A lot of things happened this winter, almost all of them were about war, and all the three major powers were involved in the war this winter. After several major wars, people will find that none of the three major powers have reaped the benefits: the Lower Tang Dynasty poured all its national strength to fight this protracted war, but at this time, the occupied cities were recaptured by the Great Liang one by one, and in order to save the defeat, the ace army sailors were dispatched, but as soon as they appeared, they disappeared without a trace, making it difficult for the Lower Tang Dynasty to ride a tiger; Xiliang originally reached an alliance with Xia Tang, but he turned against him at the end of the battle, but Daliang didn't seem to buy it, so that Xiliang ended up unflattering to both sides; Daliang was not destroyed but there were two military forces, the court was still struggling, there was a spark at the end of Mobei, but for the people of Daliang, should they believe in the court or the former King of Yu?

In the chaos, the people are the most suffering, and they have done nothing wrong, but once the war is ignited, they are the first to be hurt. The people not only have to bear higher and higher taxes, but also send men to serve in the army, and the rest cannot escape the impact of the war. Otherwise, how could they say, "Xing, the people are bitter; Death, the people suffer".

If you want to say that life is better in Daliang, it may be the people of Annan. Annan is far away from the front line of the war, and there is also a Yinzhou between it and the Tang Dynasty, and Yinzhou is still the land of Daliang, so Annan is relatively stable. All this is naturally thanks to Annan's assassination of Shi Chen Jiale, but if he wants to say who he will be more grateful to, his most likely answer is Bai Yuting. It is precisely with the Bai family in Annam that the people of Annam can live and work in peace and contentment.

This is not an exaggeration, as the largest and most successful pharmaceutical merchant in Daliang, the Bai family's business is already all over the five major countries, and in this Daliang country, everyone at the level of assassination has to give Bai Yuting a few thin noodles. What's more, at the end of the war, the Bai family's medicinal materials have become more sought-after, the reason is that the efficacy of the Bai family's medicine is stronger than that of others.

Up to now, the imperial court has continuously purchased hundreds of thousands of taels of silver medicinal materials from the Bai family to supply the front line, which has directly changed the limelight of the Bai family to the Su family in the capital, and Bai Yuting has become the richest man in Daliang. But what people didn't expect was that under such circumstances, few people said that the Bai family was making a fortune, so I had to praise Bai Yuting's methods.

Bai Yuting's methods are simply two: one is to choose the best medicinal materials purchased by the imperial court and keep the price as low as possible; Second, the Bai family mobilized almost all the medicine households in Annan and even other farmers to help the Bai family, and the Bai family paid wages according to working hours. These two moves were directly approved and approved by the imperial court, and won the Bai family a reputation for saving the country through industry.

In order to continue to support the use of the Great Liang War, Bai Yuting has been busy for several months, and the affairs of the family are fully handed over to Bai Luoyao. In fact, Bai Luoyao also has to help with the medicinal material industry many times, but she will also free up her hands from time to time to help her sister, in fact, the Bai family is taken care of by the two sisters.

After all, Bai Zhirui was born blind, and Bai Luoyao was still not at ease about many things, so she would personally deal with most things, and one of them was that no matter how busy she was, she would never forget.

"Miss, this is today's battle report!"

As soon as he heard the war report, Bai Luoyao immediately stood up and took the letter and opened it, what the letter said was the war in Mobei, but there were only a few words about the war, but he had a lot of ink on one of them. After reading the battle report, Bai Luoyao showed a tired smile.

"It's okay, it's okay, he's still alive." Bai Luoyao didn't know what kind of affection he had for him, from the bits and pieces that began in Qingshan Academy to the accumulation of good feelings later, it has been a long time since they left the academy, but Bai Luoyao has never forgotten him, if it weren't for her father's opposition at the beginning, she might have told him her heart.

But if he had said it, what would he have done? The princess is a golden branch and jade leaf, and they are too far away from each other, and now that the princess is also married, it is time to show her heart. Bai Luoyao was talking to herself, she carefully put the letter into the box, there were already many similar letters, but the content of it was only known to her.

Bai Luoyao originally wanted to go to Mobei to find him, but he was still stopped by his father, and for some reason, the more his father blocked him, the more obvious he missed him in his heart. In this year, Bai Luoyao also had to face the reality that he was about to say goodbye to the age of twenty, and sometimes seeing Bai Zhirui's seventeen youth, Bai Luoyao's heart was full of envy.

As the daughter of the Bai family, Bai Luoyao already bears the responsibility of the family, which requires her to restrain her feelings as much as possible and put the family first in everything. Bai Yuting has thought about it many times over the years, and the fast son-in-law he is looking for for Bai Luoyao is nothing more than a business tycoon and a high-ranking official, which even includes Su Qingfeng's son Su Qian, but no matter who Bai Yuting is looking for, the result is the same, and Bai Luoyao refuses.

As soon as she thought of this, Bai Luoyao was inexplicably upset, she put down the pen and paper and began to walk towards the backyard of the Bai family's mansion, this backyard was originally the inner courtyard of the Bai family, ordinary people were not allowed to trespass, at the end of this backyard there was a small courtyard that was the quietest, there had been no one living there for many years, and no one had stepped into it for many years. Bai Luoyao went to this small courtyard this time, if he walked from the front yard of the Bai family to this small courtyard, it would take half an hour, but in order not to be discovered as much as possible, Bai Luoyao still chose to go by himself.

Pushing the door in, I saw Yuan Xiang squatting on the side grinding medicine, and when I saw Bai Luoyao coming, Yuan Xiang hurriedly got up and said, "Miss, you're here!" ”

"How's the medicine?"

"Everything is being done according to the instructions of the eldest lady, in order not to let people find out that I have even given up the decoction now, all the medicines are ground out by myself."

"That's good, show me the finished product."

Bai Luoyao took the box of pills handed over by Yuan Xiang, there were a total of nine pills in the box, and the pills were the same size at every moment, and the pills exuded a ghostly blue luster all around them. Bai Luoyao sniffed lightly with her nose, she was already familiar with this medicinal smell. Yuan Xiang stood nervously and stared, looking at her appearance, she seemed to be very concerned about whether her achievements could be affirmed by Bai Luoyao.

"The craftsmanship is getting better and better, and this batch is doing very well."

Being praised by Bai Luoyao like this, Yuan Xiang was finally relieved, exhaled heavily, and her face became a little better.

"Alright, let me in."

Bai Luoyao and Yuan Xiang slowly walked into the only small building in the courtyard, their actions were very careful, trying not to make any noise. Upon entering the small building, there was a large room with a desk, a round table, several stools, and a large wooden bed, on which a man lay down. Other than that, there was no other furnishings in the house, everything was necessary, and all the dispensables were taken away.

Bai Luoyao stepped forward and sat on the edge of the bed gently, lightly opened his lips and called, "Wake up, it's time to take medicine." ”

The body lying on the dress moved, and he turned around with difficulty and a little hesitation, his messy hair covering his face, and his body covered with a thick quilt, so he couldn't see anything.

Bai Luoyao opened the pill box and said to the person: "It's time to take the medicine, but today I have to make it clear to you, this is the thirty-fifth day, if you take this medicine for another half a month, the consequences are clear to you." ”

The lying man nodded firmly, and was about to reach out to take the pill, as soon as he stretched out his hand, the arm exposed by the sleeve was covered with black veins, all of which were raised on the surface of the skin, as if there were countless black earthworms lying on the person's arm, no matter how you look at it, it is terrifying. If it were someone else, I was afraid that I would scream at the moment, but what Bai Luoyao's eyes had in his eyes was only distress.

"Don't worry, the pills are here, I'm still the same, I have to ask you again every time, even if you give up today, there is still a chance to recover people, if you ......."

Without waiting for Bai Luoyao to finish speaking, this person straightened up directly and snatched the box in Bai Luoyao's hand, took out a pill and swallowed it directly, with a neat movement. After eating one pill, hold the rest in your arms and lie down again.

"I don't want to see you become like that, Su Qian sent you here in the hope that I could save you! I hope you can become a normal person again, not a monster made by my own hands! ”

Bai Luoyao's crying words may have touched this person, he sat up and turned his back to Bai Luoyao, and said in an extremely hoarse voice: "I don't regret it, just for revenge." ”

"Even if that arrow has been quenched with poison, but my Bai family has the best medicine in the world, even if it can't guarantee your longevity, it can protect you for ten years, why do you choose this path?"

The man stopped talking and lay down again, even covering his head with a quilt. Yuanxiang wanted to step forward to comfort her, but Bai Luoyao couldn't control it anymore, she ran to the yard and cried alone for a while. Her crying was not visible to anyone, and she wished he could be by her side at this moment.

"Miss?"

"I need you to go to Mobei."
