King’s Landing: The Proud Empress

  Chapter 73 Wielding Troops to the Southern Barbarians

  In Cang Ling Hall, Jun Li frowned and looked at Royal Physician Luo below, with a calm and forceful voice, "What happened to cause such a panic?"

  The civil and military officials also turned their suspicious gazes to Doctor Luo, their eyes full of confusion.

  Who is this Royal Physician Luo? I used to think that she was just an ordinary imperial doctor, but when I saw her now, she was no longer an ordinary person with just this temperament. What's more, they didn't forget who brought those reinforcements.

  For a while, all kinds of searching eyes in the hall were all directed towards Doctor Luo.

  Ignoring those gazes, Doctor Luo said hurriedly, "Your Majesty, all the guards in the palace have been poisoned."

  Jun Li was startled and stood up.

   All poisoned? How is it possible, what about those soldiers and horses? Now they are placed in the palace, are they okay? If they have something to do, wouldn't Beirong be very dangerous now, with one wave of ups and downs and one wave after another.

  The ministers were not calm anymore, they all looked at Royal Physician Luo, as if confirming the authenticity of this matter.

   "Doctor Luo, what's going on? How could they all be poisoned?" Prime Minister Meng said.

  Master Yang also said aside, "Have you found out what poison is in it, and can you solve it?"

   "Are those soldiers and horses okay, have the two escaped men been caught?" General Shen asked.

   "..."

  Royal doctor Luo was stunned for a moment, watching the ministers talking to each other, no matter how calm she was, she couldn't help being a little bit surprised.

   "Enough!" Junli slapped the case, frightening the officials so that they didn't dare to speak anymore.

   "Doctor Luo, tell me what's going on?" She glanced around and saw that no one was talking, so she spoke slowly.

Doctor Luo cupped his hands, "Your Majesty, just now I led 20,000 people to search the harem, and took a break for a stick of incense in the middle. When I was about to lead people to continue the search, all the guards suddenly fell down, their faces turned blue. Breathing is almost non-existent. After checking it, it seems... that it was poisoned by the King of Hundred Gus."

   King of Gu?

   Not only Jun Li was puzzled, but even the civil and military officials below were also very puzzled about what the King of Hundred Gus was?

Without waiting for the courtiers to ask questions, Royal Physician Luo explained, "The king of a hundred Gu is the sacred object of the Nanman Kingdom. It is a Gu insect cultivated by the most poisonous thing in the world. It is said to be a Gu, but it is not. The main reason is that it is extremely poisonous, making people die when they touch it. But it does not have the ability of Gu insects. The reason why it is called the king of hundreds of Gu insects is because it can command Gu insects in the world."

  Order the world Gu worms?

   There were gasps one after another above the main hall. Although they had never seen Gu worms, they had heard of the power of Gu worms. A Gu worm can even scare people, but what if it is extremely poisonous and can command all the Gu worms in the world?

  Thinking of this, the officials could not help but shudder. It was hard for them to imagine what it would be like to be besieged by a large group of Gu insects.

   "His grandma, I know that Nanman Kingdom is not a good dog!" Master Ye couldn't help but swear.

  If it was normal, Prime Minister Meng and the others would definitely reprimand Master Ye, but at this time, I really agree with what Master Ye said in my heart.

   "A country of barbarians is a country of barbarians, and it will only use such indiscriminate tricks!"

   "..."

  Seeing what was said below, Jun Li rubbed his forehead and looked at Doctor Luo, "Is there a solution?"

  The main hall was silent for a moment, and countless pairs of eyes stared at Doctor Luo, waiting for her answer.

  Royal Physician Luo sighed lightly, "The only one who can detoxify the King of Hundred Gu's poison is Leng Xiang."

  Lengxiang...

   Junli raised his eyebrows, another unfamiliar word.

  And the ministers below are different, who in this world does not know the name of Leng Xiang! It can be said that as long as they are not children, almost everyone knows the name of Leng Xiang. After all, who in the world would not be tempted by Leng Xiang's heaven-defying miraculous effect!

   "Is it Leng Xiang from the Immortal Medicine Valley?" Master Ye said excitedly.

  Royal Physician Luo nodded lightly, and sighed helplessly in his heart. The Lengxiang refined by the masters of the Immortal Valley of the past generations of doctors will be used in their lifetime, and will never be left to future generations. And she, from studying medicine to now, has only refined two cold incenses, which is considered the best among the valley owners of the Immortal Valley of Medicine in the past, but of the two cold incenses, one was given to His Majesty, and one was left. I just gave it to Eunuch Duan, so where is the cold fragrance?

   Could it really be those soldiers who are going to die in Beirong?

   Doctor Luo sighed softly.

   "Yuyi Luo, if I'm right, what you just served to Eunuch Duan should be Lengxiang, right?" Prime Minister Meng raised his head suddenly, his voice affirmative.

  Everyone was surprised, Doctor Luo has Leng Xiang? Impossible, she is just an imperial doctor, how could she come up with the Lengxiang that makes everyone in the world crazy? But when he thought of the reinforcements brought by Doctor Luo just now, all doubts were swallowed in his mouth again.

  Since she can bring so many reinforcements to help, it is not impossible to have Leng Xiang.

  Thinking of this, all eyes in the hall were fixed on Doctor Luo, as if it was a ray of light in the darkness that could illuminate the way forward.

  Royal doctor Luo's voice was extremely weak, but it still reached everyone's ears, "It's Lengxiang, but it's the last one in my hand."

  The ministers were instantly disappointed. Without Leng Xiang, what would the guards do? There were a total of 20,000 people!

  Prime Minister Meng, Lord Yang and Lord Ye narrowed their eyes slightly, thinking about what Doctor Luo had just said.

  The last one in her hand?

  Could it be... She used to have more than one Lengxiang in her hand?

How is this possible! Several people shook their heads at the same time, not believing this guess at all.

  Even Yixian Valley may not have more than one Lengxiang, let alone a small imperial doctor!

  …Medical Fairy Valley

A thought flashed through several people's minds at the same time, and they immediately felt unbelievable, but seeing Luo Yuyi's aura of "immortal demeanor", they felt inexplicably that she was from the Immortal Medicine Valley, and it was very likely that she was the mysterious The unpredictable owner of the Valley of Immortal Medicine.

   "Aside from Lengxiang, is there no other way?" Shi Feng, who had been silent all this time, suddenly asked. This time she was not awarded, mainly because her official position was already big enough, and there was no higher position to be awarded. But it cannot be sealed, but it can be rewarded.

  Royal Physician Luo was silent, "There is another way, and that is to use the blood of the King of Gu to fight poison with poison."

   Fighting poison with fire? Jun Li thought about it, and there is indeed a method of fighting poison with poison, but it is too risky, and if one is not careful, anyone who tries poison will die.

   "Then what are you waiting for, let's hurry up and kill the two people who escaped, the King of Hundred Gus must be on them." Master Ye said urgently.

   "Your Majesty, I implore Your Majesty to allow you to lead troops to attack the Nanman in order to wash away the shame of Bei Rong today!" General Shen stood up and clasped his fists.

  As soon as the voice fell, the ministers knelt down one after another.

   "I implore Your Majesty to send troops to the Nanman to wash away the shame of Bei Rong today!"
