Zhou Chong sighed, he couldn't tell who said it.

In fact, he didn't ask in detail. The soldiers were noisy about it. As soon as he heard about it, he came to Li Mingcheng regardless of his pain.

"Vice General Zhou," Huo Changhe said, "Go and ask outside to find out who spoke out about this first and find the source."

Zhou Chong was stunned, really checked?

Huo Changhe said earnestly: "The biggest fear in the military camp is the unstable morale of the military. Anything that is not good for the morale of the military must be investigated to the end."

"Although there are many people, the scope is small. I ask one by one, "I heard it, who said it? Tell me the specific name, can't you still ask?"

Zhou Chong realized that Huo Changhe really wanted to investigate, not a lie, and what he said was reasonable. Military morale was the most important thing.

He cupped his hands and said, "Yes."

After walking two steps to the tent, he turned back and asked, "Your Majesty, Princess, is the matter of burning corpses true?"

Just as Yan Ruyu was about to speak, Huo Changhe stepped forward and said, "Yes."

Zhou Chong's expression changed, and he turned around and stepped forward: "Your Highness, how can this be done? Those are our brothers."

Huo Changhe said: "You go ahead and find out who said it, and I will give you an explanation when the time comes."

Zhou Chonggong handed over his hand. Although he was unwilling to do so, he still went ahead and did it.

Li Mingcheng pursed his lips and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, the burning of corpses... I'm afraid it won't be easy to carry out."

"Military orders are like mountains, there is nothing difficult to carry out," Huo Changhe said in a low voice but with a firm tone.

Li Mingcheng was secretly frightened. It seemed that the burning of the corpse must be carried out.

He was speechless for a moment, not knowing how to persuade him. Huo Changhe had been in the army for a long time, so he didn't need to elaborate on the impact and consequences of this incident.

Yan Ruyu saw his concerns and said slowly: "I came to see you, sir. In addition to the matter of burning corpses, there are two other important things."

Li Mingcheng quickly cheered up: "What's the matter?"

"Princess Dacheng Ninth has arrived in Youcheng and mentioned the epidemic in the camp."

Li Mingcheng was shocked: "This..."

He opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say. He said that the ninth princess of Dacheng entered the city easily, but he, the city protector, didn't know at all. Not only did he not know, he had to let Yan Ruyu tell him.

Or should I say that the news about the epidemic in the military camp was still leaked despite strict orders, and even the princesses from other countries knew about it.

Li Mingcheng was ashamed.

Yan Ruyu continued: "The epidemic issue must be resolved as soon as possible. Your Majesty has asked Governor Cao to strictly protect the Ninth Princess. She must not be able to do anything for a while. We just need to use this time to resolve it as soon as possible."

That being said, how to solve it?

Li Mingcheng had juice coming out of his forehead and was helpless.

"What the princess said is absolutely true, but..."

"Princess has found a solution. What Li Cheng has to do next is to cooperate." Huo Changhe said.

"Is there a solution?" Li Mingcheng's eyes suddenly lit up, "I will do my best to cooperate. Please give me your instructions!"

Yan Ruyu looked at him: "The first step is to burn the corpse."

……

Soon, almost everyone in the military camp knew the news, and they were shocked and unbelievable.

But they didn't dare to discuss it.

Because Zhou Chong was questioning the person who originally released the news.

Li Mingcheng asked his confidants to put up a fight. It would take a while to prepare more than a dozen corpses.

The shelves were built bit by bit, and the straw was laid out layer by layer. More and more people were watching, and the atmosphere became more and more depressing.

Everyone was surrounding, but there was no sound, and it was completely dark.

Li Mingcheng's lieutenant was almost forced to do it in the end. The torches and braziers around him were lit, making his face turn pale.

Finally, I was almost busy when I heard someone outside the crowd shout loudly: "The prince and princess are here!"

The silent soldiers separated to the left and right, and Huo Changhe and Yan Ruyu walked in front of everyone's gaze, followed by Li Mingcheng and Zhou Chong.

Yan Ruyu glanced at Zhou Chong, Zhou Chong clapped his hands, and someone brought the three tied soldiers up.

The surrounding braziers were lit even brighter, illuminating the faces of the three people clearly.

There were finally low murmurs in the crowd, and the suppressed dissatisfaction seemed to thicken the air, making it feel heavy to breathe.

"Isn't this Zhang Wu?"

"Yes, there are also Dali and Sun Erniu."

"What are you doing? Killing a chicken to scare the monkeys?"

As soon as these four words came out, they exploded like oil into water.

Yin Ding squeezed in with a small speaker from the outside.

This small speaker was used before when he played the role of the messenger of the golden-armored God of War.

"Give way."

But he said it several times and no one paid any attention to him.

Yin Ding also got angry, raised his trumpet and loudly shouted: "Give way!"

The sound was like thunder. Everyone was startled and quickly backed down.

Yin Ding walked into the crowd with high spirits. Yan Ruyu took the trumpet and looked at the crowd.

"Vice General Zhou," Yan Ruyu called out, "Why don't you tell me why these three people were tied up."

Zhou Chong felt a little ashamed, but not too much. He said loudly: "These three people were arrested for spreading the news about burning corpses."

Someone in the crowd was dissatisfied and said: "Does this still need to be spread? Now that the shelves are set up, we have all seen it!"

"Yes, people need to be laid to rest, but now they have to be burned with fire. How can they be laid to rest?"

"We train day and night. We are not afraid of hardship or death. But once we die, will we be treated like this?"

"Is it possible that our bodies are all gone and our families can't even find a place to worship us?"

Huo Changhe and Yan Ruyu said nothing, watching them quietly and letting them vent their emotions.

Seeing this scene, Sun Erniu knelt down with a thump, but his neck was strangled.

"General Zhou, what are we guilty of?"

"Your Majesty, Princess, are we going to be punished just because we said something that everyone knows?"

"We are not afraid of death, but if we are asked to die like this, we will not accept it!"

As soon as he opened his mouth, he seemed to have been greatly wronged.

In addition, both of them knelt down and said similar words.

The onlookers became even more angry.

Yan Ruyu glanced at the crowd and saw Linlang coming over. She raised her head and said, "Since you claim to be wronged, I will ask you questions and answer truthfully. If there is really an injustice, I will personally untie you." And apologized."

Everyone was silent and listened patiently. Can the princess apologize in person?

The three of them looked overjoyed, and Yan Ruyu changed the subject and said, "But if you are innocent, you will be beheaded on the spot. Do you dare?"

The three of them looked at each other quickly.

"Beheaded?" Sun Erniu said, "Princess, I wonder if what you said is unjust or not. What is the basis for it? If..."

Yin Ding sneered: "Is it possible that my prince and princess can still wrongly accuse you in front of everyone? You should think about what you have done and whether you can save your life!"

Zhou Chong cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, Princess, they are all subordinates of the general. If there is any mistake, the general will also be guilty of lax control. I am willing to accept the punishment."

This means believing that his own soldiers are fine.

Yan Ruyu narrowed her eyes slightly and was about to speak when Huo Changhe stopped her.
