After breaking off the engagement, the daughter-in-law of the Hou family drove the boss in the capit

In Jiulin City, the sky was extremely gloomy.

Every guard was neatly dressed. They wore thick veils, had gloves on their hands, and held weapons to seal off Jiulin City.

On a high ground outside Jiulin City, several luxurious tents have been stationed.

One of them is the tent of Prince Yang Shi'an. It turned out that the prince was sent by Emperor Dongshan to control the plague. However, the prince was very afraid of the plague and was afraid that he would be infected by the plague accidentally, so he never entered the city and hid in the tent all day long.

At the same time, there was another figure in Jiulin City who was busy.

I saw Chen Jingchi covering his mouth and nose like every guard. He stood on the city wall and looked at the lifeless people below, feeling depressed and uncomfortable in his heart.

After Chen Jingchi came to Jiulin City with the prince, the first thing he did was to blockade Jiulin City to prevent the spread of the plague.

Most of the people in Jiulin City have died, and what you can see are the corpses that have not had time to be burned and buried. The corpses on both sides of the road include the elderly, children, and women.

From time to time, you can hear the helpless wailing of the people. It is not an exaggeration to say that this place is a hell on earth.

The prince has never even set foot in Jiulin City, leaving everything to Chen Jingchi. It sounds nice to say that he trusts Chen Jingchi, but who doesn't know that the prince is just greedy for life and afraid of death.

Chen Jingchi did not refuse. He entered Jiulin City on the first day and asked the guards to move the corpses together to burn them. He also asked the accompanying doctors to start boiling medicinal materials to disinfect Jiulin City.

However, the plague is still spreading, people are still dying every day, and even some doctors have been infected and fallen down.

"General!" Huo Dao stood behind Chen Jingchi, with only one pair of eyes exposed, and his voice was filled with sorrow, "A guard was infected today!"

After listening to Huo Dao's words, Chen Jingchi turned around with helpless eyes.

"How many people?" Chen Jingchi asked.

Chen Jingchi knew that since they were here, it was very likely that they would be infected, but Chen Jingchi did not expect it to happen so quickly.

"Ten people!" Huo Dao said, with unbearable expression on his face.

"Place these ten people together. If the rest find that they have the plague, they must report it immediately!" Chen Jingchi ordered.

"My subordinates understand, but general, the people's hearts are already unstable. Shouldn't the prince step forward to cheer up the people's hearts at this time?" Huo Dao said angrily.

Not to mention Huo Dao, none of the guards had any complaints. They were risking infection here to control the plague, but the prince was hiding far away, which made him feel better.

"How can you and I criticize the prince's affairs?" Chen Jingchi's face turned cold, and his eyes became even tighter.

Chen Jingchi naturally knew that the prince was greedy for life and afraid of death, but they were ministers and they should naturally do what ministers should do.

"General, you are always so understanding of righteousness!" Huo Dao said with a downcast face, with excitement in his tone, "But the medicinal materials distributed to the people now are simply wrong, and there is no trace of the medicinal materials and food given to the people. , now the people already want to rush out!"

"The food is almost out? Didn't the prince send someone to deliver it?" Chen Jingchi clenched his fists, his face was a little ugly and dark.

From the first day they arrived in Jiulin City, the doctors discovered that the medicinal materials were wrong. Originally, in order to control the plague, the imperial court should have distributed the best medicinal materials, but they discovered it only when they arrived in Jiulin City. The boxes of medicinal materials were simply the most common and cheapest medicinal materials and were useless against the plague.

At that time, Chen Jingchi reported the matter to Prince Ming, who also stated that he would investigate it thoroughly. He even promised that the court would mobilize another batch of medicinal materials as soon as possible. But it's been three days now, and there's still no movement.

"No! All the people drank this morning were porridge!" Huo Dao said truthfully. "I'm going to find the prince!" Chen Jingchi said, striding down from the tower.

When coming out of Jiulin City, Chen Jingchi disinfected everything inside and outside. After riding for several miles, he finally saw the prince's tent.

But before he got close to the prince's camp, he was stopped by the prince's personal guards.

"General Chen, what's important?" Jin Zhong stood very far away from the prince and asked Chen Jingchi in a high voice.

Ying Ting frowned, Chen Jingchi suppressed the irritability in his heart and said, "This general has something important to report to His Highness Ming!"

Jin Zhong glanced at Chen Jingchi, thought for a while and said with a smile, "General, wait a moment!" With that, he walked towards the camp.

Jin Zhong opened the curtain of the tent. Chen Jingchi had excellent eyesight and could see what was inside the tent at just one glance.

The tent was covered with thick colorful blankets, and a low table inside was filled with delicacies. This was nothing. What made Chen Jingchi clenched his fists the most was that Yang Shi'an was not only drinking, but there was also a man sitting on his lap. A beautiful concubine.

Chen Jingchi's eyes were dark and deep, and there were turbulent waves in his eyes, but the moment the prince walked out of the camp, he regained his composure.

In Jiulin City behind him, people were dying every day. The doctors stayed up all night to treat the plague. The guards stood there at the risk of being infected, but the prince was enjoying himself here.

At this moment, Chen Jingchi only felt chilled.

Prince Yang Shi'an still smelled of alcohol, and when the wind blew it, it instantly poured into Chen Jingchi's breath.

"General Chen, is it important?" Yang Shi'an stood outside the camp, looking at Chen Jingchi with a little hidden disgust in his eyes, as if he was afraid that he would be infected.

"The city needs medicinal materials for disinfection and life-saving. His Highness promised me that the medicinal materials will be delivered to the city as soon as possible!" Chen Jingchi clasped his fists and saluted, no longer wanting to greet the prince.

Upon hearing this, Yang Shi'an remembered this.

But those words at that time were just Yang Shi'an's perfunctory words to deal with Chen Jingchi. He never expected Chen Jingchi to be so stubborn. Yang Shi'an knew very well why the medicinal ingredients were wrong. It was just because he needed money, so he asked Wu Anhou to change the things.

"The medicinal materials are already on their way. General Chen, don't be anxious!" Yang Shi'an said casually.

"I wonder how many more days will it take?" Chen Jingchi asked. He could wait, but the people couldn't wait any longer.

"Three days, three days at the latest!" Yang Shi'an said, his eyes already a little impatient. After all, there is no warmth and comfort outside the tent.

"Your Highness, there is insufficient food in the city. Your Highness, do you have a way to deal with it?" Chen Jingchi said coolly.

Upon hearing this, Yang Shi'an's eyes were a little unnatural, and he turned to Jin Zhong and ordered, "Go and deliver the food! Does General Chen have anything else to do?"

"No! I retire!" Chen Jingchi said, turning around in a stride, as if he didn't want to talk to the prince for a second.

After Yang Shi'an saw Chen Jingchi leaving, he quickly ordered, "Quick! Disinfect this place quickly and clean up the floor!"

The guards quickly lowered their heads and started cleaning the place where Chen Jingchi had just stayed, but Yang Shi'an lifted the curtain and continued to be affectionate with a beautiful concubine in his arms.
