Moreover, a lot of the medicinal herbs nearby were probably depleted. After all, the soldiers in the military camp were not the only ones who contracted the epidemic disease.
“How much medicinal herbs do we have left in the army?” he immediately asked.
His question prompted the deputy generals to sigh.
“The two military physicians said that we have many common medicinal herbs—enough for 10,000 soldiers to consume—but…” Deputy General Sun looked at the other deputy generals and shook their heads in unison.
“General, we’re severely lacking in two of the medicinal herbs. I can’t even begin to describe how severe the lack is.” Another deputy general finished Deputy General Sun’s sentence.
The other deputy generals paled at his words.
“Is there a hot spring near the border? The Bipetalous Scarlet-Blue Flower grows easily near hot springs. Its medicinal properties are better too,” An Jiuyue interrupted.
The deputy generals looked at An Jiuyue and asked, “The Bipetalous Scarlet-Blue Flower? What’s that?”
The military physicians didn’t mention anything about this medicinal herb. Besides, this lady… Who is she?
They looked at their general at the same time. They had wanted to ask who she was for a long time.
“Jiuyue, you…”
An Jiuyue looked at Qian Jiyun seriously and lowered her voice, “I thought about it again and changed the prescription. I replaced the two medicinal herbs with the Bipetalous Scarlet-Blue Flower and Moon Whisper Grass.
“These two herbs are milder. Although they will require more time to cure the infected… they are also effective. There’s no harm trying them.”
The main reason for replacing the two medicinal herbs was to change the prescription. Although this change might not have much impact, she had at least changed it.
She would make up for the rest another time.
“Okay.” Qian Jiyun decided to use An Jiuyue’s new prescription immediately.
“Sun Luan, you’ll be in charge of taking your men to find the Bipetalous Scarlet-Blue Flower. There are two hot springs on Luoyan Mountain. There should be some there.”
“Uh…” Deputy General Sun was shocked by his instructions.
Is this lady that important to General? She made him change the prescription with one sentence? He didn’t even ask more about it?
“I’ll draw the Bipetalous Scarlet-Blue Flower. There should be some Moon Whisper Grass on the nearby mountains. I can pick it myself. People usually won’t be able to find this herb.”
“You want to go yourself?” Qian Jiyun frowned and glanced at Yan Nuo.
Yan Nuo understood what his master meant and said immediately, “General, I’m willing to accompany Miss Jiuyue to pick the herbs.”
The deputy generals were even more shocked. Yan Nuo, the deputy general who had always accompanied the general, was made to pick herbs with someone else?
Compared to Xue Ling, it was clear she held a different place in their general’s heart. They had to be careful with their words.
“Okay. You shall accompany Jiuyue.”
He could rest assured with Yan Nuo accompanying her. He looked at An Jiuyue.
She pursed her red lips helplessly. It seemed impossible for her to go out alone.
But having Yan Nuo accompany her was for the better. He could gather whatever she wanted. It was better to collect more so that it would be easier for her to do what she wanted to do next.
“We have no time to lose. I’ll set off after I’ve drawn it. Qian Jiyun, you should prepare these herbs as soon as possible.”
She took out the prescription and handed it to Qian Jiyun.
“Okay.”
Qian Jiyun took the prescription, took a deep breath, and watched An Jiuyue leave the tent.
