On the twenty-second day of the first month of the seventy-first year of the Great Qiankang Dynasty, the reign of the King of Wei.

At this time, Li Jin, the king of Wei, was guarding an east wing in the backyard of his palace, walking around constantly, and his heart was anxious......

There was a young man lying on the bed, at this time, his eyes were closed, a face as handsome as a knife carving, but there was no blood at all, and the center of his eyebrows was already faintly black, obviously he was highly poisonous, and his life was in danger......

The young man lying on the bed was none other than Xu Ke, a hundred households in Tsing Yi. If it weren't for Xu Ke's desperate fighting, not only Li Jin, the king of Wei, but even the life of Xue Tao, the general of the right feather Lin Wei, I am afraid that he would have reported to Yan Luo underground at this time. At that time, Xu Ke rushed to the scene without hesitation, wielding his sword and fighting with the man in black.

However, at this time, he and Xue Tao had returned to the capital safely, although Xue Tao was injured internally, as long as he recuperated for about a month, he would be safe and sound. It's just that he Xu Ke, his back and chest, were hit by the domineering two palms of the leader of the man in black, and the most fatal thing was the two poisonous thistles in the middle of his chest and the two major points of qi and sea.

On the way back to Beijing, Cheng Wanli had already told Li Zhen about Xu Ke's injury in detail:

"Your Highness, the poison among the disease-free brothers is extraordinary!"

Li Zhen asked, "What kind of poison did he get?"

Cheng Wanli replied: "According to the last general, from the two iron thistles to check, this poison is called 'Seven Days Soul Devouring Scatter', which is a secret poison in the Kangmen of Shuzhong...... When the last general was young, he also traveled in Shu, and learned him the power of the poison and hidden weapon in Shuzhongkangmen, it is said that the "Seven Days Soul Devouring Scatter" is to extract seven kinds of poison in the world, mixed with human blood, tiger blood, snake blood, leopard blood, lion blood, elephant blood, corpse blood, after 7749 days of secret refining, this poisonous smell is strong and unique, and there is a hint of sweetness in the fishy smell, it is to after more than 20 years, the end will still remember ......"

Li Zhen hurriedly asked, "General Cheng, how to detoxify?"

Cheng Wanli shook his head and sighed: "Your Highness, the last general has heard that the person who is poisoned by this poison will not be able to save him unless he has the antidote to the Kangmen in Shu! Moreover, the poisoned person will have to go through seven consecutive days of pain like devouring the soul before dying, and these seven days are tantamount to life and death for the poisoned person......

Li Zhen changed color and said: "General Cheng, is this poison so vicious? Is it possible that no one in the world can save him except for the people of Kangmen in Shu? There are many famous imperial doctors in my Daqian Palace, and there are also many folk 'divine doctors' in my Chang'an capital.

Cheng Wanli still shook his head and sighed: "Ahem, Your Highness, Shuzhong Kangmen is one of the four gates in the world, and the secret weapon and poison are the best in his sect, and this 'Seven Days Soul Devouring Scatter' is the first poison in other sects...... If it weren't for the special antidote in Kangmen, or the birth of Da Luo Jinxian to save him, even if His Royal Highness summoned all the famous doctors from all over the world, I am afraid that no one would be able to save the disease-free brother. ”

......

This time, the convoy of Li Jin, the king of Wei, was assassinated by a team of black-clothed people in the valley at the mouth of the West Gorge, and Cheng Wanli, the chief manager of the forbidden army, came to rescue him in time at the critical moment, and Li Zhen was fortunate to be spared.

The Xuanjia Light Cavalry quickly counted the casualties on both sides. The assassin sent a total of twenty-nine men in black. Except for the big leader in black who was wounded and fled, sixteen crossbowmen and seven black-clothed men all died under Xu Ke's sword. The four black-clothed men who were arrested committed suicide by biting through the poison on the spot. The only one who did not die and was captured alive on the spot by the Xuanjia Light Cavalry was the black-clothed man with a ghost head knife who had his arm cut off by Xu Ke. Because he had lost so much blood that he was unconscious, he didn't have time to bite through the poison. Cheng Wanli saw that the big man with the broken arm was still breathing, so he ordered his subordinates to bandage his right arm to stop the bleeding, and pulled out all the poison from his mouth, so that he could no longer kill himself.

On the side of the Qincha Guards, the situation was even more tragic, as all 40 of his own soldiers were killed, and none of them were spared! On Li Jin's side, only four people survived, and Li Jin, who was sent by the Qincha, was unharmed. Zhao Yu, the folk girl, was uninjured (but she was already scared half to death in her heart). Xue Tao, the general of the right feather Lin Wei, has internal injuries to be recuperated. Xu Ke, a hundred households in Tsing Yi, was seriously injured and poisoned, and his life was in danger......

Under the personal escort of Cheng Wanli, the chief of the forbidden army, and two hundred Xuanjia light horsemen, Qin Cha and his entourage finally returned to Chang'an safely at noon on the 22nd of January.

Li Zhi, the king of Chu, led all the princes and hundreds of civil and military officials to personally greet the Qincha honor guard outside the Mingde Gate in the south of Chang'an City. Seeing that the eldest brother and all the brothers were there, Li Zhen hurriedly got off the carriage from afar, led Cheng Wanli, Xue Tao and others to approach slowly, saluted his eldest brother with a smile, and greeted the brothers such as King Han and King Jin, and accepted the bow of the hundred officials, and only then did he exchange greetings with the King of Chu, the King of Jin and others, and entered the capital at the same time......

Along the way, led by Li Zhi, the king of Chu, the rest of the princes and the ministers of the central government, they inevitably praised him for the errand of Li Zhen, the king of Wei, who was ordered to go south to raise grain. Everyone said that they were able to raise nearly two million taels of grain and silver for disaster relief, which solved the disaster situation in Shannan, Shandong and Lianghuai, four provinces and sixteen prefectures, and saved the lives of countless victims......

After Li Zhen returned to the palace, he first settled Xu Ke and Xue Tao in the backyard wing of his palace, and then ordered the chief manager Ma Huacheng to prepare a car and hurriedly enter the palace to meet his father, Emperor Li Chongsheng.

Outside the Daming Palace, Gao Liangshi, the chief administrator of the inner court, still blocked Li Zhen from the palace gate. Gao Liangshi just said that during the period of Long Live Lord's recuperation, none of the princes were seen, and even Li Jin, the king of Qincha Wei, who had been away from Beijing for a month and was attacked by assassins on the way back to Beijing, was still ...... Missing!

Li Jin had no choice but to turn back, and when he left, he pulled Gao Liangshi to repeatedly inquire about his father's condition, Gao Liangshi was helpless, so he had to nod and smile: "Your Highness, rest assured, Long Live Lord's body and bones are good! After His Highness returns home, he only cares about his life and recuperates, and when the time comes, Long Live Lord will summon His Royal Highness......

Li Zhen returned to the palace, and at Xu Ke's bedside, he saw Qiu Mingli, the head of the household who came to visit. After Mr. Qiu asked about Xu Ke's injury and poisoning, he immediately thought of Hu Yiyi, the miracle doctor in Xu's mansion.

"Your Highness! Now in this Chang'an City, if there is anyone who can be saved from illness and out of danger, this person is the only one! I'm going to find her......" Qiu Mingli replied to Li Jin. At that moment, Mr. Qiu didn't say much, he was busy on crutches, limping and running towards Xu's mansion.

It didn't take long for Qiu Mingli to return to the Wei Palace, his face full of disappointment, and he brought back a bad news:

The only miracle doctor who could save Xu Ke from danger, the Bibo fairy Hu Yiyi, was not in the Xu Mansion at this time, and Qiu Mingli asked almost everyone in the Xu Mansion, not only Hu Yiyi, but also the white-bearded old man Shu Hatian, all disappeared together......

According to the reply of the people of the Xu Mansion, the fairy went out of the house alone as early as the day of the Shangyuan Festival, and he was still carrying an iron cage in his hand, and a big mouse with white hair was locked in the cage. No one knew where the fairy was going, why he was carrying a mouse cage, and no one dared to ask him. And now, the fairy and the book fairy have not returned to the house for seven or eight days.

During this time, the six famous doctors in Chang'an City invited by Ma Huacheng have also come over to treat Xu Ke and Xue Tao, and the famous doctors have prescribed some precious medicinal materials for Xue Tao to replenish vitality, and instructed the right Yu Lin Wei general to live and recuperate, and not to suffer from the wind and cold. However, after seeing Xu Ke, most of these famous doctors shook their heads and said that they couldn't do anything, and a famous doctor repeatedly diagnosed Xu Ke's pulse, but he already shook his head and sighed, and simply let him prepare for the future......

Li Jin, Qiu Mingli, and even Xue Tao, who was recuperating in bed, were all anxious after hearing the news, but they were helpless......

Such an outstanding young man from Hangzhou, a twenty-one-year-old Tsing Yi Wei Baihu, a five-grade courtier appointed by the emperor, and Xu Ke, who saved Li Jin's life twice, is now lying on the couch, his face is as white as paper, he is in a coma, the black gas between his eyebrows is faint, and there are two wounds in the chest and the sea of qi......

The person who "devoured the soul in seven days" in his body only lived for seven days, and now, counting from the day Xu Ke was poisoned, it was already the third day......

At this moment, Hu Yiyi, the only one who can save Xu Ke's life, doesn't know where he is?
