Nangong Jianyu sat opposite Chu Qingyan in the attic of the city's daughter. Every time he saw this woman, his heartbeat would speed up inexplicably, and his eyes would not even dare to stay on her face for too long.

"Nangong Jianyu, can I ask you a question?"

Chu Qingyan looked at Nangong Jianyu who was preparing the detoxification for her, and suddenly asked such a sentence seriously, with a serious look in her eyes.

"Well, you ask."

Nangong Jianyu lowered his head and counted the pills he had prepared. He didn't notice Chu Qingyan's expression, so he answered naturally.

"You...why do you want to help me?"

When Chu Qingyan met Nangong Jianyu for the first time, she felt that this young man was different from the noble children she had met. Although she couldn't tell what was different, the feeling was very real. She didn't even expect that she

He was actually tempted.

"Oh, why did you say I helped you? That's because... I'm a doctor."

Nangong Jianyu raised his head and glanced at Chu Qingyan. He did not lie to her. He came to the city because he wanted to save talents. Of course, he also wanted to earn some gold. But the moment he saw Chu Qingyan, he seemed to have found

He wants to protect the woman he has spent his whole life with.

"Here, swallow this pill."

Nangong Jianyu held up Chu Qingyan's hand. This unconscious move made Chu Qingyan's face flush. Only when he saw Chu Qingyan's flushed face did Nangong Jianyu realize that his actions were inappropriate.

"Um!"

Chu Qingyan actually did not blame Nangong Jianyu, but responded gently, which made Nangong Jianyu secretly happy. He suddenly felt that this hand gave him a sense of happiness.

Ahem!

Good times are always so easy to be ruined, and it just so happens that such an ignorant person comes. Chu Hong knew that Nangong Jianyu came to detoxify his daughter, and he was so happy that he rushed over and saw what happened just now.

"Master Chengfu, I am... here to detoxify Miss Chu. As long as you take these pills as I told you, all the poison in Miss Chu's body will be detoxified within a month."

Nangong Jianyu stood up in panic. He lowered his head and explained to Chu Hong the purpose of his visit. Although the scene just now was unintentional, it was not necessarily so in Chu Hong's eyes.

"Leave the pills and you can go."

Chu Hong's face did not look good, and his attitude and tone when he spoke to Nangong Jianyu were not as easy-going as before. He seemed to be a different person.

"Lord Chengfu, Miss Chu, Nangong Jianyu takes your leave!"

After leaving the pills, Nangong Jianyu frowned and left the city. He saw a kind of dissatisfaction in Chu Hong's eyes, which made Nangong Jianyu very concerned.

"Father, how could you do this to him?"

After Nangong Jianyu left, Chu Qingyan said to Chu Hong dissatisfied that she didn't understand what happened to her father and why she treated Nangong Jianyu with that attitude.

"After your poison is detoxified, don't meet that boy from the Nangong family again. I will send you to Qiyang."

Chu Hong wanted his daughter to marry into the royal family of the Great Zhou Dynasty, just like the Nangong family did in the past. Once he got involved with the royal family, the Chu family would become relatives of the emperor, and from then on, they could flourish in the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Grow into a big family.

"I won't go. If you want to force me to go to Qiyang City, I...I will die in front of you."

This is the second time Chu Hong said that he would send Chu Qingyan to Qiyang City. The last time he said this, Chu Qingyan started to pretend to be crazy. Now she met Nangong Jianyu. Although Nangong Jianyu saw through her pretending

Crazy, but she also fell in love with Nangong Jianyu, so she was willing to change back to the normal Chu Qingyan.

"Yan'er, you have to understand the hard work of being a father. The Nangong family is very good, but isn't it just a Nangong family? Doesn't he still have to obey the emperor's orders? As long as you marry into the royal family, you will eventually become the emperor.

Queen, then it’s not you who has the final say in this world.”

Chu Hong tried hard to persuade Chu Hong, but Chu Qingyan stared at Chu Hong with tears in her eyes. She never thought, and she didn't know when, she would become a victim of power seeking in the eyes of her father.

"I hate you..."

It was the first time that Chu Qingyan said such words to Chu Hong. These words hurt her heart and made Chu Hong uncomfortable, but they could not change Chu Hong's mind. He still wanted to send Chu Qingyan to Qiyang Capital.

Looking at his sad daughter, Chu Hong just sighed. He did not change his mind. In his opinion, it was also to find a stable future for his daughter.

On the street, Nangong Jianyu was a little unhappy!

"What’s wrong with you?"

Qing Swordsman followed Nangong Jianyu and asked. After coming out of the city, he saw Nangong Jianyu lowering his head all the way. He wanted to ask Nangong Jianyu several times, but now he finally couldn't help it.

"It's okay, let's go back to the drug store to get you some medicine."

The two quickly returned to the medicine shop. After Nangong Jianyu got the medicine for Qing Swordsman, he rushed towards his third uncle's house. Qing Swordsman wanted to follow, but Nangong Jianyu refused.

When we arrived at the house, there were two rows of soldiers standing at the door. These soldiers were all from the Xuanwu Battalion. Each of them had a murderous aura about them. You could tell at a glance that they were soldiers who had experienced life and death on the battlefield.

"The soldiers of Xuanwu Camp are indeed not comparable to the city guards like Qingyunzhou."

These soldiers are the real warriors. They serve the court with their blood, defend the land under their feet with their bodies, and protect their families with their lives. Nangong Jianyu sincerely admires such soldiers.

"Stop, this is an important place and no one is allowed to enter."

As soon as Nangong Jianyu approached the house, he was stopped by soldiers. Just as he was about to announce his identity, Li Dahou took Qin Huan out. After seeing Nangong Jianyu, Qin Huan waved to the soldiers, and Nangong Jianyu entered.

The house.

"Where are the medicinal materials?"

Qin Huan first cared about the medicinal materials when they met. He wanted to chat with Nangong Jianyu for a few words, but seeing Nangong Jianyu's anxious look, he had to take him to inspect the medicinal materials first.

"Big Monkey, have you checked and accepted the medicinal materials?"

"Everything has been accepted. I'm about to go to Nangong's house to find a few people to sort the medicinal materials. There are too many categories of medicinal materials sent this time."

As soon as Nangong Jianyu finished asking, Liu Dahou happily talked about this batch of medicinal materials. It could be seen from his expression that the medicinal materials sent by Xuanwu Camp this time were definitely not bad.

"I'll go take a look again."

Although he trusted Liu Dahou, Nangong Jianyu still wanted to see the medicinal materials in person. He had been interested in all kinds of medicinal materials since he was a child. When he was in Yangmingshan, his greatest pleasure every day was to search for medicinal materials all over the mountains and plains, but the old man always

Don't let him pick it.

Entering the house, Nangong Jianyu followed the scent of the medicine and went there. Qin Huan was still laughing at Nangong Jianyu's sensitive nose, but Liu Dahou glanced at Qin Huan as if he wanted to see an idiot.

"Even a fool can smell such a strong medicinal smell. No, General Qin, even if you want to praise others, you have to be more subtle. Do you think it is appropriate to praise so straightforwardly?"

In the past, how would Liu Dahou have dared to talk to Qin Huan like this? After these few contacts, the relationship between the two has become particularly good, to the point where they even regretted meeting each other so late.

"Hey, brother Big Monkey, do you know what I like most about you? I just like your straightforward character. No one has ever chatted with me like this in Xuanwu Camp."

Not only was Qin Huan not angry with Liu Dahou, but he slapped Liu Dahou on the shoulder, as if knowing Liu Dahou was the thing he was most proud of.

"Haha, not bad...not bad...these medicinal materials are all old and good medicinal materials."

Looking at the carts full of medicinal materials, Nangong Jianyu was as excited as a child. He pressed his nose on the medicinal materials and inhaled the fragrance of the medicinal materials. When he saw Qin Huan coming over, he hugged Qin Huan excitedly.

"General Qin, these are all good medicinal materials, but don't your Xuanwu Camp still send people over to study?"

Nangong Jianyu was happy to see these carts of medicinal materials, but what worried him was that there were not enough manpower to prepare the pills. It was impossible for the three of him, Liu Dahou, and Xun'er to prepare the pills.

First of all, the selection and classification of these medicinal materials is a troublesome task. In addition, the medicinal materials need to be dried and ground into powder, which is a big job. Now that the business has been won, manpower has become a problem.

"Oh...yes...those people will be here in a few days."

Qin Ao had a condition at the beginning, which was to ask the doctors from Xuanwu Camp to come to Nangong Jianyu to learn how to prepare pills. Qin Huan was responsible for delivering the medicinal materials and did not take them with him.

"Let's do this, tell them not to come over. I can just go to Xuanwu Camp to call them regularly. They will be responsible for sorting the medicinal materials for us before they are delivered. You see... it's too messy."

Nangong Jianyu thought that there was nothing he could do about classifying them every time. The best way was to sort them and send them over. However, Qin Huan only shook his head after hearing what he said, saying that he could not make the decision in this matter.

"By the way, I have delivered the medicinal materials. I have something urgent to do, so I'm leaving!"

Qin Huan thought that Zhuque Camp would arrive at Qingyun Continent soon. The city government was bringing the Nangong family and some merchants to greet her at the city gate. As the deputy general of Xuanwu Camp, he should also go to greet her. After all, she was the eldest princess.

"Dahou, go to Nangong's house and find some people. These days you will be responsible for teaching some people to sort the medicinal materials, and some people to dry the medicinal materials. While the medicinal materials are drying, you can recruit more people to be responsible for the subsequent grinding.

"

Sorting medicinal materials is a delicate job, so Nangong Jianyu asked Dahou to choose as many maids as possible from the Nangong family, preferably those who are smarter. Those who dry the medicinal materials and grind them need to be stronger.

"You and Xun'er will stay at the drug store in the evening. I have to go back to Nangong's house and move Uncle Long's things to the backyard of the drug store tomorrow. Starting tomorrow, you and Xun'er will learn martial arts from Uncle Long."

After Nangong Jianyu finished speaking, he asked Liu Dahou to quickly go to Nangong's house to bring people over. There was no need to worry about the safety of these medicinal materials. Qin Huan said that the soldiers he brought would be responsible for the safety of the medicinal materials in this house from now on.

After Liu Dahou left, Nangong Jianyu began to count the medicinal materials alone. Since he was going to do business with Xuanwu Camp for a long time, he needed to keep a transparent account book to avoid anyone being confused when something happened.
