During my escape from famine, I survived by eavesdropping on the whispers of food.
Chapter 58 The jar was rented; remember to pay.
Upon hearing this, the attendant realized that even Qin Shuangshuang was helpless, and it seemed that their burly man was doomed this time.
But he had no choice but to beg for mercy and said to Qin Shuangshuang, "Please save our Khan. The Central Plains are in chaos and there are no doctors. Our army's doctors have already fled. If the Khan is gone, our tribe will be completely without a leader."
This will definitely disrupt the formation.
"Besides..."
The attendant hesitated, not daring to continue, so Qin Shuangshuang asked directly, "Besides what?"
The attendant added, "Besides, he's the only leader in the tribe who truly cares about the people. If anything were to happen to him, the other princes, who are killing each other, would surely slaughter innocent people for power."
For a moment, all the officers and soldiers in front of them were discussing this. After all, their Khan was their only leader. If he fell, and those bloodthirsty princes seized power, it would mean that all the soldiers would have to go home. And after they went home, their entire country would probably be in chaos, just like the Central Plains.
Qin Shuangshuang now realized that she had almost poisoned the king of a country to death last night.
Unexpectedly, one day she would have the fate of a country in her own hands, and Qin Shuangshuang couldn't help but feel a sense of exhilaration.
She really didn't want to treat You Yitie, always feeling that he wasn't a good person. In addition, the memory of the mother and son yesterday, and the suffering old, weak, women and children she saw in the Central Plains last night, made her feel even worse.
But the people of Wales were innocent, which meant that Iron could not die, otherwise their country would be wiped out.
How many more people will be displaced then? What if the new Khan is not a wise ruler?
After careful comparison, Qin Shuangshuang still had a lingering reluctance to save the iron-willed man.
But I reluctantly agreed anyway.
She had carefully analyzed the pros and cons, but this was also the reason why he decided to seize this opportunity with a firm grip on it, so as to prevent him from later plotting against the elderly, women, and children of his own country, causing those people to be displaced and instigating war again.
Qin Shuangshuang sighed and said to the attendant in front of her, "Let's go, I'll go with you."
Qin Shuangshuang knew that the reason he hadn't improved was because she hadn't given him the ineffective medicine yesterday. She needed to check on his condition today.
Qin Shuangshuang led the way, with Lu Jun following behind. The two of them went into the tent together, one after the other, following the attendants in front of them.
As soon as Lu Jun entered, he pulled Qin Shuangshuang aside and said, "Have you thought this through? Are you sure you want to save him? Don't regret it later. I saw you were hesitant just now."
Qin Shuangshuang said to him, "There's nothing I can do. He has a country behind him. Once he's cured, I'll renegotiate the price with him. Don't worry, I'm confident I can keep him firmly under my control."
Upon hearing this, Lu Jun smiled faintly and said, "I believe in you; you have the ability."
Qin Shuangshuang stepped forward and looked at the person on the sickbed. He didn't even have the strength to open his eyes. Qin Shuangshuang said to him in a mature tone, "Sir, it seems that his illness has reached its terminal stage. It's probably because he didn't take good care of himself last night, and the cold invaded his body, making his illness worse."
Her body is getting worse and worse, and I'm at a loss. If we really want to save her, there's only one way.
Upon hearing this, the attendants, including the one lying on the couch with iron, grabbed Qin Shuangshuang's hand tightly and said, "Miss Qin, please save me, save me."
Qin Shuangshuang looked at his pleading hand, grabbed her own hand, and said to him, "If you really want me to save you, then you have to obey me, and you have to give me whatever I want."
As soon as Qin Shuangshuang said that, Tie Zhen was worried that she would suddenly ask him to hand over his throne to her.
Then, Tie hesitated for a moment, released her, and said to Qin Shuangshuang, "Tell me what you want first. If you want too much, I can't give it to you."
Seeing that he did not refuse, Qin Shuangshuang said, "I won't ask for too much, Your Majesty, don't worry. I just feel that I need some jewelry recently, or rather, I feel that my family's future storeroom needs to be stocked with more things. What do you think? Also, you must first give to the old, weak, women and children in my Central Plains before I can agree."
Upon hearing this, Tie Yi roughly understood what Qin Shuangshuang wanted. Suppressing his anger, he ordered his attendant, "Go, go quickly. Hand those women over to the soldiers in their camp and have them send them away! Go to the storeroom and bring two boxes of gold for this Miss Qin. Oh, and also bring her some local specialties. Is that alright?"
"Take those local specialties back with you and grow them yourself. Hasn't the Central Plains been suffering from famine lately? Having those things should help you recover for a while."
Qin Shuangshuang asked curiously, "What is it?"
At this moment, Tie thought about it carefully, realizing that as the ruler of a country, how could he possibly know?
He then asked the attendant in front of him, "What is it? Tell Miss Qin quickly, otherwise I can't bear it if she gets any sicker. Her body is getting hotter and hotter."
The attendant racked his brains for a moment and quickly told Qin Shuangshuang, "They are some vegetables grown in the soil, but they are very filling. If you plant a little bit, they will grow and bear many fruits in no time."
Qin Shuangshuang thought for a moment and guessed that they were talking about sweet potatoes and potatoes.
These things are indeed very filling, and I've been looking for them but haven't been able to find them.
Now that they have it, they should put it in their space and plant it, and then lead everyone to plant it together. That could alleviate the current crisis of not being able to afford food.
The attendant hesitated for a moment, then said to her, "But we brought too little; I'm afraid it won't be enough to meet your request."
Qin Shuangshuang thought that something was better than nothing. "As long as it's there, that's fine. I only wanted a token of the Khan's appreciation anyway. That's right!"
She thought of something and wouldn't budge from the sickbed, "Also, we brought a lot of jars from our military camp, and those need to be reimbursed. Consider those jars as rent to you. Now that we've used them up, I'll have to take them back. We'll calculate the rent, and it should be at least two gold coins."
At this moment, Tie was lying on the couch and almost vomited blood. He did not expect Qin Shuangshuang to be so petty. All he had done was use her jar, and she was making such a fuss about it.
He was so angry he almost couldn't breathe.
The attendant quickly tried to comfort him, saying, "Big man, don't get angry. If you keep getting angry, you'll run out of breath."
Upon hearing this, Qin Shuangshuang and Lu Jun almost burst out laughing. At this moment, Tie gritted his teeth in anger and said to Qin Shuangshuang, "Miss Qin, can we see the doctor now?"
Qin Shuangshuang then said to him, "Don't worry, the medicine I'm going to use for you will be something that no one would expect, and it's extremely expensive. Only that thing can make you recover quickly."
With a keen interest, he asked, "What kind of treasure is it? Why don't you take it out and let me see it?"
At this moment, Qin Shuangshuang waved her hand and said to him mysteriously, "This thing cannot be seen by others. It is a treasure of our Central Plains. You may have some over there, but you probably don't have as many as we do here. Moreover, it is now very difficult to find even a tiny bit of this thing in our Central Plains. What I have is all passed down from my ancestors."
Tie became even more curious upon hearing this and asked her, "Tell me quickly, what treasure is it? I really want to see it."
Qin Shuangshuang told him, "It's Ganoderma lucidum, that kind of thing that you can't even buy with gold these days."
Upon hearing the word "Lingzhi," Tie Yi was shocked. "You mean Lingzhi! I've heard people from the Central Plains talk about it. It's incredibly expensive now. How do you have it? Could it be a fake?"
Qin Shuangshuang broke out in a cold sweat. "How could it be fake? As a doctor, I would never give a patient fake medicine. Don't worry."
When Qin Shuangshuang thought about what she had done to him last night, she felt that what she had just said was indeed a bit of a slap in the face.
