Chai Yan ran all the way out of the camp gate, and Chong Jiu and other people shouted: "Go to the town immediately, notify Chief Hang and Meng Ruhu, and ask them to lead people to block the road to here, quickly!"
Cheng Jiu was shocked and immediately asked: "Sir, is it really a plague?"
Guan Maochun and Yu Tie also stared at Chai Yan closely.
Chai Yan nodded heavily and replied: "Yes, so we must control the epidemic immediately and isolate Beiying from other places, otherwise the epidemic will spread and the consequences will be serious!"
The three of them immediately nodded vigorously after hearing this.
Immediately afterwards, Cheng Jiu asked again: "Sir, we have gone to town, do you still want to stay here?"
Chai Yan said sternly: "Yes, I will stay to help, you go quickly!"
"But sir, this thing called plague..." Cheng Jiu said worriedly.
Chai Yan shook his head and said: "Don't worry, I am invulnerable to all poisons!"
With that said, Chai Yan urged the three of them to get on the carriage, which immediately started and galloped towards Hukou Town.
After the carriage left, Chai Yan turned around and said to the soldiers guarding the camp gate: "General Jiang has ordered that the camp gate be closed immediately. No one is allowed to leave the camp without his permission!"
............................
Back in the camp, Chai Yan found that everything was in chaos.
At this time, many soldiers were running towards the martial arts field under the urging of several captains. Some were disheveled, some were frightened and nervous, and some were cursing and seemed extremely irritable...
Chai Yan took a quick look and realized that these people had normal faces and were considered to be temporarily healthy people.
Chai Yan shuttled among the crowd, constantly looking for Jiang Yongshuang, but could not find him for a long time.
"Have you seen General Jiang?"
In desperation, Chai Yan had no choice but to grab a soldier passing by and ask.
"I didn't see it." The soldier shook his head and ran to the martial arts field.
Chai Yan asked three or four questions in a row, and finally found out that Jiang Yongshuang had gone to the kitchen.
Following the direction pointed by the soldier, Chai Yan came to the camp kitchen and saw Jiang Yongshuang and Zhong Shida.
At this time, both of their faces were covered with white cloths. Zhong Shida was talking to Jiang Yongshuang about something. Jiang Yongshuang's brows were furrowed and he looked very angry.
"General Jiang!" Chai Yan called and ran over.
Jiang Yongshuang turned around and saw that the person coming was actually Chai Yan, and he couldn't help but feel a little surprised on his face.
Zhong Shida was also surprised. He had been investigating the source of the disease and didn't know Chai Yan had come to the camp.
"Master Chai, haven't you left yet?"
Jiang Yongshuang asked this question because he felt that Chai Yan would definitely use an excuse to inform the town to stay away from Beiying, but who knew that Chai Yan did not leave.
Chai Yan came over and said very seriously: "General Jiang, my people have already gone to the town. I believe someone will send medicinal materials soon, and at the same time, the roads will be blocked and isolation measures will be taken!"
Jiang Yongshuang asked in surprise: "Master Chai, who would send medicinal materials at this time?"
Chai Yan said: "General Jiang, I am familiar with Shopkeeper Wu of Huichun Hall. There is a plague here, and they will definitely not sit idly by and ignore it!"
"Thank you so much, Mr. Chai!"
Jiang Yongshuang was immediately relieved and happy. There was a shortage of medical treatment and medicine in the camp. If there were medicinal materials from Huichun Hall, hundreds of people in the camp would be saved.
Chai Yan said: "General Jiang, don't say these kind words for now. Many people are in a panic mood right now, and the morale of the military is quite unstable. You have to hurry up and stabilize everyone!"
Jiang Yong nodded solemnly and said: "Master Chai is right, I'm going to the martial arts field right away, and I can't cause any trouble!"
"Captain Zhong, I leave this place to you!"
After Jiang Yongshuang finished speaking, he led two soldiers and hurriedly ran to the martial arts field.
"But General..."
Zhong Shida wanted to speak, but Jiang Yongshuang was already far away.
Chai Yan saw that Zhong Shida's eyes were very uneasy and unsure, so he asked: "Colonel Zhong, what's going on here?"
Zhong Shida sighed and said: "Master Chai, it's like this. Just now General asked me to investigate the source of the plague. I led people to look around and found out that the source is here!"
"Is it your cook who got sick first?" Chai Yan asked in shock.
"Not the cook, but the person who helps the cook!" Zhong Shida said.
Zhong Shida truthfully told Chai Yan that at the beginning, the soldiers in the camp were all healthy and no one had symptoms of vomiting or diarrhea. However, since a few helpers were sent to the kitchen, the situation has become very different.
The few people who helped in the kitchen were all remaining bandits, prisoners captured by the soldiers of the Beiying camp. Because the cooks and the cooks wanted to save effort and be lazy, they proposed to bring these prisoners over to help in the cooking. Unexpectedly, there were already some prisoners among them.
Carrying the plague virus......
Then, the plague gradually spread in the camp through the daily meals while they were helping in the kitchen!
After Zhong Shida said this, he was very angry and swore that he would deal with the man who agreed to call the prisoners to help in the kitchen, because he had harmed the whole camp!
Chai Yan thought differently. After thinking for a moment, he asked: "Colonel Zhong, where are the prisoners?"
Zhong Shida immediately pointed in a direction and said: "Lock him up!"
"Can you take me to see it?" Chai Yan said.
Zhong Shida nodded and asked: "Yes, but Master Chai, those prisoners are the source of the plague, so you are not afraid..."
"It's okay, I have a good physique and I'm not afraid of any disease!" Chai Yan said.
Zhong Shida only felt that Chai Yan was showing off, but since he took the initiative, he had no choice but to take him with him.
Before leaving, Chai Yan also specifically told the soldiers present not to touch the things in the kitchen casually. Even if they were to be used, they had to be scalded with boiling water first.
Under the guidance of Zhong Shida, Chai Yan quickly saw the cells in the camp.
It is said to be a cell, but it is actually an artificial cave. The soldiers dug it themselves, then installed wooden bars at the entrance of the cave and added a lock to become a cell.
When the two came to the cell, two soldiers with knives walked out of the cell. Their knives were still stained with blood, and they looked very angry.
"You two, what's going on?" Zhong Shida understood something as soon as he saw the two of them.
When Soldier A saw that the person coming was Zhong Shida, he said: "Colonel Zhong, we just killed all those prisoners!"
"Kill him?" Zhong Shida was stunned and immediately asked: "Who asked you to kill him?"
Soldier B replied: "It's Chen Tianming. He said that the prisoners have all contracted the plague, and those who survived will be a group of scourges, so he asked us to come over and get rid of these people."
Zhong Shida turned to look at Chai Yan: "Master Chai, what should we do now..."
Chai Yan was very decisive and loudly shouted to Soldier A and Soldier B: "Bring out the bodies of the prisoners immediately, pile them up and burn them cleanly!"
Soldier A and Soldier B didn't know who Chai Yan was, so they both looked at Zhong Shida blankly.
Zhongshida immediately shouted: "Stop being dumb and do as you are told!"
