Chapter 18 The Man in the Woods
Nandeng City, Yongji Pharmacy, the atmosphere in the meeting hall was heavy at this time, as if it had solidified, making it difficult to breathe.
"Let's take a look, the new medicines sold by Yaowanju."
The boss Wu Yongji was sitting at the round table, his face as cold as frost, and his eyes as calm as a pool of stagnant water. The figures in front of the round table were trembling with fear. They knew very well that the calmer the boss was, the greater the anger brewing.
A dark green pill lay quietly on the table.
Yongji Pharmacy spent a lot of effort to get this. Yao Wanju was so popular that their people couldn't squeeze in, so they had to start with people who bought it.
Bang!
"Why don't you speak, you are mute?!"
After Wu Yongji finished speaking, no one answered for a while. He was already a little irritable. He slapped the table, startling several people, and then shrank his neck, not to mention not daring to speak.
"Why did I raise you a bunch of losers!"
Wu Yongji lay slumped on the chair, feeling irritable. When nothing happened, these people danced more happily than anyone else, flattering each other one after another. Now when something happened, he couldn't hold in a single fart.
"Chao... Chaofeng..., it's not that we don't have an idea, it's Yao Wanju, the young city lord standing behind him."
The silent atmosphere was broken by a weak voice.
"Then you mean to let it go?"
Wu Yongji cast his cold eyes on the person who spoke. He was a steward of the pharmacy. It was the idea of these people in front of him to make trouble and gain notoriety. Now that he had recruited the people behind him, he found that he couldn't afford to offend him, so he couldn't say anything.
I dare not say it anymore.
"No...no."
The steward responded bravely. Wu Yongji's eyes were so oppressive. He couldn't come up with an idea under the huge pressure. He felt like crying. Why should he be the leader at this juncture?
Behind Yao Wanju is the young city lord, which is probably the city lord's property. They have a small pharmacy, what can they do to fight?
But the bowl of rice in Nandeng City is only so big. The big bowl that Yongji Pharmacy has always eaten has to be turned into a small bowl. How can they eat enough?
But...there really is no way!
"Chaofeng, it's ready!"
Another steward screamed and said quickly: "Since it is a new drug, who can guarantee that there is nothing wrong with it?"
"We can find some people..."
Before the steward finished speaking, Wu Yongji interrupted with a smile and took over the conversation: "Find some people and insist that there is something wrong with the medicine. Go to Yao Wanju and ask for an explanation, right?"
Astonishment flashed across the steward's face, and then a flattering smile appeared, and he patted the horse and said: "As expected of a minister, I admire you for your wisdom..."
"idiot!"
Unexpectedly, Wu Yongji suddenly changed his face and angrily shouted: "You have already used this trick to death!"
"Can't you think of a new way?"
"Trash, it's all trash!"
"What's the use of raising you?"
…
Wu Yongji cursed angrily, and finally slumped down in a chair, rubbing his eyebrows. After a moment, he waved his hands irritably, "Put this matter aside for now, and get out!"
All the stewards immediately felt as if they had received amnesty, and stood up one after another to leave this place of right and wrong. No one wanted to get into trouble at this time.
…
It’s past noon at Yaowenju, but it’s still extremely popular. They’re all here for new medicines.
Huang Kaishan watched the crowds of people on the stairs and nodded with satisfaction. Such a scene made it worthwhile for him to stay up all night refining the medicine.
Yesterday, after sending the guests away, he ordered his assistant to go to the city to buy herbs. He spent a whole night refining and working hard all night. The quality was far from being as good as Su Chen's, but it was still barely good enough to be sold on the market.
Mr. Su must be very happy when he sees this scene.
"ah……"
Thick tiredness swept over him, Huang Kaishan yawned, turned and walked upstairs, "Go to bed."
When a person is old, it is hard to accept aging. When he was young, in order to study pharmacology, he would stay awake for days and nights without closing his eyes.
At the same time, Su Chen was passing by this street with Huang Qiaoqian, and saw Yaowanju crowded with people. Huang Qiaoqian looked stunned, "Is this... a newly opened pharmacy?"
She had never seen such a scene even in Yongji Pharmacy, a long-established drug store in Nandeng City, and she couldn't help but be surprised.
A smile appeared in Su Chen's eyes. Huang Kaishan was really talented in this area. It would have been impossible for anyone else to achieve this level in just one day.
Continuing shopping, Su Chen was used to shopping without buying. However, he would also buy some trinkets for the girl. When he put them on her, he would always make the girl look shy.
"Hey, did you hear that the notorious bandit wolf group was wiped out?"
In front of the hair accessories stall, Su Chen was playing with a jade hairpin in his hand. Suddenly his expression changed and he heard a conversation coming from the side.
"I heard a long time ago that the old nest was burned down."
"Then you know who did it, don't you? It's such a relief, you are doing something good for the people!"
"Hey, brother, you are really closed to the news."
"Let me tell you, Jiang Tong, the lord of Lintong City, you know, he led someone to do it."
"Good guy..."
Su Chen was about to listen carefully, but the two people were already drifting away while discussing this matter.
"Su Chen?"
Seeing Su Chen in a daze, Huang Qiaoqian called softly.
"Um?"
"Why are you in a daze?"
Su Chen smiled and put the hairpin in his hand on her head, "I'm wondering if this hairpin is worthy of you."
Hearing this, the girl's white cheeks suddenly turned red, and she glared at him with an angry look.
What's so nice about this? I like it as long as it's a gift from you.
"It's a pity. Although the hairpin is nice, the person is better and not worthy of it." As he said that, Su Chen ignored the resentful look in the stall owner's eyes, put the things back, and the two of them headed towards the next store.
Blinking her eyes, Huang Qiaoqian's face was calm, but the slight upward movement of the corners of her mouth still betrayed her mood.
Her Su Chen has changed more and more.
Although he was accompanying a beautiful woman, Su Chen couldn't help but think about the topic that the two people were discussing just now. The bandit wolf group was destroyed. If nothing else, it was because Prince Xijun's daughter was stolen.
The reason why they waited a few days was probably because they were looking for the hiding place of the Bandit Wolf Group.
Su Chen paid attention and stopped thinking about it. Although he was also involved in this matter, what happened later had nothing to do with him. The news that came out was that Jiang Tong did it. In fact, Prince Xijun might also be involved.
After separating from Huang Qiaoqian, Su Chen went to the Fuxi Mountains to practice again.
The evening wind was blowing and the sky was getting late. Su Chen sat on the stone, and the energy of heaven and earth gathered around his body.
rustle……
While he was practicing, a figure sneaked out of the woods. Seeing Su Chen on the stone, the corner of his mouth raised a ferocious arc, and murmured to himself with cold murderous intent: "It is indeed here."
"Boy, the destruction of the bandit wolf group is due to you, and I will let you pay with your life today!"
In the weak moonlight, the person's clothes were dirty, his hair was as messy as a chicken coop, and a ferocious scar almost ran across his entire face. The undisguised murderous intent on his face made it even more eerie and terrifying.
.
A sudden gust of wind blew up, and the night owls roosting in the distance were frightened and began to neigh. The sound was heartbreaking and seemed to foreshadow something.
Su Chen's robe was blown, but he still sat firmly, not noticing the figure getting closer and closer behind him.
