Chapter 12: Gu Poison (1)

Due to special circumstances, Xiang Bei knew Gu poison very well. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info he carefully examined Nineteen's illness and thought about it repeatedly. Nineteen drank water just now, could it be that he was hit by the water Gu? No! First, everyone drank the water, why was the nineteenth Gu alone? Second, the attack of the water Gu generally has a gradual process, and it is rare to have a sudden attack. The third is that he was hit by Shui Gu, and his symptoms were weakness all over his body, and his limbs were sore and weak, while the symptoms of Nineteen were numbness and itching all over his body, with severe pain, and he was in a coma in an instant, which was completely inconsistent with the symptoms of Shui Gu.

Is it a worm Gu? What kind of insect Gu is it? Is it a butterfly Gu, an ant Gu, a snake Gu, or a golden silkworm Gu? Xiang Bei couldn't tell what kind of Gu was in the nineteenth for a while, but Xiang Bei concluded that the Gu poison in the nineteenth was very domineering and very rare.

Ziyan asked anxiously:

"Xiang Gongzi, what kind of poison did the nineteenth prince get into?"

Xiang Bei groaned: "The one in the Nineteen Princes is a Gu poison, and it is a Gu poison that even I don't know."

Ziyan said: "Then send Nineteen back to the palace quickly, and let the medical officer in the palace come to the rescue." ”

Xiang Bei shook his head and said: "No, this kind of Gu poison, the medical officer in the palace doesn't understand it at all, and if you send it back to the palace, you can't do anything, but it will delay time." ”

Ziyan hurriedly said: "How can that be good? Since Xiang Gongzi knows about Gu poison, let's think of a way." ”

Xiang Bei hesitated, although he had a way in his heart, he was not very sure. And there is obviously no one to talk to, let alone someone to ask for. This matter is related to the life of the nineteenth prince, and the stakes are very high. He was a decisive man, but at this time, he was not immune to the decision.

After pondering for a long time, seeing that everyone was looking at him with expectant eyes, Xiang Bei finally sighed and said:

"Knowing one person below can solve the nineteen Gu poisons, but it is far away in Yuncheng. Yuncheng is five hundred miles away from Yingdu, and it takes six or seven days to invite this person to go back and forth. And as far as I know, people who have been poisoned by Gu will have a hard time surviving three days once they have an attack. Therefore, the only way now is for me to escort the Nineteenth Prince to Yuncheng day and night immediately. If that person is willing to help, the nineteenth prince will be considered to have picked up this life, and if that person is unwilling to rescue, the nineteenth prince will be more than lucky."

A third-class guard asked, "Xiang Gongzi, is that person not sure if that person can be rescued?"

Xiang Beidao: "No." ”

Everyone was silent, neither daring to echo nor oppose it, for it was a matter of life and death for the prince, and no one dared to take responsibility.

Xiang Bei didn't care too much about everyone's attitude, he was not a hesitant person, once he made a decision, he no longer thought about the consequences. So immediately he commanded the people:

"Miss Ziyan took everyone back to the palace immediately, told Concubine Xi, and asked Niangniang to tell the king. Leaving five third-class guards and a few good drivers, he and I immediately rushed to Yuncheng. After speaking, no matter how everyone reacted, they had already carried Nineteen into the car, and then pointed to a few guards and said:

"A few of you come with me, and the rest will go back to Yingdu. We are here to save people, but it is inconvenient when there are too many people, and it is a waste of time. Okay, now everyone is going their separate ways. ”

Seeing that Xiang Bei had left with a few guards and Nineteen in the blink of an eye, he had no choice but to hurry back to Yingdu with a heavy heart.

Let's say that Yuncheng, where Xiang Bei is going, is located in the northwest of Yingdu, and is one of the important cities of Chu State, only 200 miles away from Suicheng, a border city of Qin and Chu, and has always been stationed with heavy troops. And Cheng Yin was naturally held by the generals of the Chu army, shouldering the heavy responsibility of resisting the Qin State. Three hundred years ago, Yuncheng was still known as Yunguo, a princely state under the jurisdiction of Zhou Tianzi, and was later destroyed by the Dou clan of Chu State, and Yuncheng became the food of the Dou clan. Until more than ten years ago, the Dou clan offended the Chu Wang Shang, and the pillar of the Dou clan, Dou Bo, was killed by the Chu Wang Shang in court, the Dou clan declined, and Yuncheng also fell into the hands of the Xiang clan, who had always been brave and good at fighting, and became the Xiang clan's food and garrison land.

Seriously, the ancestors of this clan are not Chu people. It is the monarch of Xiang State on the border of Qilu, one of the princes of Zhou Tianzi, surnamed Ji, Marquis. But the fate of Xiang and Yun was the same, and it was destroyed by Qi as early as three hundred years ago. His descendants took the country as their surname and went to the state of Chu. Because of the courage of the Xiang family, he has been a Chu general for generations, and gradually became stronger, becoming one of the six major princes of the Chu State. Especially with the decline of the Dou clan, the Xiang clan replaced the Dou clan and became the border guard general against the Qin state. Several important cities in the northwest of the Chu State, such as Yuncheng, Xiangcheng, and Suicheng, became Xiang's food and fiefdoms.

The current Yuncheng City Yin is Xiang Bei's uncle Xiang Tian. Therefore, Xiang Bei is very familiar with the road from Yingdu to Yuncheng, and the group travels day and night, eating and sleeping in the open air, and the journey is also very smooth, without twists and turns. Nineteen lay in the car, sometimes awake, sometimes unconscious, his whole body was paralyzed and uncomfortable, and he was very painful. Xiang Bei had no way to reduce pain except to speed up his travel. By the afternoon of the third day, a group of more than a dozen people had traveled 500 miles in less than three days and arrived at Yuncheng.

Xiang Bei ignored hunger, thirst and fatigue, and after settling down the soldiers, he went straight to Chengyin's Mansion with Nineteen. Cheng Yin Xiangtian had something to do and went out of the city, and he was not in the house. However, the gatekeeper of the Chengyin Mansion and the housekeeper of the Mansion all knew Xiang Bei. Therefore, Xiang Bei was not hindered in any way and came to Cheng Yin's backyard. After letting the maidservant help Nineteen to lie down on the soft collapse of a side room, he hurriedly asked Liu Peng, the head of the house:

"Mr. Miao can be in the house?"

Liu Peng replied: "I am meditating and practicing qi, if the son has something to find Mr. Miao, he still needs to wait patiently for a while." ”

Xiang Bei knew that Mr. Miao had an arrogant personality and didn't like others to disturb him the most when he practiced qi, so although he was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, he didn't dare to rashly ask for a meeting. I had to wander around the cloister restlessly.

At this moment, a young girl came around the corner at the end of the corridor. The girl is twenty-eight years old, dressed in Miao costumes, without a crown, her black hair is coiled up layer by layer, her skin is like coagulation, her cheeks are like pink, her eyebrows are flying willow leaves, her eyes are full of autumn water, she is colorful, and the country is fragrant. What a gorgeous peerless, stunning girl!

When the girl suddenly saw Xiang Bei, her face was surprised, her cheeks flew red, and she said prettyly:

"Xiang Gongzi, why did you come here?"

Xiang Beizheng was pacing with a sad face, and suddenly heard the girl's voice, looked up, couldn't help but feel ecstatic in his heart, and said excitedly:

"Miss Miao Miao, I haven't seen you for a long time, and I ...... in the next Tai" Xiang Bei period Ai Aidi, but he didn't continue.

The girl called Miao Miao smiled and groaned, "What's too busy? Or is it too forgetful?"

Xiang Bei wanted to say that he missed you too much, but he felt that it was inappropriate, so he couldn't say it, but now in the face of the girl's mocking questioning, he was speechless for a while, unable to answer.

The girl laughed and said:

"Judging by your anxious appearance, there must be something urgent. ”

Xiang Beidao: "Exactly, there is a good friend in the next place, who has been poisoned by a strange Gu poison, and is trying to ask Mr. Miao to come to his rescue." ”

The girl said, "Then what are you waiting for?

Xiang Beidao: "Mr. Miao is meditating and practicing qi, how dare you easily disturb him?"

The girl chuckled and said, "You are half a disciple of my father, why don't you dare?" ”

Xiang Bei and this girl were originally very familiar, but they hadn't seen each other for several years, and they took this girl very seriously psychologically. Seeing that the girl spoke very kindly, and did not regard him as an outsider, she couldn't help but feel warm in her heart, and her courage increased, so she said:

"Okay Miao Miao, just when you came, you went to ask Mr. Miao for me. ”

Miao Miao put her pretty face on her face and said:

"You are an untrustworthy person, you promised me to come to Yuncheng to see me twice a year, but for two years, you didn't come once, and now you dare to come to beg me, you are so thick-skinned!"

Xiang Bei smiled awkwardly and explained:

"I have been serving in the army for the past two years, and I went to Chu Palace to study in the palace, so I really didn't have the opportunity to come to Yuncheng. ”

Miao Miao sneered: "Then how did you have the opportunity to come to Yuncheng today? Where is there no chance? It's just whether the matter matters or not." It's just a trivial matter to come and see me, where is it worth worrying about Xiang Gongzi!"

Xiang Bei's face was flushed when he was talked, he wanted to explain but didn't know how to explain, he wanted to continue to plead, but he couldn't speak, he was so anxious that he scratched his ears and cheeks, embarrassed and embarrassed.

Miao Miao pursed her lips and smiled, and asked:

"I don't know what kind of friend you are, what kind of poison did you fall into, and how long has it been?"

Xiang Beidao: "I don't know what the poison is, it's been almost three days since the poison was poisoned." ”

When Miao Miao heard this, she was taken aback, and said angrily: "It's been almost three days?
