Chapter 1759 White Dragon City
Seeing that he hesitated, Wang Baizhi said softly, "Your Majesty, I have something else to report."
Zhu Feng came to his senses and asked, "What?"
Wang Baizhi lowered her head and said softly, "Your Majesty, I have analyzed the poison that Lord Ye was poisoned with and am now preparing the antidote. As long as the antidote is prepared, Lord Ye can be saved."
"real?!"
Upon hearing the news, Zhu Feng opened his eyes wide in surprise: "So soon?"
Wang Baizhi said, "I dare not deceive you."
Zhu Feng and Nan Yan looked at each other and both couldn't help laughing.
No matter how bad the current environment is, or how many difficulties lie ahead, Ye Zheng is very important to them. As long as he can be saved, it will be like a little sunshine in the sky in the worst weather, always giving them hope.
Nan Yan also smiled and said, "That's great!"
Zhu Feng immediately said, "Then you must hurry, you must hurry. If you can find the antidote and save him as soon as possible, I will definitely reward you handsomely!"
Hearing his words, Wang Baizhi's expression became even more serious.
Nan Yan noticed his expression and immediately asked, "What's wrong?"
“…”
"Doctor Wang, is there any difficulty?"
Wang Baizhi glanced cautiously at Zhu Feng, then back at her. She lowered her head and said, "Your Majesty, and Your Majesty, there has always been a shortage of medicine in Shazhouwei. The army only has some common wound medicines on hand, and most of the medicine sold in the city's pharmacies is of this type. However, I have analyzed the poison that Lord Ye was poisoned with, and I found that one of the herbs required for it is not available here."
Zhu Feng immediately asked, "What medicine?"
Wang Baizhi said, "Marrow Cleansing Flower."
"Marrow Cleansing Flower? What kind of medicine is this? Why do I seem to have never heard of it?"
"In reply to the Emperor, this medicine was brought over from the Western Regions. Originally..."
When Wang Baizhi said this, she looked at Nan Yan carefully. Nan Yan immediately understood what was going on. The two brothers of the Si family were the pioneers of the westward journey. Since they were pioneers, they naturally brought back a lot of things from the west. It is likely that this kind of medicinal material was brought back by them.
However, Wang Baizhi was concerned about herself and didn't dare to say it rashly.
He coughed lightly and continued, "This medicinal herb was originally called 'Xi Sui'. After it was introduced to Yan Country, it was cultivated in the south for a period of time and later renamed 'Xi Sui'."
Zhu Feng asked, "Since it exists in the country, why haven't I heard of it?"
Wang Baizhi glanced at him carefully again, then said, "There used to be, but later, Emperor Gao...Emperor Gao ordered the planting of these things to be banned. All of them were banned."
Zhu Feng took a deep breath.
Even if he had lost his memory, someone had told him about Emperor Gao's stubbornness and xenophobia, even if he didn't remember it.
Even the road to the west was blocked by him, let alone these things coming from the west.
Wang Baizhi said, "So, there are almost no such herbs in the country now. Moreover, this herb is also very strange. The stamens, petals, roots, stems and leaves all have different toxicities. I heard that the toxicity is strange and they can all be used as medicine."
“…”
"What Lord Ye needs is the root of this flower."
Zhu Feng frowned and said, "There's none in the country, so where can we find this kind of medicinal material?"
Wang Baizhi also frowned and said softly, "This is exactly what worries me. If this medicinal material came from the west, if some merchants traveling west could come here at this time, perhaps one of them would bring it with him."
Nan Yan said, "But recently, due to the troubles of the Sand Bandits in Hot Moon Bay, all roads leading into the pass have been blocked, and those merchants are unable to enter. The Emperor came here because of this matter."
"this--"
Wang Baizhi sighed in annoyance.
"Your humble servant, your humble servant really has no other choice."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Feng's expression suddenly became serious.
No matter what, he must save Ye Zheng's life, even if he has to send people out to the Western Regions to obtain this medicinal material, he must save Ye Zheng!
At this moment, Nan Yan said softly: "Your Majesty, please don't be anxious. Call Lord Yang and the others over to ask them."
"Um……"
"Lord Yang has been stationed at Shazhouwei for such a long time and has seen many merchants coming and going. Perhaps he knows some clues?"
Zhu Feng thought about it and immediately asked someone to call Yang Dai over.
Soon, Yang Dai arrived here. As soon as she entered the door, she knelt down in front of the emperor and the imperial concubine: "Your humble servant greets the emperor and the imperial concubine."
"You get up first."
Zhu Feng got straight to the point and said, "I want to ask you, there is a special medicinal herb called the Marrow Cleansing Flower, which is a specialty of the Western Regions. Think about it, is there any way to get this herb?"
"Marrow Cleansing Flower? Western Regions?"
When Yang Dai heard this, she looked a little surprised: "This is——"
Wang Baizhi immediately said, "Master Ye needs it."
Hearing this, Yang Dai immediately thought seriously, and after a while, she said: "Your Majesty, although Shazhouwei does not have this medicine, there may be a place that has it."
"Where?"
"White Dragon City."
"White Dragon City?" Zhu Feng heard the place name, which seemed familiar yet unfamiliar. He immediately asked, "What is this place?"
Before Yang Dai could speak, Nan Yan spoke first, "Bailong City is a city nearby. It's called a city, but in the beginning, it was just an oasis."
"Oasis? How did it become a city?"
"Because Emperor Gao closed the western route in the past, many caravans were unable to enter the Central Plains. However, some people in the Central Plains had a demand for products from the west, so they conducted black market trade here. Some caravans traveled long distances and stopped at oases near the water source on the border to rest and trade."
“…”
"As more and more people came and went, this kind of trade took shape, and gradually the area expanded to become a city. Although it was ownerless, it was extremely bustling."
"oh……"
Zhu Feng raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this, then turned to look at her: "How did you know?"
Nan Yan said, "I heard my grandmother mention this when I was little, and later I heard from some people in the market that the emperor has allowed trade with the Western Regions. Although these places have been affected, a lean camel is bigger than a horse. Perhaps there will be some precious things from the Western Regions."
Yang Dai immediately said, "Your Majesty is indeed well-informed. Your Majesty, the White Dragon City is just as you described."
Zhu Feng asked, "Where is that city? How far is it from here?"
Yang Dai said, "It's not far. We can get there in a day by horse or carriage. It's northwest of Shazhouwei. They were previously harassed by the sand bandits from Hot Moon Bay. That place doesn't belong to our Yan Kingdom or the Neng Kingdom, but there are many wealthy businessmen there. They spent their own money to organize militias and have fought against the sand bandits."
“…”
"They didn't have much contact with us originally, but recently, something seems to have happened to them."
