Chapter 164: Throwing Fire
His head was in a daze, his body was shaking, and he had exhausted all his energy.
"Your Highness Prince Yi can go back and rest now." Tang Mao appeared beside him at some point.
"Are you done?" Zhou Chang walked back and forth, and finally collapsed on the rattan bed.
"It's completed. Only the last batch is left. The garrison battalion will be done once they count the numbers." Tang Mao's face was also pale, and even under the firelight, there was no trace of blood, but there was obviously a bit of ease in his eyes.
Zhou Chang's head was in a mess, and he couldn't think straight. He looked up at the night sky above him. The bright moon was still hanging quietly in the sky. "What time is it now?"
"It's past the hour of Yin, and it's almost the hour of Mao." Tang Mao replied, then he suddenly straightened his expression and bowed solemnly, "The soldiers of the Imperial Guard have fulfilled their mission, and I am reporting to His Royal Highness Prince Yi."
"No, no, it's all thanks to my brothers in the Imperial Guards." Zhou Chang barely stood up with the help of the skinny monkey, took a deep breath and stretched his muscles.
Looking at the west side of the training ground, the fires in the fifty large black pots had been extinguished, but most of the people had not left yet. Under the torches, people were sitting or lying on the ground, quietly waiting for the results.
"Let's go and take a look." Zhou Chang suddenly felt a surge of emotion in his heart.
Zhou Chang walked over accompanied by Tang Mao, with the sleepy Skinny Monkey and Gao Yuan who was always energetic.
As soon as he arrived near the carriage for the handover, Zhou Chang was startled by Zhong Yu's expression: "Why is Mr. Zhong still here?"
Zhong Yu's face, which usually looked a little sick, was now completely bloodless, as if he had been buried in a grave for three days and had crawled out on his own. His eyes could not be described as dark circles, but rather a little light was still holding on in the darkness. He was focused on his work: "I am worried about you, so it is better for us to keep an eye on things like this."
"Mr. Zhong, you should go back and rest." Zhou Chang's words of concern sounded fake at this time. He thought to himself that he should find a few more people to help Mr. Zhong, but he couldn't help but ask, "Are you clear about the number?"
"Ahem..." Zhong Yugang was about to answer, but he covered his face with his sleeves and coughed non-stop. After a while, he finally spoke, "Yes, I know everything. I also asked them to sign the document. I have to make sure there are no mistakes or omissions."
The reason why it can be done so quickly is that the final product used is the finished product blended by the four medicine shops, which is then packaged and delivered on site.
"Sir, you should have a good rest for a few days when you go back, and then find a few more people. Don't do anything that is too strenuous." Zhou Chang felt very distressed.
Her heart was trembling as she stood here and spoke now, let alone someone with a physical condition like Mr. Zhong.
"Thank you for your concern, Your Highness." Even though Zhong Yu was weak and frail, he always remembered to be polite.
-Action: Villain Voice
There was still the last part to go, so everyone stopped talking and just watched the garrison battalion load boxes onto the carriage.
"That's enough. You've already wasted so much time. We're about to set off at dawn. You can't be held responsible if you delay." In the distance, an impatient voice was very abrupt in the middle of the night.
Zhou Chang looked over and saw that the people from the Ministry of Revenue and the Imperial Pharmacy were still confirming the handover with the garrison battalion.
After three days and three nights without sleep, no one would be in a good mood. Zhou Chang stepped forward and said directly: "That makes sense, so you soldiers who are delivering supplies had better speed up your journey like the imperial guards who have been working day and night for the past three days, and strive to deliver the supplies to the frontline soldiers as soon as possible."
The person who spoke earlier didn't know who the visitor was, and was about to open his mouth to refute when he was stopped by Wu Zhi.
"Greetings to His Royal Highness Prince Yi. I didn't expect that His Royal Highness Prince Yi would still be here so late." Wu Zhi gave a wink to his colleague who was speaking, and then saluted Zhou Chang.
"Hmph, I am not as comfortable as my brothers in the garrison camp. This batch of frostbite cream cannot be delayed. There is no need to waste time to pay my respects." Everyone is capable of being sarcastic. Zhou Chang now used all his strength to vent his anger.
No matter what Wu Zhi thought in his heart, he could only endure it and forced a smile: "Yes, I have completed the handover and will leave now."
Zhou Chang was filled with irritation and anger. "Listen carefully, this batch of frostbite cream is the key to the key. If it is not completed on time and leads to the defeat of Lin State, it will be my responsibility. But now it is completed. If you cannot deliver it in time and lead to the loss of this battle, I will never let you go."
"Your Highness Prince Yi is saying..."
"Your Highness Prince Yi is right..."
The imperial guards, half-lying and half-sitting, who were already exhausted and collapsed on the ground, all started to make a noise.
"If we didn't have this batch of frostbite cream, it would definitely not work."
"Now that we have it, our country will win."
Although my body was tired, I was still breathing hard and could speak.
"Yes, I'll set off right away." Wu Zhi was really embarrassed, but he couldn't confront her, so he could only swallow his anger and agreed to retreat.
The imperial guards dragged their tired bodies to see them off, not forgetting to ridicule: "Don't be too late, it will delay things if you are late, but you are incompetent..."
The garrison battalion quickly loaded the trucks and left in disgrace with 10,000 bottles of frostbite cream.
+ Action: Final Confirmation of Victory
Zhou Chang watched the first batch of "products" he produced personally leave.
Whether it is making money or building a career, it is easier said than done.
"Brothers of the Imperial Guards, please save some strength so that you can have enough energy to have fun the day after tomorrow." Zhou Chang finally let out a sincere smile.
The imperial guards raised their arms and cheered with their last bit of strength: "Long live His Royal Highness Prince Yi, long live..."
Zhou Chang was deeply moved when he saw the tired yet pure faces in the firelight: "Everyone has worked hard for the past three days, go back and rest, and invite Yuefang to enjoy the evening the day after tomorrow."
Tang Maoze advised: "Brothers, it's enough. Go back and rest first. His Royal Highness Prince Yi hasn't had a good rest for three days and three nights. When you have enough rest, there will be good things waiting for us."
"Long live His Royal Highness Prince Yi, a thousand years and a thousand thousand years..." The imperial guards cheered again.
Zhou Chang had never been embraced like this before, and he was really flattered, even his cheeks were burning. Fortunately, it was late at night and there were lights all around, so it was not easy to notice: "Okay, okay, let's all go."
Afterwards, she did not want to stay in the palace, so she took Zhong Yu and others back to the palace.
As we walked out of the east gate of the western parade ground of the imperial palace, a cool breeze blew and everyone shivered.
The skinny monkey looked around: "Huh? The Yuan family's carriage is gone? There have been people guarding nearby for the past three days."
"Yuan family?" Zhou Chang was surprised and looked around subconsciously, "Who is from the Yuan family? Are they here too?"
The moon shone on the white marble pavement of the square, reflecting a cool light. Instead of being dark, the surroundings were bright enough that you could see far away.
At the end of the open space in front of the West Parade Ground is a long road, which is empty and no one is there.
The skinny monkey pointed in the direction of the road: "It was originally over there, three carriages, and they have been there for the past few days."
"What? You mean it's always been here?" Zhou Chang was panicked.
And Prince Yi's consciousness was clearly controlling a pair of eyes that were still searching. "For some people, being poor has become a chronic disease that makes their eyes blind and they can no longer see the beauty of the world.
Even if some people are rich, they are blind. They probably exchanged their ability to see beauty for money.”
