Thinking about it carefully, Liu Rumei's words made sense. It was only two or three miles away, but he was moving step by step, so it would take a long time to cover this small distance. Besides, whether he could reach it or not was still a question.
Xiaoqing was beside him, finding a place with leeward wind, getting some hay to surround Liu Rumei, then turned around and ran towards Shuozhou.
Xiao Qing came outside Shuozhou City, kept rushing towards the guards on the city, waving her arms, "Open the city gate quickly, open the city gate quickly, I am Xiao Qing, Miss Liu Rumei's maid, I am Xiao Qing."
Soon, Zhao Guangzong, who was guarding Shuozhou City, was woken up by soldiers and said that a man named Xiaoqing was coming outside. Zhao Guangzong was so happy that he ran out without even wearing his armor.
When I came to the city wall, I looked at the woman below. She was not Liu Rumei's maid Xiaoqing.
Seeing that it was Xiao Qing, Zhao Guangzong quickly ordered, "Open the city gate quickly. It is indeed Miss Liu's maid Xiao Qing."
While talking, Zhao Guangzong couldn't wait to run down the city tower. The suspension bridge fell and the city gate opened. Xiaoqing came in in three or two steps. As soon as he saw Zhao Guangzong, he pulled him and ran out, "General Zhao, Miss Kuai, where are you?" , Miss is injured, Miss is poisoned."
Xiaoqing was out of breath, but she repeated these words over and over again, looking very impatient. Zhao Guangzong waved his hand and led the dozen or so people behind him, then rushed forward with Xiao Qing, arriving within two miles in an instant.
Xiao Qing pointed to the pile of hay next to her, "Miss, Miss, that's right here."
Zhao Guangzong came forward and pulled the hay away. When he saw it, Liu Rumei was leaning against the tree trunk, her eyes were closed tightly, her face was ashen, and she had no air left. Zhao Guangzong took off his clothes without saying a word. He stepped forward with his wolfskin cloak, wrapped it around Liu Rumei, put it on his shoulder, turned around and ran towards the city.
Zhao Guangzong rushed all the way into Shuozhou City and into his own mansion. When he came to his bed, he ordered people to throw away all his bedding and replace them with new ones, then put Liu Rumei on them, and then ordered people to burn the stove to The most prosperous.
After everything was cleared up, Zhao Guangzong had time to turn to look at Xiao Qing and ask, "Xiao Qing, what's going on?"
Xiaoqing wiped away her tears and told her story with Liu Rumei.
"It was all because Xiaoqing was careless and did not expect that the other party was not dead, so the lady was injured. It was all because of my failure to protect her."
Zhao Guangzong raised his hand and patted Xiao Qing's shoulder gently, "Okay, don't blame yourself, the lady will be fine. After saying this, Zhao Guangzong turned to the soldiers next to him and immediately passed on the order. Who in the army knows how to detoxify? , come quickly and help the lady detoxify."
After saying that, Zhao Guangzong pulled out his short sword and said to Xiao Qing, "You can help the lady treat the wound later and pull out the arrow first."
After speaking, Zhao Guangzong led everyone out and arranged for his two maids to come over to assist Xiao Qing.
After working hard for half an hour, Xiao Qing finally took care of Liu Rumei's wound.
Perhaps because of the warmth, Liu Rumei's complexion improved slightly, which made Xiaoqing's anxious mood feel a little calmer.
Soldiers soon arrived one after another and tried to detoxify Liu Rumei. However, after checking Liu Rumei's pulse and expression, they all shook their heads, saying that it was not consistent with the symptoms of the poisons they had mastered, and they did not dare to take action rashly.
Of course, Zhao Guangzong was cautious. He also knew that there were many people in the ancestral land who used poisons. There were many kinds of poisons and they were not completely sure. He did not dare to let these people detoxify Liu Rumei.
After going back and forth until dark, there was no progress. Zhao Guangzong felt a little worried.
At this moment, a guard named Wu Datian from Shuozhou arrived.
Wu Datian raised his fist towards Zhao Guangzong and said, "I have met General Zhao."
Zhao Guangzong returned the salute, "It turns out to be General Wu."
Wu Datian said to Zhao Guangzong solemnly, "General Zhao, I was very worried when I heard that Miss Liu was poisoned, and specially invited an antidote expert."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Guangzong's eyes were filled with joy, "Oh, where is this person? Bring him to see me quickly."
"Waiting outside the house." Wu Datian clasped his fists and saluted, turned around and went out. With little effort, he walked in with an old man.
This old man was wrapped in a sheepskin coat, with a gray beard and a face that looked like a knife. Looking at the traces of time, he must be seventy years old if not sixty years old.
"General Zhao, this is Uncle Laobang, an old hunter outside the city. I have known him for many years. He is good at detoxifying various poisons."
The old uncle came forward and bowed to Zhao Guangzong, "I have met the general."
Zhao Guangzong looked at this person with a look of doubt in his eyes. Although he said he was in urgent need of treatment, he had to be cautious.
"Old man, can you really detoxify me?"
Uncle Laobang raised his eyes and looked at Zhao Guangzong. Obviously he knew that Zhao Guangzong was distrustful, so he smiled slightly.
"General, I know you don't believe me, and I don't blame you. However, as long as it is the poison caused by the people of Pingzhou City, I can detoxify it. Even if it is the poison of the entire Great Earth Kingdom, there are only a handful of poisons that I don't understand."
Seeing Uncle Bang's confidence, Zhao Guangzong looked at Wu Datian again.
Wu Datian hurriedly explained, "General, what Uncle Lao Bang said is true. Uncle Lao Bang's family has been hunting for a living for generations. He can solve any headaches or fevers he has on his own. Over the past few generations, he has accumulated some experience with various poisons. Research."
"When Uncle Lao Bang was young, he served as a military doctor and accompanied us on expeditions. Later, when he got old, he retired to hunt."
After hearing Wu Datian's explanation, Zhao Guangzong nodded, now relieved.
Zhao Guangzong accompanied Lao Bangshu into the back room. Lao Bangshu came up and looked at Liu Rumei's face and checked her pulse, with a hint of relief on his face.
"Two generals, this poison is a spider poison called wolf-headed spider."
"This spider poison is not common. Its toxicity is mild and not violent, but it can cause ulcers all over the body and cause death."
After saying that, he stood up.
Walking out of the outer room, he picked up a pen and wrote a few lines, "Follow this prescription and get the medicine. It can be solved in three doses."
Zhao Guangzong was overjoyed, and while he ordered people to grab medicine quickly, he took out a banknote, which was three thousand taels, and handed it to Uncle Bang solemnly, "Old man, you are the great benefactor of our entire army. This banknote is Please accept the tickets.”
Uncle Laobang smiled and waved his hand, "I won't accept the money. I remember that when I was fighting with the army, I was lucky enough to work under Mr. Liu Hou. Mr. Liu's kindness to me is still unforgettable to this day. Rescue treatment How can I collect money from his daughter?”
It turned out that there was such a connection, Zhao Guangzong stopped being polite to Uncle Bang, and arranged for people to prepare wine and food for him, and let him eat and stay. This time Uncle Bang agreed.
After settling everything, Xiaoqing came to see Zhao Guangzong, "General Zhao, please send a message to Wannian City and tell my master that the lady is back."
