At first, there were only about a dozen people who wanted to rush out. They waved their hands, bared their fangs, and ran towards the crowded place.
This scene frightened the archers' expressions.
"This is not a plague at all, but they have been poisoned and controlled. People coming out of the capital may seem healthy on the surface, but in fact they have been poisoned for a long time. It is not certain when the poison will appear. In order to protect more people
If you want your people not to be harmed, you must not be merciful!"
Zhao Huaiyu was afraid that these people would be merciful, so he reminded him over and over again, taking the bow and arrow in his hand to shoot at those who stepped out of the bottom line first.
Bang!
One after another people fell.
But soon it was strange that these people were able to stand up very quickly even though they were hit by arrows, and continued to walk forward even faster than before.
Upon seeing this, Zhao Huaiyu quickly called for people to attack with fire. A large amount of kerosene was poured on the ground and ignited a raging fire. As expected, these people kept retreating when they saw it.
So the arrow was stained with fire and shot at the opponent. In an instant, the opponent was burned by the fire and was completely destroyed.
"Brother Yu, help me." The second lady was frightened by this scene. She didn't want to die yet. She stood in front of the fire and asked Zhao Huaiyu for help.
Zhao Huaiyu ignored it as if he was in shock.
Soon the second lady's expression also changed, and her eyes turned red. When Zhao Huaiyu saw this, he shot the second lady in the head with an arrow.
After a whole night, no one in the capital was able to break out. Chu Xuanzhi had given an order. If anyone's defense was breached, they would be held accountable!
So no one dared to slack off easily, and three teams of people took turns guarding, ready to be called at any time.
Chu Xuanzhi wore white armor and sat in the carriage. He stayed awake all night, his heart was bloodshot, and he stood guard outside Yangcheng. He looked at the corpses of countless people not far away, feeling extremely heartbroken.
"emperor."
Jiang Yunxu's voice came from behind. She came over carrying a food box, which contained the tonic soup she had made.
.
Seeing her coming, Chu Xuanzhi's eyebrows relaxed a lot, and he smiled bitterly: "We are fighting outside, but we don't know that the inside of Lingyi is already devastated. It's really hateful!"
"You can't blame anyone for this." Jiang Yunxu looked at his tired eyes and comforted him with a few words: "The emperor also made a helpless choice."
Chu Xuanzhi pursed his lips and said nothing.
"The emperor still needs to support this battle. For the sake of Ling Yi, the emperor needs to take care of himself." Under Jiang Yunxu's persuasion, Chu Xuangzhi had a meal.
At noon, numerous memorials came, begging the emperor to treat the people of the capital well.
Chu Xuanzhi was furious when he saw it: "Go and summon the person who presented the report immediately to Yangcheng! It doesn't hurt your back to stand and talk one by one!"
When dozens of civil and military officials arrived and saw the scene in front of them, some were stunned and some kept silent, but there were still many stubborn people who said: "Your Majesty, these are the people of Lingyi.
There are hundreds of thousands of people, can we just ignore them and let them die?"
Many of these common people were relatives of the officials, and they had more or less connections. There were even branches in the capital, so they were anxious.
"Your Majesty, this must not be done." The imperial censor knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Chu Xuazhi: "Disregarding the lives of hundreds of thousands of people will be punished by God."
But some people have already reacted: "Master Xu, don't talk nonsense here. The entire capital has been polluted. Once we relax, the people of Quanlingyi will be harmed. Isn't this a small gain for a small gain?"
"There will always be a way. Besides, isn't the Queen a superb medical practitioner? She will definitely think of a way." Xu Yushi stubbornly refused to get up.
Jiang Yunxu didn't hesitate and pointed at Xu Yushi: "Since Xu Yushi trusts me so much, I don't want to waste your trust by sending Xu Yushi to the capital. As long as Xu Yushi can hold on for ten years."
