At first, Long Yi was confused and didn't know what it meant: "Snake King, what do you want to do?"

The python raised its head high, stared at the dragon, spit out red snake hair, and shouted anxiously...

"Read the letter, read the letter quickly. It's a letter from your ancestors."

After saying that, it licked the letter in Long Yi's hand with its red snake tongue.

In the dark, the little flower snake saw this scene and broke out in a cold sweat. It turned out that the king had just deceived it. This human could not understand what it was saying at all.

Damn it, the king was so mean in order to achieve his goal that he actually deceived it. Fortunately, it was lucky and did not die at the hands of this human, otherwise, it would have died too unfairly.

The little flower snake became more and more scared the more it thought about it.

No, it must get the elixir that the Human King promised to give it, otherwise it will lose a lot of money.

Long Yi then remembered that the python had just given him a letter. He quickly opened it and found that it was written by the princess. The general meaning was that he should ask the python to take the purchased herbs back to Youzhou as soon as possible, because the people were waiting to be saved.

After seeing this, Long Yi immediately asked his men to tie all the purchased herbs to the back of the python and let it take them back to Youzhou to save lives. They would slowly think of a way to deal with the remaining herbs.

Long Yi knew very well that although he could not understand what the python said, the python could understand what he said. So he told the python all his plans and asked it to go back and report to the princess.

"Okay, I understand." After listening, the python nodded, then wiggled its long snake body, preparing to fly into the air.

Seeing that the king was leaving, the little flower snake became anxious. The elixir was not in its hands yet, and it couldn't let the king escape. It quickly swam out from the wall, jumped onto the back of the python, opened its mouth wide, and shouted desperately...

"My king, you can't run away. You still owe me the elixir."

The python looked back and got angry, hissing...

"Little flower snake, didn't I tell you that you can only get the elixir after your ancestors give you the elixir? How can I get the elixir for you now?"

Moreover, due to the sudden outbreak of the great plague, the ancestor had used up all the elixirs. Otherwise, the ancestor would not have sent General Long to sneak into the Dayao Kingdom to purchase medicinal materials.

It will take at least several months for our ancestors to refine the elixir.

After what happened just now, the little flower snake no longer trusted the big python. It wrapped its long and thin body tightly around the big python's back and said stubbornly, "I don't care. As long as you don't give me the elixir, I will follow you every day until you pay off your debt."

After a long time, it turned out that the little snake was afraid that it would run away.

The python was angry and helpless, and said...

"Little flower snake, I am your king, where can I run to?"

"I don't care. I will follow you until you pay off your debt." The little flower snake lay on it with a rogue look.

The python said: "Okay, okay, follow me if you want. If you fall from the sky and die, don't accuse me of murder."

The little flower snake's round eyes rolled around, and it said cleverly, "Then you should fly slower, my king, to avoid the little one falling to death. Then you will be charged with murder, which will ruin your reputation."

The python was furious: "You..."

If I had known this little snake was so troublesome, I wouldn’t have let it pretend to be a corpse.

At this moment, the python regretted deeply.

However, although it was angry, its flying speed slowed down significantly.

It doesn't want its reputation in the animal world to plummet because of this little snake.

As for Long Yi, with Xiao Ding's help, he really spent a huge amount of money to buy a large number of medicinal materials.

However, the owner of this clinic was very cautious. He was afraid that he would lose his life if the government found out, so he requested to do the transaction in the middle of the night and also required payment before receiving the goods.

When Long Yi heard this, he refused to do it, shook his head, and said to Xiao Ding who had returned...

"No, I've never heard of doing business where you pay first and then get the goods. Tell the shopkeeper that we pay first and then get the goods. Otherwise, cancel the deal."

Xiao Ding said with some concern: "What if they don't agree? We can't find such a large quantity of medicinal materials in a short time."

"General Long, don't forget that the people of Youzhou are in dire straits. They are eagerly waiting for this batch of medicinal herbs to save their lives. We can't afford to take this gamble. And have you ever thought about it? How many people will die if we delay the purchase of medicinal herbs by one day?"

Long Yi frowned and insisted, "Xiao Ding, stop talking. Just tell the shopkeeper what I want."

Seeing the general's determined look, Xiao Ding reluctantly replied, "Okay."

Jitang Medical Clinic.

In the accounting office.

Shopkeeper Li bent over and said to the middle-aged man sitting on the stool, "Boss, the man just now is obviously not from our Dayao country. If we really do this business with him and the government finds out, I'm afraid our lives will be in danger."

The boss smiled cunningly and said, "What do you know? Do you know why I asked you to tell him to collect the money first and then deliver the goods?"

Shopkeeper Li was stunned for a moment and said he didn't understand what the boss meant.

According to industry rules, the boss's request is indeed too bullying, and no one does business like this.

However, the government now prohibits the sale of these medicinal materials, and their clinic is taking a great risk. Although the owner's condition is unreasonable, it is understandable.

"Master, I don't understand, please teach me."

The host sneered and said, "I have already inquired about it. They sneaked into our army from Youzhou to purchase medicinal materials. Even if we took the money and did not give them the medicinal materials, they would not dare to make a fuss."

Shopkeeper Li was very surprised when he heard this, and asked quickly, "Does the boss mean to deliberately extort money from them?"

The boss glared at Manager Li unhappily and said, "Don't say such harsh words. The King of Youzhou and the Emperor are enemies. As a citizen, it is normal for them not to give them medicinal herbs."

Shopkeeper Li: “…….”

Boss, if you don't sell medicinal herbs to others, then you are extorting money from them. Isn't that the behavior of a mean person?

"That's what I said, but the people are innocent. They need medicine to save their lives. Is it really okay for us to take the money and not give them the medicine?"

The owner said impatiently...

"I have already made up my mind about this matter, so don't talk about it anymore."

He invited Manager Li to be the manager of the clinic because he thought that Li was honest and would not embezzle his money. However, when it came to doing business, he was not smart enough, which was a real headache.

Just at this moment, a waiter came in hurriedly to report that Xiao Ding had returned and asked to see Manager Li.

The boss waved his hand at Shopkeeper Li and said, "Go ahead and do as I say."

"Yes." Shopkeeper Li agreed helplessly, turned around and walked out.

On the surface, he is the one in charge of this clinic, but in reality, it is all the owner's ideas.

Xiao Ding saw Manager Li coming out and told him Long Yi's decision as soon as they met.

Upon hearing this, Shopkeeper Li was secretly delighted. Fortunately, the other party was smart enough to know that he had to pay first and then receive the goods.

Otherwise, he will be caught in the middle and become the bad guy.

Shopkeeper Li secretly glanced at the inner room. He knew that the boss was also listening, so he put his hand on his stomach and said in embarrassment: "I suddenly have to go to the toilet."

"Brother Ding, have a cup of hot tea first. I'll be back soon."

After saying that, he turned and walked into the inner room.

Xiao Ding was not stupid. He saw the secret, but he did not say it out loud. He sat there, drinking tea quietly, waiting for Manager Li's reply.

Inner room.

The boss was so angry that his face turned red because of Xiao Ding's words. He originally wanted to take the opportunity to blackmail Long for some money, but he didn't expect that Long was so smart and insisted on handing over the money and the goods.

He also said that if this condition is not agreed, there will be no deal.

The fat meat that was about to reach my mouth flew away.

The owner of the clinic was unwilling to accept this, and he looked up at Manager Li who came in to report and said angrily...

"Promise him that we will give him the money and the goods."

"Yes." Shopkeeper Li was happy. The boss actually agreed to give the medicinal materials to the buyer. That was great. The people of Youzhou were saved.

Afterwards, he went out and told Xiao Ding about the boss's decision. Xiao Ding was also very happy and hurried back to report to Long Yi.

Long Yi felt uneasy. At this moment, a clear voice rang out from the wall...

"Uncle Long, what are you worried about?"

Everyone looked up...

They saw a pretty little girl sitting on the wall, looking at them with a smile on her face.

Long Yi shouted in surprise: "Hey, Miss, why are you here?"

This is the territory of Dayao Kingdom. If discovered by others, it would be very dangerous for the young lady to be alone.

Huo Zhong jumped down from the wall and said in a baby voice...

"There's a plague in Youzhou right now. My beautiful mother and my brothers are busy taking the common people up the mountain to dig for medicinal herbs every day. They have no time to take care of me, so I came to see how Uncle Long's medicinal herbs are going."

Because so many people in Youzhou were sick with the plague, large quantities of medicinal herbs were needed to save their lives, and simply digging them up the mountain was not enough.

Moreover, the supply of medicinal materials on the mountain is limited, so we can only buy them from neighboring countries.

Speaking of the purchased medicinal materials, Long Yi felt heavy-hearted and told Huo Zhong what had happened in Dayou Kingdom.

Huo Zhong smiled, snapped his fingers, and said...

"Uncle Long, whether this matter is true or not is not simple. I'll let Little Mouse find out."

After saying this, she picked up the bone whistle hanging around her neck and blew it a few times.

A few seconds later.

A small gray mouse squeaked out from the corner of the wall, and then quickly came to Huo Zhong and squeaked...

"Little master, what are your orders?"

Huo Zhong: "Go to Jitang Medical Clinic and find out if they have any conspiracy against the herbs we want?"

"Yes, little master, I'll go right away." The gray mouse agreed, turned around and squeaked away.

Although Long Yi didn't understand what the gray mouse said, he heard Huo Zhong's words clearly and was ecstatic. The young lady's presence saved him a lot of effort.

"Miss, you must be tired after running all the way. Come in and have a rest." Long Yi winked at his men, signaling them to quickly pour tea for the young lady.
