Rong Wanqing looked at the order from General Zuo in her hand, not knowing whether she should leave or not, so she could only wait where she was.

I don’t know how much time had passed, until Rong Wanqing was already feeling drowsy.

"Bang!" A muffled sound came from inside the door.

Then General Zuo roared angrily, "Useless trash! The transport team of the Western Pharmacy passed through Hangu Pass in front of you, and you said you had traces of Ji and lost him? Cough cough cough..."

He started coughing violently, and every time the coughing subsided, he would cough again, as if he couldn't stop.

"General! Use the medicine first. The general has instructed..."

"Ahem, no, I still..."

"General, a Western medicine pharmacy has opened in the outer city. The Western medicine they sell includes a special medicine for tuberculosis..."

"Get out! Get out of here! Cough cough cough..."

Rong Wanqing and the clerk looked at each other, thinking that this was not what they should hear, and tactfully left quietly. At this moment, the door of General Zuo's office suddenly opened, causing the two to subconsciously look at the situation inside the office.

The Left General wearing a golden belt was kneeling on the ground, coughing miserably. On the ground were two clerks from the Si Sui Tai who were kneeling with their foreheads touching the ground. The Si Sui Tai's assistant minister Lin Guangmei was standing in the corner of the room with his head lowered.

A box of western medicine with a pharmacy label was knocked to the ground.

The ground was covered with white papers written in regular script and cursive script, stained with shocking blood-red exudate and mucus.

General Zuo's cough became louder and louder, and the rhythm became disordered.

Both the Left General Fu Tingzhao and the Great General Fu Qianming suffered from pulmonary tuberculosis, an incurable disease.

Tuberculosis was a terminal illness in the Great Yan, and was once considered a "fatal disease" with no specific treatment in foreign countries. However, in 1044 of the Terran calendar, Western countries discovered a specific drug for treating tuberculosis, streptomycin.

The emergence of streptomycin changed people's understanding and treatment of tuberculosis. The discovery of streptomycin was a milestone in the treatment of tuberculosis, and it also greatly encouraged the confidence of various countries in researching antibiotics.

By the time Yuan Congqian bought a large amount of Western medicine from Ukraine, in less than ten years, they had discovered five antibiotics: chloramphenicol, oxytetracycline, nystatin, and erythromycin, and the Western chemical and pharmaceutical industries were booming unprecedentedly.

This kind of prosperity does not belong to Yan State, nor to Fu Tingzhao who refuses Western medicine.

Rong Wanqing and the clerk quickly lowered their heads and pretended not to see it.

Fu Tingzhao coughed for a long time before he stopped and waved his hand to let others leave.

Chapter 69: The Taste of Evil

The abandoned disaster area of ​​Hangu Pass and the crystal stronghold.

The sky is clear, it is a rare sunny day in the capital.

A group of celestial masters wearing different celestial master uniforms were holding instruments and slowly moving towards the village. Two celestial masters from Bai Zao Mansion, whose uniforms were as black as lacquer, walked at the end, with a golden seal with "Tian Ji Pavilion" written on it hanging on their waists, their eyes slightly narrowed.

What was surprising was that the two Tianji Pavilion Heavenly Masters were all following behind a blonde girl, like apprentices.

The blonde girl had round dragon horns on her head, eyes that shone like sparkling gold, white hair between her brows that shone like the red sun, and the ends of her hair formed feather-like wings exactly the same as Yuan Congqian's, except that they spread out to the sides more ostentatiously, like the wings of a divine bird.

"Damn it! The evil demons have even reached the vicinity of the capital! You are so capable."

She glanced in the direction of the village, made a "tut" sound, and kicked the two Taoist priests to the ground.

The Taoist priest got up from the ground timidly and did not dare to respond.

The blonde girl's eyes were like knives as she scanned the two distinguished Heavenly Masters. "Tell me, what happened? Did a demon sneak into Bai Zao, or did one of you fail to properly handle the bodies in Dahuang City and let the things in?"

"Master, this matter... still needs to be investigated. You are the only one who sensed the aura of the evil heretics, and the huge Tianshi Mansion was not aware of it. I'm afraid you can't blame them..."

The Heavenly Master of the Tianji Pavilion wiped his sweat and spoke so quietly that it was inaudible.

"You two are saying that there is something wrong with me?"

"I dare not... But if the instrument and the Heavenly Master are both contaminated by filth and fail to detect the problem, I am afraid there will be no Heavenly Master available in the capital. Master has been fighting for a long time, and I am afraid there will be times when he makes a wrong judgment..."

"Ha." The blonde girl laughed, tiptoed the ground, and blended into the team of detecting masters in front.

They received an order from the Heavenly Master of the Tianji Pavilion this morning to come to Hangu Pass to detect the traces of evil spirits, and they even wrote a suicide note before coming.

However, along the way, the index on the instrument did not change at all.

Even if the evil spirits had contaminated the instrument, it would still make the instrument look different to different people. They repeatedly compared and confirmed with their colleagues, and even used a camera to take photos of the instrument, and there was no abnormality anywhere.

A celestial master suddenly pointed to a place and said, "Look there."

There was a high ground with crossbow arrows buried on the ground.

The crossbow arrows took on a strange red color, and the shadows were pitch black. As more and more people focused their attention on this, the sun, which was located in the middle of the sky, turned into black mist, like yellow sand, and disappeared in the air.

Only a few crossbow arrows in the shadow of the Originium crystals were still able to maintain their original state.

"Filthy thing!"

When the Taoist priest saw the strange scene, he immediately became alert and put on protective gear.

A Taoist priest held the instrument and grabbed the black crossbow arrow with his protective hands.

"and many more."

A voice stopped his movements.

The blonde girl appeared beside him and slapped him to the ground:

"Who is your teacher?"

"I..." The Taoist priest was a little dazed after being suddenly slapped by the girl.

Even if his operation was not standard, it shouldn't be the apprentice of the Heavenly Master who should teach him a lesson, right? Do you know how much damage a slap can cause to someone?

"Who told you that you can touch these filthy things with your hands?"

"But, but, there is nothing wrong with the instrument. Instead, it is an instrument of Originium technology..."

"Bullshit, look carefully with your eyes, whose Originium skills are like this? Is there anyone on earth who is born to be an evil demon, born to be suitable to join the Tianji Pavilion and guard the northern border?"

The celestial masters shook their heads and showed the instruments in their hands, but none of them had any readings.

She slapped the Heavenly Master back to the team, looked at the crossbow carefully, and snorted coldly:

"The evil heretic is a trickster."

The black color on the crossbow arrow was not the evil pollution she imagined, but a layer of crystal film made of fine Originium particles. Under the resonance of the Originium particles, the crossbow arrow was already fragile and could disintegrate into Originium dust at any time.

This is ridiculous.

The harm of evil spirits is that they can take away people's minds. Once they are slightly confused, there is no medicine to save them. Many people are buried in the north, and most of them were killed by their fellow soldiers. Few of them live to a ripe old age, and their minds are often contaminated by filth, and they cannot speak for the rest of their lives. Their bodies are broken and their bones are exposed, so old friends cannot recognize them.

It would be great if the demons were really Originium skills.

"Can you find other crossbow arrows?"

The blonde girl stood up and asked.

"Crossbow? What crossbow? The village here was wiped out last night. Didn't we go to Hangu Pass to take this opportunity to collect data from the disaster area?" The Taoist priest who was kicked down by her was confused.

"What did you say?!" the blonde girl yelled.

The surrounding celestial masters seemed to have just woken up from their dream and surrounded her:

"Hey, what are you yelling about? You haven't graduated yet, so why did you come to the disaster area? It's very dangerous here."

"Yes, the activity of Originium in this area has increased again, and the disaster area needs to be drawn a little wider."

"Little sister, who brought you here for internship? You're amazing! Now the agricultural master is collecting soil with Originium pollution level over 75%. Do you want to apply for my..."

The Tianshi of Tianji Pavilion came forward, pulled the blonde girl out of the crowd, and whispered, "Master, when did you return to Baizao? Why didn't you tell us?"

"You, you..."

How could the blonde girl not know that it was the evil demon that tampered with her cognition.

Objects similar to the evil demons and filth did appear, but only the blonde girl felt that it was unusual. This was based on her intuition from years of fighting against the evil demons, rather than the judgment of scientific instruments.

When she came in the morning, she felt that there were traces of evil spirits in the direction of Hangu Pass, so she hurriedly called the Heavenly Master to send people to investigate. Although the Heavenly Master did not find any data, he still sent this team. After another shock, the Heavenly Masters around her no longer remembered seeing crossbows, and even did not know the purpose of coming to Hangu Pass!

Clearly, the Heavenly Masters had just brought instruments to detect evil spirits to investigate Hangu Pass. After knowing that there were evil spirits and filth in Hangu Pass, so many Heavenly Masters, even the experienced Heavenly Masters of Tianji Pavilion, had their cognition tampered with.

How could there be such a powerful evil demon in the capital?

"No, if it is really an evil demon, the capital would have already fallen into its territory. It would be useless to send all the Heavenly Masters of Da Yan to attack an evil demon of this level, so how could we have a chance to send out a team of Heavenly Masters?"

The blonde girl pondered in her heart.

"These Heavenly Masters don't look abnormal, and there are no other signs... This can only mean that the suspected evil demons here have the ability to precisely pollute, so precise that it can be called magic..."

Is it true that some people's Originium skills are the ability to control evil spirits?

is it possible?

The blonde girl reacted and asked quickly, "Who eliminated the bandits in the village?"

"The morning report seems to say... the International Commercial Bank and the Longmen Chen family."

Chapter 70 You've Got the Wrong Person

The ancients said: There is nothing to do today, so just play music and listen to songs.

Yuan Congqian came to Chen's house and distributed several glasses of fruit drinks mixed with sugar water.

Chen Zhijun pointed at the drink and introduced:

"I heard that Mr. Yuan intends to use the factory of the first chemical platform to build a beverage factory. Although I am not talented, I have been researching and developing beverages for two years. There are three types of beverages: apple, sour berry, and tomato. Mr. Yuan can taste them."

Who says fruit-flavored drinks aren’t medicine?

Beverages are an option that can quickly monetize chemical platforms and has low technological content.

Yuan Congqian pointed to the cup of Ringo fruit drink and said, "Ringo is the best."

The apple drink was sweet and sour, while the tomato and sour berry drinks were too fruity and tasted very strange. After being in Terra for so long, he finally had a sip of soda that tasted similar to that in his previous life, but there was still a difference in sweetness.

From Dayan’s concept of desserts, “the best desserts should not taste sweet”, we can see that Dayan people do not like pure sugar water that is too sweet, so the beverages developed by Chen are naturally not sweet enough.

"No, it's not sweet enough."

"Isn't that enough? Even if Sakota comes, he'll still say sweet!"

"Not enough. Not enough at all. Do you know what a brown bear holding a honey pot is?"

"I think you have a big misunderstanding. The so-called animal affinity does not mean that the habits are really similar..."

The two had a friendly discussion about the taste and sweetness of the drink.

Several new trial plans such as tea-flavored drinks and beer drinks have been added. Chen Zhijun said that he will contact the Tianshi research team in Dahuang City who is short of funds to help with research. He has been interested in the multi-grain wine in Dahuang City for a long time.

"Yuan Jun."

Chen Zhijun pushed all the empty drink cups aside.

His tone became serious, he stood up, bowed to Yuan Congqian and said, "I have roughly understood the matter of the Fu brothers. I have no place to work in the capital, and I can only live like an ant in a western medicine store! I dare to ask Mr. Yuan to take me in!"

To put it in a more vulgar way, this is a pledge of allegiance.

The solemnity involved cannot be compared to breaking a crutch.

"Today, the court rewarded Chen's contribution to suppressing bandits at Hangu Pass. They granted me documents, silk and brocade, and the honorary title of Yulin Guard, and granted imperial edicts to my mother and aunt. Chen's contribution was minimal, and it was only thanks to Lord Yuan's judgment that our insignificant names appeared on the emperor's edict."

"A drop of water should be repaid with a spring of water. Moreover, my husband specifically designated the International Commercial Bank as the selected bank for large-scale transactions between the two countries. If Yuan Jun has any instructions, Chen will obey them even at the cost of his life!"

The Chen family has some strength in Longmen, but what is Longmen? Only by changing the place name before the Longmen Chen family to Baizao can it be considered prominent! Only by letting the next generation of the family head Chen Zhijun have a military rank of the third rank or above, can the Chen family be called a powerful family!

But even someone like Li Cunshan who had reached the end of his rope had to prepare a way out for himself. If the emperor raised a meat-cleaving knife and swung it at him, not only could he not resist, but he would also have to thank the emperor for his grace and offer up his property.

Yuan Congqian is the tough guy sent from heaven to the Chen family.

He smiled and said, "I am now alone. I am called a relative by marriage, but in reality I am just a pawn in the hands of the real dragon. I don't even know whether the Western medicine store I planned can be settled. Why did the Chen family bet on me so confidently?"

"Mr. Yuan appears arrogant on the surface, but he is actually humble in his heart. Fu Qianming appears humble on the surface, but he is actually arrogant in his heart. And Fu Tingzhao is a person who does not even try to hide his domineering nature. I have never heard of people like them winning!"

"Okay. From now on, we'll share the happiness together."

Yuan Congqian patted Chen Zhijun on the shoulder.

In fact, since he had a favorable opinion of Chen, it was more in line with political interests to let Empress Yuan's daughter Yan Zongyao marry Chen Zhijun, and the benefits were self-evident. But in doing this, he was no different from Wei Laoer.

Chen Zhijun bowed twice to Yuan Congqian again.

Then he talked about a person that the two of them had not talked about before:

"Mr. Yuan, I don't want to hide anything from you. Zuo Xuanliao is my good friend. He entered the Imperial College a year after me. Because of his talent, he was the best among the military candidates in 1052 and was recruited by the Taiwei Mansion..."
