Empress: Your Majesty, please respect yourself, I don't want to be promoted

Chapter 295 Could it be that.

"Uh-huh."

"my stomach."

"Cough cough cough"

"it hurts."

"help me"

As soon as they entered the prevention and control area temporarily planned by the government, Lu Chen and the others heard a series of painful wails, each sound hoarse.

Hearing these voices, Lu Chen's expression became more solemn.

Without saying a word, he just walked towards the entrance without any hesitation.

Jiang Chengwan took a deep breath and secretly activated the spiritual power in his body. At the same time, he raised his little hand, grasped the Jidao sword on his waist, and silently activated the protective technique.

Although possessing the power of the Holy Spirit makes one immune to all kinds of harm, and the plague aura is theoretically ineffective against her and the Holy King, after all, they are the most evil spirits that have devoured countless lives in the long history, and the horror of the blood plague has been passed down from generation to generation. She It is inevitable that a trace of fear will arise instinctively.

Jiang Chengdao's expression remained as usual.

As a Holy King, he often had to face extremely terrifying ancient evil spirits, many of which had all kinds of strange and powerful evil spirits. Although the blood plague was terrifying, it was not to the point where he felt troublesome.

Although he did not have a perfect solution to the blood plague, the blood plague did not threaten him.

Guarding the door were six Xuanji Guards Baihu. Lu Chen looked familiar and had an impression. He must have been his guard before and had met several times.

Before the Xuanji Guards expanded, almost every member had served as Lu Chen's bodyguard, either explicitly or covertly. Not to mention that they were extremely familiar with Lu Chen, and Lu Chen was already used to their existence.

As soon as they saw Lu Chen and the others approaching, the six Xuanji Guards immediately bowed and saluted.

"This is a humble post, Your Majesty."

"See the Holy King."

"I've met Mr. Lu."

Lu Chen nodded, and then asked first: "Are all the people infected with the blood epidemic inside?"

The leader of the Xuanji Guard Baihu responded with his hands raised: "Master Hui Lu, this is the gathering place for people who are found to be suspected of having blood plague after daily inspections throughout the city. After they are confirmed to be infected with the blood plague, we will Send him to the epidemic treatment point in the west of the city."

Hearing this, Lu Chen thought for a moment, then a look of understanding appeared on his face.

This time the court was quite humane.

If we had followed past practice, there would have been no screening procedure at all. When faced with a terrible spiritual disaster like blood plague, officials with a little conscience would have screened all people suffering from blood plague, regardless of whether there were misdiagnosed patients among them. , all gathered in one place, given some food every day, and allowed to fend for themselves.

The way most officials deal with it is to block it wherever there is a blood epidemic. Not a grain of rice is allowed in, not a fly is allowed to fly out, and anyone who dares to move without permission will be killed. Who.

After all the people there have been tortured to death by the blood plague, and then activate the anti-epidemic array to purify the inside, the blood plague will naturally be under control.

What's more, they will even beat them to death with a stick, directly slaughtering all the people in the affected area, and directly eliminate the blood epidemic with extremely efficient means.

In comparison, Xiao Yun's arrangement can be called a bodhisattva's move for those people who are not actually infected with the blood epidemic.

You must know that he has never seen Xiao Yun since the incident in Xingping County. This measure was completely Xiao Yun's own idea, and she was able to think of this and put it into action, which shows that she also puts the people first. In my heart.

"Your Majesty, let's go in."

"Um."

Jiang Chengwan responded, and then walked in side by side with Lu Chen.

Under the guidance of a Xuanji Guard, the three of them quickly walked into the temporarily arranged camp.

But I saw that there were marching tents everywhere. Each tent had a heavily armed guard with a heavy mask waiting with a halberd. In the tents, there were ten separate areas separated by partitions for placement. common people.

Every citizen is isolated individually.

The place where they are placed has a small window that can only be opened from the outside for placing food.

There are several magic circles arranged around the tent to block and detect the epidemic aura. Once the detection magic circles are activated, the people inside will be sent to the blood epidemic disposal point.

Along the way, you can see many tightly wrapped sergeants busy everywhere. Just seeing this scene is enough to make people feel at ease.

At least, the government is doing its job and is not lazy or negligent.

Lu Chen nodded repeatedly.

I have to say that Sister Xiao Yu's arrangements are still in place, and she is worthy of being one of the few capable ministers in Sheng He Dynasty.

At this moment, Lu Chen suddenly noticed that a tent not far away suddenly flashed red light, and then, seven areas of the tent sounded piercing whistles at the same time.

"There's an epidemic coming out! Quick, go over and take a look!"

"Be prepared to drive in a closed vehicle and move at any time."

"Here!"

Just as the whistle was about to sound, a group of sergeants quickly walked towards the tent.

The leader was a young man, who was running and issuing instructions quickly.

When they looked anxiously past Lu Chen and others, they didn't even look at them. It seemed that the only tent in their eyes at this time was the one where the disease was detected.

Soon, they rushed into the tent.

After them, many sergeants rushed over from the other side. Many of them were wearing medicine boxes and dressed as military doctors.

They also didn't notice Lu Chen and others, but walked into the tent anxiously.

Without hesitation.

Even in the face of the threat of blood plague.

"They are the soldiers and horses of Qingning Guard."

Jiang Chengwan reminded.

"That is the original Yuzhou Guard. The leader just now must be Zhang Shiping's son Zhang Yu."

Hearing this, Lu Chen's mind immediately thought of the young man he had met several times in Yuzhou.

He has a good memory and quickly recalled information about Changyu.

"It's him."

Last year, after the Qingning Army wiped out the Yu Jiuyuan rebels who were raging in three provinces, the Suizhou Guards and Yuzhou Guards were promoted due to their merits and were transferred to the capital by the empress' order to form the Qingning Guards. Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping were both granted the title of Bo, and Zhang Yu and other guards were The backbone of the army was also promoted exceptionally, and some even directly took charge of the military affairs of the First Guard.

The empress obviously liked the soldiers and horses trained by Lu Chen and wanted to promote them, so many officers of the original Yuzhou Guard and Suizhou Guard were reused.

Lu Chen is in the center, so he naturally knows these things.

While speaking, there was a sudden quarrel in the tent.

"no, do not want"

"I don't want to go to West City."

"Master Jun, please let me go home. I promise not to run around."

The increasingly serious agitation was mixed with some sounds of pleading.

Lu Chen and Jiang Chengwan looked at each other, and then Lu Chen said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, I'll go over and see what's going on."

With that said, he took steps and prepared to rush over.

Jiang Chengwan did not stop him, but followed closely, but her little hand holding the hilt of the Jidao Sword became tighter.

The Holy King looked at his sister's back following Lu Chen, with an inexplicable expression of thought beneath her thick visor.

He didn't know if it was an illusion, but he always felt that his sister's reaction was a bit abnormal when facing Lu Chen.

If it is simply a matter of attaching great importance to the faithful minister, this attitude of not distinguishing between monarch and minister seems a bit too much.

No matter how much you trust your ministers, you should not ignore the difference between the emperor and his ministers.

The king is the king, and the ministers are ministers. As a king, you should maintain your dignity no matter what, and make your ministers feel awe.

Such a simple king's way can be understood by oneself even if one has not learned the art of emperor's mind. What's more, my sister is extremely smart. At a young age, she can bear the humiliation and make a comeback under the nose of the Empress Dowager Zhao who is well versed in power.

How could such a wise and decisive king not even understand the most basic ways of governing his subordinates?

Inexplicably, an incredible idea quietly emerged in his mind.

"Could it be that"

But as soon as this thought arose, he suppressed it.

"No, it's impossible. Wan'er can't violate the ancestral system of the ancestral temple, and Lu Chen is so important to Daxia now. No one in the court can live without Lu Chen."

He quickly rejected this idea, but after ruling out this answer that seemed to him the most impossible, the doubts in his heart deepened.
