The Concubine Strikes Back: The Marquis Insists on Me to Be His Wife

Jiang Weiyang was filled with worries, fearing that this trip was a scam, but Su Qing was fearless and determined to get to the bottom of the matter.

So, at midnight three days later, when everything was quiet and the moonlight was hazy, the two of them, along with Rufeng, Xiao Bei, and Xiao Chen, walked cautiously and carefully towards the mysterious ruined temple.

When they stepped into the dilapidated temple, they saw the candlelight in the temple swaying in the night wind, with mottled light and shadow. A dark figure stood alone with his back to them, quietly standing in front of the solemn Buddha statue. The figure looked mysterious and strange under the weak candlelight. After hearing the movement, the dark figure slowly turned around, and a weathered face gradually appeared in front of them.

"It's you!" Su Qing couldn't help but exclaimed when she saw the familiar yet strange face. It turned out that this person was an old subordinate of General Su. Many years ago, he left the army due to a sudden and confusing accident and has not been heard from since.

The old subordinate looked at Su Qing with complicated eyes, with a trace of guilt and regret flashing in his eyes. He opened his lips slightly and slowly told the unknown truth of the past.

It turns out that Su Qing is a spy from the enemy country who was carefully placed in the general's mansion to disrupt his country's plan. However, as the long years passed, as they spent time together day and night and his conscience began to awaken, his conscience gradually became aware of it and he was deeply tormented. After a painful struggle, he finally decided to tell them the truth that had been hidden for a long time.

However, at this moment, without any warning, a group of people in black suddenly swarmed out from all around the ruined temple like ghosts. They all held sharp blades and had fierce eyes. They instantly surrounded Jiang Weiyang and his companions.

The air seemed to freeze in an instant, a life-and-death battle was about to break out, and the pervasive tense atmosphere made it almost impossible to breathe...

Rufeng, Xiao Bei, Xiao Chen and others instantly entered combat status. Jiang Weiyang immediately protected Su Qing behind him and started a fierce fight with the man in black.

Jiang Weiyang was agile, and the sword in his hand shuttled between the men in black like a dragon, and each sword carried a fierce killing intent. His old subordinates also joined the battle. Although he felt guilty, he also tried his best to make up for his mistakes.

Su Qing looked at the chaotic scene in front of her, feeling mixed emotions. She couldn't believe that she was actually a pawn of the enemy country, but now was not the time to think about it, so she picked up the sword on the ground and waved it around.

The black-clad men were numerous and well-trained, and it was difficult to tell who would win. Suddenly, Jiang Weiyang discovered that the black-clad men seemed to be deliberately consuming their physical strength, preparing to annihilate them in one fell swoop.

"Everyone be careful, they are delaying time!" Jiang Weiyang warned loudly.

At this moment, a hidden arrow shot towards Su Qing, and Jiang Weiyang flew over without hesitation and blocked Su Qing. The arrow pierced deeply into Jiang Weiyang's shoulder, and blood stained his clothes red.

"Jiang Weiyang!" Su Qing exclaimed, her eyes full of worry.

Jiang Weiyang endured the severe pain and continued to swing his sword to kill the enemy: "I'm fine, be careful!"

Inspired by Jiang Weiyang, the crowd became more courageous. After a bloody battle, the men in black gradually lost the upper hand. Finally, under their tenacious resistance, the men in black began to retreat.

Seeing the figure of the man in black going away, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Jiang Weiyang fell to the ground due to his serious injuries. Su Qing ran over and supported him: "Jiang Weiyang, you must hold on."

The old subordinate looked at them with a guilty look on his face and deep self-blame in his eyes. He said in a trembling voice: "It's all my fault. If I hadn't concealed it back then and appeared now, you wouldn't be in such a dangerous situation. I harmed you, and I really deserve to die."

Su Qing bit her lips tightly, and her lips lost their color due to the force. Her eyes revealed determination and calmness. She said, "Now is not the time to talk about this. Let's find a place to treat him first."

With everyone's help and support, the group left the ruined temple full of danger with difficulty, like travelers groping in the dark.

They watched their surroundings cautiously all the way and finally found a relatively safe place not far away. It was surrounded by trees, forming a natural barrier that could temporarily isolate the danger.

Su Qing quickly arranged everyone and said in a calm tone: "Everyone look around, don't let the enemy take advantage." Everyone nodded in response and dispersed to defend vigilantly.

Seeing that everyone had left as arranged and were guarding the surroundings, Su Qing did not dare to delay for a moment and quickly helped Jiang Weiyang into the mysterious space, preparing to do a detailed examination for him. The space was filled with a tense atmosphere, and Su Qing's forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat because of anxiety.

After a careful examination, Su Qing's face turned pale instantly. What she didn't expect was that the arrow that shot Jiang Weiyang was actually poisonous. The poison had begun to spread in Jiang Weiyang's body, and the area around his wound was a terrifying purple color. The situation was very critical.

A trace of sadness and self-mockery flashed in Su Qing's eyes, and she felt mixed emotions in her heart: "So I am so worthless? Just because my identity was exposed, I was treated as an abandoned pawn and became a victim of this conspiracy. All those arrangements and plans in the past now seem to be nothing but a deception."

She clenched her teeth and tried to calm herself down, because now was not the time to feel sorry for herself. Jiang Weiyang's life was still hanging by a thread, and she had to concentrate on finding a way to detoxify and save him.

Su Qing took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down, her eyes glowing with determination. She knew she couldn't panic at this moment, because Jiang Weiyang's life was in her hands.

She first quickly took out an antidote pill from the medicine box beside her and carefully put it into Jiang Weiyang's mouth. After watching him swallow it, Su Qing picked up a sharp knife, disinfected it with strong liquor, and carefully cut along the edge of his wound little by little.

Her hands were shaking slightly, but she still tried to stay steady. Beads of sweat kept rolling down her forehead, but she didn't bother to wipe them off.

However, when the wound was cut open, Su Qing was horrified to find that the poison began to spread at a speed visible to the naked eye. The purple color around the wound quickly spread to other parts of Jiang Weiyang's body. In an instant, Su Qing panicked, as if her heart was hit by a heavy hammer.

"What kind of poison is this? How could it be so powerful?" Su Qing murmured to herself, her voice full of fear and disbelief. She had never seen a poison that spread so quickly and was so toxic, and her mind went blank for a moment.

But soon, Su Qing forced herself to calm down and began to quickly search her mind for the knowledge she had learned about poisons and antidotes in the past, trying to find a solution.

Her eyes were panicked and anxious, and her hands tightly grasped Jiang Weiyang's arms, as if this could contain the raging poison.

Su Qing tried to calm herself down and began to look through the ancient medical books in the space, trying to find records about the poison and the antidote.

Time passed minute by minute, Su Qing's eyes were bloodshot, and finally, she found a clue in a yellowed medical book.

According to the book, the poison is called "Soul-Eating Powder" and the antidote is extremely complex, requiring the collection of many rare herbs.

Su Qing did not dare to delay and immediately searched for the herbs she needed in the space. Fortunately, the space was well stocked and she successfully found most of the herbs, but she was still missing the key herb "Linglong Grass".
