Chapter 377
Zhong Mo chased after him: "Princess!"

Wei Ying walks away.

"The general Wang is such a waste, how can we let Jiayuguan fall?!" Wei Ying was angry and anxious, and said to Zhong Mo, "Go and find out the front-line information on me, how many soldiers are there in Wu country, how many soldiers in our country, and, Wu How far has the country been attacked?"

"Yes."

Zhong Mo responded.

At this time, Li Yi also rushed into the palace, and he didn't care about saluting, so he said to Wei Rong: "Last night, Zhaojun led an army of 20 to raid Jiayuguan, while our army only guarded Jiayuguan with 10,000+. Caught off guard, Jiayuguan fell, and Zhaojun came aggressively. After entering the pass, he continued to attack the city. Within a few hours, he had captured five cities in a row. fall!"

"What?" Wei Rong shook, almost fainting.

"Quickly mobilize your troops, and lead another [-] soldiers to go head-on. Be sure to stop them!"

"Yes."

The state of Wei was in turbulent weather for a while, and it was almost summer, but Wei Ying felt the oncoming wind, biting to the bone.

Zhaojun himself is a general, with the left general on the left and Murong Yun on the right, and his elder brother has only one Li Yi, so this battle may be a disaster for Wei Guo.

According to his temperament, if this matter arises because of the land, it will inevitably rob Wei State of all the land!

Rice borer... She must develop a potion to control rice borer, so as to solve Wei's urgent need.

"Tell Imperial Physician Cui!"

After a while, Imperial Physician Cui walked into her bedroom.

"Get your luggage ready, hurry and go to a place with me!"

Just after noon, she led Imperial Doctor Cui into the carriage and asked Zhong Mo to take them to the valley he mentioned.

"Princess, why don't you stay in the king's city to advise the king? Now is the time when the king needs you the most." Zhong Mo asked puzzled.

Wei Ying said: "We are now fighting against the State of Wu. The chances of winning are not great. What I am doing now is to keep the State of Wei. I must get the bargaining chip to make Zhaojun retreat."

One day and one night, the three of them came to the valley.After searching around, there was only one small wooden hut in the valley, where I could temporarily stay. Zhong Mo packed it up, and Wei Ying had already started looking for rice borers everywhere.

There are some wild rice in this valley, there are rice borers, and there are also withered frogs. Because some withered frogs feed on rice borers, the withered frogs here are not flooded. There is a bird with a long beak that feeds on withered frogs, so the withered frogs are also relatively balanced.

Wei Ying brought all the herbs on the list last time. According to the method she learned on the farm, she crushed the herbs to make potions, mixed them one by one according to different concentrations, and numbered them sequentially.

She tried those medicines on those rice plants one by one, and pasted the corresponding number on each rice plant. After doing this, she fell asleep.

The bed in the wooden house was simply made of a few wooden boards, and it was very uncomfortable, but because she was too tired, she quickly fell asleep.

The first thing she did after waking up the next day was to look at the rice. However, to her disappointment, everything had no effect on the rice and the rice borers.

"Obviously it has a similar smell to dried frog saliva, why doesn't it have any effect?" Her heart sank, her brows furrowed tightly.

Doctor Cui walked towards her and bowed to her: "Princess."

"In traditional Chinese medicine, you can use several different prescriptions to treat a disease, right? Even if a medicine in a prescription is not available, it can be replaced by other medicinal materials that can have similar effects, right? "

"Yes."

"I don't know if Doctor Cui knows about creatures like dry frogs?"

"This..." Doctor Cui was stumped for a while, "What is a dry frog?"

Wei Ying spread out her palm, and Imperial Doctor Cui was startled, she was actually holding a withered frog inside.

"This is the withered frog." Wei Ying said. Doctor Cui looked at the withered frog in her hand, which was shaped like a withered leaf. "The withered frog feeds on rice borers. A few days ago, I discovered that the saliva of the withered frog can also Kill the rice borers. The last thing you smelled was the slightly diluted dried frog saliva."

Wei Ying took a deep breath, "Two years ago, our country sowed the eggs of rice borers in the country of Wu, so that now the country of Wu is plagued by insects, and the arable land cannot be cultivated. Therefore, now the country of Wu has plundered us after learning the truth. If we can develop a potion to control insect plagues, we may be able to prevent Wu Guo from madly retaliating against us. Therefore, I brought Imperial Physician Cui to this valley to research a potion that can kill rice borers."

"We can treat the dried frog saliva as a medicinal material. If we can develop a medicinal material that can replace the dried frog saliva, we will succeed."

Doctor Cui made a bow to Wei Ying: "The old minister understands."

Wei Ying and Cui Yuyi returned to the wooden house and continued to study the withered frog.Wei Ying is already familiar with extracting dried frog saliva.

"In ancient times, Shennong tasted hundreds of herbs and knew the efficacy of the medicine. It seems that it is not easy to find medicinal materials with similar efficacy." Cui Yuyi said.

Wei Ying immediately had goosebumps all over her body: "You mean, you want to taste the saliva of this withered frog?"

"This is the fastest way." Doctor Cui said, "But since this withered frog can poison the rice borer, it proves that its saliva contains a certain degree of toxicity. Why don't you ask the old minister to go back to the palace to check the medical books kept in the imperial pharmacy to see if it is poisonous? There are records about this medicine."

"It's too late." Wei Ying said worriedly, "I missed the period of planting in the Wu Kingdom, and those farmlands will be abandoned for another year. In this way, I will let other imperial physicians go to the palace to read medical books, and we will continue to experiment here."

"it is good."

Wei Ying sent a letter to Wei Rong, asking him to instruct the imperial physician in the palace to find out the introduction about the withered frog in the medical book, and all the imperial physicians were busy for a while.

At the same time, Wei Ying spent sleepless nights studying medicine with Cui Yuyi in the wooden house.They caught some wild rabbits for experiments, but with little success.

Finally, Wei Ying couldn't hold back, taking advantage of Imperial Doctor Cui not paying attention, she dipped a little bit of withered frog's saliva on her finger and tasted it on the tip of her tongue.

"Yes, there is a smell of grass..." Wei Ying said, then rolled her eyes and passed out.

"Princess! Princess!" Imperial doctor Cui panicked for a moment, and quickly felt Wei Ying's pulse, and then pressed down on her chest.

After a long time, Wei Ying woke up slowly, and the first thing she said when she opened her eyes was: "Doctor Cui, after I fainted just now, did you see the effect?"

"The old minister has memorized it."

Doctor Cui sighed, and said with a bitter face: "The princess must not take such risks in the future. Otherwise, the old minister will hardly be held accountable!"

Wei Ying chuckled.

"Just now, the princess' symptoms are somewhat similar to those of oleander poisoning." Doctor Cui said, "We might as well use oleander leaves to try."

"Really?" Wei Ying was instantly delighted.
