This house was made entirely of thatch, and it felt like it would collapse if the wind blew or the rain came. It was not even as good as the tents built by their army themselves.
I really don't know what kind of people would live here.
The soldiers knocked on the door and it opened quickly.
A woman appeared before him, her eyes revealing a sense of vicissitudes. The soldier said, "The river has been poisoned by your king. Never drink from it again."
The woman nodded. "I see. Thank you."
After that, the door was slammed shut. The soldiers were a little surprised, as this was the first thank you they had received.
Before leaving, he looked back a few times.
The people living on the outskirts of the city did not believe what the soldiers said at all, and still went to the river to fetch water to drink at home as usual.
As a result, after one night, many people died in their homes. At first, no one noticed this because everyone chose to hide at home to avoid the war.
It wasn't until two days later, when fewer and fewer people went out on the streets, that everyone realized something was wrong.
It turned out that what the soldiers said was true. Their king was willing to sacrifice them for victory. The people were instantly chilled.
The king of Changman saw that the time was right and immediately sent troops to fight, but was eventually defeated and forced to flee.
It turned out that only the people living on the edge of his own city were poisoned, and nothing happened on the other side. The king thought there must be a gap, so he called all the people who knew about the matter and questioned them one by one.
When he encountered people he felt had problems, he would choose to kill them directly. He would rather kill ten thousand people by mistake than let one go.
The palace was filled with blood.
When the servants came to clean up, some people were so scared that they vomited, and some people were so scared that they even had nightmares at night.
More and more people living on the outskirts of the city were poisoned. They wanted to go into the city to see a doctor, but they were stopped outside. They were told that they were afraid that the pathogen would spread into the city, so they were not allowed to enter.
The people were completely disheartened. Some people thought that it was the soldiers from the opposite side who came to inform them in the beginning, but they drove them away and ignored what they said. Now they felt extremely regretful.
Even the soldiers on the opposite side were so kind to them, but their own king wanted to kill them.
For a moment, there were cries of sighing everywhere.
Gradually, people died and everyone felt that they could not wait there any longer, so someone suggested crossing the river to ask for help from the other side.
Two, three, four, and more people followed and wanted to go to the other side, even though they knew they might face the risk of being killed if they went there.
But there is hope after all, at least it is better than waiting here.
So everyone went over in a group and came to the opposite city wall.
The soldiers thought that the rebels had arrived, and just as they were about to shoot, they realized something was wrong. These people looked like ordinary civilians. Could they be spies sent by the opposing rebels, deliberately disguised as such?
Unable to make up his mind, he immediately sent someone to inform the generals. Li Jingchen led everyone to the city wall and saw a group of old, weak and sick people below. Their faces were pale, their backs were hunched, and they looked like they were about to die.
A soldier behind them recognized them and said, "General, these people are civilians from the opposite city. I saw them when I went to notify them a few days ago."
Now that his identity was confirmed, Li Jingchen said, "What are you doing here? Aren't you afraid of being killed?"
The people knelt down and said, "Please save us. We drank the river water and it's all poisoned, but the city won't let us in."
Before they could finish their words, someone fell down and lay on the ground. Some women were holding their newborn babies in their arms, and the babies' cries were so weak and feeble.
Li Jingchen ordered the city gate to be opened, leaving a small gap so that these people could be carried in.
The generals behind him were afraid of a trap. Jiang Tuantuan nodded at Li Jingchen and signaled him to let these people in. Seeing this, Li Jingchen became more determined and asked someone to bring them in immediately.
Because the elf has observed that there are no soldiers hidden nearby, it is safe.
These people didn't expect that they could actually get treatment, and smiles appeared on their weak faces.
After entering the city, the military doctor immediately came forward to treat him, but he could only delay the disease but not really cure it. The situation was once at a dead end.
It has been snowing outside for several days, on and off. It looks like it's time to stop.
Jiang Tuantuan planned to go there himself and let the elf scan their bodies to see if there was any potion that could cure the disease.
Just as the elf was about to scan, he suddenly said in surprise: "Someone you know is here?"
"Who is it?"
"Hua He and the others are all here."
Jiang Tuantuan's eyes lit up immediately. Hua He and the others had actually come. Now he was saved.
There was no need for the elf to scan. After waiting for four hours, it finally arrived.
Jiang Tuantuan Rouer excitedly hugged Hua Hemingman.
"I'm so happy that you all came."
Hua He said, "As a doctor, of course I have to come."
Ming Man said, "How can you come and I won't come?"
Before they had time to exchange a few more pleasantries, Jiang Tuantuan immediately brought Hua He, Su Qingming and the remaining two doctors to see the patients.
Everyone took the pulse of each person. Although the poison was strong, it was not fatal. As long as the patient could receive timely treatment, there was a high probability of survival.
Fortunately, they drank little, so they can still be saved.
Moreover, they brought a lot of medicinal herbs and food with them this time, which can be used now.
The four doctors studied the prescription and cooperated with Hua He's acupuncture to treat the disease together. The effect was twice the result with half the effort. The military doctors learned a lot from them.
Jiang Tuantuan and others helped stay up late, handed them things, and fed them medicine. They were very attentive.
Everyone originally thought it was good enough to be rescued, but they didn't expect to receive such careful care, and they suddenly didn't want to return home.
After the careful care of the four doctors, the people gradually recovered.
Hua He said, "Although your bodies have been cured, you were poisoned after all. There is still some residual toxin in your body that cannot be eliminated. You must take better care of your bodies in the future, because you are more susceptible to illness than ordinary people."
The people got up from their beds, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed to thank the four doctors, Li Jingchen, Jiang Tuantuan and others.
It is only in difficult times that you can tell whose heart is made of flesh and whose heart is made of stone.
The people begged to be allowed to stay, as they never wanted to return to Changman Kingdom.
Li Jingchen readily agreed, and Mingman, as a princess, played a role at this time.
She gave each of the people a new identity, representing the emperor's recognition of their identities. After knowing that the person in front of them was the princess, everyone sighed in their hearts, saying that even the princess had come to the battlefield, this was really a good country.
