Gu Mu believed that
No matter what, Shen Ling is his empress, she can't escape.
They may be angry, but that's their business as a couple.
They will then resolve the matter behind closed doors.
...
"Your Majesty, General Shen, Imperial Physician Su is outside the camp and says he has important matters to report to Your Majesty!"
"Outside the tent, a soldier said."
Gu Mu lifted the curtain and went out.
If Su Linlele comes at this time, it's highly likely that the drug has been successfully developed.
Sure enough, upon seeing Gu Mu, Su Linle pulled out another prescription from her bosom: "Your Majesty, this is a formula I developed, with similar effects to the two prescriptions you gave me. It can be mass-produced under our current conditions!"
Gu Mu took the prescription, glanced at it, and his eyes lit up.
The two prescriptions look similar in ingredients, but Su Linle's prescription is clearly more precise in its proportions and contains common medicinal herbs. In addition, Su Linle added a few other herbs, presumably to enhance the efficacy.
"And the results?" Gu Mu asked.
Su Linle rolled up her sleeves. She had rushed here from the palace, and her original wounds had almost healed. However, she knew that His Majesty must be very curious about the effects of this medicine. In order to give His Majesty a more direct comparison, Su Linle made many cuts on her hands on the way here and noted the time of each cut.
"Your Majesty, these wounds are all grouped in pairs. The top of each pair is untreated, while the bottom is treated. Please take a look at the comparison of the wounds."
On Su Linle's snow-white arms, the wounds were shocking.
Su Linle, however, remained calm, displaying a resilience beyond that of an ordinary woman.
She rose from humble beginnings to her current position as an official in the imperial court, disguising herself as a man to gain a foothold before His Majesty.
The suffering she endured far surpasses the extent of these wounds.
Gu Muzai carefully examined the wounds, gave Su Linle an approving look, and said that she was very thoughtful and ruthless. If she were just an ordinary minister, she would definitely be given an important position.
But now, Gu Mu has to think twice before giving her a chance.
Receiving Gu Mu's gaze, Su Linle also slightly curled the corners of her mouth.
But now it is wartime.
Su Linle quickly said to Gu Mu, "Your Majesty, I did not come alone. I was worried that something might happen on the way and I would not be able to deliver the prescription to Your Majesty smoothly. I made five copies of the prescription, two of which were kept in the palace and entrusted to trusted people for safekeeping. At the same time, I sent two pairs of people to deliver the prescription to Your Majesty. If they could not deliver the prescription, they were to destroy it and not let it fall into the hands of others. I wonder if Your Majesty has received any information about the whereabouts of those people?"
"No, not at all." Gu Mu hadn't expected this to happen.
“That’s not good.” Su Linle frowned. “One team took the trade route, so they should be much faster than me. The other team took the back road, so they should have arrived by now. It’s only possible that something happened to them on the way.”
News of the Southern Kingdom's impending attack on the Fox Kingdom had already reached the Fox Kingdom, and there were many ambushes along the way.
It is very likely that those two teams encountered some misfortune.
"However, since the prescription was delivered to His Majesty in time, I consider my mission accomplished. Those two teams that delivered the prescription are absolutely trustworthy people. Even if they die, they will destroy the prescription. Your Majesty, rest assured, I believe the prescription will never fall into the hands of the enemy!" Su Linle said confidently.
The reason she sent those two teams to deliver the prescription was because she had carefully considered the candidates; they were trustworthy in terms of both martial arts skills and loyalty.
Although they encountered misfortune, but...
Sacrifice is inevitable.
As long as the formula doesn't fall into the enemy's hands, things are going relatively smoothly.
Su Linle never expected that she would be the one to deliver the prescription to His Majesty in the end. In fact, she had already prepared to sacrifice herself. She hid the prescription in her sleeve, along with a tinderbox. If anything happened to her, she would immediately light the tinderbox and destroy the prescription.
Fortunately...
She arrived safely.
Otherwise, the three teams sent out would be completely wiped out.
Then Your Majesty, you can only obtain the prescription upon returning to the capital.
"In order to deliver the prescription as soon as possible, I didn't bring any medicinal herbs with me, only a few samples." Su Linle took out a small box from her bosom, inside which were two porcelain bottles, which were samples of the medicine she had imitated.
“But this place isn’t far from the nearest small town in the South, only a day’s journey by horse. We can buy things from the South and bring them over via trade routes,” Su Lin said happily.
The Southern Kingdom and the Fox Kingdom were originally neighboring countries.
The two places are adjacent.
There is a small town on the border of the Southern Kingdom, which is adjacent to the Fox Kingdom.
It's actually very convenient to purchase medicinal herbs from there.
Gu Mu immediately gave the order to send someone to purchase medicinal herbs.
...
The Fox Kingdom soldiers on guard duty saw Southern Kingdom soldiers driving that steel monster towards the Southern Kingdom and immediately reported this to the Fox Kingdom general.
After all, that steel monster was incredibly conspicuous, and it could carry a lot of cargo. This commotion in the South was no small matter.
"Send someone to secretly follow it and find an opportunity to hijack that steel monster." The Fox Kingdom general is highly skilled and daring. If he succeeds, his official rank will be promoted three levels, and being transferred from the border to the capital will be no problem.
If we fail, it will be the other soldiers who die.
From any perspective, the Fox Kingdom general wasn't at too much of a loss, so he solemnly ordered, "This matter is of utmost importance; success is the only option, failure is not an option!"
The soldier replied, "Yes, sir."
To intercept the steel monster, the Fox Kingdom general dispatched a full three hundred soldiers, who dispersed and followed the steel monster at a distance.
At this very moment, sitting in the truck was none other than Shen Ci.
Transporting medicinal herbs ensures the camp can maintain its supply of materials, which will be of great benefit to the war effort.
Furthermore, the Southern Kingdom has just arrived at the border of the Fox Kingdom and will definitely need to rest for a day before launching an attack. Although Shen Ci is a general, with His Majesty in charge of the military camp and General Meng, a veteran of the battlefield, Shen Ci's absence for a day will not be a problem.
And he's smart enough.
It was already expected that the commotion of the truck driving off would attract the attention of the Fox Kingdom people.
With him around,
This is necessary to ensure that the medicinal herbs are delivered to the camp smoothly.
Sure enough, the truck hadn't gone far when...
In the passenger seat, the strategist Chen Ci, who was constantly looking in the rearview mirror and observing the outside of the window, said calmly, "There are people in the directions of 30 degrees southwest and 45 degrees northwest... Judging by the number, there are at least a hundred."
Because of his exceptional eyesight and hearing, Shen Ci had been keeping this strategist at a high salary.
This time, he was also brought out.
With this strategist around,
The whereabouts of those Fox Kingdom soldiers were probably transparent to Shen Ci.
After all, trucks travel at high speeds, and keeping up with them is not an easy task, which inevitably causes some noise.
These movements were quickly noticed by the strategist beside Shen Ci.
