Chapter 1059 An Accident at the Border

Lu Tingchen is the uncle of the current dynasty, almost everyone knows it.

In addition, in the several battles between Da Shang and Dan Jue last year, Lu Tingchen was brave and good at fighting, and shocked the enemy. He was rewarded by the emperor and promoted to general.

At this time, many people waiting to enter the city had already gathered under the city gate.

Hearing the shout of someone coming, they all looked over in surprise.

I saw that man was dusty, his body was covered with wind and sand, his lips were dry and cracked, his whole body was in a state of embarrassment, except for a pair of eyes, which were abnormally bright.

For a while, everyone started whispering, rushing thousands of miles away, usually only when there is a battle report, will it be used. Could it be that the border war has started again?

The soldiers at the city gate had already heard the shouts of the coming man, leaned over to look at the token in the man's hand, and then quickly went to report to the general guarding the city.

After a while, the chief general hurried over, also identified the token in the person's hand, and after confirming that it was Lu Tingchen's warrant, he immediately ordered to open the city gate.

The city gate was almost opened a crack, and the guard pulled the reins and galloped into the city gate at full speed.

As soon as the people came in, the soldiers quickly closed the city gate again.

Because it is not yet time to open the city gate.

The guards rode on horses and headed directly towards the palace.

The palace, the meeting hall.

Nothing to do today, Long Yang was about to order the court to disperse, when suddenly there was a burst of anxious singing outside, "Report—"

Everyone was startled, and when they looked back, they saw a dirty soldier who was helped in by several guards, and it was Chu Yi who walked in first.

He walked quickly, his face extremely dignified.

"Your Majesty, something happened at the border."

As soon as this remark came out, the whole hall was in an uproar.

Long Yang's eyes fell on the limp soldier, and he said in a deep voice, "What happened?"

That soldier was one of Lu Tingchen's personal guards. His name was Xu Chen. He rushed back from the border without stopping for a moment. As soon as he rushed into the palace just now, he fell off his horse. The person patrolled past, and after asking the reason, he brought him here directly.

Xu Chen held on until now, when he heard the emperor's question, he said in a hoarse voice: "For some reason, more than half of the soldiers at the border gate contracted unknown serious illnesses overnight, and the military doctors couldn't find out why. There is no reason, but the disease is extremely contagious, and the military doctor concluded that it might be a plague, so the major general ordered the younger one to come back and report to the emperor, asking the emperor to send reinforcements to the border."

As soon as the word "plague" came out, all the officials in the palace felt terrified.

All right, how could there be a plague? And it is still raging at the border.

Once the soldiers are infected with the plague, how can they still have the ability to fight? If the enemy army attacks at this time...

Everyone couldn't help but panicked.

Plague is worse than war.

Lu Hetian frowned, just as he was about to say something, Long Yang spoke first, "How is your major general?"

"When I came back, the major general was safe and sound, and all the checkpoints leading to the border have been temporarily blocked, and the news about the army has also been completely blocked, so the outside world still doesn't know the situation of the plague at the border."

After listening to Xu Chen's words, Lu Hetian finally let go of his raised heart.

Long Yang also heaved a sigh of relief.

In the silence of the hall, Xu Chen suddenly said again: "The major general has an unfeeling request. He also asks the emperor to send the queen and Mrs. Zhen Guo to the border to help control the plague."

As soon as these words came out, Long Yang frowned imperceptibly.

That's all for Ling Lihua, but Lu Tingchen knows that Wei Wei is pregnant, so how dare he make such a request?

But Lu Tingchen is not a brainless person, and he proposed to go to Weiwei to explain the situation at the border, which is really not optimistic.

Lu Hetian's complexion is also extremely bad.
