Chapter 359 The Little Beggar’s Counterattack

"What's going on!" The noise in the military camp quickly attracted the attention of the generals in the main tent.

"Report to the general that croton was poisoned in the drinking water."

"What? Didn't I say there was something wrong with the pigs that were just delivered this afternoon?" Everyone's expressions changed drastically.

"Yes, there is indeed something wrong with those sick pigs. Those cooked pork were fed to rats. Half an hour after eating, the rats began to twitch all over and foam at the mouth."

"How many people have been poisoned?" the Lord asked solemnly.

"About 2000 soldiers have diarrhea now, and my subordinates have sent people to notify each battalion to check the drinking water."

"What did the military doctor say?"

"The military doctor said that he was discovered in time and the poisoning was not deep. Just drink a decoction and rest for a night, and there will be no problem!"

The Lord frowned, "Commissioner, are the herbs purchased by the army sufficient?"

The quartermaster was a tall, muscular man in his fifties. Hearing his lord's words, he quickly took out his account book and quickly looked through it. After a while, he said, "I just purchased a batch of herbs five days ago. There should be enough now. Please don't worry, lord." .”

The lord nodded, "General Jin, General Luo, and General Li, you go and discuss countermeasures immediately. The Qishan Army is likely to attack the camp tonight."

"Yes!" Several generals looked serious and turned around to enter the main tent of the Chinese army to discuss countermeasures.

"Let's go and check the situation!" The Lord's eyes were deep, and he stepped out with his long legs and full momentum.Today, problems occurred one after another in the military camp that he thought was impregnable!He wanted to see who was tampering with him in his camp!
"Doctor Hua, the medicine is ready." The apprentices came out of the kitchen carrying buckets of medicine, and almost vomited yesterday morning's breakfast due to the smell outside.

"Yuck~"

There were so many people poisoned that there simply weren't enough latrines. Many people even had severe attacks and had to be treated on the spot.

"So fast?" Old Doctor Hua was a little surprised when he covered his nose with cotton cloth. Didn't it take three-quarters of an hour after the medicine was started?It takes at least one to two quarters of an hour to boil a pot of medicine.

"What I usually teach you is that the medicine must be simmered for long enough. Otherwise, it will not be effective. No matter how anxious you are, otherwise you will not save people but harm them!"

Doctor Hua looked serious and asked them to put down the medicine as he spoke. He would taste it first. If the medicine was not strong enough, he would have to take it back and drink it again.

"Master, the foreman in the kitchen brought out the medicinal materials in advance. After we went over, we mixed the medicine directly and started cooking. Five large pots were cooked together. The fire was strong and it was cooked quickly." Apprentice. They quickly explained.

"Well, feed it to the soldiers quickly, one bowl per person." Doctor Hua said. Of course, he did not believe what the apprentices said, but after drinking it, he understood the specific effects of the medicine before letting the soldiers drink it with confidence.

"Yes!"

At this moment, the Lord was almost sent away by the stinking smell.

"Ugh~ cough!" The Lord coughed quickly to cover up the sound of retching. He asked with a dark face, "What's going on!"

"Back to my lord, the poisoning occurred too quickly. Almost everyone who ate the food from the right army's Dinghuotou camp was poisoned." The general who answered also covered his mouth and resisted vomiting.

"Can we find out who did it?" The lord asked as he led the people deeper.

"It hasn't been found yet, but the scouts found croton powder residue at the place where Dingzihuotou Camp draws water. It can be determined that someone poisoned the stream."

"What did the patrolling soldiers find?" The stream is flowing, and the croton powder will be washed away quickly when put in it, so the person who poisoned it must grasp the time when the gang leaders fetch water, and poison them a little in advance.

So this man must have been hanging around the military camp for several days.

"Nothing has been found yet!" The general felt cold sweat break out on his forehead. "This matter must be investigated strictly!" The Lord glanced at the General with an emotionless look.The general shivered with fright and almost fell to his knees.

"Yes!"

"Doctor Hua, how is the situation?" The Lord soon saw the busy figure of Dr. Hua.

"Ah?" Doctor Hua subconsciously raised his head, and when he saw his lord, he quickly saluted. "I have met my lord."

"No need to be polite, Mr. Hua, how are the conditions of the soldiers?" The Lord frowned, partly because of the stench, and partly because of the pale faces of the soldiers and their painful groans.

"General, don't worry. The soldiers are not seriously poisoned. They have been given the medicine. They can rest for a night and they will be able to stand up tomorrow." While Doctor Hua was talking to his lord, he also stopped moving when he was injured, and quickly gave the poisoned soldiers They give acupuncture.

"Then who are these?" The Lord pointed at his men who were stuck like hedgehogs.

"These few have been seriously poisoned. I'll give them a few injections to help them recover faster."

"Then it's troublesome for Mr. Hua." After understanding the situation, the Lord continued to move forward without disturbing Dr. Hua's treatment.Soon we arrived near Huotou Camp.

"Sister Qian, is the medicine soup ready? The military doctors have sent someone to rush for you again."

"Okay, bring the bucket over. After the fire is finished, it will be enough time." Qian Tongguang touched his sweat and drank the freshly cooled medicinal soup. She was also poisoned, but fortunately she was still alive. It's shallow and there is no delay in boiling the medicine.

"Master, medicine is being boiled in the kitchen, do you want to go and take a look?"

"No, don't delay the soldiers' work. Just take a look here." The Lord waved his hand.

Naturally, the general didn't dare to persuade him anymore when he saw this. He could only watch silently with his lord as the leading soldiers came back from outside carrying buckets of water. Their faces were pale, their foreheads were sweating, and they were stumbling, but they were holding on to their teeth. Teeth move forward step by step.

Then he watched the military medical apprentices carrying buckets of medicinal soup and hurriedly pass by him. They walked heavily but walked fast, but no matter how fast they were, the medicinal soup in the buckets did not spill out at all.

The lord looked at it for a while, and his heavy face gradually relaxed. He turned to the general and said, "How are the conditions of the military households accompanying the army? Is there a doctor to diagnose and treat them?"

The general was stunned for a moment when he heard this. It was too late for him to care about whether the Qing side army could survive this war. How could he still be in the mood to care about the life and death of the military households?

"Subordinate, send someone to check immediately!" The general lowered his head and clasped his hands in fists.

"Hurry up, the poisoning situation of the military households will not be much worse than that of the soldiers." The Lord waved and summoned a soldier, "Go and ask Doctor Hua if you can send two apprentices to the military households to have a look."

"Yes!" Xiaobing turned around and ran away quickly.

"Is there anyone outside?" Qian Tongguang, who has sensitive ears, asked as he looked at the foreman who had just brought in water.

"It seems like there are a few people standing outside, not knowing what they are doing." A gang leader said.

Qian Tongguang nodded. She was indeed right. She poured water into the pot, bucket after bucket, until the medicinal materials were gone. "Brother Wang, come and light the fire. I'll fetch water."

After she finished speaking, she gave her place to Wang Tiezhu, whose face was pale and his legs were trembling.

"Thank you, sister, I will definitely repay you someday!" The moment Wang Tiezhu stood up in front of him, his legs softened and he sat down directly.

Qian Tongguang picked up the bucket and walked out of the kitchen, "Huh? Where are the people?" She looked around and quickly spotted the backs of her lord and others, but they were already far away.I couldn't find a reason to come forward and strike up a conversation.

Forget it, if you missed it, just try it next time.
