Chapter 55 A glimpse
"The same poison!"
Wu Shijie chewed over these words, then looked at the palace doctor: "You may be able to cure this poison now."
“Yes.”
“How toxic is this poison?”
"Within two hours, the poisoned person will surely die."
Wu Shijie asked seriously, and the court doctor answered seriously as well.
After saying this, Wu Shijie estimated the time, turned his head to look at the guard standing beside the bed and said, "Xiao Wu, quickly go to the palace to ask for help. Tell them that I was attacked on my way home and was poisoned."
"Yes." After answering, a man in black clothes quickly left.
After the man left, Wu Shijie looked at the court physician, Li Shan, and said solemnly, "Doctor Li, please go and prepare the antidote right now. Ask Xiaoliu to find anything you need. I'd like you to keep the fact that you can cure this poison a secret."
Hearing this, Li Shan exclaimed: "Sir!"
At the same time, the two men in black clothes standing in the room stared at Wu Shijie with wide eyes, disapproving of him taking such a big risk. They even showed regret for not blocking the arrow for Wu Shijie...
"Do as I say. The person behind this is most likely the one we suspected of collaborating with the enemy before, so you must remember not to be impatient." As he spoke, Wu Shijie looked at the three of them very seriously.
"yes."
After the three responded, Li Shan and a man turned around and quickly walked out of Wu Shijie's bedroom, and hurried towards Li Shan's pharmacy in the Minister's Mansion.
After the two left, another man in black clothes in the room looked at Wu Shijie, who was frowning, and whispered, "Sir, these people actually used the poison unique to Qinglan Country. Is there any hidden meaning behind this?"
At this time, Wu Shijie was lying on the bed, his face turned from rosy to blue, and a black line was spreading on his exposed arm.
This poison has an unrecognizable name, but those who have been poisoned by it remember it vividly and even dare not think about it.
The reason is that before a person is hit by it, he will feel weak all over and no pain at all before he dies. The only characteristic is the black line spreading from the arm.
When the black line goes down from the shoulder and falls on the heart, it means that the poisoned person is about to die.
Because of the characteristics of this poison, people named it "Yixiantuo".
What this means is that if you can control the trace of this black line, then the poisoned person can still be saved, otherwise all he will have is a coffin and some paper money.
Although he had seen this kind of poison once before, the black-clothed man's eyes still shrank, and he looked anxiously at Wu Shijie lying on the bed: "Sir..."
"Nothing. Xiaoyi, go meet Xiaoer and the others. This time it took a little while..."
"Sir, I'd better stay here and take care of you."
"That's fine. Just go get Xiao Shiyi to take care of me. Go ahead and do it."
The man in black clothes, Xiaoyi, received Wu Shijie's cold gaze, responded immediately, and then left quickly.
Not long after, Xiao Wu and a guard with a scimitar hanging on his waist, carrying an old man, flew into Wu Shijie's courtyard.
As soon as he landed, the old man hurriedly asked, "Where is Lord Wu?"
Xiao Eleven, who had come over after hearing the noise, saw the three people and hurriedly said, "Imperial Physician Qin, please come this way. The master is in the house."
Hearing this, Old Man Qin walked quickly into the room, came to the bed, and first put his hand on Wu Shijie's wrist.
Later, he lifted up his shirt and saw the black line that had spread to his upper arm. He exclaimed in surprise: "Master Wu, you actually found a clue here."
Without waiting for anyone to speak, Old Man Qin continued, "Master Wu, I can only suppress this poison. If you want to remove it, it will take some time."
Xiao Wu, who was standing by, hurriedly asked, "Doctor Qin, how long can the poison be suppressed, sir?"
"One day at most. I've studied this poison before, but the antidote hasn't been developed yet, so..."
Listening to Old Man Qin's words and looking at his furrowed brow, the guards who had brought him here with Xiao Wu became nervous when they heard the "slightest clue". They looked at Old Man Qin and asked, "Imperial Physician Qin, Sir Wu's poison..."
Imperial Physician Qin raised his hand and waved, whispering, "Commander Gao, please report to His Majesty. This old man can only do his best to cure this poison."
"Imperial Physician Qin, how confident are you?"
"If an antidote is not developed within one day, Lord Wu will be in danger."
"Lord Wu, I'll leave the matter to Imperial Physician Qin. I will go back and report to His Majesty." After saying this, Commander Gao bowed to Wu Shijie who was lying on the bed, and then left quickly.
Xiao Wu took Imperial Physician Qin to the pharmacy of the Minister's Mansion to prepare drugs to suppress the toxicity for Wu Shijie.
At this time in the pharmacy, Li Shan had already prepared the antidote for Wu Shijie and was just waiting for Wu Shijie's order.
Li Shan, who was sorting medicinal herbs, saw Doctor Qin and Xiao Wu coming over and hurried over to ask, "How are you, Doctor Qin..."
Just as he said hello, Imperial Physician Qin raised his hand to interrupt Li Shan and said anxiously: "Military Doctor Li, I need some medicinal herbs."
"Doctor Qin, what do you need? Just tell me and I'll do it right away."
"Okay, I need..."
In the following time, Imperial Physician Qin read out the names of the medicines, Li Shan was in charge of preparing the medicines, and Xiao Wu and Xiao Liu were in charge of grinding the powders...
After an incense stick of time, a group of four people carrying medicinal powder quickly headed towards Wu Shijie's courtyard.
After Wu Shijie took the powder to suppress the "One Line Trace" effect, Imperial Physician Qin kept observing Wu Shijie's condition. He only breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the black line had stopped spreading.
The next second, Imperial Physician Qin took Li Shan back to the pharmacy and started tinkering with it...
On the other side, Commander Gao returned to the palace and reported to the current emperor Wu Zhu, then waited respectfully on the side, awaiting the instructions of the man at the top of the pyramid.
After hearing Commander Gao's report, Wu Zhu frowned deeply.
Wu Shijie was actually poisoned by "Yixianzong", a poison that is only found in Qinglan Country, and this poison was once banned by Qinglan Country for a period of time.
Unexpectedly, he now appeared in the capital of his Wuxi Kingdom.
It just so happened that the person who was poisoned was the Minister of War, who had been in office for less than a year and was personally appointed by him.
Could it be that these people are coming for Wu Shijie?
At this time, no matter who told him that this was just a coincidence, he would not believe it even if they beat Wu Zhu to death.
Qinglan country
Could it be you who took action this time?
What on earth made you use this poison?
Could it be that Wu Shijie has found out something since the last battle with Qinglan Kingdom?
Wu Zhu thought carefully in his mind. He felt that these people’s goal was very clear, which was to target Wu Shijie, and he was the kind that had to be eliminated.
It must be that Wu Shijie did something to make them feel dangerous, or perhaps Wu Shijie had something on them...
No matter which one it is, Wu Zhu hopes that Wu Shijie will be safe. Although this man has a bit of a temper, he is a master in arranging troops and has received the true teachings of General Xu.
Wu Zhu then ordered with a gloomy face, "Commander Gao, quickly lead your men to Minister Wu's residence. First, ensure Minister Wu's safety. Second, quickly investigate the attack on Minister Wu. Report any news immediately."
