A red apricot is about to cheat on you

The vanguards of the Huju tribe below stood in front of the formation, all of them smiling, looking at the embarrassed appearance of the Jiangzhou soldiers, their hearts full of pride.

Tuoba Hong was at the front, a chilling sneer on his face.

His vicious plan was to let these arrows cause the wounds of the soldiers in the city to fester and become inflamed, eventually killing them.

Then, all he had to do was wait for the plague in the city to dissipate, and Jiangzhou would fall on its own, allowing him to easily reap the fruits of victory. Thinking of this, his brows relaxed, a look of pride filling his face.

The place where the wounded in the city are treated... the largest medical clinic in Jiangzhou!

There was a panic.

The doctors' alarm bells rang as they saw the wounds. Old Chen's face was grim, and he shouted at everyone to put on their masks immediately, cursing the Tiger Ju people for their viciousness and calling them nothing more than beasts.

When everyone heard this, they were all shocked. Seeing the doctors all looking nervous, they also knew that this matter was serious, so they hurriedly found some face towels and put them on hastily.

Some women found the smell of manure unbearable and ran out to vomit.

Yi Duo'er, however, remained calm. She had endured many hardships in the army and had tasted every kind of hardship. With delicate steps, she approached the leading doctor, Elder Chen, frowning slightly as she asked in confusion, "Elder Chen, why are we wearing face coverings? Are they?"

Old Chen looked solemn, sighed deeply, and explained, "Those beasts are trying to spread the plague. They are so vicious."

Yi Duo'er stood there in shock, as if struck by lightning. She knew that if what Old Chen had said was true, the plague would soon ravage the area, and Jiangzhou would be doomed.

However, she quickly came to her senses, and a flicker of determination flashed across her lively eyes. She immediately shouted:

"Quickly seal off the front line and this area. Tell everyone not to go out for the time being. Wear your face covering! If you run around, you will be punished by military law!"

"Yes..." a soldier responded, and then quickly ran out to convey this urgent order.

Sure enough, within two days, the soldiers who were infected with feces continued to worsen their injuries despite receiving timely treatment, and finally the plague spread mercilessly.

During this period, the Huju people did not dare to attack rashly. They knew very well how terrible the plague was. Once infected, their entire army and camp would be wiped out.

So, they chose to wait outside the city, hoping that most of the people in Jiangzhou would die, so that they could attack in one fell swoop and easily capture Jiangzhou.

They believe that as the number of deaths increases, the epidemic will disappear on its own.

Now, more than a dozen civilians died every day in Jiangzhou, and the streets and alleys were filled with the smell of death. For a time, Jiangzhou seemed to have become a living hell, with wailing and heartbreaking sounds everywhere.

Yi Duoer looked at the miserable plight of the people in the city and felt extremely heartbroken. Her eyes were red and tears welled up in them.

She suddenly felt so powerless. Facing this disaster that was coming like a tide, she didn't know how to deal with it. Her seemingly unruly heart was actually the kindest. Seeing these kind and simple people, her heart was filled with bitterness!

She looked lonely and hid under a big tree. She slowly squatted down and hugged her knees with her hands.

The crystal tears slowly slid down her cheeks, dripped onto the ground, and splashed tiny teardrops.

This was the first time she cried so sadly, and her cry was full of helplessness towards this cruel war.

At this moment, Gu Yizhou saw her trembling figure from afar and was startled. He walked over quickly, slowly squatted down, raised his hand and gently placed it on her shoulder. His palm was broad and warm, carrying silent comfort.

Yi Duoer sniffed and wiped the tears from her face with her sleeve. She raised her head slightly, looked at Gu Yizhou, and called softly, "Sir..."

Gu Yizhou forced a faint smile, trying to dispel the sadness in her heart with a joking tone, and said: "Why do I see a kitten hiding in the side, crying secretly?"

Yi Duoer burst out laughing when she heard this. She knew in her heart that the one who was most worried at the moment was Gu Yizhou.

As the garrison commander of Jiangzhou, he shouldered the safety of the entire city. But he still pretended to be calm to cheer her up, which touched her heart.

"Sir, I can't go to Sister Yuerong right now. I'm so worried about her." Yi Duoer's tone was extremely calm, but the worry in her words was like a flood that broke through a dam, and anyone could hear it clearly.

Gu Yizhou was also worried, and a trace of worry flashed in his eyes.

However, the situation in Jiangzhou is extremely critical at the moment. As the lord defending the city, he can only sacrifice his small family for the sake of everyone.

His face darkened slightly, but he still comforted her softly: "Don't worry, I have prepared several midwives, and there are enough people in the mansion. Yuyao is also here to take care of her."

Yi Duo'er felt bitter. She knew Gu Yizhou had done his best, but she couldn't help but feel sad. She sighed helplessly. She looked into the distance, silently praying that this disaster would pass quickly.
