Chapter 253: Crisis
"Go, send someone to keep an eye on them, if you have any news, you must report it in time, and speed up the refining of those poisonous people~" Lin Zhiwen ordered with a cold face.
"Yes, my lord~" Master Zhang hurriedly answered, walked out quickly, the door closed behind him, his legs were weak and he almost sat on the ground, and the little guy next to him stretched out his hand with concern, wanting to help Master Zhang, but was waved away by Master Zhang like a fly.
His legs trembled slightly, and he left the Lin Mansion.
-------
In the open space in the north of the city, countless cauldrons were erected, and the medicinal herbs in them were bubbling, and the medicinal herbs in this pot were boiling from dawn to dark, and there were countless medicine boys next to them, as well as guards with knives who were strictly guarding.
After each brew, a medicine boy would put the medicine in a wooden barrel with a scoop, and a special soldier would carry it to the camp, where the doctor would decide how much to take according to the condition of the patients in each tent.
Even so, in the evening, when Dr. Zhu went home after checking her pulse, Lu Yue felt that her arm was about to break, and she shouted to ask Dr. Zhu to give her two injections to make her arm feel better.
As a result, the needle was not pricked, but was mercilessly ridiculed by Zhu Qing.
was so angry that Lu Yue chased Zhu Qing and beat him, and several people laughed and laughed all the way back to the mansion.
In the dead of night, Lu Yue quickly changed into a night suit, quickly slipped out of the house, and rushed outside.
Tonight, she was going to explore the master's mansion again, but as soon as she climbed over the wall, she was blocked by someone, and her eyes were firmly fixed on the man in black in front of her.
Lu Yue was thinking about countermeasures, but she was so startled by the black-clothed man who suddenly attacked that she almost dodged her waist, she quickly dodged to the left, and the two of them made a few moves back and forth on the ground.
This man in black is really strange, he actually stepped forward to meet her move just to dodge, but he didn't answer the move, Lu Yue was stunned, she didn't pay attention, her hands were restrained by the man in black, she was about to struggle, but she heard the man in black whisper: "Princess, it's a subordinate~"
The moment Lu Yue's expression was slightly stunned, she was held by the man in black, and she jumped lightly in a few steps, and instantly left Master Zhang's mansion, turned around in a few steps, and turned into an abandoned courtyard.
The man in black quickly let go of Lu Yue, and immediately arched his hand and said, "The situation was urgent just now, I offended Princess Qin, and I ask the princess to forgive me~"
Lu Yue waved her hand, more curious than this Lu Yue, why didn't they show up on the day Li Hu and her were trapped? And he did not come to himself at night for these days.
So Lu Yue had to run in person tonight, and the man in black immediately knelt down to ask Lu Yue for his guilt, it turned out that on that day, Lu Yue and Li Hu set fire to the Lin family ancestral hall, and Lin Zhiwen was shocked and rushed over with people.
The two shadow guards who were staring at Lin Zhiwen day and night immediately felt that the time had come, so they took the opportunity to enter Lin Zhiwen's study to find evidence when the security in the courtyard was loose.
"Did you find that?" Lu Yue's eyes lit up suddenly, this matter of refining poisonous people, I felt that it was impossible for a small Huaibei City prefect to do something, Lu Yue thought that there must be someone behind Lin Zhiwen.
As long as they can find the correspondence between Lin Zhiwen and others, they will have evidence to sue Lin Zhiwen.
"Princess, this is what we found~" The man in black immediately took out two booklets from his arms and held them in Lu Yue's hands.
Lu Yue took it, and when she was about to open it, she found that the book was stained with a little blood, and she exclaimed, "Are you injured?" β
The man in black shook his head and told Lu Yue that not long after they left the Lin Mansion that day, they were chased and killed by the man in black, and one person died.
He knew that he was being followed, so he deliberately fled out of the city, and led those people to run wildly for two days before he threw them off, and only today did he dare to sneak back to the city.
Lu Yue sighed for a while after hearing this, but she didn't expect that they had also experienced a thrilling life-and-death struggle, so she ordered people to hide in the dark first and not act rashly.
The man in black replied again and again.
Lu Yue thought about it in a blink of an eye, hey, it's not right~ "Staring at them in Master Zhang's mansion, have they contacted you?" β
The man in black shook his head and said, "After the subordinates entered the city, they came here to look for them, there is no trace of them, but they found the marks left behind, and now I think that they should have followed the princess down the secret passage that day." β
Lu Yue's face changed slightly, and they followed him down the secret passage? The secret passage leads in all directions, and ordinary people are afraid that they will get lost when they go down, these two people .....
"Then you follow the marks they left behind, maybe go down?" Lu Yue asked.
The man in black shook his head, "The entrance to there has been sealed, and there are a lot of people lying in ambush over there. β
Lu Yue's face changed instantly, and she secretly said in her heart: Fortunately, I was stopped just now, otherwise I would have fallen into the mouth of a tiger~
Those two ..... Lu Yue was silent.
Seeing that Lu Yue was silent, the man in black couldn't help but say boldly: "The princess can't help but worry, their martial arts and light skills are good, and their subordinates speculate that they must be hiding in them, in order to wait for the opportunity to move~"
Lu Yue snorted lightly, they only went to the secret passage that day, and they didn't find their lair, if they could really find the lair of refining poisoners, this would be just around the corner to bring down Lin Zhiwen.
In order not to arouse suspicion, the two hurriedly said a few more words, and Lu Yue told the man in black to be careful, and left in a hurry.

Day 2
The strong smell of medicine over the camp in the north of the city lasted for a long time, and Lu Yue covered her mouth and nose and pushed a cart to send the herbs to the twenty or thirty cauldrons.
From being nauseous when she smelled the medicine just now, to now Lu Yue only frowned slightly when she smelled it, she had to sigh in her heart, this human being's adaptability is really strong.
"Oh, the little doctor is here to deliver medicine again~" The soldier next to him grinned at the corner of his mouth, and hurriedly came over to help Lu Yue with a wheel.
Lu Yue raised her head, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and said, "Hey, thank you~"
The naΓ―ve soldier, who was laughed at by Lu Yue, showed a mouthful of white teeth, instantly shook his eyes, and said secretly in his heart: Tsk~ Why is this little doctor so white? How can everything be white?
He was smiling when he hit his head, "Smirking or something?" β
A hard voice came, and when the soldier turned around and saw that it was Guo Cheng, his face changed in fright, and he hurriedly stood up in a military posture.
Lu Yue saw that it was Guo Cheng, and greeted with a smile: "Lord Guo~"
Guo Cheng hummed lightly, the expression on his face remained unchanged, he looked at Lu Yue and nodded, and then took people to patrol other places.
Everyone didn't notice that not far behind them, one of the people led by Master Zhang, who was walking by in a hurry, stopped suddenly, and his eyes were tightly glued to Lu Yue's waist.
His eyes flickered slightly, and he lifted his heel in a blink of an eye.
Lu Yue squinted her eyes and glanced at Guo Cheng's back, and said in her heart: This person looks tough, but he is actually quite human~
Lu Yue helped the medicine boy pour all the medicinal herbs in the cart into the boiling pot, and hurriedly pushed the cart back to the camp.
Zhu Qing saw Lu Yue from a distance, he frowned and walked over a few steps, "Why are you pushing?" What about the others? β
As he spoke, he reached out and took the handlebar in Lu Yue's hand and helped Lu Yue push it to one place.
"The others, I see that they are all busy, so I will take the initiative to help them~" Lu Yue raised a pair of sparkling eyes, but saw Zhu Qing's calm face, and his brows were furrowed like a little old man.
"What's wrong?" The smile on Lu Yue's face faded suddenly, and her expression became nervous.
Zhu Qing glanced at Lu Yue with a complicated expression, and only sighed for a long time before he said, "That medicine ....."
"What's wrong with the medicine?" Lu Yue thought of the bad thing as soon as she thought about it, and the expression on her face changed instantly.
Zhu Qing saw that Lu Yue was panicked, and he didn't dare to hide it anymore, so he lowered his voice and said: "Today, Master checked the pulse and found that the symptoms of those patients who took medicine have not decreased too much~"
Lu Yue gasped and muttered in disbelief, "How can this be? β
Zhu Qing's frowning brows tightened, and he said, "Who knew it would be like this?" Master's face was a little bad at that time, but that recipe was his hard work, but now there is such a mistake, I don't know how sad the master is in his heart? β
Lu Yue was also uneasy when she heard this, and couldn't help but say, "Could it be that the dose they ate is not enough, just a few more pairs?" After all, they have been suffering from this plague for a long time. β
Zhu Qing listened, but shook his head, with their master's ability, how could they not see how much the dose was, and the master's face was so bad at that time, and he looked like he had been hit.
Zhu Qing was not mistaken, in that case, the only possible thing was probably the problem with the prescription.
Zhu Qing didn't say it explicitly, but Lu Yue understood a little, and the two of them were a little silent for a while.
Lu Yue pondered again and again, as long as she thought of the old man's thin body and increasingly thin face, the whole skull hurt messily.
No, you can't let the old man endure it alone, Lu Yue gritted her teeth and swallowed the shock in her heart, raised her feet and was about to go to the old man's tent, but was dragged by Zhu Qing, Lu Yue looked back puzzled, but saw Zhu Qing's expression was extremely calm, and said: "Don't go, at this time, I think Master must want to be alone for a while~"
Lu Yue didn't struggle, she stood still obediently, and screamed in her heart, just waiting obediently without doing anything? Master can report to Lord Zhao this time, then Lord Zhao also sent someone to collect medicinal materials, and now everyone in this camp knows about it, they are full of hope, and actively drink medicine every day, looking forward to physical recovery and becoming a normal person.
But now this news is like a bolt from the blue, not to mention the old man, Lu Yue can't accept it herself, she can't imagine what consequences those ordinary people will have if they know the truth?
They're going crazy, right? From full of hope to disappointment, how many people can resist this kind of blow?
And this is also related to the old man's reputation, Lu Yue can't imagine that this thing is poked out, what should the master do?
Zhu Qing looked at the white and blue on Lu Yue's face, green and white, sighed helplessly, opened his mouth and comforted: "Don't think about it, although this medicine can't completely cure everyone, but it is better than the one that everyone has taken before, and those who have taken one or two pairs of medicines, the high fever has subsided, which shows that this medicine still works~"
Lu Yue listened to Zhu Qing's words, and was not too happy, but said worriedly: "Will it be two days later and the disease will recur like last time?" β
