77 Give As Much As You Want

Qingfeng and the others rushed on their journey for two days and finally caught up.

Seeing that Qingfeng and the others had returned, everyone welcomed them happily.

Bai Wutong took out gauze from her space and prepared to change the bandage on Qingfeng’s injured arm.

When she went over, she realized that the bandage on her arm had been changed, and the technique was very professional.

She couldn’t help but look at the other three.

What she saw made her freeze.

Even though she was wearing a conservative outfit, it could not hide Li Niang’s seductive aura.

The man beside Li Niang was even more eye-catching. He was muscular, with muscles like a small hill, and had a cold expression. He looked extremely not to be trifled with.

Neither of them looked like they could treat Qingfeng, so Bai Wutong’s gaze stopped on Gu Zhongxun’s face.

Gu Zhongxun was extremely handsome. Compared to Chu Tianbao’s cold and deep facial features, he was slightly simpler. He did not seem aggressive and was as gentle as water, but it was very comforting.

This person looked like a doctor. He even smelled like medicine.

Li Niang could tell that Qingfeng was reporting to Bai Wutong, so she immediately bowed obediently. “Greetings, Madam.” She looked up and gave Bai Wutong a sweet smile.

Although she had tried her best to be a well-bred young lady, she still could not stop the hidden seductiveness from her natural brow bone. In that instant, Bai Wutong felt her bones go soft.

Seeing Li Niang bow to Bai Wutong, Rocky quickly said, “Rocky of the Dark Guards Team greets Madam.”

Gu Zhongxun said politely, “Greetings, Madam. I am Gu Zhongxun.” He then looked at the people behind Bai Wutong and searched among them, thinking about who might be the expert who had developed the prescription.

Bai Wutong nodded at them. Sensing that the Cui family was staring at Qingfeng, she asked on their behalf, “How’s the delivery of the prescription?”

Suddenly, everyone looked at Qingfeng.

Qingfeng said without changing her expression, “The offering of the prescription went very smoothly. It’s just that the government didn’t have enough medicine for the commoners to take, causing the commoners to riot and occupy the magistrate’s residence. Now, Jiangyuan City is in chaos.”

When everyone heard Qingfeng’s answer, they were stunned by her answer.

No one had expected that while the offering of prescription was with good intentions to save some citizens, the outcome was this.

The officials of Jiangyuan City had already been overthrown by the commoners, so who would care about them?

Any city in the Yan Kingdom could not even take care of themselves. Duke Ping would probably only let them fend for themselves.

Thinking of this, the Cui family members who proposed to offer the prescription fell silent.

After a long while, Yang Quanzi sighed and said, “It’s difficult to save people. Don’t be sad, everyone. We’ve all tried our best.”

Bai Wutong also comforted them. “That’s right. It’s difficult to save people’s hearts. Everyone has already tried their best. Cherish the present and buck up. It’s more important to be on our way.” Even without the prescription as the fuse, the outcome of these commoners was probably not different.

Jiangyuan City had already collapsed on its own. Presumably, Fengming City would not be able to hold on for long too. It was better to enter Ling Kingdom and settle down as soon as possible so that Bai Wutong could feel at ease.

Cui Shize still felt a little upset, but what could he do? He was not the prime minister of the Yan Kingdom now, nor did he have the herbs to save the people. In Bai Wutong’s words, he could only cherish the present.

After everyone dispersed, Qingfeng told Bai Wutong that the eldest son of Duke Chu had sent someone to follow them.

Bai Wutong frowned. “Why are they following you?”

It was difficult for Bai Wutong not to suspect that they were the ones who led the people in the city to riot.

Otherwise, how could so many commoners suddenly learn that the prescription could cure the plague?

Qingfeng said, “They wanted us to serve Duke Chu’s eldest son.”

Bai Wutong frowned. “All settled?”

Qingfeng nodded. “No one left alive.”

Bai Wutong heaved a sigh of relief. In the future, she had to be even more careful not to be targeted by these “nobles”.

The team prepared to set off. Lin Yue followed behind Bai Wutong, his face flushed red. He hesitated a long while and still could not say a word.

Bai Wutong was about to get into the carriage when she finally asked impatiently, “What exactly can’t you say?”

As if waiting for Bai Wutong to ask him, Lin Yue immediately leaned over and said softly, “Qingfeng has only four months to live.”

Bai Wutong was stunned. She had known for a long time, but how did Lin Yue know? She raised her eyebrows and gestured for him to finish quickly.

Lin Yue glanced at Gu Zhongxun, who was checking the injuries of the others in the team, and said, “He’s the disciple of the divine doctor, Wen Renhua. If he has herbs, he might be able to concoct an antidote.”

Bai Wutong was stunned, and joy quickly gathered in her eyes. Could the divine doctor cure Chu Tianbao’s mind?

Just as she was about to ask what herbs were needed to concoct the antidote, she suddenly realized that something was wrong. Didn’t Lin Yue hate Qingfeng? Why was he so concerned about her now?

She narrowed her assessing eyes at Lin Yue. “So what do you think we should do now?”

Lin Yue glanced at the Cui family at the back of the team and stammered, “I think we can borrow some herbs for Gu Zhongxun to study in advance. When we reach Black Wind Ridge and find my master, we can return the herbs to them.”

“You want me to borrow it?” Bai Wutong raised her eyebrows.

Lin Yue hurriedly said, “Qingfeng also saved our young master a few times later. Our master is a person who distinguishes gratitude and grudges. He will definitely give them the herbs. Madam, don’t worry.”

Lin Yue finally finished speaking when he saw Bai Wutong looking at him, as if she had understood something.

He was unaware of it and said anxiously, “We can probably borrow from the Cui family, right?”

Bai Wutong looked at Qingfeng, who had not said a word, and nodded. “Probably. Does Gu Zhongxun know what herbs are needed?”

As soon as she finished speaking, Lin Yue took out the list of herbs he had prepared and said, “Gu Zhongxun said that he wants these first.” What he meant was that he might need other herbs.

Bai Wutong looked at the dense writing on it and entered the carriage. Soon, she came out with a few bottles of Six Flavor Yellow Earth Pills.

Since she was asking others for help, she naturally had to show etiquette.

Bai Wutong went straight to Cui Shiji and explained her intentions. “I want to borrow some herbs from Patriarch Cui. Is it convenient?”

Bai Wutong was the Cui family’s benefactor. Be it the plague prescription or the printing technique, they were both extremely admirable.

...

Cui Shiji agreed and said readily, “No problem! Our Cui family will give as much as Madam Bai wants!”

However, when he took the list, he was dumbfounded. There were too many precious herbs needed.

The Cui family would even no longer have any left if they had given to Bai Wutong.

Although Cui Shiji felt the pinch, he still smiled and said, “Madam Bai, do you need it now? I’ll send someone to organize the herbs and send them to you.”
