Text: Section 255 Gain and Loss
An Mingsheng's words were like a basin of cold water in the cold wind, which made everyone's hearts suddenly chill to the bone marrow. Tantai Mingyue bit her lip tightly, she felt that Zhang Ruming's bowl of poisonous wine was drunk for her, if it couldn't be cured, Tantai Mingyue would feel guilty for the rest of her life.
"Doctor An, although I don't know medical skills, the little woman thinks that all things in the world are mutually reinforcing, and there should be a corresponding method. Didn't you say that as long as you can find the source of the poison, you can formulate an antidote? Why now, you say? Tantai Mingyue looked at An Mingsheng with tears in her eyes, with pleading and a hint of complaint in her eyes.
An Mingsheng sighed, "I can prepare the antidote, but ~ what's the use of having a prescription." ”
Yutai Mingyue and everyone were stunned, since it can be prepared, why is it useless? Just when everyone was puzzled, the old bee picker said.
"It's useless for you to force him, Old Man An is right, he can write the prescription for the antidote. But where do you look for a primer to restrain the desert salamander? ”
Yutai Mingyue was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked, "Mr. Fan, is it very difficult to find a medicine primer to restrain the desert salamander?" ”
Tantai Mingyue also became polite, and now she can only ask for help from these two people. Even if there is a glimmer of hope, Tai Mingyue will save Shangguan Xuanwu.
The old man who collected the medicine looked at the Mingyue of the Tai Tai, "This girl, do you know that the desert salamander is pharmacologically the poison of the Zhiyin in the land of the sun. If you want to restrain its poison, you must be the most yang thing in the land of yin. Not to mention Chengyang Mansion, I'm afraid that the entire Great Xia will not be able to find this thing. ”
Doctor An also explained, "My lord, when I was old and young, I heard that there was a thing that could restrain the poison of the desert salamander. But it's so rare that even if you know where it's made, you'll probably be able to find it for months. In terms of time, it was too late. ”
"Doctor Anshen, what are you talking about, maybe, I can find a way." Yutai Mingyue asked anxiously.
Doctor An pondered for a moment and said, "The desert salamander lives in the dry and hot desert, but it burrows into the desert all day long, and it gives birth to this kind of yin and dry poison. If you want to restrain it, my father once said that in the northern cold and extremely yin land, there is a kind of fire bat. These fire bats live in ice caves, but they absorb the heat of the ground all day long. The ambergris of fire bats can restrain the poison of salamanders. According to medical records, this fire bat only grows in ~. ”
"Beiming Glacier Flame Cave, are you talking about the glacier red bat?" Yutai Mingyue said.
Doctor An was stunned for a moment and nodded, "Yes, it's the place of the Beiming Glacier." But it's not a red bat, I don't know, the medical book just says it's called a fire bat. My lord, how do you know? ”
Yutai Mingyuexin said that it was the Holy Land of Beiming, and as the princess of Beiming, of course she knew about this place. Yutai Mingyue didn't have time to explain, so she hurriedly asked.
"Doctor An, Mr. Fan, I don't know if you two have a way to temporarily suppress the toxins on Lord Shangguan's body. I'll need ~fifteen days at least, and maybe I'll get ambergris by then. ”
"You~ You have a way?" An Mingsheng looked at Tantai Mingyue in surprise.
"You think of other medicines, and I'll give it to me. However, I need time. ”
An Mingsheng thought for a while, "Ten days, this kind of toxic decay can only be guaranteed for ten days." ”
Yutai Mingyue frowned, "Okay, then let's do our best." ”
Tantai Mingyue asked people to settle that Mr. Fan, and she didn't dare to let the two of them leave these days. In case Zhang Ruming has any symptoms, he will be helpless at all.
Yutai Mingyue waited anxiously, waiting for Da Fei's arrival. She knew that only Da Fei's speed could quickly go back and forth between Beiming and Daxia, but whether she could complete the task or not, Lantai Mingyue had no confidence in her heart. According to the time, Da Fei should have come to Chengyang Mansion in this day or two.
With the assistance of the old bee picker, the two jointly developed an antidote. Other medicines are easy to find, even if Chengyang Mansion does not have them, they can be found in surrounding cities. After all, these herbs are not rare and scarce, only this manta saliva is empty.
Two days later, Da Fei came to Chengyang Mansion with Duan Lang's letter. Tangtai Mingyue didn't care about opening the letter, and hurriedly took Da Fei to Shangguan Xuanwu's bedroom. At this time, Shangguan Xuanwu's face was bruised, if it weren't for the breathing, Tangtai Mingyue wouldn't have dared to believe that he was still alive.
Shangguan Xuanwu's breath carried a peculiar smell, and Da Fei seemed to be extremely resistant to this breath, and let out a low sound from time to time.
Yutai Mingyue stroked Da Fei's smooth feathers and whispered, "Da Fei, I know you can understand what I mean." Brother Zhang is highly poisonous, and he must trouble you to go on a run. Do you remember my Xianglu City in Beiming? From Xianglu Castle to the north, there is a mountain covered with snow and ice. Big fly, there is a kind of red bat. ”
Tantai Mingyue said, taking out the portrait of the fire bat that had already been drawn, "Da Fei, it's this kind of thing, you have to catch one alive and come back." The sooner the better, otherwise Brother Zhang will be hopeless. ”
Da Fei stared at the portrait in Mingyue's hand, Mingyue was afraid that it didn't understand, so she repeated it again.
"Da Fei, please, otherwise Duan Lang and I will be very sad." Tantai Mingyue looked at Da Fei with a cry, she didn't know if Da Fei understood, and at present, she could only pin her hopes on Da Fei.
Da Fei turned his head to look at Zhang Ruming on the couch, and whispered softly. Yutai Mingyue was stunned for a moment, "Da Fei, do you understand?" ”
Da Fei raised his head and arched the jade hand of Gongtai Mingyue, spread his wings and jumped out. As soon as he walked out of the room, Da Fei suddenly flapped his wings and flew into the air. Yutai Mingyue ran out of the door, nervously looking at Da Fei in the distance, and kept praying in her heart. She prayed that Da Fei would come back soon, otherwise Zhang Ruming would not be able to hold on, and everything would come to naught.
Doctor An Shen prepared several pairs of herbs and forcibly poured them into Zhang Ruming's mouth every day. Although Zhang Ruming's face was like a dead man, he kept his breathing weakly. The old bee collector seemed to be interested in Zhang Ruming's poison, and from time to time he obtained some blood and studied it with the doctor Anshen. The two also felt strange, they found that Zhang Ruming's poison was not as domineering as they imagined. Although it is difficult to remove, the toxin spreads slowly. The doctor didn't know that the person who poisoned only used one-third of the dose, otherwise he would have died of poison.
After reading Duan Lang's letter, she learned that Duan Lang wanted to recover He Lianjia and Yan Facheng, but she did not raise any objections. Even if there were different suggestions, Tangtai Mingyue would not be able to contact Duan Lang for the time being. After all, Xiaobai has never been to Chengyang Mansion, so he can't find it here at all.
In the mansion of Zheng Zechang in Chengyang Mansion, Sado learned that An Mingsheng was being rescued, and he had been waiting for news. Sado didn't think that anyone could remove the poison of Shangguan Xuanwu, but although the poison that assassinated Tangtai Mingyue was domineering, as long as it could be suppressed in time, it would not be difficult to rescue it.
"Zechang, you still have to go to find out the news in the past two days. I always felt that something was wrong, that the soldiers and horses in the capital seemed too calm. Perhaps, the Mingyue military division only scratched a little skin, and maybe he was rescued by An Mingsheng. Sado said suspiciously.
"Pavilion Master, I think we should leave as soon as possible. I've been feeling a little nervous these days, and if they find out the clues, it's too late to leave. Zheng Zechang said embarrassedly.
Saduo's eyes sharpened, "Zechang, when there is chaos today, it's hard to say what this Great Xia will become in the future." But no matter who wins in the end, Duan Lang Xiao'er must not be allowed to take advantage. Otherwise, you and I will be hunted down. Therefore, both public and private, you can't let Tantai Mingyue live. ”
"But Pavilion Master, even if you continue to wait now, I'm afraid it will be difficult to find an opportunity."
Sado shook his head, "Chengyang Mansion announced that it would take refuge in Duan Lang, which is tantamount to touching the scales of rebellion for Delong. No matter how scarce the court's soldiers were, the old man believed that Delong would definitely send a large army. When the time comes, there will be times when the city is in turmoil, and there will always be times when they are negligent. ”
For Sado's persistence and persistence, Zheng Zechang could only wait helplessly. Even if he was worried, he didn't dare to disobey Sado's orders.
The news of the Chengyang Mansion uprising soon spread throughout Great Xia. Above the Kyoto court, the courtiers were even more shocked by this news and were a little overwhelmed. Prince Hong suffered heavy losses, and the courtiers were already in danger, and now even the lower capitals have to take refuge in Duan Lang, how can this country be stable.
The battle reports of the past few days have made Delong's complexion extremely bad. But when he learned that Liang Yi had taken refuge with Duan Lang, Delong was even more angry and rushed to the crown. No matter how much Chu Ti tried to dissuade him, Delong still forced Prince Hong to divide his troops to fight. Not only that, Delong also intercepted the 200,000 soldiers and horses dispatched by Ma Ruzheng to protect the safety of Kyoto.
In Yixiang City, Prince Hong couldn't help beating his chest and lamenting when he saw Delong's thunderous decree.
"The vertical son is incompetent, my Great Xia Jiangshan ~ is dead!" Prince Hong was grief and indignation, and a mouthful of old blood spurted out, so frightened that Deguang hurriedly stepped forward and hugged Prince Hong.
The accompanying imperial doctor provided emergency assistance, and finally pulled Prince Hong's old life back from the ghost gate.
"Uncle, you must take care, the army can't do without you." Tokumitsu looked at Prince Hong worriedly.
Prince Hong gasped faintly, "Although the vertical son is incompetent, the king's order~ cannot be violated." Deguang, the army is handed over to you~ send ~ send 50,000 soldiers and horses ~ go through the motions. ”
"Uncle, don't worry about this matter, Deguang will report to Emperor Delong immediately, and the 200,000 soldiers and horses in the Western Theater must be sent over. Otherwise, we will no longer be able to stop the Nanping army. Deguang said with anger suppressed.
Prince Hong let out a long sigh and took out the commander's talisman, "This king~ is old, everything in the army, you can ~ arrange it yourself." ”
Prince Hong handed over the talisman, gasped with relief, and closed his eyes slightly. At this point, Prince Hong couldn't do anything, so he could only hand it over to Deguang to take a step at a time.
In Chengyang Mansion, after rigorous analysis and judgment these days, Tangtai Mingyue can determine that the poisoner is Zheng Zechang. But the people who entered and exited Zheng Zechang's mansion did not show that there was a mastermind behind the scenes, so Yutai Mingyue never gave the order to do it.
In the palace, Yutai Mingyue and Yin Liangyi had a detailed discussion. She believed that Liang Yi was sincerely taking refuge, and she didn't know what kind of force Zheng Zechang belonged to. Knowing that Zheng Zechang was the one who poisoned him, Liang Yi was surprised and couldn't believe it. But in the face of the facts, he had to accept the result. After thinking about it, Liang Yi understood why Zheng Zechang insisted on going out of the city to greet him. Several sides were confronted, and a complete poisoning plan was revealed.
"Master Soldier, they all blame me for not knowing people, which caused Lord Shangguan to be highly poisonous. I will order that all the Zheng Mansion be arrested, and the official will see what kind of lackey he is. Liang Yi said angrily.
"Lord Liang doesn't have to be in a hurry, Zheng Zechang's mansion has been closely monitored, and he can't escape. Wait for Lord Shangguan's poison to be lifted, and he will do it himself. Yutai Mingyue persuaded.
"Why, so that the doctor can be cured? That's great. Liang Yi looked at the moon happily.
Tantai Mingyue smiled bitterly, "I don't know if it can be detoxified, I hope it will be in time." These days, the government affairs in the city will be handed over to Lord Liang, how hard you are. As for the safety of the city's defense, Lord Liang doesn't have to worry too much, the two generals, Zhang Qifeng and Huang Zhi, will definitely keep Chengyang Mansion safe. ”
"Okay, then if there is any need on Lord Shangguan's side, you can just command." Liang Yi stood up and said.
Tantai Mingyue nodded, she has no intention of dealing with government affairs now, she just wants Da Fei to come back in time. After sending Liang Yi away, Yutai Mingyue immediately came to the room of the doctor and the bee picker.
"Doctor An, Mr. Fan, tomorrow will be the tenth day, in case the medicine is not available, Lord Shangguan~ Can you delay for a few more days?" Yutai Mingyue pleaded.
These days, Lantai Mingyue takes great care of the two, and the attitude of the old beekeeper towards her has also changed greatly. Looking at the anxious appearance of the bright moon in Taitai, the old bee picker said.
"Master Strategist doesn't need to be anxious, I analyzed it with Old Man An, and I think it shouldn't be a problem for Lord Shangguan to delay for another three or four days. I don't know why, this time the source of the poison attacked very slowly, maybe this is Shangguan Lord Jiren's own natural appearance. ”
Old Man Fan listened to everyone else call Mingyue Military Master, and he followed suit. The old bee picker, who had changed into new clothes, was like a different person than when he first came. Although it is a little thin, it is also quite a bit of a hermit.
When Tantai Mingyue heard this, she immediately said happily, "Great, if the two of you still need anything, please feel free to give me orders." ”
"By the way, Master Strategist asked me to check the poison of the short blade, and I have already told Old Man An below."
Doctor An nodded and took out a list of medicines, "Master Strategist, this is the prescription for the poison of the short blade." ”
Tantai Mingyue took it and looked at it, and said to Xiang Tian behind her, "Xiang Tian, immediately send someone to post it in the whole city, and say that the government is seeking a few main medicines on it at a high price." Remember, focus on the people who are holding the Zheng Mansion. ”
"No!" Xiang Tian agreed, turned around and walked out.
Tantai Mingyue accompanied the two of them again and went to see Zhang Ruming's situation. For nearly ten days, Zhang Ruming's face at this time not only turned black, but even his hands and feet became bruised. The room was filled with this stench.
In Zheng Zechang's mansion, Sado looked at the medicine search notice posted by the government office, and saw at a glance that this was the antidote formula for his short blade poison. The corners of Sado's eyes moved, and his heart said that since you want to seek death, then the old man will give you another ride. Sado immediately decided to let Zheng Zechang personally present these main medicines. However, there is a taste of herbs in this, and Sado has moved his hands. If you still follow this recipe, you will definitely die if you drink it.
Ten days have passed, and Da Fei still has not moved. Not only was Lantai Mingyue anxious, but Duan Lang, who was in Huining City, was also a little inexplicable. These days, he hasn't received any news from Chengyang Mansion. Not only that, but even Da Fei is nowhere to be found.
Twelve days have passed, and Liang Yi has received several main drugs contributed by Zheng Zechang. In the face of this false businessman, Liang Yi did not show his inner resentment. Tangtai Mingyue ignored these, Da Fei still had no news, and she couldn't sit still.
At noon on the 14th, Zhang Ruming's body finally deteriorated, and black blood actually came out of his ears and nose. The doctor hurriedly used the silver needle, and the bee picker also put on a century-old ginseng that was treasured in the breast bag, which could be regarded as stabilizing Zhang Ruming's symptoms.
Yutai Mingyue prayed nervously, asking the gods in the sky to give this fake heavenly master power. As long as he is brought back to life, Tangtai Mingyue would rather build a brand-new prayer temple for Zhang Ruming and let him retreat in it to repent.
"Master Commander, the old man has done his best, I'm afraid that ~ three hours later, Lord Shangguan will have another seizure. When the time comes~ I still hope ~ I hope that the military master will not blame. Doctor An looked at Tantai Mingyue with tired eyes, he knew that when he had another attack, it would be Shangguan Xuanwu's last moment.
Yutai Mingyue bit her slightly trembling lip, not knowing what to say. At this moment, a faint eagle's cry was heard in the air. A black shadow staggered from a distance, and a big swoop fell into the backyard of the mansion.
Tangtai Mingyue and the others were startled, and Gu Fan ran over. found Da Fei lying on the ground and raised his head weakly. Da Fei's usual bright eyes actually turned red.
Tangtai Mingyue also ran over, looking at Da Fei's appearance, Tangtai Mingyue covered her mouth and almost screamed. She found that Da Fei was clutching a red bat in his left paw. But the bat's sharp teeth bit into Da Fei's legs. Looking at Da Fei's situation, it is obvious that he was poisoned by the fire bat, and he has barely persevered until now. As soon as Mingyue was about to reach out and pick up the fire bat that was biting Dafei, she heard the old bee picker shout in horror.
"Don't touch it~ Leave!"
An exclamation frightened everyone, and seeing that the fingers of the bright moon were about to touch the fire bat, the creature suddenly let go of its mouth and looked back. Gu Fan was the closest, and suddenly pulled the moon from the platform, and the sharp teeth of the fire bat almost bit the jade hand of the moon with the light of the day.
