Chapter 1649: Inspiring Generals
Two days passed in a flash.
Yan Ruyu took the pulse of the injured person brought back by Yinding.
Yinding looked anxious at the side: "Princess, how is it?"
"The high fever has subsided a little, and the wound has stopped getting worse, but it's hard to say when he will wake up. His body is too weak."
Yan Ruyu sighed softly: "If it weren't for his strong mind, I'm afraid he wouldn't have been able to hold on until this time."
Yinding nodded: "Princess, please take care of me. He must have something important to tell me."
Yan Ruyu glanced at him. It was rare to see Yinding so serious.
"Don't worry, I will try my best."
The silver ingot has made this person's origin clear. He is indeed from Shencheng, but not from the city, but from a village outside the city.
When Yinding was in Shencheng, he once played as a forward near their village. This young man brought the villagers to help, delivering dry food and running errands.
After just over a month together, Yinding and he got along very well.
After the war, they continued to keep in touch. The young man's family had a few acres of land, and he would go to send some silver ingots after the harvest.
Before leaving Shencheng, Yinding specifically told Jiang Paopao that if the young man came again, he should tell him that he would visit the village when he came back in the future.
Who would have thought that when we met again, this would be the scene.
The young man's life hangs by a thread.
Yan Ruyu was also worried about what was happening in Shencheng. She knew that he had risked his life and been injured to come here, so it must be something important.
Even if the silver ingots are not mentioned, we will do our best to rescue them.
He was given an injection and some medicine, and then his men were ordered to boil some red fruit in water and feed him some from time to time.
Just after finishing the work, Huo Changhe and Jiang Paopao also came.
Huo Changhe has been busy these two days, but since the young man was rescued, he has taken time to visit him every day.
"How's it going?"
"The high fever has subsided, but he is still not awake. His life is not in danger for the time being."
Huo Changhe exhaled lightly: "That's good."
Yan Ruyu frowned slightly: "My Lord, is there still no news from Army Doctor Cao?"
Doctor Cao sent a pigeon message only once before arriving in Shencheng. After entering the city, there was no news.
Although two days is not a long time, Yan Ruyu still feels uneasy.
"Not yet," Huo Changhe was also a little worried, "I have sent someone to the Qian family's pharmacy and asked them to send a pigeon to ask."
Doctor Cao's trip was a secret. Huo Changhe and Yan Ruyu didn't know what he was like or how to arrange it. It would be safer to go through the Qian family's channels.
Yan Ruyu was looking forward to it, hoping that the news would be sent back as soon as possible.
……
At this time, Doctor Cao was at the West Market Pharmacy Street.
Yaohang Street was originally a medium-sized street in the West Market. Especially since the two countries stopped fighting and began peaceful trade, many tea, silk, horses and other products have been sold here.
But this time when Doctor Cao arrived at Yaohang Street, he found that there were a lot more people here. From the beginning to the end of the street, there were people everywhere.
He stood at the street corner for a while, watching the people pushing carts selling medicinal herbs. Some herbs that were used to replenish qi and nourish the body were sold very slowly, while the carts selling herbs on the medicine list were almost emptied as soon as they arrived.
Quan Dao asked in a low voice: "Master, do you want to go in and take a look?"
Doctor Cao remembered that Huo Changhe told him that it was a drug store owned by a small drug dealer, who was a person planted there by Huo Changhe.
He had originally decided that when he returned to Shencheng, he would first contact the small drug dealer there.
But now, he has changed his mind.
If nothing happened in Shencheng, then he could go, but now things were obviously different, so he still had to be careful. It was not easy for Huo Changhe to place someone there, and in special times, such people became even more precious.
It’s better to get a general understanding of the situation first, just in case he is just overly suspicious.
He held out a glimmer of hope.
He walked in with Quan Dao and Su Wen, asking some small medicine vendors as he walked. He found out that someone was buying these medicines in large quantities, and the price was much higher than usual.
He thought that if others could do it, he could do it too.
As for money, Huo Changhe gave him a lot when he came. Even if it was not enough, he could still borrow from the Qian family. If all else failed, there was still Xiao Chiye.
I will never have trouble with money.
Thinking of this, he decided to confront whoever was in charge of collecting the medicinal materials first, maybe that would spark something.
He did what he said. Doctor Cao had been following Huo Changhe for a long time and was fearless and courageous.
"How much do you plan to sell this car for?"
"According to the prices here, it should be at least three taels." The small medicine vendor was happy, because normally these could not even be sold for one tael.
"Well, I want this herb, four ounces, how about that?"
Doctor Cao took out the silver as he spoke.
The small medicine vendor's eyes lit up. There were too many people over there and he had to queue up. Now he could sell it directly and there were more than over there. It was really good.
"Okay!" he agreed readily.
"Do you have any friends who still have these herbs? If so, I want them all."
The medicine vendor put away the silver and said, "Yes, there is, but not much. You are late. We have been collecting money here for two or three days. It's almost gone."
"It doesn't matter. I'll take any amount." Doctor Cao said, and gave him another tael. "This is for your errands."
"Okay, I'll go ask for you."
The small medicine vendor called out and said he was buying them at a high price, so many people came over to sell them to Doctor Cao.
Quan Dao came over to help, and Su Wen stood beside Military Doctor Cao, never leaving his side.
In just a quarter of an hour, Su Wen discovered something was wrong.
"Someone is watching us."
Doctor Cao nodded: "It's okay. They wouldn't dare to do anything on the street. I was just afraid they wouldn't come."
"Are there too many people? Can we handle it?"
Su Wen glanced at the crowd and was sure there were three of them.
"Not much, it should be fine."
As soon as he finished speaking, someone grabbed Doctor Cao's sleeve.
"Boss, I have medicinal herbs at home, too. How do you collect these?"
Doctor Cao turned around and saw it was a bee whistle.
He changed his appearance simply, but Doctor Cao was still able to recognize him.
"How did you come?"
"Don't worry, I will pretend that I don't know you. Being a spy is my job. I will go around and ask around."
Doctor Cao thought about it and said in a low voice, "Call Mu Wu as well. Someone is targeting us. I'm afraid Su Wen can't handle it alone."
"We came here together. He was nearby. He noticed something was wrong and asked me to come and tell you."
Doctor Cao was now relieved, thinking that the people sent by Huo Changhe were indeed capable.
One person in the crowd retreated, and Mu Wu, who was not far away, immediately followed him.
Mu Wu is also good at martial arts and is a very good brother to Song Ping. He and Song Ping knew each other the earliest.
Song Ping had not originally planned to send him this time, he had fought for it on his own.
He had gone out several times but had not gotten any opportunity. He had been enjoying the benefits in the palace and really wanted to do something to help.
He and Su Wen had a good relationship and they had a tacit understanding. After thinking it over again and again, Song Ping agreed.
Mu Wu followed him and secretly made up his mind that he must perform well this time and strive to make merit.
