A Clash of Gods - Chapter 240

[Chapter 239 Scarce Herbs]

Seeing Qi Ning pondering, the King of Huainan thought that Qi Ning was moved. He was about to speak again when he heard footsteps coming from behind. He looked back and saw that Hou Zhongyi and the others had followed from behind.

The Hou Zhongyi is over sixty years old, and because of his thin body, he looks a bit loose in an official robe.

Since ancient times, heroes are like beautiful women, and they are not allowed to see white heads in the world!

No matter whether Sima Lan, the Hou Zhongyi, was a hero or not, he was old and walked a little slowly. The Lord of Ximen followed Sima Lan and helped him from time to time.

The Minister of War, Lu Xiao, distanced himself a little, talking to the other two officials while walking, while Su Zhen, the Marquis of Wuxiang, was far behind, followed by two eunuchs. He was infected with the virus, although It didn’t happen, but he was so frightened that he lost his soul, his whole body had no strength, he was limp when walking, his face was pale, and he was in a state of despair.

“My lord!” Sima Lan approached and saw the King of Huainan, and he had already taken the initiative to salute, “The old minister is already old, and his physical strength is not as good as before. After entering the palace, he is already lacking in physical strength.”

“The Marquis of Zhongyi should take good care of your body.” The King of Huainan said with a smile: “You are the humerus minister of the court, the pillar of my great Chu, and now you have to assist in the administration of the court. You can’t go in and out of this palace.”

Sima Lan let out an old laughter and said, “The honor of eating the emperor, the loyalty to the emperor, the old minister is deeply favored by the emperor. This old bone can only be reimbursed to the court, to serve the emperor, to give up, and to die!”

The King of Huainan stroked his beard and said, “The old marquis does seem to be a little tired. It just so happens that there are two old ginseng trees in the palace. They are authentic Liaodong old ginseng. I will send someone to send them to the old marquis.”

“Old minister, thank the lord.” Sima Lan cupped his hands and smiled: “There are two catties of good tea from Lingnan in the old minister’s house. If the lord has time, please come to the humble house and have a drink?”

The King of Huainan laughed and said, “Old Marquis still remembers what this king likes, that’s good, if you have time another day, I will go to disturb you now.”

If you didn’t know that these two were mortal enemies of the DPRK and China, and they were incompatible with each other, Qi Ning would have mistakenly thought that these two guys were very close friends and gossip. Homely.

Since Sima Lan came over, the King of Huainan naturally couldn’t talk to Qi Ning any more, but he still smiled deliberately and said to Qi Ning: “Jinyi Hou, when this king is hosting a banquet in the mansion, you will move around to appreciate the glory, and you will inherit the title. This king hasn’t congratulated you yet.” Without waiting for others to speak, he left first with his hands on his back.

The Minister of War, Lu Xiao, and the other two walked past Sima Lan, all bowed to Sima Lan, and left without saying much.

Qi Ning saw that Su Zhen was in a trance, and knew that this Marquis of Wuxiang was afraid that he was already scared.

At this time, the sky was already dark, the weather was cold, and everyone left without delay. Qi Ning went back to Yong’an Hall and found that Tang Nuo still did not come out of the hut. He was a little worried.

The girl didn’t eat or drink, but she didn’t know if she could hold on.

Because Xue Ling’s style was slightly appropriate, although people with poisonous hair rushed into the street from time to time in the capital, they were quickly controlled by the soldiers of the Tiger God Battalion.

At the beginning, the soldiers of the Tiger God Battalion saw the terrifying appearance of the poisonous person, and they were a little confused. Among them, more than ten people were scratched by the infected person because of their negligence, but everyone quickly became familiar with the routine. Knowing that these poisonous infected people are rampant with great strength, but their minds are unclear, and they can be captured with a little bit of cleverness.

At the end of the day, hundreds of people were already being detained in Nanhe Lane. When it was dark, the commotion that lasted for a day finally calmed down temporarily.

It’s just that everyone knows that when the next wave of poisoning comes, I’m afraid the situation will be more serious.

However, taking advantage of this short period of time, Xue Lingfeng sent cavalry in the streets and alleys to notify all households to pay attention to whether there were infected people in their homes.

The capital has been noisy all day, and although the officers and soldiers are exhausted, the people in the capital are also panicked.

Fortunately, most of the people already knew that the capital was suffering from the virus, so they were all cautious. Seeing that their relatives really had signs of the virus, although they would not really hand over their family members to the government, they also took precautionary measures.

The capital was already shrouded in darkness, but the yamen from Tiger God Camp and Kyoto Prefecture did not dare to be negligent.

Looking down at the capital from the air, you can see that the streets and alleys crisscross the capital are lit up with lights. It was the officers and soldiers from Tiger God Camp and Kyoto Prefecture who were patrolling the capital with torches, but the Qinhuai River, which had always been sparkling and peaceful, was now on the contrary. is silent.

Duan Canghai has not closed his eyes for two days and two nights. Although he was from the military, he was already tired at the moment.

Inside the Yongan Hall, including Qi Ning, the expressions were very solemn.

Not only a long time later, I heard a voice from Tang Nuo’s side. Although Qi Ning and the others were in a daze and heard the voice, they quickly got up and walked over.

I only saw that Tang Nuo had already opened a gap in the door. Qi Ning saw that Tang Nuo’s beautiful eyes were now bloodshot, and there was a look of tiredness in them. Doing things uninterruptedly is laborious and brain-intensive, and it must consume a lot of energy and physical strength.

“Pen and ink!” Tang Nuo said neatly: “I will write down the medicinal materials, and you will prepare them immediately.”

Qi Ning was stunned, and then said in surprise, “Miss Tang, you mean…!”

“It’s still very early.” Tang Nuo knew what Qi Ning meant, shook his head and said, “I have roughly figured out what poisons there are, but these poisons are mixed together, and the toxicity has changed. You first prepare the medicinal materials I want, the sooner the better. .”

Duan Canghai was already rushing to get the pen and paper. Tang Nuo took it and entered the room. After a while, he saw Tang Nuo hand over two pieces of paper and said, “Prepare one or two of each of the herbs on this. .” After a pause, he asked, “Did Mr. Song not come?”

Qi Ning knew that Tang Nuo said that Mr. Song was the doctor in Yong’an Tang, so he didn’t rush to answer, and handed the two lists of medicinal materials to Duan Canghai, saying, “Hurry up and prepare, some in our pharmacy will be ready immediately, no If you want to go to the next door, grab it and grab it.”

Duan Canghai knew nothing about medicinal herbs. Fortunately, although Yongantang let most of the staff rest, they still left a shop assistant who was familiar with medicinal materials. Duan Canghai called over and asked him to quickly prepare medicines according to the medicinal materials on the list. .

The shop assistant is in his thirties and has been in this shop for many years. Although he does not understand medical skills, he still has a good understanding of medicinal materials. Material, most of our stores have inventory, and one or two of each can be prepared immediately, but there are seven or eight stores that we do not have in stock in our store.”

Duan Canghai was startled and frowned, “Why are we still short of medicinal materials in such a big shop?”

“Second Master Duan, it’s not that there is a shortage of medicinal materials.” The shop assistant explained: “Most pharmacies have not prepared these seven or eight kinds of medicinal materials, or they are too expensive and no one will buy them, and the other is very useful. Less, I can’t sell a pound a year, so I don’t stock up.”

Qi Ning had already asked Tang Nuo, “Is Miss Tang looking for Mr. Song?”

Tang Nuo said, “I want to dispense medicine. I’m wasting time alone. I need someone who understands pharmacology to help me. Doctor Song understands pharmacology, and his help will save a lot of time.”

Qi Ning turned his head and asked Duan Canghai, “Duan Canghai, how far is Doctor Song’s residence from here? Hurry up and bring him here.”

Duan Canghai hurriedly said, “Okay.” He sent someone, gave the address, and asked him to pick up Doctor Song quickly.

“In addition, prepare a fire for decoction.” Tang Nuo said, “At least three medicine stoves should be used to decoct the medicine together.” After thinking about it, he said, “The sooner the better.” Without saying much, he turned around and entered the room again.

Qi Ning naturally did not delay. Apart from Duan Canghai and Zhao Wushang, there were four other guards from the Hou residence also in Yong’an Hall. Qi Ning instructed Zhao Wushang to bring the two of them to immediately create four medicine stoves for decoction. Yong’an Hall only had two. A medicine stove, you need to borrow two more from other medicine shops next door.

For a time, everyone in Yongantang was busy.

Duan Canghai was worried about the lack of medicinal materials, and asked the guy, “Where can I find these medicinal materials?”

The shop clerk thought about it, then took the list to the counter, and took a brush to mark a few herbs, “Er Duan, although these are expensive, we don’t have stock in our store, but larger pharmacies should have them. In stock, UU reading www.sonicmtl.com There are two large drugstores on the east side of Changlefang, you can take a look.” Then he frowned and ordered the remaining two herbs, “These two are even in the big The pharmacy may not exist, and the price is not expensive, but it is rarely used, and there are not many stocks in the capital.”

“Then what should we do?” Qi Ning walked over and frowned, “We all need the medicinal materials that Miss Tang needs.”

“Master Hou, if there are really two kinds of medicinal materials in Beijing, I’m afraid there is only one place.” The shop clerk thought for a while before saying, “Tian Family Medicine Store sells crude drugs, and maybe Tian Family Medicine Store will have stock of these two medicinal materials. ”

“Tian Family Medicine Shop?” Qi Ning was stunned, and Duan Canghai looked at each other, and immediately thought of the fight that day.

The Tian family medicine store put down the arena, Qi Ning made a mistake in the arena and was invited to the Tian Mansion, but in the end they broke up unhappily. That Mrs. Tian is afraid that she still has a grudge now, and the world is unpredictable, but she never imagined that it would be so unexpected now. Also ask Mrs. Yu Tian.

“Why do you have to use the Tian Family Medicine Store?” Qi Ning frowned, “The capital is so big that other medicine stores can’t find these two herbs?”

“Master Hou, one of these two herbs is called Guimucao, and the other is a spirit of strength. It only grows near the Lanjiang River in Xichuan.” The shop assistant explained patiently: “There are more than ten large drug stores in Beijing, all from Bashu. There are three of them, but the Tianjia Pharmacy was established early, and the other two are not comparable. In addition, the ancestral home of the Tian family is said to be on the Lanjiang River in Xichuan, so if there are two kinds of medicinal materials, there should only be Tianjia Pharmacy. stock available.”

Qi Ning felt a headache, looked at Duan Canghai, and said, “Second Uncle Duan, I thought Mrs. Tian had a good impression on you that day, or… why don’t you just go for a trip? By the way, take these missing medicinal materials. Are you ready to come back?”

Duan Canghai looked solemn and said, “Don’t worry, Lord Hou, I will handle this matter, and it will be a success soon!”
