Chapter 57: Hell on Earth (6)
"You go down first, and then you guys can go down after you put your things down."
"yes!!"
The maids who came with Zhao Ziyin put the food and medicine on the table and left. In the end, there were two maids who came with Meng Han as a dowry. Although Zhao Ziyin did not say it explicitly, he glanced at them and they left obediently. After a while, only Zhao Ziyin and Meng Han were left in the room...
Zhao Ziyu walked to the table and sat down. He was exhausted from the heavy workload every day. Whenever he had time, he would take some time to rest because he couldn't fall down yet. Compared with Menghan's haggard appearance, he was not much better.
"It seems that something similar has happened before?"
Zhao Ziyin picked up the teacup on the table and poured tea into the teapot while speaking; but Menghan remained indifferent and did not react...
"I asked the servants to prepare some easy-to-eat meals and nourishing soups and medicines. If you often skip meals like this, your body will not be able to bear it sooner or later."
After saying that, Zhao Ziyu drank the tea in one gulp.
"So what?"
Meng Han's depressed answer seemed very depressing? Or was there something else behind her words?
"You should be more self-aware. As a princess of the Han Kingdom and the wife of a general, if anything happens to you, it won't just be your problem."
"So what if I'm a princess? So what if I'm the general's wife? They're just empty titles. To be honest, I'm just a hostage imprisoned in Zhao State."
"You are still a princess and a general's wife, even if you are a hostage. As long as you are the princess, you are above everyone else and you are served by servants. Regardless of the country, as long as something happens to you, those who serve you and follow you will be punished. Is this what you want to see?"
Zhao Ziyin's words startled Meng Han. Although his words were a bit harsh, they made sense. Meng Han had no way to refute them, and she couldn't find any reasons. These were things she had never considered before...
"I will leave when my father comes back. Before that, if you continue like this, I can only punish the person I just mentioned accordingly."
"you--"
"You forced me to do it, so you have no right to blame me."
Meng Han was speechless after being overthrown by Zhao Ziyan. No matter what, this was her own fault and Zhao Ziyan was just doing what he was supposed to do. Thinking about it this way, Meng Han really felt ashamed.
"Eat it, or it will get cold. You won't let down those who worked so hard to make these, right?"
Meng Han was speechless. Zhao Ziyin's words were like adding fuel to the fire. At this time, Zhao Ziyin stood up...
"I'm leaving now. If you have anything special you want to eat, or if you want to eat at any time, just tell the servants. I've already given the order. As long as it's your request, they will try their best to meet it."
After saying this, Zhao Ziyin left without any hesitation. Watching Zhao Ziyin leave, and then looking at the food on the table, Menghan slowly got up from her chair and walked to the table filled with delicacies from the mountains and the sea. They were all nutritious and easy to swallow. I wonder if they were prepared by the kitchen itself or ordered by Zhao Ziyin? Looking at the sumptuous meal, Menghan slowly sat down...
Within the territory of Feiyan State.
From the moment they set foot in Feiyan State, Zhao Ziheng and his party couldn't help but feel like vomiting about what they saw and heard along the way. Along the way, Zhao Ziheng experienced spring, summer, autumn and winter before finally stepping into Feiyan State where it was spring all year round. However, from what they saw before their eyes, it was indeed the general appearance of spring all year round. However, what was completely inconsistent with the wonder was that the area where people used to live was full of rotting, stinking corpses, and occasionally there were corpses lying on the roadside. As long as they could see crows, there must be large numbers of corpses underneath!
The army stopped outside a certain city, and a group of fully armed, masked people, led by Zhao Ziheng, entered the city to explore. "I saw a lot of tragic scenes in the places I passed by before, but they are completely incomparable to this place."
Wang Ye walked beside Zhao Ziheng, occasionally looking around and narrating.
"According to the intelligence, this is the second area where the plague has broken out, right?"
"yes."
"What do you think after watching it?"
In response to Zhao Ziheng's question, Wang Ye's mouth, which was covered by the face towel, slightly raised its arc, while the others hesitated and looked around from time to time...
What everyone saw before their eyes could no longer be described as "tragic". It should be said that there were no words to describe it. Although corpses that had almost turned into skeletons were everywhere, they were not corpses here, but bones. Many roads and walls had traces of blood and other traces that had long since dried up. When they first stepped into this city, they had an indescribable feeling of being upset. They should have been used to it . Could it be because this was the second area where the plague had broken out?
"Hell on earth?"
After a while, someone suddenly spoke. After hearing this answer, Zhao Ziheng stopped, and the others also stopped. Zhao Ziheng turned to the person who answered...
“Not a bad answer.”
Zhao Ziheng responded to the person who answered. As for the reason, since entering the city, corpses have been scattered here and there. One of the corpses, judging from the clothes, is a female. In her arms is the corpse of a baby. Because they are all dead, the real cause of death is unknown. Among some corpses, there are weapons drawn under the corpses wearing soldiers' uniforms. If they really died of the plague, why would they draw the weapons? The bloodstains on the ground, walls and many other objects and buildings can be seen at a glance. Someone was massacred nearby and splashed there. Why would this happen in the outbreak point of the plague? Is it really because of the plague? If so, why would someone want to kill them? Wouldn't it be better to burn them with fire? Why go to so much trouble? After noticing these, it is not difficult to imagine the scene at that time. It is probably similar to "hell". At that time, it is probably a so-called "hell on earth" here, right?
