Heirs of the Seven Swords of the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 824 The incident in Chen Di
  Gu Xun smiled when he heard this and said comfortingly, "There are so many good things that have the best of both worlds in the world. It is a blessing to have such an effect."

What is it that Nian Duan regrets?

In fact, it is a pity that even with such a tree, it cannot save a few more patients.

The branches and leaves of the hibiscus sacred tree are indeed very powerful, but their effect is far different from the mildness of the jade-leaf flower. It is much more overbearing and dangerous.

She was able to swallow the trial medicine directly because she was wasted and suffered serious losses. Now she relied solely on Gu Xun's true energy to survive, so she didn't have to worry about the overbearing and rudeness of the medicine's effect.

But for other patients, it is necessary to find ways to use auxiliary drugs to neutralize the power of the drug so that the patient can safely absorb and digest it.

Although I have only briefly tried it once, based on Nianduan's experience, I am afraid that ordinary medicinal materials cannot achieve this goal.

We still need rare medicinal materials that are expensive and have no market value.

In other words, 99% of people cannot afford it.

Nianduan is not a crazy doctor who is keen on incurable diseases. For her, treating more people is her most important pursuit.

Moreover, in this era where colds and fevers are fatal, it is difficult to say who is more deadly and dangerous, cancer or fever.

The importance of human lives cannot be calculated based on pure quantity. Similarly, patients should not be classified based on severity or difficulty.

Therefore, to Nianduan, the sacred hibiscus tree is just a special plant that makes people happy.

Well...for now, it's still her life-saving straw.

After a brief sigh, Gu Xun said to Nianduan, "You already understand the problem with this thing, so what we need to solve now is how to resolve the arrogant medicinal power in it so that the human body can absorb it freely."

"It will take a lot more than a leaf or two to completely cure your disease."

"My true energy can help you dissolve some of the medicine's power, but after all, there is an upper limit, and what you need is probably far beyond this upper limit."

Nian Duan nodded slightly. After trying the properties of the medicine, she basically knew all about it.

Gu Xun continued, "My previous research on it focused on Han Fei's congenital deficiencies. Your current situation is somewhat similar to his, but it is fundamentally different after all, so I basically have to start all over again."

"But the war between Qin and Chu is about to begin. I have some things that I have to deal with. I can only try my best to find time to help you, so you mainly have to rely on yourself."

"It doesn't matter, the help you gave me is enough." Nian Duan looked at Gu Xun gratefully and replied.

"Hmm..." Gu Xun nodded and reminded, "The vitality in these branches and leaves is lost far faster than normal medicinal materials. Basically, they will turn into ordinary branches and leaves that are completely ineffective within three to five days. They can only be sealed in an ice room. Only in this way can its effectiveness be prevented from being lost.”

“So you just have to take what you want.”

As he spoke, the ice cube he cut off for the second time melted, and he handed the sacred tree branches and leaves to Nian Duan.

"These should be enough for you these days. I will pick them up again in three days."

Nianduan frowned slightly, "It's so strange..."

She couldn't help but shook her head and sighed slightly.

Being so difficult to store... the use value of this thing is further reduced.

"Anyway, thank you very much."

Gu Xun waved his hand and said nonchalantly, "It's nothing. Anyway, go and study it first."

"I still have some things to deal with, so I'm going to leave now. If you need any medicinal materials, just go to the treasury and find them yourself."

"If the house doesn't have it or it's not enough, you can just ask me if I'm here. If I'm not here, you can ask Jingbao for my official order and go to Xianyang Gongtai Hospital to get it."

"Well..." Nianduan responded softly and nodded.

……………     Zhang Han bowed to Gu Xun with his hands folded, and said hello, "I will see you at last, sir."

Gu Xun waved his hand, signaling him not to deal with those useless things, and went straight to the point and asked, "How is it? Did Chen Di find anything?"

Gu Xun had previously specially asked Zhang Han to keep an eye on Lord Changping who was demoted to Chendi.

At present, the Qin Dynasty has begun to discuss the strategy of the war against Chu. Gu Xun felt that Lord Changping should also take action, so he called Zhang Han and planned to ask about the situation.

Facing Gu Xun's inquiry, Zhang Han hesitated for a moment and then replied:
  "My lord, at present... there is nothing unusual about Mr. Changping."

"The most noteworthy thing is that Lord Changwen made a request to the king and also went to Chendi."

It stands to reason that since Lord Changping, the leading figure among the Qin officials of the Chu clan, has been demoted from the center of the imperial court, Lord Changwen should take over the banner honestly and hold it for his brother for the time being.

After all, if both brothers leave the center of power, the power of the old Chu faction will definitely be greatly squeezed out by other factions.

But he still made a request to temporarily transfer Chen Di.

Of course, a mere piece of old land is not enough for the left and right prime ministers of Qin to govern it together.

Lord Changping was responsible for governing Chen Di and appeasing the people of old Chu, while Lord Changwen went there to prepare for the mobilization of the army.

No matter how many troops Qin finally decided to send, the most suitable route for sending troops was always the Chen land.

As for why Ying Zheng agreed... Just as Lord Changping was the most suitable candidate to appease the people of old Chu, Lord Changwen, who was born in the Chu Kingdom's official office, was the most suitable person to handle matters in this area where the capital of the old Chu Kingdom was located.

Ying Zheng has no reason to disagree. The worst thing is... just arrange a few more people to keep an eye on it.

Hearing this, Gu Xun narrowed his eyes and murmured, "Mr. Changwen is gone too?"

Zhang Han nodded, "I set off for Chendi two days ago."

"Well..." Gu Xun rubbed his chin and asked again, "Apart from that, is there nothing else wrong?"

Zhang Han frowned, and after thinking for a while, he slowly shook his head and said, "There is nothing obviously wrong."

"but……"

"But what?"

Zhang Han said uncertainly, "General, I feel like something is not right, but...according to the analysis of the information collected by the Shadow Guards, there is indeed no problem."

During this period of time, although Lord Changping did not appear much, his governance of Chendi has not fallen behind.

Generally speaking, under his governance, the Chen land was prosperous, the people were living a good life, everything about farming and mulberry farming was going well, there was a lot more business and trade, and there was basically no problem to be found.

In Zhang Han's opinion, if Mr. Changping has a problem, the most likely reason is that he met some people he shouldn't have met in private.

With his ability, it was not impossible to do such a small trick without telling the Shadow Guard.

But there is no sign that this situation exists, and you cannot assume that there is something wrong with him just because he is capable.

If the problem of wasting food due to choking is dealt with in this way, the top ministers of the Qin State will no longer be needed, and the government can be abandoned.

Moreover, it is difficult for such small actions to really harm Qin.

Reality is not a strategy game, where you can achieve results by just clicking on a strategy.

There are no soldiers, no generals, and no strong execution force. No matter how many people sit in a secret room and plot, they can only plan some trivial things.

At least, it must be a trivial matter for the upcoming battle between Qin and Chu, in which both sides will invest a total of no less than 400,000 troops.
