Chapter 710: Plague 3

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Word spread like wildfire. Everyone panicked.

A sensible person said, “Let’s just follow the instructions of the palace. In the past, before the outbreak of a plague, there were always signs. Perhaps the imperial court noticed some signs and was worried that the plague would spread, so they asked us to stay at home.”

“That’s right, that’s right. We have to listen to the order. As long as we follow the order, we won’t fall sick, so there’s no need to panic.”

Diseases of all scales were unavoidable since ancient times.

After saying that, everyone thought about it and did not seem to be so afraid anymore.

Someone lowered his voice and said, “1 don’t think it’s that simple. I heard that a few days ago, the Star Reaching Tower in the palace collapsed. You know that, right? That day, there was an earth-shattering bang.”

“This Star Reaching Tower has a very important place in the Xia dynasty. It’s a praying platform built by the Cloud Breaking Sect. The Cloud Breaking Sect abandoned the Xia Dynasty and said that the Xia Dynasty would fall. I think something big is going to happen in the capital.”

As soon as this person said that, everyone fell silent. They waited for him to continue. He did not let them down and continued, “We don’t know if this disease is real or not, but the collapse of the Star Reaching Tower has suppressed the fate of the Xia Dynasty. It’s been two months. Some news has leaked out. Do you know about the fight between the psychics?”

People shook their heads. These things were too far away from them, and news was blocked. They had no idea at all.

The man continued, “1 don’t know if any of you still remember what happened to Miss Miao Yin back then. Miss Liu, who dealt with Miss Miao Yin, is very capable. In less than two years, she turned the capital upside down. Hui Zhen and Yuan Hui all died in her hands. In short, if anyone is targeted by her, they won’t have a good time.”

Everyone listened with interest. “Then what does the intense situation in the capital have to do with her?”

“It definitely has something to do with Miss Liu. She’s too arrogant and offended the Cloud Breaking Sect. The Cloud Breaking Sect is a sect that has been established for more than a thousand years. I heard that Miss Liu offended the Cloud Breaking Sect that day. The Cloud Breaking Sect couldn’t be bothered to argue with her. Our emperor thinks highly of Miss Liu. There can’t be two tigers in one mountain. The Cloud Breaking Sect persuaded the emperor kindly, but he didn’t believe it. Before the people from the Cloud Breaking Sect left, they warned the emperor that something would happen if he trusted Miss Liu too much.”

After saying that, he spread out his hands. “Look, something happened now, but we, the common people, are still kept in the dark.”

When people heard this, they were worried. “Then what did Miss Liu do?”

“Let me put it this way for everyone. Miss Liu is not an ordinary person. She has the ability to fight with the people of the Cloud Breaking Sect. If she offends a large sect, she will be fine, but will we be fine? 1 don’t dare to say that Miss Liu must have brought the disaster, but I dare to say that she definitely has something to do with it.”

After saying that, he sighed. “Everyone, protect yourself. Miss Liu is not someone we can afford to offend.”

Everyone felt very upset.

The sudden change in the capital made people panic. Most of the commoners did not know the reason, but what this person said was convincing.

After hearing his words, everyone more or less had hatred towards Liu Sanniang.

Because of martial law, there were gradually fewer pedestrians on the road.

Outside the quiet Daoist temple, a few people entered one after another. They went straight into the main hall and said to Daoist Yun Guan, who was meditating with his eyes closed, “s.h.i.+fu, everything is ready.”

Daoist Yun Guan opened his eyes. “The seed has already been planted. From now on, we just need to wait quietly for the seed to grow. In the future, If there’s nothing else, don’t go out. Don’t get infected.”

“s.h.i.+fu, don’t worry. We’ll be very careful.”

Being infected with the plague could easily take their lives. How could they not be careful?

The capital was in a state of panic. On the first night, more than ten people fell seriously ill. Their bodies were red and covered in blisters.

This situation was special. The doctor immediately reported it to the patrolling soldiers.

The soldiers immediately sent these sick people to the quarantine area for treatment.

After the imperial physicians took their pulses, they revealed troubled expressions. “This illness is really strange. Evil fire comes out of their bodies and burns them. If this continues, in less than seven days, these people will die from the burning and pus.”

There was no good way to treat it. They could only take medicine to reduce the pain.

At dawn, many more sick people were brought back one after another.

The cries and wails of these sick people made others feel afraid.

The street during the day was extremely deserted. Some people who came out to ask for information were persuaded to go back by the soldiers.

Now, it was undeniable that there was a plague going on in the capital.

When Xia Hongming heard the news, he was burning with anxiety. He reached out to hold his forehead. “Is there any news from Miss Liu?”

The plague had already been wreaking havoc. There was nothing they could do to get rid of it.

“Not yet. Miss Liu only asked us to be more vigilant. During this period of time, it’s best if the commoners stay in seclusion to prevent the spread of the plague. If anyone is sick, they have to be isolated immediately, including their families.”

Xia Hongming took a deep breath. “Then do as Miss Liu said.”

The soldiers in the capital increased again, and some commoners on the streets were persuaded to go back.

The Daoists who disguised themselves as commoners to gather information returned to the Daoist temple and reported the news to Daoist Yun Guan.

“s.h.i.+fu, the capital is heavily guarded. Perhaps not as many people will die as we planned.”

Daoist Yun Guan’s expression was cold. “They can guard against the plague, but not the human hearts..”
