Qizhou County, Jiang family.

Jiang Changhai was talking to his most important eldest grandson, Jiang Pengyue, about the Qi family.

"Or grandfather has no last resort, this time the Qi family really planted a big heel and let our Jiang family pick up a bargain, but grandfather, I don't understand, where did you put those curly cypress grass?"

This question has been in Jiang Pengyue's heart for a long time, and it is not the first time he has asked it, every time Jiang Changhai smiles mysteriously, looking like he is in his chest.

The last time in the city lord's mansion, the Qi family caught the Jiang family by surprise and directly signed a contract with the Great Zhou army. Although Jiang Pengyue has always been resourceful, in that case, he really has no way to reverse the situation, but when people are unprepared, Jiang Pengyue took some new injuries from the Qi family and brought them back.

It's a pity that the refining method of the Qi family's new wound medicine is different from the past, so the best alchemists of the Jiang family have studied together for a long time, and they have only identified a few of the medicinal materials.

Curly cypress is one of them.

Curly cypress grass, also known as immortal grass, is a kind of herb that grows on the edge of an arid desert, when there is an extreme shortage of water, the roots can separate from the soil on their own, curl up like a fist, move with the wind, and glory when encountering water, and the roots burrow into the soil again to find water.

Cypress grass is very cheap, generally used for pregnant women dystocia, take the cypress grass in the mouth, chew it and swallow its juice, will use the effect of normal delivery.

It is used to make wound medicine to stop bleeding, but it is still the first of the Qi family!

When Jiang Changhai learned that the Qi family's injury medicine contained curly cypress grass, he decided to do something from it.

Although curly cypress grass is a very worthless low-grade medicinal herb, Qizhou County is not the origin of curly cypress grass, and I believe that even if it is the Qi family, there will not be a lot of inventory.

In the whole Great Zhou, probably only Wangchun County, which is close to the Guanwai, has a large amount of curly cypress grass.

Jiang Changhai immediately decided to send someone to Wangchun County to buy all the curly cypress grass there, and at the same time, in order to prevent the Qi family from already having curly cypress grass on the road, he even sent someone to ambush on the way back to Qizhou County from Wangchun County and robbed all the curly cypress grass.

Sure enough, when the Qi family was still immersed in the joy of defeating the Jiang family, no one found out about the crisis at all.

It wasn't until they used up all the curly cypress grass that they found that none of the team that was supposed to come back had returned.

When Qi Taixiang, the patriarch of the Qi family, sent someone to Wangchun County to inquire, he learned that the person who bought the curly cypress grass had already returned from Wangchun County.

At this time, no matter how stupid Qi Taixiang was, he knew that someone must have targeted the Qi family.

In the entire Qizhou County, how many family forces dare to argue with the Qi family?

The people who dared to do this, except for the Jiang family, Qi Taixiang didn't think about it at all!

Qi Taixiang wanted to find out the flaws of the Jiang family while repurchasing the curly cypress grass, but until the people who collected the medicine from the Great Zhou military came over, he didn't do either thing.

The battle at the border pass was imminent, but the Qi family failed to deliver the wound medicine needed in the army on time, and the people of the Great Zhou military were furious, and they didn't listen to any explanation from Qi Taixiang at all, and directly threw him into prison.

At the same time, the Qi family was ordered to deliver all the wound medicine needed in the army within three days, and if it was not delivered if it was outdated, not only Qi Taixiang, the head of the Qi family, would be beheaded, but all the people of the Qi family would be implicated.

"What kind of person? Martial law is already here, and idle people can't wait to approach!" The soldier guarding in front of the Yaowangfang saw a little girl of twelve or thirteen years old walking towards this direction, and immediately scolded.

Qi Huan stopped: "This big brother, has the Qi family committed something, why are you surrounding their house?"

"Go away, you little girl's family, ask so much what to do, it's none of your business!"

Qi Huan looked at the fiercely speaking soldiers, dispelled the idea of entering the workshop, and turned around and walked in the direction of the City Lord's Mansion.

In the city lord's mansion, Lord Jin, the person in charge of the Great Zhou military, was also in a hurry.

"I said, Lord City Lord, you are the head snake of Qizhou County, do you really have no clue at all? So many medicinal herbs disappeared at once, even if they were burned, there should be a pile of ashes, right?"

The fat city lord had a bitter look on his face: "Lord Jin, this city lord is also wondering, you said so many herbs, why doesn't it have any clues at all! Otherwise, you first bring the Jiang family's injury medicine back to pay off, and other things, let's investigate slowly, and there will always be some clues." ”

The city lord is biased towards the Jiang family from the bottom of his heart, because compared to the Qi family's self-esteem, he never takes him as the city lord in his eyes, and the people of the Jiang family are much more interested.

Lord Jin rolled his eyes and sighed: "I want to too, but after seeing the magic of the Qi family's wound medicine, if I take the Jiang family's wound medicine back, those generals will not tear me up!"

After signing the contract with Qi Taixiang, the bearded man brought some samples back, the magical effect of those samples, the generals in the various armies have witnessed it with their own eyes, if Lord Jin dares to go back with the Jiang family's previous wound medicine, those front-line generals will not listen to his explanation, and directly greet him with a big fist, and he will have nowhere to reason when the time comes!

This is also the reason why although the Jiang family has always been courteous to him, and the city lord has always said good things for the Jiang family, he has never spit out to let the Jiang family replace the Qi family.

After learning that the Qi family had not prepared the wound medicine needed in the Great Zhou army on time, Lord Jin packed all the wound medicines that the Qi family could deliver and sent them to the army first, and at the same time secretly searched for the location of the missing cypress grass with the city lord according to the clues Qi Taixiang said.

I hope that the herbs can be retrieved in time and the wound medicine can be refined in time.

But the cypress grass seemed to have evaporated from this world overnight, and there was no trace of it.

Lord Kim scratched his somewhat sparse head and sighed.

A guard from the City Lord's Mansion said outside the door: "City Lord, Lord Jin, there is a little girl outside who asks to see, she says that she is a member of the Qi family and can relieve your worries!"

As soon as Lord Jin heard that someone from the Qi family had come to see him, he thought that he had come to intercede for Qi Taixiang, and immediately said angrily: "Oh, aren't the people of the Qi family all besieged in Yaowangfang?

But the city lord was much calmer, and he heard the last sentence that was ignored by Lord Kim, "I can relieve my worries for adults"!

"Let her in!" Seeing Lord Jin glaring at him, the city lord hurriedly said: "Anyway, the two of us can't think of a better solution at this time, since she said that she can solve our worries, it doesn't hurt to listen to what she has to say!"
