If you keep making noise, I won’t stand it anymore!

The sound of hurried footsteps interrupted the three gentlemen who were arguing.

"Master Ou, the tribe behind the mountain sent someone to look for us with a token."

Tribe? Inside the house, the three gentlemen, Master Ou, and Manager Liu Xuanyi looked at each other in bewilderment. They looked up and saw that the sky outside was already pitch black, feeling somewhat unbelievable.

Why are you coming here at this time? Could something have happened?

"Quick, quick, please ask him to come in." Doctor Wang responded urgently.

Along with the newcomers came Feng Yishuang who had rushed back from the military camp.

Summer is approaching, and the soldiers of Liuzhou Prefecture not only need daily training to clear rivers, reinforce houses, and water crops, but sometimes they even help villagers weed and catch insects.

The rule set by Meixiang was fully implemented: soldiers in wartime and civilians in peacetime.

Sitting down in the empty seat at the table, Feng Yishuang looked at the visitor and frowned. If he was not mistaken, the visitor should be from the tribe on the other side of the mountain.

They had encountered this situation once or twice before. Due to Meixiang's instructions before she left, when they sent people to ask for help, as long as it did not involve the Liuzhou Prefecture, most of the time they would offer appropriate help after discussing it.

The chief elder over there is also a wonderful person. He always sends the same one or two people each time, so they are familiar with each other without any tokens.

However, the visitor still followed the rules and handed over the saint's token.

"I wonder what happened when Hu Er came to visit at night?" Feng Yishuang took the token handed over by Doctor Wang's little medicine boy, looked at the visitor who was sweating profusely, and asked in a deep voice.

Recently, both sides have been busy with spring planting and welcoming the arrival of summer, and there has been peace and tranquility for several days. His sudden visit tonight should not be a good thing.

Sure enough, the next time the visitor opened his mouth, everyone in the room broke into a cold sweat.

He reached out to take the tea bowl handed to him by the little medicine boy, and after drinking three or two gulps, Hu Er finally recovered a little.

He reached out and took off the cloth bag that was tightly wrapped around his chest, revealing the box that Nanny Zhang had found inside.

"Recently, the third elder suddenly felt something was wrong. After the entire tribe investigated overnight, it was discovered that more than ten years ago, the eldest prince of the Lion Tribe took advantage of the chaos to steal a bottle of powdered medicine that can cause hallucinations, insanity, and even be contagious."

Hearing this, everyone in the room, except Feng Yishuang who had just arrived, looked at the letter in the middle of the table.

They had just received a letter from Chen San in the capital today. Has the tribe already sensed it? Isn't this a bit too scary? The expressions of several people couldn't help but become a little solemn.

Hu Er is quite capable of reading people's expressions, which is one of the reasons why the tiger chief recommended him to be the messenger.

Seeing that everyone's faces had changed, although they didn't quite understand the reason, they hurriedly explained: "Because the Saint accepted the tribe's inheritance, the Saint's Palace established contact."

"So this is about the Saint and the tribe. As the third elder of the previous Saint, although my abilities have gradually faded due to the emergence of the new generation of Saints, I can still sense something."

So that's how it is. Doctor Wang and the others breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the third elder could not predict everything, otherwise how could anything in the world escape the eyes and ears of the tribe?

As if he didn't notice the relaxed expressions on everyone's faces, Hu Er continued, "The great elder, who felt something was wrong, took his men directly to the tribe's Shenxing Division and tried every possible means. He finally found out that the bottle of medicine powder was brought into Haoyue Capital by someone arranged by the great prince more than ten years ago."

As he spoke, he handed the box in his arms to the little medicine boy with both hands, "This is what I got from the eldest prince's former personal nanny. Four of the herbs are used to make the powder in the bottle, and the other one is an indispensable ingredient in the antidote."

"There are no more detailed records about the exact formula and antidote among the Lion Clan and the tribe."

"Before Hu Er set out, the Great Elder had already mobilized all the tribes to collect these five herbs. Someone will be arranged to deliver them later tonight. The Great Elder asked Master Ou if he could send someone to escort them to the capital as fast as possible and hand them over to the Saint Girl?"

"We also uncovered other important cases this time. The Great Elder will personally lead people to the capital early this morning."

After finishing in one breath all the instructions given by the clan leader and the great elder before leaving, Hu Er finally breathed a sigh of relief, feeling somewhat exhausted.

Feng Yishuang, who had already read the contents of the letter on the table, interrupted and said, "Don't worry about that. I will immediately arrange for someone to accompany you for protection. In addition, the post station will also arrange for the fast horses to pick you up along the way."

He stood up and said to Doctor Wang and the others, "I will go back to the barracks to select my entourage. Master Ou, please prepare the official documents for me."

"Okay, don't worry about that."

"I will leave for Luojia Village immediately to see how many of these herbs I can collect there. I will send them all away tonight. Doctor Shi will take the rest with the medical school and work with Old Man Luo to send them to the capital as soon as possible."

"Early tomorrow morning, the lonely old man and I will go to the capital with the Great Elder and his party. I will always feel uneasy if I don't go and see it with my own eyes. The affairs of Liuzhou Prefecture will be handed over to you."

His eyes swept over Master Ou, Mr. Shi, Manager Liu, and Feng Yishuang who was about to go out.

Everyone looked serious and started to act separately.

That night, the entire tribe and half of Liuzhou Prefecture's population were mobilized, some looking for grass and herbs, some arranging men and horses.

The second elder and two other young men were sent off to rest early. They were the leaders of this thousand-mile raid and the escorts of the first batch of medicinal materials.

When people are busy, they always feel that time passes quickly.

Three and a half hours later, in the silent night sky, the sound of horse hooves could be heard from afar. Doctor Wang and his companions, who had been waiting outside the Liu residence, finally welcomed the tribesmen.

The leader was the second elder of the tribe.

"Old man, are you going there in person?" Doctor Wang asked his old friend in surprise.

Ever since the Second Elder followed Chen San's team into the mountains to catch wild boars, rabbits and other wild animals, he has fallen in love with the back mountain more and more.

He would often take people into the back mountains to catch some animals that were easy to raise and bring them down the mountain to give to people in the tribe to breed.

Sometimes, when he dug up rare herbs or game, he would send them to Liu's house. After a few visits, he became good friends with Doctor Wang and others.

Seeing him now, exhausted and about to lead the team to the capital, although the Second Elder was a few years younger than himself, the journey was long and time was tight, so it would probably be difficult for him to have a chance to have a good rest along the way.

I couldn't help but start to worry about my good friend.

"We can't help it. No one will feel at ease unless these herbs are handed over to the Saint in person. Don't worry, I'm in good health." The second elder took the box from Doctor Wang that Hu Er had sent last night, and smiled as he comforted his friend in a low voice.

The five herbs in this box are treasures. After years of evolution, they need to be carefully compared and confirmed.
