Gu Xin insisted on going with Gu Nian, but considering that Gu Nian was a young woman and it would be bad for her reputation to go with him alone, Gu Nian agreed to go with him.
Once inside his tent, Gu Nian shared her analysis.
Yan Mo had also thought of this, and pondered, "Hou Chang was lucid for a moment just now, but he refused to say how he bought it. Everyone else got it from Hou Chang as well. It's currently only circulating in their team. Other teams know about it, and some have even made arrangements with Hou Chang. However, I have already ordered someone to fill the gap where you sneaked in last time, so Hou Chang can't leave and therefore couldn't buy it this time."
Gu Nian said, "General Yan, I think that since Captain Hou said he only sells to soldiers, it must be that not only the troops stationed in Qingzhou are buying, but other garrisons should also be doing the same thing. Perhaps it's even more serious. The most important thing is to catch the person who sold the goods."
After listening to their conversation, Gu Xin said, "General Yan, sister, why don't we let Captain Hou wake up and go to buy it again? Then you can send someone to follow him, and we can catch him that way, right?"
Gu Nian sighed, she had thought of this method too, but it was too hasty to say something that would bring him to his senses. They had a way to bring him to his senses, but how could they explain it?
Yan Mo glanced at Gu Xin: "What if she can't wake up?"
Gu Xin's eyes flickered, and she said, "General Yan, how did you feel when I gave you a pill that day?"
Yan Mo frowned. Why bring up what we were doing that day out of the blue?
Gu Xin said, "When I was helping Grandma Xiao dry the medicinal herbs, she mentioned using poison to fight poison. General Yan, how does the heartache you felt after taking the pills that day compare to the pain you felt in the soldiers you saw today?"
Gu Nian immediately understood Gu Xin's meaning: using the principle of "fighting poison with poison," she fed the jade bead to Hou Chang. Regardless of whether the poison countered the poison or not, Hou Chang would be able to regain consciousness.
If they catch the seller, and Yan Mo still wants the Xizi Heartbreak Pill, they won't be able to produce it, and Grandma Xiao isn't in Qingzhou either.
Once Grandma Xiao returns, I reckon these people will be able to gradually kick their addiction on their own!
Gu Nian silently gave her sister a thumbs up in her heart.
Thinking of the excruciating pain he felt that day, Yan Mo felt an urge to slap the little girl to death. If it weren't for the fact that another kind of medicine powder was inexplicably effective for his chronic illness, he would have endured the pain and gone to kill her with a knife.
Yan Mo asked, "It's worth a try. Do you have any pills with you?"
Gu Xin took out a small bamboo tube from the small pouch on her belt, opened it, and used her sleeve to avoid Yan Mo's gaze. She placed a jade bead inside and then handed it to Yan Mo: "This is the only one left."
Gu Nian said, "General Yan, for everyone except Hou Chang, have the camp doctors prescribe some calming medicine. When they are sober, have them do more work so they are not idle, but do not drill them like soldiers do. Also, keep their daily diet as light as possible. These symptoms can only be seen as spleen and kidney deficiency on the pulse, without any other signs. But if you do this, they will gradually recover. Each person should be watched by at least three people. If they fall ill, tie them up immediately and gag them to prevent them from biting their tongues and committing suicide."
"General Yan, I hope you can explain the matter of this 'Extreme Pleasure Powder' to the generals in other garrisons as soon as possible and report it to the imperial court. Once people get involved with this kind of scourge, they will become addicted and unable to get rid of it. It can not only defeat soldiers in the army, but also students and ordinary people, causing families to be destroyed and people to die."
