Ye Zhen looked at the man faintly. His facial features were deep and his eyes were brown. At first glance, she could tell that he was from the Bao Xiang Kingdom. His attire was different from that of ordinary soldiers. He was still wearing something that looked like armor. He looked majestic and should be a general of the Bao Xiang Kingdom. It seemed that even the State Preceptor was a little afraid of him.
Ye Zhen looked at the man indifferently.
"At least it's more effective than using children as sacrifices." Ye Zhen said expressionlessly.
The national master walked over with a crutch. "Chi Man, what do you mean?"
"You have sacrificed to the heavens many times, but the king's illness has not improved. Now he is even more unconscious. Since she was sent by the heavenly concubine, why not let her try?" Chi Man looked at the national master and said.
"Are you questioning me?" The national master asked. "I saved the king, that is the will of the heavens. Everything I do now is the king's will. Do you want to oppose the king's will?"
Chi Man looked up at the national master. "The king has just woken up and ordered me to send all the babies in the palace back. If the gods really want to punish the king and the Bao Xiang Kingdom, then punish them. These children are the future of the kingdom and must not be sacrificed. These are the king's original words. If the national master doesn't believe it, you can ask the others present at the time."
Ye Yiqing squinted at Chi Man and translated his words to Ye Rou.
It seems that the king of the Bao Xiang Kingdom is not very cold-blooded and ruthless.
"Even I can't cure the king. Do you think this woman can cure the king?" The national master looked at Chi Man coldly. "The king is being punished by the heavens. If the sinner Aphro was executed at that time, there would be no such thing today. If you continue to remain silent, it will be the Bao Xiang Kingdom that will be punished by the heavens in the future."
Chi Man's face became very ugly and he looked at the national master coldly.
Ye Zhen was puzzled. Why did he suddenly bring up another person? She asked the young woman standing next to her, "Who is Aphro?"
"It was a woman that Lord Chi Man saved from the sea. Lord Imperial Preceptor said that she was a demoness and wanted to execute her. His Majesty did not agree and even married Aphro to Lord Chi Man. Imperial Preceptor said that he would receive the wrath of the heavens … Who would have thought that not long after, his Majesty would really fall sick. There were people falling sick everywhere in Baoxiang. Only after Imperial Preceptor prayed to the heavens did he get better," said the young woman softly.
Ye Zhen never believed in the wrath of the heavens. There was clearly something wrong with the state preceptor.
"We cannot let the heavens punish our Treasure Elephant Kingdom …"
"So many people have already died. We can't let more people die!"
The surrounding people were somewhat agitated, and some even shouted angrily at Chi Man.
State Preceptor pointed his crutch at Ye Zhen. "Only by executing these people, then capturing Aphro and sacrificing this child to the heavens, will God retract his anger and let our Baoxiang Kingdom return to a peaceful life!"
"Bullshit!" Ye Yiqing coldly snorted. "Haven't you heard that the heavens are benevolent? If the gods wanted to offer sacrifices to the heavens, why would the Heavenly Concubine Goddess send people to save you?"
"The Heavenly Concubine no longer cares about us!" The Imperial Preceptor said angrily. "We now worship the High God!"
Ye Zhen snorted coldly. "As long as you are in Baoxiang Kingdom, the Heavenly Concubine Goddess will not protect you. Aren't many people sick? Bring the sick person here. If I can diagnose his illness, then you will let me save your king. How about it?"
In Qi Yanling's travels, it was written that the people of Baoxiang Kingdom respected and believed in the Heavenly Concubine Goddess. They had always thought that the Heavenly Concubine Goddess was a guardian deity. Ye Zhen was a little unclear about what the High God was talking about, but the travel notes never mentioned the Imperial Preceptor.
Chi Man took a deep look at Ye Zhen. Compared to the Imperial Preceptor, he was more willing to believe the woman's words.
"Did you notice that she looks like the Heavenly Concubine Goddess?" An old man suddenly shouted.
Everyone's eyes turned to Ye Zhen, their eyes filled with surprise and disbelief. After staring for a while, they took two steps back in awe.
The state preceptor frowned and looked at Ye Zhen coldly. He had a bad feeling in his heart. This woman did not seem to be easy to deal with. Originally, he just wanted to arouse the people's resentment towards the king. Was it going to backfire?
Then all his painstaking efforts would be in vain!
Chi Man glanced at the Imperial Preceptor and said to Ye Zhen, "Well, I believe you." He turned to the people around him and said, "Go and bring a sick person."
Ye Zhen whispered to Ye Yiqing, "Daddy, if many people are sick at the same time, I'm afraid it will be contagious. Don't get close. Let me go, especially the children …"
"Okay." If it were any other aspect, Ye Yiqing would naturally be worried, but he was the only one who knew that his daughter had the Space Spirit Spring. Even if there was a contagious disease, Yao Yao had the Space Spirit Spring to protect her body, but the children's immunity was relatively low. He could not let the two children take risks.
"You too, don't get close to sick people." Ye Zhen whispered to Zhao Yang.
She walked over to Ming Xi and Ming Yu's side. Little Ming Yu had been crying for a while. She was probably tired from crying and had already fallen asleep in Zhao Yang's arms. Ming Xi's eyes were wide open the entire time. He was unperturbed and had no intention of making a fuss.
"Yao Yao, you too."
Ye Zhen smiled. "Don't worry, I'm fine. I'm afraid they will be hungry soon. You take the children back to the ship first."
Zhao Yang looked at the state teacher and Chi Man. "Will they let us go?"
"Yes, they will," Ye Zhen said.
Soon, two soldiers came carrying a boy of about fifteen or sixteen years old. The boy looked no different from ordinary people, but he was unconscious and looked very uncomfortable.
Ye Zhen put him down and checked his pulse.
"At first, he felt a headache and fever all over his body. After drinking the state teacher's medicine, he began to fall into a coma," Chi Man said.
Ye Zhen did not look up. Hearing Chi Man's words, the look in her eyes became more solemn.
The state teacher clenched his crutch in his hand and looked at Ye Zhen coldly.
This disease …
Ye Zhen looked at Chi Man and the others in surprise. "When did you find someone sick?"
"After the king returned from the sea, he began to feel uncomfortable. Later, more and more people fell ill." Chi Man said in a deep voice.
"This is an infectious disease. It can be transmitted by contact with saliva." Ye Zhen frowned. "He must have been infected from somewhere else and then brought to your kingdom."
She had read in the medical books written by Qi Yanling that some infectious diseases needed something called a vaccine to suppress them. She had been studying this vaccine for the second half of her life, but the effect did not seem to be very good.
Now, this person's symptoms were one of the several infectious diseases listed by Qi Yanling.
She remembered that Qi Yanling called this disease type B influenza.
