Water Margin people

"General, should we go out?"

The accompanying soldier looked at Wu Yong and asked.

"Of course not. Whoever caused the trouble should solve it. We are not their parents, so there is no need to get involved in everything!"

Wu Yong said.

Wu Yong stood on the city wall and looked coldly at everything below the city. The people sent by the city lord were separating the crowd. Because the Black Death had appeared outside the city, those civilians now only wanted to enter the safe city.

"Humph, there really is a problem!"

Wu Yong looked at the soldiers shouting and beating civilians, his eyes full of mockery.

If the Black Death really broke out, these soldiers would not dare to leave the city like this, let alone get so close to civilians outside the city. When they first came to Venice, these soldiers were horrified when talking about the Black Death, and would hide themselves when asked to deal with something.

Now the soldiers are so confident, obviously they know it is safe outside the city. The result is obvious. The city lord and his men are well aware of the Black Death.

"Since you want to die, then let you die. Although my Qi State is merciful, it also has thunderous means!"

Wu Yong thought to himself.

He knew that this was because they had been too merciful before and saved people regardless of the cost, which made the locals think that all this was as it should be and that Qi should save them if the Black Death came again.

But the State of Qi had never been kind to such foreigners. In the beginning, it saved these people at all costs in order to build its reputation and let the whole West know that the State of Qi had the ability to control the Black Death and cure the Black Death. But it was not Qi's responsibility to save them.

Wu Yong looked at the riot outside the city without saying a word, just watching everything coldly.

"General Wu, apart from the five patients with the Black Death, no other people were found. Those people came here secretly..."

The city lord looked at Wu Yong and spoke.

"Oh, so that's how it is? I understand!"

After Wu Yong finished speaking, he took his men away. He not only took the soldiers away, but also the doctors.

"What does it mean?"

The city lord and others were watching all this in astonishment. Although the Black Death was under control, the doctors in Qi were still very busy these days. All kinds of difficult and complicated diseases of the civilians here were treated, and many diseases that were previously untreatable were cured.

This earned the Qi doctor the reputation of a miracle doctor, who was hailed as a messenger sent by the gods.

"Why are you all gone?"

The nobles were also stunned. They didn't know what Wu Yong meant. Was he going to solve the problem or not? Why didn't he give any explanation?

At the pier.

"Wu Yong, why did you suddenly call us back? We still have a few speeches to give today!"

Zhu Xi looked at Wu Yong and asked. At this time, Zhu Xi and others also gathered at the dock.

"Something went wrong. Let's gather first."

Wu Yong didn't say much and led everyone back to the island.

"Have you checked it out?"

Yue Fei looked at Wu Yong and asked.

"Those people staged this themselves. They probably thought we were having it too easy and wanted to create some trouble for us."

Wu Yong said.

"What? Are they so bold?"

Lu Jiuling was a little bit unconvinced. These Westerners were very stupid and very pious. They would never do such a thing.

"What's the big deal? Man is evil by nature!"

Zhu Xi said nonchalantly that he never doubted the evil of human nature.

"No matter what they do, if they want to die, let them die. If you treat them too well, they will think it's their due!"

Wu Yong said.

"Let me tell you something. The enemy is coming and our reinforcements are also coming. Everyone has worked hard during this period. We have done what we should do. It's time to rest for a while."

Yue Fei looked at everyone and said.

"The enemy is coming?" Zhu Xi and others' faces changed slightly. This was not good news. The believers they had just stabilized might flee in all directions because of the war, and it would be difficult to gather together again at that time.

The people of Qi evacuated completely and all returned to the island within one day.

This made the people in Venice panic. They had just heard that the Black Death had broken out outside the city again, and then they saw the people of Qi evacuating. Panic began to spread.

"what happened?"

Baldwin IV, who had just returned, frowned as he looked at the terrified civilians. How could things become like this after only being away for two days?

"Mr. Missionary, there is another outbreak of the Black Death outside the city! Qi's army and doctors have all left! Have we been abandoned again?"

The panic-stricken civilians surrounded Baldwin IV, trying to grasp this last straw.

"How could there be another Black Death?"

Baldwin IV's face darkened. How could the Black Death, which had been so hard to control, appear again?

"Don't be afraid, the Qi army and the doctors haven't left. Look, their ships are still there!"

Baldwin IV pointed at the Qi ships near the islands and said that as long as the ships were there, the Qi army would not leave.

After pacifying the civilians for a while, Baldwin IV came to the dock and wanted to take a boat to the island.

However, the Qi soldiers at the dock directly refused his approach, and it could be said that no one was allowed to approach.

"I want to see General Yue Fei!"

Baldwin IV said.

"Sorry, my Qi army and medical team are tired and need to rest for a few days!"

The general sitting at the dock spoke.

Unable to land on the island, Baldwin IV could only go to the city lord.

At this time, the city lord and others sat there with gloomy faces and did not speak.

"My Lord, what happened?"

Baldwin IV looked at the city lord and asked.

Naturally, the city lord did not dare to tell the truth and just perfunctorily responded with words he had prepared long ago.

"Is that so? As far as I know, it's impossible for outsiders to get close to the city!"

Baldwin IV looked at everyone and asked, if such a lie couldn't even fool him, how could it possibly fool the State of Qi?

"How would we know? So many people come here every day!"

The nobles spoke up.

"I don't want to argue with you about this. You know what you did! But I want to tell you that the Papal States has already brought troops here!"

Baldwin IV looked at the city lord and others and spoke.

"What? So fast?"

The faces of the city lord and others changed. The arrival of the troops of the Papal State meant that the troops of other kingdoms would soon arrive as well. Their Kingdom of Venice had been surrounded.

"how many people?"

The city lord looked at Baldwin IV and asked.

"The Papal State sent 15,000 troops, the Kingdom of Sicily sent 20,000 troops, the Republic of Pisa sent 5,000 troops, and the Republic of Ancona sent 5,000 troops!"

Baldwin IV said that the Holy See had mobilized all the troops it could from the peninsula.

"Oh no! The countries outside the mountains must be sending troops!"

Someone yelled.

"That's for sure, they should have agreed on a time!"

Baldwin IV didn't understand why the man reacted so strongly. Shouldn't this be common sense?

"It's over! It's over!"

The merchants were in deep sorrow. They had sent a caravan out, and they must have encountered the enemy. The enemy would not show mercy. They had lost both their wife and their troops. (End of this chapter)
