Su Yi and the Mu siblings walked to the wounded barracks. When they were near the entrance, Mu Jin suddenly stopped them.

"You guys wait outside the tent, I'll go in and take a look at the situation," she said, then she took out a handkerchief from her body, tied it around her mouth and nose, and was about to go in. However, Su Yi and Mu Yan both blocked her way.

At first, Mu Yanshang felt that Su Yi and Mu Jin were too cautious, but now, the soldiers who had collected the bodies of the Dongyue soldiers all had high fever and fainted after returning to the camp, which was unusual.

After all, on the battlefield, collecting corpses is a common task for these soldiers, and there has never been a situation where all the soldiers had a high fever and fainted after collecting the corpses.

Mu Yan's face was solemn, and he said, "Ajin, let me go in. It would be inconvenient for a woman like you to enter this barracks full of dirty and smelly men."

Mu Jin frowned, "Brother, it's already this time, why do you still care about the difference between men and women? You don't know any medical skills, so it's useless for you to go in. Besides, last year I took care of the people infected with the plague outside the capital, and the environment there was more than ten times worse and dirtier than this. This is nothing."

Su Yi frowned: "Ajin suspects they have the plague?"

Mu Jin shook his head. "If it's a plague, it's easy to deal with. After all, we have experience in treating plagues in the capital before, and plagues won't show symptoms so quickly. I'm just afraid it's an unknown virus."

"Then you can't go in." Su Yi stopped him and said, "Let's wait for the military doctor inside to come back and make plans."

Mu Jin and Su Yi looked at each other. After a moment, Mu Jin compromised and said, "Okay!"

Several military doctors rushed out of the wounded soldiers' tent like frightened birds. When they saw Su Yi, they didn't even bother to salute and ran to the side to vomit continuously.

Su Yi and Mu Jin looked at each other, both frowning. After the military doctors finished vomiting, they hurriedly ran to Su Yi and knelt down to apologize, saying, "Your Majesty, please forgive us. We couldn't control ourselves just now."

"Forget it, stand up and answer." After thanking Su Yi, several military doctors stood up.

The leading military doctor said in fear and trepidation, "Your Majesty, a few of us just went in to check on the soldiers who collected the bodies from the valley last night and brought them back to the camp. They were all in the same condition, with no trace of blood on their faces and a foul smell from their breath."

"That smell is like, like the smell of a rotting corpse."

Hearing what the military doctor said, Mu Yan wondered, "Could it be that when they were carrying the bodies of the East Vietnamese soldiers who were shot dead last night, they accidentally got infected with corpse gas?"

The military doctor shook his head and said, "The weather has been cool lately. Even if someone has been dead for a day or two, there won't be a strong odor. Moreover, he just died last night, so there won't be a corpse odor."

"Then where does the stench of corpses on them come from?"

The leading military doctor said, "We don't know. Maybe after they finished dealing with those East Vietnamese soldiers, something else happened on their way back. We don't know."

Mu Jin asked the military doctor: "Are those soldiers awake at this moment? Can they respond to questions?"

"They are all unconscious and breathing very weakly." The military doctor replied with some guilt: "I have been practicing medicine for thirty or forty years and have never encountered such a disease. Now I really don't know how to prescribe medicine."

Mu Jin said: "I'll go in and take a look, and then make plans when I come back."

Su Yi pulled Mu Jin and said with some concern: "I will go in with you too."

Mu Jin frowned and said in a somewhat reprimanding tone, "As the ruler of a country, you should stay here and don't go in and cause trouble. Don't let the people inside not be cured and you get sick too."

Several imperial doctors looked at each other in bewilderment as they saw a deputy general scolding their king, who showed no sign of displeasure.

Mu Jin gave Su Yi a blank look, turned around and borrowed a pack of silver needles for acupuncture from the military doctor, then opened the door to the wounded soldiers' camp and walked into the camp.

Although her mouth and nose were tightly bound with a handkerchief, the entire camp for wounded soldiers was still filled with a strong, disgusting stench of corpses. The smell was even pungent and stung her eyes so much that it hurt.

If he could not see the faint rise and fall of the wounded soldiers' abdomens from afar, Mu Jin would really have thought he had entered the morgue.

She walked to the nearest bed and saw that the lips of a wounded soldier had turned a strange dark green, and his entire pale face was slowly turning green at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Mu Jin could not help but be shocked. He spread out the acupuncture bag he had just borrowed from the military doctor. It was filled with densely packed silver needles of all sizes and thicknesses.

She pulled out a sword and stabbed it into the wounded soldier's exposed chest with skill and precision.

But what surprised Mu Jin was that when the silver needle pierced the wounded soldier's skin, no bright red blood flowed out. After the entire silver needle was pulled out, it turned black in color.

Mu Jin walked further in and examined several wounded soldiers. Their conditions were exactly the same. She thought something was wrong and hurriedly left the wounded camp.

As soon as Mu Jin left the wounded camp, Su Yi was about to approach, but she shouted, "Don't come over!" Then she shouted loudly, "Quick! Send someone to seal off the wounded camp! Isolate all the others who have had contact with those who came back last night."

"Also, have everyone in the camp cover their mouths and noses with cloth and take anti-plague medicine! If there are any abnormalities, isolate them all."

Mu Yan said in panic, "Ajin, why do you want to seal these wounded soldiers? If they are sealed, how can the military doctors get in to treat the wounded?"

Mu Jin frowned and said, "Their condition is progressing very rapidly. When I went in just now, their faces were still pale, but in a blink of an eye, their lips and skin turned dark green."

Mu Jin didn't know how to explain to the people in front of her. Their expressions were just like the zombies in those horror zombie movies she saw in the real world.

"I used silver needles to prick their skin, but there was no trace of red blood. Now, they are like the living dead, and the military doctors and I don't know how to treat them. In case the situation changes, we can only seal this camp for wounded soldiers and make plans later."

When the people at the scene heard Mu Jin say this, they knew that things had turned out beyond their expectations, and all of this must have been caused by Su Yuntian.

Mu Jin walked to the bonfire nearby, took off the handkerchief tied around his mouth and nose and threw it into the fire until it burned completely. He then went back to his room to change his clothes and burned them, then tied his mouth and nose and returned to the meeting room.

In the meeting room, Su Yi and a group of generals were already in place. Due to the urgency of the situation, everyone looked worried. It was no wonder that they were so worried, as this matter was caused by the Dongyue soldiers.

If you encounter East Vietnamese soldiers, you will die. Then who would dare to charge forward? This is undoubtedly tantamount to committing suicide.

Seeing Mu Jin, who knew medicine, walk into the tent, several generals stood up. "Deputy General Mu, you know medicine, do you have any way to deal with this disease?"

Mu Jin shook his head: "This matter is closely related to Dongyue." Mu Jin looked at Su Yi: "Does the Dongyue court have any kind of poison that can easily poison the enemy in battle without any warning?"

Su Yi shook his head: "This situation is unheard of. In the past, even if someone was poisoned, it would be some kind of muscle softening powder that would make the person weak and unable to resist, or they would directly poison the person and kill him instantly."

"But those East Vietnamese soldiers were all shot dead by us last night, so they had no chance to poison our soldiers."

"Unless! The poison was put on the clothes of the Dongyue soldiers!" Mu Jin muttered to himself. "But what kind of poison is this? In just three or four hours, the poisoned person is completely unrecognizable. But who made this poison?"

"Nangong Ce!" Su Yi's face was calm, but his tone was affirmative.
