Chapter 1284: War Drums Rise

ds had just fallen when Dugu Su spoke, "Fourth Royal Princess, don't bother explaining for her. This King knows what's going on."Dugu Su looked at Feng Lingxi, “The poison on your wrist, this King wil..."Let's take a look, there must be some more."

Du Gucheng responded and hurriedly took Feng Lingxi over. He searched the place where Du Gucheng had picked purple ground orchids before, and sure enough, he found quite a few. Feng Lingxi picked some and then went back to the camp to start preparing the medicine. She had to try its effect.

For patients with mild symptoms, it might offer some relief, though it's not a perfect solution.

Feng Lingxi added several herbs, and the first batch of antidote pills was thus produced.

"Try to get them to eat it and see if it works."

Dugu City handed the pills to Ye Xi, "Find a few soldiers who are good at martial arts and capture them. Give them the medicine."

Feng Lingxi handed another prepared pill to Sancai, "Give this to those who ate dog meat and see what happens to them after they take it."

Sān cái looked at Fēng líng xī as she handed him the box, "Princess, will these antidotes work"

"I can't guarantee that, but it definitely won't worsen their condition. This is just one of the herbs I know, and one of many medicinal ingredients I use in my detoxifying remedies. Though they are all made from plants, they are very effective."

Sancai saw the pills for the first time and was filled with disbelief. After all, he couldn't believe that such a small pill could cure their illness.

However, the few people who were poisoned didn't care. They obediently ate the medicine.

"I didn't expect you to be so fast. A physician is like a parent, showing compassion. You're quite thoughtful, unlike that Li Wu-Yan, who hasn't returned yet. He said he went back to find a solution, but I think he's just incompetent and ran away."

Lu Nian's tone was full of displeasure. Feng Ling Xi was just foolish, insisting on staying here to be treated by them. There was no antidote for this illness, and she still wanted to risk trying it.

"How do you know he is not coming"

Feng Lingxi raised her beautiful eyes slightly, looking at Lu Nian's face full of disbelief, "He was able to help me yesterday, and he hasn't arrived today. He must be finding a way."

"I hope you're telling the truth."

Lu Nian didn't want to argue with Feng Lingxi, after all, Feng Lingxi was unhappy, and as her older brother, he felt suffocated in his heart. She wanted to save people, and he could only go along with it.

I don't know if something really delayed him or if Lu Nian guessed it right, but by lunchtime, Li Wuyan hadn't appeared.

The patients who took the first batch of pills developed by Feng Lingxi did not show much change, especially Liu Da's two sons. The two fought even more fiercely. It was only Ye Xi who pointed their acupoints that prevented them from biting each other to death.

By dusk, Li Wuyan still hadn't returned. Feng Lingxi went to the five villagers whose condition had improved slightly, looking at their listless eyes, she felt their pulses one by one, examining them. Their pulse was normal and there was no sign of violence.

Tomorrow will be the third day. According to this seven-day madness, tomorrow will begin to go mad and tear each other apart.

Feng Lingxi, seeing them like this, brewed another batch of medicine for them, adding a detoxifying herb. Before they went to sleep, she made them take it and ordered someone to watch over them closely to prevent any accidents.

This day, Li Wu-yan did not appear. Feng Lingxi sat by the campfire, anticipating yet fearing tomorrow's arrival.

She was afraid it would have no effect, but she also looked forward to whether the five of them could be detoxified tomorrow.

Dugu Cheng went out in the evening, saying he had something to do outside the village. He hasn't come back yet. Lu Nian watched Feng Lingxi from afar, wanting several times to go over and comfort her, but didn't know what to say.

"Your Highness, why haven't you rested yet"

Xiaoli carried over the porridge boiled by the villagers, "This is the porridge the villagers boiled for you, eat some."

Feng Lingxi took it, but at dinner time, she ate little. The poison hadn't been dispelled yet. Looking at the villagers' expectant gazes, how could she bring herself to eat

"Xiao Li, you said I was wrong where Why doesn't my medicine work"

"Your Highness, this medicine doesn't work instantly. Besides, the five people are all fine now. If they don't go mad tomorrow, it means the medicine is working. Your Highness, your medicine is effective. Don't think about anything right now, just get some rest. Tomorrow, I will go and check on them and tell you the results."

Then remember to tell me tomorrow.

Feng Lingxi warned, she was a bit afraid to face it. If it still didn't work, Liu gege would only have one day left. She was afraid that she would fail.

Xiao Li responded, and Feng Ling Xi only then ate the congee and went to sleep early.

At midnight, a wolf howl suddenly echoed through the village. Feng Lingxi jolted awake from her tent, thinking she had misheard. Then, hurried footsteps sounded outside, and Xiao Li entered.

"Your Highness, a pack of wolves suddenly descended from the mountain and injured several soldiers. The villagers were all awakened."

“A pack of wolves”

Feng Ling hastily straightened her clothes and walked out. Looking at the soldiers outside, holding torches and gathering in formation, she saw a pack of wolves across from them, about a dozen large and small.

Feng Lingxi was still seeing a wolf pack for the first time. Looking at those pairs of glowing eyes, Feng Lingxi walked over and suddenly her arm was grabbed.

"Don't go any closer, these wolves aren't acting right. I just asked the villagers, and they said nothing like this has ever happened in their village in a thousand years."

"Could someone have deliberately lured them here"

When they came down from the mountain, they didn't encounter anything like this at all. Moreover, this mountain is connected to the east side of the military camp. If there were wolves, they would have been discovered long ago, so how could they not know

"Most likely."

Lu Nianhu stood in front of Feng Lingxi, "Be careful, these wolves aren't easy to deal with."

Wind Ling nodded, watching the soldiers holding their swords. These wolves didn't flinch in the slightest, instead staring at them with bloodthirsty eyes that sent chills down anyone's spine.

Strangely, the pack of wolves did not seem to be aggressive. They just stared at them, Feng Lingxi felt that they were probably waiting for an opportunity, or possibly waiting for orders.

Alone City went out, suddenly so many wolves popped up, there must be some conspiracy in this.

"We're so many, we're not afraid. We just worry that this is only the beginning."

Lu Nian glanced at the surrounding terrain. This was extremely unfavorable to them. If someone really wanted to cause trouble, they would be trapped like a turtle in a jar.

Could it be love

Feng Lingxi calculated, there were over twenty wolves, all incredibly strong. This wolf pack was notorious for being difficult to deal with.

Here, there are no more than a hundred soldiers, and the villagers are all unarmed. If they were to fight, they would be at a disadvantage.

Lu Nian, how is your martial arts

Feng Lingxi suddenly asked, Lu Nian, who was asked, had a confident face.

"I can protect you more than enough."

"None of the villagers here can have any problems, only I can't."

Lu Nian frowned, "That won't be easy then. Your husband and I could work together if he were here, but alone, I'm a little overwhelmed." After all, so many villagers need protecting here. If he fought, he could only look after Feng Lingxi; as for everyone else, he couldn't manage them all.ng's mind is made up, you don't have to say more, not to mention that the emperor has also agreed, in three days, this king will set off, a battle between brothers, and so farewell."But..."Alright, if...
