The Tian clan's council hall was originally an important place for the Tian clan. After the invited masters who made decisions left, groups of guards walked out from all corners and sealed off the hall.
A young man in colorful clothes walked out from behind Tian Meng, with an arrogant expression and a feminine face. He was holding an elephant bone jade fan in his hand. Thick calluses could be seen on the knuckles of his fingers that were exposed to the air.
Snapped.
He closed the half-opened fan blades and sat next to Tian Meng.
"Dad, what are you still thinking about?"
The young man in colorful clothes looked at Tian Meng with a solemn expression and asked lazily.
His hands were not idle either, he put the fan on the table and picked up the peanuts from the dried fruit dish beside him to eat.
"I'm wondering if it's worth offending Mrs. Lin like this."
Tian Meng looked at his helpless son beside him, feeling both proud and worried at the same time, and said softly.
"Is it worth it? It's definitely worth it!
Mr. Lin is just a bunch of bastards. The good times have only lasted for a few decades, and their stupid energy has not been worn away. They are a bunch of reckless men, with muscles but no brains. They are only suitable for making excuses for others. Normally, I would be very dissatisfied with this kind of people.
I like it because it is easy to control,
But now that they have offended someone they shouldn't have offended, they just show up at their door, who can blame them?"
The young man in colorful clothes smiled.
Seemingly seeing the hesitation on Tian Meng's face, he felt a little disdainful in his heart. He sighed secretly as people get older and become less courageous, but he still explained in a deep voice:
"Dad, you should continue to suffer the chaos.
As you know, great changes have taken place in Ningyang. The Jingyan Zuo envoy of Universal Sect turned out to be the rumored great master, and he reversed the situation of the war in one fell swoop. Originally, it had nothing to do with us, so we just need to make some conversation topics.
But Lin's side, I don't know where to provoke the Universal Cult. It seems that the cause and effect is not simple. Now that the secret medicine field of Kuwahara Mountain is born, even if there is a plague, it still attracts a lot of attention. I have news that the Universal Cult
There are people who come to teach,
How do you think we should handle it?"
Without waiting for Tian Meng's answer, the man in colorful clothes went to himself and said:
"The best way is to sell the Lin family at a good price.
Let them help us work in vain at Kuwahara Mountain first, let us use some of our residual energy, and finally hand it over to the Universal Religion, which will not only save a lot of expenses, but also gain access to a great master, and we will gain many benefits in one fell swoop."
"But Bo Song, have you ever thought about it. If this matter is exposed, if someone from the Lin family is too strong and breaks the jar, the situation will be ugly."
Tian Meng spoke out.
He is still a little worried. When he reaches middle age, he has become accustomed to thinking about the worst-case scenario in everything he does.
"This is a simple matter. I have already planned it. Don't worry, Dad.
I have secretly contacted the Universal Cult envoy who came this time, and agreed that all plans will only be carried out in the shadows. The simple-minded people of the Lin family will definitely not be able to find out.
Even if we take a step back, even if we find out, there is no evidence, what can we do? Can we reveal our identities and confront us? You know, Zhou Shengjun is waiting outside the city!
Once his identity is exposed, he will not only have to deal with the attack and killing by the Universal Cult, but also face the encirclement and suppression by Zhou Shengjun, where can he escape?"
The man in rich clothes smiled proudly.
"That's good. I hope Lin will be a heavyweight this time, so that we can negotiate terms with the Universal Sect and make it easier for us to profit from our trip to the secret place." Tian Meng thought for a moment and found nothing wrong.
He nodded.
"We have already used our methods to separate the Lin family from Huang Qiu'er and others into such a situation. That boy from the Lin family is not stupid, he will also call some powerful people over, don't worry."
Tian Bosong chuckled.
His tongue was a little dry as he spoke, and he picked up the tea cup and took a sip.
"In this case, you can give up according to your ideas. Your uncle and I will fully support you."
Tian Meng nodded with a pleased smile on his face.
At this time, there was a restaurant called Tianhuayuan on Guangyi Street.
Compared with most other restaurants in Qingfeng City that have long since closed, this gorgeously decorated restaurant is still open as usual.
Except for the powerful guards at the door with black veils on their faces, it was even the same as before.
It's so special, naturally, because of the confidence.
Tianhuayuan is not well-known, and even from its name, it looks a bit like a romantic place that advertises itself as a showman and a prostitute, but in fact it is a truly powerful large-scale restaurant chain that can be found throughout Huaizhou.
It has branches in almost every county in the state, and I heard that there is a big shot behind it who can make Huaizhou tremble if he really moves his feet.
Although this rumor is very ambiguous and there is no actual evidence to confirm it, its background is indeed shocking.
Qingfeng County today has implemented a ban on food supplies. Materials such as vegetables and meat are priced but not available. However, in Tianhuayuan, all kinds of dishes are still available. Except for some price increases, they are almost the same as in the past.
One can imagine how powerful it is.
A private room in the ceiling courtyard.
Xu Ruyi was holding a roll of unknown animal skin paper and reading.
In front of her was a compass as big as a palm.
The compass is made of jade, with fragments of gemstones inlaid on it. The hands are made of gold, and a black and white Taichi fish is engraved in the middle. It is something extraordinary at first glance.
"Miss, someone was taken away again outside. It seems that the plague has been recurring during this period."
Opposite Xu Ruyi, Xiaozhu, who was lying on the window sill, looked at a group of black-robed sergeants on the street below, escorting two thin men with red eyes as they walked into the distance, and sighed.
No longer busy watching, she also came down from the window sill, looked at Xu Ruyi who had made no movement, walked over with small steps, walked behind him, and rubbed her shoulders.
After several months, the master and servant have not changed much.
Xu Ruyi is still gentle and quiet, while Xiaozhu is more lively and active. However, after experiencing the chaos in Ningyang City of the Universal Sect, Xiaozhu is still much better than before, at least in terms of behavior, she has become more active.
He has become much more mature.
Originally, their original intention of coming here this time was to see where this strange epidemic came from.
After all, before setting off, it was said that the chaos in Ningyang City was about to be quelled, and the order issued by the county government was that before that, the Ningyang Xu family would do their best to find out what happened to the Qingfeng plague.
However, after everyone from the Xu family arrived, they conducted some investigations, read countless ancient books, and conducted many experiments, but still found nothing. At most, they could suppress the disease a little and treat the symptoms but not the root cause. No matter how much they did, nothing could be done.
But just as they were unable to do anything, drastic changes occurred in Ningyang. When they were about to leave, the Kuwahara Mountain Secret Land appeared, and they stayed temporarily, continuing to study the plague while waiting for the medicine field to open.
"This plague is a bit unusual. It looks like fever and cough, which are almost the same as previous plagues. However, actual research shows that the pathology is completely opposite to the traditional plague where 'warm evil is affected, first affecting the lungs, and then traveling backwards to the pericardium.'"
Xu Ruyi felt the warm breath coming from her neck, turned her head, saw Xiaozhu looking at the animal skin roll curiously, and couldn't help but explain softly.
Speaking of this, she couldn't help but frown slightly.
She has been smart since she was a child. She can read at the age of one. She even has a photographic memory and understands the meaning of literature. She thinks that the pharmacological knowledge is in the Xu family. No, even in the entire Huaizhou, she is considered to be the richest group of people. Otherwise, she would not be able to read.
He will be entrusted with the important task of being sent to Qingfeng as the second batch of pharmacists to completely eliminate this plague.
But after arriving, no matter whether she analyzed the development of the plague or the path of the disease, she could still only get a few unparalleled rules.
For example, the patients are all old people or young children, and those with weak constitutions are most susceptible to infection. (This is true for almost all epidemic diseases, and it is almost useless.)
For example, the path of the disease, it is only confirmed that the diseased person can infect others through biting his or her teeth. (Others, such as common breathing methods, have also not been confirmed clearly)
For another example, after the disease occurs, the patient will completely lose consciousness, and at the same time his strength will become abnormally strong. (This is almost the first symptom in the medicine book.)
