Starting from the imperial palace guards, his clones spread all over the world

Outside Taiyang City, people infected with the plague from other counties were everywhere.

Because the soldiers at the city gate were blocking the way, people were only allowed to exit and not enter, causing a large number of sick people from other counties to gather here.

Some of the sick had even been there for days, sitting in the open space outside the city, burning firewood and cooking.

And more sick people were still coming along the road.

These sick people from other counties formed a long line on the road, stretching endlessly, as if the line could reach the horizon.

"Cough, cough, cough…"

Violent coughing echoed among the sick.

Besides that, there was only the crying of children and the groans of the elderly in pain.

Some of the sick hadn't even reached the city gate before collapsing on the ground, never to get up again.

The air was filled with the foul stench of pus and blood flowing from the pustules on the sick people's bodies, making people want to vomit.

There were too many sick people coming.

So many that it had exceeded the limit that Taiyang City could bear.

Therefore, the soldiers would only let a batch of sick people enter every so often.

This also led to a large number of sick people blocking the city gate, begging the soldiers:

"Officer, please let me into the city! My mother is dying, she can only be saved if she gets into the city!"

"I have silver, please let my family enter in the next batch! If we drink the talisman water, my whole family will be saved!"

"I traveled two hundred miles to get here, I want to enter the city! I want to join the Taiping Dao! I want to drink the talisman water!"

Heads crowded together, shoulder to shoulder.

Being able to enter the city seemed to have become the hope for these people from other counties to survive.

In the distant wilderness, the corpses of some sick people from other counties were randomly thrown together.

Some wild dogs and a large flock of crows were cawing and fighting over the corpses.

Lu Tianxing widened his eyes.

Such a sight made his scalp tingle.

He really didn't expect that this plague had infected so many people.

He couldn't imagine, if the Great Virtuous Teacher hadn't appeared, where would so many desperate patients find hope?

Taiyang County had the Great Virtuous Teacher, and everything was recovering.

But what about the other counties?

Just looking at these people from other counties who had traveled thousands of miles, one could know the suffering they had encountered.

Was he really wrong?

Perhaps…

"Excuse me, are you two from Taiyang City?"

An old woman, carrying an infant on her back and leaning on a cane, staggered to Lu Tianxing and Xu Gui.

"Please, can you two bring out some talisman water?"

"I'm old, it doesn't matter if I die. But my little grandson is only one and a half years old, I only ask to save him. He's so young, he shouldn't die like this."

"I'll kowtow to you both!"

The old woman said, and was about to kneel down tremblingly.

Lu Tianxing and Xu Gui quickly helped the old woman up.

They glanced at the infant in the swaddling clothes on the old woman's back, and saw that the infant's face was already blue, so weak that he didn't even have the strength to cry, leaving only a faint breath.

If he wasn't treated in time, this infant probably wouldn't live long.

Xu Gui sighed:

"Old woman, we are also powerless."

"We have offended the Taiping Dao, we can't ask for talisman water at all."

"Especially now that the city only allows people to exit and not enter, even we ourselves can't go back."

The old woman heard this, covered her face and cried in despair.

She was as thin as a twig, her silver hair dancing wildly in the wind.

Lu Tianxing looked up at the sky.

The sky was gloomy, a heavy rain was coming.

Now, so many sick people outside the city didn't even have a place to shelter from the rain, especially those weak elderly and young children. After being drenched in a heavy rain, who knew how many people would die tomorrow.

Perhaps the old woman and her grandson in front of him would become two corpses tomorrow.

Lu Tianxing suddenly felt an extraordinary grief in his chest.

He suddenly laughed loudly, and then cried again.

His appearance of laughing and crying attracted the attention of the surrounding people.

"I was wrong!"

"Hahahaha… I was really wrong!!!"

His appearance was like madness.

The people of the world only wanted to be able to live well.

Whoever could let them live, should be loved by all people, should be blessed by heaven!

If the yamen didn't let this kind of person live, didn't let these people live, then the yamen was the one rebelling.

He only understood such a simple truth at this time.

He had always thought that his daughter was stupid.

But his daughter was convinced that what she was doing was helping the world and saving people, so she continued to do it as always.

On the contrary, he himself was hesitant and timid.

After receiving favors, he was worried about causing trouble and chose to betray.

He himself was the most despicable one!

Lu Tianxing's head buzzed, and he felt his whole body surging with hot blood.

He stretched out his hand and took the infant from the old woman's back:

"Old woman, please trust me."

"I, Lu Tianxing, will definitely save your grandson!"

The old woman didn't have time to be grateful.

Lu Tianxing ran towards the city gate with the infant in his arms.

He rushed into the crowded crowd, holding the infant and constantly squeezing inward.

When he squeezed to the soldiers, sharp antlers blocked his way.

"Let me in!"

"This child is in critical condition, he won't live long!"

Lu Tianxing shouted.

However, the soldiers raised their hands and shouted:

"There are many people who want to enter the city to save their lives, they must enter in batches according to order!"

"First, people from our Taiyang County must be treated, and then it will be the turn of people from other counties."

Lu Tianxing was stunned.

In the beginning, he was the same as these soldiers.

When he first met the Great Virtuous Teacher and invited him into Lu Family Village, he also deliberately arranged for the people of Lu Family Village to receive treatment first, and then it was the turn of other outsiders.

Everyone has selfishness.

But Lu Tianxing now understood more and more how much loss his excessive selfishness had caused.

If he hadn't betrayed the Taiping Dao, then it would have been easy to save an infant with his influence in the Taiping Dao.

But now, he was blocked outside the city gate and couldn't enter.

Lu Tianxing said anxiously:

"Officer, I can understand your duties."

"But I only ask to save this one infant, please do me a favor."

"Look at this child, if he is not treated in time, I am afraid he will die young!"

The soldiers still guarded the city gate firmly, adhering to their duties.

They raised the spears in their hands, deterring anyone who dared to break in.

Seeing that it was impossible to persuade the soldiers, Lu Tianxing took a deep breath sadly.

"If it is because of my mistake that the Great Virtuous Teacher's treatment of patients is delayed, resulting in many deaths."

"Then I, Lu Tianxing, am willing to use my own life today to save this infant's life!"

Lu Tianxing knew that he had harmed the Great Virtuous Teacher and put him in prison, causing many patients to not receive treatment for many days.

If Lu Tianxing hadn't done this in the first place, then perhaps the Great Virtuous Teacher would have already treated these patients from other counties.

The infant in his hand would not have faced premature death.

And even more lives were dying because of the delay in treatment.

Thinking of this, Lu Tianxing became more and more regretful.

Immediately, Lu Tianxing concentrated and solemnly said:

"Everyone, officers! I am going to break through the city gate!"

"You are in charge of your duties, if you want to kill me, I have no complaints."

"I only ask that after my death, you can take this child to the Taiping Dao for treatment!"

Saying that, Lu Tianxing held the infant and walked towards the soldiers' spears.

At this time, Xu Gui squeezed into the crowd, anxiously saying:

"Village Chief Lu, why sacrifice your life for a stranger?"

But Lu Tianxing was determined to go.

He couldn't bear the mistakes he had made, he couldn't face so many patients.

He had failed everyone's hopes and harmed too many people.

At this time, he only wanted to save even one child through his own ability, so that he could die in peace.

His appearance of generously going to death finally moved the surrounding people.

Several men and women with long swords said loudly:

"Brother is righteous!"

"We, the Scarlet Fire Sword Sect of Qingzhou Prefecture, are willing to help Brother and send Brother and this child into the city!"

Immediately, these men and women drew out their long swords one after another and pointed them at the soldiers:

"We martial artists have been practicing martial arts for more than ten years, just to help the weak today!"

"Get out of the way!"

They were moved by Lu Tianxing's actions to save the infant, and they couldn't care about being hostile to the soldiers.

When the soldiers heard that even martial arts sects were involved, they couldn't help but panic.

Lu Tianxing was greatly surprised.

He knew very well that he was not noble, but only trying to atone for his sins.

However, things were beyond his control. After these martial artists jumped out, more and more people followed suit and wanted to rush into the city.

The soldiers were frightened and gripped their spears tightly.

Seeing that a conflict was about to break out!

Suddenly—

A yellow flag fluttered over.

A group of people wearing yellow turbans marched in formation under the flag.

Leading them was a red-clothed girl, also wearing a yellow turban, riding a tall horse, majestic and awe-inspiring.

"It's someone from the Taiping Dao!"

A burst of shouts immediately erupted from the crowd.

"People from the Taiping Dao are here, we are saved!"

"That's the Divine Envoy! It's actually the Divine Envoy in person!"

"Please, Divine Envoy, bestow talisman water and save us!"
