"General, His Highness lets you pass!"

As soon as Chen Jingchi walked out of the plague concentration camp, he saw Huo Dao striding towards him. When Chen Jingchi heard this, his expression suddenly became energetic and he walked quickly out of the city.

Along the way, you can see the guards standing guard, but if you look closely, these guards seem to be a little mentally weak, not only these guards, but also Chen Jingchi.

There was a shortage of food in the city. Not only did the people only have one meal of rice porridge a day, but the same was true for the guards, even Chen Jingchi.

We are all tall and strong men. Naturally, we can't hold on even if we only eat so much food a day.

Chen Jingchi rode to the camp on horseback. He was stopped at a distance outside the camp as usual, but Chen Jingchi didn't care. He looked at the camp with an anxious expression.

Chen Jingchi thought that because the prince asked him to come over, the medicine and food must have arrived, and the people in the city would be saved.

After waiting for a long time, Jin Zhong slowly opened the tent curtain.

With just one glance, Chen Jingchi's eyes became terrifyingly deep. The soldiers and people in the city relied on rice porridge to survive, but in the prince's tent, the whole table was filled with delicacies of fish and meat.

At this moment, Chen Jingchi couldn't explain how he felt, disappointed and angry.

Prince Yang Shi'an walked out of the tent slowly. He was wearing a blue cloud-colored robe with silver edges, and a valuable white jade around his waist. He had a gentle smile on his face that was incompatible with Jiulin City.

"General Chen, you've worked hard these days!" Yang Shi'an looked at Chen Jingchi a few meters away and spoke with appreciation and comfort.

But at this time, Chen Jingchi couldn't listen to this. He clasped his fists and asked, "Your Highness asked me to come over, but have the medicinal materials and food arrived?"

When Yang Shi'an heard this, his eyes flashed.

"General Chen came here for the sake of Jiulin City!" Yang Shi'an said, wanting to take a step closer, but then he remembered that Chen Jingchi had just come out of Jiulin City, so he stopped and said warmly, "Gu already knows that Jiulin City The city is now plagued by plague, not only the doctors are infected, but even the guards are unfortunately infected! In this situation, Jiulin City cannot continue to protect it!"

As soon as these words came out, Chen Jingchi felt that all the blood in his body seemed to have solidified. He almost thought that he had heard wrongly and couldn't help but ask, "What did Your Highness mean?"

"The plague is rampant, so as to prevent more people from being infected, I am going to burn the city down!" Yang Shi'an said lightly, as if this was an extremely safe way.

Chen Jingchi's fists clenched involuntarily, and he almost squeezed out words through his teeth: "Are there any uninfected people in the city? Where are the guards? And where are the doctors?"

Although many people in the city are infected, there are also people who are fine. Those officials who came to Jiulin City were all summoned by the imperial court, and those guards, who care about their careers, don't they care about it?

"The families of these people will be resettled by the Orphan Association!" Yang Shi'an said.

But Chen Jingchi felt shuddered when he heard these words. These people were still alive and could be saved, but as the prince of the royal family, he was the first to give up on them.

"General Chen will evacuate the guards from Jiulin, bring out the uninfected doctors, and seal the city gate. I have prepared diesel!" Yang Shi'an ordered.

From Yang Shi'an's words, we can see that he had planned this for a long time and even prepared the diesel oil early, but the medicinal materials and food were still missing.

"Excuse me, I cannot obey my order!" Chen Jingchi shook his head. This was the first time he said no to the imperial power.

He is a general who protects his family and country. He fights on the battlefield to protect the people. But now the prince of this country wants to attack the defenseless people. He cannot agree with it.

"General Chen, are you going to disobey Gu's order?" Yang Shi'an narrowed his eyes slightly, with an expression of displeasure and oppression. "The plague in the city is controllable. The people and so many innocent people are still alive. I can't just burn them to death!" Chen Jingchi said, turning and leaving before the prince could speak.

"Bastard!" Yang Shi'an looked at Chen Jingchi's back and suddenly cursed.

Yang Shi'an asked Chen Jingchi to accompany him when he came to control the plague this time because of Chen Jingchi's ability and Chen Jingchi's loyalty. But Yang Shi'an didn't expect that a person he thought was so loyal would say no to his orders. This was simply disobedience.

"Your Highness? This General Chen is so audacious, he doesn't even obey your orders!" Jin Zhong fanned the flames, making Yang Shi'an even more angry.

"Chen Jingchi really thinks he has military power? My father has long been dissatisfied with him!" Yang Shi'an sneered, and the gentle look on his face turned a bit ferocious.

"According to Gu's order, seal the city!" Yang Shi'an ordered.

Jin Zhong lowered his head and responded, but asked with some worry, "But General Chen and so many guards are still in the city, right?"

You must know that Chen Jingchi is not an ordinary person. He is a great general of a country with great military achievements. He has made great military achievements over the years and has extraordinary influence in the military.

Yang Shi'an's eyes flashed with a hint of sinisterness, and his tone even contained a hint of laughter, "General Chen and a group of guards unfortunately contracted the plague and died. I believe that my father will not blame Gu if he knows the news!"

"Your Highness, you are more thoughtful!" Jin Zhong flattered him and quickly ordered.

After Chen Jingchi returned to Jiulin City, he felt a surge of anger burning in his chest, but that person happened to be the prince. If it were anyone else, Chen Jingchi would really chop that person down.

As soon as Chen Jingchi returned to Jiulin City, the prince's soldiers blocked Jiulin City.

"General, the prince is really going to burn everyone here!" Huo Dao stood on the city wall, holding the weapon tightly in his hand. He only needed Chen Jingchi's order to go out and fight to the death.

Chen Jingchi looked at the firewood set up outside the city wall, and his anger was followed by sadness.

In fact, there is no need to burn them to death. If this continues, the people and guards in the city will either die of the plague or starve to death.

Chen Jingchi's palms loosened and tightened, tightened and loosened again, and he kept struggling.

He knew that if he led people to fight with the prince's personal guards, then no matter what, he would be charged with being a treasonous traitor.

But Chen Jingchi would not be willing to wait here, waiting to die in vain.

After all, he would rather die on the battlefield, under the sword of the enemy, than die in such a useless way.

The people in the city seemed to have heard about it. The people stood in the city, howling and crying outside, but the guards guarding the outside were indifferent.

When it was dark, Prince Yang Shi'an arrived late. He held a torch in his hand and shouted to Chen Jingchi on the tower, "General Chen, I will give you one last chance. Are you willing to obey my orders?"

Yang Shi'an's answer came from Chen Jingchi's sonorous and powerful voice: "My general's power exists with the people!"
