The ring connects the past and present, the exiled prince worships me as a god

"How is the general?"

The military doctor anxiously wiped the sweat from his forehead, his face looking a little grim. "The general has been poisoned."

"Nonsense. I didn't know you were poisoned from looking like that. I'm asking you what kind of poison you were in, how to cure it, and when did it happen?"

A soldier came forward and explained what had just happened in detail.

Seeing the superior strength of the West Gate, the enemy had mobilized all their forces to the North Gate, hoping to lure the enemy away from their position and seize advantage. However, they were surprised to find Duan Zhan personally stationed there. Leading the charge was a newly promoted young general from Beiling, a cunning and treacherous general who, unable to defeat the general, resorted to poisoning him.

White powder spread in the air. The general was unable to dodge and was unfortunately hit and fell down.

Apart from the more or less wounds on his body, he had been unconscious for half an incense stick of time.

"General Wu, this is Beiling's secret medicine. Only the Beiling royal family has this antidote. There is no other medicine that can cure it."

"You fart!"

Wu Yu's temper flared up, and he couldn't help but curse. "If there's poison in the world, there's an antidote. Since you know the poison, you should be able to cure it. Aren't you a military doctor? Aren't you a family of doctors? How could you not know the solution?"

Going to the Beiling Royal Family?

That is absolutely impossible.

Not to mention that the people from Dajin couldn't get in, even if they did, they would be in great danger of death. Everyone knew that the imperial city of Beiling was like a maze, with traps everywhere.

But he couldn't just watch the general fall in front of him.

The general had spent his entire life in the military, often declaring that he would dedicate his life to the army and die on the battlefield. Yet the general was so young, he still had great things to do and would surely be a pillar of the Jin Dynasty in the future.

By the way, Qi Zilin!

Wu Yu suddenly thought of Qi Yulai, but soon another idea came to his mind.

No, why did that guy just now swear that he could definitely cure the general?

How did he know that military doctors were helpless against this poison?

On the west gate wall, Qi Yu carefully analyzed the current situation and transferred several positions to places that might be breached. When he returned to the sand table to look at the layout, a cold sword fell from his neck.

"Tell me, who are you?"

As soon as the vanguard's cold voice came out, the surrounding soldiers turned around and pointed their spears at Qi Yu and Jiang Zhi who were nearby.

Wu Yu didn't say anything, and the soldiers would not easily touch Qi Yu, but Jiang Zhi had his sword confiscated and tied up.

"What does General Wu mean?"

Seeing Wu Yu suddenly take action, Qi Yu glanced at Jiang Zhi in the distance, gave him a look that showed he was ready to resist at any time, and then met Wu Yu's cold eyes.

"I'm going to ask you a question. Who are you?"

Wu Yu roared, and the sword in his hand moved a little closer.

Qi Yu only felt warm blood flowing out, and the blood had already flowed down the tip of the sword.

"Qi Zilin." Qi Yu repeated his name without being humble or arrogant.

"You've been guarding the west gate the entire time. How did you know the general was poisoned? And how did you know there was no antidote? Tell me, why were you so confident just now? Could it be that you..."

"General Wu, be careful with your words!"

Qi Yu interrupted Wu Yu and said, "I am loyal to the Great Jin Dynasty and have no second thoughts. General Wu, please don't make false assumptions."

"Then why are you?"

"Because I am familiar with Beiling's methods, and because I have a secret medicine."

“…” Wu Yu didn’t know what to say for a moment.

Seeing Qi Yu's cold and righteous expression, he was a little undecided.

What if everything Qi Yu did before was just a cover-up, and he brought Qi Yu to the general's main camp to win the general's trust? He would definitely take the opportunity to harm the general. But what if what he said was true...?

"The Beiling royal family is ruthless, and the newly promoted general Gao Si is skilled in the use of poison. When I heard he recently took over the Beiling army and challenged ours, I suspected he would most likely resort to despicable tactics. All of Beiling's poisons originate from the royal family, and only the royal family possesses the antidote. I'm sure every brave man in the Great Jin knows this secret, and I guarantee I can heal the general."

Seeing Wu Yu still thinking about it, Qi Yu couldn't help but tell him the secret of Beiling. In fact, this was not a secret known to everyone, but a secret known only to important officials of the court. He said this deliberately to stimulate Wu Yu and not waste time.

"Well, let's give it our all. If you can really save the general, you'll be the first to achieve great success. But I will be watching you at all times. If you harbor any rebellious intentions, I will be the first to kill you!"

Qi Yu did not answer him. After getting his consent, he ordered Jiang Zhi to take his place and go to the commander-in-chief's tent with Wu Yu.

The war outside has not stopped. Duan Zhan was injured, and there are other soldiers to take his place. Although the new commander of Beiling stole the poison, Duan Zhan also gave him a fatal blow before he fell. Now it depends on who wakes up first.

"Wait, give me all the weapons on you."

Before entering the tent, Wu Yu confiscated the dagger from Qi Yu. Seeing that his dagger was made of fine steel and could cut through iron like mud, Wu Yu became suspicious again. "How can a new soldier like you have such a fine weapon?"

Qi Yu was too lazy to talk nonsense with him. "My family has a lot of money. I spent a huge amount of money to buy it. Is that okay?"

Wu Yu was so angry that his mouth twitched. He waved his hand and let Qi Yu in.

He finally met Duan Zhan.

But the young man who was once as cheerful as spring breeze has turned into a dark-skinned, strong and powerful general. There is indeed a big difference.

Qi Yu approached the bed, reached out to feel his pulse, and asked the military doctor beside him, "Is it Youjiu Powder that the general was given?"

The military doctor raised his eyes and saw Qi Yu, and his expression was obviously paused. However, Qi Yu didn't look at him directly, which made him feel uneasy. He said truthfully: "Yes."

"What? You have no solution? Didn't you just swear that you could save the general?" Seeing Qi Yu's brow furrowed, Wu Yu shouted angrily, gripping the sword in his hand and exerting force on the joints, making a crisp sound.

"The antidote to this poison does come from the Beiling royal family. It can't be found outside, but I have a way."

Back then in the county, he was poisoned and nearly died. He only woke up after Nian'er gave him detoxifying pills and infusions.

The medicine in the world of gods is useful.

He needs to ask Nian'er for help.

"I have a way to save the general, but I need everyone to withdraw."

Wu Yu waved his hand and asked the irrelevant people to leave.

"General Wu also needs to withdraw."

"no!"

This is his bottom line.

He could choose not to intervene. No matter what means Qi Yu used to save people, it had to be under his nose.

"You knew the general was injured before me, and you promised to save him. Who knows if you are a spy sent by the enemy to murder the general? In short, if you want to save him, do it in front of me, otherwise..."

Wu Yu held his sword horizontally and made a "kill" gesture.

Qi Yu frowned slightly.

If he looked at it, the secret of the jade token would be revealed.

He has not yet gained Duan Zhan's trust. After so many years of no contact, he does not know Duan Zhan's character or position.

If he doesn't support his faction, leaking the information will mean his death.

And now that Duan Zhan is unconscious, how can we know what he is thinking?

"No, General Wu must withdraw."

"Then you will surely die."

Wu Yu didn't give him a chance to say anything more and stabbed Qi Yu with the sword in his hand.
