"Your Highness, it's one of Prince Yong's men." Upon hearing this, Eleven's anger intensified. "How could he treat you like this?"
Others might not know, but how could Eleven not know? Prince Yong was practically raised up by his master!
Originally, it was a backup plan for himself, but unexpectedly, Prince Yong betrayed him and started his own rebellion!
Whenever she thinks about this, Shiyi feels sorry for Xiao Rui.
Xiao Rui smiled faintly, "Since he has already betrayed me, he naturally won't allow me to live."
Especially now that he has made it clear that he wants to compete for that position, if he were Prince Yong, he would also make the same decision to kill the other party before he becomes a threat.
Eleven felt uneasy and remained vigilant, her gaze towards Lu Yanzheng filled with complex emotions.
When Lu Yanzheng hesitated at first, he thought that General Lu also wanted to abandon his master. But he never expected that in such a dangerous situation today, it was all thanks to General Lu that he was able to hold on.
“Go back and tell Prince Yong,” Lu Yanzheng said to the leader with a frosty expression, “If you want to be the master of Dayue, then show your true abilities and fight openly!”
After saying that, he sheathed his longsword, but with his other hand he threw out a dagger, killing one of the men in black on the spot!
"You! You..." The leader had already retreated three zhang away, his expression somewhat flustered at the sight. "You'd better think this through. Our prince hasn't even used the gunpowder weapons he bought from you..."
His blatant threat was met with a cold laugh from Lu Yanzheng. "Why don't you ask Prince Yong why I dare to sell him gunpowder weapons? Bring it on!"
The leader was stunned for a moment, then his heart sank.
The reason why they are willing to sell such a powerful weapon to them is naturally because they have something to counter them!
"Aren't you going to get lost?" Lu Yanzheng suddenly shouted.
The men in black who were still alive quickly retreated, with the leader glancing back at Lu Yanzheng before turning and leaving even faster.
"General Lu, why did you let them go? You could have..." Before Eleven could finish speaking, Lu Yanzheng, leaning on his longsword, suddenly knelt down on the ground.
"General Lu!" Xiao Rui suddenly stepped forward, wanting to help Lu Yanzheng up.
Lu Yanzheng waved at him, but the moment he looked up, he suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood, "Pfft..."
"General!" Lu Yanzheng's personal guard rushed forward. "You need to find a place to recuperate immediately!"
Outsiders might not know, but the personal guards who had followed Lu Yanzheng for several years did. Lu Yanzheng had also been poisoned, but he had inherited Marshal Qin's internal martial arts skills, which allowed him to temporarily suppress the poison.
The general let those men in black leave just now because he knew he could no longer suppress the toxins in his body; it was a helpless move.
Lu Yanzheng remained calm, waved to his personal guards, and then looked at Xiao Rui and said, "Your Highness, please forgive me for not being able to accompany you to Qinzhou."
"General, you are truly righteous!" Xiao Rui immediately cupped his hands and said, "Today, General, you saved our lives. We will surely repay you in the future!"
Lu Yanzheng shook his head slightly and said nothing more.
With things having come to this point, the two sides had no choice but to part ways. Xiao Rui continued on to Qinzhou, while Lu Yanzheng led his personal guards to take a shortcut to the border town.
"General, why do we need to return to the border town?" Yang Meng, the fifth son of the Yang family, asked, puzzled.
Lu Yanzheng said, "Since Prince Yong failed to kill Xiao Rui this time, he will definitely make trouble for Biancheng or Yongshan County. I must go to Biancheng first no matter what."
The main reason was that he didn't want Jiang Qinyu to see him injured.
This poison is probably not so simple; he needs to make sure he doesn't look too disheveled before seeing her.
...
Jiang Qinyu, who knew nothing about this, was currently discussing with Doctor Mo the issue of setting up several control groups.
"Two groups, one with medication and one without, should be enough, right?" Doctor Mo looked at Jiang Qinyu strangely.
Jiang Qinyu shook her head and said, "That's too general. In addition to those who are taking medication and those who are not, we should also set the dosage for normal doses, half doses, and even micro-dose, etc. After all, it is to be used on people of different ages, and the dosage is very important."
Doctor Mo was taken aback upon hearing this, but then he understood and sighed, "I'm really getting old. I can't even think of this principle anymore. I only considered whether the medicine would be effective, but I didn't think about the dosage."
If he were to prescribe medicine, he would certainly determine the dosage based on each person's constitution and pulse. However, smallpox vaccine has a fixed dosage. It is necessary to conduct several comparisons to determine how much is effective without harming the body.
"Mr. Mo, there's no need to belittle yourself. After all, you were only thinking about whether the vaccine would be effective. We just had different ideas, which doesn't mean your thinking was wrong," Jiang Qinyu said softly.
In modern times, a new drug must go through many procedures and experiments before it can be used on humans.
Experiments involving mice may have hundreds of control groups and require a long research period.
The reason she didn't lead Doctor Mo in that direction was because the smallpox vaccine was already a mature and proven vaccine, and with the prescription from the legendary physician as a reference, the possibility of them making a mistake was very low.
“Alright, let’s do it your way. I’ll see if we need to add any other control groups,” Doctor Mo agreed without hesitation. “Let’s go, let’s go see if the medicine is ready.”
They were talking about this while they were decocting the medicine. Jiang Qinyu still hasn't seen what the medicine that Doctor Mo developed looks like.
Yunzhu and the apprentices under Doctor Mo were in the kitchen. When Jiang Qinyu and the others arrived, they were filtering the medicinal juice.
"Little Tong, is this really medicine to prevent smallpox? Why does it look so clear?" Yunzhu asked, looking at the filtered medicine.
The boy put down the medicine bucket in his hand, spread his hands, and said, "I don't know either. Master said that it should be cleaned this way to be good."
"Yes, the clearer the medicine, the better!" Doctor Mo's voice suddenly rang out. "Madam, come and take a look too. Will injecting this concentration into the bloodstream affect a person's normal movements?"
Blood concentration can affect health, and Doctor Mo doesn't want his medicine to become a harmful poison.
Jiang Qinyu peeked out and exclaimed in surprise, "How did Elder Mo manage to brew such a clear medicinal broth?"
To put it simply, it's not quite a vivid description. To be precise, it's the brown, transparent liquid that Doctor Mo brewed.
It's a little different from what Jiang Qinyu bought in the system; now we're just waiting to see how it performs.
"This is a prescription I researched for a long time before I finalized it. Tell me, will this medicine work?" Doctor Mo looked at Jiang Qinyu expectantly, waiting for her comments.
Jiang Qinyu wasn't good at this, so she said, "This concentration should be fine, but since it's going to be used directly in the blood, the filtration has to be clean enough."
She suddenly wondered if she had acted too impulsively. The problems seemed to be piling up...
