Chapter 59: Beheading the Ungrateful Wolf

~8 min read 1,521 words

Bai Wei was stunned, "Was it Li Haiguo who pinched me awake?"

No wonder she suddenly saw darkness before her eyes and her consciousness was pulled back; it turned out she had been disturbed in reality.

Professor Ye looked worried, "Is there anywhere you feel uncomfortable?"

Looking at the two elders full of concern, Bai Wei found it inconvenient to explain, so she stood up to thank them.

"Thank you, Director Qin, and Professor Ye. I'm fine. I might have just been too tired these past few days and fainted for a moment."

"That's good." Director Qin let out a sigh of relief, his face beaming with smiles, "Bai Wei, do you intend to sell these horses on your farm?"

Bai Wei nodded.

"I'm selling them. If you want to buy them, just go by the auction price."

Although the farm had been expanded now, becoming fifteen mu.

But ten mu of that was greenhouse vegetables, which still had to be kept to send to Xiao Moting's side.

The remaining five mu was not spacious either, and an eight-hundred-square-meter double-story Warehouse had been built on it.

Adding eight large horses made it even more crowded.

Eight Alpine Horse breeds, totaling eighty million.

Director Qin was so happy his eyebrows danced; he immediately called his superiors to apply for the funds.

"Bai Wei, I am applying to my superiors for the funds to buy the horses; it will probably take a few days to be approved."

"For these few days, I'll have to trouble you to look after these horses for me."

"By the way, what are your plans for that Fierce-Maned Blood-Sweating Horse?"

Director Qin looked at Bai Wei eagerly, his eyes full of anticipation.

Bai Wei frowned.

This little horse had already become familiar with Dahuang and was very lively and cute; she did not intend to sell it for the time being.

"Director Qin, I'm sorry, I intend to keep this little horse."

A look of deep disappointment appeared on Director Qin's face.

"Then in the future... if you can get horses like this again, remember to notify me."

"No problem." Bai Wei nodded.

For such a small matter, she just needed to say a word to Xiao Moting.

Just as Director Qin and Professor Ye were preparing to leave, Bai Wei thought for a moment, stepped forward, and called the two elders to stop.

"Director Qin, Professor Ye, could you help me buy a batch of medicine?"

"What kind of medicine?"

"I need to buy Artemisinin, Chloroquine, and Primaquine, about one hundred thousand boxes of each."

The quantity of medicine she needed was too large; with her own ability, it was impossible to prepare it all in a short time.

But Director Qin and Professor Ye were different; they had wide connections and broad paths, and perhaps they could get it with just a word.

As soon as Bai Wei finished speaking, the two elders were dumbfounded.

Professor Ye was surprised, "Bai Wei, are you changing careers to open a wholesale pharmacy?"

Bai Wei smiled and shook her head, "My friend has an urgent need for them."

"Artemisinin, Chloroquine, and Primaquine are all medicines used to treat malaria." Director Qin looked at her suspiciously, "Did a malaria outbreak happen at your friend's place? I don't seem to have heard of any large-scale malaria outbreaks in the country."

"Yes." Bai Wei nodded.

She had already diagnosed that the plague breaking out in the Northern Frontier Camp was malaria.

Professor Ye asked, "Where exactly is your friend? How come they don't even have such medicine?"

"He... he is abroad." Naturally, Bai Wei could not say that the medicine she bought was to be sent to Daliang, "Just, somewhere in Africa. He works there, and a malaria outbreak occurred in the tribe, so he called me for help."

The two elders immediately showed expressions of understanding.

Director Qin nodded solemnly, "Diseases do break out easily over there. I will call a friend at the Drug Administration and give you an answer by this evening."

"Thank you, Director Qin." Bai Wei let out a breath, feeling much more at ease.

After the two elders left, Bai Wei immediately drove her Recreational Vehicle to the city.

Malaria was shockingly contagious; even if things went smoothly with Director Qin, it would take at least until tomorrow to get the medicine delivered.

She had to hurry and send a batch of medicine first to save the critically ill patients.

……

Bai Wei teleported the twenty-some boxes of medicine she had bought to the Northern Frontier Camp.

"Xiao Moting, I have written the usage instructions on the paper."

"Use the medicine on the critically ill patients first; I will try my best to send the rest of the medicine tomorrow."

Looking at the large pile of medicine, Xiao Moting did not hesitate and immediately summoned all the Military Doctors to learn how to use the medicine.

The Daliang Military Doctors were already very familiar with the modern medicine sent by Bai Wei.

Before long, the Military Doctors immediately took the medicine and began treating the patients.

"Prince, you have also contracted the plague; you must get an injection first."

Xiao Moting waved his hand.

"I can still hold on. The quantity of medicine is limited; use it on those who are seriously ill."

He had already made it through the symptoms of alternating cold and heat.

Now he was in a stable period of the illness, feeling only dizzy and weak in his limbs, but it was not yet at a fatal level.

The Military Doctors distributed the medicine and went from patient to patient giving injections.

Xiao Moting led the Military Doctors to Zhang Zhao's side.

Zhang Zhao was still unconscious.

Just as the Military Doctor lifted the quilt off his body, preparing to give an injection and administer medicine!

Suddenly!

A letter fell out from Zhang Zhao's bosom.

Qin Zhan picked it up immediately, and after just one glance, his expression changed drastically.

"Prince, this is a secret letter slandering you for colluding with the enemy and committing treason!"

In an instant, the atmosphere all around became tense.

Several Northern Frontier Army soldiers following behind Xiao Moting immediately drew their Long Swords.

Xiao Moting furrowed his brows tightly and reached out to take the letter.

"A letter written by the Right Worthy King?"

On the envelope, the Right Worthy King's private seal was stamped.

Last time the Right Worthy King came to Beijiang, he sought to cooperate with him, wanting him to open the city gates to let the Daye merchant caravans enter, and promised him heavy profits.

He refused.

He did not expect that the Right Worthy King had actually found an inside man in Daliang, wanting to slander him for colluding with the enemy.

Qin Zhan gritted his teeth, "Prince, it is fortunate that you have eyes like torches, saw that the Right Worthy King had no sincerity, and refused to cooperate with him."

"This Right Worthy King is nothing but an ungrateful wretch."

"Because you refused to cooperate, he harbored resentment and slandered you behind your back!"

Xiao Moting spoke coldly.

"The Right Worthy King's reach can actually extend to Shengjing."

"It seems that there is someone in the imperial court colluding with Daye, and their status is not low."

"This Zhang Zhao!" Qin Zhan's eyes widened in anger, and he drew his sword and placed it against Zhang Zhao's neck, "You kindly settled his troops and treated his illness, yet he actually wanted to frame you for unrighteousness! Prince, please allow this subordinate to behead this ungrateful wretch!"

Xiao Moting furrowed his brows tightly.

No matter what, he could not have imagined that Zhang Zhao would carry a secret letter, preparing to frame him.

If Zhang Zhao had not fallen ill, this letter would have appeared in his tent.

He grew up in Beijiang and had deep support from the army; his Imperial Father was both cold toward him and wary of him.

When that time came, his Imperial Father would certainly not consider their father-son relationship, would convict him of the major crime of treason and rebellion on the spot, and would have him escorted back to Shengjing.

Given his Imperial Father's suspicious and jealous nature, he would have no chance to explain at all.

He would die, and all his trusted followers would also die.

The Northern Frontier Army would be purged, and countless people would die unjustly.

Even Old General Han, who raised him, would likely have his entire family executed.

The soldiers all around felt a lingering fear and were filled with indignation.

"Prince, Zhang Zhao's intentions are vicious; he does not deserve to use our medicine."

"The Prince treated him so well, yet he actually wanted to frame the Prince for treason; for a person like this, just let him die of his illness!"

"Zhang Zhao wants to get us all killed, don't treat him anymore!"

The Military Doctor also withdrew his needle, his expression filled with resentment.

He would not treat a person who wanted to drive the Northern Frontier Army to their deaths!
