Chapter 167 The First Poison Attack

General Shen ordered the military camp to be moved into the second city. The original officials here had all died, and only the common people were left in the city, so the restoration work was temporarily entrusted to them. He had already written to the emperor, requesting the dispatch of some officials, but there was no news yet.

Originally, they had planned to hold a grand banquet in order to take advantage of the opportunity and win the battle in one fell swoop. However, that night, although General Shen did not go to the battlefield, he fainted an hour before Lieutenant General Xue, who had been clearing the battlefield and rescuing the civilians, returned.

General Shen didn't wake up until everyone came back.

The military doctor was also helpless. For some unknown reason, Gulan suddenly had an attack. The poison in General Shen's injured leg had spread to his thigh. Not only did it lose temperature, but it also shed dandruff when he moved.

Shen Mingjue and Xue Zhong stayed beside General Shen, while Deputy General Xue and Gu Changfeng went out to continue supervising the relocation of their men.

"Is there really no cure for Gulan's poison? Are we just going to watch the general suffer from the poison again and again until he dies?"

Gu Changfeng felt powerless. There were only two months left before the last attack of the poison. That was to say, if the poison attacked a few more times, Shen Mingjue would take the initiative to marry Kenasu for his father's sake in exchange for the antidote. As Shen Mingjue's man, Gu Changfeng could do nothing but "steal" her back before the bridal chamber.

Deputy General Xue was also sad: "Perhaps only the real antidote can cure it."

"Maybe?" Gu Changfeng seemed to have found a life-saving straw, and said excitedly: "Is there something else that can alleviate the disease?"

Deputy General Xue nodded: "It's not without reason that General Shen hates Gulan so much. When we were young, we also encountered a difficult situation like today. The general at that time was unwilling to exchange our land for the antidote, so he kept dragging it out. It was General Shen and I who found the Nine-Turn Resurrection Grass. This thing grows on cliffs and can delay the onset of poison, extending the three-month life span to three years. But in the end, the general who lived for three more years forgot his original intention, was afraid of death, and agreed to the Scythians..."

"Nine-turn Resurrection Grass?" Gu Changfeng's eyes sparkled. "What does it look like?"

"I don't know whether I should tell you that once a dying person has lived a few years in humiliation, he may be very reluctant to die again. You saved General Shen now, but what if General Shen wants to sacrifice Ming Jue in order to save his own life three years later? Even though I believe in General Shen's character, I am afraid that this kind of thing will really happen a second time!"

"No! General Shen is not that kind of person. Besides, with you and me here, how could we let Ming Jue fall into the hands of the Scythians? The most important thing now is General Shen's life. We have just won and have accumulated the confidence of the soldiers. If General Shen gets into trouble at this time, how can we capture the last city and avenge the people?"

Deputy General Xue looked at him with a complicated expression for a long time, then said, "Come with me."

After half a lifetime, Lieutenant General Xue still remembered the appearance of the Nine-turn Resurrection Grass and drew it on paper. "This kind of grass is always on cliffs. The color is really dull. It will only show a faint purple halo after it rains. But it will be very dangerous after it rains. I am worried about you going alone, so ask Zhong'er to come with you."

Gu Changfeng folded the paper and put it back into his sleeve. "Don't worry, Deputy General Xue. I will definitely bring back the Nine Revolutions Resurrection Grass!"
