Chapter 349 Seeking Medicine
Whether it was the golden eagle and the tiger that appeared out of nowhere in the sky, or Xiao Ye’s death, they were so sudden that they couldn’t react.
A great emperor just died like that?
The few Jinyiwei who were protecting Xiao Ye were obviously stunned for a moment. It was not until they were knocked down by the tiger that some of them came to their senses from the shock and began to beg for mercy.
Jiang Tangtang called Menghu back, and the Hanlin soldiers came over and sent the captives and Xiao Ye's body to Lu Shiyan.
How to deal with these captives and how to use Xiao Ye’s death are all decided by Lu Shiyan!
When Lu Shiyan learned that Jiang Tangtang was attacked and Xiao Ye had actually bypassed the border and found a way to go to Boshan, his face instantly darkened.
The several lieutenants who followed him had no doubt that he would go crazy if anything happened to Jiang Tangtang.
And now, even though he saw that Jiang Tangtang was fine and Xiao Ye was dead, he still wanted to catch Xiao Ye and whip his corpse.
"I'm fine." Seeing that he looked like he was about to lose his temper, Jiang Tangtang squeezed his hand and said.
"I know you're okay." Lu Shiyan wasn't just scared, he was also reflecting on himself. This time it was his negligence.
Xiao Ye first misled him with the army, and then went to great lengths to capture Jiang Tangtang. His intention was probably not simple.
"You should go back to Lingnan first!" He shook Jiang Tangtang's hand, "I'll go back to Lingnan with you today."
Today she summoned Gugu and Menghu in front of so many people. There are bound to be more and more rumors about her.
With Xiao Ye's death and the Xirong who had been eyeing them covetously, he was not at ease with Jiang Tangtang staying in Bohai County.
It just so happened that the construction of houses and other matters at the foot of Boshan had been almost planned, but Jiang Tangtang had not yet figured out how to make the most of the natural gas discovered at the foot of Boshan.
I'd better go back to Lingnan first to deal with the official business that has piled up during this period.
Jiang Tangtang immediately agreed, "I can go back by myself, you go and take care of the military affairs. This is a critical time, you don't need to waste time traveling to Lingnan with me."
Lu Shiyan insisted on sending her back, "It won't take long to go back. Don't worry, it won't interfere with military affairs."
"I feel safer with you. How about we go back together when you're done?"
Jiang Tangtang also insisted on her own opinion, "If you are really worried, I will go back to the space to rest during this period."
As long as she enters the space, no one can find her. It is safer than anywhere else.
Lu Shiyan had no choice but to compromise and let Jiang Tangtang rest first while he took care of military affairs.
Xiao Ye's death caused great chaos in the morale of the soldiers of the Great Zhou, and Lu Shiyan easily won the victory.
All the soldiers brought by Xiao Ye were received by Lu Shiyan.
Now we just need to gather the troops and go to the capital, gather the remaining troops in the capital, deal with Xiao Ye’s sons, and then drive away the Western Rong. Then the world will be temporarily peaceful.
However, a very serious plague broke out among the soldiers that Xiao Ye had brought with him earlier.
On the first day of the outbreak, more than one hundred people died before they could receive medication.
In fact, not long after leaving Beijing, some people in the army began to show symptoms of epidemic disease such as high fever, vomiting, and coughing. Someone reported this to Xiao Ye, but Xiao Ye did not pay much attention to it and continued to let the army march at full speed.
This delay caused the soldiers who contracted the plague first to become more ill, and those soldiers who contracted the plague came into contact with soldiers who did not contract the plague, causing the plague to spread rapidly within the army.
This is the most severe test Jiang Tangtang and Lu Shiyan have faced since the outbreak of the plague.
With so many soldiers infected with the disease, a lot of medicine would be needed.
Jiang Tangtang did not return to Lingnan after all, but stayed and worked with Lu Shiyan to deal with the epidemic.
The Western Rong, who were caught in the vortex of the epidemic, also discovered that Lingnan had a way to cure the plague. They sent a letter to Lu Shiyan, expressing their willingness to withdraw their troops in exchange for medicine to treat the plague.
Jiang Tangtang looked at the letter from Xirong and asked, "What are you going to do?"
"I have dealt with Xirong many times, and I feel that they cannot be trusted. I am afraid that once they get the medicine, they will immediately regret it once the epidemic is over." Lu Shiyan said.
"Then I'm afraid war is about to break out." Jiang Tangtang didn't want to give the Xirong medicine. It wasn't that she was cruel, but she watched the Xirong people die in large numbers.
The fact that the epidemic has developed into the current serious situation is, after all, the fault of the Western Rong.
If Qi Hongshen had not had selfish motives in the beginning and wanted to use the plague to harm Lingnan, and deliberately let the Western Rong people infected with the plague out of the border and led them to Lingnan, how could it have turned out like this today, with people from all countries suffering from the plague?
He actually has the nerve to come to them for medicine.
Lu Shiyan said: "Let's start the war. There will be a war between us and Xirong sooner or later." Even if it wasn't this time, he would find an opportunity to wipe out Xirong.
How could he leave behind such a big threat that always threatens his daughter-in-law's safety?
"Should we make some preparations in advance?"
Because so many people were infected with the disease, the fields originally planned for growing medicinal herbs were simply not enough.
Except for orchards where it is inconvenient to pull out the weeds, and paddy fields where rice is grown, other fields are basically used to grow medicinal herbs.
This has resulted in no new food income in the space recently.
And war cannot be fought without food and fodder.
Lu Shiyan understood Jiang Tangtang's meaning very well and took the initiative to say, "I'm going to farm tonight."
Jiang Tangtang glared at him, "Still farming? You want to leave early so that I can have more lovers in the future."
Lu Shiyan was so angry that his teeth itched. He pulled her over and bit her mouth as punishment, "You're naughty again!"
The two of them had been busy these days and hadn't had time for in-depth communication for a long time. This kiss, which was a bit punitive, made both of them breathless.
Jiang Tangtang tried to calm her heartbeat and told him business, "I have a way to quickly gather food and grass without having to work so hard."
Lu Shiyan's eyes fell on her rosy lips, and he kissed her uncontrollably. After the kiss ended, he said in a hoarse voice, "What's the solution?"
Jiang Tangtang hung limply on him, not understanding how he could still spare any attention, and asked her what she could do.
She was a little annoyed and glanced at him, "The same old method I used before."
Lu Shiyan realized what she meant almost instantly.
With Gugu, who can fly thousands of miles a day, things will be easier now than before. "Where do you want to go first?"
"Of course we should go to Xirong, where the most grain is stored," Jiang Tangtang said.
Lu Shiyan smiled, thinking that this method would not only help him quickly gather food and supplies, but might also prevent a war from breaking out.
After all, they had no food or supplies, so even if the Western Rong people wanted to fight to the death, they were powerless.
He immediately said, "I'll arrange for someone to investigate."
After saying that, he added meaningfully, "Wait for me to come back."
