Chapter 309: Medicinal Herbs from the South

readx;

Chen Xiang met my gaze with me, and then said, "Xiaolin, Your Majesty is staying in the town...... I don't really know why. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info”

He paused, looked at me, and said, "But...... There are some rumors in the army, and I have heard about them. ”

I glanced at him and asked in a low voice, "What rumors?" ”

"I heard that it has something to do with the physical condition of the National Teacher."

I stared at Chen Xiang, and as soon as he opened the conversation, he was able to continue to speak.

I know that with his character, it must be like this.

"The National Teacher has traveled all the way to the Northland, and the conditions along the way have not been very good."

Chen Xiang paused and said, "I heard that this was the case as early as the national capital. ”

"He was recuperating in the palace and was hardly seen."

"I heard that the Penglai Pavilion where he lives, not even a bird can fly in," Chen Xiang said in an exaggerated tone.

He paused for a moment and added: "This time the war in the Northland is in the middle of winter, and Your Majesty will bring the National Teacher to the Northland with you...... This didn't even happen to General Gu! ”

In fact, every word Chen Xiang said did not surprise me.

But this isn't the first time I've heard anything like it.

As early as on the way, I had vaguely known the information of Wang Shi's northward march from the mouth of the tsundere boy, but I was not touched by hearing it with my own ears this time.

It's not just because of Chen Xiang, who spoke, he is a person from the king of Sealand.

And because my next destination is ......

So, the moment I heard him say that, my whole body was in a trance!

...... The guards who stayed in the courtyard of the house in Beidi Town have been waiting for the news from Suzhou since Tianfang led people to the mountains to investigate.

So far, however, no news has arrived.

The people sent to wait at the entrance of the town returned, and they arrived at the side house where the guards in the house were located as soon as possible.

"How's it going?"

The guard sitting at the table in the room saw the person who was walking in quickly, and immediately stood up and stepped forward to ask.

"Could it be that the car was delayed on the road, so it hasn't arrived until now?"

According to the expected itinerary and the predicted time, it will arrive in the town in one or two days.

Previously, several people in the room had different guesses in their hearts.

The guard who came back from the news looked embarrassed.

He shook his head and looked at the rest of the people in the room: "There is no appearance near the outside of the town, right now...... I can't figure out what's going on! ”

He paused, and continued: "I look at the inventory at the entrance of the town, even if you arrive outside the town, it will be very difficult to pass smoothly. ”

They all hope that things will be ready when the day comes back......

But looking at the current situation, I'm afraid it will be a bit difficult.

Because of the night attack on the Sealand Royal Division, it was also found that the fine work suspected of being hidden in the army was involved, and it immediately affected the situation in Beidi Town.

The visitor was silent for a moment, then raised his head and said, "It's a little bit ...... When I came back from the town, I passed through the streets of the town, and I heard that the trucks of several pharmacies in Northland Town were almost all delayed in the middle of the road. ”

"Is there such a thing?"

Several people in the room exchanged glances and said with surprised expressions.

Haiguo also has his own shop in the town, and there are people who are familiar with the situation in the town and the northland.

All news that is closely related to the local area will be sent to inquire about familiar people.

"In that case, there may not be an anomaly."

"Hmm...... It's just that everyone is delayed, and the cars coming from the official road are taking longer than expected! ”

There was a lot of discussion in the room.

Later, another guard sitting at the table answered, "It's not just our car, but at the moment we can only take the land route, and there is no other choice. ”

At this time, the river has long been frozen, the waterway is impassable, and the only way to pass is to take the official road.

A bunch of things that Tianfang had arranged before his departure were to be handled by the guards below when he was not in town.

One of the most important is the medicinal herbs that are brought all the way from the south.

This is a sensitive time.

The armies on both sides were waiting in the north, and once the battle began, there would be few bloodshed casualties.

At that time, doctors in the army will be particularly scarce, and of course, there will be medicinal herbs.

In fact, there are hidden crises on both sides of the warring sides, but the war has not yet started, and it has not been mentioned on the surface.

At the moment, the contradiction is not so powerful, mainly because the casualties have not yet appeared, but as long as it starts, the amount of follow-up medicinal materials consumed must be amazing.

In the last earthquake in the Northland, there were injured people in the nearby area, and most of the medicinal materials hoarded by the local pharmacy were consumed.

Naturally, it is an unavoidable fact that it is to treat the local people who have been injured in the disaster.

At this time, several pharmacies in the town are on the road to transport medicinal materials, and they are preparing for the next needs.

In fact, there are some medicinal materials that are already relatively rare, and Northland Town has long been gone.

To sum up, it is precisely because of the above reasons that Tianfang has put the matter of medicinal materials on the agenda as early as the national capital.

It's just that later, there were a lot of miscellaneous things, and the whereabouts of the little junior sister became a fan delayed a lot of effort, but the matter of medicinal materials was put aside.

waited until he returned to Suzhou from the south, and finally brought up the matter.

The people of the eastern mansion of Suzhou City began to make arrangements, and the ships transporting medicinal materials in the national capital city also took the waterway to Suzhou, and then transported them by land carriage.

There are many good things, but I didn't expect a wave of unevenness to arise again.

No one expected that the first-line camp of the Sealand royal division outside Northland Town would be attacked in the middle of the night, and the direct consequence of this would be that the carriages entering the town would be more strictly checked.

The cart transporting medicinal herbs is still on the way!

Originally, the guards were worried that their companions who had received the news outside the town had slowed down, but now it seems that they should not have reached the outside of Northland Town so quickly, but were delayed in ...... farther away.

If you do the math, it should be a position to push forward one or two stops in Northland Town.

Maybe it's on the official road after leaving Suzhou and passing Nanhua Town?

Looking at the map and calculating the itinerary, it seems that this area is the most likely.

...... At this moment, Tianfang went to the mountains outside Northland Town to search for clues, and the affairs of the town were handed over to the guards below.

It is precisely because the guards know that the matter of medicinal materials is very important, so in addition to continuing to look for the traces of the little junior sister, this matter should not be underestimated.

There is more to do than that, the mansions on the other side of the town have to watch the movement, watch when the empress will depart, and pay attention to the clues of the first-line camp.

It can be said that the future of the guards who followed Tianfang to the deep mountains may not be smooth, but the guards who stayed in Beidi Town had a lot of responsibilities, and they also needed to deal with the situation after Tianfang returned.

At this time, the little junior sister who is in the heart of the Lord is in his heart...... Is she in the Northland area at the moment?

Returning to the table and sitting down, several of the guards began to deliberate.

Pay attention to the location of the delivery of medicinal herbs, and for the time being, the guards can only continue to wait for news.

...... The guard sitting at the table looked at his companion opposite, and secretly said in his heart that the lord in the mountain had probably reached the core of the circle at this moment.

Tianfang is not blindly looking in the mountains, there are key areas demarcated, otherwise they would not only go with two escorts.

Because the scope is not as large as expected, Tianfang's focus is on a deep mountain outside the most suspicious Northland Town.

News came intermittently, and the aliens seemed to be more concerned about the location of the area.

"Our lord should be in the mountains, and the time is almost the same."

The guard glanced at his companion looking across and said.

"The Lord went up to the mountains and forests over there, and I'm afraid it is not convenient to receive the news in the town, and it will be delayed if it is not done well."

The guard glanced out the window, and then continued: "It's better for us to be here, the news comes and goes quickly, and it doesn't delay the flying pigeon to pass the book......"

One of the oldest companions among the several people glanced at him and said, "No matter how fast the news is, we know that the car of the medicinal herbs is delayed in the middle of the road, and we have nothing to do for the time being." ”

"However, you can think ahead of time how to get the car into the town smoothly."

His companion's tone sounded quite calm, and the rest of the people felt that it made sense, and their eyes turned to him together.

As a temporary leader, the guards who have been following Tianfang for a long time are the core force of these people to decide things now.

His expression looked unhurried, mainly because he had been by Tianfang's side for a long time, and he had developed a little calmness, which was all cultivated by his ears and eyes.

One of the guards looked at him and said with a hint of hesitation, "Could it be that you are planning to let us out of town to pick us up?" ”

Hearing this, the companion shook his head and emphasized: "Try not to, I originally hoped that the target would be smaller, and it would be a matter of dispatching several people to pick it up!" ”

Several people in the house spoke up one after another: "You can go separately, far away from the town." ”

"Yes, this method works."

"The inventory at the entrance of the town is rigorous, and it is a bit messy if there are many people stranded outside, which is actually a good thing for us."

The guard couldn't help but say: "There are a lot of people, it's easier to get in, and besides, isn't it about the same time as the delay of the medicine store's car?" ”

"When the time comes, the official road will be the same, and the time of arrival will naturally be in succession, maybe ......"

"No, our medicinal herbs are not given to the town's pharmacy," his companion bowed his head and looked at the other people in the room and said in a deep voice, "According to the Lord's plan, they will find a way to cover up when they deliver them before they arrive in the town." ”

"I don't want to give the news."

In this way, the goods on the cart will be disguised, or even deliberately made to look like a caravan, mixing medicinal herbs with other goods.

It is for the purpose of distraction.

After hearing this, the guards rolled their eyes to look at their companions and said, "How did the medicine shop in the town arrive at about the same time as us, could it be that they also have ideas about the war in the Northland?" ”

If you take advantage of the war to raise the price, it seems that it is impossible...... Under the rule of the empress, how could such a thing be allowed to happen!

It's just a bit of a coincidence, and what the guards said is not entirely unreasonable.

Even if the pharmacy didn't have this idea at the beginning, when the war is over, the order will be disrupted.

At that time, I am afraid that those medicinal materials will be used in the army, after all, the number of casualties at the beginning of the war is huge.

The guard paused, looked at his companion and said, "How does the number of medicinal herbs we come in compare to the cars in the town's pharmacy?" ”

After frowning and pondering, his companion said, "This has never been mentioned in previous transmissions, at least the letters I have seen here...... Never mentioned. ”

After thinking about it, he added, "The Lord should know it in his heart. ”

"Probably not too much...... Otherwise, how do you pass the inventory check? ”

The tone of the companion was a little hesitant, they did not receive the exact news, nor did they see the cart carrying the herbs with their own eyes.

At the moment, if they were asked to name the exact amount, of course they couldn't.

"I'm thinking, if we don't find useful clues in the mountains around the Northland, will our lord's trip be delayed?"

One of the guards in the room glanced at several of his companions in the room, and he paused and continued, "After all, it's just suspicion. ”

His thoughts were different from those of the guards who followed the heavens all the way from the south.

Their experience of finding the little junior sister is not as profound as the people who know the inside story by Tianfang's side.

The companion glanced at him and said in a cold tone: "This kind of thing is only said when the Lord is not there. ”

"If the Lord is here, you'd better not mention a word."

My companion knows more about Tianfang than the other people here.

For their own masters, there are some bottom lines that cannot be touched, such as ...... The matter of the little sister.

"Well, I remember just saying it casually," the guard who spoke said in a sloppy tone, a look of embarrassment flashing across his face.

"Did the people who went to spy on the camp come back?"

The companion paused for a moment, his eyes swept over the few people in the room, and he asked Zhengse, looking at their thoughts on their minds.

"I haven't come back yet, I'm continuing to pay attention."

"The Northland King Division is currently under thorough investigation because of the sneak attack at night, and it shouldn't be rash to send troops right now."

"This is something that the Lord said before leaving, because he felt that this trip to the mountains would definitely be in time before the war in the Northland officially began."

The companion replied calmly.

...... "If only the Lord were here, we would hear what the Lord has to say." ”

"If there is no definite news about the location of the cart carrying the medicinal herbs tonight, it is ...... Why don't we send someone out of town tomorrow morning and take a look along the official road? ”

One of the guards in the room thought about it and looked at his companion and asked tentatively.

"If you all have no opinion, it's okay!"

His companion met his gaze, then glanced at the rest of the room, and replied crisply.

"It is precisely because the war in the Northland has not yet been moved, so we must seize the opportunity so that the medicinal herbs can reach the town as soon as possible!" (To be continued.) )
