Having many children brings many blessings; the struggle for power begins with marriage.

No sooner had the magistrate of Danxin County finished speaking than Bai Qingqing, who was standing next to Lu Chen, immediately corrected him, "This is our Emperor."

Upon hearing this, the magistrate of Danxin County widened his eyes, somewhat unable to believe that the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty would dare to come here.

There are probably very few people in Danxin City who are not infected with the plague now. Isn't the Emperor afraid of being infected by the plague when he comes to this place?

The magistrate of Danxin County was now near death, so he wasn't that afraid of Lu Chen. He said, "Greetings, Your Majesty! Long live Your Majesty!"

"I am terminally ill, Your Majesty, please forgive me for being unable to kneel."

Seeing the dejected look on the magistrate of Danxin County, Lu Chen said calmly, "It's alright."

Lu Chen then asked, "How many people lived in your Danxin City before the plague broke out?"

The magistrate of Danxin County replied, "Your Majesty, there are 100,000 people."

Danxin City is close to Daxia and is a necessary route for caravans, so before the outbreak of the plague, Danxin City was a relatively bustling city.

Lu Chen continued, "So how many people are left now?"

The magistrate of Danxin County replied, "Your Majesty, it is probably less than a thousand people. I haven't done a count recently, so I don't know the exact number."

Lu Chen frowned. The plague brought by the Heavenly Demon was truly terrifying. A city that originally had 100,000 people now had less than 1,000.

Lu Chen continued, "Where are the soldiers stationed in your city?"

This is a vital route for caravans, and for the Great Qian Dynasty, it is also a very important city, so the Great Qian Dynasty used to send heavy troops to guard it.

The magistrate of Danxin County replied, "They withdrew after the outbreak of the plague."

Lu Chen was not surprised by the magistrate's answer; the Great Qian Dynasty had already abandoned Danxin City.

Lu Chen then looked towards Danxin City. At this moment, there seemed to be a layer of black mist above Danxin City. This was not a description of the atmosphere, but there was indeed some black mist in Lu Chen's line of sight, just like the black mist coming out of the back of a car.

Seeing this black mist, Lu Chen wondered, could this be the cause of the plague?

Lu Chen then asked Bai Qingqing, who was standing beside him, "Xiao Bai, do you see anything in the sky above Danxin City?"

Bai Qingqing glanced at the sky above Danxin City and found that there was nothing in the blue sky and white clouds. So she replied, "Your Majesty, I have not found anything."

Lu Chen wondered to himself, "Could it be that only I can see it, or that only those with a higher level of cultivation can see it?"

Thinking of this, Lu Chen then asked Mu Hongguang, "Dean Mu, can you see anything above Danxin City?"

Upon hearing Lu Chen's question, Mu Hongguang looked puzzled.

What's that in the sky above Danxin City?

What's in the sky above Danxin City? Why can't he see anything?

Mu Hongguang then truthfully replied, "Your Majesty, I did not see anything either."

Seeing that Mu Hongguang, who was a celestial being, also gave the same answer, Lu Chen was basically certain that, apart from himself, they could not see the black mist permeating the sky above Danxin City.

It seems that this black mist is indeed a serious problem.

Lu Chen then took out the exorcism banner directly from the system space.

As soon as the exorcism banner appeared, it emitted a golden light.

The next moment, all the black energy around Lu Chen was dispelled.

At this moment, Lu Chen noticed that a lot of black energy was gradually disappearing from the people in Danxin City. As the black energy dissipated, the faces of those infected with the plague visibly recovered and quickly regained their color.

The magistrate of Danxin County also noticed the changes in them, and they looked at their hands in disbelief.

At this moment, the people of Danxin City were too excited to speak.

The magistrate of Danxin County suddenly knelt down and shouted, "A miracle! This is a miracle!!!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for saving the people of Danxin County!"

Upon hearing this, the people of Danxin County behind the magistrate immediately knelt down, saying, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for saving the people of Danxin County!!!"

At this moment, not only were the people of Danxin City stunned, but the soldiers of Daxia were also stunned.

They had always had some doubts about whether their emperor could really dispel the plague, but they never expected that in such a short time, their emperor would cure all those infected with the plague.

At this moment, everyone's eyes fell on the exorcism banner in Lu Chen's hand.

Clearly, it was this banner that dispelled the plague.

With this banner, wouldn't the Great Xia army no longer have to fear the plague?

In an instant, the morale of the Great Xia army soared.

Lu Chen then addressed the generals behind him, saying, "I told you I could dispel the plague; now you should believe me, right?"

With that, Lu Chen headed straight for Danxin City, saying as he walked, "Spread the word about what happened here."

Bai Qingqing immediately replied, "Yes, Your Majesty."

Lu Chen planned to let the people of Daqian know that he had the ability to dispel plagues. In this way, he would not have to expend a single soldier to take over other cities. At that time, the garrison commanders of some cities would take the initiative to come and surrender to him.

After entering Danxin City, Lu Chen once again manipulated the Exorcism Banner, which flew into the air and emitted a dazzling golden light. After the golden light shone on it, all the black energy in the entire Danxin City dissipated.

In the blink of an eye, several days have passed.

With the help of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, news of what Lu Chen did in Danxin City spread to various counties and prefectures of the Great Qian Dynasty.

Upon hearing that the Great Xia could dispel the plague, people from various counties and even high-ranking officials began to consider joining the Great Xia.

At this time, Liu Qingqiu had lost control of the situation in Daqian. A few days later, several prefects led their soldiers to Danxin City and surrendered directly to Lu Chen.

After Lu Chen demonstrated how to dispel the plague to those who had come to him, they immediately regarded him as the chosen one.

In a short time, calls for surrender grew louder and louder, from local areas to the imperial court of the Great Qian Dynasty.

The Imperial Palace of the Great Qian Dynasty.

Qianning Palace.

Looking at the intelligence gathered, Liu Qingqiu's expression grew increasingly furious. She hadn't expected that so quickly that most of the Great Qian territory had fallen into the hands of the Great Xia Dynasty.

Lu Chen swallowed up so much land in Daqian without losing a single soldier. The key point is that after Lu Chen sent troops to Danxin City, he stayed in Danxin City and did not send troops to attack other counties in Daqian. It was the high-ranking officials of those counties who led Daqian soldiers to Danxin City to surrender to Lu Chen.

This completely disregards the Great Qian imperial family and her, who is about to become the Empress Dowager.

At this moment, Mu Yunxi appeared in Liu Qingqiu's palace. Her delicate body leaned against a pillar, and she said with a smile, "It's rare to see you like this. I didn't expect you to get angry sometimes."

Liu Qingqiu snorted coldly, "After I get rid of Lu Chen, I'll deal with those traitors!"

Mu Yunxi said, "I'm afraid you won't be able to get rid of Lu Chen, and you'll end up getting yourself involved."

"However, you guessed right, Lu Chen really does have a way to dispel the plague." (End of Chapter)
