Chapter 296 1 Burned it down

"Arrange for more guards to follow them; this time, we must not lose them again."

Upon hearing this, Feng Ling's expression hardened. He naturally understood the seriousness of the matter, bowed in response, and immediately went to arrange manpower.

Yueying followed closely behind Jiang Yuyue, wandering through the streets of the water town. He was on edge, not daring to relax for a moment, for fear of messing things up again. If he lost her, it would be truly the end.

Jiang Yuyue, on the other hand, arrived at the entrance of Wutong Pharmacy in the water town with ease. The shop here was no different from other Wutong Pharmacies, and it was always crowded with customers who came to buy medicinal herbs.

Jiang Yuyue walked into the shop and immediately saw Lian Mo standing in front of the counter. She went up to him and greeted him.

When Lian Mo saw Jiang Yuyue's face, he was taken aback. For the past four years, she had been appearing as He Wu, and now that she had suddenly switched back to her original face, it was quite a shock to him.

"Why did you switch back?!"

Lian Mo lowered his voice, "Aren't you afraid of being discovered?!"

"It's a long story."

Jiang Yuyue sighed softly, "In short, I'm going to become Jiang Yuyue again now. I came here today to ask about your follow-up plans."

Upon hearing Jiang Yuyue mention this, Lian Mo's expression changed slightly. He sighed and said, "Let's go inside and talk about it."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yuyue nodded and was about to step into the inner room with Lian Mo when she caught a glimpse of Yueying following closely behind her.

"Moon Shadow, you stay outside and keep watch."

The content of her discussion with Lian Mo was not something that could be known to outsiders, but upon hearing this, Yueying's face showed a troubled expression. "Miss Jiang, this..."

"Don't worry, I won't run away."

Jiang Yuyue had no choice but to patiently explain, "This room only has this one door, there's no other way out. Besides, the child is already in his hands, where else can I run to?"

Yueying, however, remained hesitant and dared not relax. Seeing this, Jiang Yuyue frowned and raised her voice slightly, "Even now, do you still doubt me?"

These words made Yueying slightly apprehensive, and she quickly replied, "This subordinate dares not."

Seeing his state, Jiang Yuyue didn't want to make things too difficult for him, and simply said again, "I said I won't leave, and I mean it. Just wait here in peace."

After saying this, Jiang Yuyue ignored him and went into the inner room with Lian Mo, closing the door behind them. Yueying, standing at the door, sighed repeatedly, silently praying that this Miss Jiang was a woman of her word, otherwise he was afraid he would suffer again.

After closing the door, Lian Mo finally voiced his doubts, "Who was that person just now...?"

"Ignore him,"

Jiang Yuyue came today to discuss serious matters, so she didn't want to mention anything else and went straight to the point, asking, "What are your plans for Medicine King Valley next?"

When this matter was mentioned, Lian Mo looked worried. The reason was none other than the unusual situation that had occurred in Medicine King Valley in recent years.

The reason Lian Mo has provided Jiang Yuyue's Wutong Pharmacy with rare medicinal herbs from Medicine King Valley at such low prices over the years is certainly not because Lian Mo is kind-hearted.

In recent years, for some unknown reason, the medicinal herbs in the Medicine King Valley have been growing wildly inexplicably. Herbs that would normally take a year to mature can now be harvested in just half a month.

In addition to the medicinal herbs in the herb field, all kinds of medicinal herbs will grow spontaneously in a very strange way wherever there is soil. Even if they are pulled out, they will grow back at an astonishing speed the next day.

At first, the people of Medicine King Valley were happy about the promising growth of the medicinal herbs, but they never expected that these herbs would gradually develop into an unstoppable trend, and the medicinal herbs in the entire Medicine King Valley would just pile up into mountains.

Moreover, this is not a problem that can be solved by simply dumping the medicinal herbs. In such a situation of oversupply, if they were to be sold, they would inevitably have to be sold at an extremely low price.

But Medicine King Valley isn't the only place in the world with medicinal herbs. If Medicine King Valley sets the precedent for selling them at rock-bottom prices, it will inevitably cause chaos in the market. It's true that Medicine King Valley can solve its herb problem, but herb farmers elsewhere will have no way to make a living.

Fortunately, the Nanzhao Kingdom has frequently harassed the borders during these years, and due to the war, the demand for medicinal herbs in the market has surged.

Thanks to the war, the stockpiled medicinal herbs in Medicine King Valley have been somewhat relieved, but even though several years have passed, Medicine King Valley still has not found a way to completely stop the rampant growth of medicinal herbs.

Now that Song Jinglan has personally led the army and won a great victory in the battle against Nanzhao, the demand for medicinal herbs in the market has decreased due to the absence of war. So, what should be done with the medicinal herbs in Medicine King Valley?

"What else can be done?"

Lian Mo's expression was grave. "I went back to take a look a few days ago, and the medicinal herbs have almost completely covered the entire valley. It's almost uninhabitable now. Our current plan is to relocate to another place. As for those medicinal herbs..."

At this point, Lian Mo let out another long sigh, "Perhaps in the end, all we can do is burn all those medicinal herbs."

"It's burned?!"

Jiang Yuyue frowned, feeling a pang of heartache. "The medicinal herbs in your Medicine King Valley are all top-notch. It would be such a waste to burn them all!"

"If we don't burn it, it will just rot in the ground. Do you expect me to sell it? We Medicine King Valley would never do something like this to harm our fellow villagers."

Lian Mo's words were full of helplessness, "However, it's not really that bad yet. The valley is still trying to find a solution, but if they really can't find the cause, burning it down is the only option."

"That's true."

Jiang Yuyue's mood also became a little heavy, and then she said, "I will also help you inquire about this matter. Perhaps this situation has happened before, and there will always be a solution."

Upon hearing this, Lian Mo lowered his head and rubbed his temples. Although he felt the chances of success were slim, he still thanked him, saying, "Thank you."

After giving some instructions about the shop, Jiang Yuyue pushed open the door and went out. As soon as she opened the door, she was met with Yueying's relieved expression.

Are you that afraid she'll run away...?

"Let's go."

Jiang Yuyue didn't say anything; she had no intention of running away again. "Go to the capital."
