Chapter 226 The Secret of the 9 Needles to Restore Vitality
Not only the general and Qi Fu were stunned, but even Jiang Tunan next to them was stunned.
"Mr. Gao, what do you mean?"
The young men behind the old man all lowered their heads, and the old man's voice was full of vicissitudes.
“No matter how seriously ill a person is, as long as the Nine Needles of Restoring Yang are used, they can immediately recover to their pre-illness state. However, the effect is only three days, after which the person will surely die!”
This is why the Gao family has guarded this unique skill in the past. If the Nine Needles of Restoring Yang fell into the hands of people with ulterior motives, it would probably become a tool for killing people.
"Father!"
Qi Fu hurriedly supported the general who was about to fall to the ground. The general held his head with his left hand, with endless despair in his eyes.
"Is this... Is God's will to destroy Daxing?"
"Mr. Gao, is there no other way?"
Seeing his adoptive father looking so heartbroken, Qi Fu couldn't help but ask the Gao family again, hoping to find a solution.
"My Gao family is helpless against this poison, but there is one person who may have a solution."
"who is it?"
When the general heard that there was a solution, he immediately perked up.
"Wen Zhaowen is a genius doctor, but he lives deep in the mountains and his whereabouts are uncertain. It may take some time to find him."
"Even if it's troublesome, we have to find him. This is the only way for the Daxing soldiers to survive."
The general looked at the soldiers outside the tent whose skin was eroded by the poison and there was a flash of pity in his eyes.
"Foster father, the morale of the army is low right now. If we don't show everyone a little hope, I'm afraid we won't be able to hold on for much longer."
As things developed to this point, Jiang Tunan had already anticipated what would happen next. Sure enough, he heard Qi Fu say,
"Please allow the Gao family to give me acupuncture in public. Only by letting everyone see that my poison has been cured can we stabilize the morale of the army."
"No! Absolutely not!"
The general was a little agitated, but Qi Fu refused to give in.
"General, please order the Gao family to give me acupuncture in public!"
The general kicked Qi Fu to the ground with a look of determination in his eyes.
"Don't worry about this, I'll do it."
"No, General! If anything happens to you, what will happen to this huge army?"
The Gao family members all lay on the ground, their bodies trembling slightly.
"If it doesn't work, I can come."
Jiang Tunan muttered something nearby, although no one could hear it.
"Go and call in all the generals."
The surrounding environment changed again, and past events unfolded before Jiang Tunan's eyes like a kaleidoscope.
In front of Jiang Tunan were soldiers whose skins were corroded by the poison and looked horrible. Qi Fu was standing behind the general with a look of pity on his face.
"General, the poison in our bodies has penetrated deep into our bones and is incurable. We are living a life worse than death. Please give us a quick death."
"General, please order the Gao family to give me acupuncture!"
"Please give the order, General!"
Every soldier's face was filled with the fearlessness of death.
"If I can live three days of vigor and vitality again, I will be satisfied!"
"I have no regrets in my life for being able to fight for Daxing again in the last three days."
"At least I had time to write a letter home..."
Seeing this, Jiang Tunan felt a little heavy-hearted. She remembered hearing people talk about the battle between Daxing and Dayin, in which Dayin used poison to kill many Daxing soldiers.
The appearance of the Nine Huiyang Needles greatly boosted the morale of the army. Because they were no longer afraid of Dayin's poison, the Daxing army was unstoppable.
Finally, the genius doctor Wen Zhaowen, who is also Wen Yinzhi's master, tested the poison on himself and finally found the antidote to Dayin's poison. Dayin was defeated by Daxing and has now become a vassal state of Daxing.
"Mr. Gao, the secret of the Nine Yang Needles must never be revealed to anyone else. If the big yin people find out that the Nine Yang Needles cannot cure the poison, I'm afraid they will try their best to attack, and more people will be hurt."
"My Gao family will definitely keep the secret of the Nine Needles to restore vitality!"
Jiang Tunan sighed a little, he didn't expect that the thing that Yu Niang and Xiao Wu tried their best to protect was fake. In order to seize the Nine Needles of Returning Yang, the big Yin people brutally killed Yu Niang's family. I'm afraid that the death of the last heir of the Gao family was also their hand.
So many people have suffered tragedies for such an illusory thing.
Suddenly, a bright white light appeared in front of Jiang Tunan's eyes, and Wen Yinzhi's voice was heard in his ears.
"Miss Jiang, we have arrived at the Imperial Medical Bureau. Please get out of the car."
Jiang Tunan opened his eyes and found that he had escaped from the dream.
After getting off the carriage, she and Wen Yinzhi entered the Imperial Medical Bureau together. Because of the emperor's special permission, the people in the Imperial Medical Bureau were not surprised to see Jiang Tunan appear in the Imperial Medical Bureau again.
"Yu Niang and Xiao Wu were placed in this courtyard by Lord Li."
Jiang Tunan walked forward and pushed open the gate, and happened to see Xiao Wu decocting medicine in the yard.
The stove with the medicine pot on it was almost as tall as Xiao Wu. He was seen fanning himself attentively, keeping an eye on the temperature of the decocting medicine.
"elder sister?"
Xiao Wu looked up and saw Jiang Tunan at the gate, with surprise in his eyes.
"You're back?"
Jiang Tunan looked at Wen Yinzhi in confusion, and the latter coughed a few times in embarrassment.
"I haven't had time to tell them about your return to Kyoto."
There seemed to be displeasure in Jiang Tunan's eyes.
"Why let such a young child like Xiao Wu come to boil the medicine? Is there no one in the Imperial Medical Bureau? How old is he? What if he hurts himself?"
Wen Yinzhi looked a little embarrassed.
"In the beginning, someone took care of her, but because Yu Niang was unwilling to reveal the whereabouts of the Nine Needles for Restoring Yang, the other doctors gradually became dissatisfied, and the eunuchs also treated her favorably, so over time, no one came."
"Does Lord Li know about this?"
Jiang Tunan remembered that Xiao Wu had said before that the imperial physician, Lord Li, had some connections with his family. If he knew what had happened to the two children, he would surely not sit idly by.
"Lord Li knows that the condition can only be improved for one or two days each time, but those medicine boys will shirk responsibility on the grounds that they are busy with work. In the long run, they still have to rely on themselves."
Wen Yinzhi was helpless about this. He was often busy with the affairs of the Imperial Medical Bureau. It was already too much for him to guard against those in the Imperial Medical Bureau who wanted to use the Nine Yang Needles, not to mention taking care of these two children.
"Xiao Wu, how is your sister?"
Xiao Wu looked up, and Jiang Tunan squatted down to talk to him.
"Can you take me to see Yu Niang?"
Xiao Wu nodded happily.
"Sister, my sister will definitely be very happy to know that you are here. She has been worried about you."
Jiang Tunan took the fan from Xiao Wu's hand and handed it to Wen Yinzhi next to him.
"Then may I trouble you, Lord Wen, to boil the medicine?"
Wen Yinzhi took the fan and nodded solemnly.
"Miss Jiang, go ahead and don't worry. I'll take care of this."
Jiang Tunan: Speak properly!
Jiang Tunan glanced at Wen Yinzhi with a puzzled expression, then went into the house with Xiao Wu.
As soon as Jiang Tunan walked in, he saw Yu Niang lying weakly on the bed. She was even thinner than when Jiang Tunan first saw her.
"Sister, Sister Jiang is here."
