It was dusk when Qin Xiao returned to Iron Palace.
Although Ke Dun's complexion was not very good, it did not worsen. She was still limp and weak, but her symptoms did not worsen.
Qin Xiao brought back a box of antidote from the Kou Nan family. When he saw Ke Dun, he didn't hesitate and asked Ke Dun to send someone to mix the antidote with water, and then asked the infected patients in the iron palace to drink water quickly to detoxify.
Ke Dun was naturally confused about the sudden antidote, and Qin Xiao did not hide it, and told in detail what happened to the Kou Nan clan.
"The Queen Mother's Society?" Ke Dun said in surprise: "I have heard about the Queen Mother's Society in the Tang Dynasty, and it seems that it first took place in Qingzhou. When you were in Jiangnan, didn't you put down the rebellion of the Queen Mother's Society?"
Qin Xiao knew that every move of the Tang Dynasty must affect the rise and fall of the surrounding forces. It was natural that everyone was keeping an eye on the situation in the Tang Dynasty.
"Although the Queen Mother Society was defeated in the south of the Yangtze River, the remnants of the party are still there, so it is difficult to completely eradicate them." Qin Xiao said: "It's just that I didn't expect that they would extend their hands to the grassland."
Ke Dun was thoughtful, she was very smart, so she naturally looked deeply, and said softly: "The Queen Mother will send people to treat the epidemic, naturally she wants to congratulate her.
The tribes of Gu accepted their kindness. The grassland people must repay their kindness, and the tribes must remember such a great kindness in their hearts. If they put forward some conditions to Xiang Xiang, everyone will naturally try their best to repay the kindness. "
"I think so too." Qin Xiao sighed: "So I'm very curious about what conditions the Queen Mother will put forward to He Gu. They first rescued people from the Kou Nan clan in the hope of attracting the attention of the Iron Palace.
If everything goes well, Ketun will definitely send someone to ask for their help. If they ask for help, of course they can offer conditions."
Ke Dun nodded and said: "Exactly. In order to save the people of the Hegu tribe, I will agree even if the conditions they propose are very harsh."
"This is exactly what the Queen Mother would like." Qin Xiao said: "It's a pity that the Taoist and his companions were killed. We still don't know what the Queen Mother wants He Gu to agree to."
Ke Dun said: "You just said that the murderer only killed people and did not destroy the antidote. It seems that the murderer has no ill intentions towards us."
"Yes." Qin Xiao said: "I think the murderer must be hostile to the Queen Mother Society. He killed the Taoist and his companions just because he didn't want the Queen Mother Society's plan to succeed." He said thoughtfully, "It's just that I want to
I don’t understand, who is the murderer?”
Ke Dun thought for a while and then said: "The Taoist who can bring the antidote must be very familiar with this disease." He frowned slightly and said: "This kind of disease has never appeared on the grassland. There is a saying in your Tang Dynasty.
, it’s called untying the bell but also tying the bell. Is it possible that the epidemic on the grassland this time was caused by the Queen Mother Association? "
Her words are a bit nondescript when used here, but the meaning is very clear.
"I have the same idea as you." Qin Xiao said: "The miracle doctor Ye Daoquan also suspects that this epidemic is man-made, but he cannot be finalized yet."
Ke Dun's beautiful eyes showed a stern look, and she said: "If the Queen Mother Association caused this epidemic, the grassland tribes will definitely not be able to spare them."
At this time, the maid had brought the antidote that had just been prepared. Naturally, Ke Dun's diet was specially checked. After drinking the antidote, Ke Dun asked a few questions and found out that all the patients in the Iron Palace were drinking it. He felt a little relieved.
, turned away the maid, and then said with emotion: "This time it was you who allowed He Gu to escape death."
"This is not my fault." Qin Xiao said with a smile: "To be honest, it was the Queen Mother who would send medicine to the door, but they didn't expect the result would be like this."
But Dun smiled charmingly and said: "It turns out that you have prepared for your ten-day agreement. Ye Daoquan is the miracle doctor you were looking for in Tang Dynasty. You have already arranged for someone to come to help."
"Actually, Mr. Ye's medical skills are naturally superb, but without the Queen Mother to deliver medicine to his door, it may not be possible to develop an antidote in a short time." Qin Xiao sighed: "Fortunately, God opened his eyes and found a way, and the people also
You can avoid the disaster." Thinking of something, he took out a piece of paper from his arms and said: "Nu Yun, this is the formula that Mr. Ye finally found. He studied the antidote carefully and found out the ingredients of the antidote.
, the method of making medicine is written on it, you just need to let the people in the clan find these medicinal materials, Mr. Ye will be back in Iron Palace tomorrow at the latest, and will lead everyone to prepare the medicine together."
Ke Dun was overjoyed and walked over. Qin Xiao handed over the prescription. Ke Dun glanced at it and frowned: "You want so many medicinal materials?"
"Is there any difficulty?"
"There are more than a dozen medicinal materials in total." Ke Dun said with a wry smile: "There are several medicinal materials that Tiegong has reserves and can be taken out. We can find two medicinal materials, Ma Bao and Ban Zhi, on the grassland. But inside
The three medicinal materials of bezoar, eucommia and tuckahoe are extremely rare. They are extremely rare on the grassland...!" He shook his head and said: "These three medicinal materials are only
It can be purchased from your Tang country, and merchants from the Tang country rarely send these medicinal materials to the grassland for trade."
Only then did Qin Xiao realize that many medicinal materials were in short supply on the grasslands. Although silk, porcelain, tea and other commodities of the Tang Dynasty were deeply loved by various tribes in the grasslands, many medicinal materials that were scarce on the grasslands were even more valuable in the grasslands.
"There are many medicine shops in the Heishan Trading Ground. We can only send people to look for them there. If there is no goods in the trading ground, we can only send people to Datang to purchase." Qin Xiao thought for a moment and then said: "The trading ground
The epidemic situation over at Hezhen Yube is also very serious, so I happened to send someone to deliver the prescription. Nuyun, please find a few reliable people to come, and I will write two letters and send them out immediately."
Luoting Kedun knew that the situation was urgent. Although he had a prescription, there were too many infected people and large-scale medication was needed. In this case, he could only find the source of medicinal materials from the Tang Dynasty.
She knew very well that Tang merchants had always been cunning.
The Fucheng Trading Ground controlled by the Liaodong Army has always been an important source for the grassland tribes to obtain goods from the Tang Dynasty.
Once there is a shortage of goods on the grassland, Fucheng Trading Center will immediately raise the price.
When the grassland people were in urgent need of supplies, they had no choice but to be exploited by Tang merchants.
Now that grassland diseases are spreading, they are asking the Tang State to purchase a large amount of medicinal materials. The merchants of the Tang State are wondering what the grassland tribes need these medicinal materials for.
If it were in the past, the pharmacists at Fucheng Trade Market would definitely give sky-high prices.
But Ke Dun knows that Qin Xiao controls the Black Mountain Trading Ground. If Qin Xiao comes forward, even if the price of the medicinal materials is not low, it will not be too outrageous.
The most urgent task is to ask Qin Xiao to help purchase medicinal materials.
She immediately asked for paper and pen, and Qin Xiao did not delay. He immediately wrote two letters, two copies of the prescription, and co-authored two copies of the letter and sent them out together.
Naturally, one letter was sent to the True Feather Department and handed over to Wu Qinghan, while the other letter was sent to Ximen Hao.
Ximen Hao devoted himself to Qin Xiao and gave Qin Xiao great help. Qin Xiao also valued Ximen Hao very much. The specific matters of preparation and construction of the trading center were almost all handled by Ximen Hao.
Ximen Hao now not only runs trade in the trading place, but also assists Qin Xiao in managing many affairs of the trading place.
Qin Xiao knew that Ximen Hao had many friends, so in the letter, he asked Ximen Hao to purchase medicinal materials in large quantities according to the prescriptions. After preparing the medicinal materials, he would provide them to the grassland tribes as soon as possible.
Ke Dun found his trusted subordinates and immediately set off in two teams to deliver the message.
When everything was arranged, Qin Xiao breathed a sigh of relief.
He barely had a good rest these days.
After leading the troops to capture the camp, he traveled non-stop day and night to Tieshan. After solving He Loutai's rebellion, he went around to learn about the situation in the past few days. Even his iron-clad body was quite tired at this time.
Ke Dun naturally saw the tiredness on Qin Xiao's eyebrows. He knew that everything Qin Xiao did was for himself. He was moved in his heart. If he hadn't been suffering from the epidemic, he would have held Qin Xiao's hand.
"Yes, I almost forgot something." Qin Xiao thought of something, slapped his forehead and asked, "Is Nu Yun's body very weak?"
Ke Dun nodded and said: "After the infection, I have been weak and weak."
"?????????????????? I will help you unblock the acupuncture points with silver needles." Qin Xiao said: "Mr. Ye learned that once this disease is infected, the qi and blood will stagnate, and the key points will be
As long as the silver needle is inserted into several acupuncture points on the back of the neck, it can activate blood circulation and unblock the meridians, and you should be able to restore your physical strength as soon as possible."
Ke Dun said: "Can you do acupuncture?"
"Try it." Qin Xiao said with a smile: "How about finding someone else to come? Mr. Ye has a few companions staying at the Iron Palace. You can invite them."
Ke Dun immediately said: "No, I only want you."
"If you make a mistake, you can't blame me."
"Even if I die in your hands, I am willing to do so." Ke Dun said softly.
Hearing this, Qin Xiao smiled tenderly and said, "That's not possible. Even if the sky falls, I will help you hold on and I will never let you be in danger."
Ke Dun's beautiful eyes were full of tenderness, and she bit her lip before asking: "Then do you have a silver needle?"
"Yes." Qin Xiao said: "Four silver needles are enough. You should sit down first." He then said: "Actually, this is also a check-up. Although you are feeling unwell, you have no symptoms of the epidemic. In fact, you still have no symptoms until now.
I'm not completely sure that you must be infected. If your physical strength can indeed recover after the silver needles are used to clear the acupuncture points, it can be proved that you are really infected with the disease." After a pause, he said: "In this way, it can confirm one of my conjectures.
"
"What guess?"
"Don't worry, I'll talk to you after you regain your strength."
Although Ke Dun was aloof in He Gu, at this moment she was like a docile little sheep in front of Qin Xiao. After sitting down, she let Qin Xiao help her insert four silver needles.
After four needles were inserted into the acupuncture points, Qin Xiaocai said: "According to Mr. Ye, after the silver needles pass through the acupoints, as long as an hour passes and the qi and blood flow smoothly, you can clearly feel that your physical strength is recovering." He looked around and asked.
Said: "What time is it now?"
"Just entering Haishi!"
"Then you can get the needle at midnight." Qin Xiao said: "We'll find out when it's midnight."
Ke Dun was a little curious in her heart, not knowing what conjecture Qin Xiao wanted to confirm, but she was calm and not in a hurry. As long as Qin Xiao was by her side, she would be willing to go on board for ten days and a half.
