Chapter 1280: War Drums Beat Again
ped her forehead, "Li MaMa, although Xi'er woke up, her body is very weak. Please thank the Empress for her gift on behalf of this king. When Xi'er gets better, this king will bring her to the palace...Ye Xi arrived at the village with her troops very quickly. She had come from below to call for reinforcements, and this time, she was accompanied by Lu Nian. Seeing Lu Nian appear alongside Ye Xi, Feng Lingxi was quite puzzled.
"How did you follow me here"
"After you left the city, I followed you here. When you went into the military camp, I waited outside for you. I didn't see you, so I was about to go back when I happened to see him, and asked him to bring me to find you."
Lu Nian's explanation left Ye Xi quite helpless.
"My Lord, I truly couldn't stop him. He insisted on coming with me."
Most importantly, this Lu Nian is the princess's own brother. Even the King can't do anything to him, so how could a mere guard possibly stop him
"You're really bored. I told you I wouldn't recognize you, and you shouldn't try to get close to me anymore, it's useless."
Feng Lingxi's tone was cold, her eyes were wide open, but there was an indescribable emotion in her eyes.
If her mother hadn't said she wasn't allowed to acknowledge him, having a brother like this would certainly make her much happier. At the very least, she wouldn't have to carry everything on her own and would have someone to confide in and rely on.
Then you can just think of me as a friend, right Anyway, I'm free and have nothing to do. Roaming the world, going anywhere is fine, who knows, I might even be able to help.
"Well then, I'd like to see what you're capable of. People in this village who get bitten by dogs go mad and start biting others. They're poisoned, and the poison drives them into a frenzy, causing them to tear and bite."
"How could such behavior be caused by being bitten by a dog Poisoning is the real reason."
Lu Nian's expression turned serious.
"Take me there."
Feng Lingxi didn't expect Lu Nian to really understand. She led the Sancai to Liu Da and his brother's courtyard. They were still lying on the ground, their eyes wide open, lifeless, but they had been lying there for more than an hour. Their faces were pale, their lips black, and their limbs were obviously stiff.
"I just sealed their acupoints to prevent them from harming anyone."
Lu Nian crouched down, carefully examining them. She was serious and meticulous in her inspection, checking every inch of their bodies, scrutinizing each detail with a furrowed brow.
"How many days have they been insane"
"Sāicái, you tell him."
Sān cái hurried to say, “Counting it up, today is the third day. They fight and bite each other every day, but none of them go out.”
"Three days, seven days madness."
Li Nian stood up and looked around.
"Where's the dog"
They were killed and eaten.
Lu Nian's expression changed drastically, looking at Sancai with a grave expression, "How many people have eaten it"
Most of those who were bitten went mad, and those who were bitten also went mad, with the same symptoms, only less ferocious.
Lu Nian nodded. "This kind of poison is indeed contagious. If you are scratched, you will be poisoned as well. After seven days of being poisoned, the toxins will spread throughout the five internal organs and six fu organs, eroding the brain, and there is no cure."
Feng Lingxi, hearing this, was truly impressed by Lu Nian. He actually knew about this kind of poison! However, this seven-day madness disease was the first time she had heard of it.
Lu Nian, what kind of poison is this seven-day madness Why have I never heard of it
She was right about that, but she hadn't expected Lu Nian to be so clear.
“I heard about this seven-day madness during my travels, but I had never seen it myself. However, I do know something about it. This poison is extremely evil, created by a poisonous doctor. It can take root in the bodies of animals, especially cats and dogs. If you are bitten or scratched by an infected animal, you will contract the poison. Seven days later, the poison will take hold, and you will die.”
Lu Nian said, his handsome face darkening ominously.
"If you are wounded, do not approach them lest you be tainted by their blood, for it is contagious."
Hearing this, Lu Nian hurriedly looked at Feng Lingxi, "Are you hurt"
Feng Lingxi shook her head. She hadn't even moved, how could she be injured
"Is there no way to detoxify"
Dugu Cheng looked at the two people on the ground. They were now living in such misery, it was painful to watch.
"I haven't heard of anyone who can solve this yet."
Lu Nian took a handkerchief and wiped his hands, looking at Feng Lingxi's solemn expression. "The poisoned person must be dealt with as soon as possible. The body must be cremated to prevent infection of others."
They are all still alive; I can't kill them all.
Feng Lingxi was unwilling to accept this, there must be a way to antidote this poison. It was definitely possible to cure it, she couldn't possibly have no solution.
Looking at the two vibrant lives on the ground, are we just going to let them die
There are still dozens of people in this village, and who knows how many more haven't been found. If the number grows any larger, won't this poison wipe out the entire village
Feng Lingxi shook her head, her eyes resolute. "I will definitely find a way to detoxify. Since it's poison, there must be an antidote."
Feng Lingxi looked at Lu Nian, "Can you tell me more about this seven-day madness disease I want to understand it and research a cure."
Lu Nian saw her so stubborn, frowned, and was very unwilling.
"This poison doctor's toxins haven't been able to be cured by anyone yet. This seven-day madness disease, just from the name you can tell, it only takes seven days. You don't have enough time to research it at all. And, it's extremely dangerous. What if..."
As a physician, if you give up before you even start, then you are not truly a physician. No matter how difficult it is, you must try. How can you know you won't succeed if you don't even attempt it
Feng Ling Xi's words left him speechless, unable to utter a single word. Looking at Feng Ling Xi's unwavering gaze and then at Du Gu Cheng, he pleaded, "You persuade her, please."
"Xi'er is right, as a doctor, one shouldn't give up without trying. To abandon treatment before attempting it is a grave mistake for a physician. This king will help Xi'er, regardless of the outcome, we will try."
"Madman."
Lu Nian said displeased, "Do you know how dangerous this poison is Have you considered the consequences"
Of course, if you're afraid, you can leave. I won't.
Feng Lingxi looked at Dugu City, "You believe me, I will find a way."
She didn't believe it, she couldn't solve this poison. As long as she found a way, she could.
"Just tell me what you need, my dear. I'm at your command."
Feng Lingxi responded, taking out a jar of pills from her bosom. She pricked the fingers of Liu Dailang and his brother, collecting their blood. Lu Nian, watching from the side, was deeply worried.
"San Cai, give me some space, I'm going to do an experiment."
Feng Lingxi instructed, and the Three Talents came to their senses. They hurriedly entered the house, tidying everything up. Xiao Li went over to help, and soon cleared out the room inside. Feng Lingxi then began researching the toxicity of the seven-day madness illness within.
"So you just follow her, not worried about anything happening to her"
Lu Nian looked at Dugu City, her voice filled with reproach, "Do you know how terrifying this poison is If Xi'er gets infected, she only has seven days."
"This king believes in Xier."
"I believe her too."
A cold voice came, looking at Li Wuyan and Luo Li who were walking towards them, Dugu City's eyes fell on Luo Li. Feeling uncomfortable being watched by Dugu City, Luo Li hurriedly explained, "Don't look at me, it was he who wanted to come."
"The speed is quite fast."es that you don't push yourself too hard and risk your life."Dugu Cheng didn't know how to tell her, "After you marry this king, your brilliance is too obvious. They all want your life. This king is a...
