Quick Transmigration: The Villain Always Ends Up with the Male Lead

Hearing his terrified cry, Shi Qi instinctively turned to look at him. Instantly, a sharp pain shot through his left shoulder... he had been shot with an arrow.

Ignoring the pain, Shi Qi gritted his teeth, broke the arrow from his shoulder, and turned to look in the direction it had come from. There stood Kolancha, perched in the branches, bow and arrow still raised: "Oh dear, what a pity..."

These words reached Shi Qi's ears clearly. He knew that if Huo Da hadn't called out to him, the arrow would probably have pierced his heart from behind.

He stared intently at Kolancha in the tree, but Kolancha merely gave him a defiant smile before turning to his soldiers and saying, "Objective accomplished, let's go."

Upon hearing their commander's order, the remaining Confederate soldiers did not linger and turned to retreat with Collancha.

Only after they left did Shi Qi dare to put down his spear, using it to support his body. Then, regardless of whether it was effective or not, he swallowed a few antidote pills he had brought.

"General! How are you?" Hoda's voice was filled with self-reproach: "If it were me..."

Shi Qi raised his hand to stop him from speaking. He could sense that the antidote wasn't working well for the poison in him: "The Southern Army's weapons are all poisoned. Whether they're dead or alive, take all the soldiers back..."

Seeing that Shi Qi's condition was getting worse, 007 frantically searched through the system shop: "...How is this possible? The universal antidote pill is locked..."

Shi Qi knew 007's worries, but he only used his last strength to instruct Huo Da: "Also, Kolancha's men have withdrawn. Send people to search for... supplies in this area. If... there are none, then... send a message back to the capital..." After saying this, Shi Qi could no longer hold on and collapsed.

"General!"

Generals Zhao Zhonglie and others waited anxiously at the gate of the military camp, hoping that the supplies and the general would return together, but they waited for a long time without seeing anyone return.

In the distance, Zhao Zhonglie spotted a figure galloping towards him on horseback—it was Huo Da! But...where was the general? A bad premonition gripped Zhao Zhonglie's heart. As Huo Da's troops drew closer, Zhao Zhonglie realized that although they had brought back provisions, many soldiers, including Huo Da, were carrying people on their horses...

It's unclear whether Shi Qi will still be aware of anything, but 007 has been calling out to him the whole way: "Host, you absolutely can't be hurt... Waaah..."

Huo Da rode his horse very fast, and as the column approached, Zhao Zhonglie heard him shout: "Call the army doctor—"

Three days later in the capital...

"Urgent report from the army!" The messenger burst into the imperial study and knelt before Yixuan.

This was the first urgent report since the start of the troop deployment. For some reason, he had felt uneasy for the two days leading up to this report: "Speak quickly."

"Three days ago, General Shi was ambushed by enemy troops and struck by a poisoned arrow while searching for lost supplies. His life is now in grave danger..."

The messenger didn't look up. After speaking, he waited a long time for Yi Xuan, who was seated, to speak. After a while, he heard what sounded like a pen falling onto the table. But since Yi Xuan didn't speak, he didn't dare to leave first.

Upon hearing the urgent report, Yixuan felt his mind suddenly go blank, as if he could no longer perceive anything around him. The brush fell from his hand, splattering thick ink stains on the memorials on the table.

"You...can go down now..."

How could Shi Qi be in trouble? That's Shi Qi, the one who has never lost a battle... Didn't Zheng Yuhe say her medical skills were superior to most imperial physicians? Why couldn't she cure Shi Qi?!

At this moment, Yi Xuan realized that he cared so much about Shi Qi that even the barriers between them didn't matter anymore. He had only one thought in his mind: he had to see Shi Qi.

"Yi Xuan's favorability +10, Destiny Value -10"

"Is the general still not feeling well?" Huo Da walked into the main tent with a slightly hunched back.

Zhao Zhonglie shook his head: "Several days have passed, and he hasn't opened his eyes even once." "You should move around less. This isn't your fault; you even voluntarily went to accept your punishment..."

Huo Da refused Zhao Zhonglie's offer to let him rest: "How can you say the fault is not mine? If I had arrived earlier, the general wouldn't be like this..." He had been trapped in deep self-blame for the past few days.

"I never expected this Kolancha to be so vicious! No one in our army could cure the general." Zhao Zhonglie slammed his fist against the wall.

Hoda: "I estimate... the poison in the general's body was developed by Collancha himself, which just confirms why he is called 'the most venomous snake'... Perhaps, Collancha is a genius at making poisons."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Zhonglie cursed fiercely, "To hell with that 'most venomous snake'! How dare he harm our general! I'll beat him to a pulp sooner or later!"

At that moment, a soldier strode in, his voice brimming with barely concealed joy: "Deputy General Zhao, His Majesty has arrived with a group of folk doctors skilled in detoxification!"

"Really?!" Zhao Zhonglie and Huo Da exclaimed in unison. It wasn't that they didn't believe Yi Xuan had sent a doctor, but they hadn't expected Yi Xuan to come in person.

The two hurried to the tent to greet him, but before they could even speak, they heard their emperor say, "Where is the main tent? Lead the way." A group of doctors followed behind him.

Upon entering the main tent, Yi Xuan saw Shi Qi lying on the couch. His face was pale, devoid of any color, and his lips were an unnatural purple.

Yi Xuan sat by the bed and said to the doctors, "Come forward and see who can cure this poison..." His eyes were fixed on Shi Qi's pale face.

One after another, the folk doctors stepped forward to examine the condition, but without exception, they all shook their heads...

007 hovered above Shi Qi, constantly lamenting, "Waaah...they're all quacks, why can't they save him...?"

Although Yixuan was unaware of 007's existence, his inner thoughts were largely the same as his. He also wanted to berate the quack doctors, but they were all doctors from the common people, and as the emperor, he couldn't utter those words...

Then, a doctor who had been observing for a long time before stepping forward to feel the pulse spoke up: "I have traveled in the Southern Kingdom before, and the general's symptoms and pulse are somewhat similar to the symptoms of a poison I saw there."

"If Your Majesty is willing to believe, this humble subject may give it a try."

Yi Xuan couldn't say whether he was willing or not now; this was the only way to save Shi Qi. So, he nodded, stood up, and stepped aside, saying, "Please, sir." He then turned to the others in the tent and said, "Anyone who is not involved, please leave."

Now, only Yi Xuan and the doctor remain in this tent... as well as 007, the commander.
