After rebirth, the Queen and I are on the run.

Chapter 1204 is here!

Commander Su did not come out.

It was clear to him that if he went out, Uncle Qin would only catch him and expose more of the Gu family's shameful secrets.

Zeng Tongzhi and Dai Qianhu ascended the high platform and, facing the horde of Wei people outside the barricades, said: "Fellow villagers, calm down. I know you are very dissatisfied with the prolonged inability to enter the city. However, in your camp and neighboring camps, people are experiencing high fever and chills every day. You are all considered suspected plague carriers. According to the plague prevention measures set by General Liang, you must extend your isolation period!"

"The three major government offices in the capital have no choice but to accept this. We hope that you fellow villagers can understand."

“We didn’t specifically stop you from entering the city. Magistrate Kang, Magistrate Lin, Master Han and his entire Han clan, half of the Wei people in Dongming Prefecture, and the students from the Si, Lu, Ning, Xue, and Li families led by Master Qiong have all passed through the checkpoints, and some have already entered the city.”

"So there was no intention to prevent you from entering the city!"

Zeng Tongzhi shouted, and what he said was indeed true.

Hiding in the shadows, Commander Su chuckled to himself: Ha, the Qin, Liang, and Jiang families, do you know what happens when you offend us?
You, Qin Er, were so ungrateful to have dared to publicly expose his and Xuan Ge'er's attempts to steal military merits. Now, in just one month, your entire force has been completely dismantled by us!

Your biggest backers, Elder Qiong and his students, are no longer in your camp; your lesser backers, Magistrate Kang and the Han family, are also no longer in your camp. Who can you rely on to cause trouble now?!
You lowly people, those who speak with such venomous tongues and without a care in the world, deserve to have your whole family waiting to die!
Enraged, Commander Fan pointed at Commander Dai and said, "Let me through! I need to enter the city to see Imperial Envoy Qi and Young Master Liang Zhi!"

Hahaha, Commander Su laughed inwardly. "You, surnamed Fan, don't know yet, do you? Eunuch Qi has already sided with my brother-in-law."

As for Liang Zhi?

He will soon die of rat plague.

Thinking of this, Commander Su was also extremely frightened. He thought that Liang Zhi had died of rat plague, but he also didn't want to think that there really was a rat plague in the city.

But this plague is like a ghost; it suddenly appears out of nowhere.

Despite their strict precautions, the fire still broke out in the sister's villa, leaving them no choice but to hastily burn it down.

But those loyal servants had gone to the West City Plague Prevention and Isolation Point to keep an eye on Liang Zhi, and now, patients with lumps have also appeared at the West City Plague Prevention and Isolation Point.

My brother-in-law has already made plans and is discussing with Lord Yan, Prefect Fei, and General Chu whether to burn down the entire plague prevention and isolation point in the west of the city.

Because of Liang Zhi, General Chu did not agree and even sent assassins into the isolation point to take Liang Zhi to another place for isolation.

The various factions within the city are currently in an uproar over this matter.

Therefore, Qin Er and Fan Qianhu should forget about asking General Chu for help. General Chu is too busy rescuing Liang Zhi to deal with them.

“Commander Fan, if you come in, you won’t be able to enter the city for a while. You’ll have to stay in a small camp behind the barricades for ten days to prevent the spread of the plague. Only if you are healthy can you enter the city.” Commander Dai reminded him and kindly advised him, “It’s better to stay outside the city. The large camp outside the city needs you to guard and protect it.”

"Break the plague! Break the plague! It's really killing people!" Commander Fan was caught in a dilemma, as if he were being choked.

"Where is Liu, the centurion? Has he come into the city to deliver a message for me, the commander of a thousand?" Commander Fan asked about Liu, the centurion he had left inside the barricade a month ago.

Oh, I'm sorry, this stake has also been destroyed.

"Commander Liu and some of his soldiers have been suffering from high fever and chills. They were sent to a small, isolated camp inside the barricades two days ago." Commander Dai sighed inwardly and advised again, "In this chaotic situation, Commander Fan should stay outside the city."

Things are chaotic right now, did you hear me clearly?

If you stay outside, you might not get hurt.

"Where is Commander Qu? Why isn't he guarding the area outside the city at a time like this?!" Commander Fan, unwilling to give up, asked Commander Qu again. Commander Dai's eyes flashed with disdain, but he quickly replied, "Commander Qu is mainly responsible for the defense inside the city. The area outside the city with its barricades is the responsibility of us commanders."

Old Fan, don't ask about Magistrate Qu. He was promoted by Gu Chengyong, and now the two are so close they're about to become sworn brothers.

Qu Tongzhi can no longer be relied upon.

To put it simply, unless General Liang returns with his troops, and unless reinforcements from the capital arrive at the city walls and bring you inside, you will remain outside the city.

Gu Chengyong and his men will not let you in. They say you must be carrying the plague bacteria. If they let you in, how will the whole city survive?
Commander Fan was so angry he was almost out of breath. After taking a few deep breaths, he said, "The quarantine period for preventing the plague must be changed. We must arrange for our fellow villagers to enter the city as soon as possible. Otherwise, we will not enter the city; we will bypass the capital city and go directly to the capital!"

Hahaha, Commander Su is overjoyed! Going to the capital? Do you think the roads are still open?
It's been blocked for a long time.

You know Qingfang Prefecture, which is in front of Beixiong Prefecture, right? They say it's been hit by a rat plague.

You can bypass the capital city, but you still have to go through Qingfang Prefecture and enter Beixiong Prefecture before you can get to Taizhou Prefecture, right?

You can't get past Qingfang Prefecture now, there's a rat plague outbreak, hahaha.

Good heavens, Commander Su might really be a spy from the Eastern Desert. How could a normal Wei person laugh when the country suffers such a great loss?
Beep beep!

Beep beep!

Dangdang Dangdang!
Dangdang Dangdang!
A series of sharp, urgent arrow-like sounds and the ringing of gongs followed.

From the direction of Dongfu Town, soldiers and mountain people rode up on horseback. Before they even got close, they shouted: "Report! People from Wei have come to join us from the direction of Qianyang County in Jumen Prefecture. They say they have discovered a large number of enemy troops who are advancing diagonally towards the capital city!"

"There are witnesses, right here in the camp in Dongfu Town!"

"what!"

"The Eastern Desert army is attacking?!"

"Ah! Quickly remove the barricades and let us into the city to escape the war! Quickly let us into the city to escape the war!"

Many Wei civilians were terrified and charged at the barricades.

Bang bang bang!
The soldiers behind the barricades beat Wei Min, who was trying to break through the checkpoint, with wooden sticks.

"Retreat! Retreat! Anyone who dares to charge the checkpoint will be considered an intruder and shot to death with arrows!" Commander Su shouted from behind a group of shield soldiers, and instructed Fang Gui: "Fang Gui, if they dare to charge the checkpoint, fire arrows."

He then instructed Commander Dai: "Commander Dai, you must stop them. Otherwise, once the checkpoint is breached, there will be no way to manage the situation, and the entire capital city will be thrown into chaos by them!"

"Pah! Shoot! If you have the guts, shoot us all dead! A bunch of useless trash! The enemy has reached the city gates, yet you're blocking our way and refusing to come out to meet them. What are you trying to do? Are you even Wei people? Waaah!"

Many Wei people wept in despair.

Commander Fan hurriedly turned to the villagers and soldiers and asked, "What's going on? Explain clearly, how did such a large number of enemy troops suddenly appear? Aren't the enemy troops in Dong'ai County? How did they suddenly infiltrate from Qianyang County?!"

"What are the enemy doing infiltrating the capital city? Why are they splitting their forces like this? Could it be that the Eastern Desert army has arrived? Impossible! The battle report we received the day before yesterday was still about pursuing General Liang, and they hadn't even caught up with him yet. How could they possibly be in Qianyang County today?!"

"It seems that the hidden troops have been mobilized." Qin Xiaomi analyzed: "According to the previous battle reports, the light cavalry failed to catch up with General Liang, so the Eastern Desert people used their hidden troops to pursue him, intending to intercept General Liang outside the capital city!"

"They want to kidnap General Liang, the commander."
