Knowing that Li Dian wanted him to tell the good news, how could Luo Qingluan get his wish?

With a solemn face, she slowly walked in and sat down, and said in Li Dian's expectant eyes: "No, the medicine prescribed before doesn't seem to be effective, and some soldiers who have taken the medicine are also sick." โ€

"What?"

Li Dian stood up in shock, and subconsciously said angrily: "Didn't you say that it would work, why is it useless?" In vain General Ben supports you so much, you are actually a liar? โ€

Faced with Li Dian's unceremonious questioning, Luo Qingluan would not give him a good look: "When did this princess say that it is absolutely effective?" What does the Quartermaster Department want, what do you want me to use to heal my illness? Some of the most basic herbs to clear away heat and reduce swelling, do you think they can remove this rare poison? I really don't know what to say. โ€

"Uh......"

was unceremoniously scolded by Luo Qingluan, and Li Dian reacted to the person in front of him.

This woman will not be afraid of him, let alone care about his identity and power, and now, only if he comes to please her and beg her, can he avoid this catastrophe and prevent it from being lost.

Li Diangan laughed: "Princess Chu, don't be angry, General Ben was in a hurry for a while, so he lost his words." โ€

"Come on, come on, General Ben apologizes to you, but now that the situation is critical, I still have to ask Princess Chu to bother more." Li Dian blinked his eyes, and his mind turned, and it was a bunch of nice words gushing out, "General Ben promises that as long as Princess Chu can solve this matter, General Ben will definitely ask Princess Chu for credit when he returns to Beijing, and when the time comes, you will not only be a prisoner, but also a guest of the Queen Mother!" โ€

These words reminded Luo Qingluan of her identity at this time.

The combination of threats and temptations is enough to see that Li Dian is a person, as long as it is useful, anything can be co-opted, as long as it is useless, even threatening him, he will definitely be killed.

Luo Qingluan didn't show any anger, and returned to his normal color in a moment.

Looking up at Li Dian, Luo Qingluan said with a straight look: "The general is now trying to find a way to relieve this disease as soon as possible, right?" So I now ask what kind of price the general can pay to solve this matter. โ€

Hearing Luo Qingluan's words, Li Dian frowned.

"What does Princess Chu mean, can you solve it?" He asked tentatively.

Neither admitting nor denying it, Luo Qingluan only said lightly: "Whether it can be solved or not depends on the general's words." I will now tell the general that there are two options, both of which can solve the problem, and as for what to choose, it is up to the general to choose. โ€

As soon as he heard this, Li Dian was overjoyed: "Okay, Princess Chu, please speak." โ€

didn't expect Luo Qingluan to have a way so quickly, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed.

Stretching out a hand, Luo Qingluan finally began to cast the net, as for whether Li Dian would take the bait, she had absolute confidence.

"First, the general immediately reported the situation of the military camp to the imperial court, so that the imperial court immediately sent life-saving medicinal materials, I guarantee that as long as there are medicinal materials, I will definitely be able to treat this situation."

Speaking of this, Luo Qingluan paused, and changed his words: "But I have to tell the general in advance that it must be delivered within two days, otherwise even I can't guarantee that the death toll will not exceed five thousand." โ€

Five thousand?

When this number came out of Luo Qingluan's mouth, Li Dian's eyelids trembled when he heard it.

I thought this method was good just now, although I wanted to take a risk, I might be scolded or even condemned by the Queen Mother for this, but after all, it was a natural disaster, as long as he could solve it, he should not be punished too much, and he could return to the court in advance.

But Luo Qingluan said that within two days, otherwise the death toll would exceed five thousand, and Li Dian was really shocked.

He led his troops to battle, and the number of people was only 80,000, could it be that he would lose so many people in just a natural disaster? In two days, it was 5,000, and after 2 days, will it be 10,000, or even 230,000?

What made Li Dian even more desperate was that even if the imperial court agreed to send medicine, it would take at least ten days to come and go along the way. After ten days have passed, even if the medicine is delivered, I am afraid that these Southern Wei soldiers and himself will all die.

"No, it's too late." After thinking about it, Li Dian immediately denied the idea.

In fact, what he didn't know was that even if other Southern Wei soldiers were poisoned, he would be fine.

As the commander and the person in charge, Luo Qingluan needs him to be safe and sound to handle things, otherwise, when the time comes, the dragons will be leaderless, which will only make things worse, and even the safety of her and Leng Li cannot be guaranteed.

As long as Li Dian is here, everything is under her control.

"Since the general said so, there is only a second plan."

Luo Qingluan felt a little regretful, and quickly said: "The second plan is to seek medicine nearby." For example, in a nearby border city, the general can send someone to check to see if he can find medicine, although the quantity may be limited, but it is a good way. โ€

Li Dian became heavier and heavier, and it took a long time before he nodded.

That's all there is to it.

Suddenly, Luo Qingluan reminded again: "Since you want to do it, the general must act quickly, otherwise the disease will attack quickly, and the longer it drags on, the more difficult it will be to cure." If it can't be cured and someone dies, don't blame me for not doing my best. โ€

Li Dian laughed dryly: "Princess Chu, don't worry, how can this general be that kind of person." โ€

After Luo Qingluan left, Li Dian's whole person was gloomy.

I really didn't expect the situation to be so serious, a sudden natural disaster would affect the Southern Wei attack on Western Chu and affect such a good opportunity.

Originally, he had caught the princess of Chu, and Western Chu threw a rat trap, and they Southern Wei were about to win, but this kind of thing suddenly happened.

It's too strange, Li Dian can't help but doubt it.

"General, do you really believe that woman?" A confidant soldier said on the side, his eyes full of suspicion.

"If you don't believe it, what's the use now?"

His heart became heavier and heavier, and Li Dian said in a deep voice: "Now we only have to rely on this woman, because no one can cure this disease." If she also does nothing, will you let General Ben treat these people? โ€

"But, what if Princess Chu is a ghost?"

Another henchman said directly: "Maybe, this inexplicable illness is simply Princess Chu making trouble, otherwise why would she be fine if she didn't come, and something would have happened as soon as she came?" The general didn't think about it? โ€

These words reached Li Dian's heart, but now it is useless.

Even if it was Luo Qingluan's ghost, could he still kill Luo Qingluan?

"No matter what, Princess Chu must be closely monitored, and there must be no accidents." Li Dian said in a deep voice: "Now you immediately send people to the nearby border city to search for the medicine you need, don't leave anything behind, and transport it to the military camp as soon as possible." โ€

โ€ฆโ€ฆ

On the other side, the capital of the Southern Wei Dynasty.

In front of Empress Dowager Xiao, there was a border emergency report she had just received, and she was in a very happy mood.

It was great that he won a complete victory and forced Xichu to retreat ten miles.

'm afraid

It won't take much to defeat Xichu, and the class teacher will return to the court!

Thinking that the general Li Dian not only captured the absconding princess of Chu, but also used the princess of Chu as a threat to coerce Western Chu to withdraw his troops, this method of winning without a fight did not cost a single soldier, which was really clever.

"Hehe, Qingluan, don't blame the mourning family, it's you who don't know the current affairs." Empress Dowager Xiao said gloomily.

Seeing this, Xu Qianhua on the side asked tentatively: "Queen Mother, but there is good news?" โ€

Empress Dowager Xiao was in a good mood, so she didn't mind telling Xu Qianhua about military affairs, she nodded and said: "Yes, our Southern Wei army has won, and the forced Western Chu directly retreated, do you think this is good news?" โ€

When Xu Qianhua heard this, she immediately congratulated her: "If that's the case, then it's really congratulations to the Queen Mother." โ€

"Not only did he win, but he also captured Princess Chu, Luo Qingluan!"

Listening to Empress Dowager Xiao's words, Xu Qianhua's heart jumped: "What, Princess Chu...... Caught in, caught? โ€

A strong pleasure surging from his heart almost overwhelmed Xu Qianhua.

Luo Qingluan was captured by the Southern Wei army?

Isn't this woman very proud and smart, and she was actually caught? I'm afraid that I'm being imprisoned now and suffering a lot, right? Thinking that the barracks were full of men, and Luo Qingluan was born well, I was afraid that he would be ...... now

Thinking of Luo Qingluan's miserable appearance, Xu Qianhua couldn't stop being excited.

That's good, you deserve it!

Her father and mother have a spirit in the sky, and I'm afraid that she can breathe a sigh of relief.

Empress Dowager Xiao didn't know what Xu Qianhua was thinking, and was preparing to praise Li Dian with a stroke of her pen. As soon as the pen was mentioned, the chief eunuch hurriedly came in from outside, with a panicked face, and shouted as soon as he saw the Empress Dowager Xiao: "The Empress Dowager, it's not good, the border is coming to report urgently!" โ€

"What?" Empress Dowager Xiao's face changed.

The urgent report I received just now is still good news, a big victory, why is this coming again urgently, or is it 'not good'?

Empress Dowager Xiao slapped the table, glared and said, "Say, what's wrong, what's going on at the border pass?" โ€

The eunuch raised the military information in his hand and said anxiously: "Queen Mother, there is a plague outbreak at the border pass, and now more than 10,000 soldiers are infected with the disease, and the situation is critical!" โ€

"What, the plague?" When Empress Dowager Xiao heard this, she stood up, almost unable to believe her ears.

After she finished reading the military situation, she was even more paralyzed, and fell directly on the seat, Xu Qianhua, who saw it, was shocked, and hurriedly helped her, kept giving her a good breath, and urgently summoned the imperial doctor.

Empress Dowager Xiao didn't expect that she would see this kind of news.

It was like a cloud just now, but I didn't expect to be sent to hell the next moment, the Southern Wei army was infected with the plague, and it had already infected more than 10,000 soldiers?

The entire army dispatched was only 80,000, and it lost more than 10,000 in this way?

Suddenly, Empress Dowager Xiao suddenly thought of something, and asked repeatedly: "Where is Princess Chu, where is she?" โ€

The eunuch didn't seem to expect the Queen Mother to ask him, so he didn't know how to answer at all, so he knelt on the ground in fright, and said repeatedly: "This, the slave doesn't know, please forgive the Queen Mother!" โ€

Empress Dowager Xiao just asked casually, not caring about his answer at all.

Full of thoughts was shocked by his own speculation: "Could it be that this plague was caused by Princess Chu?" โ€

Thinking that Luo Qingluan happened to be in the Southern Wei military camp now, and the military camp had such a coincidence that a plague broke out, Empress Dowager Xiao had to think so.
