Hu Guang shook his head and said helplessly: "I hope so."
Qin Wenyuan glanced at Hu Guang and said, "Uncle Hu, you and the servants who are about to leave should go together later."
Hearing this, Hu Guang took a deep breath and said, "Qin boy, when your father encountered difficulties before, he asked me to leave, and I left."
"You have encountered such difficulties this time. I don't want to leave."
Qin Wenyuan was touched when he heard Hu Guang's words.
He was not a man who was indecisive, so he nodded and said, " In that case , let us two fight against smallpox together!!"
…
It was noon.
Time has come to the ultimatum moment.
When Qin Wenyuan found Changle, he discovered that his wife's eyes were already red from crying.
He was shocked for a moment, and quickly stepped forward to support Changle's waist and asked, "Madam, what's wrong? Are you having a headache again recently?"
When Changle saw that it was Qin Wenyuan, she hurriedly wiped away the remaining tears with her little hands.
"Husband, are you really...really going to fight this smallpox alone for me?"
At this time, Changle already knew everything Qin Wenyuan had done for her.
Even though she and Qin Wenyuan had already agreed to live and die together, when she really faced the choice, she still felt sorry for her husband.
Obviously, my husband is so talented...
But is my life going to end here because of a stupid lady like me?
Changle became more and more worried.
At this moment, Qin Wenyuan gently tapped Changle's head.
"Husband, it hurts..." Changle covered her little head with her hands and made a soft, kitten-like cry to Qin Wenyuan.
Qin Wenyuan smiled comfortably, then pretended to be angry and said: "Madam, it's not me fighting smallpox alone, but you and I fighting smallpox together."
"You and me, if you mention separation again, don't blame me for hitting your head."
"Besides, I have been giving you supportive treatment these past few days. Until now, do you still think you can't defeat smallpox?"
"If you don't have confidence in yourself, then we will definitely lose!"
The so-called supportive therapy is a treatment method with more limited therapeutic goals than psychoanalysis.
Its goal is to help patients learn to cope with symptom onset in order to prevent the development of more serious mental illness.
It is because of supportive therapy that Changle has remained calm until now, and is not filled with despair like other smallpox patients.
"I...I understand. I have confidence!"
Changle sniffed and saw the determination in her husband Qin Wenyuan's eyes. She knew that Qin Wenyuan would never leave her.
In this case, then we should completely obey Qin Wenyuan's wishes.
She straightened her waist and said firmly, "We can definitely defeat smallpox!"
Qin Wenyuan was even happier at this time.
"That's right, it's just smallpox, we just need to eradicate it!!"
…
Outside the Qin Mansion, there were countless guards standing there.
Officials such as Li Zaiyan and Wei Zheng were in front, and many imperial guards were lined up in military formation behind.
After this, countless people were watching.
They are very serious today, as if they are waiting for something.
Cheng Yaojin also brought Cheng Chumo here today, and his eyes were extremely complicated at this moment.
Cheng Yaojin could never have imagined that Princess Changle, who had praised her husband as "invincible" a few days ago, had actually contracted the incurable disease smallpox.
"Dad, do you think Her Highness... can survive this?" Cheng Chumo said worriedly.
Cheng Yaojin sighed and said helplessly: "I'm afraid this is difficult..."
"Since ancient times, few people have been able to recover from smallpox, and it is almost certain that anyone who gets it will die."
"Poor princess, after all the hard work her husband's talent and knowledge were revealed and he was about to win the title of No. 1 scholar. After all the hard work her husband could finally look up at His Majesty, but she herself... got smallpox."
"This is really... fate playing tricks on us."
Cheng Yaojin let out a breath, lamenting the unfairness of Changle's fate.
“Boom! Boom! Boom!!”
At this time, while waiting, the gate of the Qin Mansion in front slowly opened.
Soon, dozens of people from the Qin Mansion came out, led by Qin Wenyuan.
They were about fifty meters away from the guards in the front.
"Mr. Qin, may I ask your wife, has smallpox been cured?"
Wei Zheng called out loudly.
Hearing this, Qin Wenyuan glanced at Changle, and immediately hugged his wife tightly.
"My wife does have smallpox, and the last few days are indeed her last safe period when she is not contagious."
"Despite this, I don't plan to leave the Qin Mansion. I plan to overcome this difficult time with my wife!"
The words fell.
Changle in his arms suddenly trembled a little, she was moved.
At this moment, Qin Wenyuan did it! He fulfilled the promise he made when he got married!
Either live together or die together, there is no other way!!
Wei Zheng, Li Zai Yan and others in the distance were completely stunned.
They thought that when Qin Wenyuan opened the door today, he was going to bring out everyone except the sick princess.
But……
Qin Wenyuan told them that they would die with Changle! !
Everyone was moved. At this moment, no matter it was Wei Zheng, Cheng Yaojin, or the common people who were watching, everyone was moved!
At this time, Changle faced forward and suddenly said loudly: "Dad, Mom, I have smallpox and can no longer be filial to you. The weather has been cold recently, so remember to take good care of your health. Changle will not be able to take care of you in the future."
"Big brother, second brother, remember to stop quarreling every day and take care of mom. She is in poor health. If you quarrel, she will get sick."
As she spoke, Changle began to choke up.
Wei Zheng and Cheng Yaojin were both in tears. Although they had not had much interaction with Changle before, they were both Changle's uncles and cared about her very much.
At that time, Cheng Yaojin risked his life to help Changle visit Ruyi Tea House. How could he not have any feelings?
This time, Zhangsun Wugou, Li Shimin and other royal family members did not come.
Because Wei Zheng did not dare to tell Li Shimin that his most beloved daughter had contracted smallpox.
If this were said, Li Shimin would not talk about it. Given Changsun Wugou's gentle personality, he would definitely find ways to visit Changle in the Qin Mansion.
Therefore, people who knew the truth, such as Wei Zheng and Cheng Yaojin, all chose to keep it secret.
Changle also knew about this, and the reason why she said this was because...
She knew that Wei Zheng would tell Changsun Wugou and the others his last words!
Changle didn't want to think that she was about to die, but she didn't even have a word left for her father and mother.
"Husband, let's go."
Changle's tears flowed down the corners of her eyes.
Qin Wenyuan nodded, then took Changle's hand and slowly returned to the Qin Mansion.
Xu Gou and a group of people also returned with Qin Wenyuan.
On the way, many servants also walked towards the guards. They were the group of people who did not want to die with Qin Wenyuan.
They fled towards the outside of the Qin Mansion, all with their heads lowered involuntarily, with guilt on their faces , and they didn't dare to look at each other.
But there were still as many as a dozen servants who stood there silently, with madness in their eyes. They quietly found a place to sit down, waiting for Qin Wenyuan to take them back to the Qin Mansion.
Those who stayed behind, even though they knew they would die in the future, chose to fight to the end with Qin Wenyuan.
Just for...
Get that chance for a miracle to happen and completely change your life!
Soon, Qin Wenyuan brought the rest of the people back to the Qin Mansion.
And at the moment when Qin Wenyuan was walking back with Changle in his arms, and as the gate of the Qin Mansion slowly closed, Wei Zheng finally couldn't hold back.
He really values ​​Qin Wenyuan and calls him a peerless talent. Such a talent should not be sent to die like this!!!
"Master Qin! Do we have to stay on this trip?"
Wei Zheng called out loudly again.
As he got older, more tears welled up in his eyes.
He was feeling regretful. He felt regretful that God was jealous of the Tang Dynasty, causing Qin Wenyuan, such a talented person, to die so miserably in the capital of the Tang Dynasty.
Qin Wenyuan paused, then continued to move forward, responding very casually, "I must stay!"
Wei Zheng shouted again.
"What if I never come back?"
Qin Wenyuan laughed, "Then accompany my wife and never come back!!"
The whole place was silent. Even the people of Chang'an who were hiding in the distance and watching were stunned.
Changle, wearing a light yellow dress, looked at Qin Wenyuan's free and easy back with a dull look.
At this moment, my husband seemed to be the...
The most unique man, the one most desired by countless girls!!
"No regrets?"
There was only a tiny gap left in the gate of the Qin Mansion. Wei Zheng let out a final roar, his eyes full of regret.
Qin Wenyuan suddenly raised his head and laughed.
"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!!!!!"
The voice is heroic and free and easy.
"Why should I regret it?"
"Even if I die, so what? I, Qin Wenyuan, only want to have a clear conscience!"
Hearing Qin Wenyuan's words, everyone in the audience was shocked and stood in awe!
Salute to the couple's loyal love!
“Crunch!”
As the last crack of the Qin Mansion's door closed, just when everyone was silent, a loud laugh suddenly rang out.
"Since ancient times, everyone has to die. I will leave my loyalty to shine in history!"
"Hahaha!!!"
Shocked! The entire south gate of the Qin Mansion was in shock!
In the minds of countless people, the conversation between Qin Wenyuan and Wei Zheng, as well as the last line of poetry that resounded through the sky, was echoing!
"Since ancient times, everyone has to die. I will leave my loyalty to shine in history!"
"Good poem! Good poem! Good poem!"
"What kind of broad-mindedness, what kind of righteousness, what kind of fearlessness does one have to be able to write such a poem?"
The entire south gate of the Qin Mansion, countless guards, and many common people were all shocked by the man who walked forward fearlessly.
Even if you know there is a dead end ahead, do you still have to move forward?
Wei Zheng's whole body trembled, his eyes became dull, and then he fell to the ground, tears slowly flowing down.
Gone! Such an unparalleled talent is gone!
At this time, Cheng Yaojin was standing stiffly in place, staring blankly at the closed city gate, his eyes full of complexity.
"What a good person! Since ancient times, everyone has to die, but I will leave my loyalty to shine in history!"
"If he could start over again, I, Old Cheng, would fight for him to marry His Highness in front of His Majesty, even if it meant risking my life!"
Cheng Yaojin talked to himself, but unfortunately, only Cheng Chumo, who was crying beside him, heard his words.
Before, many common people only had hatred towards Qin Wenyuan.
Just because of Qin Wenyuan, the entire Chang'an city was threatened by smallpox.
And now, seeing that Qin Wenyuan actually cared so much about his wife, they... didn't know why, they just couldn't get angry with this man.
"What a pity, what a pity for Qin Wenyuan and his wife. If there were no smallpox, they should be eating peacefully and chatting happily at this time."
"Yes, this damn smallpox! This damn smallpox!!"
"Wow, this Mr. Qin's behavior is really... really touching."
"Alas, I heard that the smallpox outbreak in Wuwei is even worse. Thousands of people have died there, and even the imperial court is almost unable to control it."
The people were talking about it, and the noise was extremely chaotic.
At this moment, because of Qin Wenyuan's behavior, everyone felt angry and resentful.
Everyone is equal in the face of smallpox, and no one can fully guarantee that he or she will not suffer from smallpox in his or her lifetime.
Isn’t Qin Wenyuan’s today their tomorrow?
He was also able to die in such a blazing manner, and be remembered by countless people for the love between him and Changle.
And what about them?
If someone gets smallpox, perhaps not many people will even know that he has died.
Countless people, with more and more resentment in their hearts, began to blame the heavens for treating the Tang Dynasty in this way! !
"Merciless Heaven!!"
Finally, a howl filled with despair was heard.
No one knew where this voice came from, and no one cared where it came from.
This sound, like a flame, keeps spreading, keeps spreading...
Until the momentum spreads to the hearts of all the people.
"Merciless Heaven!!"
"Merciless Heaven!!"
The shouts, never uniform, gradually became more and more uniform, louder and more majestic, and spread far away, as if they could cut through everything.
Even Cheng Yaojin, Wei Zheng and other Tang officials were shocked at this moment by the people's complaints expressed in four neat words.
Cheng Yaojin, who was of a strong character, couldn't stop his tears from flowing.
As a general, he could accept dying in battle or being assassinated by an enemy country, which showed that he could sacrifice himself and die for the Tang Dynasty.
But he... couldn't accept the disease, couldn't accept such a cowardly way of dying!!
Suddenly, Cheng Yaojin also joined the shouting that reached the sky.
He let out all the frustration in his heart, all his dissatisfaction with smallpox, all his despair and unwillingness, all in a roar.
In this era of despair over smallpox, this was the only emotional outlet that these helpless people could give.
I hate this sky, I hate this earth, I hate everything about it!
at the same time.
On the second floor of a restaurant, a man in black robe watched all the changes with cold eyes.
He is the culprit who caused Changle to contract smallpox, Yuheng!
From the moment the Qin Mansion opened its doors to the moment the people expressed their hatred for the world, everything was in full view.
"I never thought that Qin Wenyuan would choose to die for his wife. This time it really is..."
"It's really stupid."
Yuheng exclaimed with great admiration.
Even now, there is still some surprise in his eyes.
Perhaps, he couldn't imagine that a smart man like Qin Wenyuan would not take his own life seriously?
Or perhaps, he compared Qin Wenyuan to himself as the same type of people who would do anything to win and would abandon everything that could be used around them for the sake of their own lives.
And now, Yuheng finally confirmed that he and Qin Wenyuan were not the same kind of people.
In his opinion, competing with people of similar abilities is like playing chess, with both sides going back and forth, which is normal.
Just like Qin Wenyuan killed Beiye, he killed Qin Wenyuan's wife.
If he were to ask himself, if his loved ones were framed by Qin Wenyuan and contracted smallpox, he would also be in pain, but he would not accompany them to death.
He thought Qin Wenyuan would be the same, so before today, he kept thinking about how to deal with Qin Wenyuan next.
And now...
It's no longer needed.
Because Qin Wenyuan chose death himself!
"master."
At this time, Dong Kun, who was slightly behind Yu Heng, came up and said with a bow, "Bei Ye entered the Qin Mansion a few days ago, but until now, there has been no news from him."
"You say, will Kitano..."
Yuheng smiled and shook his head, "He is probably dead."
"At the beginning, I reminded him that Qin Wenyuan was too smart and should not be underestimated."
"But Beiye is too arrogant and doesn't take Qin Wenyuan seriously at all. Qin Wenyuan invited him to the Qin Mansion... to visit his base camp, but Beiye, who is not good at martial arts, actually dared to go there."
"He didn't take his life seriously, so he died."
"Little did they know that in Qin Wenyuan's eyes, Beiye himself was nothing more than a clown."
Yuheng's voice was helpless and full of indifference.
Hearing this, Dong Kun took a deep breath. To be honest, he was very sad about the death of his comrade.
But soon, he calmed down and continued to ask: "Then...then what should we do next?"
"Wait." Yuheng said lightly.
"Wait?" Dong Kun frowned. He really didn't understand why he had to wait.
Yuheng explained: "When smallpox appeared in Chang'an City, the court focused most of its efforts on solving the problem at the beginning."
"So now, they will still focus most of their energy on the Qin Mansion. They will not transfer their strength to other places until they are sure that Qin Wenyuan and his group are completely dead."
"We also need to confirm whether Qin Wenyuan is really dead, so on this point, the court's actions coincide with our thoughts ."
Dong Kun suddenly realized: "So, we don't need to do anything these days, we just have to wait?"
Yuheng did not answer, but nodded.
Then, he said, "During the days when Qin Wenyuan's death has not been confirmed, Chang'an City should be relatively peaceful. Dongkun, if you have anything to do, hurry up and complete it."
"otherwise……"
Yu Heng paused, narrowed his eyes and said, "When Qin Wenyuan and his group are dead, that will be the moment when the Tang Dynasty will show its fangs."
"After the threat of smallpox is eliminated, they will frantically and at all costs look for who brought smallpox into Chang'an City."
"By then, everyone in Chang'an will be in danger again."
Dong Kun took a deep breath, as if he sensed that a storm was coming.
"Master, what should we do with Liu Fu? Will he really not leak our information?" Dong Kun asked.
Until now, he is still a little worried.
Liu Fu was like a depth charge, stuck in his throat.
After all, all of Liu Fu's family members were dead, and the only means to check and balance Liu Fu was completely gone.
But Yu Heng didn't care and said, "Don't worry, Liu Fu won't tell us. I, your master, know his character very well."
"his words……"
Yu Heng narrowed his eyes and said, "Lu Dinghai will be betrayed, and our Lu family's third son will also attract all attention for us."
"Lu Dinghai's move has reached the most critical moment. He will become our scapegoat."
"This is also the reason why I tried my best not to offend Lu Dinghai before."
"Even if Lu Dinghai points us out in the end, I have already had people erase all traces of our actions. There is no way they can find us."
"In the end, people will think that Lu Dinghai, who brought smallpox into Chang'an City, has gone insane."
Dong Kun's body trembled. He had always believed that his master was too polite to Lu Dinghai, which was not like his original style.
It turns out that the intention has always been here!
What a good plan!
This afternoon, Dongkun and Yuheng talked a lot.
The topics they talked about covered all aspects, except...
There was no discussion of the possibility that Qin Wenyuan could cure smallpox.
…
Not to mention Chang'an City, at this time inside the Qin Mansion, after Qin Wenyuan made a complete decision, they all took action.
The number of people who remain...
The Dog, the Rabbit, the Sheep, Hu Guang, and eleven servants.
This is the team that is willing to accompany Qin at the last moment and risk their lives.
Before everyone took up their respective duties, Qin Wenyuan took a deep look at everyone. Originally there were more than thirty servants, but now there were only eleven left.
Among these eleven people, except Xiaolin, who served Changle personally, Qin Wenyuan had no impression of the rest.
Looking at these people, Qin Wenyuan said: "Our Qin Mansion will not be destroyed, we will not die, and we will not become eternal sinners. On the contrary, we will become legends of the Tang Dynasty!"
"Master..."
A servant suddenly walked out from the crowd with a determined look on his face. He said loudly, "I am not afraid of death. From the day I entered the Qin Mansion, I have regarded this place as my home. I am not afraid of death..."
"Yes... I'm not afraid of death either!!"
"We swear to live and die together with the Qin family!!"
The crowd was like gunpowder meeting a spark, ignited and exploded in an instant.
"We swear to live and die together with the Qin family!!"
"We swear to live and die together with the Qin family!!"
Listening to these shouts, Qin Wenyuan took a deep breath.
Perhaps, this was the servants' way of showing their loyalty, and their hearts were constantly trembling.
Or perhaps, their loyalty to the Qin family is far less than what they say.
But Qin Wenyuan had to admit that they were the craziest gamblers!
And Qin Wenyuan is not stingy with these servants.
As long as they defeat smallpox, no one in this world will dare to bully them anymore.
This is also the promise he made!
The craziest gambler, if he wins, deserves the craziest reward!
He looked at everyone deeply again, and then said: "Everyone, we can definitely defeat smallpox!"
When everyone heard this, confidence flashed in their eyes.
Those who were not confident in Qin Wenyuan had already left the Qin Mansion just now.
They looked at Qin Wenyuan, who was bathed in the sunlight. He was silent but full of absolute confidence, as if no difficulties could completely defeat him.
"We will definitely win!!"
Everyone said firmly.
A quarter of an hour later, the excitement of the crowd gradually subsided.
Qin Wenyuan chuckled and immediately looked at Xiaolin, "Xiaolin, my wife has been in pain recently. I'd like to trouble you to take care of her daily life."
Upon hearing this, Xiaolin immediately stepped forward and held Changle's hand, "I understand, Master."
At this moment, Changle is suffering from smallpox and may infect people around him at any time.
But since these people have decided to stay in the Qin Mansion, they have completely put life and death aside.
Therefore, no one will dislike Changle!
When she was about to be taken away by Xiaolin, Changle suddenly said, "Husband, you..."
She hesitated to speak, as if she didn't know what to say.
