Troubled times: Start practicing spiritual practice by taking care of your sister-in-law

"Your Majesty, I ask for your permission to lead the troops to attack Jin Xia and avenge this blood feud." Wu Yanqing stepped forward and asked for permission.

"Your Majesty, I am willing to go with Duke Wu." Xiao Jing said.

"I understand the feelings of the two beloved ministers, but I asked you to come here for another important matter." Chen Mo said.

"I will obey your majesty's orders." Wu Yanqing and Xiao Jing said in unison.

Chen Mo tapped the desk with his fingers lightly. After thinking for a while, he said in a deep voice: "Wu Yanqing."

"I am here."

"I order you to lead a thousand brave guards to rush to Longyou immediately. You will have full command of the garrison in Longyou." Chen Mo ordered.

At the beginning, Shuofei County in Yuzhou had nearly 30,000 garrisons. After Jin Xia withdrew from Longyou, these 30,000 garrisons naturally took back Longyou and stationed in Longyou.

Chen Mo was worried that when the army attacked the Jinxia barbarians, Jinxia might try to open up the situation from Longyou, so he asked Wu Yanqing to go to Longyou to take charge.

Yue Ruyan is pregnant now, so Chen Mo can't let her lead the army.

"Yes." Wu Yanqing was stunned for a moment, but he quickly figured out the connection and agreed.

Xiao Jing looked at Chen Mo expectantly, obviously wanting to ask what about himself?

"Xiao Jing." Chen Mo looked at Xiao Jing.

"I'm here."

"I order you to stay in the capital and wait for the Queen and Geng Ge Lao's dispatch." Chen Mo said.

Hearing this, Xiao Jing was shocked.

He understood that Duke Wu went to Longyou, Concubine Zhuang (Yue Ruyan) was pregnant, and he stayed in the capital, so His Majesty was going to lead the army in person.

And His Majesty also let Geng Ge Lao and the Queen restrain him. Even if His Majesty didn't lead the army in person, he wouldn't dare to act rashly. In fact, he didn't have any other thoughts.

His daughter was pregnant with His Majesty's child.

Xiao Ya is also His Majesty's concubine.

The current status of the Xiao family is already high enough, and it can be regarded as a complete entanglement of the Wei Dynasty.

"Minister, obey your order." Xiao Jing said.

After Wu Yanqing and Xiao Jing left, Chen Mo called Geng Songfu again and ordered him to supervise the country.

With Jin Xia jumping up and down like this, Chen Mo must lead the army in person to annihilate Jin Xia.

Weiyang Palace.

The palace was spacious and bright. Wu Mi sat behind a long table, doing needlework while chatting with Han Anniang.

Xia Zhining and Xia Zhiqing were also there. Their hair was full of pearls and jade. Under the sunlight shining in from the window, they were shining and beautiful. They were holding a baby girl in their arms. They were Xia Zhining's daughters Chen Li and Chen Xin. They looked at everyone with a smile and occasionally said a word or two.

Yi Shiyan sat beside Wu Mi, with her clothes slightly exposed, feeding her daughter Chen Nianmo in front of everyone.

Listening to Han Anniang talking about Chen Mo, Yi Shiyan immediately took over the conversation: "Your Majesty is in whose sister's palace now?"

Han Anniang shook her head, Wu Mi smiled slightly and said: "Sister Zhuang Fei is pregnant, and now Your Majesty goes to the Stargazing Tower frequently."

"Humph." Xia Zhining snorted lightly and took over the conversation: "A new generation is better than the old. I'm afraid that we old people have been forgotten by Your Majesty."

After giving birth, Xia Zhining felt that her needs were more vigorous than before, and Chen Mo didn't come to her and her sister's palace often these days. With her personality, she was embarrassed to take the initiative to ask for sex, and she inevitably had some complaints in her heart.

"I was wondering why I yawned all the time today. When I was outside, I heard someone scolding me. It turned out to be Zhining." Chen Mo walked quickly into the inner hall.

"Your Majesty."

Wu Mi and others looked happy, and the voices of Yingying and Yanyan suddenly rang out.

Even Chen Li and Chen Xin were laughing.

However, both children are not yet one year old and cannot speak.

"What day is today? An Niang and Xiao Lu are here." Chen Mo walked slowly to the front, found an embroidered cushion and sat down, and then opened his arms to the child in Xia Zhining's arms: "Little Litchi, let father hold you."

"This is Xin'er, and the one sister is holding is Little Litchi. It is true that the new generation is better than the old. You can't even recognize your own daughters."

If Xia Zhining just had some complaints just now, she was really angry at this moment. She could even recognize her own two daughters wrong.

Chen Mo looked embarrassed. Chen Li and Chen Xin were twins. They were only half a year old now. How could they be distinguished? But they were his daughters after all. If he couldn't tell his own daughters apart, it was his fault.

Chen Mo slapped himself in the face, took Chen Xin from Xia Zhining's arms, and teased: "It's all father's fault. Xin'er, please forgive father. Xin'er didn't say anything, which means she agreed. Xin'er is so good. Come, kiss me."

Xia Zhining rolled her eyes at Chen Mo when she heard this.

Wu Mi also said on the side: "It's not a special day. The weather is good today. They live close to Weiyang Palace, so I asked someone to find them to come over and sit and talk."

Chen Mo nodded, hugged Chen Xin, and took Chen Li from Xia Zhiqing's arms, saying: "The two sisters are too similar. Now they are young, it's really hard to tell them apart. We need to make two longevity locks, engrave their names on them, and wear them to distinguish them."

"You can't even recognize your own daughters, how dare you say that." Xia Zhining was still angry.

"I have already told the people below to do it." Xia Zhiqing had already arranged it. To be honest, if it weren't for her sister's reminder, she would have found it difficult to tell them apart.

"Are Nuo'er and the others still in class?" Chen Mo asked.

Xia Zhiqing, Wu Mi, and Han Anniang all nodded.

"Where did my husband go just now?" Xiaolu had just finished feeding the child, and her broad chest was red. She pulled her clothes and looked up at Chen Mo, her beautiful eyes sparkling slightly.

Chen Mo handed Chen Li to Xia Zhiqing to hold, and took Chen Nianmo from Xiaolu's hands, sighing and saying: "I came from the imperial study. Something big happened in the north."

"Wow wow wow" Chen Nianmo burst into tears as soon as she was out of her mother's arms, crying so sadly.

Xiaolu had to hold her back again, and Chen Nianmo stopped crying immediately.

Chen Mo: "..."

"Your Majesty, what happened in the north?" Wu Mi asked quickly.

The plague was a secret, and Chen Mo had been hiding it, so Wu Mi didn't know yet.

"The plague broke out in Youzhou, and even Cangzhou and Gaozhou were affected. It was initially determined that the beef and mutton supplied to Fuze Restaurant in Youzhou were infected. After investigation, these cattle and sheep came from Jinxia. So I judged that this matter was probably a conspiracy of Jinxia." Chen Mo said in a deep voice.

"What?"

Hearing this, the women present were shocked.

Plague, from the people to the court, almost everyone knows about it, and everyone is terrified when talking about it.

In order to show respect for the plague, the plague was even given the title of "Plague God".

Even in some remote places, there are people who use incense to worship the Plague God to protect the whole family from disease and disaster.

"Wouldn't that mean a lot of people died?" Han Anniang said worriedly, "Even Gaozhou has been affected, so wouldn't Qingzhou be..."

"Qingzhou hasn't. The death toll reported at the beginning has been over a thousand, and the number of infected people is no less than 10,000. The court has sent the imperial physician first, but the number has not been reported yet." Chen Mo said, sighing, "I have issued an order to let Geng Songfu supervise the country. I will hand over the imperial guards of the capital to Ruyan, and Mi'er will take over the imperial guards first."

Wu Mi understood something after hearing this, and temporarily suppressed the chaotic thoughts in his heart, and worriedly said, "Your Majesty, are you going to the north too?"

Chen Mo nodded, "This group of Jinxia barbarians killed the people of Zhongzhou during the Xuanhe and Yong'an years of the previous dynasty, and now they have used such a heartless means as plague. If we don't wipe them out, how can the souls of the people and soldiers who have been harmed by them in the underworld rest in peace?"

"Are you still going to send troops to attack Jinxia?" Xia Zhining was shocked.

Seeing Chen Mo nod, she said, "Didn't you just say that there is an outbreak of plague in Youzhou and other places? If we send troops at this time, won't the army be infected?"

"We are just sending the army there first. Speed ​​is of the essence. When the plague subsides, we will launch a surprise attack on Jinxia as soon as possible." A cold light flashed in Chen Mo's eyes.

"Are we going to fight again?" Han Anniang was worried and said, "Then when are you going to leave, Erlang?"

"Tomorrow."

"Ah, Erlang, don't you wait until the plague is gone before you go? If you accidentally get infected with the plague, what will happen to me and Chong'er?" Han Anniang was about to cry.

"Such a big thing happened, I have to go over to see it. In addition, Yiren will be with me. Mi'er knows her medical skills well. She will be fine. Anniang, don't worry." Chen Mo said.

"But but."

How can Han Anniang not worry? That's a plague. She has heard from the old people in the village that no one infected with the plague can survive.

No matter how good Nalan Yiren's medical skills are, there are always exceptions.

"Your Majesty, An Niang is right. You should wait until the plague is over before you go." Wu Mi was also worried. What would they do if something bad happened?

"I have decided. Everything is arranged."

The error-free version is reading! 6=9+Shu_bar is the first to publish this novel.

Chen Mo moved the embroidery cushion and sat next to Han An Niang. He took her slender hand and held it tightly, saying: "Don't worry, nothing will happen. As long as Jin Xia is pacified, the world will be completely peaceful. Then we will have plenty of time to stay together."

"You always say that." Han An Niang snorted.

"An Niang, it's really okay. With my strength, the plague can't hide from me."

"You're just bragging." Han An Niang leaned her head on Chen Mo's shoulder, tears still swirling in her eyes. After a moment, she said, "Erlang, you can go, and I will go with you."

"I'm going for something important. Why are you going with me? Isn't it a nuisance?"

Han An Niang is just a ninth-rank warrior, and her temperament is still the kind of indecisive, just like a sheep.

"I can take care of you. Although Miss Nalan has superb medical skills, she doesn't look like she can serve people, and the army is full of rough people. In short, if only Miss Nalan accompanies you, I'm worried." Han An Niang said.

"Sister An Niang, I'll go with him." Xia Zhining said.

"No, how old are Xiao Li'er and Xin'er, they still need your care." Chen Mo rejected it.

"Then sister goes, Nuo'er and Youyou are also grown up." Xia Zhining said.

"Zhiqing is not suitable either, she has never been with the army. Xiaolu is even less suitable." Chen Mo said quickly when he saw Xiaolu eager to try.

"It's a pity that Ruyan is pregnant, otherwise she would be the most suitable." Wu Mi said.

Then she thought of Xiao Yunxi again.

She has a child, so she can't do it.

Yang Qingqing can do it.

But the matter of the Marquis of Hongdu County has never been put down.

"Let Yuzhu follow." Seeing that An Niang must follow him alone and take care of him by his side, Chen Mo had no choice but to think about it and chose Yuzhu.

Yuzhu, her strength is okay.

Decisive, and her personality is not twisted.

She was Xuelan's maid before, she can take care of people and is obedient.

But Han Anniang was still a little dissatisfied and hoped that Chen Mo could bring one more person.

"Anniang, I'm going to fight, not to enjoy myself." Chen Mo said with a wry smile.

Seeing that Chen Mo was really determined and could not change his mind, Han Anniang stood up and walked out of the hall.

"Anniang, where are you going?" Chen Mo was stunned.

"I have something to tell Yuzhu to take good care of you." Han Anniang said without looking back, and her pace quickened a bit.

Chen Mo: "..."

…

As the order was issued, Chang En, who had already assembled 10,000 troops, quickly led his troops to the territory of the Suzaku Guard to receive equipment.

Each person had a compound bow.

One hundred red cannons, enough shrapnel tubes

Several pottery bombs.

By the next morning, Chang En had already prepared everything.

Chen Mo took the 3,000 guards (personal soldiers camp) led by Sun Meng, Yuzhu, Nalan Yiren, and Chang En's 10,000 troops and horses, and rushed to the north.

In late August.

Arrived in Qingzhou.

Chen Mo asked Chang En and Sun Meng to wait in Nanyang, Qingzhou.

He took Yuzhu, Nalan Yiren and nearly a hundred soldiers of the Guards and went to Youzhou with light luggage.

When passing through Gaozhou and Cangzhou, Nalan Yiren went to see the people infected with the plague.

From this, she got an answer, that is, this plague is not cholera.

Chen Mo asked her if she was sure.

Nalan Yiren said that the problem was not serious, but if she wanted to prescribe the right medicine, it would be better to see the cattle and sheep that spread the plague.

In early and mid-September.

Chen Mo and his party arrived in Youzhou.

Youzhou prefect, Maguan County magistrate Guo Ning, Sheng'an County magistrate, and border garrison general Zhao Liang came to greet them.

When he learned that His Majesty was coming in person, the prefect of Youzhou broke out in cold sweat on his back, knowing that this matter was indeed a big deal.

Chen Mo learned from the prefect of Youzhou that since the outbreak of the plague, the number of deaths in Youzhou alone has reached 30,000, and the number of infected people has exceeded 100,000.

Cangzhou has been well controlled, with no more than a thousand deaths and no more than a thousand infected people.

Gaozhou has only a dozen people.

Chen Mo's face turned black when he heard this number.

Youzhou was already hit hard by the invasion of Jinxia before. Although it was a bit exaggerated that nine out of ten houses were empty, there were still five out of ten and six out of ten houses. Now the plague has taken away tens of thousands of people, which undoubtedly made Youzhou, which had just regained its vitality, fall to the bottom all of a sudden.

Seeing Chen Mo's reaction, the prefect of Youzhou trembled even more.

But it was not time to hold him accountable at this time.

In order to quell the plague as soon as possible, Chen Mo and Nalan Yiren rushed to Sheng'an County as soon as possible.

In order to control the spread of the plague, although the bodies of the first batch of people who died from the infection were burned, a few bodies were left to find out the truth.
