Qiao Bo stood up suddenly and shouted at the light: "Who is coming?"
"Brother! Are you the eldest brother? I'm the third child!"
The deep voice came from afar in the wind and snow, like the sound of nature!
"Third brother! It's me! The young master and the young mistress are here too!"
Qiao Bo instantly perked up and almost burst into tears at this moment!
Qiao Diyi's eyes lit up when he heard the voice, and he quickly grabbed Xiao Qianyue beside him.
Soon the flames got closer, and in addition to Qiao San, Qiao Jiu and Qiao Shisan also came!
With the support, the horror of the snowy night was finally over. Only then did Qiao Diyi remember that the half-dead Mo Yongsheng was still lying in the snow.
Qiao Jiu went forward and carried Mo Yongsheng on his back, and everyone led the horses back.
Only then did Qiao Bo realize that he had been heading in the right direction. As long as he persisted a little longer, he would be able to meet up with the general in less than half a quarter of an hour!
Yes, Qiao Zhongguo has arrived, two days earlier than originally scheduled!
All the troops stayed in Beiding City waiting for orders, while Qiao Zhongguo led the Qiao family army and a group of doctors through the gate.
They had not yet entered Wuding City, but had set up camp on the long road in Wuding, waiting for Qiao Diyi to bring back news.
After entering the tent, the sudden warmth made the people who were running in the snowy night shiver!
Qiao Zhongguo came forward and walked directly to Xiao Qianyue, handed her a cloak, and said with concern:
"Yue'er, come over and warm yourself by the fire!"
Xiao Qianyue was not polite and almost ran to the fire. The moment the hot air touched her face, she breathed a sigh of relief and felt like she was alive again.
Qiao Diyi rushed over and squatted in a row with Xiao Qianyue with a grin on his face.
In front of Qiao Zhongguo, the two of them lost their calmness and seemed to have returned to their previous selves.
Doctor Zou was also in the tent at this moment. Qiao Bo quickly handed Mo Yongsheng to him and explained his identity in a few words.
Doctor Zou stepped forward to take a look and was shocked. "Wow! It's been torn into this state!"
Qiao Diyi turned his head, his brows suddenly darkened, "He deserved to die, and he is still alive just to give an explanation to the people of Wuding!"
Upon hearing this, Qiao Zhongguo lowered his eyes and glanced at Qiao Diyi. He vaguely realized that there was something different about his son.
He stepped forward and patted Qiao Diyi on the head, "Tell me what you have learned."
Qiao Diyi immediately narrated what he had seen and heard in the upper reaches of the Wuding River. When Doctor Zou heard this, he suddenly stopped bandaging the wound.
"Yes..."
He murmured.
Qiao Zhongguo asked hurriedly, "Doctor Zou, what do you think?"
When Doctor Zou stood up, his face was full of resentment and his whole body was shaking uncontrollably.
"The plague often affects livestock. If I'm not mistaken, the shadow that Master Qiao saw in the river might be the livestock that died of the plague!"
"If we cut it open or leave it to rot while it's still hot, and then hang it in the river, the disease will spread along the river. If anyone drinks the river water, especially the weak, they will be hard to escape!"
"The disease spreads very quickly. Once one person is infected, it spreads to other people, eventually leading to the current predicament and harming tens of thousands of people in Dayong!"
"How heartless! The northern bandits... the northern bandits are truly inhumane beasts!"
Doctor Zou scolded loudly, tears welling up on his old face.
Qiao Zhongguo was standing aside, and when he heard this, his fists clenched so hard that they made a clattering sound.
"Mo Qiandai, what a great Mo Qiandai!"
Everyone in the account was extremely angry, but Qiao Zhongguo was the first to calm down and make arrangements.
Soon, orders came out from the tent, and the people who would enter the city tomorrow were selected.
That night, Qiao Zhongguo kept Doctor Zou and handed him a wooden box.
Doctor Zou looked puzzled. He reached out and opened the box, which was filled with several porcelain bottles. He opened one of them and saw two or three black pills inside.
"Master Qiao, what is this?"
Qiao Zhongguo's eyes were gloomy, and he said in a serious tone, "Doctor Zou, this is a pill that can cure all diseases. One pill can last for a month. Give it to all the doctors tonight, and we will all go into the city together tomorrow."
"Immune to all diseases?"
Upon hearing this, Doctor Zou first widened his eyes, and then laughed out loud.
"Master Qiao, if there really is such a miracle drug in the world, what do we need doctors for? If you want to use it to boost morale, this is not a good idea."
Qiao Zhongguo's expression remained unchanged when he heard this, he just stared at Doctor Zou.
Doctor Zou was dissatisfied when he saw this. "Master Qiao, are you worried that those doctors will flee from the battlefield? I have been in contact with them all the way, and I can see their determination and--"
At this point, Doctor Zou suddenly couldn't continue.
Because Qiao Zhongguo looked at him with such a firm look, without any hint of joking.
His heart trembled slightly, "Master Qiao, you..."
Qiao Zhongguo looked serious and lowered his voice and said, "Doctor Zou, don't ask me where these medicines come from. You just need to know that these medicines are really hard to come by."
"This epidemic is a man-made disaster, but also a test. My Qiao family has already done our best. I ask Doctor Zou to take this medicine and swallow this matter."
Doctor Zou's hands suddenly trembled. He didn't think that Qiao Zhongguo would joke with him on such a big matter.
Immunity to all diseases?
Is there really such a miracle medicine in the world?
At this time, Qiao Zhongguo handed over another porcelain bottle, then held down Doctor Zou's trembling hands and said in a deep voice:
"Doctor Zou, don't get too excited. I still have a magic pill here that can cure the epidemic, but it's too precious and there are very few of them."
"Wonderful... a miracle cure? Can it cure epidemic diseases?" Doctor Zou was completely stupefied.
Qiao Zhongguo nodded and said, "I don't know how this medicine is made. You can take it and have a look. If you can replicate it, that would be great. If not, perhaps this battle against the epidemic... will be very long."
This is what Jiaojiao means.
This medicine was obtained through good deeds. Where did it come from and what was it made of? Even Jiaojiao was confused. If it contained unpredictable divine power, it would be impossible to replicate.
If it is made from herbs that are suitable for their condition, then it would be a blessing from heaven.
Anyway, it's worth a try!
When Doctor Zou came out of Qiao Zhongguo's tent, every step he took felt like he was stepping on cotton, as if he was dreaming.
He didn't know why he believed Qiao Zhongguo's lies. He took the wooden box in a daze and promised to give it to each doctor tonight.
This.....This...
Did Qiao Zhongguo lie to him?
Doctor Zou looked confused and turned his head to look at the big tent.
Qiao Zhongguo couldn't possibly be thinking of killing them with drugs, right? So these pills shouldn't kill people.
Never mind, he’ll eat one first!
Doctor Zou hurried back to the tent, poured out a pill of "Invulnerability to All Poisons", looked at it in the candlelight for a long while, but could not see anything.
He thought about it, put the pill on the table and cut it open. It was dark inside and didn't smell like anything special. He licked it and it tasted a bit sweet!
Doctor Zou took a deep breath, hissing——
He probably owed Qiao Zhongguo something in his previous life, which was why he had to work like a slave for him in this life, and even had to test for poison!
Okay, eat it!
Doctor Zou picked up the pill and swallowed it in one gulp. He didn't taste anything, and the medicine had already entered his stomach.
He sat there for a long time and never felt any discomfort.
Doctor Zou scratched his head, and finally took the wooden box and went to the tent where the doctors were resting...
