"Yes." "It's going up a lot. Most importantly, some of the medicinal ingredients that we didn't need in the past have also gone up a lot. The most irritating thing is that there are some people who have accumulated a lot of badly needed medicinal ingredients and are waiting for the price to rise." When he thought about how some medicinal herb merchants would hoard medicinal ingredients and not take them out, he couldn't help but get angry.
Medicinal plants were a lifesaving item, but in the hands of those merchants, they became a means and a bargaining chip.
"So it's like that." Qingcheng also began to frown. After a moment of hesitation, she continued:
"I feel very uneasy about my recent business." Although Qingcheng's words were plain, there was an unspeakable depression and worry between her brows.
"Is the business not good recently? I think there are a lot of people coming to ask for medicine. I see that there are so many people here, even I am worried that the supply of medicinal herbs is running out. " Gold normally did not go to the front hall often, if it was before, he would still go to the front hall to help, but now that he had Feng Xuantian, he did not go to the front hall, but instead went to the back hall to dry the herbs, organize the herbs he had just purchased, and then do some chores.
Qingcheng shook her head, sighed and said:
"The people who came were all wounded, and the wounded weren't ordinary people either. They were all soldiers."
"Soldiers?" Jin was taken aback. Then, he remembered that he had seen a lot of soldiers on the streets and heard rumors about them.
The town of Fengshui could be said to be big but it was also very big and small, but it was actually a very special and very important place.
The town of Phoenix Water was always at the edge of Border Town, but its terrain was also very dangerous. As long as they captured Phoenix Water Town, they could be considered as having opened a window to Xuanyuan Kingdom.
The geographical position of the Feng Shui Town could not be ignored by the State of Xuanyuan. Even if it was not usually managed, at a critical moment, the State of Xuanyuan would still send out heavy soldiers to guard this place.
Moreover, the Great Chu had been at war with the Xuanyuan Kingdom, which had been at loggerheads for a long time. Yet, the Great Chu had sent six hundred thousand soldiers to attack the Xuanyuan Kingdom, which had made the small town on the edge of danger even more restless.
"I have also heard of this matter. Could it be that the increase in the price of medicinal herbs this time is also due to the outbreak of war?" Jin murmured, as he turned his head to look at Mo Qingcheng.
"But, aren't there doctors in the army? Why did these injured soldiers come to our little clinic to treat their injuries? "
Mo Qingcheng rubbed her forehead, and said with uncertainty:
"I heard from the wounded soldiers that this time, the Emperor sent a great general to the Phoenix Water Town. A few months ago, the great general was injured in a battle with a man of the Great Chu Country, and the people of the Great Chu Country were so despicable and shameless that they actually smeared poison on their weapons. The great general was poisoned, and the doctors accompanying him were all waiting by his side to take care of him." Other than the minor injuries that can be healed by themselves, the rest of them can only be treated by the local doctors. "
Hearing this, Jin didn't say anything else. However, someone couldn't help but want to say something.
"In that case, the General's injuries should be very severe, right?" "Then, what should we do about the town's safety?"
Qingcheng looked at the gold and then turned to look at Feng Xuantian, who had been silent the entire time.
"I'm not sure about the general's injuries either. "However, I believe that since the Emperor sent a general to our town, he must have a very deep motive. Therefore, we commoners shouldn't worry too much about these things."
Although Qingcheng's words were very relaxed, he knew in his heart that things were definitely not that simple.
It was fine to use these words to deceive pure gold, but to use these words to deceive oneself was simply a joke.
The mighty soldiers of the Great Chu were stationed not far from the town like a tiger. How could the people of the Great Chu not know about the general's poisoning? Right now, the Great Chu was not issuing any orders, and was most likely waiting for an opportunity. Once the opportunity arrived, the little town would be annihilated. Where would he go then? Where in this vast world would he find a place to live?
"I will protect you." Feng Xuantian's voice suddenly rang out, causing Qingcheng to turn and look at him.
"Heh heh, don't worry, I'm not a loser!" If someone wants to harm me, I will definitely kill them for it. " Qingcheng had a deep understanding of her own medicine. Although he was not a martial arts expert, he was still a doctor. People often said, "A doctor is a hidden killer." So, if someone really wanted to harm him, he believed that he would have a way to defeat that person.
Feng Xuantian didn't say anything as he silently looked at the smiling Qingcheng.
"Ah, that's right. Gold, try to communicate with the medicine merchant. After all, our small business also needs medicinal herbs. If there's no medicine in the infirmary, how can we treat other people? "
"Mm, I'll try my best." Jin nodded, and then said with worry:
Last time, I heard from old man Xu at the medicinal herb shop that a large portion of the medicinal ingredients were collected by the army. Therefore, the medicinal ingredients merchant should have less than fifty percent remaining in his possession.
Qingcheng nodded her head in understanding. What Jin said was very clear, there was no need for him to ask any further. In any case, in an extreme season, all sorts of extraordinary things would happen.
"Alright, I will leave this matter to you. You can decide on your own." to get what we want. " Mo Qingcheng estimated that the herbs in the pharmacy would take a month or so, which made him feel a bit more at ease.
"Yes." Jin nodded and stood up, intending to have a good discussion with Old Man Xu at the medicine store.
