Chapter 321 Taking the lead
"puff!"
Owen almost laughed out loud, but luckily he held it back in time and joked: "Hmm, how about I bring some candies next time?"
"Don't treat me like a child." Angelica glared at Owen.
"Okay, I'm just kidding."
Owen raised his hand to stop, then put the paper bag containing the special medicine on the bedside table, and reminded: "I put the medicine here. Remember to take it three times a day, two pills each time."
"Yes, I understand." Angelica also put the bowl of warm water on the bedside table.
Just after taking the medicine, let Angelica have a good rest. Owen and his party did not stay too long and left quickly.
Returning to the first floor of the lord's castle, Owen handed a bottle of special medicine to the doctor and asked him to give it to patients who were seriously ill and had not improved.
On the other side, strict epidemic prevention measures have been implemented in Fengsuicheng for several days.
One after another, city hall staff and guards showed signs of laziness. Serving the civilians who stayed at home every day, giving them food and drinks, was exhausting. They had never been so tired before.
In contrast, the soldiers of the People's Army have been working hard and without complaint. They have never been lazy or complained about the strict epidemic prevention measures.
In a certain grid area, during the lunch break, a guard couldn't help but ask the People's Army soldiers.
"Why can you work so diligently every day? Don't you feel tired?"
"No why."
The soldier puffed up his chest and said very proudly: "Because I am a member of the People's Army, and obeying orders is a soldier's bounden duty. And compared with usual training, this job is not too tiring."
"Don't you think the epidemic prevention measures ordered by the king are too strict?" the guard asked.
"The implementation of strict epidemic prevention measures should be based on His Majesty's own considerations. I believe that Your Majesty can lead everyone to defeat this plague."
"I still don't understand why you trust His Majesty so much?"
The guard shook his head, still confused.
"Don't rulers always put their own interests first? Look at our Lord, he found that the plague was almost out of control, so he decisively abandoned the city and ran away."
"Your Majesty is not such a person. He is a good king who truly cares about the people."
The People's Army soldier stared at the guard and said slowly: "The winter before last, when Dawn City was still a border garrison town, we faced the threat of undead monsters. It was His Majesty who led us to resist vigorously and saved the border garrison town."
"Can you tell me in detail what happened?" The guard became very interested in this matter.
"No problem, we have to start from the autumn of last year..."
The soldiers of the People's Army began to tell the thrilling past events.
The guard was fascinated by what he heard and accidentally fell into it.
I couldn't help scolding Duke Eddie; I was shocked by the power of explosives; I was worried about the militia that was going to climb the city wall to defend against the enemy; I was happy for the appearance of the Templars, etc.
Finally, when he learned that everyone was working together to defend the northern city wall, the guard let out a long sigh and finally felt relieved.
He said with envy: "I'm a little jealous of you, you have such a good king."
"You don't have to be jealous, our king is also your king." The People's Army soldier pointed this out clearly.
Reacting suddenly, the guard stretched out his hand to scratch the back of his head and smiled awkwardly: "That's right, hahaha."
"Okay, rest time is over, it's time for us to go to work."
After saying that, the People's Army stood up and walked towards the wooden cart not far away.
"Wait for me."
Seeing this, the guard stood up and chased after him, patting the dust on his pants.
"By the way, can I also join the People's Army?"
"It should be possible, after this plague passes."
Later, unknowingly, this past story spread among the city hall staff and guards. Some people even took the initiative to ask the People's Army soldiers to know what other great deeds the king had.
In addition, watching the People's Army work diligently and being subtly influenced by it, many people abandoned their lazy mentality and followed the People's Army to carry out epidemic prevention work conscientiously without complaining.
The People's Army took the lead, thereby influencing and motivating city hall personnel and guards, as well as recruited civilians, to actively participate in epidemic prevention work. This was something Irving did not expect.
…
Longya Ridge is a fortress in the northwest of the Dawn Kingdom, located in the narrow spot between the Transverse Mountains and the Chaoge Mountains.
Originally bordering it was the Kingdom of Gurman. Unfortunately, this country has perished and been replaced by a powerful and vast empire——
The full name of the Popon Empire is the United Empire of Poline and Poondek.
To escape the plague, Duke Lyman fled to Longya Ridge and is now listening to the intelligence reported by his subordinates in the lord's castle.
When he heard the news that the new king was in Fengsuicheng, he suddenly sat upright and said, "Wait, what did you just say?"
"Return to Your Majesty the Duke."
The subordinates respectfully repeated what they had just said: "The new king led the army to enter and take over Fengsui City. It is said that he is dealing with the plague there."
"Dealing with the plague? Humph!"
Duke Lyman smiled disdainfully and said scornfully: "Even I, a lord with more than 20 years of governance experience, can't control the plague, so just him? Are you kidding me? Don't think that having a strong army means you are omnipotent.
Yeah, dealing with the plague and fighting a war are completely different things."
"That's what the Duke said." His subordinates agreed.
"Since you like to show off, let him show off."
Duke Lyman believed that the new king was seeking death and dared to run into the place where the plague broke out. He had never seen such a stupid person before.
Even so, the new king and his army will definitely be infected with the terrible plague in Fengsui City, and then lose a lot of troops.
It would be even better if the new king also died of illness, and the Kingdom of Dawn would fall into chaos.
And he, Duke Lyman, was confident that he could get what he wanted from this chaos.
The royal family of Wells has been sitting on the throne of Junhui City for so long. It's long past time for someone else to sit on the throne, such as me.
Thinking of this, Duke Lyman couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, feeling very happy.
"Tell me the next news." He leaned back and leaned comfortably on the back of the chair.
"Your Majesty the Duke, Yi Guan asked me to bring you a message, saying that the goods you requested have arrived."
"oh?"
Upon hearing this, Duke Lyman suddenly leaned forward, with an undisguised smile on his face.
"Are they a beautiful mother and daughter?"
"Yes." The subordinate nodded.
"Very good."
