With a million soldiers, the empress begged me not to rebel

At this moment, Lu Yan was like a towering mountain, shielding everyone from wind and rain;

At that moment, Chen Qingwan saw the dawn of hope.

Under Lu Yan's leadership, Jingzhou City defeated the plague and restored its former prosperity.

Jingzhou is saved!

This thought burned fiercely in her heart like a wildfire.

"Open the city gate!"

The heavy city gate slowly opened under the push of the soldiers.

The sunlight shone on Lu Yan's body, giving him a layer of golden light.

Make him look like a god descending from heaven.

Lu Yan rode a tall horse and led his team into the city shrouded in plague.

They came with hope and with a mission.

Inside the city gate, Chen Qingwan looked at him quietly, with complex light flashing in her eyes.

There is admiration, gratitude, and a little bit of...love?

Lu Yan was agile and with a beautiful somersault, he landed steadily on the ground, raising a cloud of dust.

He reached out and took a cloth bag handed to him by the accompanying doctor.

The cloth bag is folded neatly into a square shape with clear edges and corners, like a piece of tofu.

He solemnly handed the cloth bag to Chen Qingwan and explained:

"Miss Chen, this is a mask. It can save your life at a critical moment!"

He opened the cloth bag with great care, revealing the neatly folded white masks inside.

"This item is made of precious materials such as heavenly silk, thousand-year-old snow lotus, and ten-thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum."

"After being blessed by 9981 eminent monks for 49 days, it was finally refined."

"It can block all kinds of disease, poison, and miasma, even the foot odor of Wang Ergou next door!"

Lu Yan paused, then took a set of light blue clothes from another doctor.

This piece of clothing is of strange style and is made of an unknown material.

It feels a little rough to the touch, but it is well-cut, simple and elegant, with a futuristic and technological feel.

"This is a protective suit. If you put it on, you will be invulnerable to swords and guns, water and fire, and all poisons!"

Lu Yan spoke nonsense seriously.

Chen Qingwan looked at these unprecedented objects, her heart full of doubts.

Can this thin mask really have such magical effects?

And this protective suit looks weird. Will I look like a big caterpillar when I wear it?

She couldn't help but secretly glance at Lu Yan and saw that he looked serious and didn't seem to be pretending.

I thought to myself: Could it be some lost treasure?

"Miss Chen, this epidemic is very dangerous, it's always better to take comprehensive precautions."

Seeing Chen Qingwan hesitant, Lu Yan added another sentence.

Chen Qingwan thought, since Lu Yan was so serious, these things must be extraordinary.

So she said no more, took the mask and put it on her face carefully.

This mask feels weird on my face and it makes it difficult to breathe, as if I'm wearing a layer of gauze.

She fumbled again as she put the protective suit on.

This protective suit was a bit complicated to put on, and it took her a while to put it on.

Seeing Chen Qingwan finished dressing, Lu Yan nodded with satisfaction and praised:

"Miss Chen is truly a heroine. Wearing this protective suit, she looks so heroic and even more elegant!"

Chen Qingwan felt a little embarrassed by his praise and her face turned slightly red.

Lu Yan also took the mask and protective suit from the doctor and put them on skillfully.

The soldiers behind him followed suit, their movements in unison and with good training.

Suddenly, a group of people in strange clothes appeared at the door of the inn, standing out in the sunlight.

With firm steps, they marched towards Chen Qingwan's temporary residence.

Heading towards the largest inn in the city.

The sun shone on their strange protective suits.

It reflects a plastic-like luster that is particularly eye-catching.

Lu Yan walked in front, with the mask covering half of his face.

Only a pair of bright eyes were revealed.

Chen Qingwan followed closely behind, her protective suit being slightly too big for her.

It makes her look more petite, yet exudes a sense of determination.

The soldiers at the door of the inn saw this group of people in strange clothes.

Everyone's eyes widened.

They whispered to each other, speculating about the origins of these people.

Some say they are strange people in the martial arts world, some say they are gods who have descended to earth, and some say they are monsters in disguise.

"What...what is going on?"

"Shh! Keep your voice down, don't offend the noble!"

Just then, they saw Lu Yan and Chen Qingwan.

The soldiers immediately recognized these two important figures and quickly put away their curiosity.

They saluted respectfully and shouted in unison:

"Meet Mr. Lu, meet the City Lord!"

Lu Yan nodded slightly, indicating that they didn't need to be polite.

The group filed in, and the door of the inn slowly closed behind them.

Inside the inn's lobby, the atmosphere was so solemn that it seemed as if water could drip out.

Several doctors were treating patients, with beads of sweat oozing from their foreheads.

The patient lay on the simple bed, pale and breathing weakly.

Chen Qingwan's face was full of anxiety.

She had never seen such a serious epidemic and didn't know how to deal with it.

She clenched the handkerchief tightly in her hand, and her knuckles turned white.

Lu Yan looked around, taking in everyone's expressions.

He took a deep breath and said in a deep voice:

"In my opinion, this epidemic is caused by cholera, caused by the bacterium Vibrio cholerae."

"It can cause vomiting and diarrhea, rapid dehydration, and even death."

He paused, thinking to himself:

The sanitary conditions in ancient times were simply a paradise for cholera!

Raw water, raw food, vomit and excrement, tsk tsk, it would be strange if there is no infection!

This is not ordinary cholera, but a hellish level of difficulty!

Chen Qingwan frowned, looking worried:

"Mr. Lu is absolutely right. People in the city are in a panic and the epidemic is spreading rapidly."

"I...I really don't know what to do."

As she spoke, she actually took off the token that symbolized the city lord's position.

Chen Qingwan's face was solemn, with a lingering worry between her brows.

She slowly took off the city lord's token from her waist. The token was made of pure gold and engraved with dragon patterns.

It flickered coldly in the dim light.

At this moment, this symbolizes the token of supreme power.

But in Chen Qingwan's hands, it seemed particularly heavy, carrying a huge burden.

"Lu Yan,"

Chen Qingwan's voice was trembling and full of anticipation.

"This time, I'll leave the full command of anti-epidemic matters to you."

She solemnly handed the token to Lu Yan, her eyes full of trust.

Lu Yan took the token firmly without any hesitation.

The heavy touch of the object made him feel the weight of the responsibility on his shoulders.

This is not just a token, but the hope of the people of the entire city, and a choice between life and death.

"Okay!" Lu Yan's voice was sonorous and powerful.

"Since Miss Chen trusts me, I will take on this responsibility!"

He looked around with a sharp gaze.

"Somebody come!"

As soon as he finished speaking, two guards came out immediately.

Kneeling on one knee, he waited respectfully for Lu Yan's instructions.
