How could they tamper with the herbs?
For example, old and moldy herbs could be dried in the sun, washed, and sent over for use. Another example was that some herbs had already been refined and their essence could be dried in the sun before being sent over. This kind of thing was not uncommon in the pharmaceutical world.
Some moldy herbs could still be used after being dried in the sun, but some herbs would be poisonous once they became moldy. As for those second-hand herbs, their efficacy was not as good as the original. If they were used according to the normal dosage, it would directly affect their efficacy.
Gu Beiyue was worried that there was no suitable person to take care of this. Mu Ling 'er was a straightforward girl who dared to offend anyone. She was simply the best candidate.
Gu Beiyue saw that Mu Ling 'er was covered in dust and looked tired. He said, "Miss Ling' er, please rest well. I will go ahead first. You can leave tomorrow morning."
"I'm not tired! Doctor Gu, how many people have died in the quarantine area if we delay for a day? " Mu Ling 'er had a serious look on her face.
Currently, the disaster areas in Northern Li were basically under control. Every city was divided into two. The healthy victims and the infected victims were separated. Several medical teams were sent to different quarantine areas to save the critically ill. Ning Cheng's soldiers were responsible for delivering herbs to the healthy victims to prevent infection. Everything was carried out in an orderly manner. However, there were still many critically ill patients who died every day. Their bodies were all burned nearby.
The reason why Gu Beiyue wanted to personally stay in the quarantine area was to protect these critically ill patients. Currently, there were seven cities that surrendered to Ning Cheng, occupying more than half of the northern part of Northern Li. In these seven cities, there were about three hundred critically ill patients. Gu Beiyue could not handle it alone. He could only do his best and save as many as possible.
Gu Beiyue admired Mu Ling 'er's professionalism the most. He nodded and said, "I'll give you two hours to eat and rest."
It was at this time that Jin Zi came in and bumped into Mu Ling'er.
Jin Zi stared blankly, Mu Ling 'er also stared blankly. The two of them, one at the door, the other at the door, the distance between them was only about ten steps. They looked at each other.
Gu Beiyue left without a sound, and Ning Cheng followed suit.
Unexpectedly, Jin Zi turned around and looked at him. Cold, he said, "Ning Cheng, I have something to talk to you about!"
"Oh …" Ning Cheng said thoughtfully. "Go ahead."
"Can I have a word with you?" Jin Zi's tone was obviously unfriendly. Although he was talking to Ning Cheng, his eyes never left Mu Ling 'er.
Mu Ling'er really didn't like Jin Zi's gaze. Every time he looked at her, his gaze was cold and sharp, as if he could see through her heart.
Mu Ling'er was a muddle-headed person who couldn't even see herself clearly. She hated Jin Zi's gaze, and was also afraid of it.
"Then … let's go?" Ning Cheng said again.
Jin Zi then retracted his gaze and turned around to leave.
After everyone had left, the curtains were lowered. Mu Ling'er then regained her senses. Actually, the reason she came back to Northern Li this time was firstly for disaster relief, and secondly to settle the score with Jin Zi. In another two days, their one year agreement would be up.
Mu Ling'er shook her head, not wanting to think too much.
On the way here, she had already made up her mind. When Jin Zi came to ask her, she would lay her cards on the table with Jin Zi!
Mu Ling'er exhaled a mouthful of turbid air, walked to the warm couch at the side and sat down heavily on it.
Suddenly!
"Squeak …"
This sharp squeak startled Mu Ling'er so much that she immediately jumped up. She saw Lil 'Thing sprawled out on all fours, lying flat on the rabbit fur cushion.
Mu Ling'er didn't even look carefully earlier, how would she know that Lil 'Thing would be sleeping here.
She hurriedly carried Lil 'Thing up and pulled at its claws, then pulled at its hind legs, "Lil' Thing, I didn't do it on purpose. I didn't know you were here. "
Lil 'Thing lazily stretched its four claws and twisted its neck before looking at Mu Ling'er.
"I really didn't do it on purpose." Mu Ling'er apologised again.
Lil 'Thing immediately stood up and turned around to show Mu Ling'er that it was fine.
Mu Ling'er couldn't help but laugh, "You're still the best!"
Mu Ling'er sat down to rest and Lil 'Thing jumped onto her. It hadn't seen Miss Ling'er for a long time and it was very happy.
Although Mu Ling'er was tired, she couldn't fall asleep.
She wanted to go out for a walk and talk about the disaster areas, but when she thought of Jin Zi and Ning Cheng talking outside, she didn't want to disturb them.
She held Lil 'Thing in her hands and began to chat with it.
"Lil 'Thing, did you know that Doctor Gu's getting married?"
"That's not right. You follow Doctor Gu around every day, so you must know!"
"Lil 'Thing, have you seen that Eldest Miss Qin? I haven't, but I've heard that she can only sit in a wheelchair for the rest of her life. "
"Lil 'Thing, you know Doctor Gu best. What do you think Doctor Gu is thinking? "
… …
Mu Ling'er said a bunch of things, but Lil 'Thing only looked confused. It had no idea what she was talking about. As for that Eldest Miss Qin, Lil 'Thing had no idea either.
Originally, its mission was complete after the gentleman brought Gu back to Medical City. It was supposed to return to Mama Yunxi's side and visit its little master. But it couldn't bear to part with the gentleman. Mama Yunxi didn't send anyone to pick it up, so it happily followed the gentleman to Northern Li.
Mu Ling'er was staring blankly at Lil 'Thing while Jin Zi and Ning Cheng were already in another tent.
"Why didn't you tell me she was coming?" Jin Zi's face was filled with rage.
Ning Cheng might be blind in one eye, but his other eye was still sharp enough to see the source of Jin Zi's anger.
"What, you can't bear to see her go to the quarantine zone?" he asked.
"I'm asking you, why didn't you tell me she was coming?" Jin Zi asked word by word.
"Why should I tell you she was coming?" Ning Cheng smiled coldly.
"You!" Jin Zi fumed.
"Why are you so worked up? If you can't bear to see her go, then just kidnap her. My eyes aren't good, so I'll pretend I didn't see anything, "Ning Cheng teased.
Han Yunxi had long written him a letter telling him to keep an eye on Jin Zi and not let him bully Mu Ling'er. Ning Cheng didn't take the matter to heart. Ning Cheng knew better than anyone what kind of person Jin Zi was.
No matter how much Jin Zi liked to eat forced melons, he wouldn't really eat them.
Jin Zi didn't speak, but stretched out his hand. Unexpectedly, Ning Cheng simply took out Jin Zi's indenture agreement from his sleeve and placed it in his hand.
Jin Zi was alarmed and unconsciously clutched the indenture agreement, afraid that Ning Cheng would take it away again.
"There won't be any more battles in Northern Li. Yesterday, we received news from the snowy mountains that the commoners in Snow Country have rebelled."
Ning Cheng wasn't joking. With a serious face, he said, "We agreed that if you help me take over Northern Li, this indenture agreement will be yours."
Jin Zi didn't feel grateful. This indenture agreement was a matter of course for him.
He carefully looked at the indenture agreement. It was indeed genuine. He immediately tore the indenture agreement and threw it into the furnace.
Looking at the raging fire in the furnace, for a long time, he muttered to himself, "I'm free!"
"Hehe, you can kidnap her now! Before I change my mind. "Ning Cheng laughed and walked out.
Ning Cheng didn't do this to test Jin Zi. Because Jin Zi didn't need to be tested. Without a doubt, he was doing this to convince Han Yunxi not to worry.
Compared to Gu, Ning Cheng was biased toward Jin Zi. Moreover, he also had some selfish motives. He couldn't keep Jin Zi to take over the Black Clan. Perhaps, Mu Ling'er could do it.
Mu Ling'er only had about two hours. However, Jin Zi didn't go to find her. Ning Cheng found that he had handed over all the matters in his hands to the deputy general. Before Mu Ling'er left, he disappeared.
Mu Ling'er finished her meal and finally walked out of the tent. Seeing that Jin Zi wasn't outside, she secretly sighed in relief. She directly went to find Gu Beiyue.
In this way, after Mu Ling'er arrived at the camp, she didn't stay for the night. She went straight to the nearest isolated area with Gu Beiyue.
At night, Ning Cheng sat alone on the grass outside the camp to drink. The attendants felt strange when they didn't see Jin Zi. They knew that Master Ning would usually find Jin Zi to accompany him when he drank.
After all, it was lonely to drink alone.
However, they didn't make any guesses. They just thought that Jin Zi had something to do outside.
Who knew that after three days, Jin Zi still didn't appear.
Ning Cheng's newly promoted deputy general Chen couldn't sit still anymore. He ran to Ning Cheng's tent to ask about this matter.
"Master Ning, Jin Zi wouldn't have run away, right?"
Ning Cheng asked, "So what if he ran away?"
"If Jin Zi runs away, who can control the Black Clan?" Deputy general Chen was anxious! The Black Clan was very valiant and reckless. They only feared Jin Zi.
"The indenture agreement is with me. Are you still afraid that he will run away?" Ning Cheng asked again.
"Master, what can a thin indenture contract do to him? He's not someone who's afraid of lawsuits! "Deputy general Chen said seriously.
The indenture agreement was useful for ordinary people. However, for people like Jin Zi, it was really useless. Even if he didn't want the indenture agreement and directly ran away, Ning Cheng might not be able to find him.
Ning Cheng looked up and asked seriously, "Since it's useless, why didn't he run away after so many years?"
When these words came out, Deputy general Chen was speechless.
That indenture agreement was Jin Zi's character, Jin Zi's integrity, and the backbone that Jin Zi had kept in his heart for so many years!
"This subordinate has misspoken." Deputy general Chen saluted and consciously retreated.
At this moment, Mu Ling 'er had just finished checking a few batches of medicinal herbs and returned to her tent. She and Gu Beiyue were very busy when they arrived at the isolated area. Although it was already late at night, she only had about an incense's time to rest. Gu Beiyue would later send someone to send the prescription for her to check.
During this rest time, she should have taken a short nap. However, her mind was full of Jin Zi.
Yesterday was the deadline for the appointment. Jin Zi actually didn't come to look for her? This wasn't like him at all!
Could it be that he had already given up?
Not long after, Gu Beiyue's medical assistant sent over a pile of prescriptions. It was much more than what Mu Ling 'er had expected.
"Miss Ling 'er, these are all prescriptions to prevent the plague. Doctor Gu said that Tianqi, Buddha's hand, and Pangolin are currently in short supply. It is estimated that there will not be enough for the next month …"
Before the medical assistant finished speaking, Mu Ling 'er understood what Gu Beiyue wanted. "Alright, I will try my best to find alternative medicine. I will also consider the dosage. Please pass on my message to Doctor Gu and ask him not to worry. "
That night, Mu Ling 'er didn't sleep. She spent the whole night pondering over one-third of the prescriptions. It should be known that the prescriptions that Gu Beiyue sent over were not simple.
Mu Ling 'er worked with Gu Beiyue in this way. Unknowingly, a month had passed.
Jin Zi didn't come to look for her, nor did he appear in the military camp again.
Where did Jin Zi go?
