Bai Zhi took the letter at home. And as soon as she entered the yard, she sat down in a bamboo chair and pulled out the letter inside the envelope.

The letter said that he was fine in the barracks. He didn’t explain things clearly about Zhou Xiaofeng, he just mentioned him casually.

The letter looked like your ordinary letter for the family. But Bai Zhi found some anomaly in the fine lines of the letter. Hu Feng was born as a prince. He was both good in studies and martial arts. Why would he write a letter with this level? And there were many unnecessary words added in the sentences.

Bai Zhi got up and went to the second floor. She put down the letter on her desk and took out a piece of paper. She copied all the suspicious words that she didn’t think were necessary and rearranged them.

Sure enough, as she expected, there was a letter in this letter.

These seemingly useless words sentences were the letters Hu Feng wrote to her.

The letter said that his enemy wanted to kill his men before Marshal Wang arrived in the northwest. Zhou Gang and Fu Zheng were in dire straits and their lives were in danger. He wanted to rescue them as early as possible. It was unrealistic to get living people out in the barracks. So he was asking her if she had a medicine that could fake death.

A medicine that feigned death, of course, she knew one, and she can do it well. She has won a prize in modern times because of it. She won a cash prize worth 1 million. Many pharmaceutical companies want to cooperate with her, but she refused them because she was unclear about their intention. Producing them in large quantities may lead the world in chaos. She doesn’t want to a sinner.

But the question is, even if she successfully made this medicine, how will she give it to Hu Feng?

Bai Zhi suddenly remembered Doctor Lu’s ointment. He said he needed to deliver to a thousand copies of it in the barracks.

Bai Zhi’s beautiful lips curved into a smile. She had thought of a brilliant idea.

After folding the letter, she hurriedly went outside and saw Zhou Awu and the others had returned. Bai Zhi handed the letter to Hu Changlin: “This is Hu Feng’s letter. I need to go out. Wait for Xiaofeng to come back, and then let him read it for you.”

Zhao Lan busily pulled her and asked: “Everything is done, where are you  going?”

Bai Zhi replied: “Isn’t Li Bo sick? I need to get his medicine.”

When Zhou Awu heard her say she was going out to get medicine, he hurriedly prepares the carriage.

Zhao Sue went inside the house and took out the remaining buns this morning, and then shoved them in their hands: “Eat on the road, don’t starve yourself.”

Bai Zhi grabbed the bun and took a bite: “My sister-in-law is very kind.”

Zhao Sue was very happy, she said: “Look at you, your mouth is filled with honey.”

Bai Zhi got into the carriage and took out three prescription letters. She will buy these herbs in three different pharmacies. This prescription was a top-secret, no one must discover it.

Zhou Awu got confused with her actions. When he saw that she finally bought everything, he couldn’t help but ask: “Zhi’er, you can buy all these in the largest Medical Hall in the town. Why bother buying them in different places?”

Bai Zhi threw the medicine packs into the carriage and mysteriously smiled: “You don’t understand it, this involves a secret formula, so if you bought everything in the same shop, doesn’t it equivalent to exposing the original formula to the others?”

Zhou Awu had some realization: “I see. What you said is true. But what’s this secret formula? What’s so good about it that you need to keep it a secret?”
