1418 The Follow Up (2)

Drap! Drap! Drap!

After the ambush and somewhat failure of the mission, Long Qian Xing and his soldiers returned to the camp. Along the way, he noticed that some of his soldiers seemed to not look so good.

"Jun Hua, can you check on them?" Long Qian Xing asked as they stopped in the camp. Even though he knew that it would be better to check the poison faster, he didn't know how far the poison could spread.

Thus, he could only delay them and asked everyone to return to the camp first.

At the very least, the camp was quite far away from the location of the ambush just now. The poison shouldn't be able to reach their location unless the wind was blowing so hard in their direction.

"Yes." Nan Hua leapt down from the horses and pulled one of the soldiers who didn't look well. Her expression was serious as she took out several needles and also the alcohol bottles.

The poison was as ruthless as she had read in the novel.

Thankfully, the detoxification was still possible. Long Qian Xing's soldiers were located a distance away from the main source, so only a few of them who were unlucky to be close enough were affected.

"Call the doctors." Long Qian Xing waved his hand.

"Yes, General Xing!"

The soldier who was still fine quickly jumped out and ran to find the doctor. When they came here, there were also doctors who followed them to treat the injured soldiers. Now, it was time for them to start treating these poisoned soldiers.

Hopefully, they could also treat poisons well.

"What happened?" Yu Jin came out while draping her fur cloak. She frowned when she saw that some of Long Qian Xing's soldiers looked listless and their friends dragged them forward. "Did you fail?"

"Partly." Long Qian Xing looked at the soldiers and then at Yu Jin. "Do you have more doctors among you?"

"The best doctor is my younger sister." Yu Jin pointed at Nan Hua, who had finished treating the first soldier and quickly moved to the second one. Despite the high speed, the needles were all right on point and after the first soldier vomited black blood, he looked much better.

"There are some others, but I'm not sure that they can treat the poisons from Zhang Xu Kingdom."

Zhang Xu Kingdom's poisons were famous for its variety and efficacy. It was not an exaggeration to say that the poisons from Zhang Xu Kingdoms were extremely hard to deal with.

No one would want to come in contact with them without having sufficient medical knowledge.

"Just try. There are 24… no 26 people who need treatment." Long Qian Xing's brows furrowed. While the number was not that many, he was also worried that they could affect the other soldiers through contact.

Should that happen, he would definitely make sure that Lin Sun suffered terribly before that man died.

"What are you worried about?"

"Prime Minister Lei managed to get some portion of the poison. When do you think he's planning to use it?" Long Qian Xing passed a glance at Yu Jin.

Yu Jin paused. She knew very well that Prime Minister Lei would definitely not stay quiet when he obtained something like that. Knowing that ruthless prime minister and also their emperor's ambition, she took a deep breath.

"Let's hope it's not an assassination attempt towards His Majesty."

Long Qian Xing was silent, but his clenched fist was telling that he was also worried about that.

After all, no one could say for sure what Prime Minister Lei planned to do with the poison. And the fact that Emperor Yang Zhou was at the forefront of the battlefield was also something that was known.

The princes were all still very young.

Should Emperor Yang Zhou died, Fei Yang Kingdom would be in dire situation where there was no suitable strong successor. The so called plan to conquer the other kingdoms would definitely come to a halt.

That was not good.

"Right." Yu Jin nodded and watched the doctors who had started to make their move. In any case, she knew very well that she couldn't do anything to help. She was not a doctor and her medical knowledge was limited to the first aid that was useful when one first got injured.

Aside from those, she was not so good.

The doctors moved quickly and these soldiers were quickly treated. Aside from those who were poisoned, there were also many of them who were injured and currently being treated temporarily by their comrades.

The doctors were busy, so they had to make do. When the doctor had time, their wounds would be redressed so that it would not cause further complication in the future.

"Done."

Nan Hua stood up and wiped her hand with the cloth. The other wounded soldiers can be handed to the doctors. She was not a full fledge doctor and had no interest to treat them anymore.

"Thank you very much, Jun Hua," Long Qian Xing said with a smile.

Nan Hua nodded.

Yu Jin listened from the side and arched his eyebrows. "I didn't expect you to be so close with my younger sister so fast, General Xing."

For Long Qian Xing to call Nan Hua with the name directly without any titles, it was clearly quite impolite. Aside from family members, only husband and wife would usually do this. Even for family members, there were some restriction depending on their status and the relationship with the other party.

"My apologies, General Yu and Princess Jun." Long Qian Xing switched his words smoothly. There didn't seem to be any burden for him to say these as he smiled gentlemanly towards the two woman.

"It's fine." Yu Jin also answered with a forced smile as she grinded her teeth.

Who didn't know how cunning this young man in front of her was?

She really couldn't relax her guards around him in the slightest bit.
