Su Muqing and Huo Qiyuan and the others ate something casually during this time. They had been walking around busy all morning, and then spent several hours in the space. It wasn't until they stopped to rest that everyone realized their stomachs were empty.
The soldiers behind continued to carry people out. The first hundred patients who were carried out had already begun to take medicine. There were a total of ten military doctors, and behind each doctor followed ten assistants or soldiers, each group carrying a bucket of medicine.
Because the patients would experience abdominal pain, vomiting, and expulsion of parasites after taking the medicine, a soldier in full protective gear stood beside each patient to guard against any unforeseen circumstances.
This time, a little more spiritual spring water was added than before. Therefore, after the first batch of patients took the medicine, it only took a few minutes for some patients to start reacting.
Ten minutes later, basically everyone in the first batch of patients who had taken the medicine began to expel parasites. That scene was truly...
Su Muqing patted her chest, constantly swallowing. She suddenly regretted eating so quickly and regretted coming out to guard without resting after eating.
It wasn't just Su Muqing who had this thought. Huo Qiyuan and the members of the Cold Character team, upon seeing a group of people vomiting incessantly, and the clusters of wriggling red worms on the ground, also felt that the quick onset was indeed a bit hasty.
In fact, they were quite far from those patients. It was only because their vision had improved significantly after consuming the spiritual spring water for a long time that they could see so clearly.
The soldiers standing next to those patients at this moment not only saw clearly but could also smell the corrosive, sour odor through their protective suits and masks.
Their job, besides preventing patients from going mad and running around, was to constantly monitor for any escape or spread of the blood-sucking worms. If they saw any vomit containing worms crawling nearby, they had to immediately grab lime powder and sprinkle it on them to ensure that the bacteria and viruses from the blood-sucking worms did not spread.
Two hours passed, and Su Muqing and the others did not leave their posts. Besides dispensing medicine, they also had to walk among the patients to prevent any special situations from occurring that could not be dealt with in time.
Around 6 PM, the sky had already darkened. To prevent the late hour from hindering everyone's vision, which might lead to the accidental release of blood-sucking worms without them noticing, Su Muqing ordered a halt to the medication for the day. The patients who had already taken the medicine were to be moved to another designated area for accommodation, and the remaining patients would continue the treatment the next morning.
Sian Prefecture took a full eleven days to help all those infected with bacteria and viruses expel the parasites. During the more than ten days that the meteorite was sealed, no new infections appeared, proving that Sian Prefecture had escaped the crisis.
Now that the infected people had been cured, the next step was to properly regulate their bodies and restore the blood and qi that had been consumed as much as possible.
Meanwhile, Huo Qixiao had been traveling for over twenty days since departing from the capital for Sian Prefecture. He led five thousand elite troops, traveling non-stop, towards Chehe City, where one hundred thousand troops were stationed. wΑp.kanshu伍.net
As soon as Huo Qixiao arrived at Chehe City, the general guarding the city reported the situation in Sian Prefecture. It was then that he learned that Sian Prefecture had been occupied by enemy forces shortly after he departed from the capital.
The news of Sian Prefecture's fall, Xu Zhipeng's capture, and the defeat had been sent back to the capital half a month ago! Huo Qixiao heavily slammed the teacup in his hand onto the ground, his chest heaving with a suffocating feeling that lingered for a long time.
Emperor Rui had just issued a decree commending the Sian Prefecture general Xu Zhipeng. However, the messenger carrying the imperial decree had not yet returned to the capital when the messenger delivering the battle report encountered trouble midway. If he couldn't retake Sian Prefecture this time, he feared the Emperor might not believe his words.
Huo Qixiao closed his eyes heavily, his arm waving weakly, signaling others to leave the tent. He leaned back in his chair, his eyes vacant as he stared at the tent's ceiling, recalling what he had gained in these two lifetimes.
Suddenly! A slight bitterness and regret welled up in Huo Qixiao's heart.
If, if he had been given the chance to start over, and had not continued to target Huo Sizhun and his son, but instead relied on some of the things he foresaw to develop his own strength and live his own life, then he would be living a life of detached transcendence by now, wouldn't he? kanδん
Why? What exactly was it that made him insist on eliminating Huo Sizhun and Huo Qiyuan back then? Why could he not recall at all the reason for his unwavering determination to do so now?
Huo Qixiao raised his hand, clenching it into a fist, and gently pressed his throbbing temples. Lately, for some reason, his memory seemed to have worsened significantly. Especially for events that happened in the past, he couldn't remember many of them.
Could the prince leading the army in Sian Prefecture really be Huo Qiyuan? If it was him, then who had saved him? Could it really be the Ghost Hand Divine Doctor who treated him?
But that shouldn't be! If one was poisoned by Ice Xing Grass, even someone with profound internal energy could at best survive for about a month. Moreover, even if the poisoned person didn't die immediately, they would remain in a state of living death for a long time.
According to Wang Bingchang's report, over two years ago, he was ordered to go to Shihe County to release the Ghost Hand Divine Doctor Gongsun Zan. However, when he arrived, he found that the person had already been lost by the county magistrate, Elder Brother Chen.
But even so, it had been more than half a year since Huo Qiyuan was poisoned. It was impossible for Huo Qiyuan to have survived for such a long time.
This meant that the one who saved Huo Qiyuan was not the Ghost Hand Divine Doctor but someone else, or perhaps the enemy general was not Huo Qiyuan at all, but rather an old acquaintance or subordinate of his, causing trouble in his name!
Huo Qixiao thought for a very long time and felt that only this possibility was the highest. Or perhaps, deep down in his heart, he was unwilling to believe that Huo Qiyuan was still alive.
His head hurt! It felt like it was going to explode! There were simply too many variables in this life. The continuous and increasingly severe drought, the inexplicably appearing Huaxia Dynasty, the sudden foreign invasion, one event after another, all gave Huo Qixiao an unbearable headache.
The period he could foresee had long passed, and he was completely unaware of all the subsequent events. For some reason, or perhaps it was his imagination, Huo Qixiao always felt that even Wang Bingchang, whom he considered omnipotent in his previous life, seemed exceptionally foolish in this life.
A person who lived by the sword, after killing a family of dozens, became erratic after returning from Shihe County. He kept babbling about encountering ghosts and claiming that the Chen Dahe family was very strange.
