Chapter 29: Epidemics in the Army

"Cousin Yu, why are you in such a hurry?" Tonggu followed the Seven Princes to the gate of the mansion.

"There was an accident in the army, and the soldiers were infected with the epidemic, but the holy water in your security hall did not work, I don't know if there is a change in this disease that affects the effectiveness of the medicine." For the first time, the fox eyes of the Seventh Prince were dyed with a helpless look.

"Don't worry, I'll wait until I see it." Tonggu comforted.

The two rode to the barracks on the outskirts of the city, where there were 50,000 soldiers, almost all of whom were sick.

"Find me an empty tent and bring in two infected soldiers so that I can conduct a detailed examination." Tonggu acted vigorously and took action.

The Seven Princes immediately arranged everything according to Tonggu's instructions, and Tonggu ran the five senses in the tent to carefully check the situation of the soldiers, but the more he checked, the more ugly Tonggu's expression became, which made the Seven Princes on the side tremble.

"Tonggu, tell me what's going on?" The Seventh Prince asked anxiously.

"They didn't have the epidemic, but they were hit by the Gu." Tong Gu looked at the Seven Princes with a solemn expression.

"What? Zhong Gu? Could it be related to the Four Emperor Brothers? "The first reaction of the Seventh Prince was the fourth brother of his evil sect, and this fourth brother has been learning evil arts with Concubine Chen since he was a child.

"It's not him, he's a gu, not a Gu master. There must be someone else. Tonggu analyzed carefully.

"Then can you cure this Gu?" The Seventh Prince now regards Tonggu as his only hope, after all, he has found all the doctors in the city, and even the Imperial Doctor Department has no one to treat him.

"I can't cure it." Tongya replied.

Shang Yishe collapsed instantly, and tears flowed down the fox's eyes. A fist slammed on the table and said, "I'm going to kill the Gu people." ”

"Don't worry, I can find someone to treat." Tonggu patted the Seventh Prince on the shoulder and said.

The Seventh Prince was almost angry with Tonggu, and said angrily: "Talking and panting, are you trying to kill me in a hurry?" ”

Tonggu Shi Ran said: "Don't be angry, you quickly send someone to bring the Yu Chef Niang in my yard and the cat in my yard, they can cure this Gu." ”

The Seventh Prince almost didn't vomit blood, he didn't expect Tonggu to find a cook and a cat to treat him. He didn't know if he was crazy or Tonggu was crazy, but now no one could cure this disease, so he could only be a dead horse as a live horse doctor, and go to Lei Mansion to ask for someone according to Tonggu's instructions.

It didn't take long for Chef Yu to walk into the tent with Yuji in her arms. Yu Chefniang knelt down and saluted Tonggu and said, "I've seen the three girls, and I've seen the Seventh Highness." ”

"Get up, I called you here today to let you unravel the Gu of the soldiers in the camp, and then you can do it according to the method I taught you." Tonggu concisely stated the purpose of letting them come, and then turned to the Seventh Prince and said, "Cousin Yu, we will let the warriors enter in groups of five, and after the five people are out of the tent, then call the five people in, and so on." During the treatment period, except for the Gu warriors, no one else should stay in the tent, and you will have to arrange it. ”

The Seventh Prince nodded in response. "Okay, then I'll go out and make arrangements."

After the Seven Princes walked out of the camp, Tonggu said to Yu Chuniang and Yuji: "I have a demonic power removal method here, and you two use demonic power to solve Gu for the warriors according to this method." ”

Chef Yu took the paper in Tonggu's hand and read it carefully. "Girl, this method doesn't seem to be a high-level spell, can it solve the Gu in the warriors?"

"One of them is the chancre Gu, on the Dragon Boat Festival, take centipedes and small snakes, ants, cicadas, earthworms, worms, hair, etc. This Gu is just a mortal Gu, there is no need for advanced spells, this kind of introductory spell is simple to cast, easy to use, and it is enough to deal with this kind of mortal Gu worm. The level of Gu among them is too deep, and it is too late to find herbal treatment, so they can only ask you to use demon magic to save them. Tonggu explained in detail.

"I know you have a lot of ideas in your little head, I helped you so much, how can you thank me?." Yuji joked on the side.

Tonggu said angrily: "You eat me and live mine, and you are embarrassed to say that I want to thank you?" You little demon is too shameless. ”

Before the words fell, I heard the Seventh Prince cough lightly outside the tent and said, "Tonggu, everything has been arranged, can I go in now?" ”

"Let the first warriors in." Tsuya replied.

The Seventh Prince asked his subordinates to carry five confused warriors into the camp, and after stabilizing the warriors, the subordinates retreated. Not long after the warrior who carried him in, he walked out on his own, and the whole person was completely restored to a state full of energy. The Seventh Prince was surprised to find a cured soldier and asked, "Why did you get cured so quickly?" ”

The warrior clasped his fists and replied: "Back to His Royal Highness the Seventh, the little one doesn't know what's going on, the little one was terminally ill before, but suddenly it's so good." His Highness should have invited a miracle doctor. ”

The Seventh Prince looked carefully for a long time with a pair of fox eyes, and found that the warriors had recovered as before, without any previous symptoms. The Seven Princes secretly claimed to be surprised, and there was another subtle emotional change for Tonggu.

Tonggu has nothing to do in the camp, and the treatment method Yu Chef Niang and Yuji have already mastered it, and there is no need for Tonggu to guide him. Tonggu stepped out of the tent and walked straight to the military kitchen. When the Seventh Prince saw Tonggu's figure, he immediately followed quickly.

"Tonggu, are you going to the room?" The Seventh Prince called Tonggu and asked.

"That's right, the Gu poison of the soldiers in the army is eaten, so I went to the gang room to see if there were any clues." The two of them had already entered the room.

"I've looked into it, but I haven't found anything suspicious. In the past few days, the soldiers in the gang have also contracted strange diseases, and none of them have been spared. Moreover, the soldiers in the army are all old people who have followed me for many years, and I trust them very much. The Seventh Prince pondered carefully in his mind.

Toya kept rummaging through the kitchen until he found a vat and said, "Found it, here." ”

The Seventh Prince looked at the half tank of water and asked, "You mean there is a problem with this water?" ”

Tonggu lowered his eyebrows and thought about it: "It should be that there is a problem with the source of the water." This water must be used more than one jar every day, if the person who is under the Gu only uses the Gu in one jar, it will not be able to poison so many warriors. Where does the water come from in the army? ”

The Seventh Prince's fox eyes opened slightly: "There are three wells in the army, is it related to the wells?" ”

After the two of them looked at the three wells together, they determined that the source of the Gu was indeed from the well.

"How did the Gu Bearer do it? There are no outsiders in my barracks. The Seventh Prince looked at Tonggu with a puzzled expression.

Tonggu held the bluestone by the well, looked towards the well, and suddenly his red eyes widened a little and said: "There is a snake corpse in the well, and this Gu is eighty percent brought by a snake." ”

"But the three wells all have Gu poison, could it be that the snake has become a spirit with such accurate Gu poison?" The Seventh Prince's mind is confused, and some authorities are confused.

Tonggu smiled and said meaningfully: "It's not that the snakes have become essences, it's someone who controls these snakes." A few days ago, Shang Yishe mentioned to me that Nanqiong was good at making Gu arts, and now they are in the capital, I don't believe in coincidences, this matter is inseparable from them. It's just that I deduce that there must be someone behind this. Because Nanqiong Guoxia poisoned the soldiers, there was no direct benefit to them. Guess which prince least wants you to have military power? ”

The Seven Princes suddenly realized, and a pair of fox eyes suddenly became evil and crazy. "Brother Emperor, only he doesn't want to see me have military power, he wants to weaken my power."

Tonggu's big red eyes narrowed with a smile, clapped his hands and said: "The eldest prince has a huge power in the court, but he has no military power. You have a heavy army and you are a competitor to him, so he naturally wants to take advantage of the outbreak of the epidemic, so that the mass death of the soldiers will not be questioned in the eyes of outsiders. ”

"It seems that this matter still needs to be considered in the long run, the great gift of the eldest brother, I have written it down." A murderous aura flashed in the fox eyes of the Seven Princes.

"Be calm, Shang Yishe and I will meet the monarch of Nanqiong Kingdom in a few days, and then we will try it out." Tonggu smiled indifferently and said lightly.

Tonggu left Yuji and Yu Chuniang in the army to treat Gu poison, and the Seven Princes and Tonggu took a carriage to the capital. Just halfway through, the carriage suddenly stopped, and the coachman whispered into the car: "Your Highness, the carriage was blocked by a group of homeless people, do you want to dispose of them?" ”

As soon as Tonggu heard this, he immediately reprimanded angrily: "The life of the homeless people is not a mustard? Are you people still human? ”

The coachman bowed his head and listened silently to the reprimand.

Tonggu lifted the curtain and got out of the carriage, and when the homeless people saw that Tonggu was dressed extraordinary, they knew that it was a girl from everyone's background, and they all came forward to ask for some food or silver. A woman covered in dirt and mud grabbed Tonggu's ankles and knelt on the ground crying. Seeing this, the coachman wanted to step forward to stop him, but was stopped by Tonggu, who helped the woman up and asked, "This eldest sister, you speak slowly." ”

Everyone was shocked to see Tonggu behaving like this, they fled all the way to the outside of the capital, and met many nobles, but all the nobles saw them and avoided them or scolded them, like Tonggu such a kind and not dirty nobleman They still saw it for the first time, and the grievances and anger buried in their hearts for many days suddenly turned into tears, and the crying continued.

The woman stabilized her mood and said, "This nobleman, the untouchables have escaped from a village, and this year's flooding is serious, and the village has been washed away by mud and rocks. Along the way, half of them died of illness, and finally escaped to the capital but were not allowed to enter the city, and now the untouchables have nowhere to go, and the food on their bodies has been eaten, so they only ask the nobles to give some food, so that the untouchables can live a few more days. ”

Tonggu took the woman's hand and said, "I have the food, but I can't give it to you for free, are you willing?" ”
