Chapter 169 The Western Liang Army Approaches



"Oh? It seems that those rumors are true?" General Weihu suddenly laughed.

Xiao Jian was startled and said nervously, "I... didn't say anything."

"I didn't ask anything. Commander Xiao, there's no need to panic." General Weihu walked down and patted him on the shoulder. "I heard that Divine Doctor Yun is also helpless against the illnesses in the quarantine camp?"

"Yes... yes, it's a shame. The antidotes in the city are in short supply now. Even if we develop an antidote, it will be a drop in the bucket. Even if Doctor Yun is here, she can't solve the problem of insufficient antidotes!" Xiao Jian sighed.

After Xiao Jian left, General Weihu's smile deepened: "It seems that the prince's plan can be implemented."

Within two days, countless problems broke out in Yicheng.

First, the antidote that was escorted from Yancheng was intercepted by bandits on the way. Then, the people who had bought the antidote at a high price found that the antidote was completely ineffective, so they launched a deceptive riot in the city.

"These antidotes are completely useless. After taking them, our illness relapsed!"

"The imperial court is full of liars. This antidote developed by Divine Doctor Yun is totally fake!"

Even the pharmacy inside Yicheng that made the antidote was besieged by a mob: "Liar! Liar! Liar!"

The places where soup was distributed and the quarantine areas were also filled with protesting people.

"Hand over Divine Doctor Yun immediately. We need him to explain. Does he have an antidote?"

"That's right. The antidote we bought from the City Lord's Mansion was also said to have come from Yancheng, and was made by the same pharmacy. After taking it, the disease relapsed. Isn't this deceiving the public?"

The gate of the City Lord's Mansion was packed with people.

The people all hope that Yun Miao can come out and give an explanation.

However, at the gate of the City Lord's Mansion, the Eagle Guard stopped them with a cold face and said, "Divine Doctor Yun is not in the mansion right now. If you have any questions, you can wait until Divine Doctor Yun returns and I will answer them for you."

But the people were not convinced: "Does Divine Doctor Yun's reluctance to come forward mean that he is guilty?"

Some people have even started parading people in the streets to show their support for the gatherings.

The praises for Yun Miao before now turned into insults: "A liar and a miracle doctor, he must be forgiven by heaven!"

"Hand over Yun Miao quickly! He must give us an explanation!"

Even the medical team was surrounded.

"Doctor Qiu, what should we do now? Is the dean's medicine really useless?" the young doctor asked Qiu Hanqing beside him.

Qiu Hanqing said firmly: "Everyone must trust the dean."

Since he met Yun Miao, he has never disappointed anyone.

I believe he can resolve this crisis.

"When will the dean come back?"

"Wait..."

On the second day after the problem broke out, the Western Liang Kingdom also issued a declaration of war to the Tiansheng Kingdom: Three days later, the Western Liang Kingdom’s army will be on the border!

And at this time in the military camp.

It was also a mess.

"During today's meeting, the Third Prince suddenly fainted and has now been admitted to the quarantine camp with a fever."

"Ah? What should we do now? We are leaderless, and the Xiliang army will attack the day after tomorrow."

General Weihu had no choice but to take on the responsibility of the entire military camp.

"Are you sure Mulansheng is ill?" In the Xiliang military camp, Su Qingyan said in disbelief.

The confidant couldn't help but say with joy, "Your Highness, how could anyone in this world possibly cure the plague? Sure enough, the people of Yicheng are now protesting. The antidotes we bought from Yancheng are completely ineffective. It seems we have nothing to fear. They are in chaos and their army is completely defeated."

However, Su Qingyan felt something was amiss: "This prince just feels that everything is... too smooth. Mu Lansheng is not someone that easy to deal with."

He was worried about a trick.

"Your Highness, I feel that no matter how powerful Mulansheng is, he is just a human being. It is normal for him to fall ill when the plague is so serious. We always thought that the Tiansheng Kingdom had really developed an antidote and sent people to intercept it. Now it seems that they have tied themselves up in a cocoon. There is no antidote at all. The people are in chaos. Mulansheng has fallen ill again. We are leaderless. It is God's help that we are in trouble." The confidant said excitedly.

After thinking about it over and over again, Qingyan couldn't find any flaws.

The fact that the antidote was fake was testified by countless people in the city themselves. Spies confirmed that fights had occurred in all major pharmacies and quarantine areas in the city. It was impossible for the people of the whole city to collude to do such a thing.

"Indeed, where else in the world can someone so formidable, capable of crafting such powerful weapons and possessing medical skills?" Su Qingyan sneered. "But even so, Yun Miao must be captured by this prince. They still have powerful weapons in their hands, so we can't act rashly. It just so happens that Mu Lansheng has fallen ill, and the city is in chaos. Send a message and tell them to capture Yun Miao tonight, no matter what."

"Yes, Your Highness!"

When General Weihu received the letter, he immediately called his subordinates and asked, "Where is Divine Doctor Yun now?"

"Reporting to General Wei, Divine Doctor Yun is currently taking care of the Third Prince."

"Hmph, he hasn't even developed an antidote yet, so what's the point of taking care of the Third Prince?" General Weihu's face showed a hint of disdain. "Not only is the city in chaos, but the morale of the army is also beginning to waver. Hurry and summon Divine Doctor Yun. Tell him I want to ask about the patient's condition."

However, just when there was chaos outside.

Yun Miao, however, was lazily staying in the largest tent next to the isolation camp in the back mountain, refining elixirs.

Bottles of white medicine powder have piled up into a small hill.

Bai Shao, who was standing guard outside the tent, couldn't help but ask worriedly, "The owner locked himself in here making medicine all day without even taking a break."

"Now that the war is imminent and the prince has fallen ill at a critical moment, the owner of the museum must be anxious. I heard that there was a riot in the city in the past two days. You must not tell this to the owner of the museum later, so as not to affect her mood again." Changfang was worried.

Ah Hei and Ah Hui stood there blankly, worry flickering across their faces. Ah Hei said, "The entire quarantine camp has been sealed off, and we can't get close. I heard that the Third Prince is afraid of the spread of the disease and has strictly ordered that no one is allowed to approach the quarantine camp. Is the owner of the museum refining a new antidote now?"

Just at this moment, Ye Feng and Lin Feng came from not far away.

Seeing the two of them, Chang Fang immediately stepped forward and asked anxiously, "How is the prince?"

Ye Feng just sighed and shook his head: "The situation is not very good."

"We are here to get the medicine and deliver Dr. Yun's new medicine to the quarantine camp." Lin Feng said.

"Come in!" Hearing the noisy sounds outside, Yun Miao guessed that Ye Feng and the others had arrived. She finished the last procedure in her hands and spoke from inside the tent.

Yun Miao pinched her aching shoulders, then looked at Ye Feng and Lin Feng who walked into the tent carrying two plain sacks.

"What happened?" Yun Miao asked the two of them.

Unexpectedly, Ye Feng and Lin Feng couldn't help showing some joy on their faces, and whispered: "Everything is great!"
