Zheng Xian returned to the room and said to Meng Li:
"The prince is crazy. He came here to ask me if anything special happened in the general's mansion."
Meng Li pondered for a moment and said:
"The General's Mansion isn't special enough."
Zheng Xian looked at Meng Li:
"How to say?"
Meng Li smiled and said:
"Three women, two missionaries, and one reborn."
Zheng Xian nodded:
"You're right to say that."
Meng Li returned the spirit gathering ball to Zheng Xian and said:
"I'm going back."
Zheng Xian said:
"Well, let's go see that man again tonight."
Meng Li hummed and took Zheng Xian to see the man that night.
But they were already dead, and their corpses exuded a stench, and more and more people were suffering from the disease outside the city gate. Some people kept shouting and pleading to the officers and soldiers guarding the gate, hoping that they would open the city gate.
There was no food outside the city gate, and some people starved to death.
Meng Li saw burn marks on the ground. It was probably because the officers and soldiers guarding the city fired rockets directly and burned some corpses.
Zheng Xian sighed deeply when he saw this scene and followed Meng Li back to the general's mansion.
Another day later, when greeting the general's wife, the general's wife said:
"Wait a minute, let's go to the street and kneel down to greet the Heavenly Master. Today, the Heavenly Master will go to the city gate to visit the people who are infected with the epidemic."
Zheng Xian had a question mark on his face and asked:
"Mom, what kind of heavenly master?"
The general's wife said with piety on her face:
"The Heavenly Master is here to save the world. According to the Heavenly Master, this is God's punishment for mankind. We have committed too many sins. As long as each of us sincerely repent, the Heavenly Master can help save the world."
Zheng Xian:
What the hell
She glanced at Meng Li, who was silently standing aside. Meng Li was a concubine here, so it was naturally difficult for her to ask questions about the mistress.
Meng Li was also wondering where this heavenly master came from.
Zheng Xian could only continue:
"Mom, what you mean is that the Heavenly Master can cure diseases?"
The general's wife nodded, looked at Meng Li and Wen Chuxue, and said:
"Everyone, go and be pious. The Heavenly Master will definitely be able to see our sincerity."
"And this is also an order from the emperor, asking everyone in the capital to seek a chance for survival for the people outside the city. They say it is for them, but in fact it is also for us. Now the sick people outside the city have rioted, and they have to rely on soldiers to suppress them violently, but …”
There will always be a day when you can't suppress it.
Zheng Xian snorted and said obediently:
"Okay mother."
The general's wife looked at Wen Chuxue, frowned and said:
"Change your clothes into something less colorful."
I used to like to wear simple and elegant clothes, but now I wear bright colors when such sad things happen across the country. Could it be a brain problem
Wen Chuxue's eyes flashed with complicated emotions, but she still stood up and saluted and nodded.
They each went back to their rooms to clean up. Meng Li wore ordinary white clothes, took off all the jewelry on his head, and did not apply any powder on his eyebrows. Meng Li thought: Is this sincerity enough
At least it won't make the general's wife unhappy. After all, this body is not hers, and she can't act recklessly and cause trouble to the original owner.
If the general's wife is extremely unhappy with her, and if the crisis is successfully overcome, the original owner will come back, and the marriage will not go well, which will inevitably make people sad. In this era, a woman's marriage is particularly important to a woman.
Everyone gathered at the door. Although they went to kneel to greet the Heavenly Master, they still wore something like a mask and covered themselves tightly.
And it's not just the women in the general's mansion, there is also a concubine and a legitimate son. The other aunts in the mansion were not called by the general's wife.
The general’s wife said:
"We can't go there by car, we have to walk to the street at the city gate."
Zheng Xian said coquettishly:
"Mom, how long does it take to walk? Can we take a ride quietly?"
The general's wife looked straight and said:
"Nonsense, don't say such things. The Heavenly Master will not come until after noon. We have time to wait."
The general's wife glanced at her legitimate son, who was about ten years old, and pursed her lips.
The general's wife had said so, and everyone could only walk towards the street outside. Many people rushed towards the city gate. Everyone was dressed in plain and elegant low-key clothes. It seemed that they had heard the news from the palace.
Zheng Xian deliberately walked beside Meng Li and asked:
"Who is this heavenly master who appears out of thin air?"
Meng Li shook his head:
"I don't know."
Zheng Xian said:
"Why don't we visit the Celestial Master's residence tonight?"
Meng Li said:
"Let's take a look at the situation today and then make plans. Personally, I think it's better not to bother people who don't know the depth of things."
Zheng Xian glanced at Meng Li:
"You are considerate of things, but I am a bit reckless. We have a good match. I will send you a support mission next time if I can't handle it."
Meng Li really wanted to say that he was scared.
The general's wife took the lead and walked in the front. She looked back at Zheng Xian and was dissatisfied with Zheng Xian muttering with Meng Li behind. Zheng Xian quickly ran to catch up with the general's wife.
The general's wife's brows relaxed.
Wen Chuxue also took off all her jewelry and did not apply makeup. She frowned with confusion on her face from time to time, and looked a little dazed from time to time.
Wen Chuxue was very suspicious of life. Why did things become completely different after being reborn? Or is this the real thing, and those so-called things in the previous life were all a dream
But the pain and hatred are engraved in my bones.
Although Meng Li was walking beside Wen Chuxue, he didn't pay much attention to Wen Chuxue. Zheng Xian must have been able to handle it and she didn't have to get involved.
Although the streets are crowded with people, people who are unfamiliar with them still try to keep their distance for fear of being infected.
After walking all morning, we finally reached the street at the city gate. In the past, there were many small merchants and hawkers here, and people entering the city always liked to buy something here.
Later, after the plague broke out and the city was locked down, there was no source of goods or customers, and they all evacuated because they were afraid of their lives.
Now there is just enough room for them to kneel down and welcome them.
Soldiers have already arranged positions at the city gate. The princes and nobles can stay closer to the city gate, because it will be easier to see the true face of the Celestial Master.
In terms of rank, Wen Bin's rank was not low. The general's wife and her family members knelt down at a place not far from the city gate in accordance with the soldier's request.
An above-average position.
After kneeling for about an hour, soldiers opened the way in front. This was when the Heavenly Master was about to make his debut.
The long line of soldiers came to the end and stood guard on both sides. When he heard the sound of horse hooves, Meng Li raised his head and saw the body of his father, General Wen.
Since the outbreak of the epidemic, he has been guarding the safety of the royal family in the palace and has not been seen for some time.
General Wen Da rode a tall horse and walked aside. There was a luxurious open carriage in the middle. The emperor sat side by side with a man in strange clothes. The man wore a mask, but judging from his slightly raised chin, the expression under the mask could not be seen. It should be arrogant.
