Peerless little medical concubine

Chapter 271 Cold Gu
Because Mawang City is located outside the western frontier, it is surrounded by mountains on all sides, which is equivalent to Mawang City being located in a depression.

"My lord, calm down, we still have the strength, and sooner or later we will beat those people to pieces!" A staff officer under King Mingzhao carefully looked at the angry King Mingzhao, and could only comfort him in a low voice.They lost 12 soldiers and horses in this battle, which can be described as terrible!

Many of the [-] soldiers and horses are still disabled, and less than [-] are really usable!If you want to mutiny with this force, well, stop dreaming.

"My king has been preparing for so many years, but the first battle was blocked by that bastard! I don't know who my own father is, so I work so hard! I don't even think about the position that he will never be able to sit for him. Yes!" Ming Zhao Wang slapped the table fiercely angrily, his forehead was still wrapped with gauze, and his whole face was flushed from the sun.

The staff officer thought that what King Ming Zhao said was just angry nonsense, so he didn't pay much attention to it, and just persuaded him blindly.It's a pity that the situation is gone!

I thought those poisons could accomplish great things before, but I didn't expect that they would turn against others!
"My lord, why don't you give a letter of divorce to the queen mother?" Although King Mingzhao rebelled, the queen mother is still the queen mother of Daqin. As long as the queen mother and Emperor Zhaowu don't really fall out, then this straw can still save lives!

Hearing this, King Ming Zhao's tiger eyes sank. "The last time the queen mother came to study, she was already under house arrest by the emperor. If she wants to come out and speak for the king, it may not be so easy."

The staff officer rolled his eyes, as if he had thought of some best way, he leaned into King Ming Zhao's ear and whispered.

"This method is too risky." After hearing what the staff said, King Mingzhao frowned.

"Oh my lord, this person who does big things doesn't care about trivial matters, I'm afraid she also hopes to do something for you."

"Let me think about it." King Ming Zhao still didn't immediately agree.

"My lord, King Ling's army has overwhelmed the city!"

"You little bastards, you want to kill them all, go, you must guard the city gate no matter what, and you can't let them in!"

"Yes."

"My lord, if you don't make up your mind, you won't be able to drive!" The staff officer looked anxious, he had been with King Mingzhao for many years, if King Mingzhao lost, then he would go to hell.

King Ming Zhao clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, finally nodded with red eyes.

Wei Lingxiao's army had already been to the west for two months, and the food and grass they had brought before were almost used up, but the imperial court had not sent the food and grass for supplies for a long time.Now is the most critical time. If the food and grass run out, it means that all the previous efforts will be in vain.

"My lord, our food and grass can last up to ten days. If it is later, there will be nothing left." Lieutenant Lu has been lying on the wooden bed for more than ten days, and he has long been unable to sit still. He has already led the soldiers We went to catch a few games.When I came back, I overheard some soldiers complaining that they didn't have enough to eat every meal, and I couldn't help feeling a little worried.

It stands to reason that they have all been here for two months, but the supplies of food and grass have not arrived for a long time.Although he doesn't farm the land, he also knows that Daqin is having a bumper harvest this year. How could it take so long to collect food and grass?

He, a general with a low status, doesn't like those disputes in the court, but it doesn't mean he doesn't know.This time, if King Ling wins the battle and returns, I don't know how many people will be unable to sleep at night.

"Father said that the grain and grass are already on the way." It should be said that the grain and grass were on the way ten days ago.But now there is still no confirmation as to when it will arrive.

"According to their way of going, I'm afraid they won't arrive in a month! The soldiers are serving the country, so let them eat mud?"

Wei Lingxiao tapped the table lightly with her white fingertips. "Don't worry, within ten days, the king will definitely send the food and grass."

"Hey, my subordinates know that you have a solution, my lord."

Wen Yuan has already arrived at the barracks, and he has been treating Wei Lingxiao's cold poison for the past few days.

"Mr. Wen, is there really no way to get out this cold gu?" Ning Erlan asked with a solemn face, looking at Wen Yuan who was sitting at the table looking at the herbs.

A few days ago, Wen Yuan was brought here to diagnose Wei Lingxiao, and the conclusion she got confirmed her previous conjecture.This time, it wasn't the medicine that triggered Wei Lingxiao's cold poison, but Gu!
Miaojiang's unique cold gu!
Wen Yuan continued to fiddle with the herbs in his hand, hearing what Ning Erlan said, he didn't even lift his eyelids.For the past few days, he has been asked the same question every day.He didn't want to answer anymore.

Even if it is a dish, if you eat too much, you will get tired of it.

"Wen Yuan, I really can't believe you are already an uncle in his forties..." Seeing that Wen Yuan ignored her, Ning Erlan sat across from him, propped her face with her hands, and said seriously.

Hearing this, Wen Yuan's hands thumped, and there were faint veins throbbing between his forehead.He almost made a slip of the tongue, otherwise Ning Erlan wouldn't have picked up on this topic and joked about it every day!
The day before yesterday he inadvertently told Ning Erlan about collecting herbs in the mountains, it was nothing.The important thing is that he added a sentence at the end, "That was almost 40 years ago, and I was only seven or eight years old." So far, he has completely exposed his real age!
"You are a big man who can take such good care of you. You look like a boy in his early twenties. You really are..." Ning Erlan continued to add embellishments.

"Actually, it won't necessarily be a bad thing for him to be hit by the cold gu." Finally, Immortal Wenda couldn't help but speak.

Seeing that she had achieved her goal, Ning Erlan stopped joking and became serious. "Could it be that the cold poison can swallow the cold poison in his body?" That is to say, the cold poison in Wei Lingxiao's body can be eaten by the cold poison Gu, and the poison gas can be concentrated.If so, in some respects, this is indeed a good thing.

"Yes, but..."

"But what?"

"After the cold poison has been devoured by the cold poison, it will have nothing to eat, and then it will bite back. It is to spit out the poisonous gas in its body again. Every time it spits out, the poisoned person will have more cold poison than before. The pain is ten times more painful. Repeatedly. In the end, the poisoned person will only be tortured to death by himself."

"Then, there is no way to draw it out when the Gu worm is about to vomit poison?" If such a thing really happened, she couldn't imagine what it would be like.

Wen Yuan glanced at Ning Erlan who was anxious, and suddenly felt that her expression pleased him.So he put down the medicinal herb in his hand, and said very seriously: "Yes, there are. But they are all recorded in ancient books, and I have never actually seen them."

Ning Erlan didn't want him to keep her secret. "What is the solution, tell me quickly."

"There is a kind of flower juice that can hang the cold Gu worms out. But no one has seen this kind of flower with their own eyes. So I don't know if it really exists." He said, throwing a yellowed book Show it to Ning Erlan.The page that was opened happened to record cold gu.

"This flower is called Nether Flower. According to legend, it is a demon flower that grows on the other side of hell."

No one has ever seen it, and I don't know if it really exists...

"How did this cold poison enter his body?" Ning Erlan asked after closing the book in her hand to calm down a little.

"Actually, cold Gu worms can survive under any circumstances, but they will not enter a person's body at will. Only people with strong cold energy in their bodies or people who have been poisoned by cold poison can attract Gu worms."

In this way, it will be much more difficult to find out who brought the cold gu into the barracks.

"Is there anything different about people who have been exposed to cold gu, such as leaving a special smell on their bodies?"

Wen Yuan bowed his head in thought for a moment, then took out a small bottle from an alley and handed it to Ning Erlan. "You take this. Whoever smells it and feels dizzy and nauseated within half a quarter of an hour, it means that he has been exposed to cold gu."

Ning Erlan raised her eyebrows, she had to say that this Miao Gu is indeed a mysterious domain.In the future, she still needs to learn more from this handsome uncle.

There seemed to be a bottleneck in the battle, King Mingzhao was guarding inside Mawang City, and King Ling was attacking outside.The two sides were at a stalemate, and for a while they didn't see who took advantage of whom.

Wei Lingxiao only attacked the city on a small scale because he was worried about food and grass.If he sends troops to attack Mawang City on a large scale, and if the food and grass cannot be supplied afterwards, then they will only have a dead end.

"My lord, a spy has come to report that the food delivery team has encountered bandits." A man dressed as a guard in black came in and said in a deep voice.

The strange thing is that Wei Lingxiao didn't show a worried look when he heard him say that, but simply said something, knowing it, and asked people to back down.

He is calm, and others can't be as calm as him.

"My lord, what should I do, these bandits are too bold, they even dare to grab the military supplies! None of them want to die..."

"Yeah, these people are really hateful!"

"Be safe and don't be impatient. This king said that the food and grass will arrive within the stipulated time, and it will definitely come."

"Okay, you don't need to say much, as long as you act according to what this king said, you will not go wrong."

"Yes."

What they didn't expect was that the supply of food and grass was indeed delivered within the time Wei Lingxiao expected.It was not someone else who sent the food and grass, but the sixth prince, Wei Ziqiao, who had always ignored political affairs!
"Fifth Brother, I didn't let you down this time, did I. This food was brought here for you through all my hard work."

Wei Lingxiao looked at him with raised eyebrows, as if implying him to continue talking.

"Hey, fifth brother, guess this time the father sent people to escort the food and grass? It was the deputy commander Ma who was in charge of the Bianjing Imperial Guard. When the younger brother saw him, he was drinking and eating meat in the tavern. He didn't know what happened on the battlefield. How many soldiers need these grains!"

"So their team encountered bandits, and Deputy Commander Ma died... You happened to pass by and took over. You rushed here without stopping before the people your father sent again?"

"Fifth brother is smart!"
