Chapter 156 The Side of the Bed
Their group of 10,000 new soldiers was dispersed and sent to four disaster-stricken cities. The third princess was only divided with the three of them, and then arrived at Fengxuan City.
By the time they arrived, the water in Fengxuan City had receded, but the city was in a mess. Houses collapsed, people and livestock were drowned or smashed to death, clothes and furniture were scattered everywhere, and there were floods on the roads. The yellow mud they brought didn't even have a dry place to stand.
It was also the first time for the Third Princess to face a natural disaster. Seeing the people hugging each other and crying bitterly, and the people who had no time to bury them and were still dying, she had a nightmare for the first time. Before she could recover, tasks came one after another. .
The thousand of them were divided into two teams, one team cleaned up the garbage, and the other team rescued the people, temporarily settling them in a safe place, and then gathered the bodies, burned and buried them.
The Third Princess and the three female soldiers were assigned to clean up the garbage. They were exposed to either dead bodies or rotting poultry every day. There was always a rotten smell lingering under their noses, and their appetites were reduced.
After half of the city was cleared, the government officials began to mobilize the people to dig out all the edible things from the ruins, and then began to clear the remaining half of the city bit by bit.
During this period, a common man did not bury the poultry as ordered, but instead cooked and ate the meat privately. As a result, the family of seven began to suffer from vomiting and diarrhea. Within three days, everyone in the family collapsed and died, and he himself was also dying. One line.
The female official of the government office was very smart and immediately asked the medical officer to hang him for life. After he regained consciousness, he asked the reason, and found out that it was rotten poultry that caused the trouble. Since he would do this, other people would probably do it too. There are people who do this.
In the eyes of the people, as long as the rotten parts are cut off, the remaining meat can still be eaten. What's more, they can't eat dirt before the relief food arrives!
Immediately, the plague broke out in Fengxuan City. Not only the people, but also the soldiers did not escape the disaster. Fortunately, there were imperial doctors and doctors stationed in the city. They immediately arranged manpower to treat those who were in physical condition and People without symptoms were separated, and then they boiled the symptomatic medicine and began to smoke the medicine all over the city.
Because the Third Princess paid close attention to protection, she was among the second batch to be infected, and her illness was not the most severe. Moreover, because of her special status, it can be said that she used the best medicine in the city, so she was able to survive until now.
"The Third Princess had a high fever before, but it has subsided now. She is just a little confused. She sleeps and wakes up. When she wakes up, we feed her rice porridge and soup. The situation has improved."
"Okay, thank you for your help. You must have not had a good rest recently. Go get some food first, and then get a prepared medicine bag to make soup and drink. You must also take care of your health. The Third Princess needs you."
When Xian Shijun learned that his daughter had passed the most dangerous period, he was only half relieved and immediately asked the three of them to rest.
The three guards did not refuse. They did not leave before because they had no one they trusted. Now that Xian Shijun is here, he will definitely take good care of his daughters. At least they can retire with success.
Xian Shijun stayed in the tent to take care of the third princess. It was not until the sun set that the third princess woke up. She opened her eyes with difficulty and saw her father. She felt as if she was dreaming.
Xian Shijun also noticed that his daughter was awake, and immediately held Fang's hand, covered his forehead with his other hand, and whispered:
"But it's better? Still feel uncomfortable somewhere? Do you want to drink some water?"
"Father, am I dreaming? Why are you here?"
"Knowing that something happened to you, the Queen is very worried about you and directly asked me to bring people and medicinal materials to Fengxuan City to find you."
"I thought you didn't want me anymore."
The third princess cried in despair, which made Xian Shijun laugh, and then he said seriously:
"Now do you know the dangers outside? If it weren't for the guards secretly arranged by your mother, do you think you would still be alive until now?"
Xian Shijun tapped the third princess's forehead, scolding her with some hatred.
"I know! I will never do such stupid things again. Only when I left the capital this time did I realize how difficult it is for the people."
On the day Xian Shijun entered Fengxuan City, the generals of the Zhao family learned about this matter, and the general of the Zhao family had a gloomy face. She felt that someone must have set a trap for them secretly, and the third princess was just a It's just a raft to trick them.
"General, look now"
"Send a message to the Second Princess in the capital and tell her about the situation here so that she can be mentally prepared. In addition, send an imperial doctor with high medical skills to Fengxuan City to ensure that the Third Princess does not make any mistakes!
The Third Princess is the Queen's favorite daughter. If something happens to her in the team we lead, the Queen will not let us go lightly, and may even implicate the Second Princess. "
"Yes, my subordinate will do it now."
Panlong Kingdom
The sixth prince, who had succeeded to the throne for half a year, had some thoughts when he learned that there was a flood in Fengqi Kingdom. The five lost cities were a thorn in his heart. He felt aggrieved when he thought about it. He had no money to fight the war before. Now that there is a flood in Fengqi Country, he feels that the time has come for them to take action.
In the morning of the next day, he couldn't wait to share the news with the civil and military ministers of the dynasty.
Zhang Zhang was the most discerning and immediately stepped forward and said:
"Your Majesty is wise, this is our best chance to get back those five cities! I think we don't need to go head-to-head this time, and we can take advantage of the floods in Fengqi Kingdom to make a fuss."
"Conquering the enemy without fighting is the best policy!"
Immediately a military attache jumped out.
The white-haired old man from Hube also stood up and said:
"Your Majesty, generally there will be a major epidemic after a major disaster. Medicinal materials and food are the most scarce items. We can use these to earn money from Fengqi Kingdom and expand the national treasury."
"What Aiqing said makes sense, is there any other way?"
The new emperor continued to ask.
"There are still our people among the five cities occupied by Fengqi Kingdom. One of the cities has been affected by a flood. We can let them incite the people and conflict with the soldiers defending the city. Then we can cooperate from the inside and outside to capture the city first. "
"If there is a plague infection in the city, the risk we take is too high."
Immediately some military generals were unwilling. These civil servants talked up and down, and it was their soldiers who charged into the battle. They were not willing to let their men die.
"Just kill those who are infected with the plague. Those women are unwilling to succumb to us. Do they still want us to raise them?"
A pedantic powerful official said.
"Well, what Aiqing said makes sense. We still need to plan carefully and do it slowly and step by step."
The new emperor narrowed his eyes and said.
On the other side, the second princess also received a letter from General Zhao. She learned that the third princess was infected with the plague and was trapped in Fengxuan City. I went to see the Queen Mother.
