Chapter 101: Medicinal herbs are lost
With the participation of the people of the rivers and lakes, the whole marching procession became lively. Everyone talked and laughed, and occasionally there was the sound of fighting, and even the lifeless homeless people had a little more light in their eyes.
Wen Tiantian sat in the carriage, holding her cheek with one hand, and looked at Qiu Yan with blinking eyes to check the information.
"Xianggong."
"Hmm."
"Xianggong?"
The man glanced up at her from the letter, "What's wrong?" ”
"It's nothing, I just want to call you." The little girl dragged her head with both hands, and her smiling eyes were bent into crescents.
Fang Qiuyan couldn't cry or laugh, "If you are really bored and panicked, you can find something to do by yourself, or go outside for a walk, get dressed and don't get cold." ”
Wen Tiantian shook her body and continued to giggle. If it was someone else, she would have dozed off a long time ago, but this person was Qiu Yan, the man she had made friends with for the first time in her two lives. Just looking at his serious appearance with his head bowed, she was thinking that if she really had a next life, she didn't know if she could meet such a gentle man, who could stay with such a person for decades, and she would not be in vain in her previous life as a single dog for more than 20 years.
"You're not reading today?"
"Don't look at it, I'm going to meet Ye Shiyuan in the afternoon, he said in the letter that let's take precautions, and the investigation of sick people and epidemic prevention must also be stepped up." Putting the paper back in the envelope and placing it on the stack of letters that he had read, Fang Qiuyan moved his stiff shoulders a few times and continued, "In addition, Jiang Simo's people have detected that the black fog is the main channel for the spread of the epidemic, and there is a Buddha statue with a broken arm in the city that is constantly emitting mist. ”
"Jiang Simo's people are taking turns to guard, and if something goes wrong, they will take action."
In the past few days, he often told her the contents of the letters he had received, and then the two of them discussed them together. From the changes in the situation in the court after they left, to the recurrence of Ye Shiyuan's old injuries and constant complaints, the entire dynasty slowly unfolded in her mind.
Wen Tiantian also likes to see his serious appearance when he talks about things, and the casual Fang Qiuyan only has a little more aura of the prince in the world at this time.
"We have a lot of herbs and disinfectants with us, and we can use them from now on. However, these things are consumables, and they need a lot of supplies, do you need to let Master Su get a few more batches? ”
"Far water can't quench the thirst of the near, the capital is now noisy, Su Zihe is inconvenient to make a big move, if he is allowed to collect medicines on a large scale, I am afraid it will attract attention." Fang Qiuyan's fingers tapped lightly on the table, "Atractylodes, wormwood, realgar, lime, bellflower and aconite, these things have seven carts, and they are estimated to last for two months, but if they enter the city, the consumption will increase." ”
Wen Tiantian touched her chin and thought carefully: "Actually, it's not very difficult to collect herbs, the next time I meet my Master Jiang, I'll ask him, maybe you can solve it with spells." ”
"Spells can also conjure medicinal herbs?" Fang Qiuyan raised his eyebrows.
"I don't have that ability yet, but Jiang Simo may not be able to do it. If we want to open the city gates, we must first ask his opinion. ”
In fact, Fang Qiuyan had already had this intention, Ye Shiyuan only rescued people and closed the city gate, and he didn't know much about the situation in the city. In contrast, Jiang Simo's men were stationed in turn among them, and the situation he grasped would be more detailed.
The two were chatting about the supply of supplies, and Wen Tiantian's ears suddenly moved, someone came.
"Lord Qiqi, something is wrong!"
It was one of Fang Qiuyan's entourage sergeants who came running, and after receiving the news, he suddenly felt that the situation was serious, and his tone couldn't help but be a little flustered at this time.
"What's the matter?" Fang Qiuyan opened the car door, his face calm.
"Lord Wang, when the grain and grass were just counted, someone found that there were four escort vehicles missing. The guards counted five times and determined that there were four less. But they didn't know when the four cars were lost, and they didn't hear any movement at all. ”
Wen Tiantian frowned, and the two of them looked at each other with doubts.
"What are the four lost cars?"
"Yes, it's herbs and lime."
The sergeant didn't dare to say any more, he didn't know that the supplies transported this time were mainly tents, clothing, food and heating supplies, and there were already few medicinal materials, and now he had lost four carts, which made it even worse.
The two of them immediately noticed that something was wrong, and they had just talked about the need to replenish medicinal materials for the epidemic, when the news of the loss of the medicinal material cart came, which was really a coincidence.
Fang Qiuyan was a little annoyed, "What about the escort? The car is lost, what are they escorting? ”
"This ...... Lord Qiqi, they all said that they had been in a trance on the road, and when they counted it, they found that the car they were taking care of was not the same as before. Seeing that the number of escorts in each car had increased, I didn't ask much. ”
"Go find it for me, if you can't find it, you will be dealt with by military law!"
The accompanying sergeant ran back in a cold sweat to give the order, and Wen Tiantian suddenly spoke, "Don't worry, I'm afraid this matter is not that simple." ”
"It's impossible for no one to find out if the four cars are lost, but if someone is confused, it's okay to create the illusion of disappearing out of thin air."
Fang Qiuyan also thought of it, "So you mean, someone has cast a blinding method?" ”
"Not sure yet." Wen Tiantian shook her head, picked up her robe and draped it on her body, "Let's go, let's go out and have a look, if someone really uses a spell, it will definitely leave traces, just go to the scene and take a look." ”
