Chapter 90: A day that was admired by all people and recorded in history
When seeing Li Jing, for some reason, countless people felt like they were facing a killing god.
In an instant, I was on the battlefield and witnessed what it meant to kill a hundred people with one step.
In addition, the Tang Dynasty had been peaceful for a long time, and many young people of this generation in Chang'an City had never been to the battlefield. They were completely shocked by the murderous aura of Li Jing and the iron-bloodedness of his army.
Even the older citizens of Chang'an were slightly shocked at this moment, and their hearts suddenly accelerated.
They all looked up to the living and long-standing patron saint of the Tang Dynasty, Li Jing.
I really feel an unprecedented sense of peace in my heart.
"General Li, the great Lord of Heaven!!"
"Wow, General Li, please help us eliminate the smallpox threat at the Qin Mansion as soon as possible. We haven't been able to sleep well these past few days because they are still here."
"Please General Li, save us!!"
The people cried and begged Li Jing to completely eradicate the smallpox threat today.
Li Jing listened to these shouts and said in a loud voice: "Everyone, today will be a day of peace for you all!"
Li Jing's words were solemn and full of heavy promises.
In an instant, ten people formed a group, and ten people told a hundred people, and the message was passed on.
Countless people knew that today Li Jing was going to eliminate harm for the people and completely eradicate the potential smallpox danger in the Qin Mansion for the countless innocent people in Chang'an City! !
Li Jing led his army and marched towards Qin's mansion in full view of the public.
Finally, half an hour later, they arrived near the Qin Mansion.
When Wei Zheng saw Li Jing coming as promised, and saw countless people following him who shared the same hatred for the enemy, he immediately understood that today's situation belonged to Li Jing!
He wants to use the people's support to completely eradicate the Qin family!
"Alas, such great talents are unable to serve our Tang Dynasty."
Wei Zheng glanced at the Qin Mansion with a sigh, then went forward to greet Li Jing.
He came to Li Jing and asked, "General Li, is today's incident really...really unsolvable?"
Li Jing glanced at Wei Zheng and said calmly, "Sir Wei, you are known for your impartiality, why are you so indecisive in front of smallpox?"
"Even though the people inside are this year's top scholar and Her Royal Highness the Princess, they are of noble status."
"But you and I both know that even the most powerful people are as weak as babies in front of smallpox."
"Besides... I, Li Jing, am not a heartless person. If the people inside could really cure smallpox, they would have come out within these ten days. If they don't come out, it means... that the fight against smallpox has failed."
Upon hearing this, Wei Zheng sighed and said, "Yes, but... but if a man of such patriotic talent as Young Master Qin can survive, it will only be a matter of time before our Tang Dynasty builds up under his advice and becomes strong."
“What a pity… What a pity…”
At the end of his speech, Wei Zheng shook his head again, probably because he couldn't bear to see Qin Wenyuan die.
Li Jing saw this and sighed, "I can only say that God is jealous of talented people."
Then, after some communication, Wei Zheng and Li Jing reached an agreement.
Li Jing looked at the Qin Mansion in the distance, took a deep breath, and his breathing became heavy.
Immediately, he turned around and said solemnly: "All soldiers, take your positions! Let us send the smallpox patient from the Qin Mansion away!"
"yes!"
"yes!"
"yes!"
The five thousand soldiers responded with sonorous and powerful voices, as if they were one.
The voice became louder and louder, and finally, it seemed to transform into a will, infecting the shouts of the people behind him.
Hearing this loud bell-like voice, all the people fell silent and watched this iron-blooded army in silence.
“Boom! Boom! Boom!!”
As Li Jing's order was implemented, the infantry at the front of the army suddenly took the first step forward.
Hundreds and thousands of infantrymen changed their formations with the rumbling sound of their footsteps moving in unison, and moved forward rapidly, almost forming was extremely spectacular.
This is the army that the people of the Tang Dynasty are most proud of since its founding!
Following closely behind, neatly organized archery troops, with countless soldiers marching forward, bows and arrows in their hands and various arrows on their backs, moved forward step by step.
Further back, was the logistics army in charge of logistics. They were a continuous stretch, wearing pure black standard soft armor, like a black torrent moving across the earth.
Today the logistics army has only one task, which is to provide arrows to the archery troops.
They will launch a saturation bow and arrow attack on the Qin Mansion for up to half an hour.
It might be a waste to use so many bows and arrows to deal with more than a dozen people.
But Li Jing said, they have plenty of bows and arrows.
But people are unique!
Therefore, they shall shoot with all their arrows.
The purpose was to give the people of Chang'an a visual shock, to reassure them that there were no smallpox patients in the Qin Mansion, and that they could no longer threaten Chang'an City! !
at last.
They are iron-blooded and cold-faced deputy generals who will be responsible for all situations in each small area.
The moment this army advanced, the entire earth began to tremble at the same time.
The rumbling sound continued to spread, making countless people feel more at ease.
Finally, everyone was completely in place.
A deputy general hurriedly rode his horse towards Li Jing. When he arrived in front of Li Jing, he bowed and said, "General, the brothers are in place and are waiting for your order."
"Um."
Li Jing nodded, still resting his eyes, and did not give the order to shoot arrows. He just closed his eyes and rested quietly.
Others did not dare to disturb him and were all silently waiting for the next order from the military god of the Tang Dynasty.
A quarter of an hour passed and Li Jing still did not make any move.
No one in his army showed the slightest dissatisfaction. They stared at the scorching sun and quietly stayed at their posts.
Another quarter of an hour passed, and Li Jing still showed no change.
A deputy general finally couldn't help it anymore, and rode over and asked, "General, when are we going to release the arrows?"
Li Jing said calmly, "That day, I made a ten-day agreement with Lord Wei, which was at noon."
"A ten-day agreement means a ten-day agreement. Not a moment more or less will do."
"There are still two quarters of an hour until the hour of Wei. After two quarters of an hour, it will be time for us to shoot arrows and eradicate smallpox in Chang'an!"
Upon hearing this, the deputy general nodded and said, "I understand, General."
Time passes by every second.
Two quarters of an hour passed in the blink of an eye.
Finally, the agreed time arrived.
Li Jing also opened his eyes, staring fiercely at the Qin Mansion in front of him, and whispered to himself: "Qin Zhuangyuan, Your Highness Changle, please don't blame Li Jing, you two, have a safe journey..."
Li Jing shook his head helplessly, then quickly drew out his sword.
With a "swish" sound, the sharp sword was unsheathed!
However, just as he was about to give the order to shoot arrows, something unusual happened in the Qin Mansion ahead.
“Boom…boom…boom…boom…”
The door, which had become a little dull because it had not been maintained for a long time, slowly opened.
There was movement in the Qin Mansion, which had been silent for ten days!
Li Jing was stunned as he looked at the Qin Mansion's gate that moved slightly.
The same thing happened to Wei Zheng, the thousands of soldiers surrounding the Qin Palace, and the common people who were still watching...
They didn't know why the gate of Qin Mansion moved at this time?
Could it be...
Have the people inside heard the news, so they plan to burn their boats and rush out to infect them?
"Everyone, take your positions. If anyone from the Qin residence dares to rush out, shoot them with arrows immediately," Li Jing ordered.
"Yes!" Five thousand soldiers responded in unison.
Soon, accompanied by the creaking sound of the door opening and people's nervous heartbeats, the gate of the Qin Mansion slowly opened, and the faces of the people inside appeared one by one.
The first to bear the brunt was Qin Wenyuan, and then Changle provided, the dog...
Except for Qin Wenyuan, each of them looked extremely weak, but they were trying hard to stand up.
Wei Zheng took a look and was shocked.
Changle, the scary rash on his hands has shown signs of fading and is no longer as complicated as when we met ten days ago.
this……
Could it be...
Did Master Qin really cure smallpox as he said?
Wei Zheng was very excited, and an idea that no one agreed with emerged in his mind.
And at this moment, Li Jingce went there immediately.
"General, no! According to intelligence, there are people in the Qin Mansion who have severe smallpox. Don't get close!" A deputy general stopped them.
Li Jing did not answer, but came to the front of the army and looked at the people from the Qin Mansion from a distance of fifty meters.
"Mr. Qin, I am the Minister of War Li Jing. What's the matter with you opening the door of my mansion today?" Li Jing asked loudly.
Qin Wenyuan, who was far away, glanced around. Being a smart man, he vaguely guessed what Li Jing was going to do today from the surrounding layout.
But he remained calm and said calmly: "Everyone in my Qin Mansion has completely cured smallpox."
"From now on, the horrible disease of smallpox will no longer be a nightmare!!"
"The threat he has posed to our Han land for thousands of years must be eradicated!"
As soon as the words fell, there was a deathly silence in the field.
Just a few words, just a few words, made everyone present fall into silence!
Qin Wenyuan's voice was very calm and ordinary, but the content contained in it was like a thunderbolt, constantly echoing in everyone's heart, making a roar that only they knew.
It was like the sound of Buddha, resounding between heaven and earth.
Smallpox...cured...
"Smallpox, cured...cured? Really cured?" Unbelievable and horrified voices rang out: "How...how is this possible!!"
"Smallpox has been cured. Is this true? Has this incurable disease that has lasted for thousands of years really been cured?"
"I...I'm dreaming!!"
One by one, the people began to react slowly, exclaiming in surprise, and putting all their energy into understanding this sentence.
Li Jing also stood there in a daze for a long time, and he didn't even notice that the sword in his hand, which he regarded as his life, fell to the ground.
His eyes were confused, and for the first time, ripples appeared in his calm heart.
He kept murmuring, "Is smallpox...really cured?"
Everyone was completely shocked by this sentence, except Wei Zheng!
Only Wei Zheng, who had always believed that Qin Wenyuan was a talented person, showed no signs of abnormality on the surface, but in his heart, he was already dancing with excitement.
And in the next moment, Qin Wenyuan presented even more powerful evidence.
He and Changle exchanged a glance, and the couple immediately understood each other. With Qin Wenyuan's support, Changle said loudly: "General Li, ten days ago, I contracted smallpox together with a family in Chang'an, and my condition is even more critical than theirs."
"May I ask, what is their current situation?"
Li Jing came to his senses after hearing this. He looked at the miniature Qin Wenyuan and his wife in front of him and said respectfully, "He is unconscious and has a rash all over his body. According to the diagnosis of Imperial Doctor Sun, he will return to the Tang Dynasty within three days."
Changle took a deep breath and said, "Then, normally speaking, shouldn't I be standing here, but unconscious like them?"
Li Jing nodded subconsciously, and then reacted and said: "This may be... related to personal physique... right?"
In the end, even he himself didn't believe it.
Because the person in front of him was His Highness Changle, and he knew this best.
Your Highness, you have been living a life of luxury since childhood and have never practiced martial arts. In terms of your physique, how can you be better than someone who often does farm work?
At this moment, Changle walked past Qin Wenyuan and took a step forward alone.
She opened her sleeves, revealing her delicate hands. "My rash is cured!"
There were numerous marks on her delicate jade hands, but they were scars similar to those left after healing from injuries, and the overall surface was extremely smooth.
Seeing this, Li Jing was completely shocked!
Everyone behind him was also shocked.
Smallpox. As the patient has smallpox for a longer time, the most obvious symptom is that the rash becomes more and more numerous and uglier.
It would not be an exaggeration to even spread it all over the body.
But Changle has no rash...
This... every fact told them that Changle's smallpox was really cured! !
After all, even patients who recovered from smallpox naturally would not be without a rash.
But how is this possible?
What is smallpox!
Smallpox is a disease that has killed countless people for thousands of years in Chinese history!
In front of it, even the strongest people are as weak as babies.
They are disasters, ghosts and gods, like invincible mountains, towering in the history of China, making countless doctors shudder at the mention of them.
Wuwei has now become the back garden of the smallpox disease, and it is reported that at least two thousand soldiers and civilians die from smallpox every day.
smallpox!
It is truly so powerful that it makes countless human beings tremble with fear.
But at this moment, Qin Wenyuan was telling them that he, Qin Wenyuan, had defeated smallpox as an ordinary person without relying on any power from the Tang Empire! !
Li Jing could no longer sit still. With his lips trembling, he turned around and shouted, "Call Dr. Sun immediately and ask him to come over for a diagnosis. Remember, this is a matter of urgency!"
"promise."
A group of soldiers quickly took orders and brought Sun Simiao, who was resting in the logistics area, over.
Sun Simiao came here with excitement because the soldiers told him that smallpox had been cured!
This demon, the mountain that had been insurmountable for him in his life, was eliminated!
Li Jing quickly said, "Doctor Sun, I'm sorry..."
Sun Simiao immediately interrupted and said, "General Li, please let me pass. I have personally witnessed this scene that is worthy of being recorded in the annals of history."
"I...I want to be the first witness!"
Li Jing was stunned for a moment, then nodded heavily and said, "I'm sorry, Doctor Sun. If anyone in the Qin Mansion lies about curing smallpox, I will... shoot thousands of arrows through their hearts to avenge you."
Sun Simiao said unconcernedly, "I have lived long enough."
After saying that, a man immediately walked towards Qin Wenyuan and others.
This distance of more than fifty meters seems very close.
But whether in the eyes of Li Jing, Wei Zheng, or thousands of ordinary people, it seemed as if they were saying goodbye to the past.
Say goodbye to the self who was once afraid of smallpox.
People stood there trembling in fear. They were afraid to hear Sun Simiao say that Qin Wenyuan was lying and that smallpox had not actually been cured.
Under the eager gazes of countless people, Sun Simiao came to Qin Wenyuan and his wife.
"Mr. Qin, please allow me to take your wife's pulse." Sun Simiao said excitedly.
When facing Qin Wenyuan, he did not have the arrogance of a senior, but instead humbled himself a little.
In front of Qin Wenyuan, I don’t call him “old man”, but “I”, because I want to respect Qin Wenyuan from the bottom of my heart.
Qin Wenyuan nodded and said, "Excuse me, Doctor Sun. My wife has just recovered from smallpox. We cannot afford to make any big moves. I hope Doctor Sun will pay attention to my wife's health."
Changle complained: "Husband, I don't..."
She stopped talking halfway because she saw Qin Wenyuan's death-like gaze.
He just shrank his neck and said, "Doctor Sun, thank you for your help."
Sun Simiao nodded quickly and said in a serious tone: "Madam Qin, please forgive me for my offense."
Changle smiled gently and stretched out her jade hand for Sun Simiao to feel her pulse.
Sun Simiao examined for a long time. He did not dare to be careless when facing smallpox.
While waiting, more and more people gathered near the Qin Mansion. Word spread from one person to ten, and from ten to a hundred. Everyone knew that Qin Wenyuan seemed to have cured smallpox, an incurable disease that had existed for thousands of years.
Everyone was excitedly waiting for the review results of the imperial physician Sun Simiao.
Finally, half an hour later, a tear ran down Sun Simiao's old face.
He bowed deeply to Qin Wenyuan in front of him and said, "I, Sun Simiao, pay my respects to the world's greatest doctor!!"
"Thank you, Mr. Qin, for curing the smallpox for... for our Tang Dynasty!"
He was so excited that tears welled up in his eyes, and even his words were stuttering because of excitement.
The people behind him saw Sun Simiao's actions and couldn't help themselves at this moment, and they all started to shout loudly.
"I... I was really a beast before, worse than pigs and dogs. I... I actually dared to tell Divine Doctor Qin to die!!"
"Wow, Doctor Qin, he actually cured the smallpox, he...he..."
"Dr. Qin, I admit that I am not a human! I have cursed you dozens of times before, and now I slap myself in the face. I... No, this is not enough. Tonight I will go to the pottery shop in the south of the city and ask them to make a sculpture of you for me. From now on, I will kneel down and worship you every day!"
"The greatest doctor of all time, the greatest doctor of all time!!"
Some people had tears in their eyes, while others could not bear this huge psychological change and burst into tears, hugging their compatriots.
Li Jing couldn't help it at this moment.
His eyes were red, and he looked at the boy in front of him, feeling extremely guilty.
If it weren't for his punctuality, Qin Wenyuan... such a great talent would have died under thousands of arrows! !
And smallpox will once again exist in the world.
For the first time, Li Jing felt scared. As the military god of the Tang Dynasty, he knelt down heavily on the spot without caring about any consequences.
"Li Jing, the criminal, thanks Master Qin for curing the evil smallpox for the people of the world!!"
The words fell.
Next, something unexpected happened.
The five thousand soldiers who surrounded the Qin Mansion threw away their weapons and knelt down to Qin Wenyuan at the same time.
"Thank you, Master Qin..."
"Thank you, Master Qin..."
"Thank you, Master Qin..."
The shouts of the soldiers grew louder and louder, filled with unprecedented excitement.
Finally, as if they were infected, all the people who came to watch behind him also knelt down before Qin Wenyuan.
Countless civilians and soldiers were so excited that their eyes were filled with tears, and they looked at the young man in front of them with full admiration.
At this moment, Qin Wenyuan enjoyed a treatment that was completely jaw-dropping!
As far as he could see, no one was standing, and countless people were kneeling before him.
He really did it, a treatment that only the current Emperor Li Shimin can enjoy!
This is what Li Jing owes him, this is what the soldiers who were originally prepared to fight Qin Wenyuan owe him, and this is what the people who were vicious to Qin Wenyuan owe him.
This is what the people owe him, and this is also... what the Tang Dynasty owes him.
