Chapter 1649: His Majesty arrives in person to guard Great Qin
Liaoyang Commandery City.
After a day of traveling.
As dusk approached.
Ying Ying Zi Ye and his party finally arrived at Liaoyang Commandery City.
When the soldiers guarding the city walls saw the arrivals from the Empire.
They all cheered enthusiastically.
The city gates were also quickly opened.
Preparing to welcome them into the city.
Tu Donghai also appeared here quickly at this moment.
"Greetings, Your Highness. You have finally returned."
Tu Donghai was very agitated; the Prince had been gone for three whole days.
In the days the Prince was not here, quite a few things had happened.
However, the situation had been brought under control and had not spiraled out of hand.
"Why are you the only one here?"
"Where are General Meng Tian Tian and the others?"
Ying Ying Zi Ye was somewhat puzzled.
It was already evening; why hadn't General Meng Tian Tian, Han Xin, and the others returned yet?
It was dark now, and who knew if there were still those infected ones outside.
They had conducted a thorough sweep once, but who knew if they had all been eliminated?
"Reporting to Your Highness, I estimate they will be back soon at this time."
"They have been returning around this hour for the past few days."
Tu Donghai thought of how General Meng Tian Tian and the others had been leaving early and returning late these past few days.
And he had been arranged to wait here for the Prince's return.
Every time night fell.
The first thing General Meng Tian Tian and the others would ask upon returning was whether the Prince had returned.
This had been the case for two or three nights in a row.
Now, they had finally waited for the Prince's return.
And it looked like they had brought a lot of supplies this time.
It was estimated that the final assault was not far off.
"Hmm, how is it outside the city?"
"Your Highness, why don't we enter the city and talk?"
The two men's voices rang out at almost the same time.
Ying Ying Zi Ye smiled; that made sense.
They were still outside the city gate, after all.
Whatever the matter was, they could discuss it after entering the city.
"Let's go, enter the city!"
Ying Ying Zi Ye waved his hand.
The mighty army marched toward the interior of the city.
After they entered the city, the city gates were closed once again.
At the same time.
The West Gate was also quietly opened.
General Meng Tian Tian and the others, leading a small squad, had also just returned.
Galloping on horseback through the streets.
As soon as General Meng Tian Tian returned, he wanted to find Tu Donghai to ask questions.
However, he discovered that there had been some changes within the city.
Many soldiers had appeared.
This discovery made General Meng Tian Tian instantly joyful.
The suddenly appearing soldiers.
If he guessed correctly, it was likely that the Prince had returned.
General Meng Tian Tian and the others approached rapidly.
And at this time, Ying Ying Zi Ye and his party had also just entered the city not long ago.
Both sides converged directly at the city square.
"Greetings, Your Highness. You have finally returned."
General Meng Tian Tian, Han Xin, and the others dismounted and saluted.
"Indeed, I have returned."
Ying Ying Zi Ye responded with a smile.
He had returned, and he could still see everyone.
This meant that these past few days had been alright.
At the very least, they were all still here, with no casualties.
"Your Highness, have you brought the naphtha?"
General Meng Tian Tian was very concerned about the matter of the fire oil.
He had returned to the city these past few days to ask if the Prince had arrived.
It was precisely because he wanted the fire oil brought quickly.
It wasn't that they didn't want to deal with those corpses.
It was just that they couldn't spare the manpower to cut branches to burn the corpses.
A large number of people had been arranged to go out and sweep, as well as to guard the Great Wall.
Those corpses were just left in the suburbs, and they still needed to send people to guard them.
Otherwise, they were afraid that wild beasts or the like would come to gnaw on them.
The weather had been hot these past few days, and those corpses had already started to stink.
Going in and out these past few days, one could smell a rotten odor from far away.
This smell was too strong, making one feel somewhat nauseated.
If these corpses were not dealt with in time, it was estimated that more plagues would breed.
"The fire oil has all been brought, and the quantity is not small."
"What is the matter?"
Ying Ying Zi Ye was somewhat puzzled.
Why did it feel like General Meng Tian Tian was somewhat anxious?
The people present, hearing that there was plenty of fire oil, finally revealed a smile.
"Your Highness, it is like this."
Han Xin hurriedly explained the situation.
Only then did Ying Ying Zi Ye know why they were so anxious.
In just two or three short days, those corpses had already rotted.
They were even stinking; this speed was somewhat fast.
He hadn't expected them to rot and stink so quickly either.
"The fire oil is over there; Wang Li, you go with Tu Donghai to retrieve it."
"Burn those corpses tonight."
Ying Ying Zi Ye knew that this matter could not be dragged out any longer.
Since the fire oil had already been delivered, they should act quickly. ===== CHAPTER 1651 =====
