Blood stains can be seen everywhere outside the city gate.

There are even rotting and smelly corpses in the grass.

  The stench could not be blocked even through the carriage and three layers of masks.

"Who is that on the other side? Stop immediately!" The general on the city wall shouted loudly with his bow in hand.

"The deserted city is filled with plague and there is no way out. Please think carefully before entering! If you leave the city, you will be killed without mercy!" The general was wearing armor and his eyes were firm.

Rong Che was riding on a horse, and a close confidant beside him said loudly: "General Rong has been ordered to take the imperial doctor back to the deserted city, but Vice General Zhu hasn't opened the door yet!"

 The soldiers on the city wall looked over instantly.

 Vice General Zhu was startled, and then quickly walked down the city wall.

Many people inside the city wall stopped, and they all said in expectation: "Vice General Zhou, please let us out. I'm not sick, I really am not sick... Please let me out."

 “I will not bring the disease out.” The man prayed on his knees with a look on his face.

"I'm not from Huangcheng, I'm just here to do business. Please let me out, please..."

Vice General Zhu didn’t even look back: “Open the city gate and welcome the general.”

There was a squeak.

 The city gate is wide open.

 “General Rong!” Vice General Zhou’s face was full of joy, but he stopped getting closer after three steps away from General Rong.

"General, why are you going back to the deserted city at this time? Now that we can't come to the deserted city, please send the imperial doctor and then return to the capital!" Vice General Zhou did not want the general to set foot in the deserted city.

Rong Che glanced at him.

 “You boy, can I still be a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death?”

 “Open the city gate quickly.”

 Vice General Zhu and Rong Che have been friends for many years. Knowing his superior’s character, he immediately shouted: “Open the city gate and welcome the general!”

 The city gate is wide open.

Rong Che returned to the city with his carriage and soldiers.

 The rancid smell in the city became more and more obvious.

  Lu Chaochao was lying by the car window with his little head exposed. Vice General Zhu looked shocked: "Why did you bring your child to Huangcheng?"

“The plague in the city has not been controlled, and countless people are getting sick every day. Some people even escape at night..."

Rong Che’s tone was slightly helpless.

 “Leave her alone, you just have to respect her.”

 Vice General Zhu’s face was filled with surprise. How could this be a trivial matter in a matter of life and death?

Lu Chaochao grinned at him happily.

Several carriages had just passed through the city gate when they saw a man rushing through the city gate like a madman.

 “I want to get out, I want to get out!”

"If you stay in the deserted city, you will get infected sooner or later, and you will die. You will definitely die! Once you are infected, there will be no cure. I want to get out!" The man looked a little crazy.

 “Stop him!” Vice General Zhu’s eyebrows were serious.

 Even if there are soldiers to restrain him.

The man struggled desperately, "Let me out! If I stay in the deserted city, I can only wait for death. Let me out!"

 “I’m not sick, why can’t you let me go!”

 The man roared and struggled.

“Wait a minute...look at his tongue.” Lu Chaochao frowned.

When the soldiers saw Lu Chaochao surrounded by carriages, they guessed that she was of noble status, so they pinched the man's cheek and exposed his tongue.

 The tongue was scarlet and covered with red spots.

 Vice General Zhu’s face changed instantly.

 “You still said you weren’t infected?” Vice General Zhu grinded his teeth angrily.

 “Take him back for treatment quickly!”

After the man was escorted away, Lieutenant General Zhu said with a dark face: "This disease spreads very quickly, and symptoms will appear even without contact. We dare not let the people leave at all. Once the plague spreads, we will be blamed!"

"The people in the deserted city are innocent. All we can do is try our best to defend the deserted city and prevent the plague from leaking out."

 “Send the imperial doctors back to the general’s mansion to rest first!” Vice General Zhu waved his hand.

The doctors looked at each other and said, "Thank you, Lieutenant General, for your kindness. Please send us to see the patient first. The epidemic cannot wait." The old doctors were already old, but they couldn't wait to cure diseases and save people.

Rong Che nodded, and Vice General Zhu ordered his cronies to send him over. “Where is Lu Erlang?” Rong Che asked.

A hint of a smile appeared on Vice General Zhu's eyebrows: "General, although the boy you recommended is young, he is really capable of handling tasks. He should be a natural talent in our military camp!"

 “She has fine skin and tender flesh, and her skin is as white as a girl’s, but she is bolder and more careful than a veteran.”

 Vice Zhu will praise him very much.

 “Lu Erlang is currently at the General’s Mansion.”

There are a hundred thousand people in the deserted city, but at this moment, the streets are empty and look depressed and desolate.

“There’s thick smoke over there, what are you doing?” Lu Chaochao asked.

 A thick black smoke in the distance is like a huge mushroom cloud.

 Vice General Zhu paused: "The bodies are being burned."

“Countless people died in the city every day, and the corpses piled up like mountains, even if they were burned, they couldn’t be burned.” They burned regardless of day and night, and they still piled up like mountains.

 There are patients falling down on both sides of the road from time to time.

Shortly there were soldiers, fully armed, dragging the sick away.

 Along the way, everyone felt so heavy that they couldn’t breathe.

Lu Chaochao got off the carriage and followed Rong Che into the general's mansion. There seemed to be no maids or servants in the mansion, but fortunately it was clean and tidy.

"Lu Erlang, Lu Erlang..." the deputy general just shouted, and Lu Zhengyue quickly walked out of the door.

 When I left home last year, I still looked like a fair-skinned scholar.

At this moment, his skin became dark, but his eyes were particularly resolute, even with a hint of murderous intent.

 Once upon a time, I was a handsome scholar.

 Now, he is a hard-blooded man.

"Uncle Rong..." Lu Zhengyue had just called Uncle Rong when he saw the two people behind Rong Che.

Lu Chaochao hid behind Wen Ning, revealing his little head.

 The smile on Lu Zhengyue's face slowly faltered.

"Lu Chaochao! Wen... Miss Wen, why are you here? No, get out quickly!" Lu Zhengyue's expression changed drastically.

 Even considering the severity of the plague, how could he dare to put his fiancée and sister in danger?

“Lu Chaochao! Do you want to be beaten? Get out of here quickly!”

 “Wen Ning, let’s go!” Lu Zhengyue couldn’t help but panic.

 He can be in danger, but not the people he cares about!

"I won't leave! Now that we have entered the city gate, there is no reason to leave. You and I have already made an engagement. Wherever you are, I should be!" Wen Ning once had a dream, in which Lu Zhengyue died without a complete body. .

She woke up from her dream with tears streaming down her face and decided to rush to the deserted city.

 “Sister Wen won’t leave, and I won’t leave either.”

“Are you relieved that Chaochao will return to Beijing alone?”

"There are wolves, tigers, leopards and bandits on the road. What if Chaochao is kidnapped?" Lu Chaochao looked scared.

 Lu Zhengyue? ? ?

 Do you remember blowing up Bandit Mountain?

"That's all. It's not appropriate to open the city gate at this moment. Come back tomorrow!" Lu Zhengyue glared at her.

The people stared at the city gate every day, but now he did not dare to open the city gate without authorization.

 The people were already fearful, and he had been trying his best to stabilize them during this period.

Lu Zhengyue lost a lot of weight, but his whole person became more mature and steady.

"There is a lack of supplies at the border, and it is already difficult for the people to get sick. We have divided some of the supplies from the general's office and sent them out. We can only wrong everyone..." Lu Zhengyue did not expect that everyone would come. Now it is difficult for a clever woman to make a living without rice.

 Can only barely make some home-cooked dishes.

 Lu Chaochao looked at his second brother sheepishly.

 She took out the packages behind her: "Salted fish, spicy pig's trotters, dried beef and deer antlers..." and took them out one by one.

 Her package seemed to be a bottomless pit.

 A table full of people was laid out.

 Lu Zhengyue…

 As expected of being my sister! (End of chapter)
