Chapter 209: Unrest in Lingbei
Poison doctor.
Sheng Wantian, dressed in a black robe and with a gloomy face, sat upright on a rosewood chair. After listening to the report from his subordinates, he tightened his grip on the handle.
"……………………"
How can it be!
His ghost army actually disappeared out of thin air. In this small country of Da Shang, it is impossible for there to be someone with better medical skills than him.
Unless she... Could it be that she is not dead, and has traveled here like herself?
The more he thought about it, the more this seemed possible. He tightened his grip on the handle again, and a hint of cruelty flashed in his eyes.
If that was the case, then he wouldn't mind turning her into ashes once more.
In the evening, Shen Yiyi made hallucinogenic powder with all the herbs she had collected yesterday, and watched the guards carrying bags of it into her tent.
He was so happy in his heart. It was easier to get things done with more people. There was so much medicine powder that if only Jiang Zuo and he were responsible for it.
That would have taken a year or half a year, but with their help, it was done in one day. I was so happy.
"Miss, didn't we make too much?" Jiang Zuo pointed to the dozen or so large bags of medicine powder piled on the ground.
If you don’t know, you might think they are moving. The last time they knocked out more than 20,000 people, it didn’t do much.
Just looking at these things in front of me, I'm afraid they can charm a million troops. The Crown Princess is really cruel to have so many of them.
"What do you know! This is called preparing for an emergency." Shen Yiyi rolled her eyes at Jiang Zuo.
The world is so chaotic, no one can predict what will happen in the future, like last time.
If he didn't have enough medicine powder, General Wei would be of no help to him.
Therefore, it is better to prepare more things to be prepared. The most important thing is that she doesn’t have to do these jobs. With so much free labor, it would be a waste if it is not used.
Her thoughts were all written on her face, and Jiang Zuo could see it too. His Crown Princess would never suffer any loss.
"Miss, why did you separate?" He pointed at the big bags that Shen Yiyi moved over.
They are the same medicine. I don't know why the Crown Princess put them in two places.
"They're different. The one here has stink powder added to it, which is specifically for poisoning insects. The one over there doesn't have that." Shen Yiyi pointed.
In the past, she intended to make hallucinogenic powder to poison insects, but after this incident, she felt that the hallucinogenic powder might be used for anything.
So we specially made some colorless and odorless ones, so that if they were really used on humans, they would not be detected.
"That stinky powder stinks too much. Will it be useless to kill poisonous insects without it?" Jiang Zuo pointed at the packages containing the stinky powder with disdain.
I remember that when it was spreading, the smell was so stinky that I can't describe it. If you can avoid it, it's better not to put it in. It's simply too stinking.
"How can that be possible? Poisonous insects like bad smells. If I don't add the stinky powder, I'll just poison you!"
Shen Yiyi gave Jiang Zuo a look of disdain, as if she was willing to go through an extra step.
The more poisonous the insect is, the more it likes strong smells, especially bad odors.
Otherwise she wouldn't have added those stinky powders in it.
“……………………” Jiang Zuo choked.
This chatterbox made the Crown Princess angry. Just as she was about to say something else, Doctor Zhang walked in with a smile.
"Miss Shen, can we go into the mountains to catch poisonous insects tomorrow?"
I made so much medicinal powder today, it should be enough. I think I can go into the mountains to catch poisonous insects.
I feel so happy when I think about preparing the detoxifying powder soon.
"Well, let's go into the mountains to catch poisonous insects tomorrow." Shen Yiyi nodded heavily.
Now that the replacement powder has been prepared, we can go into the mountains to catch poisonous insects tomorrow.
"Okay, I'll give the order right away." Doctor Zhang nodded excitedly and walked out happily.
When Shang Zhanchen came in, he saw Shen Yiyi sitting among a pile of bundles, busying herself with a grin on her face.
Without looking, he knew that these packages were the medicinal powder made today. Shang Zhanchen walked over with a smile.
"It seems that we have gained a lot today."
"Well, these are all, hehe." Shen Yiyi nodded excitedly.
He quickly opened a few packages and showed the man the results of his work today.
Some are powdery, some are rolled into balls, and some have a foul odor.
Let him see how many treasures he has made today. Even though he was about to faint from the stinky powder, Shang Zhanchen still tried his best to restrain himself.
He kept nodding in agreement with Shen Yiyi, saying this was good and that was good. Even Jiang Zuo couldn't bear it anymore.
After saying hello, he ran out covering his nose. If he stayed any longer, he would have been suffocated by the smoke.
When Han Chun saw that Jiang Zuo had run away, he also found an excuse and slipped away, leaving Shang Zhanchen alone to accompany him pitifully.
It was not until Shen Yiyi had tidied up all her luggage that she climbed onto the bed.
The next morning, Shen Yiyi got up early without being called by anyone. She was serious about her work.
Carrying enough medicinal powder, he went into the mountain with the others, looking at the Crown Princess's heroic and high-spirited back.
Han Chun smiled and pointed at the dark circles under his master's eyes.
"Master, can you still hold on?"
When I entered the master's tent this morning, I was almost choked by the smell. The smell of the stinky powder was so choking. I really don't know how the master managed to survive the whole night.
"What do you think?" Shang Zhanchen glared at Han Chun with dissatisfaction.
He didn't sleep much last night, and his brain was a little fuzzy from the smoke. He was only now somewhat sober.
"Go and ask someone to open the tent and let it air out." He looked at Han Chun.
He had to get the bad smell out of there quickly, otherwise he still wouldn't be able to sleep tonight.
If he had known what would happen yesterday, he would not have been so rude, and that woman would not have opened her bags one by one for him to see.
"Yes." Han Chun nodded with a smile, then went to order people to work with a grin.
Shang Zhanchen was just about to go over to take a look when Jiang You walked over with a serious face.
"Master, a letter from the Emperor."
“…………………………”Shang Zhanchen frowned.
My father actually sent the letter here. It seems like it’s something important.
He hurriedly took the letter from Jiang You's hand, ran straight to the meeting room, opened the letter, and his brows furrowed more and more as he read.
"Master, has something happened?" Jiang You's face also became tense.
As soon as I saw the master's expression, I knew that something had happened in the capital, and it seemed to be a serious matter.
"There is unrest on the Lingbei border. Tiansheng has occupied two cities. General Su has already led 150,000 men there."
Shang Zhanchen handed the letter in his hand to Jiang You, his brows furrowed even more tightly.
Now the treasury of the Shang Dynasty is empty, and war has broken out on the border north of the Ling Mountains, which is really adding insult to injury.
"Master, since the emperor asked you to return to the capital as soon as possible, shall we set off immediately?"
Since Tiansheng Kingdom has sent troops, it seems that this war cannot be resolved. The master should return to Beijing in time to help the emperor with advice.
“……………………”Shang Zhanchen didn’t say a word.
After hesitating for a while, he turned and looked at Jiang You.
"Let's go directly to Lingbei."
