Chapter 976 Execution of All
After hearing what An Nian said, Prefect You was speechless for a moment.
In fact, he knew very well in his heart that even if all the infected patients were driven out of Zhecheng and executed, those who remained here would not be able to return to the capital.
Even if it is the best outcome, we still have to continue living in Zhecheng for a while to make sure that we are not infected.
An Nian has stayed here for such a long time. I am afraid that even if he can go back, the emperor will find a way to send him out of the capital and find another place for him to stay.
How could he be allowed to stay in the court? Being so close to the emperor, the emperor would be afraid.
Thinking of this, Prefect You felt a little desperate for a moment.
"Brother, you should think of a solution first. Are we really going to send those more than 3,000 patients away like this?"
When An Nian saw the almost depressed look on Prefect You's face, he felt a little reluctant for a moment.
But they are all in the bureau.
Prefect You and An Nian both looked at Xiao Lanyuan at the same time.
Xiao Lanyuan looked silently outside the city. Zhou Dingzhen was still sitting on the horse, obviously looking in this direction.
Even from a distance, Xiao Lanyuan could feel Zhou Dingzhen's ridicule.
Zhou Dingzhen was probably thinking, what can King Jun do here? He still had to watch him lead his troops to besiege the city and send thousands of people to the mountains to burn them to death, and there was nothing he could do.
Zhou Dingzhen has always been jealous of the military power in his hands, even though he can only mobilize 600 soldiers, but these 600 soldiers are all the strongest and most elite soldiers. Whenever there was a competition in the past, these 600 soldiers always won.
I'm afraid Zhou Dingzhen also knows about the 600 soldiers in Zhecheng now.
Xiao Lanyuan suddenly thought of this and intuitively felt that Zhou Dingzhen might also want to destroy these 600 elite soldiers here.
"Prince Jun," An Nian also thought of this at this time, "You can't do it. Zhou Dingzhen is probably waiting for you to do it."
It is hard to say whether Zhou Dingzhen came with 5,000 soldiers to treat the patients in Zhecheng or for some other purpose.
Once Prince Jun takes action, who knows what excuse Zhou Dingzhen will use?
"I'll go gather all the patients together now and make preparations first." Prefect You said dejectedly.
"Brother, do you really want to send all those patients away?" An Nian frowned.
That would really be sending him to die.
Zhou Dingzhen’s meaning was very clear, he wanted to take these three thousand people out and burn them to death.
Just imagine that scene, it would be a hell on earth with ghosts wailing and wolves howling.
An Nian also felt a little chill in his heart.
"That's definitely not possible. But we must prepare first," said Prefect You in a serious tone, "If it doesn't work, close the city gates and put up a strong resistance."
What he meant was that they had to take care of those patients first no matter what, to prevent them from getting wind of the situation and becoming flustered. If the city itself became chaotic, it would be difficult to deal with.
"Is this city gate strong?" Xiao Lanyuan asked.
"It is solid," said Governor You quickly, "but we have never experienced a siege before, so we have never verified it."
"They don't dare to actually break through the city gate and come in."
"What does Prince Jun mean?"
"They knew there were so many sick people in the city and they were definitely afraid of being infected, so they didn't dare to really attack the city, so they had to use fire."
"A Yuan!"
There were hurried footsteps, and Fu Zhaoning, Fu Jinchen, Baihu Shiyi and the others had arrived.
When a group of people rushed up to the city wall and saw Xiao Lanyuan, Fu Zhaoning breathed a sigh of relief.
She was afraid that Xiao Lanyuan would go out of the city to fight.
If five thousand soldiers surrounded him alone, they would be able to wear him out to death just by wasting time.
Moreover, Fu Zhaoning also felt that the emperor would most likely take this opportunity to take Xiao Lanyuan's life.
If Xiao Lanyuan really went out alone now, it might be exactly what the other party wanted.
"Ningning, what are you doing here? Go back."
Xiao Lanyuan became a little anxious when he saw Fu Zhaoning coming. He was originally quite calm, but when he saw Fu Zhaoning standing on the city wall, his face changed.
"What's going on now?"
Fu Zhaoning ignored him and looked down at the city wall.
Zhou Dingzhen immediately saw a woman appear on the tower. He narrowed his eyes and asked, "Is that woman Princess Jun Fu Zhaoning?"
If Fu Zhaoning could be captured, would Prince Jun have to surrender?
At that time, we would lead the people to the valley. In the chaos, Prince Jun would accidentally fall into the fire in the valley, and no one would be able to rescue him in time.
This seems like a good idea, right?
"That should be Princess Jun. It is rumored that Princess Jun is very courageous and arrogant. She is domineering in the palace relying on her medical skills and even ignores the emperor. The woman who dares to go up to the tower at this time must be her."
"You don't even take the emperor seriously? That's really crazy."
Zhou Dingzhen laughed a few times with interest, "I wonder if she can remain calm after seeing thousands of people burned to death in the valley."
A miracle doctor, huh?
It would be nice if they could have a female doctor in their army.
Zhou Dingzhen began to imagine this possibility.
He knew the emperor's thoughts very well. The emperor had hinted to him that if he could find a chance to give Prince Jun to—
Then he has made a great contribution.
If Prince Jun is gone, Princess Jun will be easier to deal with.
Many of the Zhao Kingdom's generals have lost their fierce nature. If a war really breaks out, I'm afraid they will all be weaklings and no match for him.
Anyway, Zhou Dingzhen looked down on others and could not stand those who were too soft-hearted.
You have to be tough in life, otherwise what great things can you achieve?
Fu Zhaoning's intuition was always accurate, and she spotted Zhou Dingzhen at a glance. The general looked very tall and mighty.
When he looked over, Fu Zhaoning clearly felt a strong sense of malice.
"That's Zhou Dingzhen, a military general trusted by the emperor. He is brutal and violent, and his methods are cruel." Xiao Lanyuan stretched out his hand and pulled Fu Zhaoning behind him, out of Zhou Dingzhen's sight.
"Isn't it that I don't get along with you?"
Although Fu Zhaoning's question was a question, his tone was very affirmative.
"The emperor will definitely not send a general who is on good terms with me." Xiao Lanyuan also said.
So isn't this normal?
"How good is Zhou Dingzhen's martial arts?"
An Nian beside him spoke up, "Zhou Dingzhen is a highly skilled martial artist with fierce moves. When he gets excited, he fights without regard for his life. That's why many people are terrified of him and don't want to fight him. In the past, when he was competing in military competitions, he even killed several of his colleagues."
Xiao Lanyuan glanced at him.
Why did you make it so clear? Are you trying to scare Zhao Ning?
Seeing Fu Zhaoning's expression change, Xiao Lanyuan immediately said, "Don't worry, he is no match for me."
"What do you say now?" Fu Jinchen asked.
