Shang Tian and Chang An had just finished cleaning up Linhai City and were about to build city walls when a major event occurred, throwing the people into chaos.
Su Qian frowned slightly as she looked at Shang Tian, who was pacing anxiously, and asked, "What's wrong?"
Shang Tian sighed and said, "We cleared out the zombies in Linhai City and were planning to cremate the bodies, but the people of Linhai City objected, so we delayed. Now..."
He sighed deeply and said, "A plague has broken out in Linhai City, and most of the soldiers in Chang'an Army have been infected."
However, we have fewer than a dozen doctors on hand, and we have no medicinal herbs at all.
What should we do?
Su Qian was completely bewildered. "Shouldn't you have burned the body first?"
The virus was transmitted from those people.
Shang Tian shook his head. "Now, the people of Linhai City not only don't listen to us, they don't even listen to Peng San. We have no chance to make a move."
Su Qian also felt a headache coming on, "Why don't you want to abandon Linhai City?"
If they abandon the people of Linhai City and run away, then nothing will happen.
Shang Tian knew that Su Qian was just complaining and didn't mean anything else. He smiled wryly and said, "Yeah, why don't I abandon Linhai City?"
Perhaps, from the very beginning, besides wanting to avenge my father, I also wanted to create a peaceful and prosperous world?
From a young age, we followed behind our father and fought against passing merchants. We didn't kill anyone; we were only after money.
Actually, none of us want to do this.
But what can we do? My grandfather was forced up the mountain, and we can't get down either.
In previous years, the princes only knew how to vie for the throne and increase taxes.
Even when they're not vying for the position, they still need to build palaces, and we have to provide able-bodied men; we still won't have a good life.”
Su Qian suddenly remembered a line of poetry: "When the country prospers, the people suffer; when the country falls, the people suffer."
"Never mind what they do, just lead the troops and deal with those who need to be dealt with. Anyone who dares to disobey, beat them until they submit." Seeing that Shang Tian seemed unable to make up his mind, Su Qian added insult to injury, saying, "If you continue to hesitate, not only will Linhai City be doomed, but Chang An and the others will also die."
They were the ones who dragged Chang An into this mess, but they couldn't just kill him, could they?
Shang Tian nodded. "I understand." With that, he strode out the door.
He took all the men in the village away. Pingting came somewhat uneasy. Seeing that the gate was not closed, she knocked on the door and entered the Shang family's house.
Upon seeing Su Qian, she curtsied and said, "Miss."
Su Qian nodded. "Is there something you need?"
Where did Xi'er and the others go?
Suddenly, everyone in the village left, which made her extremely uneasy.
Su Qian smiled and looked at her, saying, "Please sit down first."
Pingting glanced at Su Qian somewhat awkwardly, and seeing that she looked calm, she sat down. "Thank you, Miss."
Su Qian poured her a cup of tea and lazily asked, "What are you thinking?"
Pingting didn't know why, and just shook her head blankly, "Young master asked me to serve you, and I will stay by your side from now on."
Su Qian chuckled and asked, "Do you really not want to be with Li Zai?"
You seem quite reluctant to part with Xi'er.
Pingting gave a bitter smile. "Since you know all about my past, why tease me?" Her voice softened. "I'm afraid our fate is sealed. If it were now before me, what good could possibly come of it?"
Su Qian sighed disapprovingly and said, "In that case, I order you to move to the Li family to take care of Li Xi. Are you willing?"
