Chapter 186: Find medicinal materials (first update)
Jiang Zhiluo was shocked and her eyes darkened, "You mean there's a war over there?"
Jiang Zhiluo was worried that the war would spread from a small area to the entire Yun Kingdom, and even the local area would be in chaos.
She remembered a dream about a war in the Yun Kingdom. It was a large-scale war, and food prices in various places were driven up.
Some middlemen collected grain from the villages and charged a higher price than usual. Many villagers were not informed and did not understand, so they sold some grain.

Thinking of this, Jiang Zhiluo's expression became solemn, "Who is organizing an army to fight?"
“Army?”
Wei Xingye was stunned for a moment, shook his head and said: "It's not an army, it's just a small-scale fight now."
“It’s the government office over there that colludes with bandits. The bandits often go to the village to rob food, chickens, ducks, pigs and other things, and even kill people. People in the village report to the government office, but the government office doesn’t care.”
“Actually, the people from the yamen colluded with the bandits, and somehow the villagers found out about it, which aroused public outrage…”
"Later on, many villagers could not survive as ordinary people, so they had no choice but to avenge the bandits, so they fought from time to time. There were several gangs of bandits over there. My father said that he would not accept escorts from Qingzhou in the future."
“Several brothers were injured this time, but fortunately nothing happened.”
Speaking of these, Wei Xingye felt a little frightened.
He immediately turned into starry eyes and said: "Master, thanks to you letting me wear gauze for running training on weekdays, I was able to escape this time. Otherwise, I would not be able to escape if I were not surrounded by bandits."
At that time, he felt that his body became very light.
“But some bandits were forced to become bandits, and their clothes were in rags.”
“Some bandits really kill people.”
Speaking of which, Wei Xingye was grateful to Jiang Zhiluo from the bottom of his heart and regarded Jiang Zhiluo as his master.
Jiang Zhiluo said: "Your Kung Fu training is for strength. If your body is not agile enough and your speed is not fast enough, you will look clumsy. Keep up the good work."
“Master, teach me, and I will teach you silver.”
Jiang Zhiluo really didn't think about this, mainly because she didn't really want to teach Wei Xingye before, she just treated him perfunctorily.
I didn’t expect him to be so serious.
“Do you really want to study seriously?”
“Yes, Master, I will definitely listen to Master in the future.”
In Wei Xingye's eyes, master is the same existence as his father.
“How much money did your previous master give you every month?”
“Three taels of silver.”
Jiang Zhiluo said: "Then just give me three taels of silver every month."
According to the market price.
“But Master, you are more powerful, so you should have more money.”
Jiang Zhiluo did not want to make money by recruiting apprentices, but Wei Xingye was very sincere, and the **** agency also ordered chili meat sauce from her, so she decided to teach this apprentice.
Jiang Zhiluo said: "Just follow the market price."
Three taels of silver is enough.
Those who go to the county academies to study, and those who actually take the imperial examinations, only have one tael of silver per month to complete their studies.
Wei Xingye looked at his master's expression and knew that he was willing to teach him. He was very excited.
Although the master does not ask for much money, he cannot be negligent and must be filial to the master.
Wei Xingye quickly took out three taels of silver and gave it to Jiang Zhiluo.
Jiang Zhiluo accepted it politely, "Are you okay if you are injured?"
“It’s okay, they are just minor injuries. I went to Xinglin Medical Center and asked Dr. Qiu to take care of them for me.”
“Doctor Qiu is back?”
She remembered that after the fire, Dr. Qiu and Zhuang Xingan disappeared together.
Doctor Qiu is back, does that mean Zhuang Xingan is back too?
Jiang Zhiluo was thoughtful. "Yes, Doctor Qiu is back. I heard he just came back yesterday."
Jiang Zhiluo looked at Wei Xingye and said, "You should take good care of your injuries first, then come to me after you have recovered, and I will give you some advice."
“Thank you, Master.”
Wei Xingye smiled as happily as a child.
"By the way, Master, we hid in the mountains to avoid bandits. We stayed in the cave for a few days and had nothing to eat. We just ate the chili meat sauce and dry food to survive those few days."
“And it’s cold in the cave. Even eating chili con carne will make you sweat.”
Jiang Zhiluo corrected: "It was so hot that I broke into a sweat."
“Now that I’m back, it’ll be fine.”
As if thinking of something, Jiang Zhiluo said: "However, if you have food at home, don't take it out. If the food storage is not enough, buy more and prepare it so that no one will notice."
“Master, why?”
Wei Xingye was distracted and didn’t think much about it.
Jiang Zhiluo said: "Don't ask why, but maybe I'm overthinking it. You should just listen to your family's arrangements."
Wei Xingye said: "Oh, my father also said that this year, our village will collect grain from the fields cultivated by others. We will not sell it out, but will save it all."
“The wheat that was threshed last year is also going to be saved.”
In this case, Jiang Zhiluo doesn’t have to worry about anything.
Jiang Zhiluo had a conversation with Wei Xingye and was ready to go back.
When passing by Xinglin Medical Center, she didn't notice Zhuang Xing'an sitting by the window on the second floor.
Zhuang Xing'an said a few words to the boy, and soon, a medicine boy ran out of the hospital and ran quickly to Jiang Zhiluo.
“Little Lady Jiang, Little Lady Jiang…”
Jiang Zhiluo turned around and looked at the medicine boy and said, "It's you. What, is there something wrong?"
The medicine boy whispered: "Our young master asked me to invite Miss Jiang to come over and talk."
When Jiang Zhiluo heard this, her expression changed. Is Zhuang Xingan back?
Jiang Zhiluo nodded and followed the medicine boy to the medical center and went to the second floor.
Then he saw Zhuang Xing'an sitting by the bed.
At this time, Zhuang Xing'an was wearing a gorgeous light blue brocade robe, with a gold and jade belt around her waist, and a beautifully carved jade pendant hanging on her waist. Her brows were gentle, her face was like a crown jade, her grace was elegant, and her clear eyes shone with a gentle luster.
But his face is still a little pale.
Jiang Zhiluo looked at his dress and felt that it was different from before.
It was as if this person's status had suddenly risen to a higher level.
“Master Zhuang!”
“Miss Jiang, please sit down!”
Zhuang Xing'an stretched out his hand to express the word "please".
Jiang Zhiluo walked over and sat down and said, "Young Master Zhuang looks much better than before."
“Thanks to Miss Jiang for saving my life.”
Jiang Zhiluo waved her hand and said: "It's your people who trust me, otherwise I wouldn't be able to save you."
Zhuang Xing'an said with a smile: "I can't even repay Miss Jiang for saving her life."
Jiang Zhiluo felt that this person had some secrets, and she instinctively felt that it was not simple. She did not want to be too involved and said: "I treat diseases and save people, and I charge consultation fees, so naturally there is no life-saving grace."
Zhuang Xing'an smiled softly, his eyes were like stars, but there was a mysterious luster in his eyes, "I have gathered the ingredients for the medicine that the girl mentioned before."
“And I found the medicinal materials you asked me to help find.”
Upon hearing these words, Jiang Zhiluo became excited, "Really?"
In this way, she can heal Cui Hejin's health. He will no longer be so weak and cough from time to time due to physical discomfort.
