Datang: Ten Years of Proton, Leading an Army of Millions to Return

"You...you guys help me! Help...me! Help me inform your Majesty, okay?"

The King of Goguryeo gave up his last dignity in the face of life and even changed his self-proclaimed name.

It's really a desperate move. Do you really think Li Kuan didn't hear it? He just doesn't want to care.

How could they, as mere soldiers, influence Li Kuan's thoughts?

The King of Goguryeo's face was covered with herpes, which was terrifying. Even though Li Kuan had told them that those who had the disease would be immune to smallpox for life, the soldiers were still a little wary of the King of Goguryeo. However, due to their status, they could not push him away.

Looking at the once glorious king in front of them, the soldiers felt a little reluctant and tried to persuade him with good intentions.

"Go back and don't bother here."

When the King of Goguryeo heard the soldier's answer, his already gloomy face suddenly became lifeless, and his hand slowly slid from the soldier's armor.

Just when the King of Goguryeo wanted to say something else, the door of Li Kuan's mansion opened with a creaky sound.

The King of Goguryeo looked back with surprise, and his desperate eyes were suddenly filled with hope.

It's Li Kuan! Li Kuan came to save me!
"Li...why is it you?"

The King of Goguryeo turned his head and saw not the person he was looking for, but the old demon Cheng.

"Why can't it be me? I'm giving you face by coming out to see you."

Old demon Cheng looked at the person in front of him, covered his nose and stepped back, his eyes full of disgust, and was afraid that he would get a serious illness.

"Where's Li... Li Kuan! Please... please, save me!"

The King of Goguryeo could not help but want to step forward and grab the trouser legs of the old demon Cheng and beg him as planned, thinking that this way Li Kuan would not ignore him.

But how could old demon Cheng let him succeed? He immediately took a few steps back and shouted loudly.

"Don't come over here! If you dare to take another step forward, I will close this window for you!"

Upon hearing this, the King of Goguryeo immediately stopped, but due to his illness, he could only cling weakly to the door.

"Then, then Li Kuan, when will he come out to rescue me?"

The King of Goguryeo still refused to give up.

"He's not coming out."

Old goblin Cheng frowned and kept backing away as he spoke. He really disliked the Goguryeo King in front of him, who was tattered and had herpes all over his face.

Upon hearing this, the hope in the eyes of the King of Goguryeo dimmed again, but he still did not give up and wanted to move towards Li Kuan's mansion, wanting to rush in to find Li Kuan.

"Hey! Hey! What are you doing? You two, hurry up and catch him for me. Don't let him get close to me!"

The old demon Cheng was frightened by the action of the Goguryeo king, and quickly ordered the soldiers outside the door to push the Goguryeo king out.
Soldiers who have received orders,
He did not dare to hold back any longer and immediately stepped forward to push back the King of Goguryeo who was about to charge forward.

The King of Goguryeo tried to break free from the control of the soldiers, but the already weak King of Goguryeo was no match for the strong soldiers and was pushed out of the door in an instant.
"What are you doing! Let me go! Do you know who I am? How dare you do that to me!"

The King of Goguryeo's remaining dignity burst out at this moment. He never expected that he would have such a miserable day.

The soldiers looked at each other, but still did not dare to let go of the hands of the Goguryeo King. After all, no one wanted to be beaten by General Cheng.

"Okay, what are you grumbling about? Do you really think this is your doorstep? Li Kuan asked you to come back in two days, so you should just go back today."

When the old demon saw that the King of Goguryeo was subdued, his expression relaxed, but he was still unwilling to step forward to speak to the King of Goguryeo. He leaned his hands behind his back, frowned, and told Li Qiu what he meant.

The King of Goguryeo was such a shrewd man, how could he not understand the intention of the old demon Cheng to send his guests away, but he was unwilling to accept it.

"Two days later... two days later! I'm sick, and I'm afraid I won't survive two days. General Cheng, can you please ask Li Kuan for me, please?"

When the King of Goguryeo heard that Li Kuan was willing to see him only after two days, he became anxious.

He immediately opened his collar, revealing dense blisters.

The two soldiers who were holding the Goguryeo King, no matter how strong their determination was, could not help but change their expressions. But their profession did not allow them to let go, otherwise... it would not be as simple as getting beaten.

When the old demon Cheng saw the King of Goguryeo like this, he turned his gaze away with disgust.

"Come back in two days. That kid said you won't come in two days. Don't be so pretentious. Come on, show me around."

After saying this, the old demon Cheng locked the door of Li's Mansion without looking back, and did not give the King of Goguryeo another chance to speak.

"You'd better please come back."

When the soldiers saw that the old demon Cheng had closed the door, they quickly loosened their hands on the King of Goguryeo. After all, everyone thought the King of Goguryeo was unlucky.

The King of Goguryeo lost his support and fell to the ground.

But at this moment his heart was full of hope. In two days, he would be saved.

Yes, that’s right, it only takes two days!
The King of Goguryeo seemed very satisfied with this answer. He did not insist any further and went back holding the wall.

……

On the other side, in the Jiuxiang Tower, two little kids were eating happily.

To be precise, Xiao Yuanyuan was the only one who was enjoying the meal the most.

"Sister Changle, why don't you eat? The pork elbows in this restaurant are delicious. My brother-in-law brought me here to eat!"

Little Yuanyuan was holding a big pork elbow in one hand, her face was covered with greasy marks. The fat from the pork elbow flowed down her tender little hands, and she looked like a little beauty eating.

But at this moment, Changle looked at the little Yuanyuan in front of him and found that he had no appetite at all. Changle was very worried.

If Guo Shoujing and Li Kuan knew that I brought Xiao Yuanyuan out to cause trouble, they would definitely not forgive me.

"Xiao Yuanyuan! Are you full? It's time for us to go back, otherwise..."

Before Changle could finish his words, Xiao Yuanyuan interrupted him.

"Yeah, yeah... I know, I know. Otherwise, I'll be scolded by my stinky brother-in-law!"

Xiao Yuanyuan took a bite of the elbow and added vaguely and perfunctorily to what Changle was about to say.

After all, Sister Changle repeats those few sentences every day! She almost memorized them!

But responding is one thing, and going back is another!

At least wait until she is full!

"Ugh!"

Changle sighed and said nothing more. After all, she knew what Xiaoyuanyuan was thinking, but she couldn't do anything about Xiaoyuanyuan, because Xiaoyuanyuan was so cute.

Now we can only wait until this little brat is full before we can communicate with him!

……

Two days later.

"Save...save the widow..."

The King of Goguryeo went to keep the two-day appointment. Even if Li Kuan might have just said a few words to get rid of him, the King of Goguryeo had no choice but to take that gamble for his own life.

However, due to the torture of smallpox in the past two days, without any medicine to treat it, and the fact that the Goguryeo palace was empty and no one was waiting for him, the condition of the Goguryeo king became more and more serious. On the way to Li Kuan's mansion, he fainted on the ground due to exhaustion, but the desire to survive forced him to make the last cry of his life.

Even so, pedestrians on the road were unable to take care of themselves, not to mention that the King of Goguryeo was suffering from severe smallpox.

Naturally, the people wanted to avoid him as much as possible, let alone lend a helping hand to save him.

"Save me...save me! I am the king of Goguryeo! I have money, I can give it to you. Just bring me to Li Qiu's house! I can give you whatever you want!"

Whenever the King of Goguryeo met passers-by, he would let out intermittent, weak and powerless shouts.

But now the King of Goguryeo has a dirty face and untidy clothes, and there is no trace of his former glory.

The people ignored the King of Goguryeo and walked around him, leaving and continuing on their own paths.

The King of Goguryeo is now even a little unconscious, just like the child held by his mother two days ago.

But the only difference was that the only person accompanying the King of Goguryeo was the smallpox on his body, and he had no relatives.

It seems even more desolate.

On the other side, Old Demon Cheng was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.

No matter how he persuaded Li Qiu in the past two days, Li Qiu refused to give in, but the group of old men kept urging him.

The news of the worsening condition continued to reach the ears of Old Demon Cheng.

Even though he was very afraid of this disease, Old Demon Cheng still put on the protective suit given by Li Kuan, and went out with several soldiers to inspect the patient's condition. He also wanted to have a chat with that brat Li Kuan later.

Old Demon Cheng kept shaking his head as he walked along.

"I don't know if these old men are just eating for free! They can't even handle such a small matter! And they still say they have superb medical skills! In my opinion, they are all quacks!"

The old demon cursed Sun Simiao and others as he walked.

Looking around, all the people were dying. Even a tough guy like the old demon couldn't help but feel tender in his heart. I don't know how Li Kuan, that stinky boy, could bear to let these poor people fend for themselves!
Just when the old devil Cheng was thinking about going back to give that brat Li Kuan a good scolding, outside Li Kuan's house, a weak hand climbed up his trouser leg not far away.

"Fuck, who is it!"

Old demon Cheng couldn't help but shudder and cursed.
"General Cheng, it's... it's the widow..."

The King of Goguryeo used all his strength to say this, but before he could finish, the old demon pulled his foot away.

"Oh my god! Get away from me! Let me go!"

But somehow the weak King Goguryeo was able to have so much strength that the old demon was unable to break free from the King's hand.

"What do you want to do?"

The old demon had no choice but to glance at the King of Goguryeo, then covered his nose and kicked the King of Goguryeo away.

If he gets infected with smallpox, this old man will probably not want to fight in the war anymore. Really.

"Can you help me and take me to Li Qiu's house?"

The King of Goguryeo cried for help to the old demon Cheng.

"Even if I take you there, Li Kuan is not willing to save you!"

"Look at all the people infected with smallpox, and they haven't received treatment yet!"

"Besides, don't forget that this smallpox was caused by you, Goguryeo! Are you thinking of asking for help now? Why didn't you think of this consequence at the beginning?"

Old Demon Cheng was already angry, and now the King of Goguryeo pulled his trouser legs again, and his anger instantly erupted. He couldn't help but scold the King of Goguryeo.

When the King of Goguryeo saw that the old demon Cheng had no intention of helping him, he became very anxious.

"But didn't the general ask me to come to your house two days ago? Didn't he promise to treat me?"

Old Demon Cheng raised his eyebrows and thought about it, then he remembered this matter.

"Li Kuan said that and asked you to come over, but he didn't say he would save you!"

The old devil indeed didn't understand what Li Kuan meant. Anyway, he was unwilling to have anything to do with the King of Goguryeo.

"You...you! Please save me, General Cheng. I can give you whatever you want."

The King of Goguryeo wanted to curse a few words, but when he saw that the old demon Cheng was about to leave, he became very anxious and immediately changed his tone and started to act pitiful.

"Really? You can give me anything?"

When Old Fairy Cheng heard what the King of Goguryeo said, he stopped walking with interest, turned back and looked at the King of Goguryeo carefully.

"Really! Really! As long as it can save the widow."

Seeing that Cheng Lao Yaojing didn't believe him, the King of Goguryeo emphasized a few more times.

Old Demon Cheng looked at the extremely dirty man in front of him. If he didn't have a keen eye, he really wouldn't have recognized that he was the King of Goguryeo.

"I feel sorry for you, so I'll help you..."

The old demon Cheng finally gave in, and the King of Goguryeo also felt relieved.

"Thank you, General Cheng! I will never forget your kindness!"

The King of Goguryeo hurriedly put a high hat on the old demon Cheng.

"But! I have conditions!"

When the old demon Cheng saw that the King of Goguryeo was trying to come up and pull his trouser legs again, he quickly stepped back and revealed his real purpose.

'"ah!"

The King of Goguryeo did not expect that the old witch Cheng had left him such a trick.

"What? Didn't you say you would give me whatever I want? What? Are you going back on your word now? Then..."

Old Demon Cheng made a gesture as if he was about to leave.

"Yes! Yes, yes, yes! That's what I said. General Cheng, if you have any conditions, just mention them."

When Old Demon Cheng heard this, he retreated with satisfaction.

"I heard that your Goguryeo treasury... has a lot of good things hidden in it?"

"what?"

The King of Goguryeo did not expect that Cheng Lao's plan would go to the national treasury.
This...isn't this old witch just taking the opportunity to act like a hooligan?

"General Cheng, you also know that smallpox has been spreading recently, and the treasury of Goguryeo has exhausted all its financial resources for this matter. Now..."

The Goguryeo king's meaning was also very clear. There was really nothing left in the national treasury to supply the Tang Dynasty.

"I won't make it difficult for you. Just let me carry a bag and go to your treasury, and I will take you to Li Kuan's house. Is this a good deal?"

The old demon Cheng was negotiating with the King of Goguryeo with his own plans.
