Chapter 415: Anti-poison

The next day, the weather was half cloudy and half sunny.

The roof and the ground were clean and there was no trace of hail. Only the remaining water stains proved that it had indeed appeared.

Zhou Boxu was recuperating in the mansion, and Yu Zheng and Jiang Shu went to the military camp.

After arriving at the military camp, the two separated and went about their own business. Jiang Shu went to the rear service camp to handle the rear affairs, and Yu Zheng first went to the meeting account to discuss matters with the generals, and finally went to comfort the wounded.

The generals who were injured in the past two days were all injured by tigers or knives and guns. After taking medicine and resting, they will recover in time. The really tricky ones are the soldiers who were bitten by poisonous snakes before.

As soon as Yu Zheng approached, he heard painful wails coming from the tent.

Mo Mei tightened his eyebrows, and Yu Zheng stepped into the tent.

"Hello, Your Majesty." The military doctor saluted respectfully.

Yu Zheng glanced at the injured lying or sitting in the tent and asked about their conditions.

The military doctor said: "Mr. Du has been trying to use medicine. Although he has developed a medicine to reduce the toxicity, the consumables are expensive and it only treats the symptoms, not the root cause. It is not known how long it can extend the time."

The time is too short, and it is not easy to achieve this.

Yu Zheng noticed that there were a few people in the corner who looked peaceful, not as painful as the others, and he couldn't help but wonder.

The military doctor looked at the few people, shook his head and sighed, whispering: "They... are about to be poisoned."

Anyone who is poisoned by snake venom will feel increasingly severe pain, but before the poison takes effect and kills them, the pain will suddenly disappear, and the stiff and paralyzed limbs will also be relieved, as if the poison has been eliminated and they are about to recover.

At first, they did think so, until the poisoned person suddenly lost his breath.

The military doctor said sadly: "Every time this happens, the local generals in Yicheng will let them go back home, seize the last days to reunite with their families and say goodbye, and leave peacefully."

"Those who are too far away to return home can only spend their time in the army."

Yu Zheng heard this and looked at the few people in the corner. He found that although they were not in pain, they were full of sadness and despair.

It was the hopelessness of knowing that one was going to die, but being powerless and having to resign oneself to death. And the sadness of not being able to return home and see their loved ones again.

Yu Zheng couldn't bear to see them, so he walked up to them and talked to them, trying his best to comfort them.

The few people who were originally in mourning and dazed came back to their senses after hearing Yu Zheng talking to them.

"You have suffered, and I will definitely avenge you." Yu Zheng promised solemnly.

After hearing this, the few people were touched and said with hatred: "The people of Nanyan are insidious and vicious, and the prince must make them pay the price."

Yu Zheng responded solemnly.

After getting the promise, several people felt better and said bitterly: "I hope that Doctor Du can find a way to detoxify as soon as possible, so that the brothers will suffer less and lose fewer lives."

"Warriors should only die on the battlefield. It is really unwilling to die like this."

Although Du Zhong has not found a way to detoxify yet, he was able to develop a medicine that slowed down the onset of poison in just ten days. This is already very powerful. In their eyes, he is undoubtedly a miracle doctor.

All the generals and military doctors in the army placed their hopes on Du Zhong. They firmly believed that Du Zhong would be able to find a way to detoxify.

Yu Zheng pursed his lips, and when he was about to speak, the tent was opened, and Du Zhong and his men came in with several barrels of medicine.

"Everyone, get up, it's time to take the medicine." Du Zhong didn't know that Yu Zheng was in the tent, and greeted him skillfully as soon as he came in.

After seeing Yu Zheng, Du Zhong was a little surprised at first, and then hurriedly saluted.

"No need to be polite, old sir." Yu Zheng stepped forward to help him up.

Du Zhong was a strange man who did not flatter the powerful and was only obsessed with medicine. After greeting Yu Zheng, he stopped talking nonsense and got busy with his own work. He ordered the military doctor to divide the medicine and feed it to the patient, and observed the reaction after taking the medicine, without paying any attention to Yu Zheng.

Yu Zheng did not care and stood aside and watched quietly.

Du Zhong was old, his hair and beard were all gray, and although he was thin, he was energetic.

The poisoned soldiers were paralyzed in their hands and feet and could not take the medicine by themselves, so they had to be fed by others.

Du Zhong held the medicine bowl, regardless of his old age, and personally fed the wounded with medicine, carefully asking them how they felt, focusing and being responsible.

After feeding the medicine, Du Zhong stood up and prepared to call the military doctor to discuss the research and preparation of medicine, but was surprised to see Yu Zheng still there.

"Your Highness, haven't you seen enough?"

It was just a group of wounded people who were poisoned by snakes, what was there to see?

Yu Zheng was startled when he heard it, and he cleared his throat and said, "I wonder if the old gentleman is free, I would like to ask you a few questions."

Du Zhong knew what Yu Zheng wanted to ask, so he asked Yu Zheng to follow him out of the tent and go to the medicine tent where he was researching and preparing medicine.

Yu Zheng knew that Du Zhong was busy, so he didn't waste time talking and asked directly: "Are you sure you can cure this snake venom?"

Du Zhong glanced at him and frowned, saying: "This snake venom is strange and tricky. I have never seen it in my many years of medical practice. The military Chinese medicine is also very limited. I can only do my best, but I can't guarantee it."

Yu Zheng's heart sank when he heard it, and he asked a few more questions, and Du Zhong answered truthfully.

After hearing this, Yu Zheng thought: "I heard that the old man is good at using poison. I wonder if there is any medicine that can deal with tiger venomous snake poison?" If

there is no way to detoxify, then we can only think of ways to avoid being poisoned.

Du Zhong's gray eyebrows trembled when he heard this, and he praised with his fists: "What a good idea."

They only cared about finding a way to detoxify, but never thought about anti-poisoning.

If it can be solved from the root, it would be the best.

Du Zhong thought, "When I have time later, I will start making poison. I will let you know the result."

"Thank you, old sir." Yu Zheng was very grateful.

Du Zhong came to Yicheng in a hurry and to save people, so he did not bring poison with him and could only make it on the spot.

However, the Nanyan venomous snake is different from ordinary venomous snakes. Although Du Zhong has never seen it with his own eyes, he can judge from the descriptions of military doctors and generals, as well as the poisoning conditions of the injured, that the Nanyan venomous snake must have been fed with poison for many years, and ordinary poisons can't resist it.

Whether it is detoxification or poison making, it is not an easy task.

Time is precious, Yu Zheng stopped disturbing Du Zhong and turned to leave the medicine account.

After visiting the wounded, Yu Zheng went to the rear service camp.

Jiang Shu and Zhang Wei discussed the matter and were looking at the account book.

The number of casualties has increased greatly in the past two days, and the demand for medicinal materials is huge. The army has very little medicinal materials left and they need to be purchased urgently.

Another huge expense.

Jiang Shu calculated and calculated, the military pay was barely enough. But after buying medicinal materials and other expenses, it was not enough.

Yu Zheng entered the account and saw Jiang Shu frowning, and said slowly: "What's wrong? Did you encounter difficulties?"

Jiang Shu looked up, sighed after seeing Yu Zheng, and told him.

Yu Zheng said after hearing: "If it is not enough, use the private money of the palace to make up."

"That's the only way." Jiang Shu continued to look through the account book to calculate.

Yu Zheng sat aside, staring at Jiang Shu.

About a quarter of an hour later, Jiang Shu closed the account book and said: "It's done, does my husband have anything else to do in the army?"

Yu Zheng shook his head: "Nothing important for the time being."

"Then let's go back." Jiang Shu stood up.

Yu Zheng responded and went back to the general's mansion with her.

It was almost noon, and just as Jiang Shu and Yu Zheng returned to the yard, Ren Dong followed.

"Sister Lian Xuan, I succeeded." Ren Dong had a head of goose feathers and looked excited.
