Crushed Stone Fort

This is a massive project. Once it's completed successfully, this area will become a treasure trove.

Today, the border regions are characterized by barren land and harsh environments.

Zhou Wanwan strolled around the city and continued distributing porridge today, attracting more and more people to gather.

There were many sick people when suddenly someone exclaimed, "Oh no! Someone has been infected with the plague! Quickly, fetch a doctor!"

Upon hearing about the plague, everyone's expression changed drastically. Qin Shan ran over from not far away and said:

"My lord, an epidemic has been discovered in the city. The situation is very serious. It came from the neighboring county."

The city is under lockdown now, why don't you go and hide somewhere else?

Zhou Wanwan frowned and asked, "The pandemic? Is it that serious?"

Qin Shan wiped the sweat from his brow and said, "It's serious. They say it's the plague, which is highly contagious. We don't know how it got here."

The trees not far away said:

"The plague? We know about it! It came from the Great Qi Kingdom; those people did it on purpose."

They said that if you were infected with the plague, you would all die, and then there would be no need to fight a war.

Zhou Wanwan asked, "Where did the sound come from?"

A tree said, "The governor of the Great Qi border is named Lin Bahu, I think."

Lin Bahu?

Okay, okay, so this is some kind of biological weapon?

Zhou Wanwan looked at Qin Shan and said, "Take me to see what those people who have contracted the plague are like."

Qin Shan knelt down and said, "Master, you can't go."

Zhou Wanwan looked at him and said, "Why can't I go?"

"I'm afraid you might contract the plague, so I'll escort you out of the city now."

Zhou Wanwan waved her hand and said, "I have a way to cure the plague. Lead the way quickly."

Qin Shan wouldn't listen, so Zhou Wanwan snorted coldly and said, "Qin Shan, you're really something."

Qin Shan gritted his teeth and said, "If those old fogies at home knew I sent you to treat the plague, they'd skin me alive."

Zhou Wanwan said helplessly, "With me here, what are you afraid of? Don't worry, I really have a way to cure the little mouse plague."

Qin Shan ultimately had no choice; how could he disobey Zhou Wanwan's orders?

Of course not.

Zhou Wanwan put on a mask and went into the room. Zheng Xinghe stood beside her, trembling with fear. "Miss, can we really cure the plague?"

Zhou Wanwan nodded and said, "Curing the plague is quite simple."

For ordinary people to cure the plague is a pipe dream.

The plague is not an ordinary sore; the toxin has traveled through the bloodstream and permeated all the internal organs.

Zhou Wanwan looked at the Old Scholar Tree and asked, "Scholar Tree, do you have a way to expel all these toxins?"

The Old Scholar Tree said calmly, "There is a way, of course, but it takes a lot of effort."

Zhou Wanwan took out honeysuckle, forsythia, rehmannia root, peach kernel, Honghua, red peony root, and gromwell root, and then placed them on a critically ill patient.

Then, they slowly channeled their spiritual power into the medicinal herbs, and the herbs gradually seeped into their bodies.

The Old Scholar Tree, on the other hand, slowly extends its roots into a person's body.

Those roots are extremely fine, much finer than a needle.

Ordinary people can't see these roots entering the body and slowly absorbing the toxins.

Many of the roots inside the body turned black.

The Old Scholar Tree absorbed all those toxins.

After absorbing it, it frowned and said, "There's too much poison. People like this would surely be dead if it weren't for us."

Plague is terrible. Once it develops into pneumonic plague or septicemia, no medicine can save you, and most people die within 1-3 days.

These people are in very serious condition, and it's unclear how they managed to escape from the neighboring city.

In ancient times, in any country, the first reaction to the discovery of such a potent plague was to lock down the city and block news.

It could easily result in the entire city being wiped out, with no one spared.

The Old Scholar Tree quickly absorbed all the poison from the first person.

The man opened his eyes, looking completely bewildered, and said, "Where... where am I? Little one, who are you?"

Zhou Wanwan looked at him and asked, "Which city did you escape from?"

The man, with red and swollen eyes, said:

"I escaped from Crushed Sand Fort, where everyone was imprisoned."

I heard that everyone will be burned to death tonight. I have children at home; I have to go back and save them.

Zhou Wanwan said, "Crushed Sand Fort, right? Okay, I got it."

The Old Scholar Tree and the Old Ancestor moved very quickly. There were five people in total, and soon the poisonous blood on their bodies was cleaned.

When they came out, Qin Shan was startled and exclaimed, "Oh my! They're... they're alive? How did they do that?"

Doesn't he know how terrible the plague is?

Back then, several hundred of his soldiers were burned alive because they contracted the plague.

But now, not long after Zhou Wanwan went in, all of them were completely healed.

Zhou Wanwan asked, "Let's go to Crushed Sand Fort. Is Crushed Sand Fort far from here?"

Qin Shan looked at Zhou Wanwan and said, "Master, if we ride over on a big tree, it will only take the time it takes for an incense stick to burn."

Zhou Wanwan nodded, and soon, the Old Scholar Tree Old Ancestor led more than a dozen trees toward Crushed Sand Fort.

Qin Shan hugged the branches of the Old Scholar Tree and said:

"Too fast, too fast, it's like flying, hahaha."

If a war really breaks out, our speed will be absolutely unbeatable.

Anyone who works in a counterfeit village knows about these trees.

Now those trees have long since become an integral part of people.

Some things are much easier for a tree to do than for a person to do.

Moreover, these trees are much stronger than people and can do many things.

They arrived at their destination quickly, where a large crowd had gathered outside the Crushed Sand Fort.

They were all officers and soldiers. Qin Shan walked over and asked, "Which battalion are you from?"

Those people looked at Qin Shan and said, "Who are you? What are you doing here? Don't you know there's a plague around here?"

Qin Shan looked at him and said, "I am Qin Shan. Get your person in charge out here."

Upon hearing Qin Shan's name, those people were stunned.

Someone suddenly said, "Qin Shan, could it be that Qin Shan?"

"That... the God of War? Wow! I saw the God of War in person!"

Someone walked towards Qin Shan, looked him over, and exclaimed, "Hahahaha! I actually saw Qin Shan alive! General Qin, what brings you here?"

Qin Shan looked at the soldiers and asked, "Which general do you serve under?"

Soon a man walked in from outside. He was burly and looked at Qin Shan, saying, "This humble general Zhao Zilong, greets General Qin."

Zhou Wanwan suddenly laughed. Could it be Zhao Zilong of Changshan?

A tree nearby leaned over and said:

"This Zhao Zilong is quite good, brave and resourceful, but he's just too upright."

That's why they were driven to Crushed Stone Fort Crushed Stone Fort, the poorest place on the border.

The field was full of gravel; it was impossible to grow crops there.

The other tree said:

"However, this Zhao Zilong is quite good; he treats his subordinates well and is also very kind to the people."

That's why the people from the Great Qi Kingdom are targeting him.
