Five kinds of medicine in another world

Upon seeing this, the old man opened the imperial edict and read slowly:

"The Emperor, by order of Heaven, declares: The situation in Zhenxie County is critical, and the Hengdao Escort Agency must provide support as quickly as possible. The Hengdao Escort Agency is ordered to arrive in Zhenxie County within 20 days to ensure that Zhenxie County is not lost. This is my decree."

The old man stretched out his hands and said to Du Sha, who had a heavy expression on his face:

"King Du Biao, please accept the order."

The sound was like the call of a duck, extremely harsh.

Du Sha looked at the imperial edict solemnly, then looked up at the old man in front of him, suddenly laughed and said:

"The common people accept the order."

The old man ignored Du Sha who was laughing. After all, his task was to hand over the imperial edict to Du Sha. Everything else was not worth mentioning.

The old man handed the imperial edict to Du Sha and turned away.

Normally, I can wait for extra income from tips, but I can’t count on it this time.

After all, this imperial edict was like a death warrant, urging people to go to the battlefield.

It's good enough if you can get the job done smoothly after causing trouble for others.

Du Sha took the imperial edict and looked at the old man's back with a fierce look in his eyes.

"What's wrong, King Du Biao? Is there something wrong?"

Gu Nineteen asked doubtfully.

"Everything is wrong. It takes us 10 days to travel to Zhenxie County in 20 days. It's a good plan to make more than 10,000 Zhenxie swords in 10 days."

Du Sha said fiercely.

"Ten thousand swords in ten days, one thousand swords a day, how many evil-suppressing swords can be forged in one day now, Great Elder Jiang?"

Gu Shijiu asked Jiang Wenming.

"One furnace is made every two hours. We work seven hours a day, and we have to rest for an hour in between. That means three furnaces a day. One hundred furnaces can make three hundred furnaces a day."

Jiang Wenming did some calculations and said it directly.

"The efficiency must be at least tripled to complete the project. I will go and discuss it with my eldest brother and third brother."

After Jiang Wenming finished speaking, he immediately went to look for someone.

"What should we do then, King Du Biao? What are you thinking?"

Lin Zhong asked anxiously.

"Don't bother King Du Biao anymore. Didn't Great Elder Jiang go to discuss countermeasures? All we can do is get the Evil-Suppressing Sword and rush to the Evil-Suppressing County as quickly as possible. There's nothing else we can do!"

Gu Shijiu said seriously.

"Let's go back, Nineteen. Come with me and see if Jiang Wenming can find a solution."

Du Sha was silent for a while and then spoke.

"Okay, King Du Biao, let's go take a look."

Gu Nineteen nodded in response.

As Du Sha and Gu Shijiu went to find Jiang Wenming, everyone in the escort agency who stayed there sighed deeply.

"Great Elder Jiang, what's going on?"

When Gu Shijiu and Du Sha were walking towards the South Courtyard, they saw Jiang Wenming suddenly appearing from somewhere.

Gu Shijiu asked hurriedly.

"Do your best and obey fate."

"I discussed it with my eldest brother and third brother and changed our approach."

"We have now urgently called back all the spiritual weapon masters who can forge the third-level evil-suppressing sword, and they will continue to forge for twelve hours without stopping."

"And we opened all the remaining earth-fire furnaces. Mr. Liu also went to buy auxiliary materials as quickly as possible. We should be able to guarantee the supply."

Jiang Wenming sighed and said:

"Even so, we can't guarantee that we can forge 10,000 evil-suppressing swords within ten days, let alone the escort agency's share."

"All I can say is, do your best and leave the rest to fate."

After Jiang Wenming finished speaking, Du Sha spoke.

"Thank you, Elder Jiang. This is good enough. At least there is hope."

After Du Sha finished speaking, he bowed deeply to Jiang Wenming.

Jiang Wenming jumped away immediately upon seeing this and said:

"Old man, don't give me that. I'm doing this for the brothers in the escort agency, not for you. Don't be so self-indulgent. Get out of the way quickly. I have to go and help."

Seeing this, Du Sha smiled and shook his head, then quickly made way.

"Then we can't get through?"

Gu Shijiu looked at Du Sha and couldn't help but ask with a smile.

"Of course we have to go over there and see if there's anything we can help with. Besides, standing there can also prevent some accidents from happening, right?"

Du Sha said calmly.

After saying that, Du Sha took Gu Shijiu and continued walking towards the South Courtyard.

As soon as Du Sha and Gu Shijiu entered the South Courtyard, they felt a busy atmosphere.

All the weapon masters are constantly busy.

Some spiritual weapon masters wielded sledgehammers to remove impurities from the evil-suppressing iron with great force.

Some spiritual weapon masters carve spiritual characters to condense spiritual energy.

There are also some spiritual weapon masters who are constantly quenching and adding auxiliary materials.

Du Sha and Gu Shijiu watched for a long time but didn't feel they could help in any way, so they could only stand aside and wait quietly.

"Lord Du, Brother Nineteen, are you all here?"

Suddenly a sound was heard, and Du Sha and Gu Shijiu turned around to look.

I saw the housekeeper, Old Liu, pushing a wheelchair, and Jiang Liming, who was sitting on the wheelchair, was speaking to the two of them.

"Master Jiang, you are here."

Du Sha greeted him.

"Well, come and check the progress, but to be honest, I don't understand the progress given by the Dynasty. It is basically an impossible task."

"I suspect this is a scheme by the dynasty to kill three birds with one stone."

After Jiang Lili finished speaking, Gu Shijiu asked curiously:

"What do you mean by killing three birds with one stone? Where is the meaning of killing three birds with one stone?"

"Hahaha, little brother Nineteen, you don't understand. Let me explain it to you."

After that, Jiang Wenli explained to him in detail:

"It should have happened a thousand years ago. At that time, the imperial dynasty urgently needed a batch of weapons to suppress the demon tribe, and needed our Tianzhu County to forge them, but Tianzhu County had a rule."

"The rule is that only two companies can have the same tools."

"Why are there two kinds of weapons?"

Gu Nineteen asked doubtfully.

"That is, a batch of materials cannot be given to two castings. Only one company can be responsible for it. This is called "one tool does not belong to two companies."

Jiang said politely.

"So no one was able to deliver this batch of goods in time, causing the dynasty to suffer heavy losses."

“So I said, this might be a wake-up call for us spiritual weapon masters.”

Jiang Liming finished speaking and continued:

"That's one. The second is to put a accusation on your escort agency and make you disobey the emperor's order. It may be a way to intimidate you."

"The third reason should be that the Evil-Suppressing County is indeed in danger, and they want our Evil-Suppressing Sword to arrive quickly."

After Jiang Lili finished speaking, Gu Shijiu followed up by saying:

"No matter what the reason is, we can only choose to get the Evil-Suppressing Blade in place as soon as possible. This will be good for everyone."

Du Sha nodded and said:

"You're right. As long as we get the Evil-Suppressing Blade in place within the specified time, the Dynasty shouldn't make things difficult for us anymore."

Jiang politely nodded in agreement.

"Why is this? Is the Evil-Suppressing Sword really that important? I still don't quite understand."

Gu Shijiu became even more confused.

“Hahaha, that’s the dynasty.”

"This incident started because we skirted the imperial dynasty's iron laws. It's no problem for the imperial dynasty to investigate."

"But we admit our mistakes. It's okay for the dynasty to pursue the matter once or twice, but it can't keep pursuing it. That's the dynasty, and it has its own tolerance and bottom line."

"The imperial edict is not a piece of cake. One or two are fine, but more would be a loss of dignity."

After Du Sha finished speaking, Gu Shijiu nodded as if he understood.
