Chapter 198 "If the number of patients does not decrease in the future... I will be the sacrifi
"That's because he's standing in a high position! If there is something higher than him that can attract lightning, he won't be struck by lightning!"
Then Lin Zheng dismounted from his horse and slid to his knees.
"Miss!"
Qianying stepped forward.
Took three iron spears.
Fly onto the stage.
He connected the three two-meter-long spears end to end and turned around to return them.
The heel of the iron spear smashed the stone platform with a bang.
Inserted into the corner of the altar.
Thunder was heard rolling.
He took two steps back.
He tilted his head and looked at the person being hung in Taichung...
Ling Zizhong vaguely heard Xie Qinghuan's voice.
He struggled, trembling, and pried open his eyelids with great difficulty.
Squinting my blurry eyes, I searched for her...
This girl...
How come...
I heard her arguing loudly.
He curled his lips imperceptibly.
Heart Road:
This girl is still so disobedient...
I saw lightning and thunder disappearing in the clouds.
There was a rumble of thunder.
He closed his eyes in despair.
Thinking about...
Actually, it’s nothing.
Although being burned to death is scary in person...
But he always comes back.
It's just a change of body!
only……
If that were the case, she would probably cry a lot.
He just doesn't want this...
That's why he refused to acknowledge her.
Now, is this day really coming?
Goodbye, I hope she won’t be too sad…
however……
"Crack!"
There was another earth-shaking sound.
But the familiar numbness and burning pain did not come.
He frowned and opened his eyes hesitantly.
My ears were buzzing.
He turned his head with difficulty, looking for the source of the sound.
Then I saw...
Qinghuan actually made a simple lightning rod!
He breathed a sigh of relief.
Subconsciously, I looked at her tearful eyes.
Look at each other for a moment.
He knew that she had strong worries and fears in her heart, which made him...
I feel guilty and distressed.
Xie Qinghuan murmured, "Master..."
He turned his head and looked at the crowd.
"See! Do you believe it now?
He is just an ordinary person who traveled thousands of miles from Kyoto to help with the epidemic!
He is innocent!"
The people whispered to each other.
It seems to be distinguishing true from false.
The two priests looked at each other.
He spoke again.
“But His Majesty the Third Prince has been here for more than half a month, and the medicine that worked in Kyoto has lost its effect in Hanyang!
Isn't this offending the God of Plague? We must offer sacrifices!"
"Yes! We must offer sacrifices! Fellow villagers, please believe us...
As long as the sacrifice is completed, the plague will be eliminated! ! "
The people, who had just been a little shaken, were incited to shout loudly again -
“Sacrifice! Sacrifice!! Sacrifice!!!”
Xie Qinghuan saw that the situation was not good.
She lifted her skirt and strode up to the altar.
"Everyone be quiet! We don't mean to stop you from performing the sacrifice!!!"
Hear this.
The priest raised his hand.
The people all quieted down.
Chu Hanxiao looked at her worriedly.
He clenched his fists secretly.
Xie Qinghuan glanced at him and told him to be at ease.
Take a deep breath and speak in a serious tone:
"Two priests! How about we make a bet?"
The excessive excitement caused her thin shoulders to tremble slightly.
The voice is also trembling.
"Your Highness, as a witness, I am willing to issue a military order within ten days:
If the epidemic in Hanyang is not under control after ten days, and the number of patients does not decrease...
I will be the sacrifice! How about it? "
"Qing Huan!"
Upon hearing this, Chu Hanxiao anxiously took half a step forward.
He was stopped by her soothing eyes.
He could understand that her determined eyes were saying...she could do it!
He had no choice but to stop and frown.
The two priests looked at each other and nodded in unison.
"Okay, we accept."
Chu Hanxiao chuckled.
Looking back at them:
"Okay... Since you accept the bet, I will not pursue your crime of gathering a crowd and will keep you for ten days!
However! If Miss Xie wins, the number of patients with the disease will decrease in ten days...
This prince wants the two of you to be the living sacrifices yourself!! "
"This……"
Seeing that the two of them hesitated.
Their faithful followers began to incite the people.
"Why? You can't touch the messenger of God, you will be punished by God!"
The people were inspired by them and protested in unison:
"Yes! We cannot offend the envoy of God..."
"Don't touch the High Priest!"
Luo Changfeng calculated the time and winked at Lin Zheng.
Lin Zheng nodded.
He led a team of soldiers forward and pushed the restless people back two steps.
Seeing that the mob was resisting, pushing and shoving, and about to start a dispute.
The stones on the ground are rolling.
Luo Changfeng knows——
Reinforcements have arrived!
really!
"The imperial edict has arrived!"
Luo Sanqian led his troops and galloped over.
Holding the imperial edict in one hand, Chu Hanxiao rushed to Hanyang.
Chu Hanxiao glanced at him.
Kneel down and listen to the order:
"Fengtian Chengyun Emperor, the imperial edict said:
I have heard that epidemics have been rampant recently and the people are suffering. I am very worried.
Considering that the people are the foundation of the country, we should lend a helping hand and save them from danger.
Today, I specially dispatch the Third Prince Chu Yanjing, and order him to immediately receive my orders and rush to Hanyang with medicines and necessary supplies.
We must do our best to comfort the people, provide medicine for treatment, investigate the source of the epidemic, and formulate prevention and control measures.
Local officials and people must cooperate and must not be negligent in the slightest!
Anyone who neglects his duties or interferes with the anti-epidemic efforts will be severely punished and executed on the spot!
I hope that my son will live up to my trust, save the people, and ensure the safety and well-being of our country.
"I admire this"
"Long live my emperor! Long live!"
Luo Sanqian respectfully presented the imperial edict to Chu Hanxiao.
The prefect and the associate prefect, who came with him, leaned forward.
"Your Highness, the imperial edict clearly states that 'those who interfere with the fight against the epidemic will be executed on the spot'!
All you need to do is give the order, and the 3,000 Hanyang city defense soldiers will execute you!"
When the people heard this, they saw that the army had arrived.
Immediately fell silent.
I dare not say another word.
Chu Hanxiao glanced at the people who were shrinking their necks like quails.
Didn't say anything.
Luo Sanqian bowed.
"Your Highness, there are a few more people you must see."
Chu Hanxiao believed in Luo Sanqian.
He nodded.
Then more than a dozen patients who had recovered from their high fever came forward, supporting each other.
Among them was a middle-aged man whom Xie Qinghuan had personally treated.
Some relatives and friends who recognized them couldn't help but scream out loud, their eyes red.
"Brother! Aren't you sick? When did you get better?"
"Sixth Brother's wife! Are you well again? Sixth Brother, look at your wife!"
"I saw it, Fifth Brother, why are you so excited about my wife?"
"Aren't I... excited for you?"
Those people glanced at the dark crowd surrounded by officers and soldiers.
They all knelt at Chu Hanxiao's feet.
Thanks:
"Thank you, Third Prince and Miss Xie, for saving my life!"
"Thank you, Your Highness, for condescending to come to Hanyang to provide disaster relief..."
This scene caused everyone to fall silent.
"This can really be cured..."
"Yeah, could it be that the Lord of Plague has calmed down?"
"What are you trying to vent? The sacrifice has been interrupted, it's better to be angry!"
While they were discussing, there was another loud thunder.
It struck directly on the simple lightning rod made of an iron spear!
No one dared to talk nonsense about ghosts and gods anymore.
They all fell silent.
Seeing that something was not right, the two priests turned around and tried to run, but were held down by Luo Changfeng.
Chu Hanxiao gave the order.
"Take good care of them. In ten days, sacrifice them to the gods!"
"Yes!!"
