A Cai's work: The Emperor's Phoenix: The Godly Doctor and the Abandoned Concubine ... Volume 1 1451 Snow Blindness, Beiling's Plan

The border between Dongling and Beiling was already very cold, but when Feng Qingchen stepped into Beiling, he realized that the cold at the border was nothing, because Beiling was still covered with snow, giving Feng Qingchen a feeling of traveling through time in an instant.

There was a thick layer of snow on the official road. There were very few mountains and trees on both sides. The terrain was at the same height. Looking around, it was a sea of ​​white, so bright that people could not open their eyes.

On the official road, walking in the front was the Beiling General Situ, who led five thousand men to clear the way. In the middle were Princess Anping's dowry and accompanying personnel, as many as two thousand people.

Except for the Ninth Prince and the Eighteen Riders of the Si Family, the other two thousand men were supposed to stay in Beiling and could not return to Dongling, including Feng Qingchen.

In the end, it was Beiling's troops, more than 3,000 people. Beiling would not allow Dongling's troops to enter Beiling, let alone go to Beiling's imperial capital.

The five thousand troops escorting the Ninth Prince will temporarily stay at the border. When the Ninth Prince returns to Dongling, they will escort him back to the Dongling Imperial City.

The Ninth Prince and Feng Qingchen walked in the snow for three days, and several of the dowry had eye discomfort. There was a military doctor accompanying the Beiling army, and the doctor diagnosed that it was due to acclimatization, and that they would be fine after two days of rest.

Feng Qingchen knew that these people must have suffered from snow blindness from looking at the snow for too long, but she had no chance to talk to the Ninth Uncle, let alone treat them.

In the past few days, not only Feng Qingchen, but also the Ninth Prince has been watched by the Beiling people. Wherever they go, there are Beiling people following them, making it inconvenient for them to do many things.

Although they were dissatisfied, they had no other choice. Once they arrived at someone else's territory, they had to be managed. They had no soldiers, but Beiling had 8,000 tall and strong men.

Strength determines everything. On the surface, the other party is respectful enough to them. They can only fight back in private if they see any small actions behind the scenes. Otherwise, if they fall out and start fighting, they will be the ones who suffer.

That night, when everyone entered the city, Feng Qingchen finally found an opportunity to tell the Ninth Uncle about the snow blindness and its symptoms.

If snow blindness is discovered early, it will not be serious and can be cured by two days of rest. However, if you look at snow again, you will suffer from snow blindness again, and it will become more and more serious, and you may even go blind.

“You mean, the people of Beiling knew about it but deliberately didn’t tell us?” After all, the Ninth Prince was a martial artist, and since he didn’t keep staring at the snow, it didn’t have much of an impact.

Feng Qingchen nodded: "It's no wonder that people in Beiling don't know this. Look at the hats they wear. There is a layer of black gauze in front of the brim. That black gauze is used to block the light from the snow."

"What do the Beiling people want to do?" Blind them all, or blind him?

It takes one and a half months to walk from the border to Beilinghuang. If they didn't understand the symptoms of snow blindness, many people would indeed become blind, including himself.

"I don't know, but it's definitely not a good thing." Feng Qingchen felt that it was very likely that this matter was directed at the Ninth Prince, because only the Ninth Prince was worthy of that.

Beiling is very short of food. If someone offers food in exchange for the life of the Ninth Prince, they will definitely take the risk.

The people of Beiling are good at fighting, but because it is extremely difficult to grow food in their environment, they have always purchased food from the Three Kingdoms and Nine Cities.

In order to prevent Beiling from becoming stronger, Dongling united with Xiling, Nanling and Jiucheng to strictly control the grain sold to Beiling, so that the people of Beiling could barely survive. If there were too many people, they would starve to death.

Beiling's population cannot but increase, but the price of grain sold to Beiling refuses to increase. In recent years, Beiling has been relying on smuggling to buy grain and barely maintain survival.

However, the price of smuggled food was extremely high, and the people of Beiling had to risk their lives hunting and collecting herbs to exchange for enough food to barely survive.

In order to buy food, Beiling is getting poorer and poorer, and tens of thousands of young men die every year. If this continues, Beiling will be trapped to death in the snow without the need for the Three Kingdoms and Nine Cities to send troops.

Obviously, the Ninth Prince also thought that Beiling was targeting him this time. Princess Anping and Feng Qingchen were sitting in the carriage, and the possibility of snow blindness was extremely low. Those dowries were of no value, and the most valuable one was him.

"You want to blind me?" The Ninth Prince snorted, "I will grant their wish. I want to see what these people are going to do."

After walking for another two days, the Ninth Prince also complained of eye pain, and the military doctor came to see him and found that he was indeed suffering from snow blindness. However, the military doctor still gave the same advice, asking the Ninth Prince to rest for two days and not to stay in the carriage all the time, but to look outside from time to time and get used to it.

Let a patient with snow blindness look at the vast white snow. The person who caused the problem is either a quack or he is out to kill for money. Obviously, the person is the second one.

The Ninth Prince nodded expressionlessly, as if he accepted the other party's opinion. As soon as he returned to the carriage, the Eighteen Riders dripped the cold milk prepared by Feng Qingchen on the Ninth Prince.

Once you have snow blindness, you can use fresh human milk or fresh cow's milk to drop into your eyes, 5-6 drops each time, once every 3-5 minutes. The milk used must be boiled and cooled thoroughly before use.

If there wasn't a countermeasure, Feng Qingchen would not have let the Ninth Uncle take the risk, because the Ninth Uncle really did suffer from snow blindness, but it wasn't that serious.

In order to avoid arousing the suspicion of the people in Beiling, the Ninth Prince looked outside from time to time, but his eyes were not fixed on the snow, but on the wheels of the carriage.

He didn't want to be really blind.

The people who were secretly monitoring them had no idea that the Ninth Prince already knew of their plan, and were calculating when the Ninth Prince would be unable to see.

After walking for another seven or eight days, many people in Dongling felt sore eyes and could not see, so the Eighteen Riders took turns pretending to do it. In short, the purpose was to dispel the vigilance of the people in Beiling.

The people of Beiling did not show any abnormality along the way until one day when the Ninth Prince said that he could not see. Then the people of Beiling reacted. However, this reaction was also out of concern for the Ninth Prince. They asked to take a shortcut to get to the imperial capital as soon as possible and let the imperial physician treat the Ninth Prince.

As a person who suddenly became blind, the Ninth Prince certainly had no reason to refuse, so Feng Qingchen and his group decided to take a small path.

The trail is no longer flanked by empty plains and endless snow. Instead, there are mountains and trees on both sides of the road, and you can even see tree branches occasionally.

Since changing to the smaller path, people in Dongling no longer complain about eye pain.

Although General Situ did not have to worry about their safety on the road, he could not guarantee that they would be able to find a town to stay in every night as they would if they took the official road.

On this day, the snow fell heavier and heavier, the sky gradually darkened, and there was no sign of life ahead. The group could not go any further and could only find a clearing in the forest and set up a makeshift tent to shelter from the wind and snow.

The soldiers of Beiling were of course not afraid, as such a little snowstorm would not have any effect on them. It only made life difficult for the people of Dongling, as even the Eighteen Riders had never seen such a snowstorm.

"He is really not an ordinary person." The eighteen riders looked up at the sky together and realized for the first time how incompetent they were.

Fortunately, there were people from Beiling who arranged everything, otherwise it would have taken him half a day to even make a fire in the snow. Those who can survive in Beiling are real men!

They admired the perseverance of the Beiling soldiers. If these Beiling soldiers had not plotted against the Ninth Prince, perhaps they could have become friends...
