Chapter 152: Sister-in-law
On the hillside, the crowd cheered, they were very excited, because under Yun Yuxi's guidance, they really found many valuable herbs. However, compared with the actual needs, these gains were just a drop in the ocean.
As night fell, everything was silent, with only the stars twinkling in the sky. Yun Yuxi did not rest, but went to visit those who were using the medicine again. She observed every detail with full concentration and recorded it carefully. It was gratifying that the conditions of all patients improved, which undoubtedly proved the correctness of the prescription. Unfortunately, the herbs were on the verge of depletion at this moment, and even the quantity collected from the mountains was extremely limited, and they had to go through tedious processing procedures before they could be used. Faced with such a dilemma, Yun Yuxi became increasingly busy, and she kept directing the doctors on how to perform secondary processing.
At this moment, a secret guard came to report: "Master, according to reliable information, someone has bought up all the medicinal herbs in the towns around Lingcheng! If the situation continues to develop like this, the princess will soon face a crisis of medicinal herbs shortage! The subordinates are still tracking down relevant clues, but there is no clue yet... Master, this matter of medicinal herbs is no small matter, it concerns the lives of countless people. I wonder how the princess should deal with it next?"
Hearing this, Yan Wuque's face was solemn, but he remained calm and composed. After thinking for a moment, he decisively ordered: "Immediately send more manpower to continue to investigate who is the mastermind behind the scenes! As for the princess, you should quickly send a batch of commonly used medicinal materials to the Wangsheng Building for emergency use. In addition, this letter must be handed over to the princess in person. This matter is of vital importance, and you must do it yourself without any negligence! The princess has worked tirelessly to save the people of Lingcheng from the water and fire, how can I become a stumbling block on her way forward?" After that, Yan Wuque nodded, and the secret guard took the order and left, and his figure quickly disappeared into the night.
"Brother Chen, this place is too noisy and noisy, it's really not a good place for a conversation! Please follow me to move somewhere else." Feng San suddenly became extremely solemn and serious, and his cynical, playful and angry look seemed to disappear without a trace in an instant. At this moment, he seemed like a different person, and people couldn't help but feel awe.
"Mr. Feng San, I'll trouble you to lead the way." Chen Jingshan stood up quickly and followed him respectfully, and walked out of the restaurant together. They walked forward with a clear goal - the Feng family business.
When they arrived at the destination, a shopkeeper came forward with a look of astonishment on his face: "Young Master, why are you here at this time? Do you have something important to discuss?" Chen Jingshan secretly rejoiced, thinking that now he could finally confirm the true identity of this Young Master Feng San and there should be no problem.
However, Feng San did not say much, but ordered solemnly: "Uncle Zhang, quickly send people to guard the door, no mistakes! Then come upstairs with us, I have something very important to deal with urgently." After that, he went straight to the second floor without looking back, leaving everyone looking at each other, but they did not dare to delay, and all followed his orders.
"Brother Chen, can you tell me what happened in detail?" Feng San asked.
Chen Jingshan took out a letter and a jade pendant from his chest and handed them to Feng San. When Feng San saw the jade pendant, he cried out, "It's sister-in-law. What happened to sister-in-law? Tell me quickly."
"Third Young Master, please be patient. You will understand after reading the letter. The letter was written by the princess. The princess asked me to ask you a question: does the promise you made that day still count?"
Feng San quickly opened the envelope, and read every line of the letter with eager and focused eyes. His brows furrowed tighter and tighter, and his face became more and more serious. Finally, he slowly put down the letter, looked at Brother Chen with a firm but somewhat worried look, and said solemnly: "Brother Chen, there is no time to lose, I will start preparing immediately, and then rush to Lingcheng with you!"
Uncle Zhang on the side could not help but show worry when he saw this, and asked quickly: "Young Master, you plan to use the resources of Feng Family Business to collect these herbs. Have you told the master?" He knew very well that this was a big deal. After all, Feng Family Business was a family business, and any decision needed the master's consent before it could be implemented.
Feng San took a deep breath and told the whole story without reservation. It turned out that Lingcheng was suffering from a serious epidemic. The people were suffering and urgently needed a large amount of precious medicinal materials for treatment. Time was running out and there was no room for delay. After hearing this, Zhang Bo secretly sighed at the young master's kindness and responsibility, but he still had some concerns.
"Young Master, I have always cared about the world and I am an upright and honest person. I will send you a letter right away and I believe you will understand and support your righteous act. But..." At this point, Zhang Bo paused for a moment and his expression became more serious. "Nantong City is a long way from Lingcheng. It is inevitable to encounter various risks on the way. How to ensure a safe arrival is really a top priority." After that, he turned and hurried away, and began to carefully arrange relevant matters to ensure a smooth journey.
At this moment, Feng San suddenly thought of Yun Yuxi and couldn't help asking Chen Jingshan: "Brother Chen, was my sister-in-law okay when you left?" His words were full of concern.
Chen Jingshan pondered in his heart, and suddenly realized the reason: it turned out that there was such a deep connection between this princess and the third son of Feng! He calmed down, and then said slowly: "My princess is safe, but when I left, the princess was leading a group of people to the mountains to look for medicinal herbs. I think at this moment, the situation in Lingcheng is probably even more tense and full of dangers!"
Not long after, Zhang Bo hurried back, followed closely by a burly man who was as strong as an iron tower. As soon as this man appeared, he exuded a mighty and domineering aura, which made people look at him sideways.
Zhang Bo walked up to Feng San and introduced him respectfully, "Master, this is the head of the Dragon and Tiger Escort Agency, Lord Ning Wu. This time, I have specially arranged for them to escort you throughout the journey to ensure that everything goes well. You know, the Dragon and Tiger Escort Agency is one of the top escort agencies in Nantong City!" Then, Zhang Bo added, "Everything else has been prepared. We can set off immediately as soon as you give the order."
Ning Wu stepped forward, clasped his fists and bowed towards Feng San, and said in a loud voice: "I have heard of the name of Young Master Feng San for a long time. It is a great honor to meet you today! I am Ning Wu, the boss of the Dragon and Tiger Escort Agency. This time, I am trusted by Steward Zhang and he specially sent me to lead the troops to escort you. Please be patient, I will go back and mobilize the elite troops. The specific time of departure is entirely up to you!" After that, Ning Wu bowed again to show his respect.
Feng San smiled and responded, "Mr. Ning, you are too polite! This matter is of great importance. So, please bring some brothers with superb martial arts and extraordinary skills to go with us. As for the remuneration, you don't need to worry, just name a price. As long as we can ensure safe arrival at the destination, we will spare no expense!" His words revealed full sincerity and generosity.
