Xuan Tianming's face turned stern, and he asked, "What happened?"
Deputy General Qian did not answer, but turned his head and looked at Feng Yuheng again. Xuan Tianming immediately said, "This is the Princess of Ji'an County. If you want to catch up with the Wilderness Chronicles, you have to be quick."
"Princess Ji'an?" The man seemed very surprised to hear this, "Are you really the Princess Ji'an?"
Feng Yuheng nodded, "I am."
"That's great!" Deputy General Qian kept rubbing his hands, feeling anxious and happy. "With Princess Ji'an here, the soldiers can be saved!"
Feng Yuheng's face suddenly darkened, and he stared at Xuan Tianming. They both asked in unison, "Is there a patient?"
Deputy General Qian Li knelt down with a thud and said, "I am guilty, please punish me, General."
Xuan Tianming said in a cold voice: "It's not time to talk about punishment now, you should explain the matter clearly first."
Qian Li then said, "This morning, I escorted the general out of the mountain. We didn't eat in the camp, so we escaped. But when I returned to the camp, I found that all the soldiers who had just finished their meal had fallen to the ground. Some were rolling on the ground, and some were already unconscious."
"How many people have been poisoned?" Xuan Tianming asked, "Has the cook been able to control the situation?"
Qian Li replied: "More than 80% of the people were poisoned, and the cook... was also poisoned."
The carriage fell silent for a moment. Xuan Tianming clenched his hands into fists, and anger suddenly rose. The whole carriage was filled with pressure due to his momentum.
Feng Yuheng stood up and went to lift the curtain of the carriage, and told Bai Ze outside: "Speed up, we have to get to the camp as soon as possible."
Bai Ze heard the conversation inside and whipped his horse whip, causing the carriage behind him to move forward rapidly.
In the carriage, Xuan Tianming was asking Qian Li to describe in detail the details of the soldiers' poisoning.
Qian Li thought for a while before speaking again, "When I returned, I saw a lot of people lying on the ground. Some of them were rolling on the ground with their hands on their abdomens, while others were already unconscious. I knew they were poisoned from the look of it. I rushed forward to take a look. Fortunately, those who were unconscious were just unconscious and not dead, but their faces were blue, they were foaming at the mouth, and their fingers were a little stiff. I don't know if they can hold out until we return. Those soldiers who were not poisoned were also anxious. Some rushed to the stove to find the cook to settle the score, but found that the cook was also poisoned and fell beside the pot. Two of the three medical officers in the camp were poisoned, and the other was helpless. He said it was poison and there was no cure."
Qian Li looked at Feng Yuheng as he spoke. When Feng Yuheng heard the word "poison", he actually took a breath of cold air.
His heart immediately sank.
Xuan Tianming raised his head slightly, with a rage in his heart that he had nowhere to vent. The medical officer in his camp had followed him to the battlefield in the northwest. His medical skills were so high that even the imperial doctors in the palace would be defeated. But now, two of them were poisoned, and one said there was no cure. How could this poison be so powerful?
"The 鸩 is a kind of bird." After a while, Feng Yuheng spoke quietly, "I thought this kind of bird only existed in historical legends, but I didn't expect that the 鸩 bird still exists in this era."
"Hengheng." Xuan Tianming turned to look at her, "Do you have any solution?"
Feng Yuheng did not answer, but asked in return: "How many people are there in the camp?"
Qian Li said: "There are 30,000 soldiers in the entire battalion."
Xuan Tianming also said: "I brought all of them from the battlefield in the northwest. I left some of them there to settle down, and these 30,000 followed me back to the capital, and we set up camp in the suburbs of the capital."
"Thirty thousand..." Even Feng Yuheng showed a trace of despair, "How many people were poisoned?"
"At least 20,000 or more."
She frowned, "There are too many people." Not to mention in this era, even in a modern hospital in the 21st century, if more than 20,000 patients suddenly poured in, there would not be enough doctors.
"Is there no way at all?" Xuan Tianming said sadly, "Heng Heng." The word "Heng Heng" was full of pleading.
Feng Yuheng took the initiative to hold his hand and explained to him: "There is a way, but there are too many people. I can't save them all by myself."
"Then go and bring all the doctors in the city to the camp." When Qian Li heard that there was a solution, he immediately became excited again.
But then, Feng Yuheng poured a bucket of cold water on him: "It's useless, they won't."
Xuan Tianming closed his eyes slightly. Maybe Qian Li didn't understand, but he could understand a little. Feng Yuheng said that others couldn't do it, and that was true. He had seen Feng Yuheng treat the Princess of Xiang before. Those strange things and weird methods were something he had never seen or heard of before.
But now...
"Let's go to the camp and take a look at the situation first." She sighed softly, and her mind was once again resolute in her idea of training an assistant.
The two carriages galloped towards the camp, and when they finally crossed the mountain, Xuan Tianming carried Feng Yuheng and used his Qinggong to climb up. When everyone appeared in the camp, the soldiers who were not poisoned and were anxiously waiting finally breathed a sigh of relief.
People gathered around Xuan Tianming and one of them said, "General, go and have a look. Many people are already... almost dying."
Xuan Tianming's heart tightened, and he didn't care about anything else. He simply slapped the wheelchair and flew to the camp using his Qinggong skills.
Feng Yuheng followed behind and soon saw the tragic situation in the camp.
Just as Qian Li said, some people fainted, some were still slightly conscious, but their bodies were twisted, their faces were blue and purple, and they were foaming at the mouth.
Qian Li told Feng Yuheng: "The situation is much more serious than when I came out. I'm afraid if we delay any further, it will be too late."
Some soldiers have already wiped away their tears. The emotions formed on the battlefield are different. As a soldier, one can die for the country and stain the border with blood, but wouldn't it be too cowardly to die of poison in the camp?
"Prepare an empty tent for me, quickly!" Feng Yuheng didn't ask any more questions and gave the order in a stern voice.
Qian Li was shocked and shouted, "Yes!" Then he ordered his men, "Quick! Prepare the tents!"
Some soldiers ran away quickly, but the rest were a little confused. Why would Qian Li listen to a child so much?
"This is the Princess of Ji'an County!" Qian Li naturally understood what his brothers were thinking, and quickly introduced her: "She is the second daughter of the Feng family, who is said to have even better medical skills than the great doctor Yao Xian back then, and is also the future princess of our general."
The soldiers were all excited when they heard this. Princess Ji'an had become very famous after the last winter disaster, not to mention the reputation of the old miracle doctor Yao Xian. Now the whole camp was in urgent need of help, and everyone knew what the appearance of a miracle doctor meant.
Then some soldiers took the lead and knelt down, saying with tears in their eyes: "Please, county lady, save our brothers."
As soon as he knelt, the others followed suit, including Qian Li. Then they heard people shouting in unison: "Please, Lady, save our brothers! Please, Lady, save our brothers!"
Feng Yuheng felt that this situation was too shocking. She had been a doctor for so many years and had seen people kneel down because they were cured of their illnesses, but this was the first time that so many people knelt down together and shouted the same words.
She looked up at Xuan Tianming, only to see that he was also looking at her. When their eyes met, she understood the same thing from his eyes - save his brother.
Feng Yuheng took a deep breath, nodded to Xuan Tianming, looked at the kneeling soldiers in front of him, and finally said loudly: "I will try my best!"
At this time, the soldier who had run away to prepare the tent had returned, shouting as he ran: "The tent is ready!"
Qian Li stood up first and asked Feng Yuheng: "What else does the county lady need to prepare?"
She said, "Tell the medical officer who is not poisoned to wait for me in the tent." Without exchanging pleasantries with others, Feng Yuheng walked towards the center of the camp, checking the conditions of those poisoned people along the way.
Bai Ze pushed Xuan Tianming and followed her, Ban Zou and Huang Quan also accompanied her, and Qian Li also followed closely.
...
After examining at least thirty people, she said, "We are still unsure whether it is poison or not, but the toxicity is rare in the world. I cannot guarantee that everyone can be saved, I can only say that I will try my best." As she spoke, she looked at Qian Li, "First, ask people to prepare water, and then organize the soldiers who have not been poisoned and wait outside my tent."
"I obey your command!" Qian Li answered quickly and ran away.
Feng Yuheng looked at Huang Quan, Ban Zou and Bai Ze again, "We don't have enough manpower, you have to help as well."
Bai Ze nodded, "Don't worry, Princess. We will do our best."
"How can I help?" Xuan Tianming took the initiative to speak, his expression no longer as lazy as before.
Feng Yuheng thought for a moment and said, "Come into the tent with me and help me distribute the medicine."
As she spoke, she walked towards the tent, until she arrived in front of the empty tent, where a doctor in his fifties was waiting. When he saw her, he was a little excited and said repeatedly: "I kowtow to the county lady!" As he spoke, he was about to kneel down.
Feng Yuheng quickly supported the man and said, "It's already this late, why are you being so polite? Doctor, please follow me into the tent. I need your help."
The old doctor nodded repeatedly, and as he followed Feng Yuheng into the tent, he said, "I used to follow Imperial Physician Yao Xian on his medical visits, and I admired him very much."
She understood. It turned out that he was an old acquaintance of the Yao family. No wonder he was so excited to see her.
But she had no time to reminisce with others. The three of them entered the tent together. As soon as she came in, she said to the doctor: "I don't know why the old gentleman is sure that it is poison, but this is not the key. The key is the treatment. I do have the fastest and most effective method, but that method is only known by me and cannot save more than 20,000 people. There is another method that can be used as an emergency measure, which is to induce vomiting."
"Induce vomiting?" The doctor nodded, obviously understanding Feng Yuheng's reason for inducing vomiting, but he also had his own considerations: "I have thought of this method, but firstly, it is too troublesome to make the vomiting soup, and secondly, we don't have any medicinal materials at the moment. The most important thing is that most of the soldiers are completely unconscious, so the medicine can't be poured in."
Feng Yuheng said in a deep voice: "I have the medicine, no need to boil it, but I need about a cup of tea to prepare it. As for those who are completely unconscious, it's okay, just use needles." She didn't explain much, just said to the doctor: "Go outside first and ask someone to separate those who can take the medicine from those who are completely unconscious, I will come later."
The doctor had been with the army for many years and was used to observing military orders like the soldiers. He did not ask too many questions and just did whatever Feng Yuheng told him to do. He left the tent immediately after receiving the order.
Seeing that Xuan Tianming was the only one left in the tent, she stepped forward and said seriously, "Xuan Tianming, there is something you have to promise me."
He nodded, "You say."
Feng Yuheng took a deep breath and said to him as if he had made a great decision: "No matter how strange you think my behavior is, don't ask anything, okay?"
Xuan Tianming agreed to her request without even thinking: "Okay." When he was with her, he had long learned to ignore her and said, "I know you are going to take out something strange from your sleeve again. Don't worry, I will just watch and not ask."
Feng Yuheng stroked her forehead. Her sleeves... well, her sleeves were truly magical sleeves.
Seeing that he had something to say, she didn't wait any longer, and put her right hand on her left wrist, her consciousness entered the space, and she quickly searched the counter. Soon, all the emetic drugs were gathered together by her, and she didn't even bother to open the packaging, and simply took out all of them at once.
Xuan Tianming watched her pull out piles of small boxes and bottles from her sleeves. The pile of things in front of her was like a small mountain, taller than her waist.
He couldn't help himself and said, "If you can, put them back in for me."
