Chapter 385: There are Jiamu and Shennong in the South
Yao Yun did not let the soldiers drive the merchants out of the country, but he also did not let the merchants enter the city. Instead, he went out of the city gate to see what was going on.
The soldiers of the Xi Kingdom beside him were worried that the poison would infect Yao Yun, so they hesitated for a while, hesitating and hesitating to speak.
Yao Yun understood their thoughts and the eagerness of these soldiers to protect their master, so naturally he would not blame him and said calmly: "Gu Nai is a Qi Refiner. Unless the Fei Beast comes to administer the poison in person, ordinary poisons cannot hurt Gu at all!
"
After hearing this, the soldier stepped forward to lead the way.
After leaving Xidu, there are newly built camps everywhere in the grassy open spaces on the outskirts of the city. People who are suspected of being infected with the poison live in huts, arranged in rows and columns, in an orderly manner.
Not far away, Yao Yun and his party arrived at their destination. They saw a group of Xidu soldiers intercepting a caravan on the road. When they saw Yao Yun approaching, the soldiers saluted one after another.
The leader of the caravan, Konoha, did not expect to be personally received by the King of Xi Country. He was a little flattered for a moment, so he led everyone in the caravan to kneel down and salute.
"The little citizen Konoha has met the king."
Yao Yun waved his hand and got straight to the point: "Which reward order do you want to reveal? As long as you can bring out the reward, the reward will not be less!"
"King Xi's promise of a thousand pieces of gold will be passed down to the Southern Wilderness, and the common people will naturally trust you." Konoha apologized flatteringly, and he, who was astute in accidents, naturally understood that it was a period of plague and there would be many inconveniences, so he did not try to get too close, but clapped his hands to let his subordinates
Take out the baby.
While he was talking, the caravan man came over carrying a wooden box.
When the lid was opened, a slight chill came out of the wooden box. It was a scene of ice cubes melting rapidly under high temperatures. In the ice water was verdant green, and the layers of leaves were as frozen as jasper.
In a wooden box.
The ice cubes in this wooden box were formed by the Qi Refiner's use of water energy. They are no different from the refrigerators of later generations. However, if you want to keep them frozen at all times, you must have a Qi Refiner master to freeze them from time to time.
This is the deformed microcosm of this mythical age. Powerful masters are omnipotent and have all kinds of magical abilities, but ordinary people can't do anything.
After seeing the wooden "refrigerator", Yao Yun did not show any surprise, but when he saw the leaves in the wooden refrigerator, he felt a sense of familiarity.
"This is..." Yao Yun almost blurted out.
"Your Majesty, I remember that you once offered a reward of a thousand taels of gold for a kind of rare heavenly material and earthly treasure tea. I was lucky enough to get the news about this thing from the depths of the wilderness. Do you think it is this thing?" Merchant Konoha Manchu
He looked at Yao Yun expectantly.
Sure enough, it was tea! Yao Yun was overjoyed. In his last life, he was born in the south and liked drinking tea. However, he did not see any tea leaves after traveling through time.
In the previous life, there was a legend that Shennong tasted hundreds of herbs, encountered seventy-two poisons every day, and drank tea to cure them. However, in this life, there is no such legend in the real world of mountain and sea myths. I asked the second elder Wu Tong several times but still could not find out what he wanted.
As a result, it is as if the legend of Shennong and tea does not exist at all.
But he suppressed it so much that he found out the clues of a high reward for the tea tree.
Unexpectedly, he was actually made to wait now.
Facts have proved that there are indeed tea trees in this world, and they really come from the south!
"There is Jiamu in the south, and its leaves have a real fragrance, which is called tea." Yao Yun sighed with emotion.
Merchant Konoha looked admiring: "Your Majesty is very knowledgeable, and the common people are so impressed. It is exactly according to your instructions that we found a large tea forest in the Southern Wilderness."
Yao Yun put his hand into the ice cube, and his fingertips were full of vitality, which broke when he touched it. Then he took out a piece of tea leaf, put it to his nose and smelled it.
Sure enough, it's that taste, the taste of tea.
So delicious!
It seems to be more fragrant than any other tea in the previous life, and you can still smell the faint scent of vitality. No wonder merchants call it a "treasure of heaven and earth", which is a good match.
Merchant Konoha glanced at Yao Yun with an uneasy look on his face: "Your Majesty, do you think this is tea?"
Yao Yun nodded: "This is indeed the tea tree I am looking for!"
After speaking, a burst of cheers erupted from the caravan.
Everyone in the caravan was dusty and in rags. They went through all kinds of difficulties and dangers in search of tea trees, and almost died in the wilderness and green forests countless times. Now that their hard work has paid off, everyone shed tears of excitement, even the wooden ones.
Ye is no exception.
"Your Majesty, where..."
Yao Yun knew what the other party wanted to ask, so he thought about it.
"Don't worry, I never break my promise. The reward order says I will give you one thousand taels of gold, not even a single coin is less, but..."
Hearing the word "but", Konoha's heart skipped a beat: "Your Majesty, it's nothing."
Yao Yun smiled: "Don't worry, you will not be short of gold, but now that the plague is rampant in the Southern Wilderness countries, I will not have time to worry about these trivial matters. I will give you five hundred taels of gold first, and wait for the plague
Go over there and lead the way to find the tea forest, and I will give you the remaining five hundred taels of gold!"
When Konoha heard this, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief: "Hey, Your Majesty, I understand, I understand."
Yao Yun nodded: "Nowadays, the world is in chaos and it is not safe outside. Instead of doing this, you might as well stay in Xiguo for the time being and wait until the storm passes!"
When Konoha arrived at the outskirts of Xidu, he was surprised by the orderliness of the refugee camp. He was astute and quickly realized that Xidu might be safer than other places, and he had long had the idea of taking refuge in Xidu.
When he heard King Xi's invitation, there was no reason for him to refuse.
"It all depends on the king's orders!"
...
After Yao Yun ordered his people to settle the merchants, he went to the witch temple with fresh frozen tea leaves to learn about the latest epidemic situation.
It happened that the second elder, Wu Tong, did not go out to the camp to consult the poisonous patients.
"Second Elder, how is the situation?"
The second elder, Wu Tong, was sitting and resting. His face was full of tiredness, which made Yao Yun feel distressed: "You should rest more, don't be tired."
The second elder Wu Tong waved his hand: "Your Majesty, it's okay for me to be old. Currently, there are more than a hundred patients infected with the poison in Xidu. Among them, Old Man has treated forty people, and the remaining more than sixty people are observing. Alas, the plague is too rapid, and I am alone.
Weak, hey, fortunately the king made proper arrangements and did not let the plague spread, otherwise the situation would be even worse!"
Yao Yun was also worried, but he said comfortingly: "Second Elder, we are still doing well. In many countries, poisonous plagues are rampant across the country at this time. The kings of various countries are all anxious and have trouble sleeping and eating."
A bitter smile appeared on the weak and tired old face of the second elder Wu Tong: "Yes, this time the Southern Wilderness Fei poison shocked the entire Xia. I heard that even the emperor, Emperor Mu, was alarmed and personally took action to suppress the plague beast Fei.
, and almost killed him, but failed, allowing Feiyuan to escape into the wilderness."
"So the source of the poison has been driven away, which is not a big piece of good news." Yao Yun sighed optimistically.
"Well, your Majesty, don't be too optimistic. Nowadays, poisonous countries in the southern wilderness have become a climate. If you are not careful, it will set off a prairie fire. We cannot relax our vigilance at all." The second elder Wu Tong shook his head and sighed. But at this moment, he
I saw the soldiers behind Yao Yun carrying some wooden boxes. There was a faint chill in the box, and I couldn't help but be surprised:
