Chapter 486 Fiancé
Liu Yiyi frowned as she looked at Chu Xingsheng, then it suddenly occurred to her.
"Medicine for wounds!"
Chu Xingsheng quickly asked, "What kind of wound medicine?"
Liu Yiyi immediately said, "The wound medicine in the army is very slow to take effect, which greatly increases the difficulty of treatment and the pain of the soldiers, so I replaced Xiaoliancao with Guijianchou."
Chu Xingsheng also frowned, "Although using Ghost-Seeing Sorrow sounds dangerous, I know its effects. I trust the dosage of the medicine prescribed by Chief Physician Liu. How could there be a problem with this wound medicine?"
Liu Yiyi shook her head and said, "It's not that there's a problem with my wound medicine. I'm afraid that other herbs might have been mixed in during the preparation of the medicine and would clash with the Ghost-Seeing Sorrow."
Chu Xingsheng nodded, "I will bring all the medicinal materials in the warehouse that are used to make wound medicine."
The medicinal herbs were delivered.
Liu Yiyi checked them one by one.
There is nothing wrong with the medicinal materials.
She poured out the powdered wound medicine to check it again, but there was still no problem.
Isn't it a problem with the wound medicine?
At this moment, a physician named Honghua walked over and pointed to one of the herbs, saying with a puzzled look, "This doesn't seem to be Arisaema."
Another physician, Honghua, came over, picked up the herb, and smelled it. "This is definitely not Arisaema heterophyllum; it's Nine Deaths Grass."
Liu Yiyi frowned. "Nine-Death Grass? Isn't that only found in the border regions? The Nine-Death Grass can't survive in the climate of Jin Kingdom."
Her expression turned serious the moment she finished speaking.
When used properly, this "Ghost-Seeing Sorrow" is a good medicine, but it clashes with this "Nine-Death Grass".
She had only seen it in medical books and never expected it to be so similar to Arisaema heterophyllum.
However, the Nine Deaths Grass did not belong to the State of Jin; these herbs came with Chu Xingsheng.
Liu Yiyi looked somewhat nervous. She said to everyone, "We must keep this matter confidential and not let the morale of the army waver. I will immediately write a prescription for Physician Chu to treat the poisoned soldiers."
After she finished writing the prescription, she sent someone to find Xiao Saijin.
Xiao Saijin and the two met fully armed.
"What happened to Xiaoliu?"
Liu Yiyi said softly, "Your Highness, what follows is just my guess, but I hope you can hear me out."
Xiao Saijin nodded as he looked at Liu Yiyi's serious expression.
"I suspect that there may be someone in the court colluding with the enemy."
Xiao Saijin immediately frowned. "What do you mean?"
Liu Yiyi hurriedly said, "Now the princess has captured more than a dozen cities in succession, and the defeat of the Chu army is a foregone conclusion. After the Chu army is annexed, the Jin army will become the strongest country, which will be of no benefit to all the people of Jin. However, poisonous herbs that can poison the soldiers have been mixed in with the herbs that came from the capital. These poisonous herbs can only be found in the border areas. At this time, the only country that wants to cause great chaos in our army is the enemy country. And among them, someone is helping the enemy country."
Xiao Saijin smiled at Liu Yiyi, "That girl really doesn't keep idle people around her. Even a doctor can see such a deep problem. Leave this matter to me, and the soldiers in the army are in your hands."
Liu Yiyi nodded, "Thank you for your trouble, Princess."
After learning that the problem lay with the medicinal herbs, Chu Xingsheng spent every day trying to recall where someone could have mixed in the poisonous herbs.
He personally supervised the transportation of these herbs.
Knowing the cause makes treatment much simpler.
After several days of tireless work, the soldiers were finally cured of the poison.
Qin Shi'an's army was already close to the capital of Chu.
Heavy snow fell.
It will keep the war between the two countries at bay.
The Jin army set up camp to rest and recuperate.
Qin Shi'an opened the tent and looked at the snow falling from the sky.
The lark draped a large fur coat over her.
"Princess, today is New Year's Day."
Qin Shi'an watched the soldiers patrolling outside.
"When they returned home, it was springtime and the flowers were in full bloom."
At this moment, Yun Jin came in carrying a bowl of hot soup.
"Princess, princess, quickly drink some hot soup to warm yourself up."
Qin Shi'an took the soup bowl.
Yun Jin touched her ear and said with a smile, "Princess, let's go for a walk after the battle is over."
Yun Que looked at Yun Jin and said, "You went to listen to Old Li bragging again."
Yun Jin said with a grin, "I haven't been to any of the places Old Li mentioned."
Qin Shi'an finished his soup and asked, "Has Yun Que thought about going anywhere?"
Yun Que thought for a moment, "If possible, I would like to go back to Guigu."
Yun Jin immediately said, "Yes, yes, I buried silver under the old locust tree! I have to go back and dig it out."
Qin Shi'an nodded, "Then let's go together after the war is over."
Yun Jin immediately cheered, "When we bring Yun Ge and Yun Shan back, we'll be reunited."
Soldiers in the barracks wrapped themselves tightly in cotton-padded clothes.
They gathered together to listen to Old Li talk about everything under the sun.
The soldiers chuckled and said, "Old Li, after listening to all you've said, why haven't you mentioned your family?"
Old Li has a scar on his face from a fire.
He said with a smile, "My parents are just ordinary people. I have a fiancée. I will go back and marry her after I finish fighting the war."
The soldiers laughed and said, "Then when we win the battle, don't forget to invite us to your wedding!"
Old Li smiled and said, "Definitely."
The snowfall was exceptionally heavy.
There was a subtle sense of encirclement.
Qin Shi'an issued an order to strengthen security.
In such weather, if the State of Chu were bold enough, they might launch a night attack.
Just as the soldiers were falling asleep, the sound of an enemy attack rang out.
The Chu soldiers seemed to know the location of Qin Ye's camp.
They launched a clear attack on Qin Ye's camp.
While fighting the enemy, the group quickly ran towards Qin Ye's camp.
Qin Shi'an led the group to provide support first.
Suddenly a shout came from behind: "Young Master, be careful!"
Qin Shi'an stabbed the enemy soldier behind him with a backhand.
She turned around and saw Old Li running towards her.
In the Jin state army, only Qin Jinzhi could be called the young master.
The Chu soldiers immediately surrounded the man.
However, Qin Shi'an was surrounded by many skilled fighters, so they could not get close to him for the time being.
At this moment, Lao Li also rushed to Qin Shi'an's side, appearing to protect him.
After a long and bloody battle, the enemy finally retreated while fighting.
Just as Qin Shi'an turned around, a sharp, piercing sound suddenly came from behind him, which abruptly stopped.
Qin Shi'an turned around and saw Old Li raising his sword to stab her.
Blood dripped from the sword onto the ground.
Qin Shi'an suddenly looked up.
"Uncle Shou!"
Shouzong gripped the sword that Old Li was thrusting at him tightly.
He kicked Old Li.
"Take it down!"
Old Li immediately had several ribs broken by the kick.
He was grabbed by the crowd with a ferocious expression.
"Why did you try to assassinate the young master! Traitor!"
Old Li's face was contorted with rage. "So close! So close! I could have avenged Xiaohua!"
Looking at Old Li's disfigured face, Shou Zong recalled the image of a man holding a girl who had jumped into the river and was crying incessantly.
"You are...her fiancé?"
The fiancé of the woman who was raped by Qin Bo's son and drowned herself.
Old Li roared, "Xiao Hua and I were about to get married! It's all Qin Ziyi's fault! If he hadn't sent that beast to deliver congratulatory gifts to Xiao Hua's family, Xiao Hua wouldn't have died!"
Shouzong immediately roared, "Shut up! You are not allowed to insult the Crown Prince!"
