Chapter 194 Detoxification
"Paying respects to the Great General in charge of the country." Qin Wencai and the other military doctors bowed to him together.
"No need for formalities."
Qin Mian took out the document for appointment as the "Special Supervisor" that Emperor Xiao Hui had given him and handed it over to Lei Tia.
Lei Tia looked at the official documents and nodded slightly, he then stood in front of him and spoke with a businesslike tone: "Master Qin, how is the situation with the soldiers?"
Qin Mian explained his and Qin Wencai's judgement.
Doctor Yu said: "Great General, the problem now is that Sir Qin and Imperial Physician Qin do not have the same opinion. "What do you think?"
Lei Tia said: "In a few more days, General Japan will launch a general attack on the Turow Country. If more than ten thousand soldiers could recover, it would be the best way to boost their morale. Therefore, this general can only give you two days. "
Qin Mian and Qin Wencai looked at each other.
After thinking for a while, he came up with a method and said to Qin Mian: "Sir Qin, what do you think about this? This old man was able to concoct this kind of poison. After the poison is concocted, it is to be fed to animals. Then, I will use my prescription to try to detoxify the poison and see if it is effective. "This way, we won't have to risk the lives of our soldiers."
Qin Mian nodded his head, "Imperial Physician Qin is right, we will do as you say."
None of the military doctors had any objections. Currently, there was no one else capable of curing him of this poison. This was the only solution.
Lei Tia said to the six military doctors: "All of you will have to work hard for a few more days. Once this matter is concluded, this general will naturally report to the emperor and reward everyone for their services. "
The few doctors were overjoyed, and said together: "Yes, thank you Great General!"
Lei Tia assigned a few soldiers to do some errand work, then he gave Qin Mian a look and the two of them left the tent together.
The leader of the guards who was waiting outside saw that Lei Tia had completed his task, so he went forward to greet him and report back.
"Everyone, you've all worked hard. Come here, lead the guards and our colleagues to rest and have a meal. "
"Yes." Lei Qinzhong stepped forward quickly.
Qin Mian called out to Lei Qinzhong, "There are some specialties in the carriage, you can split some of it with the guards and take good care of them."
"Yes sir!"
The leader of the guards cupped his hands towards Qin Mian and Lei Tia in apology before following Lei Qinzhong and leaving.
Lei Tia dragged Qin Mian to another small tent.
Before Qin Mian could even stand firm, his mouth was sealed with scorching hot lips. He lifted his arms and wrapped them around the man's neck, unwilling to show any weakness as he retaliated.
After a long time, the two of them parted, panting lightly. A strand of silver silk reluctantly co
ected their lips. Qin Mianxin's jump became even more intense, he quickly reached out his hand to wipe it away, and his ears started to burn like fire.
Lei Tia held him tightly, his two fingers caressing his earlobes, "Wifey, is the journey going smoothly?"
"It went well. What about you? You're not hurt, right? " Qin Mian's gaze swept over him.
Lei Tia shook his head, "Did the Emperor say how long you would stay here?"
"I didn't say. It should be that I can stay for as long as I want, right? If you can settle the issue of Turow Country before the new year, we can go back together. " Qin Mian said in anticipation.
Lei Tia nodded without hesitation, "En."
"Do you have a verdict on the First Prince's matter?" Qin Mian asked.
Lei Tia said, "I just received the emperor's secret order a day ago. In order to guard against any disturbances in the morale of the troops, the First Prince is temporarily under house arrest."
Thinking of the First Prince, Qin Mian curled his lips in disdain, "You must have his being closely watched. Don't let something happen at this juncture again, it will delay our return home."
"Don't worry." Lei Tia rubbed his stomach, "You haven't eaten?"
"As soon as I entered the city, I went straight to the barracks." Qin Mian leaned against his chest, "You still don't know? Imperial Physician Qin and I have been travelling together, it would not be convenient for us to eat anything. "
Lei Tia chuckled, "Thank you for your hard work. I've already sent someone to prepare a meal for you to eat in a while. "
"You're not in a hurry to leave the city?" Qin Mian asked happily.
Lei Tia caressed his face, "I still have time to eat with you."
The husband and husband ate a simple hot pot inside the tent, Lei Tia hurriedly left the city and returned to the Turow Country realm's camp.
Qin Mian also got busy, and got his people to quickly prepare the medicinal ingredients on the prescription, then he went to help Doctor Yu and the others take care of the patient.
Adding Qin Mian and Qin Wencai into the mix, there were only eight doctors left in the camp, which was not even enough to cure the poison of ten thousand people later. Qin Mian decided to first pay a sum of silver and as early as possible, hire twenty doctors and a hundred medicine boys from the medicine stores in Su Cheng'an.
Qin Wencai told the others to prepare all the medicinal ingredients he needed, and took the time to eat a hot rice and sleep well for two hours. After recovering his spirit, he stayed in a small tent to concoct the "half-life" poison, and did not allow anyone to disturb him.
Only after two hours had passed did he come out of the tent and get someone to call Qin Mian over.
The six military doctors and the captain of the barracks heard the news and went with them.
Qin Wencai pointed to the red-brown soup in a white porcelain bowl and said, "This is half-life." The final half of my life is in the form of powder. Because I have to feed it to the animals later on, I left out the last step and it will not affect the poison. "
"Then let's quickly try it out." Doctor Yu had a soldier bring a live rabbit from the kitchen.
Qin Wencai also brought over the antidote he prepared, it was also in the shape of a soup.
Everyone in the tent couldn't help but hold their breath in nervousness.
Qin Wencai indicated to the soldier and the soldier hugged the rabbit, opening its mouth.
The pharmacist scooped up a spoonful of the poison and carefully poured it into the rabbit's mouth. The rabbit was much smaller than a human after all, so he didn't have much to drink.
The soldier slowly placed the rabbit on the ground.
In a moment, the rabbit was weak on all fours. It staggered for a moment and then fell to the ground, dying.
Qin Wencai immediately ordered, "Antidote."
The medicine boy gave the rabbit another gulp of the antidote he had made.
After taking the antidote, B.Rabbit's spirit gradually recovered. Nearly an hour later, he was in high spirits as he happily hopped around the tent. Unexpectedly, after another hour, without warning, he collapsed on the ground, bleeding out from his seven orifices.
Dead!
Qin Wencai inhaled a breath of cold air, and smiled at Qin Mian in gratitude and delight. It was fortunate that he was here. Otherwise, even the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers would have ended in his hands!
Doctor Yu and the rest were all dumbstruck. They were completely convinced of Qin Mian's power.
"Sir Qin, I'm impressed!"
"Everyone, thank you for your praise." Qin Mian said with a stern face, "I have already ordered people to prepare all the medicinal ingredients needed to detoxify the poison, there is no time to lose, we will immediately have someone to boil the medicine for everyone here."
"Yes sir!"
Qin Mian instructed the captain, "Report this to the National Duke immediately. Also, send people to closely monitor the place where the medicine is being brewed, in case the villains take the chance to cause trouble again."
"Yes sir!" The captain accepted the order with conviction.
Qin Mian was a little worried, he hid in the shadows and personally observed the people using hundreds of big pots to boil medicine, and when no one was looking, he dropped a drop of Spirit Spring Water in each pot to help the soldiers recover their spirit and stamina faster.
When the medicine was ready, he ordered all the doctors and medicine boys to feed it to the soldiers.
By the time he was done, it was already midnight.
Early in the morning the next day, Qin Mian was woken up by the excited shouts coming from outside the tent. A general was standing on the podium and talking with a smile on his face.
Qin Wencai walked over and smiled: "You're awake? All the soldiers recovered well. They would be back on the battlefield in two more days. The Great General ordered someone to send a message, telling the two of us and the other six military doctors to rest well today, and to move to the barracks outside the city tomorrow morning to help. "
Doctor Yu and a few others walked over, and were very friendly with Qin Mian.
"I can finally relax. Sir Qin, Imperial Physician Qin, we would like to treat you two for lunch and to give you a welcoming reception. I wonder if the two lords would like to honor me? "
Qin Mian had originally pla
ed to go to the military camp outside the city after breakfast. Seeing that they were on good terms with each other, he did not feel it right to refuse.
"Alright, I'll let the few of you spend the money."
After the six military doctors left, Qin Mian and Qin Wencai wrote a memorial on detoxification, telling all the soldiers to send it to the capital in eight hundred miles.
In the afternoon, Qin Mian, Qin Wencai and the six military doctors ate a meal together in a restaurant in the city.
Qin Mian packed up briefly, then got the people in the army to send a soldier to lead the way to the army camp outside the city.
When Qin Wencai heard about this, he suggested that they go together.
Qin Mian reckoned that he was anxious to know if there was a mole on his back, so he didn't refuse. After greeting the six military doctors, the two of them took their leave first.
When they arrived at the city gates, the soldiers immediately opened them with the Imperial Jade Seal in hand.
Not even an hour had passed since the steed galloped forward. From the window of the carriage, Qin Mian could see the maze-like tent in the distance.
Qin Wencai knew that he must have definitely thought of Lei Tia, and felt that it was rather awkward for his own son to actually be together with a man. However, since Qin Mian still refused to admit that he was his son, he could only sigh in his heart.
Up close, there were even more "mushrooms". In front of the barracks, there was a fence made of sharp wooden poles. A door opened in the middle, and four soldiers stood on either side of it, blocking them with long spears.
"Who are you!"
Once again, Qin Mian showed the letter. One of the soldiers guided him towards a tent in the middle of the mushroom group. There were four soldiers standing guard in front of the tent.
"Sir Qin, this is the Great General's military tent. Imperial Physician Qin, your tent is over here.
Qin Mian walked into the tent. In the middle of the tent, there was a long table, on the table was a large sand table, and beside the table, there were ten chairs. On each side of the long table was a charcoal brazier with no fire in it. There was a bed in the tent. To be more accurate, it was made up of several soft animal skins and a quilt. It was rather messy. One could tell that the owner had left in a hurry.
Qin Mian asked the two soldiers to help him move the things in the horse carriage into the tent and gave them a jar of curd milk. The moment the two soldiers went out, he lazily laid on the bed, lying under the bed. At this time, Lei Tia definitely had important matters to attend to, so he could only wait for Lei Tia to return.
Lei Tia returned to the tent after finishing his work. He saw a person lying under the bed, sleeping soundly with his pillow in his arms. His lips were slightly agape, and some saliva still flowed out from the corner of his mouth.
He walked over gently and placed his hands on his wife's sides. He bent down and sealed her lips.
"Ugh ??" "Hmm?" Qin Mian didn't even need to open his eyes to know who the person was.
Both were in love.
Just then, Qin Wencai's voice came out from outside the tent.
"Are the Great General s present?"
Qin Mian immediately pushed Lei Tia away and explained his guesses about his identity.
Lei Tia frowned, and since he could not speak, he raised his voice and said: "Great General, this old man, Qin Wencai, requests an audience."
Qin Mian and Lei Tia stood up and helped each other tidy up their clothes.
Qin Mian licked his lips, confirming that there were no suspicious marks on his lips, and nodded towards Lei Tia.
Lei Tia then said, "Come in."
The three of them sat by the long table. Qin Wencai looked at Qin Mian, then looked at Lei Tia.
"Great General, forgive this old one for my presumptuousness. Regarding this old woman's guess about your wife's identity, I believe your wife has already mentioned it to you? "
Lei Tia nodded lightly.
Qin Wencai asked nervously: "Then, Great General, may I ask, does your wife have a mole on her right shoulder?"
Lei Tia did not react at all, and after a long while, he gave a slight nod.
Qin Wencai stood up excitedly, and the chair fell to the ground. He stared at Qin Mian, tears streaming down his face, "I knew you would be my son! "He-er ??"
"Don't get too excited." Qin Mian helped him to sit down, and said calmly, "Although I am now certain that I am your son, as you know, I can't remember anything else before I appeared in front of the Qingshan Village, so ?? I hope you can give me some time. "
