Chapter 183 Urgent emergency
Chen Qingwan felt a chill running from the soles of her feet to the top of her head, almost suffocating.
The military camp is now her backbone.
If the military camp also falls, the consequences will be unimaginable!
"how so……"
Chen Qingwan muttered to herself, her voice trembling and almost inaudible.
Li Mu's face was equally terribly gloomy.
Now is not the time to panic. Measures must be taken as soon as possible to control the spread of the epidemic.
"Your Majesty, the barracks must be sealed off immediately and all patients must be isolated!"
Chen Qingwan suddenly came back to her senses. She suppressed her inner fear and ordered in a trembling voice:
"Pass on my order to immediately seal off the military camp and no one is allowed to enter or leave!"
"All soldiers infected with cholera will be quarantined! Anyone who disobeys this order will be executed!"
Although her voice was trembling, it was filled with unquestionable determination. This was her responsibility as an emperor.
It is also her promise to the Datong Dynasty.
Li Mu did not dare to delay and immediately turned around and ran to the military camp, directing the soldiers to isolate and treat them.
He was filled with worry as the cholera epidemic was spreading rapidly.
The slightest carelessness can lead to irreparable disaster.
In Jingzhou City, panic spread like a plague.
There were few pedestrians on the streets, every household stayed indoors, and the air was filled with the smell of death.
Chen Qingwan sat alone in the imperial study, looking at the gloomy sky outside the window, feeling full of powerlessness.
She didn't understand why the situation she had finally stabilized was like this.
Would such a change happen suddenly?
Does God really want to kill Datong?
She rubbed her aching temples, trying to stay awake.
Now was not the time to despair, she had to find a solution.
Suddenly, she thought of Lu Yan.
That man can always create miracles.
Maybe, this time, he can 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 the situation in Jingzhou in detail.
And asked him to come to support.
She wrote quickly, the tip of her pen sliding across the paper, describing her anxious mood at the moment.
After writing the letter, she immediately called the messenger and asked him to deliver the letter to Shannan Prefecture as soon as possible.
The messenger took the letter and did not dare to delay. He immediately spurred his horse and galloped towards Shannan Prefecture.
After the messenger left, Chen Qingwan walked to the window, looked in the direction of Shannan Prefecture, and prayed silently in her heart:
Lu Yan, you must come!
Datong's fate is in your hands!
At this time in Shannan Prefecture, Lu Yan was watching the opening ceremony of the sports meeting with great interest.
Various wonderful performances were performed one after another, which dazzled him and made him happy.
Suddenly, a figure ran over hurriedly, breaking the lively atmosphere.
"Sir, urgent news from Jingzhou!"
The person who came was Ye Xiao. He had a serious expression on his face and held a letter tightly in his hand.
Lu Yan took the letter, opened it, and the smile on his face froze instantly...
After reading the letter, Lu Yan's face turned dark.
Blacker than the bottom of a pot, blacker than coal.
The originally cheerful atmosphere froze in an instant, and the air seemed to have turned into thick paste, making it difficult to breathe.
He crumpled the letter into a ball and threw it hard on the ground.
It was as if he wanted to vent all his anger on this thin piece of paper.
"Damn it! Why did this damn cholera break out at this very moment?"
Lu Yan's roar exploded in the air.
"Ye Xiao, 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 melon seeds in his hand fell to the ground with a "clatter".
After realizing what was happening, he quickly ran to find someone, shouting:
"Lu Fei! Zhang Xun! Han Sheng! Li Kui! The master is calling you! Hurry!"
After a while, Lu Fei, Zhang Xun, Han Sheng and Li Kui all arrived in a hurry.
Lu Fei still had half a roasted chicken leg in his hand.
While gnawing on a chicken leg, he asked vaguely:
"What happened, my Lord?"
Zhang Xun and Han Sheng's faces were covered with actors' oil paint, making them look like clowns in operas.
One has a red face and the other has a white face, they look like they ran straight off the stage.
Only Li Kui held his big knife tightly in his hand.
He looked like he was ready to chop someone at any time, his face was as serious as a stone.
It was as if someone owed him millions of taels of silver.
"What happened, my Lord?"
Lu Fei asked again. This time he finally swallowed the chicken leg and spoke more clearly.
Lu Yan ignored him and told everyone about the situation in Jingzhou with a gloomy face.
"Cholera has broken out in Jingzhou, and the military camp has also been infected. The situation is critical!"
Lu Yan's voice was low and powerful, and every word hit everyone's heart like a heavy hammer.
After hearing this, everyone became dispirited.
"I have decided to go to Jingzhou to provide support!"
"Sir, I'll go with you!"
Lu Fei, Zhang Xun and Han Sheng said in unison.
"I'm going too!" Night Owl also stood up, even though he was scared to death just now.
But now he chose to follow Lu Yan without hesitation.
"No! My Lord, you can't go!"
Li Kui suddenly roared.
"Don't you care about the people of this city? Don't you care about Shannan Prefecture? We are still at war!"
"If something happens to you at this critical moment, what do you want us to do?"
Li Kui was a little excited and spit all over Lu Yan's face.
Lu Yan was not angry, he knew that Li Kui was doing it for his own good.
"Xiao Kui, I know you are worried about me, but I have to go!
Jingzhou is an important strategic location. If Jingzhou falls, the consequences will be unimaginable!
And what will we do if cholera spreads to Shannan Prefecture?"
Li Kui wanted to say something else but was interrupted by Lu Yan.
"Alright, no need to say any more, my decision will not change! Ye Xiao, you will stay in Shannan Prefecture and be responsible for all affairs in the city.
Lu Fei, you will be responsible for arranging the musket regiment and be ready to support Jingzhou at any time. Zhang Xun, you will be responsible for mobilizing the cavalry and be on standby at any time.
Han Sheng, you will be in charge of the infantry and strengthen the city defense. Xiao Kui, you will come with me to Jingzhou!"
Lu Yan's tone left no room for doubt, as if he had given a final order.
Seeing that he had made up his mind, everyone stopped trying to dissuade him.
"Yes!" Everyone responded in unison.
Cholera is raging, Jingzhou is in emergency!
The epidemic is like a tiger descending from the mountain, and the people are suffering terribly.
Lu Yan was extremely anxious and had to take action immediately!
This cholera is more dangerous than an enemy invasion. It cannot be seen or touched, but it can kill people invisibly!
A light bulb went off in my head, and I remembered the masks and protective suits I had seen in my previous life. These are powerful weapons against the plague!
"Come here! Gather the best tailors and craftsmen in the city immediately. I have something important to discuss with you!"
As soon as Lu Yan gave an order, the government office immediately became busy.
