The besties traveled through the book together, and the prince and general became abandoned husbands
Chapter 149 Huo Zhengfeng and his wife's life hangs on a thread
Huo Qiming's duty was to guard Liangzhou.
As soon as Huo Zhengfeng and Su Yun got into trouble, he handed over the affairs of Liangzhou to Deputy General Zhao and planned to go to Qingzhou immediately to check the situation.
He originally had no intention of taking Madam Huo to Qingzhou.
First, the commander's life or death is unknown, the Hun army is approaching, and Qingzhou is in danger of being lost.
Secondly, Mrs. Huo was in poor health and could not withstand the long journey, so Huo Qiming was worried that something might happen to her on the way.
But Madam Huo insisted again and again, and when Huo Qiming was in a dilemma, Xu Junjun stepped forward and said that she could go to Qingzhou with them.
With her around, Huo Qiming doesn't have to worry about Madam Huo's health.
The situation in Qingzhou was grim. Once they entered the city, if the Huns broke through, they would be in danger of losing their lives at any time.
Seeing that Xu Junjun came forward instead of leaving at this time, Huo Qiming looked at him with admiration.
The three generations of grandparents and grandchildren set out from Liangzhou with a team of elite soldiers. After four days of sleepless journey, they finally arrived in Qingzhou.
As the three had expected, the entire city of Qingzhou was under martial law, the city gates were closed, and the people were not allowed to enter or leave.
Huo Qiming's arrival injected a breath of life into the lifeless Qingzhou. The panic-stricken people rekindled their hope when they heard that the young general of the Huo family had arrived.
The Huo family has protected Qingzhou for more than ten years, and the names of Huo Zhengfeng and Su Yun are deeply engraved in the hearts of every citizen of Qingzhou.
In the hearts of the people, as long as the Huo family is there, Qingzhou will never be destroyed!
The Xiongnu cavalry will never be able to set foot on the Great Saint's territory!
As soon as they entered Qingzhou, Huo Qiming, Old Madam Huo and Xu Junjun immediately went to see Huo Zhengfeng and Su Yun.
The room was filled with a strong smell of medicine, mixed with a faint smell of blood, which made Xu Junjun frown as he just stepped into the room.
Huo Zhengfeng and Su Yun's rooms were adjacent to each other. With the support of Xu Junjun, Mrs. Huo visited Huo Zhengfeng, who was pale and unconscious, and then went to see Su Yun, who was also unconscious.
The last time I saw them, they looked heroic, confident and reliable. Now, they were lying on the bed dying, their breathing so weak that their pulses were almost undetectable. Xu Junjun's brows were so tightly knitted that they could pinch a mosquito to death.
Huo Zhengfeng was in the worst condition. He was shot in the chest with the poisonous arrowhead very close to his heart. If the arrow had been a little off, he would have been a corpse by now.
Su Yun's condition was slightly less severe, but only slightly better than Huo Zhengfeng's. If no antidote could be found within seven days, the poison would invade her heart, and neither she nor Huo Zhengfeng would survive.
The most urgent task is to develop an antidote.
Before Mrs. Huo and Huo Qiming arrived in Qingzhou, all the doctors with outstanding medical skills in Qingzhou had been gathered together by officials. They treated Huo Zhengfeng and his wife one after another and discussed the antidote prescription.
However, the poison of the Xiongnu was extremely difficult to cure. The doctors discussed it for two nights but none of them dared to write a prescription. They could only use ordinary antidotes to temporarily suppress the drug's properties.
Xu Junjun accompanied Mrs. Huo for a walk, checked the wounds one by one, and took the pulse, and then she knew the condition of Huo Zhengfeng and his wife.
Old Madam Huo and Huo Qiming stood on one side. After Xu Junjun stood up, they followed her with anxious eyes.
"How is it? Can Feng'er and Yun'er be saved?"
Xu Junjun's face looked unhappy, and Huo Qiming stared at her nervously.
Originally, Huo Qiming had planned to bring the court physician with him when he came to Qingzhou this time.
But the court physician repeatedly assured him that with this person in front of him, it would be useless for him to come to Qingzhou, so Huo Qiming gave up the idea of bringing the court physician with him.
None of the doctors in Qingzhou had a good prescription, so Huo Qiming could only place his hope on the person in front of him, hoping that he really had some real talent and could save his parents' lives.
Facing Madam Huo's question, Xu Junjun pondered for a moment and said:
“General Huo and General Su have been poisoned to the lungs, and their situation is extremely critical.
If an antidote isn't found within seven days, the situation will be disastrous."
Mrs. Huo's voice trembled:
"Then, do you have a way to detoxify?"
As soon as these words came out, Mrs. Huo lowered her eyes in disappointment:
"I'm sorry, we were abrupt."
So many doctors in Qingzhou have not been able to come up with an antidote. The man in front of him looks to be in his twenties at most, so why should he make things difficult for him?
Old Madam Huo's face looked increasingly aged. She walked to Huo Zhengfeng's bedside and looked carefully at her son, who was over forty years old.
Huo Zhengfeng's face is very rough, caused by the long-term wind and sand in the frontier, but his face is square, giving people a sense of calmness and reliability.
Even though his eyes were closed at this moment, lying on the bed, deeply poisoned, he was still the mainstay of Qingzhou.
As long as he is alive, his reputation is enough to intimidate the Huns and prevent them from invading.
Over the years, Mrs. Huo woke up from nightmares and imagined countless times the scene of Huo Zhengfeng sacrificing his life for the country, but when this day finally came, Mrs. Huo still couldn't accept it.
Hot tears rolled down Mrs. Huo's face. Her voice was like weeping blood, and every word was sonorous:
"Feng'er came to the frontier with his father when he was twelve years old. He has been fighting for thirty-four years and has fought thousands of battles for the Great Sage.
Even if he doesn't make it this time, he died fighting for the Great Sage. He has no regrets in this life and is the pride of our Huo family!
I just feel sorry for Yun'er. In order to save him, she was surrounded by the enemy and was poisoned. If something happens to her this time, how will I, an old man, explain to the Su family? "
Old Madam Huo sat down beside Huo Zhengfeng's bed, holding Huo Zhengfeng's hand which had turned black due to poisoning, her face full of sorrow.
Huo Qiming stood to one side, his fists clenched, his face full of murderous intent towards the Huns.
Xu Junjun's eyes were dry. Thinking of Li Dazhu's family who died in the massacre by the Xiongnu, she gritted her teeth, took two steps forward, squatted in front of Mrs. Huo, and spoke to comfort her:
"Old Madam, don't be sad. I have a way to save General Huo and General Su."
Facing Mrs. Huo's excited gaze, Xu Junjun looked back at Huo Qiming, then looked at Mrs. Huo again and said:
"However, there is a poison in General Huo's body that I am unsure of, and I cannot make the correct antidote. I need General Huo to accompany me to the Xiongnu territory to find this poison.
This trip is very dangerous. Madam Huo, are you sure you can let Major General Huo go with me?"
Xu Junjun's eyes were as clear as snow. Old Madam Huo's heart moved and she looked at Huo Qiming who was wearing light armor.
Huo Zhengfeng and Su Yun were lying on the bed, narrowly escaping death. Huo Qiming was the last bloodline of the Huo family.
If he went to the Xiongnu territory alone and something happened, the Huo family would no longer have a direct bloodline!
This decision was too difficult for Mrs. Huo.
Huo Qiming cannot die, but she cannot bear to see Huo Zhengfeng and his wife get into trouble. She is in a dilemma as they are both her flesh and blood.
"ginger……"
"Grandma, let's go!"
Old Madam Huo looked at Xu Junjun and was about to speak when Huo Qiming's firm voice echoed in the room from the side.
Xu Junjun and Old Madam Huo turned around at the same time and met Huo Qiming's eagle-like sharp eyes. He stared at Xu Junjun and spoke firmly:
"I'll have someone prepare two sets of Xiongnu clothing. You and I will put them on and set off immediately!"
"Tomorrow."
Madam Huo called him with a trembling voice. Huo Qiming walked in front of Madam Huo, half-knelt down, lowered his head slightly, looked at Madam Huo, and assured her in a deep voice:
"Don't worry, Grandma. I will help Jiang Xu develop an antidote and return within seven days."
Mrs. Huo's eyes were filled with tears. She looked at Huo Qiming, then at Xu Junjun. Thousands of words piled up on her lips, and finally turned into one sentence:
"You must take care of yourselves and go and come back early!"
An hour later, Xu Junjun, along with Chen Liu and Huo Qiming, rode three light horses and left Qingzhou, heading straight for the Xiongnu border.
At night, Xu Junjun and Huo Qiming approached the Hun army camp. The three of them found a secret cave in the mountains opposite the army's camp to rest for a while.
In the cave, a fire was burning fiercely. Three people sat around the fire, eating the dry food they brought with them.
After Xu Junjun finished chewing half of the dry sac, she almost choked to death. She quickly drank two mouthfuls of water. When she turned around to put the water sac down, she suddenly met Huo Qiming's inquiring eyes.
