Lu Zhengyue ordered people to take down the food.

 Leave some of it for Chaochao to make snacks and start a small stove.

 Have someone prepare a new banquet.

Although it is not extravagant, it is still extremely open-minded. Lu Zhengyue drank the soup comfortably, looking a little dazed.

“Is there anything strange in the city?”

“Could it be Dong Ling who poisoned me?” Wen Ning asked.

Lu Zhengyue shook his head decisively: "Although Dongling is barbaric, it will not injure one thousand enemies and eight hundred itself. Their situation is worse than that of a deserted city."

“And because of the lax control of the generals, there are faint signs of the plague spreading.”

“In less than three days, we will reach Donglinghuang City.”

 “This time Dong Ling is either dead or disabled.”

Everyone simply finished their lunch and had no intention of resting, so they followed Lu Zhengyue out for inspection.

Lu Zhengyue repeatedly checked the isolation masks of Chaochao and Wen Ning.

 The brows are full of worry.

 But now that we have entered the city, it is too late to say anything.

“Let’s go to the incineration site.” Rong Che said first.

Lu Zhengyue walked in front. There were soldiers on duty everywhere in the city, and people greeted him along the way.

There were soldiers guarding the burning site. Everyone looked at the mountains of corpses from a distance, and their hearts were greatly shocked.

 The corpses were piled so high that you had to raise your head to see the top.

Everyone’s exposed skin was covered in large red spots, and the red spots were all festering, which looked extremely horrifying.

 “Don’t look!” Lu Zhengyue covered her eyes.

Lu Chaochao opened his hand suspiciously.

 Strange, why do they all have a strange aura about them.

“Is there anything big happening in the city during this period?” Lu Chaochao asked curiously.

Just as Lu Zhengyue was about to shake his head, he said: "It's not a big deal. You also know that Huangcheng is surrounded by desert, and we only found an underground palace outside Huangcheng."

“There are many burial objects in the underground palace. At that time, I was leading troops to fight against Dongling, and I found that the underground palace had been hollowed out. However, this was half a month ago.”

“Later, I asked for the money, but I didn’t get it back.” Lu Zhengyue scratched his head.

“The underground palace originally wanted to report it to His Majesty, but then a plague occurred, so the matter was shelved.”

Lu Zhengyue saw that Chao Chao was suspicious of the underground palace, so he said.

“Actually, we have taken the doctor to the underground palace to check, and there are no traces of poison.”

Rong Che nodded: "Let the imperial doctor go over and take a look later."

 “Can’t let go of any anomaly.”

“Later, I’ll go and have a look too?” Lu Chaochao asked cautiously.

"Actually, there is nothing interesting to see. I heard that when the underground palace was first opened, there was countless gold and silver, copper coins all over the floor, and even a lot of jade. Now the underground palace has been completely stolen, and only two walls are left. "Lu Zhengyue couldn't help but laugh.

 “Hey, let’s go and see which unlucky guy has been dug into the underground palace.” Lu Chaochao covered his mouth and snickered.

“Poor mouth.” Lu Zhengyue ticked her little nose.

Lu Zhengyue wished that she would go less often to the epidemic area to join in the fun, so he asked her to go to the underground palace with the imperial doctor tomorrow.

 It was already late at night when we returned from the inspection.

 The faces of the imperial doctors were solemn, more severe than expected. One old imperial doctor even doubted his life.

“Strange, it is ineffective against all treatments! Even when the gold needle is inserted, it stimulates the toxin to spread and accelerates the process.”

"That's all. We obviously prescribed the right medicine, but it caused the patient to vomit turbid blood." Several imperial doctors sat in a circle, without any method.

 After the founding of Beizhao, there was also a plague.

 Not to mention finding an antidote, at least we can find a method to slow down the progress of the plague. Everyone discussed until late at night, until the sky turned white, and everyone looked tired and took a nap.

A group of old doctors with gray hair and beards. Their bones were almost falling apart and they didn't dare to rest much.

 If we sleep for one more moment, countless people will lose their lives.

 After Lu Chaochao finished his breakfast, the doctors got up tiredly.

With thick dark circles under his eyes, he still forced himself to go to the underground palace.

“Half of them went to the underground palace, and half of them went to the medical clinic.” The imperial doctor waved his hands and wore a thick mask, not daring to expose his skin.

The entrance to the underground palace is not far outside the city.

Outside the deserted city, the sky was full of wind and sand. Lu Chaochao opened his mouth and ate a mouthful of sand.

"Bah, bah, bah..." Lu Chaochao spat.

 “I told you to wear a veil, but you don’t want to listen.” Lu Zhengyue snickered.

“The weather conditions in the deserted city are extremely poor, so it has always been a place of exile. If you can reach the deserted city, you will have to lose half your life. If you finally reach your destination, you may not be able to survive the bad weather.”

“There was a huge sandstorm some time ago, and half of the people’s doors were blocked by sand. It took a long time to remove the sand.”

“The underground palace outside the city has just begun to reveal its clues.”

The people leading the way said with burning eyes: "Our ancestors have lived in the deserted city for generations, and we have never heard of an underground palace in the desert. That day, the underground palace appeared, but you didn't see it... tsk tsk..."

“A colorful glow appeared in the desert, attracting people in the city to watch.”

“The rays of light shine on the underground palace, revealing the door…”

The man smashed and smashed his mouth: "The people made a loud noise, and before the city soldiers came, they all broke open the gate of the underground palace."

“Oh, the moment the underground palace opened, the golden light inside made me almost blind.”

“The ground was covered with copper coins, even mixed with glittering golden melon seeds. Everyone became red-eyed and rushed into the underground palace like crazy, snatching the coins on the ground.”

 “Everyone was so jealous that they even fought over it.”

“Some people rushed in frantically and even smashed the ever-burning lamps in the underground palace and took them away.”

"The walls were still inlaid with luminous pearls. They even smashed down the walls and took away the stones piece by piece. It was like locusts crossing the border, leaving nothing behind. Even the lamp oil for the ever-lasting lamps was taken away."

Lu Zhengyue’s face was dark: “It’s simply ridiculous.”

 At this moment, standing at the entrance of the underground palace.

 Before entering it, you can see the mess all over the place.

There is a row of small words on the heavy stone door, please do not disturb the peace of the tomb owner.

 There is also a line of small words on the back of the stone gate.

It can be seen that it is written to people who do not listen to advice and insist on getting started.

"If you insist on entering, you can take what you need and kowtow to express your gratitude. You must not disturb the souls in the tomb." Lu Zhengyue raised his eyebrows.

"The owner of this underground palace is kind-hearted." You can take away the items in the tomb by kowtow.

 The people who led the way curled their lips and said, "Not a single person kowtows."

“They even fought in the underground palace and made the underground palace a mess. Look, this room is full of mess..."

There is even an unpleasant smell in the air.

 The man leading the way felt embarrassed when he saw that there were women among the nobles.

“Some people peed everywhere in the underground palace because they failed to rob the gold and silver.”

Lu Zhengyue's face was already ugly: "I don't know whether to live or die, and I have no dignity!" But at that time, he and Dong Ling were fighting, and there was no time to suppress him.

There are bright lamps and night beads on the wall, and the walls have been dug into holes.

 It was even more miserable inside.

Lu Chaochao's face was full of disgust: "Which of the great grievances is so miserable that someone has to dig up his grave..." (End of this chapter)
