Quick Wear: BE cannon fodder does not follow the routine

Chapter 197: Marrying the Princess (30)

Two days later!

Gu Yuxi and his men rushed all the way to Nanjiezhou. They had already lost ten cities and probably 80,000 people.

The sloppy streets looked as if they had been through a brutal war. The fog was thick and lingering, making it difficult to see the scene ahead.

The streets were empty, with almost no civilians to be seen, and the whole city was desolate and dead.

Most of the people have been evacuated to the rear, and only those who cannot leave or choose to stay are left. Faced with this scene, everyone's hearts are filled with helplessness and sadness.

"Ke He Dun, the commander of the city gate has been waiting for a long time. We need to go to the military supervisor."

"Immediately find out what the enemy is going to do next. If there is any unusual movement, report it immediately."

"Leader!"

They arrived at the military supervisory office, where many soldiers and civilians were gathered, but they were in very bad mental states and had livid faces. Their eyes lit up when they saw them.

"It's the Red Armored Corps!"

"It's General You Yan. I don't know who that female general is. She looks majestic."

"There are quite a few female soldiers in the team."

The city guard had been waiting for a long time. When he saw Gu Yuxi and his men dismount, he immediately went to meet them. He clenched his fist, leaned on his left shoulder, and saluted and greeted them: "I greet Ke Hedun, General You Yan, and all the generals."

Hearing this, those people knelt down one after another and shouted, "Greetings to Kehe Dun, long live the king."

"Everyone, please don't be so polite. We are all the people of Changshengtian. You have worked hard to defend this Qingcheng. Now we are here."

"It's finally here. We don't have to leave our homes."

"very nice."

The general said, "If the city survives, the people will live. If the city falls, the people will die. We swear to defend every bit of our homeland to the death. We have hung up the banner of no fighting today. The enemy is resting because they are in a hurry, but it may not be the case tomorrow."

He met Gu Yuxi and others in the military supervision office and began to explain the current situation.

"Why was he poisoned? Have you investigated the source of the poison?"

"Ke He Dun, we have roughly figured out the situation. They poisoned our water. It was discovered by a butcher when he woke up at night a few days ago."

A rough male voice came: "Kehe Dun, three days ago, I heard the goose waiting to be slaughtered making a lot of noise. I went out and saw several figures gathering stealthily in the living water lake. They even stirred the lake with sticks."

"Why don't you show any signs of poisoning?"

"I am Wu Guang, a butcher. I have four large water tanks at home, but the situation is chaotic and there are no pigs to slaughter. I have been drinking water from home these days, so I and my family have been spared from poisoning. Now my family has been evacuated to Yuanzhou, and no one has shown any signs of poisoning."

"Ke He Dun, the people who didn't drink the running water are indeed fine, but none of our doctors can find out what the poison is."

Gu Yuxi understood. The accompanying military doctor prepared to test for poison and listened to the city defender describing the current situation in Qingcheng.

After a long time, those who tested the poison shook their heads and said, "I am ashamed. I inherited the mantle of medicine, but I am powerless."

"Military doctor, have you found anything?"

"This poison is colorless and tasteless, and difficult to detect."

Gu Yuxi looked at the bowl of water and walked over. Those people made way for him. He saw the woman took out a silver needle from her hair, which was shining with silver light.

She smelled the odor and found it was indeed colorless and odorless. She tried several methods but there was no progress.

"Heh, could it be that this poison came out from the cracks in the rocks?"

"Ke He Dun, this is the only clue we have right now. We have checked everything that can be taken in, except the air."

"This water is a necessity, and the chances of it being poisoned are extremely high."

Gu Yuxi lowered his eyebrows and fell into deep thought. He looked up at everyone and finally fixed his gaze on his mouth, making everyone else nervous.

"Ke He Dun, this..."

"Pass me a vessel."

The woman took the teacup, poured some water into it, and then did something jaw-dropping: she spat a large mouthful of saliva into it.

"Ok?"

Gu Yuxi ignored the surprise of those people, stirred the teacup a few times with a silver needle, and dripped a drop of the medicine he used to test for poison into it.

Everyone's eyes were fixed on the teacup, while Gu Yuxi continued to experiment with other methods, even making people prick their hands and make blood drip.

After half an incense stick of time, her eyes flashed, and the originally transparent water suddenly turned red. She took the silver needle and stirred it, and the water's color also darkened. The silver needle she took out changed.

"I found out! I didn't expect it was caused by saliva."

Gu Yuxi poured some of it into a cup and began to examine the contents, writing down the ingredients. She couldn't find out the last two ingredients.

"Can the doctors find out the ingredients?"

"Kehe Dun, this is a unique herb that is found in Nanping. It has a smell..."

"I think this looks like the golden sun halo of the Later Jin Dynasty."

"No, I think it's Xili's lunatic. I encountered him many times when I was a medicine boy under the master. I can't be wrong."

"It is indeed these things. I don't know what the last two flavors are."

"You Yan, ask someone to get the herbs that the doctors mentioned."

The doctors also took the utensils and started spitting into them. Gu Yuxi felt that the scene was a little sloppy. No wonder they had that expression just now.

The sky gradually darkened. Gu Yuxi sat at the same table with some female generals. The food in their hands was compressed biscuits and cucumbers. They didn't dare to eat anything else at the moment.

"Ke He Dun, the herbs have been found by Doctor Ke, the ingredients are here, and the solution is being considered."

Taking the paper, Gu Yuxi ordered: "Bring paper and pen!"

"Give it to the doctors for reference, and prepare the herbs mentioned above."

The subordinate took it over, and after a while, the other party replied: "Ke Hedun, all the doctors agree with your prescription. This prescription can detoxify."

"Speed ​​up detoxification!"

Gu Yuxi took the last bite of the cucumber. It was a little bitter, but then she felt refreshing. She then took a pen and paper and wrote down some herbal medicine.

"Ke He Dun, the poison has been resolved, do you still need a prescription?"

"General Ruolan, it is impolite not to go back on one's word. Let's make some preparations before the enemy arrives."

"The end will tell."

Looking at the dark circles under Gu Yuxi's eyes, he reminded: "Ke Hedun, the room is ready. You and everyone else will take a rest first. This Qingcheng is guarded by someone."

"Respond immediately if anything happens."

"Yes!"

Just as Gu Yuxi was about to go to sleep, Er moved slightly, opened his eyes, held a dart in his hand, broke through the window, and quickly went out.

She saw the man in black covering his shoulder and preparing to fly away. She stepped on the railing, flew up quickly, and was in front of him when he was about to fly away. She kicked him down and knocked him onto the pavilion, waking him up from his dream.

"Tell me, which side are you from?"

Seeing that the man was about to bite his tongue to commit suicide, Gu Yuxi pressed the man's acupuncture point, and a green glowing insect was stuffed into the man's mouth.

"Ahem, cough, cough, what did you feed me?"

Everyone immediately ran out, holding swords against the man's neck. Gu Yuxi smiled and said, "Remember to speak clearly, otherwise you will neither be able to live nor die!"
