Chapter 116 Broke the Appointment
Regarding this matter... Shen Wangshu couldn't say much. After all, everyone wanted to live. Fortunately, Tongji Village had Doctor Zhang, but other villages had nothing, and no one knew who could save their lives.
However, since Chen Ting has already written a letter to his uncle, it should arrive soon. By then, Duke Rong can mobilize the city's medical resources to prevent the disease before it happens, which is better than the direct outbreak of the plague in the book.
Thinking of this, Shen Wangshu whispered a few words to comfort his frowning senior brother.
"Let's hope so. There's no point in rushing this matter... By the way, Xiao Shen, do you remember when the enemy raided in the original book?"
Yesterday, Shen Wangshu told Zhang Dai a few words about the plot that he still remembered. If the city was broken due to a great plague, then they must indeed deploy defenses and prepare early, especially the military camps on the outskirts of the city.
Chen Ting will not take all of the Chen family army with him when he goes to war. Moyun City is his base camp in the northern border. The city defense army is extremely powerful. This time, he even left his trusted confidant Chen Long behind to lead the troops to guard the city. He absolutely cannot allow any accidents to happen here.
“I only remember that it was shortly after the outbreak of the great plague. It seemed like autumn had already begun at that time…” Shen Wangshu frowned and thought about it. It was October now, and the time boundary was too unclear. She could not accurately predict when the enemy would arrive.
But it’s always better to resolve it early.
Even Shen Wangshu, a serious reader, didn't remember it, let alone Zhang Dai, who only glanced at it once or twice in his spare time. It took him a long time to remember that his junior sister was a cannon fodder.
"It's better not to say too much, let's get down to business." Zhang Dai rubbed his brows, and together with Shen Wangshu, he gave a scientific introduction to the epidemic to the people who were still at home in Xinhua Village. He also explained that they would come here to distribute medicine tomorrow, and asked them to remember the precautions and try not to let the disease develop more seriously.
After finishing everything, I felt that the strength of two people was just a drop in the bucket. They couldn't take care of the patients in two villages at the same time. If they continued like this, they would be exhausted to death.
After returning to Tongji Village, I went to observe the conditions of the people who had used the medicine yesterday. The first version of the medicine was quite effective. Many people said that the rashes on their bodies were not so itchy anymore, the children with fever had their fevers gone, they were more energetic and could eat, and they would smile at the two brothers and sisters who had saved them.
After a busy day, Shen Wangshu was so tired that he went back and fell asleep immediately without even a dream. Naturally, he didn't bother to call Chen Ting using Dragon Horn.
On the third day, Chen Ting's letter arrived. Duke Rong ordered all the doctors in the city to be summoned to form a simple medical team and let Chen Wangshu take charge. Notices were posted in the city to popularize the epidemic and announce the method of making masks, so that people who were not feeling well should seek medical treatment immediately and not go out casually.
No matter what, in just a few days, Shen Wangshu had done everything he could, issuing orders one after another, popularizing the horror of the disease, and with the majesty of the Duke's Mansion, the people were very cooperative.
The situation in the city was still under control, so Shen Wangshu led his men to deal with several villages that were severely affected by the epidemic.
She was busy day and night, trying to preserve the city's manpower before the enemy raided, especially taking care of the military camp. She didn't notice how long it had been since the dragon horn lit up, or how long it had been since she had entered Qingwu's dream to see the little golden dragon in the shed scales period.
After I came to my senses, I never dreamed of that mysterious place again.
Qingwu Mountain, the little golden dragon, the dragon clan’s burial ground…all those illusory dreams really disappeared and never appeared again.
Shen Wangshu would feel melancholy when he thought about it occasionally, and he also thought about asking Chen Ting about it, but when he got busy, he forgot all these messy trivialities.
Dreams are just illusions after all, but the endless stream of patients every day are real and cannot be delayed.

The news in Moyun City did not spread to Canghui Mountain and the border. During the days when Shen Wangshu had no contact with Chen Ting, the border was also in turmoil, and the confrontation between the two armies was in full swing.
Just as Chen Ting himself said, the Turkic commander was indeed a genius, and was confident that he could defeat the veteran general Chen Jiang, but he could do nothing to him. Chen Ting could see through many of his conspiracies and tricks at a glance, but he was not moved by them and only fought on the front line.
On the front battlefield, the Turks have never been a match for the tens of thousands of cavalry of the Chen family - this will not change because of a change of commander. In the face of such magnificent momentum, any army will be defeated without a fight and will want to flee.
After several such clashes, Chen Ting regained several lost cities on the border of the Great Zhou. Helan Xiu was not in a hurry. The two armies retreated several miles and confronted each other from a distance. If the enemy does not move, I will not move.
When Helan Xiu once again sent an envoy to Canghui Mountain to invite King Canghui, Chen Ting had just gone through the most critical three days.
The inhibitory drug was very effective. During the day, Chen Ting remained calm while discussing matters and looking at the sand table with his subordinates. Only Fu Yao, who was closest to him, noticed that something was wrong with his master. Although his tone was still steady and gentle, it was obvious that he was enduring something.
After everyone had left, the thick dragon tail that had been running uncontrollably under the wide armor suddenly popped out.
Chen Ting stayed alone in the general's tent, missing his wife terribly.
He only realized now that only Long Jiao could initiate the call and he could only passively answer the call. If Shen Wangshu had no idea, then he would not be able to contact her even if he racked his brains.
In the first few nights, the two of them slept almost all night listening to each other's voices. The atmosphere was intimate, ambiguous and hazy. However, in the past few days, one of them suddenly disappeared, and it was this special day. Chen Ting almost couldn't resist the withdrawal reaction and felt extremely depressed.
The subordinates who discussed matters with him these days all felt that the general had a particularly bad temper.
"Liar..." He said he would spend the next few days with me, but he waited and waited, but no news came.
The dragon's tail behind him kept swinging back and forth anxiously. Chen Ting simply held it in his arms to prevent it from making any noise so as not to attract people outside. He sat alone on the bed, feeling depressed and angry.
But no matter how angry he was, when he thought about what Chen Wangshu had told him about the great plague that day, he couldn't help but make excuses for the person who broke the promise.
Is it because I’m too busy these days...that’s why she didn’t look for me? After all, the epidemic is so serious that the lady has been working hard for several days. Perhaps now is the critical moment and she is unable to concentrate.
Maybe I just forgot.
Another voice came out from the bottom of my heart.
The general's brows furrowed again, with a hint of dissatisfaction and hostility covering them, and even the dragon's tail began to beat even harder.
Chen Ting let go of his hand and listened to the noise he made with an expressionless face. He thought angrily - Anian didn't come to accompany me through the period of illness, what's the point of me living? Let everyone know that I am a monster! Let everyone come and see it, so that I won’t have to go through the trouble of covering it up in the future!
If anyone laughs at me and hurts me, I can then naturally ask my wife for a hug and comfort, and ask her to stay close to me and never leave me.
