Chapter 442 Sold out?!

Author: Leng Qingshan

When he turned around and returned to the room, the room was already filled with smoke. He Wenzhu lit the medicine he had just prepared and smoked it around the room. The smell of these medicines was not too strong, but it still made him choke.

Everyone coughed repeatedly.

Shang Ruyi said: "You all, please go out."

Several people hesitated for a moment, and Shang Ruyi first said to Dai Junliang: "I hope you will pass on what the general just said and implement it to the end. These days, Fufeng will rely on you."

Dai Junliang cupped his hands and said, "Madam, please rest assured."

After saying that, he turned around and walked out.

Shang Ruyi looked back at Mu Xian, Cheng Qiao, and Shantong'er, sighed, and said: "You can't help much by staying here, so you should go back first and arrange your people. The general is ill.

The news should be spread soon, you must comfort your people and don't cause any trouble."

Several people nodded.

Shang Ruyi added: "If Song Yu and his men come to cause trouble for you, remember not to do anything."

"..."

"No matter what happens, we'll wait until the general recovers."

"..."

"If you really can't handle it, just come to me."

Mu Xian immediately said: "Young Madam, don't worry, we, we will not disturb Young Madam."

Shang Ruyi looked at the three of them and said: "It's a trivial matter to disturb me and the general. The overall situation in front of us is the big deal."

The three people looked at each other and understood the meaning of her words. They nodded one after another. Mu Xian and Cheng Qiao took one last look behind the screen. The man who looked weaker and weaker in the smoke had his eyes filled with sadness and unwillingness.

Still turned around and left.

Only the good boy stayed and said, "Sister Ruyi, I'll stay with you."

Shang Ruyi reached out and touched his head, and said softly: "Good boy, what your second brother has is not an ordinary disease. If it really happens to you - you are still young and you won't be able to survive it."

"But you can't do it without anyone here."

Shantong'er said loudly: "I think that person is a bad person, and I don't trust you and my second brother here!"

Seeing his serious look, Shang Ruyi smiled even though he was already burning inside. This kid was so brave just now on the battlefield, but when he spoke, he still had a sense of innocence and naivety.

.

However, although his words are straightforward, there is some truth in them.

Shang Ruyi thought for a while and said: "Well, let me have people clean up the east room. You will live in it for the next few days, but don't come over here. I will call you if anything happens. Also, you have to first

Go back and explain the matter clearly to the people below you, especially Nie Chong, and let him take charge of the people below you."

"I see!"

When the good boy received the answer, he turned around, picked up his bronze hammer, and hurried down.

As soon as he left, Shang Ruyi asked Wuxue to clean up the east room. She said nothing and walked out.

Everyone left, and Shang Ruyi breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, slowly walked into the inner room.

At this moment, the smoke from the burning fire had gradually dispersed, but the strong smell of medicine in the room was still a bit suffocating. So He Wenzhu threw aside the burned medicine dregs and tissue paper scraps, then wiped off his sleeves and faced Shang.

Ruyi said: "Madam, I've been fumigating this place for a while. Don't let anyone else come in for the time being. Madam... it's best to avoid it."

Shang Ruyi said calmly: "I will always be here, no need to avoid it."

He Wenzhu was startled and said subconsciously: "But Madam, you——"

Shang Ruyi turned her head and glanced at him. In her originally clear and gentle eyes, a light that was so powerful that it was hard to believe suddenly flashed through her. She said solemnly: "You can rest assured."

"..."

"I think the King of Hell is probably a little afraid of me."

"...!?"

He Wenzhu opened his eyes wide in shock.

This general's wife - in fact, he had just seen how the seemingly gentle and kind-hearted woman dealt with the generals outside, and he knew that she was not an ordinary woman, but these words were a bit too arrogant.

How can the King of Hell be afraid of mortals?

And no matter how unafraid of death he was, it was a bit inexplicable for him to say these words at this moment.

But after all, she was the general's wife. He Wenzhu did not dare to talk, so he could only nod in agreement. Shang Ruyi, on the other hand, looked at him and said: "Doctor, when I invited you to come, I already told you that the patient here has recovered from his illness."

Before, you couldn't leave."

He Wenzhu lowered his head and said, "I understand...I understand."

Shang Ruyi nodded and said: "As long as you cure my husband, I will definitely receive a heavy reward from you."

Although her words sounded like a reward, He Wenzhu, at such an old age, was not stupid and he heard it immediately. She only said reward after cure, but did not say what would happen if the cure failed, and this was not

What she said was actually what she really wanted to say.

Facing this gentle and calm general's wife, He Wenzhu couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.

He understood that he had only one way to survive, which was to let this general live.

He took a deep breath and said softly: "I understand, madam, please rest assured that I will do my best. However, if you want to treat these diseases, you will need some medicinal materials. I don't have any stock at home for now, I'm afraid -"

Shang Ruyi said: "Is it Magnolia officinalis, Talc and Atractylodes?"

"Exactly!"

"I've just sent someone out to look for it. I'm just waiting for the medicinal materials to be delivered."

"Yes Yes."

He Wenzhu looked at Shang Ruyi with some surprise. After a while, he boldly asked: "General's wife, it seems that you are also familiar with medical science?"

Shang Ruyi said: "I don't know everything, but I know something."

"..."

"But for my husband's illness, I still have to rely on you, doctor."

He Wenzhu nodded hurriedly and said: "I understand. I still have a few useful medicines in the medicine box. Now I'm going to boil some water and soak the silk handkerchief to cover my mouth and nose, so that I can take care of the general."

Shang Ruyi said: "Go ahead."

Then He Wenzhu immediately picked up his medicine box and walked out.

After he left, only Shang Ruyi and Yu Wenye were left in the room, who had been silent for a long time.

But as soon as this breath came out, her whole body

In fact, she felt that she was not pretending or forcing anything just now, because even if they left, she still stood upright, and what she wanted to insist on and protect had not changed.

only--

She slowly walked to the bed, leaned down, and sat next to him.

Yu Wenye on the bed had closed his eyes at this moment. He didn't know whether he fell into coma again or fell asleep due to exhaustion. He looked calm and gloomy, but Shang Ruyi understood that at this moment, he was afraid that

He was burned inside and out, and even being comatose might actually be a better situation for him at this moment.

Regardless of whether he is unconscious or sleeping, this is the only thing he can do in front of him.

So--

Shang Ruyi reached out and gently held his hand, then leaned down to his ear and said in a deep voice: "Dad said it before we left for the expedition - he handed over Xue Xian to you, and you, he

give it to me."

"..."

"You have guarded Fufeng, now it's my turn to guard you."

"..."

"No one can harm you in front of me!"

At this moment, she felt a movement in her palm. It was Yu Wenye's fingers that were trembling slightly, rubbing her palm.

Shang Ruyi took a deep breath.

She said: "Don't worry."

Time passed quickly, and it was evening in a blink of an eye.

The battlefield outside the city has been cleaned up, and there was no movement for the time being after Xue Xian's troops returned to Hexi. Therefore, the entire Fufeng City gate was closed tightly, and the city defense was much strengthened than before. The news that Yu Wenye was seriously ill spread quickly, and indeed

There was a commotion, but because the generals in each department made arrangements in time, there was no trouble for the time being.

However, the people in the city are uneasy, and there are still many hidden undercurrents.

After dinner, Shang Ruyi immediately went to the front hall of the government office to find Yin Changyue. He was sitting there, discussing matters with Dai Junliang and others. Both of their faces seemed to be slightly gloomy.

At this time, Shang Ruyi walked in slowly: "Master Yin, acting for the general."

As soon as they saw her, they both stood up and saluted.

Shang Ruyi also gave a shallow greeting, then walked to the side and sat down, saying: "I know you two are busy with business and shouldn't come here to disturb me, but in the morning I asked Mr. Yin to buy some medicinal materials, and until now

I haven’t seen it yet, so I came here to ask. Those medicinal materials——"

Hearing this, Yin Changyue's face became darker.

Dai Junliang on the side also frowned.

Shang Ruyi immediately felt something: "What's wrong?"

Yin Changyue said: "Madam, I have sent people to search for pharmacies everywhere in the city, even the small pharmacies. But - all the magnolia bark, talc, and atractylodes in the city have been sold out.

.”

"What?!"

Shang Ruyi was startled and stood up suddenly: "Sold out?"

"yes,"

Yin Changyue frowned, seeming to sense something was wrong from this situation, but he immediately said: "However, we also sent people out of the city to visit some herb collectors and some small villages and towns outside the city.

should--"

Before he finished speaking, several guards hurriedly walked in from outside and bowed to them. As soon as he saw them, Yin Changyue immediately said: "How is it? Have you found the medicinal materials?"

The few people looked at each other, all showing a little shrinking look.

One of them said cautiously: "My lord, madam, please forgive me. The villain and others found more than a dozen herb collectors outside the city, as well as people from small villages and towns. They said that someone bought those medicines at a high price a few days ago.

All medicinal materials are sold out."

Another person said: "Now, in the villages and towns near Fufeng, there is not a trace of medicinal residue left."

These words were like a bolt from the blue, shocking everyone.

Shang Ruyi felt that his mind went blank.

sold out.

Just like before in Daxing City, all these medicines were sold out?

No, not a sellout!

If before, she only thought that this matter was weird but had nothing to do with them, at this moment, she almost immediately concluded that this matter was for them, and the medicines were not sold out - but

It was purged cleanly by someone consciously!
