Chapter Eighty-Seven: Butterfly Gu

When Su Yi returned to the palace, she took the things she bought on the street and gave them to Yun Rou and Qiu Ruo. The workmanship is not very delicate. It's very good-looking. Both of them were very happy.

It's late afternoon. But the nobles came and told the interesting story of the queen summoning their concubines to visit the garden. Looks like I've thought of something. She said with an embarrassed face: "Suyi. I'm sorry for you......"

Su Yi didn't know why. "What's wrong?"

"I lost the veil you gave me the other day...... The queen summoned all the concubines to visit the garden that day, and when she returned, she found that she was gone. Later, I asked the palace maid to look for it, but I couldn't find it. I don't know where it fell......"

Su Yi smiled lightly: "It's okay. I'll embroider another one for you another day."

"Good. Then I want a hibiscus pattern......"

"Hmm. Your favorite hibiscus. I know ......."

Jia Guiren was slightly stunned. He immediately shook Su Yi's hand.

It's night. Su Yi found a pattern and thought about what kind of pattern to embroider. Qiu Ruo asked, "It's late at night. If you want to embroider, let's embroider tomorrow."

"The nobleman asked me to embroider a silk handkerchief for her. I'm thinking......"

The words are not finished. Yun Rou interrupted her: "There are so many people on the needle. Why do you want our girl to embroider it for her? It's a cold day. If you get frostbite, you can do it."

Su Yi just smiled. Look at the pattern in your hand. "It's okay. There's nothing I can do anyway. It's time to pass the time."

Raising her eyes, she saw Yun Rou's displeasure. Then he persuaded, "Where am I so delicate? I have been a palace maid in the palace for so many years. It's no longer the boudoir lady she used to be. Don't think I'm too weak......"

"You're weak. Since the Thousand Days of Sleep, the imperial doctors have said not to work hard......" Yun Rou said in a condensed voice. Suddenly, it stopped. Seeing Qiu Ruo glaring at her, he just smiled dryly. Silenced.

"What a thousand days of sleep." Su Yi asked suspiciously.

"Nothing." Qiu Ruo said. If the girl wants to embroider the bento and embroider it, let's play. The nobleman didn't say when he wanted it. The girl is looking at her body."

Su Yi nodded. Take a closer look at the patterns in your hands.

At the foot of Gong Mountain is the camp where the Qing army is stationed.

At this time, the barracks was silent. The faces of the crowd condensed. Zhishan was tearful and wiped the cold sweat on Gu Yanzhao's forehead. In winter, the tent is extremely cold. But he had an attack because of Gu poison. His clothes were almost soaking wet. The military doctor gave him an injection. Then he fainted and fell asleep. Zhishan felt very uncomfortable. He has been well since he came back from the mountain that day. She thought that the butterfly Gu was just a disguise. The Hmong are just trying to intimidate them. But early this morning, she heard the sound of breaking things in his tent. When I looked inside, I found that he was having a poisonous attack. The pain is unbearable. Cramps all over the body.

Zhang Guangsi stood on one side and looked at Gu Yanzhao's pale sleeping face. A pang of remorse in my heart. He shouldn't have let the general take this risk. He is also ashamed of the way the general looks now. It's just that it's too late to regret it now.

Zhishan combed his sideburns for him. Stood up. Said: "Brother Zhang. Trouble you to take care of the general."

Shake the hand towel. And he strode out of the tent. Zhang Guangsi didn't know what to do. Hurriedly chased out. saw that Zhishan actually went to the stables to lead the horses. Hurriedly ran over. Stop in front of her. Ask: "What do you do to go?"

Zhishan spared him." You don't care."

Zhang Guangsi stepped forward quickly. Still in front of her: "Where the hell are you going? The general is like this, and you don't stay in the camp to take care of him. But where are you going?"

Zhishan didn't look at him. Zhang Guangsi suddenly realized. Said: "You're going to find someone from Hongyu Village."

"I'm going to find an antidote." Zhishan dropped a sentence and straightened the rope. Zhang Guangsi pressed her hand: "There is no antidote to the butterfly Gu. It's not that you don't know. Or are you not looking for an antidote at all."

"There is no cure. Then she will pay for her life." Zhishan shook off his hand. Turn over and get on the horse. The legs are clamped and gone.

Zhang Guangsi hasn't reacted yet. I saw nothing but dust flying on the ground. I saw that Zhishan had already run out of the camp. I can't help but get up in a hurry. "Oh my God. What's going on?"

I wanted to lead the horse to chase it. But after a little thought, he went into the tent again. Seeing that Gu Yanzhao was still in a coma. Then he said to the military doctor: "Doctor Cheng. Do you have a way to wake up the general?"

Dr. Cheng was embarrassed and said, "Yes, yes. It's just that the general is now suffering from a poisonous attack, and if he wakes up at this time, it will inevitably be another torment."

Zhang Guangsi sighed. That's how good it is."

I thought about it for a moment. He also said: "General Gu has Dr. Lao Cheng. I've got something to go out about."

"The old man will do his best to take care of the general." Doctor Cheng arched his hand and said.

Zhang Guangsi lifted the curtain and walked out. A few words to a soldier. Then he turned and walked to the stable, and led the horse. But after a moment's work, I saw Zhang Zhao hurrying over." Adjutant General Zhang."

"I've got something to go out about. The affairs of the camp will be your agent for the time being." ZHANG Guangsidao.

Although Zhang Zhao had doubts, it could be seen that his expression was anxious, and it was inconvenient to ask. I had to say, "Yes. Vice Admiral Zhang rest assured."

Zhang Guangsi turned over and got on the horse. Running out of the camp.

The horse's hooves gallop by. Patches of yellow sand are dusty.

Because the terrain of Gongshan is steep. Uninhabitable. Therefore, as soon as he took the Red Rain Village, Gu Yanzhao arranged a group of people in the village to enter Jiuyun City nearby.

Initially. Zhang Guangsi was reluctant in his heart. In his opinion, as long as he sent troops to be stationed in Hongyu Village. Just prevent the rebels from attacking them as they cross the Wucang River. As for later. Whether they are willing to surrender or not. Their commitment to Gongshan did not pose any threat to the management of the Qing army. As long as the situation in the southwest is stabilized. A small red rain village can't make any waves.

But Gu Yanzhao put their diet and daily life. The sideline work of workers and peasants is properly arranged. Zhang Guangsi had to admire in his heart. After Gu poison in the body, you can still have this mind. He asked himself if he could do it. But Gu Yanzhao did it. He tolerated Xiang Lei's betrayal. Tolerate the cruelty of the lark. It is more tolerant of all kinds of difficulties of the people of Hongyuzhai. This kind of magnanimity is that he has been galloping on the field for many years, and he has to be praised.

Jiuyun City is a small town. It was originally a camp where the rebel leaders of the Miao tribe in the southwest were stationed. But Gu Yanzhao commanded the three armies. Strategizing. However, after a few battles, the rebels were defeated and retreated, abandoning the city and fleeing. After retreating to the Wucang River north of Gongshan.

At this time, Jiuyun City has returned to a quiet and peaceful place. After taking Jiuyun City, Gu Yanzhao chose the local ethnic leader to serve as the magistrate. Moreover, the method of adapting measures to local conditions was adopted to eliminate the rebellious psychology of the local people against the rule of the Qing army.

Zhang Guangsi went all the way into the city. The city is bustling. The people of Hongyu Village are arranged in the north direction of the city. It's just that I don't know if Bailing is in the north of the city. Because Xiang Lei's injury was not completely healed at that time. When they came down the mountain, they heard the mother-in-law say that they would stay on the mountain to heal Xiang Lei's wounds.

Zhang Guangsi traveled to the Handong ditch in the north of the city. From afar, I saw the red horse tied to the door. My heart was slightly relieved. It seems that Fucha Zhishan did not go up the mountain.

Tie the horse to the trunk of the tree. He hurried to the courtyard. I feel strange in my heart. I didn't see anyone when I entered the door. It was only when I entered the weeping flower door that I heard a faint sound inside. Rao entered the inner courtyard and saw two delicate figures scuffling together. Zhang Guangsi was shocked. "Stop."

But where did the two listen to him? Next to it stood the owner of the village and the lady of the owner. and two Miao retinues. But no one wanted to pull them apart.

Zhang Guangsi looked at the two people who were flying sideways. Just a burst of amazement. Fucha Zhishan's martial arts he had seen in the capital. I can't imagine that Bailing is so good at a young age. I saw Fucha Zhishan hit Bai Ling in the lower abdomen with a left hook. Bai Ling wanted to dodge sideways, but maybe he was too anxious and didn't dodge, but instead took a punch. Two steps back. Heng Mei glared at Zhishan angrily. Zhishan was arrogant. said: "Those who know each other will hand over the antidote to the butterfly Gu. Miss Ben will let you go today."

Bai Ling rubbed his lower abdomen. Snorted: "It's not certain who will let who go."

Fucha Zhishan was even more angry when she saw her say this. Swing your fist and try to hit her. Zhang Guangsi hurriedly flew forward. Stopped the two. He said, "Stop first. Listen to me."

But the two people who were being burned in anger were willing to pay attention to him. Seeing that he was in the middle, they attacked him together. Zhang Guangsi couldn't bear to attack them, but he was in a hurry by their repeated attacks and couldn't parry. Just as he was in a dilemma, he heard an eager voice sound: "Bailing. Stop."

Only then did Bai Ling withdraw his hand. His eyes looked at the man. Rushed to the man's side. Called: "Brother. What are you doing when you don't rest in the house?"

Xiang Lei glanced at her. But the lark was like a wilted flower. Keep your head down. Zhang Guangsi didn't bother to say hello when he saw Xiang Lei. Said to Zhishan: "Miss Zhishan. Come back with me."

Fucha Zhishan glared at him. He didn't speak. Walked slowly to Xiang Lei. Look him up and down. Said coldly: "Who should I be? He turned out to be a traitor."

Xiang Lei couldn't help but say this. The already pale face became more and more pale. Bai Ling wanted to say something, but when he looked at Xiang Lei, he was silent again.

"Miss Fucha......" Xiang Lei arched his hand.

"Don't dare to be a ......," Fucha Zhishan said in a loud voice.

Zhang Guangsi wanted to step forward to stop her. But I know the temper of this eldest lady. Plus Xiang Lei betrayed them. He was already dissatisfied with Xiang Lei. Therefore, it was also up to Fucha Zhishan to speak.

"Hand over the antidote." Zhishan stretched out her hand to Bai Lingdao.

"How many times have I told you. There is no cure. There is no antidote to the butterfly Gu at all. Why are you still pestering me?" Bai Ling shouted.

"Lark." Xiang Lei scolded.

"There is no cure." Zhishan smiled coldly. That's fine. A life is worth a life. The general is now suffering from a poisonous attack, and his life hangs by a thread. If the general has a good deal, then the general's life will be paid by you."

"General, he ......" Xiang Lei's heart tightened. How is he?"

"Don't you know what happened to him. Do you need me to tell you what the consequences of this butterfly Gu will be?"

Xiang Lei's eyes turned slightly, and the pain implied by it flashed. After a moment, he said in a deep voice. Ms. Zhi Shan. There really is no antidote to this butterfly Gu. It all started because of the larks. But lark is my sister. We have been fatherless and motherless since we were young. The eldest brother is the father. The fault of the lark is that my brother has no way to teach him. If Miss insists on paying for her life alone, then exchange Xiang Lei's life for it."

"Brother." Bailing called.

"What you say is emotional. But you're not a good person. If it weren't for your brothers and sisters. How could General Gu have fallen to such a point. It is a debt of sincerity to him. That's how you repay him. Don't say you have a life. Even your ten lives are not as good as his." Zhishan said coldly.

The lady of the village owner, who had been watching from the side, suddenly said. Although there is no antidote to the butterfly Gu. But there is medicine that can restrain the onset of Gu poison."

"Ma'am." Bai Ling was shocked.

"You're telling the truth." Zhishan hurriedly walked up to her and asked.

"Hmm. The butterfly Gu came from the hand of Shanfeng's mother-in-law. She had said that only the enemy could use this poison. We didn't know what General Gu was like at the beginning. Counterfeit this poison. Now it's too late to remedy it. The Butterfly Gu is made from 7749 kinds of poisonous flowers and poisonous herbs. Those who are in the middle of the Gu attack have an attack every seven days. When Gu worms attack, they are like ten thousand insects and bloodthirsty. Painful. and so on until the forty-ninth day. The seventh time the Gu poison is attacked, it will exhaust from pain and die."

Zhishan's face turned pale. Forty-nine. He has only forty-nine days to live."

As soon as his body went limp, he almost collapsed. Zhang Guangsi hurriedly stepped forward to support her body. The lady of the village owner said again. Shanfeng's mother-in-law once left a recipe. Although this recipe can't solve the Gu poison. However, it can be fed to the poisoned person when he is attacked. You will be free from pain. It can also prolong life."

"How long can it be extended." Zhishan asked.

The lady of the village owner hesitated slightly. You need to know that Gu poison enters the brain. The prescription can only suppress but not eradicate. Each time a person is poisoned, one point of vitality is lost. Even for those who are physically fit, it will only be two or three years at most."

"Two or three years." Zhishan suddenly smiled sadly. muttered. He's only twenty-three years old...... Could it be that his life is really going to be ruined in Miaojiang?"

Zhang Guangsi's face was also gloomy. He couldn't have imagined such a high-spirited person. The life of a general who is as gentle as jade is so short.

Xiang Lei's face turned pale. The heart of chagrin and self-blame filled the whole chest. General Gu is so good to him. But he betrayed him. It hurts him even more...... The fist hanging on one side clenched fiercely. The back of the pale hand was bruised......

Zhishan can't remember how she got back to the barracks. All she knew was that when she arrived at the barracks, she found that it had snowed heavily in the sky.

Snowflakes float silently on the ground. And she stood outside the tent for a long time, not daring to go in. Quietly gazing at the auspicious moire pattern on the cotton curtain of the tent. There was a lot of snow falling on my shoulders. But she didn't feel the cold at all. Until the ochre curtain was lifted. A thin white figure was revealed. Her gaze was now in focus. The snowflakes fell on the man's pale face. He stared at himself silently. The corners of the lips slowly rise to create a shallow arc. Zhishan's tears suddenly fell. I couldn't hold back anymore and ran towards the man. Hugged him tightly.

Gu Yanzhao was shocked by this sudden hug. Zhishan's momentum was too great, and it only made him stumble. He took a step back to steady. Zhishan's little face was pressed tightly against his chest. The soft feminine scent of her body entered his nose. He was slightly embarrassed. His face, which was as pale as paper, slowly turned red. Coughed gently. Hold her by the shoulders and push her away." Ms. Tsz Shan ......"

"Call me Zhishan......" Zhishan's voice was muffled. The strength in his hand has increased a little.

Gu Yanzhao hung his hand helplessly. Zhishan's voice came from his chest: "You can't be fine...... Can't leave me ......."

Gu Yanzhao felt a pain in his heart. Slowly lowered his eyes and looked at her. But there were ripples in my heart. Before he came to the Southwest, he had prepared for the worst. But now I feel uncomfortable.

Is it not to worry about her? If only she knew she would die soon. Then will she cry. This life. Are they destined to end up like this. Stay together for life. Never give up, but after all, it is an empty ......
