Chapter 117 Silver 2 Missing Fear
Chapter 117 Silver 2 Missing Fear
The moon secretly climbed higher and higher, and the moonlight sprinkled on the earth.
Chu Ci looked at the rope on the edge of the cliff nervously, afraid that this thing would really fail.
The medicinal materials are already in short supply, and if we really fail, the medicinal materials will be even more scarce.
She finally understood how Cang Mo felt when he was waiting for her on the edge of the cliff last time. It was really too torturous.
Prince Rui noticed Chu Ci's nervousness and held Chu Ci's hand. "Don't be nervous. If it succeeds, that's even better. If it doesn't, that's okay. We'll find a way."
Chu Ci was just feeling touched when Shangguan Xuan sizzled beside him, "I was a little hungry when I came here, but you guys fed me so much dog food that I can't even drink water."
The tips of Chu Ci's ears were slightly red, and Cang Mo glared at him directly, "If you have nothing to do, just stand aside and watch."
Time passed slowly, and just when Chu Ci was about to give up, the rope moved.
Chu Ci pointed at the rope in surprise, "Did it move just now?"
Cang Mo looked at the rope and saw that it was indeed moving, and the movement was getting bigger and bigger.
Lin Feng hurried over and pulled up the rope, wanting to see if there was anything on it.
He slowly lifted it up, and surprise instantly flooded his body, "Master, Princess, hurry, there is something, there really is something."
Prince Rui grabbed Chu Ci's hand and ran over to try it out. When he confirmed that there was something, joy instantly spread across his face and the tense atmosphere disappeared instantly.
Shangguan Xuan instructed the servant beside him to put down all the baskets in his hands. This would be faster, after all, time was still tight for them.
When the first basket of herbs came up, Chu Ci pointed to the empty space next to him and said, "Pour out all the herbs. I want to check them to see if they can be used."
Shangguan Xuan and Cang Mo both stopped what they were doing and looked at Chu Ci. "What do you mean? Suspicion?"
Chu Ci nodded, "I suffered several losses from them last time. Fortunately, I had a few backup plans, otherwise I might not be able to come back."
"Them? How many of them are there?"
Chu Ci shook his head. "I promised them not to tell anyone. At the same time, there are many strange things going on in there. For now, you can't get in, so don't ask too much."
Cang Mo and Shangguan Xuan looked at each other, and both of their dark eyes deepened a little.
They poured out all the herbs. Chu Ci squatted down, spread out the herbs, and checked them all. There was nothing extra that shouldn't be there.
After checking all the herbs, Chu Ci looked at Lin Feng beside him and said, "It's okay. You can take them all away and take them to Huichun Hall to have them sorted."
Everyone's hearts were finally at ease. This time, they could hold on a little longer.
Shangguan Xuan clutched his chest. "Oh my dear, you almost scared me to death. Luckily, the herbs didn't freeze my hands and feet. But how long can we hold on now?"
Chu Ci roughly calculated in his mind, thinking that with tens of thousands of people, this amount of herbs would not be able to solve the problem at all, "I can't hold out for more than a few days."
The smiles on everyone's faces collapsed almost instantly.
They all looked at Chu Ci with hope. If she could get herbs in a place like this, what about the rest? Was there still hope?
Chu Ci looked at Cang Mo, "If we buy herbs from other places and transport them here, how long will it take?"
Cang Mo calculated, "Even if we transport it day and night, it will still take about ten days. But I've had people check all the places around here, and they've all been bought up."
"Is it possible that there is collusion?" Chu Ci thought to himself, such a large sum of money, it is impossible for ordinary people to come up with so much money.
Cang Mo nodded, "I have this suspicion, but I haven't found out yet, and there is no evidence."
Chu Ci nodded, "Okay, let's go back first and have a good rest. We have a tough battle tomorrow. Whether we can pass this level or not depends on tomorrow."
Everyone looked at each other and then at Chu Ci. What big move would be made tomorrow?
Cang Mo looked at Chu Ci with a deeper look in his eyes. It seemed that tonight would be another sleepless night.
The next morning, the sun was already high in the sky.
Chunhua held up a pure white dress and said, "Master, how about wearing this today?"
Chu Ci took a look and shook her head. "No, take out the bright red one with the gold thread outline and the licorice embroidered on the hem. I want to wear this today to show off my aura."
Chunhua took out the skirt, and as soon as Chu Ci put it on, her whole aura changed instantly, like a flower on a high mountain, unattainable.
Chunhua looked at her master's skirt and nodded repeatedly, "My master looks good in anything she wears. But, master, other people's skirts are embroidered with flowers and animals, why are yours embroidered with herbs?"
Chu Ci bent down, wiped the licorice on the hem of her skirt, and smiled slightly. "This is licorice, known as the king of Chinese medicine. It is widely used in medicine. It is recorded in Shennong's Classic of Materia Medica. There was once a saying that no prescription can be made without herbs, and nine out of ten prescriptions contain herbs."
"So licorice is so important! It's the king of Chinese medicine. It sounds so impressive."
After Chu Ci finished dressing up, she went straight to Huichun Hall with her maid.
As soon as they left, Cang Mo appeared in Chu Ci's yard, "The King of Chinese Medicine? It seems that his little fox is really not simple."
When Chu Ci arrived at Huichun Hall, the entrance was already full of carriages. All of the carriages were decorated very luxuriously, with gold and jade inlaid all over the carriages, and even the horse stools were made of huanghuali.
It's almost like it says on it, I have plenty of money, come and rob me.
Chu Ci turned around and looked at his carriage. To be honest, if it was thrown on the street, only the poor people would be willing to pick it up. Those who really had some money at home might not pick it up.
Chu Ci coughed awkwardly, "Chunhua, we should save this money and spend it. Shouldn't we buy a new one? Look at it, there are big holes all over it. I'm worried that if it runs too fast, it will fall out of the holes."
Chunhua laughed sheepishly, "I understand, Master. I'll buy you a more normal one. This one is a bit worn out. I just thought I'd use the one from the mansion if I could, so I could save a bit."
Chu Ci shook his head. The main reason for this fear of lack of money is lack of money. It seems that he needs to earn more money to make up for it a little.
As soon as Chu Ci stepped into Huichun Hall, the owner of Huichun Hall came to greet her. He stood on Chu Ci's right and nodded to the three maids, "Miss, everyone is here and is on the third floor."
Chu Ci took them directly to the third floor. The shopkeeper reported the situation and led the way.
When they arrived at the private room, the shopkeeper pushed the door open with a creak. The little medicine boys standing on both sides all lowered their heads. The people in the room also stood up when they heard the sound of the door opening.
They saw the licorice on the hem of her skirt and greeted her, "Miss Chu."
