Zi Yan was moved when she thought about how much she had contributed to the Holy Church.
Lu Chen thought about it and realized that he was going to fight the epidemic this time. Would it be inconvenient to have a courtesan with him?
If the officials below saw his behavior, how would it be recorded in history books?
But after thinking about it again, Lu Chen felt relieved.
I don’t care what is written in history books. History is made up by the victors.
Besides, I'm not one of those corrupt scholars. I'm the national teacher of Da Qi, a sorcerer known by people in the martial arts world. It's reasonable for me to have a courtesan with me when I go out, right?
Many times, as long as one convinces himself, the moral bottom line can be lowered to an unlimited level.
Lu Chen felt that he really needed a servant. Even if Zi Yan didn't serve him personally, her maid could take him over for some serious service.
So Lu Chen asked someone to arrange a position for Zi Yan.
Because the Grand Canal in this world has not been dug, everyone needs to take a carriage to Yangzhou first, and then take a boat from Yangzhou to the four cities where the epidemic has broken out.
When Lu Chen set out, the imperial court had already issued a document. Currently, the four cities are under closure, and troops have been dispatched from outside to prevent anyone from escaping.
Along the way, Lu Chen declined all greetings and entertainment from officials along the way and rushed to Yangzhou as quickly as possible.
After arriving in Yangzhou, Fan Zeng took the imperial sword and men and changed boats to continue his journey, while Lu Chen stopped in Yangzhou.
As Fan Zeng boarded the ship, Lu Chen patted him on the shoulder and said earnestly, "I will be dispatching all kinds of supplies from this location, coordinating the overall situation, and serving as your strongest support. You've memorized the infectious disease prevention and control manual thoroughly, and now it's time for you to demonstrate your true skills."
Fan Zeng was naturally so excited that his eyes were filled with tears. He kept patting his chest and said that he would do his best and would never embarrass his master.
Just like that, Fan Zeng boarded the ship. Lu Chen stood at the dock, watching the ship gradually sail away. He couldn't help but sigh, "What a good disciple! Lao Mou, what do you say we should eat tonight?"
At this moment, Lu Chen felt extremely relaxed. After all, he had taught everything he knew and could teach.
As for how it is applied and whether it really works, that depends on Fan Zeng's own luck.
All he had to do next was to stabilize the morale of the troops.
Anyway, if Fan Zeng couldn't control the epidemic, he wouldn't be able to control it either if he went there.
But unlike the relaxed Lu Chen, Zi Yan almost collapsed when she saw Fan Zeng walking away, and then looked at Lu Chen who was standing on the dock and had already started shamelessly discussing with Mou Ping about wanting to visit the brothels in Yangzhou.
No! This is not the plot she imagined!
Why did she go to such great lengths to run all the way to the South? Wasn't it just to see Lu Chen's methods, to learn a few tricks from him, and then to save the White Lotus Sect?
As a result, Lu Chen actually stopped in Yangzhou. This grandson never thought of running to those four cities.
"I'm so stupid! I should have known long ago that this demonic Taoist priest couldn't possibly be so selfless. He's not the type to bravely die."
"I thought he had changed, or maybe I didn't know him well enough. After all this fuss, it turns out he had been planning this all along, what a damn coward!"
Just when Zi Yan was considering whether to kidnap someone directly, Lu Chen came over with a smile and said:
"Miss Zi Yan, don't just stand here. What do you want to eat tonight? Do you want me to feed you?"
Zi Yan was so angry that she almost exploded, but she couldn't show any dissatisfaction on her face.
The long training period paid off at this moment. She still smiled brightly and responded, "I heard that the fish here in Yangzhou is delicious. Why don't we have fish tonight?"
"Eat fish! Fish is good. Fish is high in protein and low in fat, perfect for girls. Okay, that's a happy decision. I'll have someone prepare it right away."
After saying that, Lu Chen went to look for Mou Ping. Zi Yan's maid watched Lu Chen's departing figure and came up to him and whispered, "Lady Saint, what should we do now?"
"Be patient and don't panic. Don't let your guard down and reveal any flaws. Send a message to the Holy Church saying that Lu Chen's disciple has taken the secret manual for curing the plague to those four cities. If possible, arrange for someone to keep an eye on them and see how Fan Zeng does it, so that the people of the Holy Church can follow his example."
The maid hesitated for a moment and said, "Lady Saint, do you really think that Fan Zeng can cure the plague? From what we know, Fan Zeng has only been Lu Chen's apprentice for a very short time. How much can he have learned from Lu Chen in such a short time?"
Zi Yan stopped, turned to look at the maid and asked, "What do you want to say?"
The maid responded cautiously, "I'd like to ask, is there a possibility that Lu Chen himself wasn't sure he could control the epidemic, but the court had given him an order, and he couldn't refuse, so he just found a scapegoat."
"Anyway, as long as Fan Zeng enters those four cities, Lu Chen's mission will be accomplished. If he can control the epidemic, that would be great, and he would be credited with the credit. But if he can't, Fan Zeng will surely die there, and Lu Chen will have an explanation to the court."
Zi Yan was silent. At this moment she had to admit that the maid's analysis made sense.
After all, it was an epidemic that swept across four cities. Who could guarantee that it could be cured?
But Zi Yan quickly shook her head and said, "Do we have the right to question it now? Anyway, let's imitate Fan Zeng's method first. Maybe it will work wonders."
After saying that, she gritted her teeth and said, "If it really doesn't work, I'll go find that demon Taoist and see if I can use some tricks to get something out of him!"
The maid immediately stood in awe of Zi Yan and asked, "What method does the Saint Lady intend to use? Is there anything I need to prepare?"
Zi Yan looked at her maid speechlessly. How could there be such a rude person around her?
What means can I use? Of course I can seduce him, but what else can I do? Do I have to say this?
Seeing the maid's eager expression, Zi Yan said with a frown, "Go prepare some Huanyunyan. If he refuses to cooperate, light one for him!"
Giving drugs and using knockout smoke are all despicable methods even in the underworld.
When Zi Yan thought that she, the saint of the White Lotus Sect, had to drug a stinky man, she felt that her vision was too low.
"Haha, Master Lu, you'd better cooperate. You don't want the princess to know about your ugly behavior, do you?"
