Chapter 988 Realgar
As soon as they walked out of Prince Yi’s Mansion, An Jing and Xiao Changyi turned on their horses and planned to go to the city gate to meet Gong Juechen, and then go to Nan Mirage together.
“Zhuqing.” Meng Lanqing called to Meng Zhuqing who was about to get on the horse, his beautiful eyebrows were full of complexity. This may be the last time he will meet his younger brother.
However, Meng Lanqing didn’t say anything hypocritical, just said: “Protect your father and wife well.”
Meng Zhuqing is not stupid, he knows what Meng Lanqing’s words have hidden meaning, but he is not hypocritical, but nodded: “Brother, don’t worry, I will.”
After he finished speaking, he also got on the horse and went to chase An Jing and Xiao Changyi with Qin Yi, Qin Er, Qin San and Qin Si.
An Jing and Xiao Changyi took the lead, Meng Zhuqing and the others followed, and the seven quickly came to the city gate on horseback.
Gong Juechen was already waiting there on a horse at the gate of the Imperial Capital City, and when he saw Jing Jing and them coming, he raised his voice: “On our way here, we have to buy some realgar, orpi, cinnabar, etc. These things are for epidemic prevention. Yes, when we put it on our body, although it can’t completely prevent us from contracting the plague, it can make us less likely to contract the plague than the average person.”
is an anti-epidemic thing, so An Jing and Xiao Changyi naturally agreed immediately.
It takes more than half a month to ride a horse normally from Imperial Capital City to Nan Micheng City, but An Jing and the others abruptly arrived in four days after a journey of more than half a month.
In these four days, they hardly had any rest.
Because the plague didn’t know how long it would last, and they didn’t know how long they would stay in Nan Mirage City. They were afraid that the food in Nan Mirage City would not be enough. They didn’t want everyone to starve to death before they died of the plague. The second Qin, the third Qin and the fourth went to Anji Rice Shop near Nan Mirage City to transport grain into Nan Mirage City.
Anji Rice Shops are almost spread over half of the territory of Xiyun, and it happens that several counties near Nanmicheng have Anji Rice Shops.
Originally, An Kee Rice Shop was used to store food to prevent future wars, but now it is just used for this.
An Jing discussed with Xiao Changyi and decided to transport all the grain from the five rice shops closest to Nan Mirage City into Nan Mirage City.
So, when they were about to get to Nanzhi, An Jing and the others separated from Meng Zhuqing. Meng Zhuqing and the others went to transport food, while An Jing and the others continued to ride into Nanzhi.
And when Meng Zhuqing and the others turned their horses around and planned to transport the grain, Gong Juechen spoke up and asked Meng Zhuqing to buy some medicines such as realgar dansha when he was transporting the grain, because he was afraid that there would not be enough.
On the way, in addition to realgar and other drugs, Gong Juechen also asked An Jing and the others to buy some small cloth bags, about the size of a purse, and these small cloth bags were already stuffed with realgar and other things, and Gong Juechen had let one person hang one on his chest. to avoid contracting the plague.
“Quiet, Changyi, the plague is rampant in Nan Mirage City, I’m afraid that just wearing this anti-epidemic medicine on my chest won’t work that much, so let’s all put some realgar powder on our faces, it should be more effective. .” Gong Juechen felt that in this way, the possibility of contracting the plague would be greatly reduced.
Quiet and Xiao Changyi have no opinion.
Gong Juechen said to Meng Zhuqing again: “Zhuzhu, when you transport food into Nan Mirage City, don’t forget to bring the Qin guards and the others to smear some realgar powder on your face. Remember that realgar powder cannot be imported, this is also the case. poisonous.”
“I know.” Meng Zhuqing nodded. Immediately, Meng Zhuqing took Qin Er and the others to the other direction.
