Chapter 637: Disaster 5
Zheng Xian returned to the room and said to Meng Li:
"The prince is insane, and he came to ask me if there is anything special going on in the General's Mansion."
Meng Li pondered for a moment and said:
"The General's Mansion isn't special enough."
Zheng Xian looked at Meng Li:
"How?"
Meng Li smiled:
"Three women, two taskers, and one reborn."
Zheng Xian nodded:
"That's true."
Meng Li returned the Spirit Gathering Ball to Zheng Xian and said:
"I'm going back."
Zheng Xian said:
"Alright, let's go see the man again tonight."
Meng Li snorted and took Zheng Xian to see the man at night.
But they were dead, the corpses smelled foul, and the number of people outside the city gate was getting more and more sick, and some people kept shouting and begging at the officers and soldiers guarding the gate, hoping that they would open the city gate.
There was nothing to eat outside the city gates, and there were those who starved to death.
Meng Li saw that there were burn marks on the ground, probably because the officers and soldiers defending the city directly fired rockets and burned some corpses.
Zheng Xian sighed deeply when he saw this scene, and followed Meng Li back to the general's mansion.
Another day later, when I greeted the general's wife, the general's wife said:
"Wait a minute, let's go to the street to kneel down to greet the Heavenly Master, and today the Heavenly Master will go to the city gate to visit the people who are suffering from the epidemic."
Zheng Xian had a question mark on his face and asked:
"Mother, what Heavenly Master?"
With piety on her face, the general's wife said:
"The Heavenly Master is here to save the world, according to the Heavenly Master, this is the responsibility of God to mankind, we have too many sins, as long as each of us sincerely repents, the Heavenly Master can help save the world."
Zheng Xian: ?
What the heck?
She glanced at Meng Li, who was silently on the side, Meng Li was a concubine here, so it was naturally not good to ask the housewife about the west.
Meng Li was also wondering where this Heavenly Master came from.
Zheng Xian could only continue:
"Mother means that the Heavenly Master can cure epidemics?"
The general's wife nodded, looked at Meng Li and Wen Chuxue, and said:
"Go all of them, be pious, the Heavenly Master will definitely be able to see our sincerity."
"And this is also ordered by the emperor, so that everyone in the capital must seek a glimmer of life for the people outside the city, saying that it is for them, but in fact, it is also for us, and now the sick people outside the city have rioted, and they all rely on soldiers to violently suppress it, but ......"
There is always a day when it cannot be suppressed.
Zheng Xian sighed and said obediently:
"Good mother."
The general's wife looked at Wen Chuxue, frowned and said:
"You dress, change to a less bright one."
I used to like to wear plain clothes, but now this kind of sad thing happens all over the country and actually wears bright colors, is it not a problem in the head?
Complicated emotions flashed in Wen Chuxue's eyes, but she still got up and saluted and nodded.
They went back to the room to clean up, Meng Li wore an ordinary white dress, took off all the jewelry on his head, and did not trace his eyebrows and powder, Meng Li thought: This sincerity is always enough, right?
At least it won't make the general's wife unhappy, after all, this body is not hers, and she can't cause trouble to the original owner recklessly.
If the general's wife is extremely unhappy with her, if this crisis is successfully passed, the original owner will come back, and the marriage will not be good at that time, which will inevitably make people sad, in this era, the woman's marriage is especially important to the woman.
Everyone gathered at the door, and although they went to kneel to greet the Heavenly Master, they still wore something similar to a mask and covered it tightly.
And not only the women in the general's mansion, but also a concubine and a sister-in-law, and the rest of the aunts in the mansion were not called by the general's wife.
The general's wife said:
"We can't go by car, we have to walk to the city gate."
Zheng Xian said a little coquettishly:
"Mother, how long does it take to go, let's go quietly by car?"
The general's wife looked straight and said:
"Nonsense, this kind of thing is not going to be said, the Heavenly Master will not come until after noon, we have time to wait."
The general's wife glanced at her sister-in-law, who was about ten years old, and pursed her lips.
The general's wife said so, everyone could only walk towards the street outside, and many people rushed towards the city gate, everyone was dressed in a plain and low-key manner, and it seemed that they had received the news from the palace.
Zheng Xian deliberately walked beside Meng Li and asked:
"Who is this Heavenly Master who came out of thin air?"
Meng Li shook his head:
"I don't know."
Zheng Xian said:
"Why don't we visit the Celestial Master's residence at night tonight?"
Meng Lidao:
"Let's take a look at the situation today, and then make plans, I personally think that people who don't know the depth of the characters should not be rashly bothered."
Zheng Xian glanced at Meng Li:
"You're thoughtful about things, I'm just a little reckless, our match is very good, next time I can't get a mission, I'll send you a support mission."
Meng Li really wanted to say that he was scared.
The general's wife took the lead and walked in the front, glanced back at Zheng Xian, dissatisfied with Zheng Xian muttering to Meng Li in the back, Zheng Xian hurriedly trotted to catch up with the general's wife.
The general's wife frowned.
Wen Chuxue also took off all the jewelry, without powder, she wrung her brows from time to time and looked puzzled, and her expression was a little dazed from time to time.
Wen Chuxue is very skeptical about life, why is it reborn once, and things become unrecognizable, or is this the real thing, those so-called things in the previous life, all a dream?
But that pain and hatred are engraved in my bones.
Although Meng Li was walking beside Wen Chuxue, she didn't pay much attention to Wen Chuxue, presumably Zheng Xian could handle it, and she didn't have to intervene.
Although the streets were crowded, people who didn't know each other kept their distance as much as possible, for fear of being infected.
After walking all morning, we came to the street of the city gate, where there used to be many small merchants and vendors, and people who entered the city always liked to buy something here.
Later, after the plague broke out and locked the city, there was no source of goods and no customers, and they all withdrew.
Now it was just time to vacate a place for them to kneel.
There are already soldiers arranging positions at the city gate, and the princes and nobles can get closer to the city gate, because it will be convenient to pay more respects to the true face of the heavenly master at that time.
According to the rank, Wen Bin's official rank is not low, and the general's wife and his family knelt down in a place not far from the city gate according to the soldier's request.
Mixed up a medium-to-upper position.
After kneeling for about an hour, the soldiers opened the way in front, and this is the time for the Heavenly Master to make his debut.
The soldiers who lined up in a long line walked to the end, guarding both sides one after another, and when they heard the sound of horses' hooves, Meng Li raised his head and saw the father of this body, General Wen.
Since the outbreak of the epidemic, he has been guarding the safety of the royal family in the palace, and he has not seen him for many days.
General Wen rode a tall horse to the side, in the middle of a luxurious open-top carriage, the emperor sat side by side with a strangely dressed man, the man wore a mask, but judging from his slightly raised chin, the expression under the mask should be haughty.
