A few months ago, when they retreated from the swamp, they were too tortured by the swamp gas and poisonous insects. The troops fled the black mist-filled swamp in a hurry, not caring about those who were dead or about to die.

Perhaps out of regret, everyone present remained silent. Finally, Qingjier broke the silence. He coughed twice and spoke: "We are brothers, we can't bring them back to Chiyuan, at any rate...

Let them rest in peace."

Everyone agreed, and it seemed that everyone had thought of it together, so they sent two people back to the camp to get tools. They worked together to dig a big hole and bury the dead clansmen in the loess.

Finally, someone couldn't hold back his anger and said angrily: "I don't know what His Highness King Xiao is thinking. These brothers all died because of that woman. He actually sent us to find Aconitum for that woman at the risk."

Detoxification, what does this make the brothers who died in vain think?"

"That's right, His Highness even punished General Abohan severely for that woman. She was just a woman, so what would happen if she was killed? His Highness treated the general like this, which is quite chilling.

Someone started, and everyone expressed their dissatisfaction, but some people ignored it and said: "His Royal Highness is the incarnation of the wolf god Gila. He must have a deep meaning in trying to keep that woman. How can it be like you and me?"

A martial artist can measure it!"

"Hey! Everyone is just complaining. The 400,000 Wolf King's army will always be loyal to His Highness. As long as His Highness says a word, let alone a woman, no one will even blink an eye even if it means going through mountains of fire."

"That's it!!"

This sentence finally reached the hearts of everyone, and the haze of burying their compatriots just now slowly dissipated. They talked and laughed loudly like before, and returned to the camp with their tools.

Tired after a long day's work, Qingjier was just about to sleep when someone came to his tent to get some anti-worm medicine. He yawned and looked outside. Wasn't this the person who had just gone out with him to find herbs?

The man approached the tent, sat down on the ground, took off his wristband and cursed: "Damn it, I got a rash after eating today. I don't know what kind of insect bit me. It's itchy and painful."

, very uncomfortable.”

Qingjir looked through the light and saw dense red rashes on the man's arms, with small pus tips on the top, which made him tremble with goosebumps all over his body.

Qingjier casually gave him the medicine, but did not forget to warn him: "This place is not a good place. Don't take off your clothes when you sleep at night."

After sending the man away, Qingjier was just about to fall asleep when he heard someone calling him again, also asking for deworming medicine. He became patient. The situation was the same as the last soldier. This man had a rash on his legs, and he

He was also one of the soldiers who just went out to look for medicine.

Qingjier barely slept that night and picked up three more people in succession. They all had the same symptoms. He vaguely felt that something was wrong. Before he could report the matter to Helian Jue, he received an order and everyone immediately set off to the swamp.

Looking for Wu Touqing, Qingjier braced himself and followed the team into the swamp.

"This place is really evil. I can't see anything clearly in broad daylight."

I don't know who said this, Qingjier raised his eyes and looked around.

It’s not like Xinchuan where it rains all day long, but everywhere you can see is covered by black fog, surrounded by grass as tall as a person, and under your feet is the slippery mud, with countless long-legged insects hiding in it.

You can hear the "click" sound of their hard shells breaking when you step on them.

And... in this place full of stinky mud, they would fall into the swamp at some point, and the black insects hiding inside were still waiting for them.

Qingjir couldn't help but trembled, and continued to bend his body, holding a torch to explore the way.

He couldn't help feeling that life is unpredictable. They had a terrible fall here a few months ago. At that time, all His Highness Xiao Wang could think about was how to deal with the royal family of Zelu City in the most cruel way.

Unexpectedly, a few months later, His Highness would actually send people here to find Wu Touqing to save Si Nanyue. Sure enough, life is more changeable than drama.

He raised his head, took a breath, and shouted: "Don't go in, everyone. There are a lot of blackheads here. Just look for them on the edge of the swamp. The swamp gas is poisonous. It is not advisable to stay for a long time. If you find it, we will retreat as soon as possible."

Everyone responded, they were all people who had narrowly escaped death in the swamp. At least they had the experience last time and brought enough medicine. This time it was relatively better, at least no one was eaten alive by insects.

It's just that this aconite is very green. Before anyone could get close, it ran away without a trace when someone came up. Three hours passed and still nothing was found.

Just when Qingjier was about to lose his temper, he suddenly heard someone not far away shouting excitedly: "I caught one, Qingjier, come and see, is it it?!"

Qingjier hurriedly ran over and saw the black snake with scales like inkstones and eyes like jade, yes, that was it!

Surprised, Qingjier took the snake gallbladder and snake venom on the spot to prevent accidents, and returned to the camp with everyone. However, from a distance, he heard screams coming from the camp.

Everyone looked at each other in shock, thinking that the camp had been attacked. They grabbed their weapons and were about to go over when they saw the patrolling soldiers shouting at them: "Qingjier, come quickly, some brothers are dying!!"

Qingjier ran into one of them's tent and took a look. This sight didn't matter, but it really made him jump.

I saw the man lying on the ground, his whole body swollen, and his body was covered with red rashes. There was a pustule on the top of each rash. The patients were in unbearable pain. They couldn't stop scratching. If the pustules were broken, they would flow out from inside.

Yellow water and smoke filled the tent with an extremely stench.

If you look carefully, isn't that person the same person who asked you to get deworming medicine last night? Could it be...

Sure enough, he checked from tent to tent and found that the people with symptoms yesterday had become like this in a short period of time. Are there any poisonous insects here that they hadn't seen last time?

Before Qingjier could figure it out, Ximing was in a hurry to get rid of the snake gallbladder and snake venom. She followed Qingjier's previous prescription, added the medicinal materials, cooked it and fed it to the dying Sin Nanyue.

As expected, soon after Si Nanyue drank the medicine, the purple color on her mouth slowly faded away. After Qingjier checked her pulse and confirmed that the toxin was gone, He Lianjue, who had been standing by her side, quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

But one wave had just subsided and then another, and Qingjier came to report again: "Your Highness, several brothers were bitten by poisonous insects last night. Herbal medicines are useless. The poison of the little city lord has been cured. Do you think we will..."

Before Qingjier finished speaking, he heard someone outside the camp shouting: "Qingjier, come quickly, they are going to die!!"

Helianjue frowned. He raised his chin to Qingjier and motioned for him to go first. He turned to look at Si Nanyue's improving face. After confirming that she was really fine, he ordered Ximing to take care of her and followed her.

passed.

When he rushed to the tent, he only saw several swollen corpses with pus and pus. The only one who was still breathing was scratching his body like crazy, and several people couldn't hold it down.

Seeing Helian Jue coming in, he shouted at the top of his lungs: "Your Highness... Your Highness, please kill me! I really can't hold on anymore..."

Helian decided to look at Qingjier, only to see him helplessly shake his head at himself, and then lowered his head without saying a word. Helian decided to have mixed feelings. Since he chose to keep Si Nanyue's life, the consequences would also be

He has to bear it.

He raised a dagger in his hand and slashed the soldier's neck with the short blade. Blood spurted out, taking away his life and ending his pain.

There was a dead silence in the camp, but Qingjier sighed and said: "Everyone, please stop standing and help the dead brothers... bury them in their graves."

Just as everyone was helping to carry the body, Xi Ming suddenly rushed in with help from Si Nanyue who was struggling. She had just woken up, her body was very heavy, but her steps felt like stepping on clouds. If it weren't for Xi Ming, she wouldn't be able to get out of the tent.

.

Helian never thought that she would wake up so quickly. There was a trace of imperceptible joy in her eyes. Before he could speak, he heard Si Nanyue say in a weak voice: "Don't touch them, it's a plague!!"

"plague?"

For a moment, everyone looked at each other in shock. Qingjier was stunned and said: "The little city lord is too worried. This is just an injury from poisonous insects. How can there be any talk of a plague?"

Si Nanyue's hands tightly held the tent curtain, supporting her body. Her strength was exhausted. Her bloodshot eyes looked at everyone anxiously, and she didn't even have the strength to speak.

Xi Mingqian beside him was anxious: "My young lady has been admitted to the sect of Yuan Ruisheng of the Medicine Temple earlier. Her judgment will definitely not be wrong. Everyone should leave here quickly!"

Helian did not hesitate to order everyone not to approach the sick man's tent. He picked up Sin Nanyue and ordered Qingjier to follow, and they returned to the king's tent.

When Si Nanyue recovered, she said to Qingjier in a dying voice: "Doctor, you... you prepare three coins of forsythia, six coins of cassia, two coins of coptis, prunella vulgaris, seven-night vine, ghost needle grass, and Han Mingye.

Five cents each, boil it into medicine, no... no matter whether there are soldiers who are sick or not, they must drink it... and... and... cough cough cough cough..."

Si Nanyue was coughing so much that she couldn't speak. Ximing quickly brought water and fed it to her with tears in her eyes. She breathed rapidly, and while she was feeling better, she spoke again: "Don't touch those sick corpses."

They will be burned together with their tents immediately, otherwise...otherwise..."

"Burned?"

Qingjier's tone suddenly became high-pitched. After being glared at by Helianjue, he tried to calm down his emotions, but still gritted his teeth and said: "That's not burning, that's obviously crushing bones and scattering ashes! That's torture! How can I

I can’t diagnose what kind of plague this disease is, so I’m afraid the little city lord is just using it to vent his personal grudges!”

As soon as Qingjier finished speaking, a soldier reported urgently outside the door: "Your Highness is not well, and many brothers have rashes on their bodies!"

"What!" Qingjier's expression suddenly changed, "The person who is sick is the person who was looking for medicine with me yesterday?"

The soldier outside the door thought for a while and replied: "No, Lavin and I patrolled together yesterday and never went out with the military doctor."

Qingjier was like an eggplant beaten by frost. He collapsed on the ground. Things seemed to have developed for the worst. He muttered: "It's over... It's over... It's really a plague..."
