Chapter 301 Who is the wronged one?
Lu Zhengyue ordered his men to take the food away.
I left some for Chaochao as a snack.
Ask someone to prepare another banquet.
Although it is not luxurious, it is extremely delicious. Lu Zhengyue drank the soup comfortably, looking a little dazed.
"Is there anything unusual in the city?"
"Could it be that Dong Ling poisoned it?" Wen Ning asked.
Lu Zhengyue shook his head decisively: "Although Dongling is barbaric, it is not so bad that it would hurt the enemy by 1,000 but lose 800 of its own. Their situation is worse than that of the deserted city."
"Because the generals did not exercise strict control, the plague showed signs of spreading."
"We will reach Dongling Imperial City within three days."
"This time Dong Ling will be crippled if he doesn't die."
After a simple lunch, everyone had no intention of resting and followed Lu Zhengyue out for an inspection.
Lu Zhengyue checked Chao Chao and Wen Ning's isolation masks again and again.
His brows were full of worry.
But now we have entered the city, it is too late to say anything.
"Let's go to the incinerator and take a look." Rong Che said first.
Lu Zhengyue walked in front. There were soldiers on duty everywhere in the city, and people greeted him along the way.
The incinerator was guarded by soldiers all around. Everyone could only look at the piles of corpses from afar and were deeply shocked.
The corpses were piled up so high that one had to crane one's head to see the top.
The exposed skin of everyone was covered with large red spots, and the red spots were all ulcerated, which looked extremely horrible.
"Don't look!" Lu Zhengyue covered her eyes.
Lu Chaochao pried his hands apart suspiciously.
It's strange, why do they all have a strange aura?
"Has anything big happened in the city recently?" Lu Chaochao asked curiously.
Lu Zhengyue was about to shake his head, but then he said, "It's not a big deal. You know that the deserted city is surrounded by deserts, and only one underground palace was found outside the deserted city."
"There are many burial objects in the underground palace. At that time, I was leading my troops to fight against Dong Ling, and when I found it, the underground palace had been hollowed out. However, that happened half a month ago."
"Later, I tried to recover the money, but couldn't." Lu Zhengyue scratched his head.
"I wanted to report the underground palace to His Majesty, but then a plague broke out and I put the matter on hold."
Seeing Chao Chao's suspicion about the underground palace, Lu Zhengyue said.
"In fact, we have taken the doctor to the underground palace to check, and there are no traces of poison."
Rong Che nodded: "I'll ask the imperial physician to take a look later."
"We cannot let go of any anomaly."
"Can I go and take a look later?" Lu Chaochao asked cautiously.
"Actually, there's nothing to see. I heard that when the underground palace was first opened, there were countless gold and silver inside, copper coins all over the floor, and even quite a few jade artifacts. Now the underground palace has been robbed clean, with only two walls left." Lu Zhengyue couldn't help but laugh.
"Hehe, let's go and see which unlucky guy has his underground palace dug up." Lu Chaochao covered his mouth and laughed.
"You're so talkative." Lu Zhengyue hooked her little nose.
Lu Zhengyue hoped that she would avoid going to the epidemic area, so he asked her to go with the imperial physician to see the underground palace tomorrow.
When we returned from patrol, it was already late at night.
The expressions of the imperial physicians were solemn, more serious than expected, and one old imperial physician even began to doubt his life.
"Strange, it's ineffective against all treatments! Even the golden needles inserted into it stimulated the toxin to spread further, accelerating the process."
"That's fine, but the medicine is obviously the right one for the patient, but it caused him to vomit blood." Several doctors sat in a circle, without any idea in mind.
After the establishment of Northern Zhao, there was also a plague.
Even if we can't find an antidote, at least we can find a method to slow down the progression of the plague.
Everyone discussed until late at night, until the sky turned pale, and then everyone took a short rest with tired faces.
A group of old doctors with white hair and beards, their bones almost falling apart, did not dare to rest for long.
If they sleep for a moment longer, countless people will die.
After Lu Chaochao finished her breakfast, the imperial doctors got up tiredly.
With dark circles under his eyes, he still forced himself to go to the underground palace.
"Half of the people will go to the underground palace, and the other half will go to the clinic." The imperial physician waved his hand, wearing a thick mask, not daring to expose his skin.
The entrance to the underground palace is not far outside the city.
Outside the deserted city, the sky was filled with sand and wind. When Lu Chaochao opened his mouth, he got a mouthful of sand.
“Ptah, pah, pah…” Lu Chaozhao kept spitting.
"I asked you to wear a veil, but you refused to listen." Lu Zhengyue grinned.
"The weather conditions in the deserted city are extremely bad, so it has always been a place of exile. If you can reach the deserted city, you will lose half your life if you don't die. Even if you finally reach the destination, you may not be able to survive the bad weather."
"There was a huge sandstorm a while ago, and the people's doors were half blocked by sand. It took a long time to remove the sand."
"The underground palace outside the city has finally revealed its clues."
The common people leading the way said with burning eyes: "Our ancestors have lived in the deserted city for generations, and we have never heard of the existence of an underground palace in the desert. That day, the underground palace appeared in the world, but you didn't see it... Tsk tsk..."
"A colorful glow appeared in the desert, attracting people from the city to watch."
"The sunset glows above the underground palace, revealing the main door..."
The man smacked his lips. “The people started to make a noise. Before the soldiers arrived, they all smashed the gate of the underground palace.”
"Oh my, the moment the underground palace was opened, there was so much golden light inside that it almost blinded my eyes."
"The ground was covered with copper coins, even with glittering gold seeds. Everyone's eyes instantly turned red, and they rushed into the underground palace like crazy, snatching the silver coins on the ground."
"Everyone was so eager to win that they even fought over it."
"Some people rushed in frantically, even smashing the eternal lamps that were lit in the underground palace and taking them away."
"The wall was inlaid with night-shining pearls, but they smashed down the wall and took away the stones as well. It was like a swarm of locusts, leaving nothing behind. Even the oil in the eternal lamps was taken away."
Lu Zhengyue's face turned dark: "This is ridiculous."
At this moment, standing at the entrance of the underground palace.
Before entering, you can see the mess on the ground.
There is a row of small words on the heavy stone door: Please do not disturb the peace of the tomb owner.
There is a line of small words on the back of the stone gate.
It can be seen that this is written for those who refuse to listen to advice and insist on getting started.
"If you insist on entering, you can take what you need, kowtow and express your gratitude, but you must not disturb the dead souls in the tomb." Lu Zhengyue raised his eyebrows.
"The owner of this underground palace is kind-hearted." You can take away the things in the tomb by kowtowing.
The people who were leading the way curled their lips and said, "Not a single one kowtowed."
"They even fought in the underground palace, making it a mess. Look at this mess..."
There was even an unpleasant odor in the air.
The man leading the way felt embarrassed when he saw that there were female relatives among the nobles.
"Some people urinated everywhere in the underground palace because they failed to rob gold and silver."
Lu Zhengyue's face looked ugly: "He doesn't know how to live or die, and has no respect for others!" But he was fighting with Dong Ling at that time, and he had no time to suppress him.
The eternal lamp and the night-shining pearl on the wall, as well as the wall, were all scratched and had pits all over them.
The situation inside was even more horrible.
Lu Chaochao's face was full of disgust: "Which innocent person is so miserable that his grave is dug up..."
