Kill the enemy and get a wife? I'll single-handedly slaughter my way through the Northern Barba

In an instant, the atmosphere of grief paused.

Bi Fang looked up and asked, "General Lin, what did you say?"

Lin Feng stepped forward, his voice calm yet resolute: "I said, I can try to detoxify His Highness Prince Qin."

"Third brother! Don't talk nonsense!" Li Ping'an grabbed Lin Feng. "What medical skills do you know?"

Prince Qin, Li Yan, is destined to be beyond saving, and if Lin Feng intervenes, he might be held responsible for the emperor's anger if he were to investigate later.

Cao Kun, his eyes red, sighed, "General Lin, you've already saved His Highness Prince Qin once, that's enough."

"Medical matters are not your forte, don't force yourself."

Lin Feng cupped his hands in greeting, his face serious: "Actually, before I joined the army, I was instructed by a wandering Taoist priest and learned some medical skills."

"Although the Five Poisons Powder is dangerous, it just so happens that the Taoist priest taught me how to detoxify it."

He said that with my skills, I could barely be considered... a half-miracle doctor.

Li Pingan, Lü Zheng, Du Banruo, and others who knew him were all dumbfounded.

You think you can fool me?

They don't even know if Lin Feng has medical skills?

Minister of War Cao Kun stared at Lin Feng in disbelief and asked, "General Lin, is there truly a way to detoxify him?"

Lin Feng's eyes flickered slightly, and he sighed softly before saying, "The Five Poisons Powder originated from the Nanzhao Kingdom a thousand years ago, and was derived from the Gu poison of the Nanzhao Kingdom."

"To refine the Five Poisons Powder, one must follow the ancient method, using a special vessel at a specific time to combine the poisons and resentment of the five insects."

Prince Li Zhen of Jin looked surprised and asked, "Since it's a rare poison made using ancient methods, how can you possibly cure it?"

Everyone else looked at Lin Feng, wondering if he really had a solution.

"The wonder of the Five Poisons Powder lies in the fact that it is not a simple superposition of five poisons, but rather that the properties of the five poisons form a closed loop in the human body."

"The five elements generate each other and circulate endlessly. Those who are poisoned by this strange poison will experience the failure of their five internal organs in turn, and at an extremely rapid pace."

"If we do not know the root cause and cannot find the appropriate medicine, even a medical sage resurrected could not save the patient."

As he spoke, Lin Feng pointed inside the house.

"Mr. Meng and Mr. Cai's acupuncture treatment was timely and could temporarily suppress the toxicity."

"If I were to prescribe a medicine, supplemented with highly nourishing herbs such as ginseng, it could extend His Highness Prince Qin's life by seven days."

"If we gather the elixir within seven days, and I then perform the treatment, His Highness Prince Qin will be saved."

Minister of Rites Yin Li was both surprised and delighted: "General Lin, tell me quickly, what kind of elixir do you need to gather?"

Lin Feng, with his hands behind his back, began to speak slowly and deliberately.

"The Five Poisons Powder contains the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. The five poisons are the Iron-backed Centipede, the Green Silkworm, the Black Jade Leech, the Red-chained Scorpion, and the Netherworld Spider."

"These five poisonous substances are rare in the world. It would take several years to gather them together and refine them into a poison. The person who used the poison was truly malicious."

"To overcome the five poisons, one must first use the thousand-cloud mushroom to break the golden centipede. Its medicinal properties are light and ascending, and it specifically enters the lung meridian."

Qianyunzhi?

Minister of Rites Yin Li frowned slightly and said, "The rare medicine that General Lin mentioned is unheard of. I'm afraid... it can only be found in the imperial treasury in the capital."

Lin Feng nodded slightly: "Lord Yin is right. The Thousand Cloud Mushroom alone is extremely rare in the world, and the others are just as rare."

"Blood Dragon Wood can break Wood Silkworm; Yang Flame Sand can break Leech; Frost Grass can break Fire Scorpion; Earth Dragon Vine can break Earth Spider."

"These five miraculous medicines must be delivered to Zhenyuan City within seven days, or His Highness Prince Qin will surely die!"

Cai Wen stroked his beard and praised repeatedly.

"Wonderful! Wonderful!"

"The rare medicine chosen by General Lin is exactly the opposite of the five poisons, but... even with the rare medicine, His Highness Prince Qin will probably face a nine-out-of-ten chance of death."

Cai Wen knew perfectly well that the medicine Lin Feng had chosen was excellent.

However, the actual detoxification process is not simply a matter of having medicinal herbs; it requires a series of complicated steps, and if not handled properly, Prince Qin, Li Yan, could lose his life.

When the emperor investigates, how can Lin Feng escape responsibility?

"It's better to have a narrow escape from death than to have no chance of survival even if you die ten times over."

Minister of War Cao Kun immediately made the decision: "General Bi, you will lead a hundred-man cavalry unit to leave Zhenyuan City immediately and head to the capital."

"One man and three riders, traveling day and night, will reach the capital and inform His Majesty of the matter."

"The miraculous medicine General Lin spoke of must be delivered within seven days!"

If King Li Yan of Qin dies here, the two ministers Cao Kun and Yin Li will be held accountable.

Even peace negotiations will likely encounter unexpected setbacks.

Bi Fang gritted his teeth, his eyes turning bloodshot.

"If the medicine does not arrive within seven days, I will bring you my head!"

After saying this, Bifang turned and left.

He had made up his mind that if anything happened to the King of Qin, he would commit suicide to atone for his sins.

The reason why Raymond Lam knows medicine can be traced back to the boost that Du Banruo gave him.

After he had physical intimacy with Du Banruo, Lin Feng activated the "Miraculous Healing and Kind Heart" skill that Du Banruo possessed.

He discovered that whenever he saw a drug, information about the drug would automatically pop into his mind.

When I see someone with a disease, I can think of relevant treatment options for that disease.

Lin Feng simply had never used this ability.

He gave Cao Kun and Yin Li another prescription, asking them to prepare the medicine according to the prescription in order to keep Prince Qin, Li Yan, alive.

"Brother Lin!"

At this moment, the second prince of the Northern Barbarians, Nanmuhe, came up and handed him a small wooden box.

"This is a 'ginseng pill' exclusively used by our Northern Barbarian royal family. It is a highly nourishing substance that can keep a dying person alive."

"I present it to His Highness the King of Qin, hoping that His Highness can turn danger into safety."

Nanmuhe went to great lengths to prove that the assassination was unrelated to the Northern Barbarian delegation.

Even the secret medicines of the Northern Barbarian royal family were given away to the princes of the Great Qian Dynasty.

"Thank you, Your Highness Nanmuhe!"

Lin Feng accepted the ginseng pill and then gave the order: "Take out all the tableware used by His Highness Prince Qin at today's banquet, as well as all the leftover food."

"I want to check them one by one!"

Upon hearing this, Prince Li Zhen of Jin frowned slightly and said, "General Lin, what do you mean? Do you suspect that someone poisoned my brother's food?"

"We consumed all the food and drinks at the banquet without any ill effects, and besides, didn't my brother suffer a poisoned needle wound in his chest?"

A flicker of surprise and panic flashed in Prince Li Zhen's eyes, which he could hardly conceal.

Lin Feng nodded slightly and explained, "His Highness Prince Qin was indeed poisoned by the needle, but His Highness is the bravest in the army, yet he was wounded by the bandits while pursuing the enemy."

"I suspect there's something fishy going on here. Please take a look."

Lin Feng held up a cloth bag: "This is what the assassin threw out on Jixiang Street."

"I've checked it; it contains a medicinal powder from the Western Regions called 'Rosemary'."

Rosemary?

The group looked at each other, bewildered as to the origin and uses of rosemary.

Meng Qi leaned forward and sniffed: "How strange! Rosemary was an important ingredient in the formulation of 'Five-Stone Powder' in the previous dynasty."

"After the 'Medical Sage' of the Great Qian Dynasty destroyed all the prescriptions for 'Five Stone Powder,' the circulation of this drug has been strictly prohibited within the Great Qian Dynasty for three hundred years."

"Besides, rosemary on its own is harmless to humans, so why would a thief spray it?"

Lin Feng and Meng Qi were of the same mind, and Lin Feng chimed in, "That's why I said there's something strange about this rosemary; it must have an extremely important function!"

"Perhaps we should look for clues in what His Highness the King of Qin ate today."
