Zhao Zhaowu leaned forward slightly, but there was no hint of timidity in his eyes.
"Back to the emperor, I have already reorganized the army. I'm just waiting for the capable people from the Imperial Hospital to accompany me to Shanxi."
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone in the Tai Hospital in the hall dropped their heads. This epidemic was so dangerous that they couldn't come up with any plan at all.
The epidemic threatens the imperial city and the throne is in danger. The emperor's heart has long been uneasy, and now he is even more violent.
"Hmph, listen to what these losers are doing. I order you to go to Shanxi and kill all the people infected with the epidemic. Burn them all and leave no one behind!"
The majestic voice resounded throughout the Tai Chi Hall, and no one dared to make a sound.
Time was urgent, so Zhao Zhaowu immediately changed his armor and ordered his troops in the camp.
Su Xiao also learned the news, packed up her packages, changed into a man's clothes, and chased to the camp.
The atmosphere in the military field was tense, everyone was excited and crowded, and everyone was packing their bags urgently. Su Xiao endured the dust and passed through the crowds, and finally found the prince's war horse.
He stepped forward and stood straight in front of the horse.
Zhao Zhaowu was also startled by the sudden figure, "Why are you here?"
The sharp eyes swept across Lidya Su's body inch by inch, with a hint of worry that he had never noticed.
"Zhao Zhaowu, I remember I told you that I am going to Shanxi, you take me there!"
Su Xiao was full of determination. She was once a special soldier and fought for her family and country. Now, she absolutely cannot abandon her people and enjoy her own stability.
It was rare that Zhao Zhaowu actually had some hesitation.
The little girl in front of her was very thin. She had lost her red makeup, and the literati clothes around her made her body look even more slender, which was shocking to see.
"You, you are a woman, you should stay in the capital honestly. Such a chaotic and dirty place is not the place you should go."
Zhao Zhaowu tilted his head to hide his guilty conscience.
The person in front of him went back on his words, the situation was urgent, and Su Xiao was so angry that the person in front of him was so angry.
He raised his eyebrows and raised his eyes fiercely, "Your Highness, you must keep your word as a man. Once you make a promise, it is hard to keep it. How can you go back on your word? If you don't take me there, I will find a carriage by myself and I will definitely follow you."
Go."
Zhao Zhaowu curled his lips helplessly, he really understood the tenacity of the little girl in front of him.
With a wave of his big cloak, the vaulting horse took the little girl in front of him into his arms, carried her onto the war horse, and then jumped aboard himself.
"What, what are you doing?" Su Xiao was startled by his sudden action.
The broad and powerful palms were tightly tied around her waist, and Su Xiao felt her heart skip a beat.
Zhao Zhaowu held the person in his arms tightly, and suddenly leaned over and leaned against her ear.
Warm breath blew against his ears, causing bursts of itching.
"Since you want to follow me, just sit still and don't scream in fear for a while!"
After saying this, Zhao Zhaowu kicked the horse's belly violently, and the horse galloped away instantly.
The grass and trees beside her receded quickly, and Su Xiao felt that only the sound of wind was left in her ears.
"How is it? Is riding a horse different from what you imagined?"
Zhao Zhaowu held the reins in his hands, and his eyes were full of perseverance and strength. He was completely different from the elegant and delicate look he had in the East Palace.
"It's indeed a bit novel, but it's nothing more than that."
"Talking hard! Fight!"
The war horse was galloping at an extremely fast speed, but Su Xiao did it extremely steadily.
Due to the urgency of the situation, troops were dispatched quickly, and it took only three days to finally reach Shanxi.
It wasn't until they stepped in that everyone realized how serious the situation was.
The fields were cracked, barren of grass, and dry. There was not even a single wild animal in sight, not to mention people.
"The severe drought in Shanxi has clearly ended in the spring of this year. Why are the fields still so barren and it is still difficult for people to cultivate?"
Su Xiao has been a special forces soldier for many years and has gone on numerous missions, but has never seen such a shocking sight.
Zhao Zhaowu also felt a heavy heart, "In the past two years, the weather was dry and the plague broke out. There were not many people left in Shanxi City. Now, although the long drought has brought relief, it is still a drop in the bucket. What's more, everyone has
It’s already so diseased that it’s even harder to cultivate the land.”
Su Xiao's face was tense, and her heart suddenly jumped.
Behind him, Zhao Zhaowu felt something interesting. He had never seen the posture of a little daughter like Su Xiao. For a moment, he hugged her even tighter and raised an evil smile on his lips.
"What? Did it scare you? It doesn't matter. If you are scared, just tell me and I will protect you."
Afraid? Haha! It’s just a joke! Su Xiao glared at him speechlessly.
"I didn't expect that His Highness the Crown Prince would be such a boring person. He would still have romantic interests in mind when facing a disaster."
"Humph, you have such an unforgiving mouth." This little kitten never let go of his airs.
"Okay, let's go quickly, the people in the city are still waiting for us."
When the army marched into Shanxi City, it was so devastated that it was shocking.
There was desolation everywhere, with people's bodies in tatters and collapsed on the ground. The smell of decay and the sound of wailing filled the entire city.
Su Xiao's eyes flashed, and she turned over and dismounted. Zhao Zhaowu wanted to stop her, but she broke away.
His eyes quickly scanned the people on the ground for a moment, then Su Xiao suddenly turned around and raised his hand.
"This place is already in a plague situation. From what I can see now, its disease is extremely contagious. Brothers, you should cover your mouth and nose with a veil to avoid being infected."
Behind him, the soldiers remained stationed, and no one took action.
"Okay, listen to her and cover your mouth and nose."
Only then did all the soldiers take action.
Su Xiao also took off her veil and covered her mouth and nose. She slowly stepped forward and carefully checked the situation of these people.
There were obvious ulcers and bruises on the wound, accompanied by a faint stench. She couldn't even tell what the disease was.
"Have you ever seen this disease?"
Beside him, Zhao Zhaowu had already followed.
"It has not happened, and it is not recorded in medical books."
Su Xiao couldn't help but frowned. This disease was so severe that the author must have made it up in the novel. How could it be recorded in a serious medical book? This damned author would really find something to do for himself!
"Is it possible to cure them?"
Lidya Su looked at the wound carefully, not sure for a moment.
"Hey, you don't have to save me. I, I know that I am already terminally ill. Just let me wait here to die in peace!"
The old man was lying on the ground, his body half rotten, flies flying everywhere, and exuding a stench.
"Old man, why are you all on the street? Where are your families? Do they care about you?"
