Chapter 305: Live and Die Together
"Yes, we are going out!"
"I'm not sick, I don't have any red spots on my body, why are you locking us up in the city to die?!"
"With so many of us, can't we get out of the city gate?"
"Your Majesty has given up, the court has given up on us! The imperial doctors can't save us at all, they can't save us!! Wuuuuu..." The people began to collapse emotionally.
How can I not be afraid when I see people around me fall down?
"The people of Huangcheng are descendants of criminals. It is our ancestors who are guilty. Do we deserve to die too? Do all these tens of thousands of people deserve to die?"
"Let's go. With so many of us, can't we break through the city gate?"
"At worst, we'll fight them to the death!" The crowd was excited and everyone had weapons in their hands.
Some of them carried hoes, some carried kitchen knives, and they looked ferocious.
A chill rose in Lu Zhengyue's heart.
There were already rows of soldiers standing on the city wall, with their bows drawn and arrows pointed directly at the city gate.
The soldiers below held long swords and looked murderous.
"You officials, stay behind the scenes and don't show up. Once we are all dead, you can leave."
“Why?” Everyone pointed at the City Lord’s Mansion of Deserted City.
"At worst, we will die together. Let's go! We have to get out too!"
"If we die and our children can get out, it will be worth it!"
The people began to shout, everyone was aroused and the situation between the two sides was tense.
There are countless civilians in the deserted city. If they really break through the city gate without fear of death, it will inevitably bring chaos to Beizhao.
"You officials only know how to bully the people and don't care about our lives! I will fight you to the death!" The man standing in the shadow had a gloomy look and bloodshot eyes.
I saw him cutting his arm with a knife in a frenzy, blood splattering everywhere.
His hands were smeared with blood and he rushed towards Lu Zhengyue like a madman.
Although the cause of the epidemic has not been found yet, there are rumors among the people that it can be transmitted through contact with blood, saliva, and air.
He tried to spill blood on Lu Zhengyue.
His heart is damnable!
"Go to hell, go to hell with us!!"
Bang!
There was a loud bang.
Rong Che rushed back and kicked the crazy man to the ground.
The man fell to the ground wailing.
"Damn it, who gave you the courage!" Rong Che kicked the man hard in the chest.
Lu Zhengyue did not stop him.
Until the man was dying.
Lu Zhengyue said, "During this epidemic, Zhengyue has never been hiding behind the scenes and afraid of death. He has always been on the front line. Does anyone have any objection?"
Everyone pursed their lips and said nothing.
"I know you are worried, worried that the court will abandon you. But Zheng Yue swears here that he will never massacre the city, nor will he abandon any of the people!"
"We must hold on to the end!"
"Words are not enough! As an official appointed by the court and a role model for the court, let everyone rest assured!" Lu Zhengyue squatted down and wiped a handful of blood on the ground.
"Ah..." everyone exclaimed.
He just took off his veil and faced all the patients without reservation.
Blood was dripping from his hands as he stared at everyone.
"My father is the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery, my stepfather is the General Guarding the Country, my mother is an official of the first rank, and my sister is Princess Zhaoyang! I swear to live and die with the people of the deserted city!" Lu Zhengyue's eyes were filled with stars, and his determination was convincing.
The excited people suddenly calmed down.
With a squeak.
The gate of the general's mansion opened.
A fiery red figure appeared. Wen Ning's face was gentle, but his brows were extremely determined. She was wearing a bright red wedding dress, she calmly took off her veil, and walked firmly in front of Lu Zhengyue.
The more Lu Zhengyue wanted to retreat, his hands were stained with the patient's blood.
Wen Ning smiled.
Interlocking their fingers with his bloody hand.
"I am his fiancée. My husband and I will live and die together with the people of the deserted city! We will never give up on anyone!" The voice was gentle, but it contained countless power.
She blinked at Lu Zhengyue.
Regardless of life or death, I just want to wear a red wedding dress for you for one day.
She was afraid of leaving regrets, like the regrets in her dream!
Lu Zhengyue choked slightly, took a deep breath, and then swallowed his tears.
The weapons in their hands loosened, and some people's eyes turned red and they began to sob and cry.
Snap, Snap…
Countless weapons were thrown on the ground.
The general glanced at Rong Che and wondered whether he should subdue the agitated people. Rong Che shook his head slightly.
"Lu...Lord Lu, we have no complaints against you. You have been guarding the clinic day and night these days, and you are not afraid of infection. We all know this in our hearts."
"You are a good man."
Everyone raised their hands to wipe away their tears.
An old lady came over with a staggering step and knelt on the ground with a thud.
"Sir, I am not afraid of death. But my granddaughter is only three years old and doesn't understand anything. Let her go."
"I am an old woman, I have had enough of life, I can die. But the child is innocent..."
Plop, plop…
Some more people in the crowd knelt down.
Everyone pushed the children in front of Lu Zhengyue and said, "Master Lu, these children are innocent. They are only a few years old, and they have to wait for death in the deserted city. Please save these children..."
"We don't want to make things difficult for you, but who can watch their children die?" the old man cried.
"We don't want to harm Bei Zhao, nor do we want to implicate innocent people. No one wants to be a sinner for all eternity..."
"We are the descendants of sinners, and we also want to leave a good impression on the world. But everyone is selfish, and we want to find a way for our children to survive..." The old lady held her thin granddaughter in her arms and shed silent tears.
The child was born in a deserted city and became the descendant of a criminal. His life was already extremely miserable.
Now, there is no chance to survive.
Lu Zhengyue said in a hoarse voice: "Take the child to the general's residence for the time being."
"Thank you, Lord Lu. Thank you, Lord Lu." Everyone knelt on the ground and kowtowed.
"Chao Chao, you guys go live in the west courtyard for the time being, and let the children live in the east courtyard, okay?" Lu Zhengyue said immediately because he was afraid of infecting his sister.
Lu Chaozhao nodded.
[Actually, it won’t infect me…]
[I am immune to all poisons...]
Rong Che brought the people back to the clinic for resettlement. The poor children, with big eyes and skinny bodies, stood in front of them in fear.
Lu Zhengyue said kindly: "Don't be afraid, Uncle Lu will take you to wash up, okay?"
Although the little ones were scared, they followed obediently.
“These children are their weak spot.” Wen Ning sighed softly.
"Second sister-in-law..." Lu Chaochao suddenly shouted.
Wen Ning, who had a resolute face just now, suddenly blushed.
"I... haven't gotten married yet." Wen Ning's eyes trembled slightly and he bit his lips shyly.
Lu Chaochao smiled and said, "Although we haven't gotten married yet, Chaochao has decided on this second sister-in-law! Apart from you, Chaochao won't recognize anyone else!"
In past and present lives, Sister Wen Ning has done so much for her second brother.
Wait for everyone to leave.
Lu Chaochao hid back in the room and released Xing Hui silently.
Xing Hui's figure has become almost transparent, his divine nature has dissipated, and he is already on the verge of divine destruction.
After wandering in the human world for thousands of years, his mind had long been lost in the endless years.
Only when he saw Chao Chao did his expression regain a bit of clarity.
