It was a dog day and the weather was hot, and when Mu Chenmo and Qi Yu came out of the tent, they saw groups of soldiers walking towards the river with plates.

Suddenly, there was a commotion by the river, Mu Chenmo and Qi Yu hurried over, only to see a burly man patting his leg, and a black insect with a finger length biting on his calf.

The doctor in the army rushed to take down the bugs, and the people standing on the side whispered in panic.

"Do you think he'll become the fourteenth human corpse too?"

When Mu Chenmo heard this, he hurriedly went over to ask them, and learned that all the dead people had the experience of being bitten by leeches, so he hurriedly glanced at Qi Yu and went to find the doctor in the army together.

When I came to the tent where the doctor in the army was, I saw the bitten man scolding and saying loudly.

"Doctor Zhou, you said that I wouldn't be going to die, or you would kill me with a knife, I don't want to be like them."

Dr. Zhou comforted him while cleaning his wounds, so many bites are fine every day, what are you talking about.

Doctor Zhou saw Mu Chenmo and Qi Yu come in, patted Dahan and asked him to rest here first, and took them out to talk.

"You're here for the leeches." Dr. Zhou looked in the direction of Xiaohe and sighed, "I burned most of the corpses of those insects, so leave a few to study with me." ”

Mu Chenmo followed Dr. Zhou to another tent, only to see Dr. Zhou pour out a black oblong insect with centipede legs that was three or four centimeters long and about five millimeters wide from the porcelain bottle.

"Dr. Zhou has made discoveries during this period of research." Mu Chenmo looked at Dr. Zhou.

"This insect should be the poison king born after the drought leech and the poisonous centipede kill each other, and the two mutant leeches should come from southern Xinjiang." Dr. Zhou replied affirmatively

"Seventh Prince, Lord Mu!" Father-in-law Cao ran panting, ran over and wiped the sweat on his head and said to the two: "Both of you hurry up and enter the palace with the miscellaneous family." ”

Qi Yu and Mu Chenmo glanced at each other and followed Gonggong Cao into the palace.

As soon as the two came to the palace, they saw that the emperor urgently recruited the ministers into the palace to discuss matters, and the two followed everyone to the Jinluan Palace.

"Recently, the border pass sent people to send an urgent report every day, the Hun army has attacked Yumen Pass, what do you propose Aiqing?"

Mu Chenmo shrank in the corner, watching the ministers talk about the situation in the current court, when a voice suddenly sounded.

"Your Majesty, Weichen recommends Lord Mu."

As soon as Mu Chenmo heard it, it was actually Lord Liu, who had always been against her, standing in the hall, and couldn't help but secretly curse this old man in his heart, why he couldn't get along with himself all the time, he was called without knowing anything, and he directly pushed the matter on himself.

"Chenmo, I'm too young, and my qualifications are still shallow." The emperor looked at Mu Chenmo with pity.

Mu Chenmo raised his head and secretly glanced at the emperor, and found that although the emperor's tone was full of kindness, his eyes were a little cold.

Mu Chenmo had a clear understanding in his heart, and secretly sighed at the emperor's mental technique, it seemed that he was too sharp during this time, which made Longxin suspicious.

"Your Majesty, Weichen can't afford to take on this heavy responsibility." Mu Chenmo lifted his robe and knelt down.

"Weichen is ashamed to take over the position of Shaoqing of Dali Temple as a weak crown, how can he lead the troops." Mu Chenmo looked at the emperor reverently.

The emperor was very satisfied with Mu Chenmo's performance: "The general who protects the country died in the war for the country, how can I bear to let this pulse of his vein be broken, Chenmo, you should also marry a wife and have children as soon as possible, and continue the incense for the Mu family." ”

Mu Chenmo thanked the emperor for Dade.

The emperor paused: "But who else has to recommend." ”

Prime Minister Zhang Cheng thought for a while and stepped forward and said: "Weichen recommended Yang Xuan, the hussar general, as the general of the expedition to the north to reinforce Yumen Pass. ”

The emperor readily agreed, and the household department prepared grain and grass to set off on the same day, and the ministers seconded the proposal to withdraw from the court.

As soon as Mu Chenmo and Qi Yu were allowed to leave, Gonggong Cao came over to spread the word that the emperor wanted to ask about the human skin case, and asked the two of them to go to the imperial study.

When the two came to the imperial study, Mu Chenmo just wanted to open his mouth to report, but was squeezed aside by Qi Yu beside him.

Qi Yu spoke first: "Father, the soldiers in the army who are in the human skin case are all poisoned by the Gu poison in Southern Xinjiang. ”

The emperor looked at Qi Yu below and said with a kind face: "Old Seven, how did you find out, what evidence do you have?" ”

"Father, I asked Cui Chengzuo to conduct an autopsy, and found that they were all bitten by insects, and then traced it all the way, knowing that it was Gu poison." In the end, he didn't forget to look at Mu Chenmo triumphantly.

Mu Chenmo was furious in his heart, you are Qi Yu, you actually grabbed merit in front of the emperor.

"I don't know who it was, but when I saw the corpse, I turned around and went out, and all the bile on my face came out." Mu Chenmo said sarcastically.

Qi Yu was unconvinced and retorted: "Cui Chengzuo was found by me." ”

"Then please tell us what the corpse looks like, and where are the parts that were bitten by insects."

Mu Chenmo looked at Qi Yu with an expression that you said you said you have the final say.

The emperor looked at the two people below who were-for-tat and refused to give in to each other and said.

"Old Seven, don't mess around, it's child's play if there is such a big incident in the army."

Mu Chenmo reported the situation found in the autopsy and the appearance of the Gu worm to the emperor one by one.

After hearing this, the emperor looked at Mu Chenmo and Qi Yu thoughtfully: "Now that the border is unstable, don't let this matter shake the hearts of the army, Lao Qi and Chen Mo limit you to catch the murderer within three days." ”

"Old Seven, the situation is not very good now, you have to restrain your temperament, this case should be quickly understood in order to stabilize the morale of the army, how can you grab this credit from Mu Chenmo." The emperor looked at Qi Yudao, who was not angry.

"I was looking for my father's work, and of course the autopsy has to be mine." Qi Yu opened his mouth to defend himself, and looked at the emperor with eyes that you can't fight for.

Qi Yu shrank his neck in fright, and the emperor said sharply when he saw his appearance.

"You've been a weak champion for a year, how can you still be a fool all day long."

The emperor frowned and looked at Qi Yu with a stalk on his neck in front of him, thinking to himself how this son gave birth to a talent, but he didn't learn and didn't know how to do it?

The emperor reprimanded Qi Yu a few words, appeased Mu Chenmo, and let his son retreat.

Back in the barracks, Mu Chenmo unconsciously came to the river, and there was silence all around, thinking about the case in his heart.

Suddenly, a figure flashed, Mu Chenmo hurriedly chased after him, only to see the man in red leaning against a tree waiting for him.

Mu Chenmo's figure moved, grabbed the throat of the man in red, and said gloomily: "What the hell are you giving me to eat." ”

The man in red grinned at her: "Do you want to know who is the Gu?" ”

"Mu Chenmo!" Qi Yu's voice came from afar.

Mu Chenmo stared at the man in red: "You know. ”

"I'll help you find the person who gave you the Gu, and I can also give you the solution to the Gu, but you have to promise me one thing." The man in red said.

"Impossible."

Mu Chenmo replied quickly, how could he be threatened.

"Don't violate your bottom line, don't hurt your family, I just want you to help me find out something, and I can detoxify you first, what do you think." Listening to Qi Yu's voice getting closer and closer, the man in red said quickly.

"Can't the Four Princes help you finish it?" Mu Chenmo looked at the man in red and asked.

"If it can be done, will I still send you an antidote?" The man in red said disdainfully.

Mu Chenmo looked at the man contemplatively, a little inexplicable in his heart, this person suddenly poisoned him, and suddenly detoxified him, what is the picture, is it really just what he said.

"Mu Chenmo?" Qi Yu's voice was getting closer and closer.

"To show sincerity, then." The man in red threw Mu Chenmo a small porcelain vase.

"One pill a day, three days later, the poison will be cured." After saying that, a dodge disappeared.

"Mu Chenmo, why don't you say anything to me here." Qi Yu walked over and looked at Mu Chenmodao.

Mu Chen glanced at him: "What should you do, do you want to grab credit again?" ”

Qi Yu excused himself in embarrassment, and when he saw Mu Chenmo ignoring him, he touched his nose boredly.

I saw Mu Chenmo holding a branch in his hand, pulling the grass as he walked, bending down from time to time to look, and walking upstream along the river.

Mu Chenmo thought as he walked, since someone was tricked, he would definitely leave traces, thinking about what the soldiers said during the visit, these people all have the following things in common, they love to be clean, they don't fit in, they all know how to read and have a certain cultural accomplishment, and they look down on those old and rough soldiers.

Now that the weather is so hot, people who love cleanliness love to take a bath, and today I saw that there are indeed leeches in this river, and those Gu worms will also enter the body in the bath and begin to reproduce.
