Chapter 674 The house leaks and it rains all night

During this day, many unexpected events occurred, and Zhou Chang was exhausted both physically and mentally, yet also felt a lot of emotion.

Jiang Meng was out of danger, and Zhou Chang should have returned to his tent to rest, but he was still worried and watched the battle report written by the military advisor being sent to Jindu by express horse.

After watching the battle report disappear, Zhou Chang was about to turn back in the dusk, but he saw a convoy slowly approaching from afar.

The first person looked familiar.

Zhou Chang calmed himself and looked over, and it turned out to be Wei Ning with a basket of clothes.

Wei Ning should have stayed in the Siwei Medicine Shop in Jindu to coordinate, so why did he come here?

Wei Ning had not expected that Prince Yi would personally stand at the camp gate, so he quickly dismounted, rushed forward, and knelt on one knee. His first words were, "Your Majesty, Mr. Zhong is in the car behind, and has been unconscious for many days."

"What?" Zhou Chang was extremely shocked. "Mr. Zhong? Why is he here? What's wrong with him? What happened?"

While asking this question, the person was already a few steps away.

After passing by more than a dozen carriages loaded with medicinal herbs, Zhou Chang found Zhong Yu in the last carriage.

Zhong Yu was so thin that his bones were just skin and bones. He lay in the carriage like a dried corpse.

His face was pale, without a trace of blood, his eyes were tightly closed, but his brows were still furrowed.

Zhong Yu was half lying and half leaning in a man's arms. That man seemed to be supporting Zhong Yu with all his strength. Zhou Chang's expression froze when he saw Zhong Yu.

Zhou Chang was shocked to see Zhong Yu like this, and was even more surprised by the person who was holding Zhong Yu: "Mr. Mei? Why are you here too?"

Mei Sheng pursed his lips and said nothing.

Zhou Chang ignored Mei Sheng's hesitation and climbed into the car: "Mr. Zhong, Mr. Zhong, what's wrong?"

Before she climbed into the carriage, she felt dizzy.

Fortunately, the skinny guy caught him from behind, otherwise Zhou Chang would have fallen out of the car.

After the continuous stimulation and torment during the whole day, Zhou Chang really couldn't bear it anymore.

Soon, Zhong Yu was placed next to Gao Yuan's tent, and a military doctor was invited to check on him.

Wei Ning handed the medicinal materials to Chen Yuan and Han Bin to hand over to the military supplies.

Zhou Chang was carried back to the tent by the skinny monkey to recover.

After Zhou Chang caught his breath, he sent away the military doctor and other people brought by Shouhou, and urgently summoned Wei Ning to ask about the situation.

As soon as Wei Ning arrived, he spoke eloquently and explained the matter clearly.

Since Zhou Chang had been urging Jindu to collect medicinal materials several months ago, Zhong Yutong and Fu Ming tried their best. However, since medicinal materials have been in short supply all year round, it was difficult to raise a large amount no matter how many ways they tried.

In the past three months, Zhou Chang's urging letters have become more urgent than the last. With only half of the medicinal materials collected, Zhong Yu and Fu Ming decided to escort them personally, starting from Jindu, and then find ways along the way to try to raise the required amount before reaching Yuebei.

Halfway through the journey, Zhong Yu was worried about leaving the palace and the pharmacy in Jindu unattended, so he asked Fu Ming to go back to look after the Siwei pharmacy and also take care of the palace.

Fu Ming was also worried that Zhong Yu was too weak to endure the bumpy ride, so he advised Zhong Yu to return and let him escort him personally.

After a dispute between the two sides, Zhong Yu finally insisted on escorting him, on the grounds that he not only wanted to collect medicinal materials, but also had something to report to King Yi in person.

Later, their team met up with the Yuan family's fleet transporting medicinal materials on the way.

Mei Sheng was on the boat at that time.

As for why Mei Sheng was on the boat, Wei Ning didn't know.

All we know is that Mei Sheng and Zhong Yu knew each other, and the two groups had planned to join together, so they rushed to Yuebei together.

However, the further north they went, the worse Zhong Yu's physical condition became.

This was mainly because when he was in Jindu, Zhong Yu was worried and tired day and night, and when he was on the road, the bumpy road, poor diet and poor sleep further weakened his body, and he eventually fell ill.

But when he heard that Prince Yi was leading a large army to march straight into the three states of Yuebei, Zhong Yu, despite his illness, insisted on speeding up his journey with dozens of carts of medicinal materials.

After leaving the northern border of Vietnam, Zhong Yu's health deteriorated day by day. Coupled with the stimulation of the scenes he saw along the way, he began to faint frequently.

In the first few days, Zhong Yu could be woken up immediately after fainting. After that, the number of fainting times became less and less, but it would take him half a day to wake up after fainting.

When Zhong Yu woke up, he ignored his physical condition and hurried on his way, just to catch up with the army as soon as possible.

As for medical treatment, there was a doctor in the team, and that person was Mei Sheng’s master, Doctor Qin.

However, Zhong Yu refused medical treatment when he was awake, and when he was unconscious, Doctor Qin took his pulse, prescribed medicine, and boiled a decoction.

But after Zhong Yu woke up, he was reluctant to eat.

The reason was that the injured soldiers at the front must need those medicinal herbs more than he did, so he prepared some pills himself, and just taking that would be effective.

Doctor Qin even advised Zhong Yu to stop and rest, but Zhong Yu refused to listen and insisted on continuing on his journey.

As a result, it has been two days and two nights since Zhong Yu fainted for the last time, and he has not yet woken up.

Doctor Qin could only feel that his pulse was weak, and he took some thousand-year-old ginseng and boiled it into a ginseng soup and had him drink it in small sips to save his life. He hoped to get to the military camp as soon as possible so that a more skilled military doctor could see what was going on.

"You mean, Mr. Zhong is in a hurry to meet me and has something to say to me face to face?" After listening to Wei Ning's narration, Zhou Chang had a bad feeling in his heart.

Zhong Yu worked hard to raise this batch of medicinal materials. He was already in poor health and had a bumpy journey. Now he is unconscious and his condition may be very bad.

Zhong Yu must be the one who knows best what his physical condition is and how long he can last. However, even so, he still rushes on his journey. Is there something that cannot be said in a letter but must be said in person?

"Yes, the reason Mr. Zhong finally convinced Manager Fu was that he had to come in person because he had something to discuss with the prince in person, and correspondence was too time-consuming and difficult to explain." Wei Ning explained everything he could think of.

Zhou Chang couldn't think of anything important. Her whole focus had been on the war in recent times.

However, the most important thing is that over the past month or so, the deeper we go into the three states, the more difficult it becomes to communicate with the outside world via correspondence.

Therefore, Zhou Chang just sent out a few letters every day, and his main goal was to urge them to reply without paying any attention, but he never received many replies.

However, Zhong Yu is unconscious now, so there is no way to ask him anything. We can only wait until Zhong Yu wakes up.

Finally, Zhou Chang thought of Aunt Jing who was far away in Jindu, and asked, "Except for Mr. Zhong, are all the people in Jindu okay?"

Wei Ning thought for a moment and said, "When we set out, everything was normal at the palace and the medicine shop. But after the news of His Royal Highness Xian Wang's death was passed back, Jindu sealed off the four gates, and no one could enter or leave without the approval of the City Patrol."
