Monument of Life and Death

  Chapter 1072 Rhizoctonia

"The climate here is not as special as the bridge, and there are many plants that are hard to see elsewhere, so... we, Shuangjin, have always paid more attention to this place," Li Muyuan said while looking at the documents scattered on the ground, "It's just... because it is here after all. It’s Qiqiao’s territory, and Qiqiao has a normal relationship with us (to put it mildly), so no matter how interested we are, we dare not get too involved here, lest it cause unnecessary disputes.”

  Li Muyuan looked at the two of them, Luo Jiutian and the Taoist priest listened patiently, and nodded to him, expressing that they could understand.

"Later, someone found a way to buy bridge plants," Li Muyuan continued, "and we heard that the source of that path was the so-called No. 1 Hospital here... I always thought this hospital was The name was fabricated, but I didn’t expect it to be true.”

   "Since the people here have a way to get in touch with you, does that mean... this hospital also has some connection with Jiupai?" Luo Jiutian asked.

   "It's very possible," Dao Chang agreed, "However, Mu Yuan, this transaction doesn't sound like an illegal transaction."

   "If it's just selling the bridge without plants to Shuangzhen, then of course there is nothing to say," Li Muyuan said, "The problem is...they often break the contract, I don't know if you can understand..."

  Breach...Breach of contract...

   Is this hospital labeled as an "illegal transaction" just because of running orders?

   Seeing that the two really didn't understand, Li Muyuan bit his lip and pondered for a long time before he raised his index finger and came up with a specific example.

"Well, let me tell you one thing." Li Muyuan leaned on his desk and told the story, "A kind of algae is abundant here in Qiaomei, which is called Sisporum. I've also heard..."

   "I've heard," Luo Jiutian said cooperatively, "it seems to be a plant that has a miraculous effect on stopping bleeding and nourishing the body."

Li Muyuan nodded, "You're right, but, for most people, this Cyclobacterium is just an excellent hemostatic medicine, but for Jiu Tan, Cyclopyrus has some other medicines. usefulness…"

  Why did Tan Jiu's name suddenly come out?

  Luo Jiutian and Daoist didn't expect the direction of the topic, and they became curious.

   "What does it have to do with Jiutan?" Luo Jiutian's pupils quivered twice, and asked with concern.

   "You also know that Jiu Tan practices psionic transformation, and pays attention to in vitro exploration," Li Muyuan said, "Therefore, that silk spore can also play a role in consolidating psionic energy for Jiu Tan."

  The two suddenly realized.

   "So that's how it is..." The Taoist priest pondered for a while, and then said, "Then Jiu Tan suffered a disaster a few days ago, so he must have used up a lot of silkworms, right?"

"That's exactly what I want to talk about." Li Muyuan widened his eyes and slapped his thigh, "Just when we urgently needed a large amount of Cymbidium to build the foundation for the Nine Detectives, the Cymbidium that was missing from the bridge suddenly broke. It's out!"

   "Hiss..." Luo Jiutian became nervous when he heard it, "What's the reason for the out-of-stock? Didn't you contact them?"

"Of course we tried our best to contact each other, but those days, the people on this side of the bridge seemed to have disappeared, and we couldn't contact them no matter what," Li Muyuan said, "In the end, our people bought and collected silk from other areas at high prices regardless of the cost. Baozao is barely enough for the Nine Inspectors to use... But, of course, part of the reason is... there are not too many surviving wounded in the Ninth Inspector, after all, most of them are..."

   "It's really strange," Luo Jiutian became dissatisfied, "Did you contact them afterwards?"

   "It took a long time to get back in touch," Li Muyuan said, "They only said that they were busy with business and the supply was not enough, so they prevaricated us...just like the previous few times."

   "How many times before?" asked the Taoist priest, "Has this kind of thing happened before?"

Li Muyuan nodded again, "It happened, it's just that the medicinal materials we lacked in the past were not as significant as Cymbidium to Jiutan, so we just complained, but we didn't try to connect several things together. Now It seems...the people on this side of the bridge always like to cut off our supply when we are in urgent need of certain plants."

   "They may be monitoring the movements of the Nine Sects!" Luo Jiutian said excitedly.

   "But what is the purpose of their doing this?" The Taoist leader was very rational, "Thinking to blackmail Shuangzhen by cutting off the supply of medicines, and then blackmail the Nine Sects? Did they achieve their goal?"

"Of course it's impossible," Li Muyuan shrugged, "First of all, we usually stock up a lot of stock in our internal warehouse. If we can't stockpile medicinal materials, we will also explore multiple procurement channels, and we will never be blocked by one procurement channel. Damn, we will also look for substitutes with the same effect for those medicinal materials that only Qiaomei can have, so...to hijack the Nine Sects? It's just too naive."

   "That's it," said the Taoist priest, "then they must have other plans for this move."

What could it be?

   "Could it be like this?" Luo Jiutian whispered another possibility, "This bridge doesn't have the First Hospital, so it might not be a lie."

   Dao Chang and Li Muyuan looked at him.

"what do you mean…"

"They say that they are busy with business and the supply of goods is insufficient, so they may not be deceiving people." The more Luo Jiutian said, the more he felt that his assumption was true, and his confidence became stronger. "It's because they happen to be just like us. , At those times, those medicinal materials are also needed."

  The two gradually became clear.

  Qiaomi No. 1 Hospital, apart from supplying medicinal materials for Shuangzhen, also has other connections with Jiupai.

   It even said that it may be directly affiliated with the Nine Sects!

  Xiao Lan looked at the last paper moth flying towards her, and blinked innocently.

  Paper moths are like flowing feathers, swaying and flying in the faint light.

  Xiao Lan seemed to be able to hear the sound of it flapping its wings.

  Feeling the wind brought by those little wings...

  The last paper moth landed on the tip of Xiaolan's nose.

   "Xiaolan..."

  Xiaolan heard Yi Yao's call, but before Xiaolan could respond, the call suddenly became louder.

   "Xiao Lan!" Yi Yao shouted in horror, "You are floating!"

me?

  Xiao Lan hurriedly looked at her feet.

  Damn it!

  My feet have already left the ground, floating gently in mid-air like the flying moths not long ago.

  I did feel a little ecstatic just now, but that feeling is psychological, not...

   "Uncle Yi!" Xiao Lan immediately stretched out her hand, "Hurry up and grab me!"
