"Observe the condition of every soldier in the army. If anyone feels unwell, send them to the military medical department immediately."
"Also, just in case, Zhuying, go buy some medicinal herbs right away. The more the better."
Zhuying and Hongying were shocked and knelt down, saying, "Yes, we obey your command."
Zhuying retreated.
Yu Zhiheng took out a piece of paper, quickly wrote a few lines, put it in an envelope and handed it to Hongying.
"Tell Tiandu this news immediately, using the fastest method possible, without worrying about anything else." He paused, "Also, go check on the situation with the person who poisoned you."
"yes."
Hongying went out.
Yu Zhiheng looked at the sand table in front of him and fell into deep thought.
Now it all makes sense.
The plague had already broken out in Minzhou, and they wanted to spread the plague to them.
With Yu Zhiheng in charge of the army, it would be impossible for the news to reach the army, and they could not take risks with their own army.
So they have to start from the other side, for example, the villagers.
Even though there were soldiers on duty at the border between the two continents, a large number of people still risked their lives and crossed mountains and rivers to come to Cangzhou.
What's more, now, the Minzhou army is pretending to attack to divert attention and secretly helping them enter Cangzhou.
I just don’t know how many people there are, and whether it’s too late for him to find out.
Until evening, Yu Zhiheng did not come out of the tent, but Zhu Ying brought new news.
"Your Highness, Qilai County has been sealed off."
Yu Zhiheng stood up suddenly, and heard Zhu Ying continue, "When I went there, I saw that the city was sealed off, and there were still many refugees outside the city. So I guess the situation in the city is not optimistic either."
As soon as Zhuying finished speaking, Yu Zhiheng rushed out.
"Your Highness, Your Highness, where are you going, Your Highness!"
But Yu Zhiheng had already mounted his horse and was galloping towards Wangfu Village.
After speeding all the way, crossing mountains and rivers, we finally arrived at a familiar place.
But Yu Zhiheng stood at the door and did not dare to push it open.
And Sang Yu had just returned from the county.
She had been busy all day, and the plague situation was much more serious than she had imagined. She consulted several doctors and consulted Dr. Lu, who wrote a prescription. She then gave it back to Lin Xiaoxiao and asked her to speed up the preparation of the medicine.
She was now covering her mouth and nose and wearing gloves. She even handed the paper in her hand to Lin Xiaoxiao from a distance and asked Lin Xiaoxiao to copy a separate copy, which would be burned.
She went to the room to pack some necessary things, and told Lin Xiaoxiao and Lin Hai not to go out of the yard casually.
The two nodded in agreement. Lin Xiaoxiao wanted to hug Sang Yu, but was stopped by Sang Yu.
She gave a few more instructions before opening the door, just in time to see Yu Zhiheng.
The two looked at each other in silence.
Yu Zhiheng was surprised and delighted. Just as he was about to take a step forward, Sang Yu raised his head and said, "Don't move."
Yu Zhiheng paused, his face turning pale in an instant.
"I came into contact with quite a few plague patients today."
When Yu Zhiheng heard this, his expression relaxed, but he soon became nervous again and his voice became much louder when he spoke.
"How could you come into contact with a patient suffering from the plague?"
"Why can't I contact plague patients? Nie Zhiheng, tell me, why can't I? I can, I have the ability to help them, why not save them?"
Yu Zhiheng paused, then said in a low but firm voice, "First, let me correct you. My name is Yu Zhiheng."
Sang Yu paused. She felt that the name was not right and she couldn't pronounce it out loud. She frowned and said, "Do you know what you are doing now? Is this the time to worry about names?"
"Do you remember what your responsibilities are now?"
Sang Yu stared at Yu Zhiheng, "Yu Zhiheng, don't forget your responsibilities."
"Go back!" Sang Yu said sternly, "Go back and win this battle."
"But……"
"No buts," Sang Yu said, "Leave the things here to me."
Yu Zhiheng looked at Sang Yu deeply, a look full of affection and surprise. He pondered for a long time and said, "You remember everything?"
Sang Yu nodded.
She looked into Yu Zhiheng's eyes and said, "Don't forget what I taught you. Go win the battle first and beat the shit out of those Minzhou brats. Once things are over here, we can talk about our own things, okay?"
Sang Yu had never spoken to Yu Zhiheng like this before.
And when has Yu Zhiheng ever disobeyed Sang Yu's words?
He looked at Sang Yu deeply and said, "Then... you must protect yourself."
Sang Yu nodded.
Only then did Yu Zhiheng turn around and leave.
Sang Yu stood at the door, watching Yu Zhiheng's figure slowly getting smaller. She didn't know how long she stood there before she came to her senses and cheered up to go to Qilai County.
The situation in the county became increasingly out of control. In just a few hours, the entire pharmacy was almost surrounded by patients.
Perhaps because the city gates were closed, everyone was very panicked. Some people stayed indoors, some people started buying food, and some people packed up their belongings and prepared to escape from the city.
Fortunately, the officers and soldiers arrived in time and stabilized the situation.
But new problems also emerged.
Refugees had been entering the city for a long time, and more and more local people were infected.
In addition, officers and soldiers were patrolling the streets, causing panic among the people, and some even took the opportunity to burn, kill and loot.
Food became the most scarce thing.
A bag of rice or a piece of vegetable has become a serious problem.
Outside the city gate, Lin Yueyue and Qi Chunyu sat in the carriage, anxiously waiting for the servant who had gone out to gather information to come back.
There was a commotion outside the carriage. Lin Yueyue nervously held it up with both hands. Qi Chunyu carefully lifted the curtain and took a look.
Outside, there were people in ragged clothes. They looked haggard, some of them had flushed faces and were coughing constantly.
"Why are there suddenly so many refugees?" Nie Jiayu lowered the car curtain in panic.
"No, no, we can't stay here any longer, we have to hurry and leave!"
There are more and more refugees now, and some of them are obviously sick. Their carriages are so conspicuous. What if...
"Can you drive a car?" Qi Chunyu asked Lin Yueyue beside him.
Lin Yueyue was so scared now that she raised her head in panic and shook it quickly.
How could this happen? She had only followed Qi Chunyu to the farm outside the city to take a look, so why was the city gate closed when she came back?
Why would the city gate be closed in broad daylight?
The sudden situation made her feel dazed.
"Aren't you a peasant girl? How can a peasant girl not drive a cart?"
Lin Yueyue felt both wronged and humiliated.
"I...my family can't afford a carriage."
Qi Chunyu: ...
What should I do? I can’t even curse.
"There are rich people here, so there must be food."
Someone outside the carriage shouted, and immediately a large number of people gathered around. The originally stable carriage began to shake violently.
