Feng Qingyi: "I signed up because I've learned martial arts."
"With those skinny arms and legs of yours, you don't look like you've learned anything," Shen Hanyue expressed his doubt.
She had already completed 30% of her interdiate martial arts course. For the past three months, barring special circumstances, she had been studying for two hours every day.
Her skills were not to be underestimated now, and she was confident about handling an ordinary college competition.
"You'll see when the ti cos. As for you, if you have ti during this period, you can go to the martial arts club and train with everyone else."
Shen Hanyue: "Qingyi, actually, I'm not as weak as you imagine. In high school, I even pinned down the boys in my class. It's not a big deal!"
Feng Qingyi didn't take Shen Hanyue's words seriously. After all, when she carried water to the dormitory on a daily basis, she was out of breath by the fourth floor.
As for the martial arts competition, if she really had to participate, it would be better to let her concede early to avoid getting hurt.
In the western part of Shengjing.
Qin Yuchuan and Na Muqi stood by the Qingxi River, looking at the clear stream water, lost in thought.
"General, all the doctors have examined it. There's no poison in the water. As for where the poison was administered, we still don't have any results."
"According to the doctors' observations, the process from poisoning and coma to death was very peaceful. This symptom is unheard of."
"Many people are preparing to leave and seek refuge. If we can't find an antidote soon, I'm afraid Shengjing will be in chaos."
"So people are even spreading rumors that the poison is contagious, and soon Shengjing will beco a ghost town."
Qin Yuchuan frowned, "Have the doctors observe the symptoms carefully. Send people to investigate what those who were poisoned ate or used before falling into a coma. We must find the source quickly."
"Also, take this token to the Five Elents dical Hall and say I need to find Fukang. Ask him to co to the west side of the city."
Na Muqi took the token, "Fukang? General, do you an that divine doctor?"
"The situation is serious now, we can only ask him to co out. But I don't know if he's in Tianqi now," Qin Yuchuan was rarely anxious.
All the doctors in Shengjing were already here. If he hadn't co, it could only an he wasn't in Shengjing. Hopefully, he hadn't gone out traveling, otherwise, there wouldn't be enough ti.
Those imperial physicians in the palace, although knowledgeable and well-versed in dical books, only knew how to follow the textbook.
As for those doctors in Shengjing's dical halls, they were even less skilled compared to the imperial physicians. If we had to rely on them, who knows when they would be able to develop an antidote.
Na Muqi: "I'll go to the Five Elents dical Hall right away to inquire about Divine Doctor Fukang's whereabouts."
Qin Yuchuan looked at the crowd in the distance. They all showed fear on their faces. In the past few days, more than a dozen people had died.
Few people can remain calm in the face of death. If it weren't for the guarding soldiers, these civilians might have already beco restless.
The imperial physicians had tried their best and only managed to develop a dicine to delay death within three days.
If an antidote isn't developed soon, the number of deaths will increase dramatically.
He had also sent people to nearby towns to find doctors, hoping to resolve this matter quickly.
But those doctors who claid to save the world and help people fled quickly when they heard they had to go to Shengjing, afraid of being contaminated by the troubles there.
Qin Yuchuan looked at the gurgling stream, trying to calm himself down.
It's human nature to seek benefits and avoid harm. He shouldn't harbor resentnt towards them.
Qin Yuchuan rarely had ti to take out his phone and look at his chat history with Feng Qingyi.
Since being sent to investigate the poisoning incident, they had exchanged only a few words each day.
She seed to be very good at detecting the other person's state from the text, neither disturbing nor asking too much, extrely understanding.
Now that he had ti, he should explain to her.
[Yuchuan: I've encountered so tricky issues recently that need to be dealt with, and I've neglected you. I'm sorry.]
[Yuchuan: After things are resolved, I'll take you to see the red maples in the suburbs.]
[Qingyi: Red maples? By the ti you're free, the leaves will probably have fallen.]
[Yuchuan: Then I'll take you to see the winter snow and cold plum blossoms.]
[Qingyi: Alright. Although I don't know what you're dealing with, since you said it's tricky, it must not be easy to resolve. Take care of yourself.]
[Yuchuan: Mm.]
[Yuchuan: The weather is getting cooler. Take care of yourself and don't get sick.]
[Qingyi: You too. I have to go to class now!]
[Yuchuan: Okay.]
After finishing the brief chat with Feng Qingyi, Yan Chi was already walking towards him.
"General, according to the coroner's examination, the poison that Qiu Tongfu was affected by has the sa symptoms as the poison affecting these civilians in the west of the city."
"In the prison cell, apart from the iron chains and walls, the only thing he could co into contact with was the food."
"The food in the prison cells is all the sa, but only he was poisoned. It seems soone must have added sothing to his food."
Qin Yuchuan noticed Yan Chi's ntion of food, "Check the food of every household here."
If the poison was in the food, logically everyone in a family should be poisoned, but the current situation is not like this.
Most of those poisoned are young and strong people, while the elderly are rarely poisoned. Why is this?
"I will send people to investigate right away," Yan Chi responded.
In Shengjing, on Changning Street.
At the Five Elents dical Hall, Na Muqi, holding Qin Yuchuan's token, found the only manager in the hall.
"I'm here to find Divine Doctor Fukang! Do you know where he is?"
The manager looked at the jade pendant in Na Muqi's hand, "The young master is traveling around. At this mont, I don't know where he is."
"But since you've co with the jade pendant, I will send soone to inform the young master. May I ask why you're looking for him?"
Na Muqi: "It's about the matter in the west of the city."
"You were sent by General Qin!" The manager said, "Sir, please return. I will send a ssage to the young master, but as for when he'll return, I don't know."
Na Muqi bowed to the manager, "Thank you. If Divine Doctor Fukang returns, please ask him to go to the west of the city. We would be extrely grateful."
After Na Muqi left, the manager of the Five Elents dical Hall hurriedly wrote a letter and sent soone to find Fukang as fast as possible.
Fukang was a disciple of the master of Divine Doctors Valley, and his abilities surpassed those of his teacher. At the age of thirty, he was already renowned throughout the world.
People seeking his dical treatnt were as nurous as fish crossing a river, but he was an extrely willful person.
He was only willing to treat those he felt a connection with, regardless of money or social status.
Once, soone offered ten thousand taels of gold for his consultation, which he disdained. Yet, there were also those who couldn't offer even one tael of silver, whom he still went to treat.
Even the manager of the Five Elents dical Hall, who was said to be Fukang's most trusted person, couldn't quite figure out the ways of this divine doctor.
Besides his superb dical skills, Fukang was also highly proficient in the use of poisons. This was a major reason why he could be so willful and flamboyant without anyone daring to cross him.
Offending a physician, especially one who excelled in both dicine and poisons, could lead to an inadvertent death at his hands. No one would be willing to take such a risk.
