When the military conference was convened, the concern that most preoccupied the generals was still how to handle the plague.

Although Lu Chen had long said he had a way to resolve the plague, his solution was merely isolation and maximum prevention. But what if the plague accidentally spread to their troops?

Xuanyuan Yunqi glanced at those military generals. She was now the commander of a military camp, so the concerns of these generals were equally her concerns. She directly asked, "Your Majesty, with respect, I wish to inquire how to handle the plague. Please instruct me, so I can prepare the soldiers on the battlefield in advance."

Hearing this, Lu Chen smiled and said, "Strange, haven't I already passed on the method to prevent and treat the plague to you all?"

"Have you forgotten? The Demon Burying Spell cultivation technique I imparted to you a while ago?"

Hearing this, everyone looked at each other, seemingly still somewhat incredulous.

Lu Chen continued, "The outbreak in Great Qian is not an ordinary plague, but one caused by a malevolent force, and the Demon Burying Spell is specifically designed to counter this malevolent force."

Xuanyuan Yunqi immediately identified a new problem and continued, "Your Majesty, although soldiers who have cultivated the Demon Burying Spell can control the plague, most soldiers in the army are ordinary soldiers."

Although the promotion of Spirit Rice has led to an increasing number of lower-tier martial artists in Great Sum, the army still primarily consisted of ordinary soldiers who did not have the capacity to cultivate the Demon Burying Spell, an Earth Rank cultivation technique. Even though the Earth Rank cultivation techniques taught by Lu Chen were simplified, they were still unachievable for them.

Lu Chen said, "You do not have to worry about this. The True Qi of the Demon Burying Spell can directly neutralize the plague in a person's body. As long as there is one Half-step Grandmaster in a military camp, that camp need not worry about the plague."

"Moreover, I have a Spiritual Artifact that dispels the plague. Once we are on the battlefield, I will dispel the plague beforehand, then let the soldiers advance."

Hearing this, the generals were still somewhat anxious, but since their Emperor had spoken to this extent, they now could only choose to trust the Emperor.

Lu Chen continued, "Let's leave the matter of the plague here, and now we'll discuss the attack routes."

With that, Lu Chen's gaze fell on the map in front of him. Then, he picked up a command stick and began assigning tasks to various commanders on the map.

Meanwhile.

Great Qian Dynasty, Imperial Palace.

Clothed in azure robes, Liu Qingqiu stood beside the lotus pond, watching the fish swim back and forth in the pond, when a voice appeared behind her, "You really can keep your composure. Great Sum has already marshaled its forces, and you're still here watching fish."

"I'm quite curious, what kind of methods does the Sum Emperor have to resolve the plague issue?"

Mu Yunxi said with a laugh, "Is there a possibility that he actually has no way to eliminate the plague, and is simply disregarding the lives of his soldiers?"

Liu Qingqiu said, "I don't think he is such a foolish man."

Although Liu Qingqiu was not very aware of where Lu Chen's confidence came from, she had still heard of the preventive measures taken by the Daxia Army as they approached Great Qian.

The preventive measures taken by the Daxia Army were enough to show that Lu Chen truly valued the lives of his soldiers; otherwise, he would not have had them take those measures.

However, in Great Qian, just those measures alone would absolutely not suffice, nor would they halt the spread of the plague.

Liu Qingqiu had long noticed activities of people from Great Sum within the territory of Great Qian. She believed Lu Chen must be aware of this, so she felt that Lu Chen must have other methods to control the spread of the plague.

Of course, this was just her speculation. Now it was to be seen whether the soldiers of Daxia would contract the plague during the attack, which would indicate whether Lu Chen had a method to eliminate the plague or not.

At that moment, Mu Yunxi asked with a smile, "Setting aside the matter of the plague for a moment, what do you think the odds are for the two of us against Lu Chen in a battle?"

Liu Qingqiu said indifferently, "One hundred percent."

"Oh? You have such confidence in me?" Mu Yunxi asked.

Liu Qingqiu snorted and laughed, "I am not confident in you, I believe in my own strength.

"Even without you, I would never let Lu Chen occupy Great Qian."

Hearing Liu Qingqiu's words, Mu Yunxi smiled faintly and did not say much.

Liu Qingqiu must be the incarnation of some great power, which is why she is so confident, or rather, arrogant.

It is normal for the incarnation of a great power to look down on someone from a lower world, but underestimating Lu Chen could lead to a great loss eventually.

Mu Yunxi looked at Liu Qingqiu's plump figure and thought to herself, hoping you don't end up like Yue Emperor.

For some reason, seeing Liu Qingqiu so arrogant made Mu Yunxi want her to be captured by Lu Chen and be humiliated by him night after night.

At that moment, Liu Qingqiu stopped talking with Mu Yunxi and turned directly towards the court hall, while instructing the guards, "Summon the full court of civil and military officials to discuss the matter of resisting Great Sum."

Watching Liu Qingqiu's departing figure, Mu Yunxi suddenly had a strange idea that, with Liu Qingqiu's beauty, perhaps she could attract that lascivious Lu Chen, right?

...

Several days passed.

Great Sum officially sent troops to attack Great Qian, and the first city they attacked was Danxin City.

This time, in attacking Danxin City, Lu Chen personally participated to see what the situation in Great Qian really was.

Soon, Lu Chen led his army to the outskirts of Danxin City. On the way to Danxin City, Lu Chen saw many human bones by the roadside, making the whole of Great Qian appear very desolate and oppressive.

As soon as Lu Chen and his men arrived at Danxin City, they found several officials already waiting outside the city with their seals and surrender documents.

The person dressed as the county magistrate was emaciated and kept coughing continuously, clearly suffering from the plague with not much time left.

At that moment, Lu Chen dismounted and walked directly towards the county magistrate. Seeing this, the military generals beside Lu Chen were frightened and hurried over to stop him, saying, "Your Majesty, this is not advisable!"

"That man is clearly infected with the plague. What if..."

Lu Chen raised his hand to stop them from continuing and then said calmly, "If I don't demonstrate how to expel the plague myself, how could the soldiers truly believe that I can eliminate it?"

This...

The generals looked at each other, eventually deciding not to continue blocking him but cleared the way instead.

Lu Chen walked directly up to the county magistrate. Seeing a young man in Black Gold Armor approaching, the Danxin City magistrate thought Lu Chen was a commander from Great Sum.

Since Lu Chen was quite far from the magistrate and considering the magistrate was critically ill, he had not heard the Great Sum generals addressing Lu Chen as "Your Majesty."

The Danxin County magistrate then tremblingly said, "The magistrate of Danxin County pays his respects to the lord..."
