Chapter 1698: Contagion of the Plague
Lao Gao was still there eagerly looking forward to Qian Duoduo's Yulei Sword, and not far away, another guard ran over and shouted anxiously: "General, hurry up and take a look at the grain and grass depot."
As soon as he heard that there was a problem with the grain depot, Lao Gao rolled up his sleeves and rushed over.
Food and grass are the lifeblood of the entire army, and there must be no mistakes.
However——when he just walked to the door, Lao Gao was so overwhelmed by the scene of Lei in front of him that he was so tender on the outside.
He thought he had read it wrong, and deliberately pulled a soldier who was watching, and asked, "What's going on here?"
The soldier guarding the grain and grass was also at a loss: "General, we don't know. It's just that when we came in, we saw a pile of dead mice out of thin air at the door."
Strange to say, the dead rats in front of the grain and grass depot didn't seem to have eaten poisonous things by mistake, but were bitten to death and placed at the door on purpose.
Not only that, the dozens of mice with bleeding necks were also neatly arranged in a long snake formation, like a row of mummy mice guarding the grain and grass warehouse, unstoppable.
Looking at it, who is the idle guy who has nothing to do with this prank? !
Just when the big guys were looking at each other, puzzled, they accidentally stumbled upon an even more shocking scene.
On the roof of the grain storehouse, three wild cats appeared out of nowhere. Each cat had a dead mouse in its mouth, and jumped down from the eaves nimbly.
Then, the three cats rolled their eyes twice, flicked their tails, raised their foreheads, ignoring no one, walked on the catwalk swaggeringly, and came to Xiao Rong'er with the mouse in its mouth.
"Meow--"
As soon as one of the cats opened its mouth, the dead mouse fell to the ground.
Rong'er stretched out her hand, subconsciously wanting to grab the mouse's tail, but General Gao who was beside her was one step ahead of her and directly knocked off her arm.
"Little princess, don't touch these dead mice!" General Gao's expression was unusually serious.
"Why?" Rong'er didn't know why.
"This mouse can infect the plague. If you encounter it, you will get some kind of disease, and my ass will bloom!"
As General Gao spoke, he ordered people to quickly dispose of the pile of rat corpses at the door.
It's really unlucky to think about it, what kind of evil is this, that three wild cats came to the barracks with so many dead mice in their mouths? !
General Gao watched those rat corpses burnt to ashes by the fire, and then he breathed a sigh of relief, muttering to himself: "Fortunately, labor and management discovered it early, otherwise there would be more rats, and the plague would spread and spread to the Lieutenant generals, that’s going to be a big trouble.”
After General Gao dealt with the 'Rat Corpse Gate', he specifically ordered his subordinates not to tell the Emperor about this matter, so as not to worry him.
Even so, after the dinner, Long Yutian, as usual, when inspecting the barracks, still more or less heard the soldiers discussing this matter in private.
He returned to the tent full of doubts, and when he opened his eyes, he saw Rong'er crawling in front of the window, teasing a little tabby cat.
The little hand smoothed its hair again and again, and it was still muttering something incessantly.
Rong'er heard the sound of footsteps, turned around, and saw Long Yutian appearing behind him at some point, the condensed moonlight hit his perfect side face, reflecting the breath of peerless elegance.
