"Young Master! Young Master! Something bad has happened!"
A burst of exclamations interrupted Chu Yu's breathing, and he had to open his eyes with a frown.
The next moment, Xue Zhining walked in with a girl in armor. Both of them had nervous expressions, which made Chu Yu's heart sink.
"What's going on?"
Xue Zhining took two steps aside, revealing the person following behind her, and motioned for her to speak.
The visitor immediately knelt on one knee and bowed to Chu Yu.
"Young Master, something has happened. Since yesterday morning, some soldiers have been experiencing abdominal pain, vomiting, and other symptoms.
At first, we thought they just had a stomach upset, so we immediately arranged for a military doctor to treat them. But since last night, more and more people have fallen ill.
Most of them even started to have fevers! Just now, my subordinates went to ask the military doctor about the situation, only to find out that the military doctor had escaped at some point!
Now, scattered signs have begun to appear within our Chu family army, and it seems to me that they are most likely poisoned!"
Chu Yu clenched his fists, suppressing the anger surging in his chest. He wanted to say something, but he choked and coughed twice.
Xue Zhining immediately stepped forward and tapped him on the back a few times, "Young Master, don't be angry. Your internal injuries haven't healed yet. But don't worry, I've already sent a message back."
I think a doctor should be sent over soon. But the problem now is that we still don't know whether this is poison or plague.
We must do our best to prevent other people from being infected. In addition, we also need to arrange people to thoroughly check the food and fodder. It is obviously impossible for us to do this alone.
so......"
In Chu Yu's current situation, he can only command the Chu family army. He has no say in other armies.
Qin Zheng has been trying to trip him up a lot recently, just to make him and the Chu family army surrender.
If I ask him for help at this time, he will definitely not agree.
Thinking of this, Chu Yu frowned in worry.
"Take care of our side first. Immediately arrange for those who are sick to be individually cared for in the camp. Also, temporarily separate the Chu family army's food from the main army kitchen."
You immediately arrange two teams to go to the nearest town to purchase a batch of food for emergency use.
Let's observe first. If someone in the camp behind us still falls ill, he will naturally know what to do!"
Xue Zhining nodded, "Okay, I'll make the arrangements right away. In that case, would you like to get some medicine to treat the internal injuries?"
Xue Zhining was hesitant because she had only recently gotten to know Chu Yu's temperament and personality. He was a person who loved to show off, so she didn't want to interfere.
Chu Yu was slightly stunned. "Sure, there happened to be quite a few people injured last time. You can buy more of any herbs you need."
Xue Zhining curled her lips slightly and was about to make arrangements when she suddenly heard the sound of a horn blowing outside.
The three people in the tent were all stunned, and Chu Yu immediately took the lead and rushed out.
In the barracks, the troops quickly prepared themselves, and everyone began to gather hurriedly, except for those who fell ill and could not get up.
Chu Yu's face darkened as he walked towards the direction where the horn sound came from.
"Ouch, why do we have to gather all of a sudden? I have a severe stomachache. Can I not go for now?"
"No! Hurry! The general has summoned you, how dare you slack off! Be careful not to anger the general, or you will be subject to military law!"
"But, but I really feel bad!"
"Yeah, I feel really bad too. My head is dizzy and I keep wanting to vomit. I, I really can't get up!"
"No! Everyone who hasn't fainted, get up! Otherwise, the general will hold everyone accountable and no one will be spared. Hurry up, we only have a quarter of an hour, it's too late!"
"Hey! Come on, let me help you! Go slowly."
"I wouldn't have come if I had known. I just thought that with food and wages, my family would have a better life. If I had known this, I would have been a hard laborer rather than come to this inhumane place."
"Who said it wasn't? Okay, stop nagging. Be careful if someone hears you. You might actually get punished if you're not careful."
......
Several people came out of the tent and ran into Chu Yu with a dark face.
Everyone was instantly trembling with fear, worried that he would punish them if he heard it.
But Chu Yu did not react too much, he just walked away calmly, and soon he arrived at the front of the army.
Everyone gathered quickly, and the gathering point happened to be outside the main camp.
So, even if everyone didn't want to, they could still hear the occasional flirting between Qin Zheng and the woman.
Everyone was extremely embarrassed and kept lowering their heads, not daring to talk about anything. They only occasionally exchanged glances with each other.
Perhaps because everyone was too quiet, the people inside seemed to be unaware of the passage of time and did not stop for a long time.
Chu Yu stood quietly outside, suppressing his patience and waiting for a full quarter of an hour.
Seeing that some of the soldiers who were already unwell began to collapse, his face became darker and darker.
Finally, he couldn't bear it anymore and raised his foot to go in.
Xue Zhining had been paying attention to his movements for a long time. Seeing this, she immediately grabbed his sword and shook her head at him when Chu Yu turned around.
Chu Yu's eyes were always deep. He drew out his sword and cut the curtain of the tent in the middle, revealing the figure inside the tent.
“Ah~~~~”
A pretty scream was heard, followed by a burst of delicate scolding.
"General, I'm scared. You must protect me!"
"Don't be afraid, my beauty. With this general here, they won't dare to act recklessly!"
The noise inside successfully attracted the attention of the soldiers outside. Everyone was speechless for a moment and didn't know what to say.
After comforting the beauty, Qin Zheng rushed out angrily, pointing the tip of his sword at Chu Yu.
"You bastard! What on earth do you want to do? Do you want to rebel? Here, I am the boss. How dare you destroy my tent without my order!
Come, drag him away and punish him with thirty blows of the military stick!"
As he said this, several of his lackeys were about to come over to recruit people.
Xue Zhining became anxious and immediately rushed to Chu Yu to block him, staring at Qin Zheng with a bad look.
"General Qin! If you want to punish him, shouldn't you also look at yourself first? You ignored the wounded and ordered the horn to blow and rush to assemble.
Now that everyone has arrived, you're still flirting with that prostitute in the tent. I'd like to ask, according to military regulations, how many military canes should you receive for such behavior?"
Qin Zheng stared at Xue Zhining with vicious eyes. This damn girl had challenged him many times in the past few years, and he had dealt with her several times, both openly and covertly.
It’s a pity that although this girl looks young and has good kung fu skills, she has never been able to succeed.
Apart from Chu Yu, Xue Zhining is his biggest thorn in the eye!
