Chapter 218: Hit it
off Guan Shanling couldn't understand why King Ming agreed to let the people go ashore, but he still obeyed the order.
When Xie Wenyuan heard that it was King Ming who agreed, he was no longer afraid. After all, he was also born in a poor family and knew that it was not easy for the people. But now it was a special period, so he didn't dare to act recklessly .
The more than one hundred people who came ashore were brought to Yun Ranqing and Feng Tianxing by Guan Shanling and knelt down at a distance.
Feng Tianxing took a step forward and looked at the ragged people in front of him.
"Send a representative out, I want to ask a few questions."
After waiting for a few breaths, a middle-aged man stood up and walked forward a few steps: "This lady, I am Wu Mingshan, the teacher of Zhenhe Academy in Shuigan City, please ask the lady."
"Excuse me, Master Wu, what is the current situation in Shuigan City and Qingshui City?"
"Miss, many people have died and no one cares about us now.
At first, the governor of Shuigan City organized everyone to isolate those who were sick and let the doctors in the city treat them. The emperor also sent a royal doctor.
But as more and more people were infected, the governor could no longer control them and he himself was infected.
A large number of soldiers guarding the border were also infected. In order to control the development of the situation, General Hua, who was guarding the border, led the uninfected soldiers to retreat to the rear of Qingshui City, strictly guarding it, and not allowing the people of the two cities to escape to the interior.
The emperor An order has been issued. If the situation gets worse, General Hua will burn all the people in the two cities to death in ten days at most.
Hundreds of thousands of people!
We have been abandoned.
We heard that the Flame Country has found a way to treat the disease, so those of us who are not infected want to find a way out while we still have the ability.
Please have mercy on us, young lady. Even ants try to survive, let alone us humans.
Give us a way to live. We are willing to settle down in Flame and become Flame citizens in the future. "Wu Mingshan said this with tears in his eyes.
How does it feel to be abandoned by the country? It is more heartbreaking than being homeless.
Moreover, in the past few days, too many people have died of the epidemic, adults and children, falling down one by one, closing their eyes one by one. The unprecedented panic has made the living people suffer physically and mentally.
Feng Tianxing listened and became more certain of his thoughts.
He returned to Yun Ranqing and pulled him aside to talk: "Brother Ming Wang, since we have a way to treat the epidemic, now that the two cities have been abandoned by the Water Dragon Kingdom and there are no defenders, we can almost say that we can take them back without any effort.
In the future, these two cities will belong to our Flame Kingdom.
Now 70% of the people inside should still be alive. After they are cured, they will be the people of Flame."
Yun Ranqing's eyes lit up when he heard it.
Yes, it really took no effort to get two cities. Moreover, the people got a chance to live, and the kindness they showed to them when they were abandoned would make them remember it for the rest of their lives, and they would definitely be the most loyal people in the future.
Yun Ranqing made a decision immediately.
"Thank you, General Guan, take these people back to the county and isolate them for a period of time. If they are not infected with the disease, they will be released."
With the instructions of King Ming, a group of people sincerely kowtowed to Yun Ranqing to express their gratitude.
Back in the county, Xie Wenyuan asked someone to arrange for the people and gave each of them a bowl of medicinal soup for prevention.
That night, Yun Ranqing wrote a letter and asked General Guan to take it to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince early the next morning. It must be handed to the Crown Prince in person.
When Yun Ranzheng received the letter, he was even more excited and showed it to Feng Yuanhao.
Feng Yuanhao was even more excited: "I didn't expect that His Royal Highness Ming Wang and his sister would have such a great harvest on this trip. Good, good, good. Your Royal Highness, let's act now without delay."
This is definitely a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
The city lost eighty years ago can now be returned to Yanyan.
As the crown prince of Yanyan and the prince of the Marquis's Mansion, they all have a heart for the country and the people. This opportunity is really sent to them for nothing.
Yun Ranzheng immediately sent someone to notify General Guan to come and discuss the matter together.
Song Shuan was also called over.
The few people hit it off immediately.
"Haha, Your Highness, I have been guarding the border for so many years, and I have encountered such an easy meal. The general Hua who guards the border of Shuilong Kingdom is also a fierce general, but it's a pity that he encountered a plague, and no matter how fierce the tiger is, it can't be used."
"Haha, General Guan feels that he has no sense of accomplishment without a fierce battle, right?"
"Haha..." Several people laughed out loud.
"After this matter is over, this prince will personally learn a few moves from the general." Yun Ran was also ambitious at this time.
He himself got the martial arts given by Feng Tianxing, and he has never competed with anyone until now, so he doesn't know what level he is. After discussing
it, let's act immediately, the plague is raging all the time.
Guan Jinsong and his son returned to the camp and mobilized troops to march towards Shuigan City. Feng Yuanhan began to organize the transportation of various medicinal materials.
Wu Yueqin led the way and went directly into the heart of Shuigan City. With ten guards, he went to spread the message to the living people.
When they crossed the border without any guards and arrived at Shuigan City, they saw people staggering here and there. When they went forward to check, eight out of ten were dead.
It was a desolate scene. When they met some living people, they all had lifeless eyes and looked like they were waiting to die.
The further they went, the heavier Wu Yueqin's heart became. How many people will die from this epidemic.
"My son, we will be mother and son again in the next life. You must remember what your mother looks like before you reincarnate." A woman held her dead child in her arms and kept saying it over and over again with tears in her eyes.
"Boss, you can't die. I'm not dead yet, how can you die before me? You have to collect my body first before you die." A woman in her forties desperately shook the corpse in front of her.
"God, what did we do wrong that you punish us like this." A middle-aged man walked on the road, but his eyes were red and almost dripping blood.
"My wife, I heard that the Flame Country has controlled the epidemic, so I will take you to escape. Our child is already seven months old, and we will soon become parents, you must hold on." A young man carried a bag and supported a pregnant woman and walked forward with difficulty.
Wu Yueqin listened to the various voices of the living people along the way, and at this time his heart was so sour that he was almost numb.
In the face of a catastrophe, humans are like ants.
Wu Yueqin had long since put away his playful image in the capital.
"Each of you choose a street and act separately. First, let all the people in the city gather at the gate of the government office." Wu Yueqin ordered.
Ten guards, each holding a copper bell.
"Dear people of Shuigan City, the epidemic in the Flame Kingdom has been controlled. For the sake of the people of the world, I, the Crown Prince Flame, am willing to save everyone from the water and fire. Those who can still move should line up at the gate of the state government office to receive medicine."
Such shouts rang out and spread into the streets and alleys, over and over again, suddenly adding hope of life to this dead city.
The eyes of the people who heard it gradually brightened from disbelief.
"Really?"
"I don't know. I don't want to die, I want to go and see." A man stood up with difficulty and looked at the horse walking away.
With a glimmer of hope, those who could move walked out of the street and supported each other to walk towards the provincial government.
Whether they can survive depends on this trip.
