"Li Ke, Shu, King of Shu!"
When the official heard Li Ke's name, he looked at the purple robe that represented the nobility on Li Ke's body and no longer had any doubts.
"This humble official, Si 'an County Magistrate Lu Bing, greets His Highness the King of Shu!”
Lu Bing was the official in charge of guarding Changshui Village and several other villages. He was only an eighth-grade county magistrate. Seeing Li Ke was the same as seeing his ancestor.
When the villagers heard Li Ke's identity, they also hurriedly called for help.
"Your Highness the King of Shu, save us! We don't want to die!”
"Your Highness, the child is innocent. I beg you, save my child!”
"Your Highness, King of Shu, I know I'm dead. Can you let me have a full meal before I die? I don't want to be a hungry ghost.”
"Save my mother, I can't live without my mother. Your Highness, please save my mother, I'll be your slave, please.”
Li Ke ignored Lu Bing who was kneeling on the ground and looked at the villagers.
Most of the villagers had pimples on their faces, and some even had thick water flowing out. It looked very disgusting.
However, he could confirm that they were all small-flower, and they could still be saved before the critical period.
"Get thirty medical staff here. Get more disinfectant alcohol, as well as some vaccine and smallflower reagents.”
Li Ke ordered.
"Make some more food. Congee, add more ginger and chopped green onions.”
With Li Ke's order, his subordinates immediately moved and began to work in an orderly manner.
The thirty medical staff began to distribute the medicine, prepare the medicine, put on masks, and prepared to enter the village.
The soldiers of the Shu Royal Guards also came to carry a bag of rice weighing a hundred catties from the car. They began to build a simple earthen stove on the spot and used a large iron pot to cook porridge.
Li Ke and the other medical staff were ready and walked in.
However, Lu Bing stood up and stopped him.
"King of Shu, you can't!"
Lu Bing gritted his teeth and braced himself.
"There is no medicine to cure the disease. If the King of Shu goes in and gets infected with the disease, I will not be pardoned.”
"Moreover, His Majesty has decreed that no one is allowed to enter or leave a village infected with smalllessness.”
"King of Shu, please obey His Majesty's decree!"
After all, Li Ke was a prince. Although Li Shimin had reprimanded him, there was no overnight hatred between the father and son.
If Li Ke were to contract smalllessness in the village under his jurisdiction, Lu Bing's family would not be able to afford it even if they were beheaded!
He couldn't bear this responsibility.
He could only take out the imperial edict to stop Li Ke from entering the village.
"This King can't be bothered to talk nonsense with you!"
Li Ke ignored Lu Bing and walked straight ahead as he casually ordered.
"Make them behave!"
Lu Bing was anxious and wanted to order the government troops to stop them, but before he could do anything, hundreds of soldiers of the King of Shu's Guards jumped out from the cars behind him and attacked without saying a word.
"Hey, what do you want? I'm Sishui County Deputy, an official of the imperial court.”
"I…"
Lu Bing still wanted to struggle, but in the end, he was tied up by the soldiers of the King of Shu.
There were less than a hundred imperial court soldiers guarding the village. Without any suspense, they subdued them one by one, tied them up, and threw them together with Lu Bing.
The pitiful Lu Bing was still acting like a tyrant and detaining the people of Changshui Village. Who would have thought that he would be tied up by Li Ke in the blink of an eye and detained.
Could this be the legendary retribution?
"King of Shu, don't go in. Those villagers have small-flower, whoever goes in will die!”
"This humble servant is doing this for your own good. Don't be rash, King of Shu!"
"Please, come out. You'll implicate me. I have an old mother who's eighty years old, and I have…"
Lu Bing didn't give up and cried loudly to stop Li Ke.
However, Li Ke did not even look at him. He brought the villagers who had originally planned to come out and entered the village again.
Lu Bing looked at Li Ke in despair.
"It's over! If you try to be brave, you'll kill my family."
……
"Your Highness the King of Shu, you, you don't have to come in.”
"That's right, Your Highness. We know that we will die. You don't have to waste your energy. Just give us enough food to eat.”
"Your Highness, take this lowly one's child out and give him a way out. This lowly one is willing to die.”
It was not until Li Ke came in with 30 medical staff that the villagers began to persuade Li Ke to hurry out before he was infected. He had to be careful of danger.
However, Li Ke was not afraid at all and smiled at them.
"You guys are panicking too much. Actually, small-flower isn't that scary.”
"Most of the people who died from smalllessness before were caused by the lack of suitable medicine.”
"This year, this king has developed a medicine that specializes in dealing with smallflower.”
"None of you will die."
A glimmer of hope appeared on the villagers 'faces, but they immediately shook their heads, feeling that it was impossible.
Although they were also grateful to Li Ke for entering the village for the sake of ordinary people like them, working hard for their survival, and not fearing danger.
However, Li Ke was only a child in his teens. Moreover, he was a prince and not a doctor. How could he be able to cure small-flower?
"You don't believe me?"
Seeing through the villagers 'thoughts, Li Ke smiled.
"It's okay. Let the facts speak for themselves.”
"The few of you, find a few bigger houses and disinfect them with disinfectant.”
"The rest of the people, prepare to inject the villagers with the medicine and do the test.”
"If you haven't been infected yet, you'll get a vaccine.”
After giving his instructions, Li Ke looked at the villagers and said with a smile.
"In any case, since you feel that you will definitely die, then just treat it as a final gamble and hand your lives over to this king.”
"Who knows, maybe there's a chance to survive?”
"Go and call for help. This king will wait for you here.”
The villagers were moved. Looking at Li Ke's tender face, they were very grateful. Some even cried.
Since when did the nobles treat them, the commoners at the bottom, as humans?
Even the Imperial Court had given up on them and left them to fend for themselves.
They even treated them as garbage and were disposed of collectively, afraid that they would pollute others.
They were people who had been abandoned by the entire world. They had already lost all hope.
But Li Ke gave them hope.
The hope of life!
"Buttface, Gousheng's mother, come quickly. The King of Shu is here to save us!”
"Everyone, come out, come out. The King of Shu is here to save us!”
"Hurry up and move forward, don't waste His Highness the King of Shu's time. He's here to save us, not to wait for me."
"Listen to the King of Shu. I'll beat anyone who disobeys to death!”
Changshui Village was in a mess as they rushed over to Li Ke. It was noisy. Some were calling for help, some were cursing, and some were asking if they could help.
Although it was chaotic, it was full of vitality.
With the King of Shu around, they suddenly felt that even if they died, it wouldn't be so scary, because there was someone who cared about their lives.
The King of Shu was the savior who brought hope to Changshui Village.
