Chapter 35: It's Not Human
In the dimly lit room, two figures sat opposite each other.
The ghost horse shook the tea in his hand with a comfortable face and looked at Xiahou Mo.
Xiahou Mo's expression was indifferent, and there was a cold air around his body that was not close to anyone.
"Haqiu!" The ghost horse rubbed his nose, he used too much pancreas just now, and the smell was really pungent.
"What did the prince bring me for?"
"This king is poisoned."
"What?" The ghost horse, who looked lazy one second, immediately stood up and walked behind Xiahou Mo to hold his pulse the next moment.
But when he turned around, the face of the ghost horse became extremely ugly.
"You've actually hit the red fire!"
Xiahou Mo withdrew his hand, and his face did not change much.
"Hmm."
"When?"
"More than half a month ago."
When the ghost horse heard this, his brows furrowed, and he didn't know if it was a coincidence, the woman who ran away was almost the same as Xiahou Mo's poisoning.
This red fire is an extremely rare poison, that is to say, this poison is not something you can get into if you want to!
"Who poisoned you?"
"The Southern Barbarians."
When the ghost horse heard this, he had a really like this expression. "I'll just say that the blind introduction needed for this kind of poison is not available in Chu State, and it is only available in the miasma land of Nanban."
"You can't solve this poison?"
The ghost horse was stunned, and his neck was stalked. "Who said I can't solve it, I'm just missing a few medicinal herbs!"
Hearing this, Xiahou Mo frowned slightly with a pair of sword eyebrows.
"Make it clear."
The ghost horse glanced at him. "I haven't come up with the antidote for the time being, otherwise there is a drug to inhibit toxicity, you take one every month, at least within half a year, you won't have to worry about your life."
Onima took out a porcelain vase from his body and handed it to him.
Xiahou Mo stretched out his hand to take the porcelain vase, and raised his eyes to see that the ghost horse's gaze still fell on his face.
"The poison on your body, has it been attacked?"
"Hmm." Xiahou Mo responded casually.
Suck!
Onima gasped.
"Survived?"
Xiahou Mo didn't answer again, only closed his black eyes that sank into the sea.
The ghost horse looked at him and trembled inexplicably.
This man is terrible! Although he hadn't experienced how painful it was when the red fire attacked, it was definitely worse than cramping and peeling people's skins, and this person actually survived it so hard!
As he spoke, Donglin walked outside the door.
"Lord Wang, Nanban has done it."
Xiahou Mo's black eyes suddenly opened, and his killing intent overflowed.
"Yanxia Pass, I haven't smelled blood for a long time, prepare your horse and return to Yanxia Pass immediately."
"Yes."
The ghost horse glanced at Xiahou Mo who stood up. "You want to go to the battlefield yourself this time?"
"It's time for them to be honest!"
……
"Old lady, what's wrong with old lady!" Mama An's red eyes glared at Su Muge angrily.
Su Muge wanted to step forward to probe Mrs. Meng's pulse, but was stopped by Mama An.
"What else does Miss Su want to do!"
Su Muge was suddenly a little irritable, she never felt that she was a patient person when facing the patient's relatives.
"You are delaying Mrs. Meng's treatment, if something happens to her, can you afford it?" The cold voice revealed a chill.
Mama An trembled, looked at Mrs. Meng, who had fainted to death, and reluctantly moved away, but her eyes still fell on Su Muge vigilantly.
Su Muge stepped forward to probe the old lady's pulse, and then pulled out the silver needle on her body.
"What happened to the old lady?"
"It's just that I'm too nervous, I'm in a momentary coma, and I'll wake up soon."
Mama An's lips buzzed, and she looked at Rumei in the room, Rumei was also frightened by Mrs. Meng's situation just now, and when she saw Mama An's eyes, she didn't understand it for a while.
Before Rumei could read Mama An's eyes, Su Muge had already removed the fire pot from Mrs. Meng's feet.
"Don't touch the water until tomorrow morning, and don't eat anything cold."
After Su Muge finished explaining, she began to pack the medicine box, and until she left Shou'an Hospital, Mrs. Meng did not wake up.
"Quick, go and invite Imperial Doctor Hu!"
As soon as Su Muge left with his front foot, Mama An commanded with his back foot.
Ru Mei was stunned, these days, Su Muge was treating Mrs. Meng, and he didn't call Doctor Hu over.
"But Mama Ann ......"
"But what, don't go yet! Didn't you see that the old lady hadn't woken up until now! ”
Rumei glanced at the old lady, and finally went.
……
As soon as Su Muge returned to Su Mansion, he felt that the atmosphere in the mansion was not quite right.
As soon as she returned to the Peach Blossom Courtyard, Yueru looked nervous and greeted her.
"Miss, you're back."
Su Muge frowned slightly and walked into the house. "What's going on in the house?"
Yueru glanced at Xinche, who was waiting outside the door, and said, "Xinche, go and give the eldest lady a bowl of ginger tea." ”
The heart bowed down and retreated.
Yueru cautiously closed the door and returned to Su Muge's side.
"Miss, there are rumors in the house today that a county under the master's head has been flooded! Even the county magistrate was washed away by the water and disappeared! ”
Yueru's words made Su Muge's brows tremble. "A county under charge?"
"Yes, the eldest lady doesn't know that there are a total of ten counties under the Shunyang Mansion, all of which are under the jurisdiction of the lord, and the Zhou County that broke the embankment is also one of them, and now the mansion is rumored to be flooded, and the lord also has the responsibility that he can't get rid of, if the emperor learns that the blame comes down, it is likely to be beheaded!"
After listening to this, Su Muge's whole face sank.
Although Yueru's statement is a bit alarmist, the possibility is not impossible.
The embankment should be very strong, where it is said that it will collapse, she dare not say that the embankment is 100% problematic, but it is also seven or eight times out of ten, if that is the case, Su Lun, as the highest official in the prefecture, will definitely not be able to get out of it.
When the time comes, let alone a promotion, it will be good if you don't lose your head and affect the entire Su Mansion!
If there really is a day, she, her brother and her mother will not be able to escape, she doesn't think that she has the ability to confront the king of this country.
"Don't panic just yet, don't let the imaginary things bring too much fear to yourself."
"Yes, slave understands."
After Yueru told Su Muge about the situation in the house again, she withdrew.
Su Muge took out all the things that were researching the antidote.
The top priority is to detoxify her body, no matter what happens afterward, this cannot be her shackles.
Although the equipment is limited, Su Muge still has some clues.
She remembered that day on the street, the man and the shopkeeper of the pharmacy bought more than 500-year-old ginseng and 1000-year-old fire reishi, and these days she found that the toxin-inhibiting pills he made did not contain these two herbs.
Then these two medicinal materials are likely to be what he needed when developing the red fire antidote.
With this direction of thinking, when Su Muge was researching the antidote, she looked for it in this direction, and sure enough, she found the clue.
I believe that it won't be long before she can develop the antidote!
……
Inside the yamen.
Su Lun was so anxious that he was sweating profusely and paced back and forth in the study.
When such a thing happened in Zhou County, the subordinates of Su Mansion could think of the terrible consequences, how could Su Lun, who had been in the officialdom for many years, not understand!
A servant hurried in from outside.
"My lord, no, it's not good!"
Su Lun shuddered when he heard this.
"Again, what's wrong?!"
"Yanxia Pass is fighting, it's fighting!"
When Su Lun heard that it was not the county under his jurisdiction that there was an accident, he was about to exhale a breath, but he remembered something again, grabbed the clothes of the officer, gritted his teeth with red eyes and said, "Where did you say, where did the fight start?" ”
The servants were almost frightened and cried by Su Lun's appearance.
"Yes, it's Yanxia Pass, Nanban suddenly sent troops to Yanxia Pass, and His Royal Highness the King of Jin has personally led troops to fight."
There is only one state capital around Yanxia Pass, Shunyang Mansion, if Yanxia Pass is lost, the first unlucky one is Shunyang Mansion, no wonder Su Lun will go crazy.
"You said that His Royal Highness the King of Jin personally led the troops to the battle?"
"Yes, yes."
After receiving this affirmative reply, Su Lun's face looked slightly better.
No one in the entire Chu State knows that the King of Jin is the natural barrier of the Chu State, and since the King of Jin led the troops, he has really not suffered defeat, and now that he is guarding the Yanxia Pass, Su Lun is not worried that those barbarians can break into the gate of the Chu State.
After learning that the Zhouxian Dam had burst, the entire Surun fell into an unspeakable fear.
To Su Muge's surprise, the Meng Mansion actually sent someone to say that the old lady Meng's body had improved a lot, and there was no need for Su Muge to go to the house every day to treat the old lady for the time being.
Su Muge sneered after receiving the news and didn't say anything.
No matter what the purpose of the Meng Mansion is, she, Su Muge, will never heal Old Madam Meng again!
However, Meng Fu owes her a big favor, and this favor is still good to get back.
"Miss is leaving the house?"
Yueru saw that Su Muge had changed into a dress to go out, and asked curiously.
Su Muge nodded. "Hmm."
Now An's must be worried about the affairs of Zhou County all day long, so he doesn't have the heart to calculate them again, so Su Muge, the pair of cards out of the house, is still in his hand.
These days, the rain has not stopped, Su Muge got out of the house, got into the carriage, and went directly to a teahouse on the street.
She walked into the wing of the teahouse, and vaguely saw a slender figure sitting inside.
She pushed the door open, and the people in the room looked up at her.
Su Muge stepped forward and sat down in front of the other party.
"It's been a long time for Master Meng."
Meng Xiuwen wore a bamboo-blue tunic robe today, lining him to be long and jade, and his demeanor was graceful.
Su Muge wore a gauze hat, and Meng Xiuwen couldn't see her current look clearly.
"I've just arrived."
Su Muge poured herself a cup of tea, and Meng Xiuwen looked at her round fingers and coughed lightly and took out a small box from behind her.
"Miss Su asked for something to send a message to Miss Su below, and she has already brought it down to Miss Su."
Su Muge's gaze fell on the box through the spun yarn, reached out to take it, opened it and looked at the contents and nodded.
"Thank you, Master Meng." With that, he stood up.
Seeing this, Meng Xiuwen also stood up and stopped her. "Miss Su, slow down."
