Powdered medicine has been poured into several porcelain bowls.
Although the medicinal powder in the empty bottle was poured into the bucket yesterday, there is still a little powder stain on the bottom of the bottle.
"It's different." After Ye Daoquan checked it, he shook his head to Qin Xiao and said, "These bottles of medicinal powder are all different."
Qin Xiao frowned and said, "So, Yeling only brought a bottle of medicine to treat the epidemic?"
"Since he dared to come here, he should have more than one bottle." Ye Daoquan said: "He came to the Kou Nan family alone, maybe he took some precautions."
Qin Xiao understood and said: "Sir, he is worried that the Kou Nanshi will be harmful to him, so he does not dare to carry too many medicines with him." Realizing something, he said: "He is going to reach a certain agreement with the Kou Nanshi today.
These transactions, if Kuchunashi really meets his requirements, he will really go all out to rescue."
"That should be it." Ye Daoquan said: "General, please don't forget that during this trip to Iron Mountain, the Taoist priest did not come alone."
"Yes." Qin Xiao nodded and said, "He also has companions. If nothing else happens, his companions should have brought a lot of medicine."
Qin Xiao did not reveal his identity in front of Ye Ling yesterday because he wanted to wait and see what would happen.
He could temporarily rely on Ye Ling's help to treat the epidemic, but he also thought that when it was almost time, he would interrogate Ye Ling to find out from Ye Ling what the relationship between the Queen Mother Society and the epidemic was.
He had actually realized in his heart that the sudden epidemic on the grassland must be closely related to the Queen Mother Association.
But this idea is just his personal guess and cannot be determined. To truly understand the strangeness, we must start from Taoist Yeling as a breakthrough.
The ghost of the Queen Mother Society is still lingering, and Qin Xiao has always been wary of them. Since it is inferred that the epidemic is related to the Queen Mother, he naturally wants to find out what the real plot behind the Queen Mother Society is.
But he didn't expect Taoist Yeling to be assassinated.
I originally thought that the clue had been cut off, but when I learned that Ye Ling had companions, I knew that those people were the clues, so I naturally wouldn't let them go.
"Sir, can you find out the ingredients in this medicine?" Qin Xiao asked.
He saw with his own eyes how Yeling was treated yesterday.
When Ye Daoquan pricked the acupuncture point with the silver needle, he would know what was happening at a glance, but Qin Xiao knew that the most important thing must be the medicinal powder. If Ye Daoquan could find out what medicinal materials the medicinal powder was made of, then it would be equivalent to finding a way to fight against the epidemic.
-The way of love.
Ye Daoquan said: "I can give it a try, but the remaining dose is too small and it may take some time."
"Then let Mr. Lao help." Qin Xiao said: "Sir, you saw Taoist Yeling and his companions separated yesterday. Do you remember which direction those people went? They carry the antidote. I will take them there now.
Find them."
Ye Daoquan said to the outside of the tent: "Little sparrow, come in!"
His follower entered the tent, and Ye Daoquan said to Qin Xiao: "The little sparrow will go with you. He is good at tracing traces and can help you find those people. If nothing goes wrong, those people are far away from the Kou Nan camp.
It’s not too far.”
Qin Xiao knew that the night was long and there were many dreams, so he could not delay. He immediately asked Ye Daoquan to study the ingredients of the antidote, while he took the little sparrow to find Yeling Taoist's companions in person.
Taoist Yeling was killed, and Qin Xiao was worried that the assassin was still nearby, so he naturally wanted to protect Ye Daoquan with all his strength, so he asked Kou Nanye to arrange several brave Kou Nan soldiers to protect Ye Daoquan at all times.
Kuchunano complied with the arrangement. Although he also knew that Mukao Hito was brave, he was afraid that something might happen to him on the Kuchunan clan's territory, which he would not be able to explain to Koutun, so he sent a signal to send more than a dozen cavalry to follow Qin Xiao.
Go together.
Qin Xiao knew in his heart that Kou Nanye had a kind offer, so he did not refuse it. Moreover, with more people, it would be easier to find the whereabouts of the group, so he led everyone away from the camp.
Although the little sparrow didn't talk much, he moved quickly. He first led everyone to the place where Taoist Yeling separated from his companions yesterday, and then dismounted and searched for yesterday's horse hoof marks.
Fortunately, it didn't snow last night, and the epidemic situation has been severe recently, so few people come and go around Kuchunashi, so yesterday's horse hoof prints are still preserved.
Qin Xiao also saw horse hoof prints. From the prints, he could judge that there should be six people on the other side.
Now I followed the horse's hoof prints all the way to the southeast, and after walking less than twenty miles, I saw two tents not far away.
A cavalryman who followed him and said that he was not a member of our tribe. There are no livestock around, and the herdsmen will not leave the herds."
Most of the grassland herdsmen live in groups, and the herdsmen who live in isolated groups usually guard the pastures, but there are no livestock here, and there is no water source nearby, so they are willing to????????????
? It is definitely not a pasture that needs to be guarded. In this case, especially in winter, it is almost impossible for herdsmen to live alone.
Qin Xiao said in a deep voice: "Don't act rashly without my order." He urged his horse over, and all the cavalry quickly followed, and in a blink of an eye they surrounded the two tents.
"People inside, come out." A cavalryman held a knife in his hand and said solemnly.
But there was no sound inside the two tents.
Qin Xiao saw an extinguished bonfire outside the tent, and there were even dry food and water bags beside the fire. Apparently these people had been sitting around the fire to keep warm.
Qin Xiao narrowed his eyes slightly. With his cultivation in the Great Heaven Realm, his perception was far superior to that of ordinary people.
Others just felt that no one was talking in the tents, but Qin Xiao had already felt that there was not even any breath in the two tents.
It is impossible for a living person to be without breath.
There was no breath. Either there was no one in the two tents at all, or there was someone inside but they were dead.
Qin Xiao looked around, but did not see any horses. He was confused and wondered if all those people had left.
However, there were a lot of scattered food and water bags beside the fire. These things cannot be said to be very valuable, but if you leave, you must take them with you.
"Go in and take a look." Qin Xiao ordered.
The two cavalrymen dismounted and each went to a tent. One of them opened the tent, took a look inside, and immediately said to Qin Xiao: "Xiang Hihu, there is no one here!"
Qin Xiao was surprised when he heard an exclamation. It was another cavalryman who opened the tent. He was so horrified that he took a few steps back.
Qin Xiao didn't hesitate, got off his horse, rushed forward, opened the tent, took one look, and was horrified.
I saw several corpses piled up in the tent, like stacks of Arhats, which was extremely weird.
He frowned, walked into the tent, used his right hand to move his strength, and walked carefully to the side of the pile of corpses. Not to mention, there were exactly six people.
But there was no smell of blood inside the tent.
He stretched out his hand to pull it open and took a closer look, only to find that the throat bones of these people had been severed, but other than that, there were no other injuries on their bodies.
There is no doubt that these people were all killed by one blow and died by the same blow.
Taoist Yeling was killed because his throat was pierced with a sharp weapon, and he was fatal with one blow. However, these six people did not even need to use a sharp weapon, their throats were strangled directly.
Qin Xiao knew that it was impossible for ordinary people to have such strength. Even if they were strong, it would not be easy to break the throat bone.
The murderer was at least at the Zhongtian realm.
He frowned, really confused.
It was previously speculated that the death of Taoist Yeling was related to his companions, but now it seems that this is not the case.
The murderer clearly wanted to drive out Taoist Yeling and his group.
Qin Xiao really couldn't figure it out for a while, why did the murderer act like this?
Is it just to prevent Taoist Yeling and others from dealing with the epidemic in the grassland?
Or could it be said that the murderer was just targeting people from the Queen Mother Association?
He was confused in his heart, and suddenly heard a voice from outside: "Xiang Hito, come and see, there is something here!"
Qin Xiao went out of the tent and heard a voice coming from another tent. He walked into the tent and saw two cavalrymen in the tent. Qin Xiao saw
He came in and immediately got out of the way, but Qin Xiao saw several wooden boxes stacked in the corner of the tent. The cavalry had already pried open the top wooden box, and the lid of the box was opened, but the wooden boxes were neatly arranged.
Put a bamboo tube.
He felt strange in his heart. He took a bamboo tube in his hand. When he saw that the bamboo tube was sealed, he did not hesitate. He took the scimitar of a cavalryman and put it in his hand. He easily cut one end of the bamboo tube and took a look inside.
Seeing the powder inside, he suddenly understood and murmured: "Antidote, these are all antidote!"
At this time, I understood in my heart that if the inference was correct, Taoist Yeling only brought a bottle of antidote to the Kou Nan family, in order to gain the Kou Nan family's trust first.
If Yeling can reach an agreement with the Kuchunashi family, he will continue to treat the patients, and his companions will also go there with these antidotes.
The mounts of these six people were all missing. They were either taken away by the murderer or let go directly.
The murderer killed people but did not destroy the antidote, which shows that the murderer definitely did not want to prevent these people from rescuing the infected people on the grassland.
In this case, is it just to kill the Queen Mother's congregation?
Although the murderer's true intention could not be determined for a while, fortunately, a large amount of antidote was found. This was the most important thing at the moment. Qin Xiao did not hesitate and ordered people to take the antidote back to the Kou Nan camp first, leaving a few more
The individual buried the corpses.
Before burying them, Qin Xiao searched the corpses but found nothing useful.
After returning to the Kou Nan camp with several large boxes of antidote, the first thing Qin Xiao did was to confirm with Ye Daoquan whether the powder in the bamboo tube was the antidote.
Ye Daoquan quickly determined that the wooden boxes contained the antidote. After being confirmed, everyone cheered.
Without further ado, Qin Xiao and Ye Daoquan did not delay and began to use these antidotes to treat the infected people.
However, Ye Daoquan still needs to test the dosage required for each person.
Although there are several boxes of antidote at the moment, which seems to be a lot, the epidemic has spread to the entire Modong grassland. Qin Xiao knows that these boxes of antidote will never be able to completely solve the entire epidemic.
To solve the epidemic, Ye Daoquan also needs to find out the ingredients for preparing the antidote, so that it can be prepared in large quantities.
