After I died, the scumbag prince cried down the city wall
Chapter 46 The Source of Poisoning
Her tone was full of trust and determination, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."
This sentence seemed to give Zhang Wen a reassurance. He remembered that Lin Yuanming had assured him that Cui Rong was someone he could trust, so he chose to entrust his reputation and safety to her.
Upon hearing this, General Bai frowned and asked, "Miss, are you trying to protect an outsider?"
Cui Rong replied coldly: "Defend him? There is no need for that. Because the facts are innocent. If he was really related to the poisoning, how could he be so stupid as not to take the opportunity to escape, but to fight with us until now?"
"No one is allowed to touch him until the truth is revealed."
Cui Min's voice was firm and unquestionable, and the determination revealed in his words seemed to make the air around them freeze.
Lieutenant General Bai turned his head, his eyes swept through the crowd, and finally locked onto Cui Rong, who was beside Cui Min. With an imperceptible sneer on his lips, he whispered, "General, although the young lady enjoys a high prestige in the army, her actions today, against all odds for a man of unknown origin and ulterior motives, may chill the hearts of the generals and affect the morale of the army. In my humble opinion..."
Before Lieutenant General Bai could finish his words, Cui Min interrupted him in a tone that did not allow for discussion: "I know Rong'er better than you do. Let's go check on the poisoned soldiers first, and the truth will naturally come to light."
Then, he turned to Cui Rongrong, and said in a gentle tone with strength: "Rong'er, take Master Zhang to the well to have a look, maybe there will be something to be discovered."
Cui Rongrong nodded slightly, with a hint of determination in her eyes. She understood that any hesitation at this moment might cause unnecessary misunderstanding.
The group walked away slowly, and the soldier who reported the situation quietly approached Lieutenant General Bai and lowered his voice, "Lieutenant General Bai, this is strange, it must be God helping you, you must not miss this opportunity!"
"If you don't seize the opportunity, young lady, and pay too much attention to that outsider, the position you have won by following the general in battles all these years will probably fall into the hands of others sooner or later!"
There was a hint of jealousy and incitement in the soldier's tone.
Hearing this, General Bai's face turned pale, anger flashed in his eyes, and he scolded in a low voice: "Stop talking! It's not your turn to point fingers at my affairs!"
After he finished speaking, he suddenly quickened his pace and followed Cui Min and Cui Rongrong with big strides, completely ignoring the sinister look that flashed across the face of the soldier behind him.
Cui Rong moved quickly, almost jogging to the well. The scene before her terrified her - several soldiers were lying in a mess beside the well, their faces pale and they were dying.
She quickly squatted down and took their pulses one by one, with a heavy worry gradually gathering between her brows.
This pulse condition is clearly a sign of silver silkworm Gu!
How could this poison, which is only found in the frontier areas, appear here?
She glanced around calmly, trying to find the answer from clues in the crowd, but everyone had different expressions and no one showed anything unusual. The person who poisoned her had obviously left.
Cui Rong secretly clenched her fists. The barbarians on the border were able to infiltrate the military camp, and the time was unknown. This meant that many secrets in the army might have been leaked long ago.
She forced herself to suppress these thoughts for the time being. The most urgent thing at the moment was to rescue the poisoned soldiers.
The White Lieutenant General came leisurely, and when he saw this scene, he immediately roared: "What are you all standing there for? Go get the military doctor!"
Cui Rong said calmly and firmly at this time: "I am the only one who can cure this poison."
The warrior who was about to run to ask for the military doctor was startled and stopped abruptly when he heard this. A complex emotion flashed in General Bai's eyes, and he thought to himself: Although I have heard that Cui Rongrong knows a little about medicine, when she was at the border in the past, she only assisted the military doctor in dealing with ordinary injuries and minor illnesses. I have never heard that she is good at detoxification?
His mind turned, and every word was as sharp as a needle. He said: "The young lady's medical skills are indeed well-known in the army, but the situation is urgent now. The poisoned soldier's life is hanging by a thread. We must not let any accident happen because of a momentary delay!"
"My comrades-in-arms have entrusted their lives to each other. If something is lost, would you be willing to compensate with your own life?"
These soldiers, who were already in panic due to the poisoning incident, looked at Cui Rong with a bit more doubt and dissatisfaction in their eyes.
Some people even questioned, "Could it be that the young lady is planning to stand aside and show some favoritism to the drug offender who broke into the military camp without permission?"
Discussions arose everywhere, the crowd was outraged, and the accusations against Cui Rong became increasingly intense.
When General Bai saw this, he remained expressionless on the surface, but was secretly delighted in his heart.
Prestige in the army is of vital importance. The dissatisfaction of the soldiers at this moment can be used to eliminate the hidden dangers in his heart and ensure the stability of his position. It is really a godsend opportunity.
Just when the atmosphere was extremely tense, a steady and powerful voice instantly calmed all the noise: "Silence!"
It was Cui Min. His majestic face made everyone quiet down involuntarily.
He spoke slowly, his voice steady and persuasive: "Any judgment should be based on facts. Rong'er did not stand idly by. Her medical skills are far better than those of military doctors. It's just that Lieutenant General Bai has never seen it with his own eyes."
Lieutenant General Bai was criticized in public, his face turned blue and red, he was embarrassed and angry, but he couldn't refute it due to face, so he could only force a smile and said insincerely: "I am also worried about the safety of the soldiers, so I may have been a little impatient in my words."
"But the poisoned person is in critical condition. I..."
The words stopped abruptly here, and General Bai's gaze involuntarily drifted to the figure in the crowd - Cui Rongrong.
She was concentrating her mind and gathering her energy, the silver needle in her hand flashing with cold light, and every light prick seemed to carry the rhythm of life.
The poisoned soldier gradually came back to life under her skillful manipulation, and color began to appear on his pale face. Although his body was still weak, he was able to slowly open his heavy eyelids.
Soon, all the poisoned soldiers regained consciousness. Although they were not yet completely free of their weak state, they had at least been pulled back from the brink of death.
Upon seeing this, Cui Min hurried forward to confirm their conditions one by one. After asking a few brief questions, he gently told them to return to the tent to rest and replenish their energy.
As he turned around, his eyes were drawn to one place - Cui Rong was standing quietly beside the well in the camp, holding an exquisite medicine bottle in her hand. The medicine powder in the bottle gently fell into the well water, causing ripples.
"After half an hour, the well water will be safe to drink."
Her voice was soft but firm, reassuring.
"Rong'er, you've worked so hard."
Cui Min nodded approvingly, then his expression froze, "Do you know where the poison in this well came from?"
"Silver silkworm Gu."
Cui Rongrong's words were concise and affirmative, making Cui Min's face instantly become extremely serious.
