Chapter 407 Zhou Sheng Ru Gu 18
Ling Xi and other military doctors gathered together in a circle to discuss this sudden epidemic.

Ling Xi glanced at the crowd, observed the expressions on their faces, and asked seriously: "Uncles, what did you find?"

Doctor Chen was the first to speak: "The symptoms are similar to those of previous epidemics. The pulse also looks like an epidemic. It's just that this epidemic came too suddenly, without any signs. It's a bit strange."

Logically speaking, the speed of the disease progression was too fast, leaving no time for the patient to recover.

Doctor Zhao frowned and said hesitantly, "I always feel that there seems to be something wrong with these people's disease."

The older military doctor Li also stroked his beard and nodded: "I also think this disease is very strange. It doesn't seem like an epidemic, but more like poisoning."

Hearing this, several military doctors turned to look at Doctor Li, and cried out in shock, in disbelief: "Poisoned?"

"But what kind of poison can make people feel like they have an epidemic? You know, the symptoms of an epidemic are common, but an epidemic is different from an ordinary fever. What kind of poison can be so powerful?"

Ling Xi turned to Doctor Li and said, "Uncle Li, I read in a book that there is a poison in the Northern Barbarians called plague poison. It says that anyone who is poisoned will show symptoms like being infected with the plague. Are these people infected with this poison?"

Doctor Li suddenly realized something. He clapped his hands violently, then patted Ling Xi's shoulder, his fingers trembling.

"Girl, you finally reminded me. This is the poison. If I'm not mistaken, they are the ones who have been poisoned by this kind of poison."

Ling Xi shrugged to relieve his sore shoulders and continued to listen to their discussion.

This plague is from the Northern Barbarians, but they are far away from here. How did the poison get to the border between Northern Chen and Southern Xiao?

Ling Xi felt that there must be a secret here.

"Doctor Li, now that we know what the poison is, how do we detoxify it? We don't even know about the poison of the northern barbarians." Doctor Chen hit the nail on the head and raised the most important question.

The Northern Barbarians are located in the northeast of Northern Chen. There are vast tracts of forests there, and they mainly engage in hunting and nomadic activities. Some places are even uncivilized, and people still live a very primitive life, eating raw meat and drinking blood.

Unlike Northern Chen and Southern Xiao, every man in the Northern Barbarians is a soldier and very warlike. When there is no food in winter, they like to rob food and grass on the border of Northern Chen, and from time to time they will disturb the peace of the people of Northern Chen.

Moreover, the northern barbarians were murderous. Once they went to war with the Northern Chen, they had no regard for the lives of the people. They fought and killed wherever they went, which made the people of the Northern Chen hate them deeply.

The king's army had fought with the Northern Barbarians several times. Although they won, they also realized their strong fighting ability.

When asked how to detoxify, Doctor Li looked at Ling Xi instead, as if he was looking at a very outstanding junior, and asked kindly: "Girl, how do you think this poison should be detoxified?"

Ling Xi noticed the encouragement in Doctor Li's eyes and realized that he wanted a junior like her to solve the problem. She was grateful.

Ling Xi told the detoxification method he knew.

It is not particularly difficult to detoxify this poison, but one of the medicines is rather rare.

If Wang Jun can quickly collect the supplies from the pharmacies in the towns surrounding Qingyang City, he should be able to make it in time.

"Uncles, I will immediately ask General Xie Yun to collect and prepare medicinal materials. However, before the medicinal materials arrive, we can only use other methods to suppress the spread of this poison."

Ling Xi's guess became more and more certain as she confirmed the poison, and she felt it necessary to remind Zhou Shengchen.

The battle between Northern Chen and Southern Xiao may not have been without the intervention of other people.

Some people want to fish in troubled waters, interfere and wait for the benefits to come their way.

Of course, the purpose and mastermind behind this are still unknown.

But what she suspected most now were Nan Xiao's people.

The Northern Barbarians are too far away, and their power may not be able to infiltrate here.

On the contrary, Nan Xiao's own people are fighting for power and are more likely to do this. As for the purpose, it is still unknown for the time being.

Ling Xi immediately went to find Xie Yun, told him about the epidemic, and explained to him that someone might have deliberately poisoned the food in order to create chaos.

After hearing the news, Xie Yun also understood the seriousness of the matter.

"I understand, Ling Xi, I will tell Master that I will have someone prepare the herbs you need immediately and try to send them to you as soon as possible."

"Third Brother, thank you for your help."

Xie Yun touched Ling Xi's hair and smiled: "What kind of trouble is this? I can't beat you, so I have to stay here."

Ling Xi: "Oh, Third Brother, this plague should have been thrown into the wells in the city. Can you ask someone to take me to the wells in the city? I want to go there and take a look."

Xie Yunwu replied: "Okay, I'll have someone take you there right away."

He immediately called two soldiers over and ordered, "You two, take Doctor Ling to the place with a well in the city."

"Yes, General."

Ling Xi followed the two of them and left.

Xie Yun immediately wrote a letter and had it delivered to Wang Jun’s camp.

Ling Xi followed the two for a while and arrived at the first well.

She drew a bucket of water from the well, scooped up a handful of the clean water and smelled it.

He took out another pill from his medical bag and put it into the water.

The next second, the calm water suddenly boiled like scalding water.

Ling Xi stared at the boiling water and knew that there was indeed something wrong with the well.

That pill is used to detect poison and will react with the poison.

In this way, Ling Xi went to several more places and checked the conditions of the remaining wells.

Without exception, they were all poisoned.

On the way back to the shed, the two people who had followed her were sent back by her, and she was the only one walking on the deserted road.

When passing a remote and deserted corner, a handkerchief suddenly rushed out and covered Ling Xi's mouth and nose without warning. As soon as the pungent smell entered his nose, Ling Xi struggled for a moment, but before he could move any more, he fainted.

Then, two men came out, carried Ling Xi on their shoulders, and left silently.

There was no one to be seen on the wide street, and it was so quiet that it was frightening.

On the other side, Wang Jun’s military camp.

Zhou Shengchen returned from the peace talks with the Second Prince Nanxiao. Having achieved their goal, they were in a good mood.

But this joy came to an abrupt end when he heard Feng Qiao say that Qingyang City was infected with an epidemic and Ling Xi was taking people there.

His expression immediately changed, and his voice became deeper: "Why did she go there alone?"

Feng Qiao said with a bitter face, "Master, Ah Xi, you know what she wants to do, how can I stop her? Besides, the situation was urgent at the time. For the sake of the people of Qingyang City, she said that she would go first with the military doctor, and I would follow with the medicinal materials."

Zhou Shengchen was filled with anxiety, fearing that Ling Xi might encounter some dangerous situation in Qingyang City, so he immediately ordered two thousand soldiers to rush towards Qingyang City.
