In a large warehouse nearby, just emptied, gold mining vessels were shuttling back and forth.
The medicinal herbs brought back from the Great Tang were undergoing a tense inventory check.
Li Yannan, along with experts from the health care team and leaders from the Southeast Military Region General Hospital, watched it all.
Various medicinal herbs were piled into small mountains before their eyes.
The unique aroma of medicinal herbs filled the entire warehouse.
Several elderly experts' eyes were as wide as ox eyes, their mouths agape, almost wide enough to fit an egg!
"My goodness! All these medicinal herbs are wild!"
"Look at those ginsengs, they are at least three hundred years old!"
"That's right, I've verified them too. They are all top-grade medicinal materials! I even saw a thousand-year-old Huangjing! That's something that only exists in legends!"
"How much do they trust us? Don't they know not to flaunt wealth?"
"Perhaps those two lying in the ICU have distinguished identities in the Great Tang?"
"I think I heard those people call the man Duke, and the woman Madame Tong, but I've searched all the Tang dynasty history books and found no record of these two!"
"Are you an idiot! Did the Tang dynasty have such aircraft? It's obvious that the Tang dynasty they are from is not the same Great Tang we know!"
"Alright, alright... they said it was a parallel world. Since it's a parallel world, anything is possible!"
"Yes, yes, why dwell on these things? In short, we will definitely make a profit from this deal!"
"Have they verified that green soup they brought? Can it enhance the medicinal effects as they claimed?"
"................."
Li Yannan listened to the experts' discussions, standing aside without making any comments, but the joy on his face was unconcealed.
He was following in his father's footsteps. His father, Li Chengzong, was growing weaker day by day.
As the former commander of the Southeast Military Region, he could enjoy the best medical resources in the country. However, his old injuries were not something that ordinary medicinal herbs could treat.
Precious medicinal herbs like these were not only rare in China but also sought after all over the world.
In recent years, the influence of traditional Chinese medicine has grown, and medicinal herbs that once grew deep in the mountains and forests were being harvested without any scruples by some people.
What was most hateful was that Western countries, in their attempt to understand why traditional Chinese medicine was so magical, resorted to all sorts of means to seize China's medicinal resources.
Due to these multiple reasons, medicinal herbs over a hundred years old had almost become extinct!
And these medicinal herbs were now in his hands!
He could imagine his father regaining his vigor and chasing him around the courtyard, swatting him with his big ears, just like when he was a child.
Thinking of this, a expectant smile appeared on Li Yannan's lips.
This was not masochism, this was fatherly love that was like a fan.
Yes!
Pure fatherly love.

Cheng Yaojin personally went to find Yuan Tiangang.
"Your Majesty, I've brought him!"
"This old fellow was smoking a cigar while touring their ammunition depot. When I arrived, their soldiers were almost scared to pee their pants!"
Upon his return, Old Cheng complained to Li Shimin.
Yuan Tiangang glared at him dismissively.
"What's there to be afraid of? Didn't they say those things had safety measures? Can smoking a cigar blow them up?"
Li Shimin smiled, a hint of killing intent in his smile.
"True Master Yuan, I hear you like to stir up trouble?"
Yuan Tiangang: ..........
"Is Your Majesty misunderstanding me?"
"What I do is create miracles, not stir up trouble!"
Li Shimin waved his hand, "If the True Master says it's a miracle, then it's a miracle."
"I am planning a trip to Japan. Would True Master Yuan care to accompany me?"
Those two from...
"Do you believe I'll tell my elder sister what you just said?"
Chai Shao: ............
Damn it!
It's not that Old Chai doesn't want to go, it's just that he feels uneasy being with this scoundrel Yuan Tiangang...
But thinking of Li Xiuning's formidable presence, he couldn't help but shiver.
"Fine, fine, this humble subject will risk his life to accompany you!"
The emperor and his ministers, along with Yuan Tiangang, conferred for a while before leaving the military hospital.
Li Yannan had soldiers stationed there to do his bidding. Led by one of these soldiers, the group headed straight for the warehouse where the medicinal herbs were stored.
