Chapter 157 Giving advice
In the afterglow of the setting sun, the exceptionally strong light shot out from the treetops, dyeing the white clouds blood red.
Shen Jingxuan looked at Xie Lingxiao and said anxiously, "Go back to the barracks quickly."
Several hours have passed and I don’t know what the situation in the military camp is.
If what she guessed was true, the situation in the military camp would be even more serious than in the early morning.
Shen Jingxuan and Xie Lingxiao hurried out of the room and met Chen Yi who was coming towards them.
Knowing that the herbs were ready, the two of them left the farm and headed towards the city gate.
Shen Jingxuan was worried about being checked at the city gate, so she put all the medicinal herbs on the carriage into the space.
As they expected, the city gates had already been strictly checked, and when they found the carriage was empty, they let it pass easily.
Shen Jingxuan asked worriedly: "Ah Xiao, how do we deal with the medicinal materials?"
They must take out the medicinal materials before entering the military camp, otherwise it will be extremely difficult to take them out once they enter the camp.
There are hundreds of thousands of soldiers there, and the sudden appearance of a large amount of medicinal materials will definitely arouse suspicion.
Xie Lingxiao said: "Let's go to the Queen Mother's manor and take out the herbs. Let Ling Qiong notify Ling Feng to transport the herbs to the military camp."
This is the best solution we can think of now. It not only prevents Shen Jingxuan's space from being exposed, but also allows the soldiers to have medicinal materials available.
"Okay." Shen Jingxuan responded.
Xie Lingxiao called Ling Qiong who was hiding in the dark and told her to inform Ling Feng, and he took Shen Jingxuan to the manor.
Speaking of Ling Qiong, Shen Jingxuan said, "Ah Xiao, tell Ling Qiong and Ling Huan to stop hiding in the dark and just stay by my side."
"These two girls have been hiding in the dark all day long. It's really unfair to them."
Xie Lingxiao hesitated for a moment: "You have the final say, they are already yours, you can do whatever you want with them."
Hiding in the dark has its advantages. At least you can catch people off guard.
If it comes to the light, people will be more cautious and will be hesitant in doing things.
Although Xie Lingxiao disagreed in his heart, he was unwilling to refuse when Shen Jingxuan mentioned it.
Shen Jingxuan heard what Xie Lingxiao said, and the corners of her lips curled up slightly: "Ling Huan, why are you waiting for so long?"
"If you don't come out soon, our Tao'er will be exhausted to pieces."
Chun Tao, who was outside the carriage, heard Shen Jingxuan's teasing and said angrily, "Miss, I'm not falling apart."
"Pfft..." Shen Jingxuan laughed out loud.
"So you don't want Ling Huan and Ling Qiong to be seen in public?" Shen Jingxuan continued.
Ling Huan, who had just appeared, stared at Chun Tao.
Before her excitement subsided, she heard that Chuntao didn't want her and Ling Qiong to show up. How could she accept it?
"You don't want to?" Ling Huan looked directly at Chun Tao, as if he would strangle her neck in an instant as long as she opened her mouth and said the word "don't want to".
Chun Tao saw Ling Huan like this for the first time, and said in panic: "No, don't listen to the young lady."
"If I don't listen to the young lady, will I listen to you?" Ling Huan retorted.
Chuntao choked, and she suddenly felt that Ling Huan's brain didn't seem to be working well.
She turned her head away and ignored Ling Huan, looking at the road ahead alone.
Why can't you hear the obvious words from the lady? And you still listen to me. If I had the money to support a maid, could I still be a maid myself?
He is brainless, just like that lecher, both of them are brainless. She doesn't want to argue with a fool.
The two were on edge outside, but Shen Jingxuan was in a good mood in the carriage.
Look at their Tao'er, she was so angry that she didn't even pay attention to Ling Huan.
The night wind gradually became cooler, and after traveling for a long time, the carriage finally stopped.
Xie Lingxiao left Chuntao and Ling Huan in the carriage and brought Shen Jingxuan to the farm alone.
After Shen Jingxuan took out the medicinal herbs in the space and filled the entire warehouse, the two of them got on the carriage and rushed to the military camp.
At this time, the military camp was already in chaos, with groups of soldiers lying in a mess.
When the deputy general saw Xie Lingxiao returning to the camp, he felt like he had seen a savior.
Regardless of his discomfort, he hurried out to greet them: "Your Majesty, the situation is much more serious now than this morning. More than half of the people are already sick."
Xie Lingxiao brought Shen Jingxuan to the tent: "Did you find anyone suspicious?"
If there is a suspicious person, catch him and interrogate him, and you will definitely find out the reason.
"No." The deputy general responded.
Shen Jingxuan said: "Ah Xiao, there is only one possibility for so many people to fall ill overnight."
Xie Lingxiao, who was thinking, was reminded by Shen Jingxuan and suddenly understood the meaning of her words.
Xie Lingxiao ordered: "Go find a military doctor and take him to check each water source to see if there is any problem."
It is indeed as Shen Jingxuan said, only by finding out whether there is a problem with the water source can the problem be solved from the root.
Although it cannot make the sick people recover, at least no one will get sick again.
Xie Lingxiao said gratefully: "Xuan'er, I'm lucky to have you here."
Shen Jingxuan glared at him: "Why are you thanking me? You were just so anxious about the medicinal materials that you lost your mind, otherwise you would have thought of it a long time ago."
With Xie Lingxiao's intelligence, how could this matter stump him?
It's just that things kept piling up and he was too worried about the safety of his soldiers, which made him lose his composure.
Not long after, the deputy general hurried back: "Your Majesty, there is indeed a problem with the water source. The military doctor is still checking it."
"I have ordered people to guard the water source, but this is not a long-term solution. The soldiers will always need water."
With so many soldiers, even if they can go without water for a short period of time, they still have to eat and take medicine. How can they do without water?
Seeing Xie Lingxiao bowing his head and keeping silent, Shen Jingxuan stood up and said, "Take me to see it."
At least she could check what was thrown and think of the next countermeasures.
Xie Lingxiao was puzzled: "Xuan'er?"
"Axiao, think about my master." Shen Jingxuan winked at him.
Oh, he forgot that Shen Jingxuan’s identity was not simple. She also had a master who made poisons.
Xie Lingxiao took Shen Jingxuan to find a nearby well, and someone immediately handed them some freshly drawn water.
After taking the water, before Shen Jingxuan could check, she saw a group of people hurried over.
"Your Highness, we have checked all of them. Only one well far away is normal. That well is too far away, and the soldiers are unwilling to go there, so it has been left idle."
After just a few brief words, Xie Lingxiao knew that only someone who was extremely familiar with military affairs would do such a thing.
If you are not a soldier, you will definitely not know the soldiers' preferences, and you won't even know which water to use.
"Check, interrogate all the soldiers in the army one by one." Xie Lingxiao said angrily.
There are hundreds of thousands of soldiers in the army, and it is like looking for a needle in a haystack to find the person who poisoned the people.
But precisely because of this, that person would boldly do this without having to worry about being discovered.
Shen Jingxuan silently checked the water in the bowl. As she looked at it, she could not help but stand there in a daze, unable to come back to her senses for a long time.
Xie Lingxiao noticed her strangeness and asked nervously: "Xuan'er, what's wrong with you?"
He didn't understand why checking whether there was any problem with the water made Shen Jingxuan fall into deep thought.
"Axiao, I just feel that this poison is familiar, as if I have seen it somewhere." Shen Jingxuan continued to check.
Shen Jingxuan frowned, and soon her almond-shaped eyes widened slightly, and then flashed with light.
