Chen Qingwan felt a chill run from the soles of her feet straight to the top of her head, almost suffocating her.
The military camp is now her backbone.
If the military camp also falls, the consequences will be unimaginable!
"how so……"
Chen Qingwan murmured to herself, her voice trembling, almost inaudible.
Li Mu's face was equally terribly gloomy.
Now is not the time to panic; we must take measures as soon as possible to control the spread of the epidemic.
"Your Majesty, the military camp must be sealed off immediately, and all patients must be isolated!"
Chen Qingwan snapped back to her senses. Suppressing her fear, she gave the order in a trembling voice:
"By imperial decree, seal off the military camp immediately, and forbid anyone from entering or leaving!"
"All soldiers infected with cholera are to be quarantined! Anyone who disobeys will be executed!"
Although her voice trembled, it conveyed an undeniable determination, a responsibility she bore as an emperor.
It was also her promise to the Datong Dynasty.
Li Mu dared not delay and immediately turned around and rushed to the military camp to direct the soldiers to isolate and treat the injured.
He was filled with worry; the cholera outbreak was raging.
The slightest carelessness could lead to an irreparable disaster.
Panic spread like wildfire throughout Jingzhou City.
The streets were deserted, and every household stayed indoors, the air thick with the scent of death.
Chen Qingwan sat alone in the imperial study, looking at the gloomy sky outside the window, feeling a sense of powerlessness.
She didn't understand why the situation she had finally managed to stabilize was being disrupted.
Could such a sudden change have happened?
Is Heaven really going to destroy Da Tong?
She rubbed her throbbing temples, trying to stay awake.
Now is not the time to despair; she must find a solution.
Suddenly, she remembered Lu Yan.
That man always manages to create miracles.
Perhaps, this time, he can also help me get through this difficult time?
Thinking of this, a glimmer of hope ignited in Chen Qingwan's eyes.
She immediately picked up her pen and wrote a letter, telling Lu Yan in detail about the situation in Jingzhou.
And they requested his assistance.
She wrote hastily, the pen tip gliding rapidly across the paper, describing her anxious state of mind.
After finishing the letter, she immediately summoned a messenger and ordered him to deliver it to Shannan Prefecture as quickly as possible.
The messenger took the letter and, without delay, immediately spurred his horse and galloped off towards Shannan Prefecture.
After the messenger left, Chen Qingwan went to the window, looked in the direction of Shannan Prefecture, and silently prayed:
Lu Yan, you absolutely have to come!
Da Tong's fate is in your hands!
At this moment, in Shannan Prefecture, Lu Yan was watching the opening ceremony of the sports meet with great interest.
A variety of wonderful performances were staged one after another, dazzling him and putting him in a good mood.
Suddenly, a figure rushed over, breaking the lively atmosphere.
"My lord, an urgent report from Jingzhou!"
The visitor was Night Owl, his face grave, clutching a letter tightly in his hand.
Lu Yan took the letter, opened it, and the smile on his face instantly froze...
After reading the letter, Lu Yan's face turned dark instantly.
It's blacker than the bottom of a pot, blacker than coal.
The cheerful atmosphere froze instantly, the air seemed to turn into thick paste, making it difficult to breathe.
He crumpled the letter into a ball and slammed it to the ground.
It's as if all the anger is being vented on this thin piece of paper.
"Damn it, why did this cholera outbreak have to happen at this time of year!"
Lu Yan's roar exploded in the air.
"Night Owl, quickly call Lu Fei, Zhang Xun, Han Sheng, and that woodcutter Li Kui over here!"
Lu Yan's voice was like the roar of a wild beast, full of anger and anxiety.
Night Owl was startled by Lu Yan's sudden roar.
The sunflower seeds in my hand scattered all over the ground with a "whoosh".
Realizing what was happening, he scrambled off to find the person, shouting as he ran:
"Lu Fei! Zhang Xun! Han Sheng! Li Kui! The lord is calling you! Hurry up!"
Before long, Lu Fei, Zhang Xun, Han Sheng, and Li Kui arrived in a hurry.
Lu Fei was still holding half a roasted chicken leg that he hadn't finished eating.
While gnawing on a chicken leg, he asked indistinctly:
"What happened, sir?"
Zhang Xun and Han Sheng's faces were covered in theatrical makeup, making them look like painted-face actors.
One had a red face, and the other a white face; they looked as if they had run straight off the stage.
Only Li Kui held his large knife tightly in his hand.
He looked like he was ready to chop someone up at any moment, his face as serious as a stone.
It's like someone owes him millions of taels of silver.
"What happened, sir?"
Lu Fei asked again, and this time he finally swallowed the chicken leg and spoke more clearly.
Lu Yan ignored him and recounted the situation in Jingzhou to everyone with a gloomy expression.
"A cholera outbreak has occurred in Jingzhou, and the military camps have also been infected. The situation is critical!"
Lu Yan's voice was deep and powerful, each word striking the hearts of everyone like a heavy hammer.
After hearing this, everyone deflated.
"I've decided to go to Jingzhou to provide support!"
"My lord, I'll go with you!"
Lu Fei, Zhang Xun, and Han Sheng said in unison.
“I’ll go too!” Night Owl stepped forward, even though he had just been scared out of his wits.
But now she has chosen to follow Lu Yan without hesitation.
"No! Sir, you can't go!"
Li Kui suddenly roared.
"Aren't you going to care about the people of the whole city? Aren't you going to care about Shannan Prefecture? We're still at war!"
