"Xiaoyan, what makes you say that? All I see is you helping the general all along. For his sake, you traveled thousands of miles to this desolate desert. How could you possibly harm him?"
"I shouldn't have taken Fengqi in," Qiu Yan murmured. "Susu, she deliberately approached me just to find out where our gunpowder comes from."
"Hmm?" Qin Susu looked puzzled.
Seeing Qiu Yan's remorseful expression, she reached out and hugged her.
"Okay, okay, it's alright. You just had a nightmare. Don't worry, nothing happened."
As she spoke, she patted Qiu Yan on the back of the shoulder.
"Xiaoyan, didn't Ling Qi and Uncle Yuan already go to support the general? Don't worry, the general will be fine."
At this moment, she was also worried about her father.
However, she didn't think as meticulously as Qiu Yan.
Seeing that Qiu Yan didn't respond, in order to divert Qiu Yan's attention, she spread out her hands and waved the Cistanche deserticola she had just found, as if presenting a treasure.
"Xiaoyan, look, I've dug up so many herbs."
"Hmm, that's quite a lot." Qiu Yan picked up the small basket and weighed it in her hand.
I looked up at the sky.
Let's go.
Unaware of the situation in Qi, she felt inexplicably uneasy.
However, a dream is ultimately just a dream and shouldn't be taken seriously.
The two walked step by step away from the desert.
By the time they arrived at the mining area, it was already late afternoon.
Inside the mining area, Ling Ba led over a hundred soldiers in their final work.
As expected, the mining area will be empty tonight.
Qiu Yan and Qin Susu went down into the mine one after the other.
Upon seeing the two, Ling Ba turned around and began to report on the results of the past few days.
In the past few days, they have unearthed a lot of ore.
"Xiaoyan, we have mined all the nitrates here. We will leave first thing tomorrow morning."
"Okay." Qiu Yan had been thinking about leaving this place for a long time.
She had already made arrangements with Ling Ba that day, and that she would leave in two days, but she postponed it for a few days.
That's right, because she had promised Huyan Chanyu that she would treat him.
Just a few days ago, she had prepared a lot of herbs for Huyan Chanyu, the most important of which was Cistanche deserticola, which he was to take daily.
Furthermore, the hibiscus she picked today was also for him.
After all, borrowing so many horses from them was worth a lot of money.
Even if Qiu Yan disliked Huyan Chanyu, she still had to keep her word.
Qiu Yan and Qin Susu emerged from the mine and began preparing lunch for the soldiers.
Feeding over a hundred people is easier than before, but it's still communal cooking.
It's a large quantity, and it uses a lot of ingredients.
Fortunately, Qiu Yan and Qin Susu had also dug up a lot of wild vegetables, which were all packed into burlap sacks.
While cooking, Xue Ning and the other four came over to help.
These five people have almost been trained by Qiu Yan to be like a cook army.
Qiu Yan and her soldiers' lunch consisted of a soup with wild vegetables.
It was simple, yet the soldiers ate comfortably.
In a short period of time, thanks to Qiu Yan's arrival, the soldiers ate well, slept soundly, and worked even harder.
After lunch, the soldiers all went for a nap, but Qiu Yan, Qin Susu, Ling Ba, and Xue Ning did not rest.
Qin Susu and Ling Ba went to process the herbs they had just harvested, while Qiu Yan led Xue Ning and the other four into her temporary laboratory.
Inside the laboratory, Xue Ning, Feng Chao, and others, wearing homemade masks made by Qiu Yan, began separating their anti-inflammatory drugs as instructed by Qiu Yan.
