at night.
At this time, on the other side of the mountain, there was another lively scene.
In the distance, one could see the army of Cangzhou setting up camp, with blazing bonfires lighting up the entire forest. Soldiers laughing and talking happily could be seen everywhere, singing and dancing, eating meat with hearty mouthfuls, looking very happy.
Outside the campfire, several soldiers sat facing each other.
One of the soldiers looked dejected, and another soldier hit him with a punch. "What's wrong, buddy? Our army won a great victory today, and the Regent personally ordered a reward for the troops. Why are you still so depressed? Shouldn't you be happy after winning the battle?"
"You don't understand." Another person sighed, "Before he joined the army, his wife was afraid he would die on the battlefield, so she divorced him and ran away with another man."
The soldier was shocked when he heard this. "There's such a thing, man! This wife is such a piece of shit! You should go make some achievements and go back home to make that woman regret it!"
"What's this?" the two men continued. "It's about Old Liu from the assault battalion. A few days ago, fellow villagers reported that his wife is having an affair with Old Wang next door. If it weren't for the intense fighting, Old Liu would have rushed home right now to chop those adulterers down!"
There was a moment of silence before someone else said, "You can't blame the wife for this. We're away fighting all year round, and she's home alone, surrounded by men who are all eyeing her covetously. Isn't that..."
Having said this, several people seemed to have thought of something and were silent for a long time.
Until suddenly someone shouted in the distance, "What are you guys doing? Gather together."
Only then did they stand up, sweep away their sorrow and gloom, and quickly gather together.
After they left, a man suddenly sat up behind a rock not far away, looking in the direction they left and fell into deep thought.
"Master, why are you here!" Zhuying finally breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Yu Zhiheng.
"Is there any news from Wangfu Village?"
Zhuying swallowed with a gulp, "Nothing major has happened recently. Madam is selling medicine very well!"
Yu Zhiheng turned his head and looked at Zhuying. Zhuying smiled dryly, her heart in her throat.
"You must report anything to me, no matter how big or small it is."
"Okay." Zhu Ying breathed a sigh of relief. "I just saw that the master has been too busy recently and doesn't even have time to sleep, so it's just a small matter..."
Yu Zhiheng looked at Zhu Ying again, and Zhu Ying immediately shut up.
But my heart was beating fast. This month was really too busy. Not only was the war tense, but there were also all kinds of unexpected problems in the court.
Not only were food and wages not delivered, but several secret reports came from Tiandu in succession. Several major families took advantage of Yu Zhiheng's absence from the court to continuously devour Yu Zhiheng's power. Even their own personnel were replaced by them. They did not care about the lives of the hundreds of thousands of troops at the border at all. It was truly hateful!
Moreover, the Crown Prince of Minzhou, who was held as a hostage in Cangzhou, escaped. If Yu Zhiheng had not noticed something was wrong, the court would have kept the news secret.
Minzhou may have received the news. There have been continuous battles of varying sizes for a month. Fortunately, Yu Zhiheng was very smart and went straight into the enemy camp to burn their food and supplies, forcing them to withdraw three hundred miles, and they were able to catch their breath.
Therefore, during this month, Yu Zhiheng had very little time to sleep, so Zhu Ying took it upon herself to suppress some of the information sent by the secret guard that might affect Yu Zhiheng's mentality.
At that time, he just wanted his master to rest for a while, but now it seems that his life is in danger!
The next day, Sang Yu and Lin Xiaoxiao prepared medicinal materials together. Now Lin Xiaoxiao has gotten the hang of it, so Sang Yu doesn't have to intervene when she is busy, as Lin Xiaoxiao can handle it alone.
Because there were too many medicinal herbs during this month, Sang Yu built two large medicine sheds next to it and hired seven or eight young ladies to help make pills.
Not only that, Sang Yu made more than 30 prescription medicines in a row, including those for colds, wind-heat colds, dysentery, headaches, anti-inflammatory and antipyretic medicines, and even various plasters for rheumatic and bone pains, which were snapped up for a while.
Sang Yu simply hired a clever pharmacist and a doctor, and invited Dr. Lu to her store for consultations from time to time. Her store became very popular for a while, and many people went to her store to get medicine.
However, Huichuntang’s medicine encountered an unprecedented upset.
When the second in command heard the news, he was so angry that he smashed several teacups and took away all the medicinal herbs, leaving Sang Yu unable to buy any.
Sang Yu was not anxious when she heard the news. The medicinal materials she had in stock were enough for her to use. If all else failed, she could use blood for cultivation.
Huichuntang has so many medicinal herbs in stock. If they can't sell them one day, they will be in trouble.
However, Sang Yu finally decided to cross the river and go to Fulai County.
But this trip back and forth would take a lot of time, and she had no one available, so she was stuck in a stalemate for a while.
That day, Sang Yu came out of the store and heard a commotion in the crowd. She looked curiously and saw a vendor in a brown short coat dragging a refined man in his thirties or forties, shouting, "Everyone, come and see! This guy actually took my things without paying and tried to run away!"
The other man looked embarrassed and kept explaining, "I didn't take your things. I just took a look at them, and you dragged me to buy them. How can this be justified?"
"Hey, you're such a weird person! I'm selling food, and look at the color of your hands. Now I've already taken it, if you don't buy it, who will?"
People around also started to point fingers and talk. After all, it was just food. Some picky people also started to blame the man, and the man became more and more embarrassed.
Sang Yu took a look and suddenly felt that the man looked familiar. He looked closely and found that it was the former manager Wu of Huichuntang!
He looked more haggard than before, his clothes were dirty and worn, and his hair was a little messy, so Sang Yu almost didn't recognize him.
"How much is it? I'll give it to you."
Sang Yu paid for the meal and bought some more buns, handing them to Shopkeeper Wu. "Shopkeeper Wu, what happened to you?"
Shopkeeper Wu recognized Sang Yu and quickly bowed, saying, "Thank you for helping me out, young lady. However... I don't have any money right now. When I make some money, I will..."
"What are you talking about, Shopkeeper Wu? If you hadn't shown me the way last time, I wouldn't have been able to sell my herbs!"
"Oh!" Shopkeeper Wu sighed, looking very depressed.
Seeing that he was not in a good state, Sang Yu invited him to the store, and only then did she know what had happened.
It turned out that after the last fake ginseng incident, Manager Wu had another argument with the second-in-command, and in the end, he was kicked out by the second-in-command without even being paid.
