At the same time, all the people from Taihe Pharmacy were walking out of the cliff.
"After a whole winter in Youzhou, I can finally go out."
"Yes, I can finally touch the hands of the girls from the Thirteen Music Bureaus in the capital."
In the team, an old man and a young man were talking while counting the number of people entering the mountain path.
The old man was wearing a thick cotton jacket, and the head of an abacus could be seen in the package he was carrying.
You can see the gold-rimmed part of this abacus. This old man is at least the owner of a drug store, and the gold-rimmed abacus is his identity symbol.
In the business world, the abacus is a symbol of the shopkeeper's status. Generally speaking, the one inlaid with jade is considered the highest level, followed by the one inlaid with gold.
The order is inlaid with silver and then inlaid with copper.
Those who were apprentices in the business were only qualified to use the ordinary abacus on the counter. After they became masters, as their status improved, the abacus would gradually improve.
An abacus inlaid with copper, a shopkeeper of this level is already considered a big shopkeeper in a city.
This person must be the shopkeeper of a state, otherwise he wouldn't be carrying a gold-inlaid abacus.
The young man had a sword on his waist and should be the leader of the guards of this group.
"Don't worry, old shopkeeper. None of the people I brought out this time are bad."
"Although there has been no shipment for a whole winter, the amount of medicinal herbs stockpiled is too huge, but both the porters and guards are carefully selected, so there will be no problems."
The young man and the old shopkeeper gave assurances again and again.
Although this young man is young, he has a square appearance and a strong and sturdy build.
It was such a cold day, and he was only wearing thin clothes, but he didn't seem to feel the cold at all. It was obvious that he had well-developed muscles.
"This batch of medicinal materials is urgently needed, otherwise we wouldn't send it out in such a hurry."
"If it weren't for this, there wouldn't be so much anxiety about delivering the goods when the spring comes."
"Don't worry, old shopkeeper. Once we enter Dasan Pass and change to a carriage, you won't have to suffer so much."
"Even if those bandits come out, we are not afraid."
"These brothers were newly recruited in the winter. They are all former escorts and have rich experience."
The young man spoke seriously.
"It's all Linghu's fault for messing with that old guy. He created the Tiger Roar Army, and now there aren't even any bandits left around."
"These bandits have all fled to Qingzhou, turning it into a den of bandits. It's not safe at all."
"Especially this road of ours."
"Yanzhou is too far."
"By the way, what's the name of that guy from the Tiger Roar Army? He showed his prowess during the battle of Tianyong City, and his skills are said to be miraculous."
"That guy's name is Liu Feng, and he's indeed a character."
The head guard replied.
"Character? What kind of character is he?"
The old shopkeeper glared at Liu Feng and didn't take him seriously at all.
"What a piece of shit, thinking he's so great just by leading a few hundred soldiers."
"If this brat falls into my hands, I will smash him to pieces."
The guard just smiled and said nothing when he heard this, but he was worried in his heart.
Could it be that this old shopkeeper has been fooled by his calculations? The other party has more than a thousand elite soldiers at his disposal. The Northern Barbarian Cavalry is powerful enough, but they are like clay in front of him.
How can a skinny old man like you fight with others?
I guess they can take you down by sending out a small, insignificant pawn.
The two men stood at the mountain pass, watching all the donkeys and porters carrying backpacks enter the mountain path, and then followed the main group and slowly walked up the mountain path.
If it were in the past, this old shopkeeper would not have to come out and could just stay in Youzhou to take charge of the overall situation.
But this time, the medicinal materials had not been transported for a whole winter, and the quantity was too large, more than twice as much as before.
But that's just one reason.
The most important thing is that the old shopkeeper came out in person because he had two relatively rare medicinal herbs with him.
This thing is priceless.
This priceless does not refer to the herbs themselves. No matter how precious the herbs are, they still have a price.
But these two medicines are used to save an extremely important person.
Just as they were packing their luggage and getting ready to leave yesterday, an unexpected guest arrived.
This person is Qian Mu's personal bodyguard at Dasan Pass.
After questioning, we learned that the commander of Dasan Pass, Qian Mu, the third-rank general of Wuwei, had suddenly fallen seriously ill.
All the doctors in Dasan Pass were consulted, but none of them could help.
Finally, the condition was relieved under the treatment of a traveling doctor, but the two most important medicinal ingredients were still missing.
Then he went to Youzhou Taihe Pharmacy to look for it.
It just so happened that these two medicines were available at Taihe Pharmacy, so the head manager personally went out, carrying the two medicines with him, and headed to Dasan Pass.
In fact, the special thing about these two medicines is that they are poisons themselves.
This traveling doctor also used the method of fighting poison with poison.
The most difficult part is the preparation of these two medicinal ingredients. Not only do they need to be steamed and dried nine times, but some special methods are also used to suppress their toxicity.
Therefore, it cannot be found in Dasan Pass, and the only option is to look for Taihe Pharmacy in Youzhou City.
In view of this, the guards set out at night, risking falling off the cliff, to search for medicinal herbs in Youzhou City.
When the chief manager heard that something had happened to General Qian, he immediately took it seriously.
After sending the guard back to report that the medicine would arrive within three days, he immediately asked the people in the pharmacy to start preparing.
A large part of Taihe Pharmacy's shipments have to go through Dasanguan, and there is a cargo station inside Dasanguan. No matter from which angle you look at it, Taihe Pharmacy needs this favor.
