these comments, her heart feels like being pricked by needles.
Before, she was just a pampered, carefree young lady who grew up in Liangzhou Prefecture.
She doesn't even know how to be a female celebrity...
Every day is poetry, song, music, chess, calligraphy and painting.
However, after she came to Dunhuang and saw the hell on earth for so many days, the impact on her spirit was undoubtedly huge. She had seen those people shivering, trembling, feverish, in pain, wailing, and slowly dying...
Rescue work these days.
She seemed to be a completely different person.
She is no longer a wealthy lady, she can help people pour chamber pots, she can help people give medicine, she can endure fear, help carry the body of the dead, and then send it to be burned...
There were calluses on her hands.
Her legs were so painful that she couldn't control them.
She didn't know why she did this.
Is it because of redemption?
Is it because she was the first to know that this plague was deliberately released by her father?
These days, she has not slept well and is suffering every day. Therefore, the more suffering she has, the more she wants to work hard to rescue. She wanted to make her conscience feel better and more stable.
Dunhuang.
People die every day.
Every corpse was a strong impact on her world view.
Kill the Nine Tribes?
She smiled softly and continued to take the medicine.
Before she came, she actually didn't care anymore, right?
She saw that Dunhuang, under Liu Zheng's governance, gradually improved, turning from a hell on earth to a land of spring. Several times, she could see Liu Zheng's busy back... She wanted to call him, but she still held back.
Own……
She will soon be the daughter of a sinner.
What about him?
But he is Liu Zhizhou, who is famous all over the world and is the dream lover of countless young ladies from famous families. He is also known as the sage of the world.
She felt that all this was really too sudden.
Think back to the beginning...
He was also the most handsome man in Liangzhou. At the poetry festival, he secretly stole his own... and was beaten up and almost died.
But now...
"Ahhhhh..."
The patient drank the medicine in pain.
Chen Ruoshi chuckled lightly, shook her head, pulled her thoughts back, and said softly: "Is it bitter? Bitterness is right. Liu Zhizhou said that good medicine tastes bitter, and it is the same whether it governs people or the world. That makes sense."
When the old man heard the words "Liu Zhizhou", he immediately smiled like a child, nodded quickly, and drank it.
…
Three days of urgent march.
The 30,000 princely troops finally arrived outside Changzhou City.
The prince wanted to enter the city, but Jiang Xuan excused himself because of the serious plague and wartime situation. The prince was furious, and a violent conflict almost broke out that day.
But at this time Qin Changfeng's reinforcements had arrived in Changzhou, and the prince did not dare to fight with them.
The prince gave an order to set up camp ten miles outside the city.
"The Yinzhou Army has no sight of the East Palace and must be executed! Wait for Chen Ping's army to arrive and attack the city!"
The prince made up his mind.
He was the prince of the dynasty, and he was so disobedient to him! His think tanks couldn't persuade him anymore. Therefore, under the order of the prince, the prince's army, which had just set up camp, began to beat war drums outside the city, shouting and cursing Changzhou, and made a move to attack the city.
The people in the city were in panic.
The plague in Changzhou is still in a state of emergency, and another war disaster is coming?
Who can withstand this?
Jiang Xuan was sitting alone in Changzhou Mansion, closing his eyes and relaxing.
From time to time, soldiers came in to report on the situation outside the city.
They yelled and cursed.
Those ugly words made Jiang Xuan almost unable to hold back several times. He led his army out of the city and had a battle with the prince's army!
But he still held back.
Tolerate!
I have to say that the current Jiang Xuan has really grown a lot under the training of Liu Zheng and Qingyang Shuo. He knew that no matter how much the prince's army scolded them, they were still outside the city. If he refused to let them in, it would be difficult for them to enter, and his anti-epidemic work could proceed smoothly. But if he opens the city gate and attacks, the nature will be different...
He hit the prince first!
No matter where you take this, there is no room for reasoning!
so.
He could only endure it.
Even if the prince sent someone to scold the son of Liu Zhizhou merchant, scolded Jiang Xuan as a pariah without a father and mother, scolded Qin Changfeng as a ranger, Yinzhou was like this, Yinzhou army was like this, and there were even people wearing women's clothes. Playing the role of Jiang Xuan, singing opera outside the city... He was still enduring it.
The overall situation is important!
Since the young master has entrusted Changzhou's anti-epidemic work to himself, he should take the fight against the epidemic as the overall goal!
While enduring the abuse from outside the city, he presided over the anti-epidemic work.
Jiang Xuan felt that at the same time, he was also tempering his character.
so.
Qin Changfeng couldn't help it several times and wanted to go out to challenge the generals of the Prince's Army, but was stopped by Jiang Xuan.
He smiled and said to Qin Changfeng: "Brother Changfeng, blocking the prince from outside the city is already a serious crime. The world will definitely punish him with words and writings. If we continue to fight, I am afraid that it will not be in line with the overall situation of the prince."
"If the city is not broken, then hold on!"
"Wait for the young master to decide the winner!"
Jiang Xuan felt that given his and Qin Changfeng's status, they would always suffer a loss regardless of the outcome of the confrontation with the prince.
The current situation in Liangzhou is complicated.
But when the young master comes to confront the prince head-on, it will be the day that determines the outcome.
really.
Liu Zheng rushed to Changzhou two days after the prince besieged the city.
Seeing that there was no fierce conflict between the two sides, Liu Zheng was relieved and climbed up the tower. When he saw the prince's formation, he smiled bitterly: "The prince really wants to fight, but he doesn't have enough troops..."
Jiang Xuan and Qin Changfeng's expressions changed.
"Sir, what should we do?"
"When the Liangzhou soldiers come to help, will it be enough?"
Liu Zheng smiled bitterly: "I'm afraid he won't have the chance to come. Come with me to see the prince!"
Everyone's expressions changed.
"Sir, you must not do this!"
"The prince, now I wish he could..."
The generals were startled.
If the current prince sees Liu Zheng, why not cut him into pieces? The prince has hated Liu Zheng for more than a day or two. More importantly, when Liu Zheng goes to see the prince, should he bring troops or not?
If you lead troops, do you want to fight?
If not...
If the prince casually found a crime for Liu Zheng and killed him on the spot, it would be a big worry. At that time, even if the emperor blames him, this is his son after all. It is a fait accompli, who can do anything?
Liu Zheng smiled: "With thousands of clouds here, what's the fear among thousands of armies? Besides, I went to give him gifts and negotiate. If he wasn't stupid, he wouldn't kill me..."
When everyone saw it, they couldn't help it.
Then he began to rectify his troops and horses.
If the prince really dares to do anything to Liu Zheng, 30,000 Yinzhou troops will definitely come out in full force! No matter if you are the prince or not, even the current emperor will kill Liu Zhizhou to avenge him!
Liu Zheng and Pei Qianyun, each riding a horse, came out of Changzhou City.
The group of opera princes who were still showing their teeth and claws were dumbfounded.
