After all, Yin Shou's message in Nuwa Palace was leaked by someone, and the whole world was in an uproar.
It's okay in Chaoge. Emperor Xin's prestige is very high, so the people don't say much. However, other princes from all over the country have written letters of condemnation, including Xibohou and Beibohou. What's wrong with the kings in this era? The princes can The first to receive criticism.
"Hmph, it's a borrowed time. It's a borrowed time."
Yin Shou looked at the pile of memorials on his desk and couldn't help but curse.
Although he made psychological preparations immediately after the incident, when the incident unfolded, he still felt a little unhappy and became even more resentful towards the person who had harmed him.
"Your Majesty, although we know that you were wrongly accused, it is impossible for others to believe this matter, and they are unwilling to believe it." Wen Zhong sighed.
"Ji Chang is a sanctimonious person. I didn't expect that he would be one step ahead of others when he added insult to injury, huh." Shang Rong couldn't help cursing.
"This matter must be explained to the world, otherwise I'm afraid those people will go further." Bigan said solemnly.
"Explain, what explanation do you want? Wouldn't that confirm the matter?" Yin Shou frowned.
"Yes, I can't explain it, Your Majesty, you should remain unchanged to cope with all changes." At this time, Kong Xuan stood up and said.
Kong Xuan also did not attend the court meeting for a long time. He had a special status, and Yin Shou and the officials gave him great freedom.
Yin Shou looked at Kong Xuan and understood that this was what Li Daoyi meant. He immediately felt relieved and nodded, feeling his anger subside a little.
"Retreat from the court. I burned all these things. They look annoying." After Yin Shou finished speaking, he stood up and left the throne.
Kong Xuan looked at Yin Shou's leaving figure and nodded secretly. In fact, most of Yin Shou's performance just now was for others to see. There were many princes' informants in the court.
Sure enough, Emperor Xin's disregard for the princes' memorials spread quickly, and rumors began to spread that Yin Shou was a foolish emperor. Although the people of the Tianlong Legion immediately caught those who spread the rumors, these people were all dead soldiers, and they were not at all They were not given a chance to interrogate, but instead made others feel that Yin Shou abused lynching.
"Ahem..."
I don’t know when it started, people in Chaoge City were coughing one after another, and soon someone died. Without exception, the people who died were coughing, and then died of shortness of breath and heart failure in just a few days. The number increased, and finally attention was paid, and people understood that the most terrible thing had happened, the plague.
Most of the people who died were elderly people, but the whole Chaoge had begun to panic, and there were even rumors that the same disease had occurred in other vassal states. The plague was not exclusive to Chaoge.
After Yin Shou learned about it, he immediately sent out the imperial doctors from the palace, including some Taoists, but soon everyone was at their wits' end. The plague came suddenly, and the medicine prescribed by the imperial doctors was only a delay. After taking a look at the disease, people still die every day.
Soon, people discovered that the epidemic had appeared among livestock. Many animals died of the disease inexplicably, and their bodies were extremely smelly.
Just when Yin Shou was in dire straits, Zhutian Tower took action. Zhutian Tower, which had been closed to guests for several years, began to distribute elixirs to everyone under the arrangement of Dongfang Bubai and Xiao Longnu. People all over the city flocked to Zhutian Tower. , after all, everyone knows that this is the immortal’s restaurant.
"Everyone line up, don't crowd, there are many elixirs, no need to fight for them." A beautiful woman in a green shirt shouted to the chaotic crowd, her voice was soft and sweet, as if it had some kind of magic power, and the people were very excited. The obedient ones lined up to receive the medicine.
"Sister Daji's words still work." The little girl Niuniu on the side couldn't help but praise. She was also sweating and handing out medicine bottles to everyone.
In addition to Dongfang Bubai and Xiao Longnu, Guanyin, Su Daji, Niu Niu, Yin Jiao, Nezha, Jin Zha, and Muzha also came to help.
Above the Zhutian Tower, Li Daoyi watched this scene calmly.
At this moment, a figure appeared in Zhutian Tower, and the person who came was none other than Kong Xuan.
Li Daoyi didn't look back, still looking out the window.
"came back?"
"Well, this guy thought he was hiding so well. Well, I haven't found him yet. He's really useless. He can't even take a single move." Kong Xuan said arrogantly.
Li Daoyi turned around and saw Kong Xuan holding a short, ugly corpse in his hand.
"Is this the plague ghost?" Li Daoyi asked.
"Well, that's this guy, but he seems to be controlled by someone. He didn't even know how to run away when he saw me. And I just made a random move without killing him. It was the person who controlled him." Kong Xuan nodded. road.
"Well, that's for sure, no one else will be left alive." Li Dao nodded.
"Amitabha, hey..." Wutian on the side couldn't help but sigh.
"You can say whatever you want." Li Daoyi looked at Wutian and said.
"The poor monk has nothing to say. I just want to meet those people for a while in person." Wu Tian clasped his hands together and said, but a ferocious and terrifying shadow gradually formed behind him, like a fierce god, it was the Buddha's Wrath Vajra Statue.
"Don't worry, there will be a chance." Li Daoyi reassured.
"Huh?" At this moment, Li Daoyi sensed something and looked out the window again, his eyes falling outside the city gate in the distance.
"Interesting, this guy finally showed up." Li Daoyi raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
Chaoge City, outside the East City Gate, as word spread about the elixir being distributed by the Zhutian Tower, more and more people poured into the city. This was also the case at the West City Gate. At this time, the East City Gate was already filled with long queues. , among this vast team, an old man dressed in simple clothes and wearing a bamboo hat was also standing in the team, but compared with the others, this old man looked a little different. After all, the others were more or less sick. Although he looked miserable, he looked very energetic.
"Ahem, old man, you are quite tough. Is this your first time coming to Chaoge?"
At this moment, a middle-aged man in front of the old man turned his head and said. The middle-aged man coughed from time to time. Since his body was still strong, he didn't seem to be suffering that much.
"Ah, yes, I lived on the mountain before, and this is my first time going down the mountain." The old man said.
"It turns out he's a hermit. I'm sorry." The middle-aged man was a little surprised.
"I'm Li Baoguo, just call me Lao Li." The middle-aged man said cheerfully.
"Easy to say, easy to say. My surname is Jiang and my first name is Ziya." The old man is Jiang Ziya.
"Brother Li, are you also infected with the plague?" Jiang Ziya asked.
"Ahem, yes, I live in the outer city, and other people in my family have fallen ill. Hey, I'm in good health and can hold on. No, medicine is distributed in the city. I came early in the morning, but I didn't expect that I would still be in line. So long." Li Baoguo said helplessly.
Jiang Ziya nodded when he heard this, then looked at Xizhou, and when he saw that no one was paying attention to the two of them, he asked in a low voice.
"Brother Li, I heard that this is a plague sent from heaven by King Wu Dao?"
Li Dingguo was stunned when he heard this, and then his face became slightly angry. He looked at Jiang Ziya in surprise, and finally suppressed his anger and said.
"Brother Jiang, I think you are a foreigner, and I am not angry with you. Don't mention this again in the future. We have seen the king's character, not to mention what he really is, even if it is true, Why does God send plagues to us mortals for no reason? What's wrong with the people? I think this God is truly unrighteous."
After Lao Li finished speaking, he turned around and ignored Jiang Ziya.
Jiang Ziya had a dull look on his face, repeating Li Dingguo's words just now in his mind.
"Yes, how could the people deserve it..." Jiang Ziya thought to himself.
Then he patted his chest gently, and his chest was slightly bulging, as if there was something important inside.
When noon passed, Jiang Ziya was able to enter the city. Looking at the bustling city, Jiang Ziya was amazed. Xi Xi hadn't come back for more than ten years, and Chaoge had changed so much that he could no longer recognize it. It was really a time of change.
The emergence of the plague did not reduce the liveliness of Chaoge. On the contrary, the distribution of the elixir made the whole city lively. From time to time, people around Jiang Ziya heard the ecstatic laughter, all of which were those who recovered after taking the medicine.
"Is it true that the true immortal is here to save people?" Jian Shao was a little surprised.
At this time, Jiang Ziya looked up and looked in the direction where everyone was going. A towering tall building came into view, which was Zhutian Tower. Jiang Ziya hesitated for a moment and did not go that way. Instead, he found a nearby restaurant and walked in.
Jiang Ziya was tired all the way, so he asked for some side dishes from the store, and started eating with a bottle of wine. It seemed that everyone went to ask for medicine today, and Jiang Ziya was the only one in the whole restaurant who was deserted.
While eating, he recalled what Yuanshi Tianzun said to him before going down the mountain.
"Assist the Ming Master, assist the Ming Master, Master, why don't you speak clearly? Who is the Ming Master? You said that the Great Shang Dynasty has been exhausted, but from what I have seen, it seems to be different from what you said." Jiang Ziya I thought to myself.
The reason why he chose to come to Chaoge as soon as he came down from the mountain was because he was somewhat angry in his heart. The Antarctic Immortal who sent him down the mountain once told him that his road was to the west. If he went west, he would meet Ming Ming. Lord, after going down the mountain, Jiang Ziya walked eastward by mistake and chose to come to Chaoge. He still had some resentment in his heart. He planned to see for himself whether the current Dashang was really as exhausted as they said.
Jiang Ziya took a few bites and then put down his chopsticks.
"Why..."
Jiang Ziya touched something on his chest. Inside was the sealed Gods List, which Yuanshi Tianzun handed to him personally, but he didn't tell him how to use it. He just said that he would know when the time came.
Just when Jiang Ziya was thinking wildly, a small hand suddenly appeared in front of him, and that small hand was grabbing the roast chicken on the table.
"Uh..." Jiang Ziya was stunned for a moment and turned to look.
I saw a three-year-old girl with a beautiful face appearing beside her table at some point, tiptoeing to grab the roasted chicken.
"Hey."
The little girl is just adorable.
I saw her tearing off a chicken leg, stuffing it into her mouth and eating it.
Jiang Ziya stared blankly at the cute little girl in front of him, and was so shocked that he couldn't speak for a moment.
