Datang: Ten Years of Proton, Leading an Army of Millions to Return

There was a slight commotion on Suzaku Street.

However, the people on Suzaku Street have become more or less accustomed to this situation.

Those who were very experienced had already dodged before they even saw anyone coming.

Some vendors were standing in the middle of the road. Some had no time to dodge and habitually dropped the things in their hands and moved away.

First save your life, and the subsequent losses will generally be compensated by the government.

Otherwise, if you are hit hard by the warhorse, you will be half dead if not killed!
"What's going on? An urgent report from Jiangnan Road? Hisss... What happened over there?"

Many people looked at the backs of the guards with confused eyes.

At the same time, he was even more flustered, and was eager to know what urgent matter had happened in Jiangnan Road!
Jiangnan Road!
This name has now not only spread throughout Chang'an, but it can be said that it has completely spread throughout the entire Tang Dynasty!
Smallpox is rampant in Jiangnan Road!
The people of Chang'an were already in a panic, but this time, many of them were frightened even more.

"I don't know. In Jiangnan Road, in which part of Jiangnan Road, the biggest problem right now is smallpox. Could it be that smallpox has begun to spread? There won't be any in Chang'an, will there?"

"It's only a matter of time. The weather is getting warmer, but the smallpox in Jiangnan Road has not shown any signs of improvement. Moreover, didn't this group of people say that they were General Li Jing's personal guards? Huh! I guess, I don't think something has happened to General Li Jing! Otherwise, how could it be possible that the personal guards came to Chang'an to deliver the news?"

"What you said makes sense. Before, it was the scouts or the people at the post stations who delivered the news. It seems that we have never seen such a large number of people coming together as the personal guards. Could it be that something really happened to General Li?"

"No way! General Li, General Li is the military god of our Tang Dynasty. He has fought bravely and won every battle in his life. What could possibly happen to General Li?"

"Gudong! Although what you said is true, General Li has never seen smallpox before. Why do I suddenly have a guess, that is, General Li in Jiangnan Road has also been infected with smallpox? Otherwise, how could General Li's personal guards be so anxious?"

"Fuck! Don't talk nonsense. General Li also contracted smallpox? This... No, no, it can't be!"

"Oh my God, why do I feel that way when you mention it? Otherwise, this scene cannot be explained. These people are General Li's personal guards. They usually follow General Li around. Even if they were sent to pass on the order, they would never let so many people come together."

"Oh my God, if this is true, Jiangnan Road is really out of control. I'm afraid Jiangnan Road is really going to be finished. Lord Fang just went to Jiangnan Road not long ago, and now General Li has been infected with smallpox. Is this... is this smallpox really going to deal a heavy blow to our Tang Dynasty?"

"It's over, it's over. If even General Li gets infected, who else can we let go? If so, won't Jiangnan Road be in chaos? By then, the whole world will probably be in turmoil. Folks, think of a way and run for your lives!"

"Escape? Where can you escape to?"

"Dayan!! Now, the only safe place is Dayan. General Li is in great danger. The guards are so anxious. They can't say that General Li is dead!"

"It's possible. It's very possible!"

"No way? No way! No! No! No! How is this possible? General Li is dead? I really can't accept it! Oh my God, oh my God!"

"Don't guess, don't guess, just wait, wait for the news from the court. Such a big thing can't be concealed, not even the court can. Hiss! Why do I suddenly feel so cold?"

"..."

The people of Chang'an are a little crazy.

The speculation about Li Jing's death spread at an alarming speed.

However, the people of Chang'an also knew that this was just speculation. However, Li Jing's personal guards were so anxious to enter the city, it must be that something big had happened. No, it was definitely a big thing!

Can General Li still hold on?
The people were somewhat panicked.

There is no way. Li Jing's name is known to everyone, and he is regarded as a military god by the people. He is a general who has never lost.

Before, no matter what the matter was, as long as Li Jing was sent out, the matter could be said to be safe.

But now, the invincible god of war is about to fall before the ceiling.

……

Imperial City!

Ganlu Palace!
Li Shimin sat at the top, and Zhangsun Wuji, Wei Zheng, Xiao Yu, Pei Ji and others were all there.

The atmosphere was also somewhat solemn.

Since the outbreak of the smallpox, there has been no moment of relaxation in the court or the imperial city.

Whether it was a court session or a small meeting, the atmosphere was extremely solemn.

"Your Majesty, the latest medicinal herbs collected in Chang'an have been shipped to Jiangnan."

"I'm afraid that the delivery of this batch of medicinal materials will allow Jiangnan Road to survive for a while longer."

"And this batch of herbs will definitely greatly ease the pressure on Jiangnan Road! As for medicinal materials, we have no shortage of them!"

"Now, considering the time, Xuanling should have arrived at Hongdu Prefecture. With Xuanling and the pharmacist mediating, and our strong support behind the scenes, this smallpox disaster will definitely pass!"

"Victory will eventually belong to our Tang Dynasty!"

Wei Zheng bowed and said in a deep voice.

His voice broke the dead silence of Ganlu Temple.

This also made Pei Ji, Changsun Wuji and others feel relieved, otherwise, the previous atmosphere would have been really suffocating.

Li Shimin nodded.

He looked at Wei Zheng: "That's good, that's good!"

"Medicinal herbs are what the people over there need most. If we can provide them here, it will really solve the worries of Jiangnan Dao."

"I haven't heard good news for a long time."

"I hope everything will be as Lord Wei said."

"There hasn't been any letter from Xuanling yet. I hope his letter will bring good news."

"Our time is running out."

As he spoke, Li Shimin raised his head and glanced outside.

The laziness and coldness of winter have gradually disappeared, almost dispelled by the sun hanging in the sky outside.

Spring is coming.

If smallpox cannot be eradicated before the spring plowing season, then the entire Tang Dynasty will not be able to grow even a grain of food. By then, disasters more terrible than smallpox will follow.

Although last year, many people felt a surplus for the first time because of the reform, but after a whole year of deficits, plus another winter, can the people survive?
difficult!
难!
difficult!
Now, we can only hope that Fang Xuanling can quickly end the smallpox disaster.

As for the smallpox vaccine, to be honest, Li Shimin, he is not even considering it now.

If the Tang Dynasty wanted to use this thing, the price it would have to pay would be something he could neither accept nor imagine.

However, while Li Shimin was thinking about it, Pei Ji, Wei Zheng and others had not reacted yet.

Outside, Li Junxian rushed in with a knife.

"Protect His Majesty! Protect the gentlemen!"

Li Junxian roared.

His expression was solemn, his eyes fixed on the group of cavalrymen rushing in frantically. Things happened too quickly, and he didn't even know where these people came from. They had already arrived in front of Ganlu Palace. Naturally, Li Junxian could only protect Li Shimin and others first in a hurry.

hula….
The surrounding Jinwu Guards all rushed to the front of Li Shimin and others.

Li Shimin, Zhangsun Wuji, Wei Zheng, Pei Ji and others had no idea what was going on.

"What's going on?" Li Shimin was shocked.

The first reaction in his mind was whether the people were rebelling because of smallpox?
"We want to see your majesty, your majesty, your majesty, we want to see your majesty!"

"We are the personal guards of General Li Jing. We have trespassed into the imperial city due to an emergency. Your Majesty, please forgive us. However, time is of the essence. Your Majesty, please do not allow us to delay."

All the royal guards dismounted from their horses and looked at the Jinwu Guards gathered in front of the Ganlu Palace gate, the shining long swords, and the shining armors. They knelt down at the steps of the Ganlu Palace.

"Pharmacist?" Wei Zheng was shocked.

"Pharmacist? What happened to the pharmacist?"

"Get out of the way, get out of the way."

When Li Shimin heard the name, he immediately realized that it was a misunderstanding.

Li Jing's personal guard!

Trespassing into the imperial city!

This...how big a thing had to have happened to allow this group of soldiers to break into the imperial city?

"What's going on! What on earth is going on!!"

Li Shimin pushed Li Junxian and others away, rushed out the door quickly, looked at the people below the stairs, and roared.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty, we finally see you, Your Majesty!"

"General Li, General Li has been infected with smallpox and is on the verge of death. Your Majesty, please lend a hand and save General Li, Your Majesty!"

"Otherwise, General Li really can't hold on!"

The moment they saw Li Shimin, someone roared out with a voice that seemed to be torn to pieces and bleed, and the sound was deafening.

As soon as these words were spoken, the Ganlu Palace, inside and outside, exploded completely!

No one could have imagined that this news would be spread like this.

Although Li Shimin had a bad feeling after hearing the other party's identity, he could never have imagined that Li Jing would bring such bad news at this time.

Actually, smallpox is an extremely dangerous and risky issue. Even if Li Jing were to take action, there would still be concerns about this.
After all, Li Jing is not a god. He does not have an iron wall or the ability to live forever.

However, Li Shimin had never thought of this possibility.

Including Zhangsun Wuji, Pei Ji, Wei Zheng and others, they had never thought of this possibility!

What Li Shimin and his men had thought before was actually very simple and naive, that is, Li Jing had never let them down!
there has never been!

In the past, no matter what the matter was, as long as Li Jing took action, as long as this military god of the Tang Dynasty took action, there was nothing that could not be solved!
Ever victorious!

Thousands of troops and horses are not touched at all!
Li Jing is synonymous with victory, so at that time they really did not consider the possibility that Li Jing would be infected with smallpox.

They were still the same as usual, feeling that as long as Li Jing was there, this matter could definitely be under control!

In addition, due to the cold weather these days, the information transmission from Chang'an to Jiangnan Road was not very timely. They did not receive much news about Jiangnan Road. Therefore, they all felt that Jiangnan Road should be almost pacified.

But now, they...
These words completely, utterly, and totally shattered the hope in their hearts.

What greeted them was a stream of solid ice that seemed to have just been mined from an iceberg, which then poured directly over their heads, freezing them all cold, their souls trembling, and leaving them numb!

Li Shimin was stunned, completely stunned.

like a statue.

Only his lips were trembling madly.

"You...are all of what you said true?"

"If you talk nonsense about such a big thing, you will be beheaded!"

Beside him, Wei Zheng took a deep breath, took two steps forward, stared at the group of guards at the bottom of the stairs, and shouted in a hoarse voice.

How he wished these words were just a joke, just a dream!

How much he wanted to hear the other party speak and say that these words were nonsense. In fact, General Li had been ordered to solve the smallpox problem and once again ushered in a resounding victory!

"Yes!"

"This matter is of great importance!"

"If it's untrue, you'll be cut into pieces! At this critical moment, if you shake the morale of the army, you should understand the consequences!"

Changsun Wuji also shouted immediately.

Although Pei Ji, Xiao Yu and others did not speak, their eyes fell on everyone as if they could draw blood.

"Your Majesty, Lord Changsun, Lord Wei, it's true, it's all true!"

"I have followed General Li through thick and thin. I have made great contributions to your majesty and the Tang Dynasty. How could I possibly say such nonsense? I absolutely do not speak nonsense about such things!"

"These are all true, these are all true, Your Majesty!!"

The man screamed in shock, fell heavily to the ground, and his breathing exploded.

"Yes, Your Majesty, what we said is absolutely true!"

"Your Majesty, please think of a way to save General Li!"

"When we...when we came, General Li was already extremely weak, but, even so, General Li still didn't take time to rest, and was still adjusting and handling various matters in Tanzhou Prefecture day and night."

"Your Majesty, we are really worried!"

"The situation in Tanzhou Prefecture is now extremely... extremely tragic. There are almost no civilians, and there is almost no normal life for the people. It can be said that every household has a white flag hanging."

"Your Majesty, please, Your Majesty, if you don't treat General Li, I'm afraid General Li will not be able to survive."

"Your Majesty, please, save Your Majesty!"

"..."

Everyone begged, they really had no other options.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have rushed thousands of miles to break into the imperial city!
