Super Cultivation System of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 322 Nine Flowers Destroying the Heart
For Fuluo Han and King Xiutu, this news was simply the best thing they had heard in recent times.

"Great! As long as Liu He dies, the Han army will be in chaos!"

Unexpectedly, the messenger shook his head and said, "That may not be the case. If he had taken this slow-acting poison for a few more days, it would have killed him. However, he was eager to go north and left his residence soon. The man had never served with the army and had no chance to continue poisoning him. In addition, he has always been in good health, so he should not have been poisoned to death."

The two seemed a little disappointed when they heard this.

"Never mind, it doesn't matter. As long as he is poisoned, he will naturally not be as brave as before, and he will be close to death. Your Excellency and your master are truly gods!"

The two said this, but their eyes showed another meaning...

Meanwhile, Liu He only felt the pain in his stomach becoming more and more intense. Even with his willpower, he began to break out in cold sweats from the pain, and his right hand holding the Yang Ming Po Ni Zhan began to tremble slightly.

Cui Jun was frightened when he saw his face turning pale and his lips turning purple.

"My lord, you... you might be poisoned!"

Cui Jun was not sure, but Liu He's current state meant that he was either sick or poisoned. However, he had always been in good health, lived a regular life, practiced martial arts diligently, and often took tonics. How could he suddenly become so ill for no reason? So after thinking about it, he could only think that he was poisoned by a chronic poison and it was now acting up.

Liu He had such unbearable abdominal pain that he could hardly hold on to his weapon. His mind went dizzy and he almost fell off the Black King's back.

"Retreat... retreat, sound the horn... return to the headquarters to defend..."

Although the situation is good now, no one knows what kind of poison Liu He was poisoned with. If he died, it would be an unprecedented blow to the morale of the Anmin Army. At that time, it is very likely that the situation of the war will be reversed in an instant. Therefore, it is urgent to shrink the formation and defend, and then let the military doctor check Liu He's injuries.

Cui Jun and Liu He fought and retreated. Fortunately, when Liu He was poisoned just now, he killed a group of Hu cavalry who rushed over to die, so they were still frightened and did not rush forward all at once, which allowed the two to escape successfully.

A few miles away from the battlefield, there was a camp where some people in charge of logistics were stationed.

"Ding ding ding..."

The clear sound echoed throughout the battlefield, causing everyone to look back.

"Hmm? Why did big brother ring the bell?"

Guan Yu and others were very confused. They didn't know that Liu He had been poisoned. Now that the war was going so smoothly, they should take advantage of the situation to annihilate these Hu people in one fell swoop.

However, the Anmin Army has always had extremely strict military discipline, and because of Liu He's trust in them, everyone thought that perhaps he had some new strategy, so they didn't think much about it.

The Purple Gold Dragon Cavalry, the Divine Machine Camp, the Han Wuzu, and the Golden Sword Camp coordinated and covered each other as they retreated one after another.

The Xianbei and Xiongnu cavalry were about to give chase when they received orders from Furohan and King Xiutu behind them.

"All troops must be ready, and no pursuit is allowed! Once the troops are ready, all the troops will march out together to destroy the enemy camp!"

Everyone thought so. The previous battle was so unsuccessful because the Han army had set up a formation to restrain the cavalry at the entrance of the valley, which resulted in the impact power of more than 100,000 cavalry being weakened layer by layer, and their combat effectiveness was naturally greatly reduced.

Now that the Han army was retreating, there was just enough time for the Xianbei and the Huns to gather all their cavalry together and launch an offensive. With hundreds of thousands of cavalry, that would be like thunder and lightning, earth-shaking, enough to wipe out the Han army in one fell swoop.

Therefore, a strange scene appeared on the battlefield. The fierce battle that had just been fought to the death suddenly stopped, and both sides retreated. Ding Yuan and Lu Bu, who were watching the battle on the city wall dozens of miles away, were also full of confusion.

Guan Yu and others quickly retreated outside the military camp, but saw only Cui Jun waiting there.

"Military Advisor, where is my elder brother?"

Cui Jun walked over quickly and said, "Generals, quickly set up a defensive formation. I see that the Xianbei and Xiongnu are gathering their troops. I'm afraid it won't be long before they launch an attack. You must hold on! The lord has met with an accident and is being treated by a military doctor in the tent."

When Guan Yu and others heard this, they became anxious and wanted to run in to see Liu He, but were stopped by Cui Jun.

"My lord has ordered that you may enter the tent only after you have deployed your formation!"

Although Guan Yu and others were anxious, they also knew that the overall situation was more important, and they cooperated with each other to set up the formation.

Cheng Liang and others who were fighting the Hu cavalry in the valley also heard the sound of the bugle coming from outside the valley. Although they didn't know the situation, they vaguely guessed that something must have happened. They were extremely anxious and wanted to rush out, but it would be difficult with thousands of enemy soldiers blocking their way.

"Get out of my way!" Cheng Liang was so angry that the power of the Tiangang Soul-Chasing Halberd in his hand increased a little bit.

However, with Fuluo Han and King Xiutu constantly encouraging their men, those Hu cavalrymen were not as easy to scare as before, and naturally Cheng Liang could not scare them away easily.

"Damn it, damn it!"

Cheng Liang was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, but there was nothing he could do.

Guan Yu and others quickly completed the task of forming the battle formation. All the soldiers firmly occupied their positions, passed the water bags and dry food in turn, and took a short rest on the spot.

"Big brother!"

"Lord!"

Everyone rushed into the tent, but was glared at by a military doctor, who told them to speak more quietly.

Liu He's eyes were closed, his face was pale, he was sweating, his body was trembling slightly, and he looked very painful. Several military doctors surrounded him and treated him at the same time.

"Sir, my elder brother..."

Guan Yu asked one of the military doctors anxiously.

The military doctor looked solemn, sighed, and pulled Guan Yu aside. Zhang Yong and others hurriedly followed.

"Lord Liu has been poisoned, and it's a slow-acting poison that's just taking effect now."

Everyone was shocked!

"What, poisoned? How could this happen..."

Gao Shun was calmer at this time. He asked, "Is it possible to solve it?"

Everyone looked at the military doctor with expectant eyes.

The military doctor shook his head and said, "This poison is called Nine-Flower Heart-Destroying Powder. It is made from nine different poisonous flowers and made into nine packets of powder. If you take one each day, the toxicity will become more severe day by day. Once you take all nine, even a god will be unable to save you. How can there be an antidote..."

"What! This..."

When everyone heard that there was no antidote, their faces suddenly fell into despair.

Liu He can now be said to be the spiritual pillar of almost everyone in the Quan'an Min Army, especially for Guan Yu and others, with whom he is sworn brother. If he dies, it goes without saying how much of a mental blow it will be to these people.

"Sir, please find a way to save my brother. Guan begs you!"

"I beg you!"

Everyone pretended to kneel down.

The military doctor could not bear such a great honor and hurriedly helped them up.

"Generals, there is no need to do this. Lord Liu is a man of unparalleled benevolence and righteousness, and he is blessed by heaven. Although this Nine Flowers Heart-Destroying Powder is extremely poisonous, fortunately, Lord Liu should have only taken it for seven days. Although it is still highly toxic, at least his life is not in danger for the time being."

When everyone heard this, they were overjoyed.

"In this case, I hope you can treat me quickly!"

The military doctor said, "Although you have only taken seven kinds of flower poison, it will not be fatal for the time being, but there is no antidote for this poison. If it accumulates in the body for a long time, it will make the lord feel like a knife is cutting his heart and his stomach aches unbearably, and each time it gets more severe than the last time. If this continues, even a god will not be able to endure it and will die sooner or later. We are not good at medicine, but with the help of some precious herbs carefully cultivated by Mr. Xu, we can barely suppress the toxicity. As for detoxification... Alas, please forgive us for being powerless."

Mr. Xu was the shopkeeper of the medicine garden in Langdiao County back then. In recent years, he has been managing a large-scale medicine garden for the Anmin Army in Huangshui Township. Most of the herbs in these gardens are grown in the later stages of the medicine gardens exchanged in Liu He's system. In addition, Mr. Xu cultivates them according to the system's methods, so the medicinal properties are naturally much stronger.

But despite this, the military doctor still said that he could not detoxify Liu He, which made everyone feel as if the sky was falling. Even Guan Yu, a nine-foot tall man, felt dizzy and almost fell down.
