Chapter 194: Chapter 194: Regret
Qi Yue’s heart tightened.
It was her own fault for ntioning the White Rhino.
What if there were still White Rhinos in the Western Regions of Longnan Ridge? Would they not be deceived?
She was about to dissuade them when she heard Murong Mingyue say, “How easy can it be? There were rumors that last year people from Donggao secretly entered the Western Regions of Longnan Ridge and spent months without catching a White Rhino”
“Big Brother, I want to find the White Rhino!” Bai Dahui thumped his chest loudly, “I have raised pigs for over a decade and also cattle, sheep, and horses. I understand animal habits well and can definitely retrieve the White Rhino.”
Murong Mingyue’s eyes imdiately lit up, “Brother Dahui, are you serious?”
“Of course, I am serious. Big Brother, you are suffering from illness, and I worry day and night. I still want to eat duck and drink with you. Who expected that you could not eat anymore… ”
As he spoke, Bai Dahui, a manly figure, suddenly started crying.
Qi Yue’s scalp went numb.
She had seen deep brotherly love, but never like this.
It was frightening.
She wanted to persuade them not to look for the White Rhino, but she also knew that if Murong Mingyue really wanted to go, no one could stop him.
Sure enough, Murong Mingyue beca excited.
He walked excitedly back and forth on the ground, his face full of exhilaration.
“It would be great if we could find the White Rhino, it is a divine creature, but it might be difficult to make it willingly offer itself!”
Bai Dahui, however, seed unconcerned.
“This ox is like a pig, both need to be raised. I know a way to make it willingly offer its blood.”
“That’s great, that’s great.” Murong Mingyue nodded repeatedly, the two brothers excitedly started discussing the capture of the White Rhino.
Qi Yue regretted it too late and could only pay close attention to the progress of this matter.
Several days later, the dicine factory was completed.
Shen Zikuang ca to ask Qi Yue for a final inspection.
Unexpectedly, she saw Murong Mingyue at the dicine factory.
But after a slight thought, she understood.
To establish such a large dicine factory in Dongjiang without the Governor’s approval was absolutely impossible.
After several days of dical treatnt, Murong Mingyue looked much healthier, the spots on his face also seed much lighter, and dressed in an official robe, he appeared even more dignified.
As soon as he saw Qi Yue, Murong Mingyue cheerfully greeted her.
“I thought it was which Divine Doctor, but it turns out to be Miss Qi Yue. Truly a descendant of a military family.”
From the tone of his voice, Shen Zikuang had already shared all her details with the Governor.
Qi Yue also laughed right away.
“You flatter , Governor!”
Subsequently, including Murong Mingyue, the group visited the entire dicine factory.
The next day, Murong Mingyue personally attended the opening ceremony of the dicine factory, giving Shen Zikuang enough face.
After the opening ceremony, Qi Yue inadvertently saw Bai Dahui looking for Murong Mingyue; the two muttered sothing indistinctly.
That night, Qu Wei suddenly ca to see her, saying Bai Dahui had taken more than a hundred soldiers and left Dongjiang.
Qi Yue imdiately confird that they must have gone to the Western Regions of Longnan County to look for the White Rhino.
Sure enough, Qu Wei said mysteriously, “Sister, do you know what they are doing?”
Qi Yue, dismissing his playful suspense, scornfully said, “You speak as if you know?”
“Bai Dahui said they went to capture the White Rhino and also said you had already agreed to use the White Rhino’s blood to make dicine for the Governor.”
Qi Yue was speechless.
At the ti, she thought the White Rhino was extinct, so she casually ntioned it, which also implied rejection, and she had no intention of making dicine for them.
She really had not expected that Bai Dahui, for Murong Mingyue, would truly do anything.
He had been spreading the word about capturing the White Rhino far and wide.
She had already decided if Bai Dahui didn’t bring back the White Rhino this ti, then so be it. But if he really did bring one back, she would snatch it from him.
After all, it was she who had caused this disruption. If it hadn’t been for her careless talk, the White Rhino would not have suffered this undeserved calamity.
After the opening of the pharmaceutical factory, Qi Yue beca extrely busy. She needed to train the recruited pharmacy workers as quickly as possible.
Her thod was the sa as those used in the pharmaceutical factories in Longnan.
That was to divide the pharmacy workers into over ten teams, each team making a different kind of dicine. This strategy prevented confusion and increased proficiency; efficiency was much higher as well.
During the training, she discovered about thirty people who were fast and stable. Qi Yue selected them and grouped them into two teams.
She tasked them with more complex prescriptions and to produce more than one kind of dicine.
Naturally, the wages for these people were also the highest.
One month later, these pharmacy workers gradually beca proficient, and the speed of pharmaceutical production improved to various degrees.
Soon, the first batch of thirty-two common dicines was launched.
After inspection, the quality and therapeutic effect of these finished dicines were top-notch. As long as they were used properly, they were almost miraculous in curing ailnts.
For symptoms like stomach aches, fevers, or difficulty breathing, which developed quickly and severely, waiting for traditional dical consultation and brewing of dicines would be too slow.
But now with these ready-made dicines, one could simply take the right one for their condition.
So illnesses could even be resolved without visiting a doctor. For slightly more complex conditions, a doctor could make a quick diagnosis, and using these ready-made dicines would be both effective and safe.
That day, Qi Yue sought out Shen Zikuang to discuss his next steps.
“Mr. Shen, now that my responsibilities are all fulfilled, the next steps depend on you. How do you plan to promote these dicines throughout Beiyuan?” she asked.
Shen Zikuang imdiately spoke in earnest.
“This is my plan: currently, we have a limited number of dicines. I intend to first introduce these dicines to major pharmacies in Dongjiang, to build a reputation. Afterward, we will expand to the neighboring counties, and finally to the whole of Beiyuan.”
“By then, we might need to open more branches.”
“In any case, Miss Qi, rest assured, the Shen Family has long-standing business relations with all the major pharmacies, and there will surely be no issues with cooperating on dicines,” he concluded.
Seeing Shen Zikuang’s confidence and the strong feasibility of his plan, Qi Yue felt relieved.
After telling Shen Zikuang that she would be leaving in a few days, he tried his best to retain her.
However, Qi Yue had still decided to leave after three days.
Firstly, she was constantly worried about Song Gensheng’s situation, not knowing whether he had safely reached Longnan County Governnt.
Secondly, she planned to make a detour to the Western Regions of Longnan Ridge to see if Bai Dahui had captured the White Rhino. If he had, she would find an opportunity to intercept it.
If not, she would ask him to stop his wrongful actions. Anyway, she felt that, with the likes of Bai Dahui and Murong Mingyue, it was unlikely that the White Rhino would willingly give up its blood and body.
Initially, she had captured Xiaobai using an entire stream of Lingquan Brook Water from her spatial inventory.
Three days later in the early morning, Qi Yue called Old Lady Zhang to pack up and prepare to leave, but Shopkeeper Feng hurriedly arrived.
“Miss Qi, the Governor wants to see you. The carriage is already waiting outside,” he said.
Qi Yue thought that the Governor probably heard that she was leaving and wanted to persuade her to stay.
He was probably still dreaming of capturing the White Rhino!
“Please, tell those waiting that my departure is already scheduled, and I cannot afford any delays,” she instructed Feng, the shopkeeper.
However, the shopkeeper’s face showed difficulty.
“Miss Qi, the Governor’s request might be hard to refuse. It would be better for you to go and see him,” he suggested.
Qu Wei also ca over and whispered in persuasion.
“Sister, listen to your brother. You should go. The Governor holds great power over both military and civil affairs. He has strong influence. If you reject his invitation outright, it might bring endless troubles later on!” he advised.
Qi Yue was filled with regret.
She knew she should not have gotten involved with these politicians.
She had no choice but to go.
