Take this little lucky star home and the whole dynasty will be filled with prosperity!

The more General Cui thought about it, the more frightened he became.

If anything happens to His Majesty, he will be a criminal of the country.

"My personal visit to the city will surely calm the hearts of the military and civilians. As the emperor, I should be with the people, especially in this critical moment." Xiao Chenming's stern face was full of determination.

Luo Luo raised his head and took a deep look at the border town in front of him. A thick, cold and gloomy air surrounded the border town.

Luo Luo frowned and felt heavy in his heart.

The city is probably like hell on earth at this moment.

If she doesn't go, the city may not be saved.

"Brother Cui, don't worry, Luo Luo will be well behaved and will never cause any trouble." The little guy nodded and assured firmly.

General Cui didn't know what to do and looked at Xiao Chenming for comfort.

Xiao Chenming nodded slightly, and General Cui stopped refutation and led his troops to prepare to enter the city.

The closer they got to the city gate, the more panicked the people became.

The epidemic is far more serious than they imagined.

Outside the city gate, there was a pile of white bones lying in a mess, and there were also several festering corpses. It looked extremely creepy and horrifying.

The air was filled with the stench of rotting corpses.

Everyone put on face towels, but still couldn't cover up the pungent and unpleasant smell.

The city gate in front of us stood tall in this bitterly cold desert. The rusty gate was tightly closed. On the tall city wall stood the city guards holding bows and arrows with solemn faces.

General Cui's heavy heart suddenly became joyful.

He had been in the border town for six years, eating and sleeping with these brothers. They were as close as brothers, and his blood would boil unconsciously when he saw them.

Defending the country is the unshakable belief in every soldier's heart.

Even though the conditions were tough, they could not extinguish the light of faith in their eyes.

Wearing thick face masks, everyone slowly came to the city gate.

When I got closer, I found that the rust on the heavy iron door was actually stained with blood, which looked particularly shocking.

Outside the city wall was a patch of dry and sparse grass, with a few rotting and smelly corpses lying scattered in it.

Xiao Chenming took Luo Luo and sat in the carriage.

Even though I was covering my face with a scarf, I still couldn't block out the stench.

Everyone had a heavy look on their face, and their hearts felt as if they were suffocating as if a thousand pounds were pressing down on them.

"Who are you? Please stop immediately, otherwise don't blame us for being rude!" The soldiers on the city wall, holding bows and arrows, aimed at the people below the city, and shouted loudly with a stern tone.

"Dear guests, the epidemic is spreading in this city and the situation is serious. To ensure everyone's safety, please do not enter or leave. Please leave immediately."

The leading guard stood on the city wall, shouting loudly, his voice sonorous and powerful, his eyes scorching like torches.

"Deputy General Chen, it's me. Open the city gate. I'm here to deliver supplies to you and fight alongside you!"

General Cui rode on his horse, waving a long whip and shouting loudly towards the city wall.

When the soldiers heard this, they were stunned for a moment, then they came to their senses and almost cheered on the city wall.

Deputy General Chen hurriedly went down the city wall and ran towards the city gate.

Behind him were more than twenty soldiers armed with bows and arrows and sharp swords to prevent the people from rioting.

"General, please let us out, or we will all die here."

"Yes, General. There are nine people in my family, and only my only son and I are left alive. Please be kind and let the child go out. Only by going out can he survive!"

"General, please open the city gate and let us out. We are not sick!"

······

When the people blocking the gate saw Deputy General Chen coming down from the city wall and heading toward the gate, they all knelt on the ground and begged in tears.

Lieutenant General Chen looked at the elderly, weak, women and children lying on the ground at the door, feeling both sympathy and helplessness.

"You all should go back. No one can leave the city. This is a death order."

At a command from Lieutenant General Chen, the archers behind him stood opposite the people, ready to attack.

The people cried and cursed, and reluctantly left the city gate.

Deputy General Chen sighed deeply, "Alas! There is nothing we can do!"

The number of sick and dead people in the city is increasing day by day, and many people want to escape.

Every day, there are several waves of people trying to break through the city gate, clashing with the soldiers, and shedding the blood of innocent civilians in the city.

When reason doesn't work, the only option is to suppress it by force!

"Come on, quickly, open the city gate and welcome the general!" Deputy General Chen gave an order, and the city gate creaked and slowly opened.

General Cui rode his horse and arrived at the city gate first.

Deputy General Chen's eyes sparkled with excitement, and he almost choked up as he shouted, "General Cui!!"

Then, he quickly moved back a few steps and said, "General, please stop. This border town is no longer the same as before. The epidemic in the city is very serious. General, please put down the supplies and the doctor and go back quickly. This is a place where you can't return once you come here!"

The soldiers on and off the city wall looked at General Cui deeply with red eyes and nodded repeatedly.

"You little brat, stop talking nonsense. We have been through so many ups and downs for so many years. Could it be that in your eyes, I am just a coward?"

"Stop talking nonsense and open all the city gates for me!"

Although General Cui gave Lieutenant General Chen a cold look, the comradeship that they had experienced through life and death for many years was further sublimated at this moment.

General Cui's nose was sour and his eyes were red. He shouted, "Open the city gates and welcome the general!"

immediately.

The city gate is wide open!

General Cui marched into the city with his troops and supplies.

The stench of decay in the city was even stronger.

As soon as the carriage entered the city, Lolo couldn't wait to open the window and observe the surrounding situation.

I also want to see if my second brother and my parents are there.

"General Cui, why did you bring a child here? Don't you know how dangerous this place is?"

"The people in the city were trying desperately to escape, regardless of life or death, but you brought the baby into the city."

When Lieutenant General Chen saw the chubby, pink, and big black eyes of Lolo, he instantly became nervous.

"Well, let her be. You don't need to worry." General Cui could only sigh helplessly.

If they knew that His Majesty was here in person, would they go completely crazy?

Deputy General Chen looked at General Cui in surprise. How could he not worry? This was a matter of life and death!

But Luo Luo smiled at him, looking fearless.

Xiao Chenming pulled Luo Luo to his side, glanced at her with his sharp eyes, and scolded, "Sit down!!"

The situation outside is so bad, do you still dare to stick your head out and breathe in this polluted air?

"You promised me that I would bring you here and that you must listen to me!"

"Don't you know how serious this epidemic is?"

"Everywhere here is dangerous, so you must be honest. Nothing is more important than your safety!"
