Chapter 359 Where do the weapons come from?
Donggui's eyes flickered, and Hua Qing said, "You don't have to lie to me, I smell the scent of Ginseng Nourishing Spirit Pills, and only we in the Hua clan have that prescription." The medicine she picked last night in the wind and rain was also the ingredient for Ginseng Nourishing Spirit Pills!
"I haven't made it yet, but my uncle is with the Third Prince, so apart from the Third Prince, there won't be anyone else." Hua Qing's eyes sparkled as he asked, "The Third Prince risked his life and braved the heavy rain to come and rescue the young lady? He was even willing to bring her life-saving medicine. They are truly a perfect match!"
Donggui pursed her lips and wanted to be mute, but Huaqing never stopped talking.
When Xiao Jiuyue woke up again, she was in much better spirits. She asked, "How is everyone doing? Is everything okay?"
"Don't worry, miss. We are all fine." Lianxin fed the girl millet porridge. They were all doing well and asked the miss to rest assured and recuperate.
After drinking the warm millet porridge, Xiao Jiuyue felt much more energetic than yesterday. She said, "Let everyone in."
"Donggui, Huaqing, and Jinwen are resting too. Do we want to call them all at once?" Lianxin asked.
"No need. Just call those who haven't rested yet." Xiao Jiuyue called people in. Except for those who were resting, Jin Wu, Yu Ge, Shang Yifan and Zhao Sheng, Hou Jian and Li Da, and Zhu Jiuliu were all here.
"Did the bandits give you any trouble?" Xiao Jiuyue felt relieved when she saw that they had all changed into clean clothes. However, these bandits...
"Sister Yue, apart from Brother Shan and his men, we have bribed a few of the rest and also talked to the informant. The government has been cracking down on bandits very vigorously recently, and the bandits don't care about us now." Shang Yifan took the initiative to tell what he knew.
Yu Ge also said: "There are 23 men and 20 women on our mountain right now. There are only three people patrolling and guarding at night. They are all Shan Ge's men."
The anthocyanin powder was very useful before, and Brother Shan didn’t dare to neglect them at all.
"I went to other hilltops yesterday. The bandits have gathered together, ready to face the soldiers." Jin Wu immediately added: "Excluding the elderly, the weak, women and children, there are no more than 500 bandits who can actually take action!"
"With no more than 500 of them, the Hongdu Prefecture is helpless?" Xiao Jiuyue was surprised. She had heard before that when a thousand soldiers were sent to suppress the bandits, only a few were left. Her eyes sparkled. Perhaps there was a hidden story in this.
"Miss, you have just recovered and it is not appropriate to worry." Lianxin handed over the freshly cooked Tremella soup.
Shang Yifan and the others exchanged a glance and immediately said, "Sister Yue, recuperating is more important. Although this is a bandit stronghold, it is safe for now."
"Yes, Miss, it is important to recuperate." Jin Wu also responded.
"Okay, you've all worked hard these days." Xiao Jiuyue knew that her illness had caused a lot of trouble. She went to Jinwu alone and stayed there, saying, "Jinwu, see if you can find out where the boss is."
"Sure." Jin Wu responded and turned to leave when Xiao Jiuyue stopped him, "Go with Hua Qing tonight."
Hua Qing's skills are not bad, but she is more skilled in deceiving people. In addition, she has those strange medicinal powders on her body, so she can rest assured that she and Jin Wu can deal with them together.
"Miss, are you looking for the account book?" Jin Wu guessed that the account book he had found from Zhu Jiuliu before only covered one year's worth of accounts.
"The account book is one thing, and I also want to see why this bandit camp has so many weapons!" Xiao Jiuyue felt that this bandit camp was different. How could so many bandits live here safely for so many years...
Where do weapons come from?
"Miss, I'm going to explore the route tonight."
As soon as Jin Wu left, there was a commotion outside: "Miss, please let me see the eldest lady."
"Who?" Xiao Jiuyue listened to the noise outside and looked at Lianxin. Lianxin replied, "Miss, it's the bandits. They want the antidote for the Heart-Twisting Pill."
"Don't worry, young lady. I'll send them away right away." Lian Xin was about to leave when Xiao Jiuyue stopped her and said, "Let him in."
Lian Xin paused and said, "Yes."
Soon, Shan Ge came in, accompanied by Jin Wu and Jin Wen. If anything happened to Shan Ge, he would be suppressed immediately.
"Miss, can you give us the antidote?" Brother Shan knelt down immediately. These days, they were living a life worse than death. Once they didn't take the antidote on time, they felt like someone was twisting their hearts with a knife, and they felt uncomfortable all over.
Brother Shan originally thought that the poison pill would be gone in a few days, but who knew that it would hurt just like a rooster crowing.
Brother Shan couldn't help it.
"Don't worry, Miss. As long as we have the antidote, you can stay here as long as you want. When you leave, I will definitely send you away secretly." Brother Shan still has a say on this mountain. He is the big brother on this mountain.
"There were other bandits at that time, right? Aren't you afraid that others would cause trouble for you?" Xiao Jiuyue's eyes sparkled as he stared at Brother Shan. This was a ready-made good candidate.
"Don't worry, Miss. I've already taken care of those people. I'm sure the news won't leak out."
Shan Ge patted his chest and promised. His flattering expression formed a sharp contrast with his burly figure. He said, "Besides, they can't take care of the young lady right now. Now that the prince has arrived with his soldiers, everyone is thinking about how to respond."
Originally, he was going to go, but the whole mountain needed people to work at home, so Shan Ge stayed in the village to cook for everyone and bandage the wounds of the injured.
Who made his brother-in-law the only doctor in the village?
"Miss, can you give me the antidote?" Shan Ge was thinking about the antidote. He said flatteringly, "I have already released the son of the Luo family, Miss."
Brother Shan tried hard to act good, fearing that Xiao Jiuyue didn't know about the good things he had done!
"Since you helped me, I must give you the antidote." Xiao Jiuyue's words made Shan Ge happy immediately, but the next sentence made Shan Ge embarrassed.
"However, I need you to do something tonight. You said before that there are a lot of weapons in the village. Can you take us to see them?"
Shan Ge shuddered and said, "Miss, this, this is life-threatening. These things are under the control of the Second In Command."
"Just a look, a chance to open my eyes. I'm not taking anything. How would your Second-in-Command know?" Xiao Jiuyue's eyes flickered slightly. He looked at Shan Ge with a smile and said, "If you can't even fulfill such a small request..."
Xiao Jiuyue stretched out his words, and Shan Ge immediately said, "Okay, okay."
After agreeing, Shan Ge repeatedly asked: "Miss, it's just a look, right?"
"Yes." Xiao Jiuyue nodded.
Brother Shan immediately said, "Let's see if it works."
After Shan Ge left, Xiao Jiuyue was immediately held down by Lian Xin to rest. She said, "The doctor said that Miss needs to rest more so that her illness will heal faster."
