Chapter 192 Did the General Disappear?
If these words came from someone else, they would not believe it.
Since the imperial court sent the Divine Martial General to support them, where were the generals? They had no conditions. Did the general disappear?
Wen Yunkai: "Your Highness, we haven't seen the great General Shenwu. We have been fighting the epidemic on our own since it began.
If we had someone to support us, why would we be in such a miserable state? The enemy had already made preparations and was determined to take Xiling City.
The main reason is that the Miao people are involved and are skilled in using Gu. I suspect they are the cause of this plague."
"Why would the plague happen at this critical juncture if it wasn't earlier or later?"
Ye Shiyang: "Master Wen, have you sent anyone to investigate? What exactly caused the plague? How many people died, and how many more were infected?
And have these people isolated themselves? If not, they will be contagious."
Wen Yunkai glanced at Zhan Wang, asking him whether he wanted to tell the truth.
Dongfang Cheng: "This is my accompanying military doctor, and also the eldest disciple of the Divine Doctor Valley, the Divine Doctor Ye Shiyang."
Dongfang Chen introduced everyone present.
"So it's Divine Doctor Ye. I'm so sorry."
"Okay, okay, now can you answer my question?"
Doctor Ye: “We have sent people to investigate, but we haven’t found the source.
The rest of the people have been isolated and divided into mild and severe wards.
Thousands of people have died now, and the death toll is increasing.
We had no choice but to burn the bodies, otherwise there would be secondary infection."
Nangong Xue suddenly asked.
"Master Wen, have you checked? Is it a problem with the water source?"
"Princess, we sent people to investigate, but they couldn't find any issues with the water source. Furthermore, those who went there either died or contracted the plague, so we didn't send anyone back.
It's so strange that we can be infected with the plague even if we don't drink the water.
The most important thing is that those infected with the plague have been isolated.
So this incident has caused panic among the people, and now we are out of food. If reinforcements don’t arrive, we really can’t hold on any longer.”
"I'm afraid some people will lead a rebellion, disrupting the morale of the army. Once the morale is broken, how can we fight? How can we go into battle and kill the enemy?
It’s not their fault. We haven’t received military pay for several months.
In the past, we could use our military pay to cover the cost, but now everyone is very poor.
I can only find some wild fruits in the mountains to fill my stomach, otherwise I would have starved to death long ago."
“We are all passionate men who do not want our country to be occupied by the enemy.
But now that the prince is here, we have a backbone, and we all listen to him."
"Your Highness, please put me down! I'm fine now after a good sleep."
"Well, be careful!"
"Your Majesty, we have some food with us, and we haven't finished it yet. We can take it out and use it for emergency use.
Fighting on an empty stomach is not a good idea. If the enemy comes, how can you fight if you can't even hold your sword steady? "
"Princess, I will obey you."
"Lord Wen."
"Your Majesty, I don't deserve this position, just change my name.
It's okay, I just call you that. Lord Wen, please prepare a few carriages. Although the main force hasn't arrived yet and we don't have much food, at least we can give everyone a meal to fill their stomachs."
"Your Majesty, this is very kind. I thank you on behalf of the soldiers.
I will prepare it right away."
As soon as Wen Yunkai left, everyone looked at Nangong Xue.
They knew best whether they had food or not. Could the princess be performing some magic trick? Could she conjure food out of thin air?
Dongfang Chen glanced over, and the look was particularly scary.
It's particularly oppressive, the kind that makes you want to kneel down.
Then he lowered his head and said, "What did you see? What did you know? I hope you will all rot in my stomach.
This king does not want to personally take action against you, so I hope you can be smart and decide for yourself what to say and what not to say."
Everyone fell to their knees on the ground with a thud.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, we swear allegiance to you until death.
If we saw anything, we wouldn't say a word."
"Yeah! I hope so."
Wen Yunkai spread the good news, and when the soldiers heard that there was food, they were excited.
Even if there wasn't much food, at least they could have a meal. They hadn't eaten for several days.
I almost forgot what the food tasted like. I was so hungry that my chest was sticking to my back.
Everyone came to the warehouse in the backyard. Nangong Xue closed the door and waved her hand. All kinds of rice, flour, grain, oil, rice, millet, black rice, of course brown rice, cornmeal, meat, and clean water appeared on the ground.
He clapped his hands, "Done."
"Achen, let them all come in and move the food away quickly."
"Thank you for your hard work, Princess. I will not let you suffer any loss. I will keep a record of all this and return it to you in due time."
"Well, I'm just trying to help them out. After all, these people have been hungry for so many days, and no one can bear it.
If the morale of the army is not stabilized, there will be a big chaos. Don't underestimate a small soldier and think that he can't do anything.
This idea is completely wrong. If this soldier hits you hard at the most critical moment, it would be like a knife cutting your buttocks."
"Haha, Princess, you don't want your image anymore, you don't want to be a fairy anymore?"
"I won't do it anymore, I won't do it anymore. The most important thing is to live a happy life."
Did Dongfang Chen open it? Wen Yunkai couldn't believe how much food he saw.
It's unclear how a few carriages could hold so much food.
Everyone thought it was just some brown rice, and thought that brown rice was better than having nothing to eat.
Seeing such good rice, flour, grain, oil and meat, I'm almost drooling.
The soldiers were also very happy. This was meat, food, and clean water. They didn't have to try anymore. They could finally survive.
That’s great, that’s great, the prince and princess are the reincarnations of Guanyin Bodhisattva.
If anyone dares to say anything bad about the prince again, they will fight him to the death.
The prince is the kindest person in the world, and I don’t know who spread such a rumor.
It was said that the prince was bloodthirsty and cruel, killing innocent people indiscriminately and not caring about the lives of the soldiers at all.
If I knew who it was, I would kill him.
Soon the aroma of meat could be smelled in the kitchen, and everyone couldn't wait any longer.
I had been hungry for a few days and had gotten used to it, but now when I smelled the aroma of meat, I couldn't wait a moment longer.
But the chef was very anxious. Everyone was waiting there, staring at him without blinking.
I always feel it's very creepy.
“If you little brats want to eat, come and help.
How can you all be so clueless? There's meat to eat today, don't you want to eat meat?"
