“Zhou Yuan, how about I take you to see General Yan tomorrow? Actually, there are many things I don’t understand, but you know more than I do. Grandma Xiao has a more complete collection of books, and you’ve read more. Perhaps that would be of greater help to General Yan,” Gu Nian said after thinking for a moment.
"Okay." Lu Zheng had this intention all along; he planned to lure Yan Mo into discovering it sometime before the matter came to light.
In his previous life, when Yan Mo was at the height of his power, he was still a prince who was forced to return to his ancestral home. By the time he caught the emperor's eye, Yan Mo had already been punished because of this matter.
Yan Mo was a very capable leader. Everyone here had been through the battlefield, and he didn't want such a tough and resolute general to die like this.
...
The next day, Su Yan's carriage arrived, but she didn't come. The servants explained that she was sick. She had been frightened the day before and had nightmares all night about her having an attack in the camp. She had sweated and caught a chill.
Gu Nian then sent someone from the Su family to the Li family to inform Li Han that they wouldn't be going to the martial arts arena today.
She and her two younger sisters took Lu Zheng to the camp.
They were stopped when they arrived at the camp.
"Miss Nian, no unauthorized personnel are allowed to enter!" the guard said, glancing at Lu Zheng.
"Please inform General Yan that this is the grandson of the doctor from our village who gave me the pills. He knows a bit about the Bliss Powder," Gu Nian said.
Upon hearing this, the guard quickly went inside to report.
They came out shortly after and led Gu Nian and the others inside.
The moment Lu Zheng stepped into the camp, he felt as if he had returned to the days when he led troops.
He hadn't walked far when he saw Qin Er. He recognized Qin Er. In his previous life, Yan Mo had taken all the blame upon himself. None of his soldiers were punished, except for those who had been exposed to the Ecstasy Powder, who were sent to do hard labor.
Qin Er came from a family of military officers and later followed General Peng. They both came from under General Peng's command, so they had some affection for each other.
However, after Yan Mo's incident, Qin Er changed his name to Qin Mo.
Gu Nian noticed that Lu Zheng's gaze towards Qin Er was a bit off, and guessed that this was probably someone he knew. However, there was only one person with the surname Qin in the book!
Gu Nian immediately realized that if she hadn't transmigrated and hadn't discovered the gap with Su Yan and the others, most of the people in this camp would probably have been infected with the Ecstasy Powder. If things got out of hand, Yan Mo would definitely be severely punished, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that his family would be wiped out.
So that's how it is. Yan Mo isn't a character in the book because he doesn't exist in the male protagonist's storyline; he was already gone before the male protagonist rose to prominence.
"My name is Zhou Yuan, and I greet General Yan!" Lu Zheng clasped his hands in greeting.
"Young Master Zhou, you're too kind. The messenger reported that your family has a renowned physician who knows about this Blissful Powder?" Yan Mo asked, gesturing for them to sit down.
“Yes. The Powder of Bliss is taken from the Beauty Flower, which is a flower that only grows in the southern borderlands,” Lu Zheng said.
Yan Mo frowned instantly upon hearing the beautiful woman's voice.
He had fought in the Southern Frontier for two whole years and had heard of this flower. He only knew it was a forbidden flower in the Southern Frontier, but he didn't know why it was forbidden. Now I see.
Zhou Yuan then went on to explain in detail what he had learned in his previous life, mentioning several other places that were under the command of Yan Mo's soldiers.
But he didn't elaborate further, because if he did, Yan Mo would probably become suspicious.
As for how to get rid of this addiction, he thought Gu Nian's method was very good. After all, many soldiers died because of this in his previous life, and some of them recovered afterward, but very few did. Now, while this thing hasn't been around for long, the soldiers in the army should be able to overcome it.
