Chapter 369 Water Poison
Chu Zixi walked quickly to a soldier without any hesitation and squatted down.
She stretched out her slender fingers and placed them on the soldier's wrist. Then, she slowly closed her eyes and concentrated on feeling the soldier's pulse.
Time seemed to stand still, and everything around became extremely quiet. Only Chu Zixi's breathing and heartbeat were clearly audible. Finally, her brows slightly frowned, and a trace of doubt appeared on her face. This pulse and symptoms made her feel very familiar, but also a little unusual.
Suddenly, a silver needle shining with silver light appeared in Chu Zixi's hand.
Her movements were quick and accurate, like lightning, and she lightly pricked the soldier's finger.
A drop of bright red blood suddenly gushed out, like a dazzling ruby.
Chu Zixi was already prepared. She quickly took out an exquisite empty bottle from her sleeve.
The bottle was small and exquisite, crystal clear, and the body of the bottle emitted a faint luster. She carefully put the drop of blood into the bottle.
Hua Qianyi had been watching all this nervously from the side, his eyes full of surprise and anticipation.
Seeing Chu Zixi's actions, he couldn't wait to ask: "Princess, you are finally here! Have you figured out what kind of poison this is?"
Chu Zixi stood up, nodded solemnly, and said firmly: "I roughly know what kind of poison this is, but it needs further verification. However, what is certain is that this poison is very tricky. If it is not treated in time, the consequences will be disastrous."
Jun Feimo frowned tightly, his heart full of worry. They knew that the situation was urgent, and if they could not find a way to detoxify quickly, these poisoned soldiers would face a life-and-death crisis.
Jun Feimo stared at Chu Zixi, his eyes revealing deep trust and expectation. He turned to Tianyi and ordered: "Tianyi, escort the princess to my tent."
Tian Yi nodded in understanding, then quickly stepped forward and said to Chu Zixi respectfully, "Princess, please follow me."
Chu Zixi nodded, indicating that at the moment, she needed a quiet place to carefully test her blood.
After Chu Zixi left, Jun Feimo's expression became more solemn and gloomy as ink.
He said to An Yi in a cold tone: "An Yi, investigate this matter immediately. I must know why these soldiers were poisoned."
Upon hearing this, An Yi clasped his fists, accepted the order, and then turned and left.
Inside the tent, Chu Zixi sat in front of the desk, concentrating on examining the blood sample.
Time passed quietly, and before we knew it, night fell and the sky was pitch black.
However, Chu Zixi, who was immersed in her research, didn't notice it at all and continued to concentrate on it.
At this time, Jun Feimo stepped into the tent with slow footsteps, but Chu Zixi didn't notice anything.
Chu Zixi's eyes lit up, and she slowly put down the silver needle in her hand. The drop of blood mixed with the powder she prepared fell on the table, and a sizzling sound instantly came out of the table. "It's really the water poison..." She murmured softly. These three words pierced into the heart like ice, making people tremble.
Water poison is an extremely rare poison in the world. Its characteristics are that it is colorless, odorless and difficult to detect.
Once someone is poisoned, the initial symptoms are foaming at the mouth and unbearable stomach pain.
However, on the next day, the body of the poisoned person will gradually begin to rot until the whole person turns into bones.
Chu Zixi didn't think of the water poison at first, because this poison was too overbearing, and the conditions for poisoning were also very restricted. The poison had to be put in the water and then the poisoned person had to take it.
At this time, Jun Feimo frowned slightly and asked: "Xi'er, what is the water poison?"
Chu Zixi then came to her senses and realized that Jun Feimo had already entered the tent.
It turned out that she was so absorbed in thinking about the problem that she didn't notice when Jun Feimo came in.
Chu Zixi's face became very solemn, and she said, "Mo, the water poison has limited conditions for poisoning, and can only be spread through water sources. If the poisoned person cannot receive timely treatment, he will start to rot from the inside the next day, and only a pile of bones will be left. Preparing an antidote requires a lot of time and energy. Mo, I must enter the space immediately to prepare the antidote."
After hearing this, Jun Feimo narrowed his eyes slightly and said in a serious tone: "Xier, thank you for your hard work."
Chu Zixi shook her head slowly, and then her figure suddenly flashed, and then she quickly disappeared into the tent, as if she had merged into the air.
Then, she entered her own space and prepared to start making the antidote.
Jun Feimo stood quietly there, his eyes deep, looking thoughtfully in the direction where Chu Zixi disappeared.
After a moment, he turned and walked out of the tent with steady and powerful steps. When he stepped out of the tent, his eyes were as sharp as a burning torch, and he glanced fiercely at Yu Da and others beside him.
His tone was steady and serious, with unquestionable majesty: "Yu Da and others, listen up. From now on, you must defend this tent and not be negligent. Unless summoned by the princess, no one is allowed to step into the tent."
Yuda and the others responded in unison: "Yes, sir!"
The night is deep, as thick as ink and pitch black.
Jun Feimo and Hua Qianyi hid quietly in the shadows of a corner of the military camp. Their eyes were as sharp as swords, fixed tightly on the brightly lit military kitchen not far away.
The surroundings were extremely quiet, with only the occasional footsteps of patrolling soldiers in the distance being particularly clear.
Hua Qianyi lowered his voice and asked: "Senior Brother, do you think someone poisoned the military kitchen?" Although he usually looked playful and angry, he could sense the seriousness of the matter at this moment.
Jun Feimo narrowed his eyes slightly, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he replied in a low voice: "Xier told me that the conditions for poisoning Shuiyoudu are very limited, and it can only be administered in water." His voice was low and cold.
"Water Poison?" Hua Qianyi couldn't help but feel doubtful when he heard this word. He frowned, scratched his head, and tried to recall the information about this poison.
Suddenly, as if he suddenly realized something, he slapped his forehead hard and said, "Oh my god, I remember it!" His voice was full of surprise and excitement.
"I remember seeing related records in my master's half of the ancient book, but because the second half was torn off, I don't know the specific solution. Senior brother, your princess is getting more and more powerful. She even knows about the water poison!" After saying that, Hua Qianyi couldn't help but sigh.
At this moment, a hint of imperceptible pride flashed across Jun Feimo's face. He raised the corners of his mouth slightly and said with a slightly proud tone: "Xier is indeed very unusual." Then, he turned his head to look at Hua Qianyi, with a hint of curiosity in his eyes, and asked softly: "Have you seen it from Master?"
