General, your wife has gone to deliver another calf for your horse.

Chapter 635 Cleverly Curing the Gu Poison
Xiao Yuanshan is too troublesome.

If this problem isn't resolved, there won't be a single day of peace in the future.

We really need to take advantage of the fact that the Emperor can still hold on.

Jiang Nuanzhi knew about the Emperor's health condition; he wouldn't live past this month at most. If the Emperor fell ill then, wouldn't Xiao Yuanshan be able to control everything?

Lost in thought, Jiang Nuanzhi picked up some snacks and ate half a plate. She pinched the roll of fat around her stomach and sighed to herself. With all this recent upheaval, eating irregularly and indulging in so many sweets, she had really gained weight. She felt like her face had gotten a whole size bigger.

She secretly pondered what was happening and decided to take good care of her health so that she wouldn't gain too much weight again and then have to lose it again.

She washed the crumbs off her hands and then got up to go to the operating room that Lin Chun had prepared for her.

Lu Shizhu and Dongcang Linchun were both waiting here. The group moved very quickly, and even Zhongbo was now lying here peacefully.

“Uncle Zhong is delirious at night. Sister Nuan, we’ve already given him the anesthetic powder. He’s sleeping soundly now. We can begin.”

Lu Shizhu, wearing specially made gloves, spoke very seriously.

Now that this kid has been by Jiang Nuanzhi's side for a long time, his medical skills have improved a lot, and his temperament has also settled down. He has grown a lot.

Jiang Nuanzhi nodded, calmed her breathing, washed her hands again, then put on gloves and nodded to Lin Chun beside her.

Lin Chun quickly took out the bottle of Xiao Yuanshan's blood from her pocket and put the powder into it. The next second, a strange, bloody smell spread through the space.

Jiang Nuanzhi seized the opportunity and made a cut on Zhongbo's elbow artery.

The candlelight illuminated the gray curtains, and on the sickbed, Zhongbo lay with his eyes closed and his lips bluish-white.

While he was in a coma, his body convulsed like a marionette.

His fingers suddenly curled into claws, his nails digging into his palms, and a bluish line suddenly bulged on the side of his neck, winding from his collarbone to behind his ear, wriggling and trembling under his skin as if tiny insects were crawling.

Jiang Nuanzhi seemed to breathe a sigh of relief upon seeing this situation. Sure enough, it worked!

Watching the western insect seem to move little by little towards the injured body, Jiang Nuanzhi held her breath and prepared the gu to contain the insect.

We're just waiting for the right moment to seize it in one fell swoop.

Actually, this method was inspired by the old man who had previously cured Xiao Yuanshan of his curse.

If such powerful Gu worms can be drawn out, there's no reason why Zhongbo and his people can't.

Even the worst kind of "Gu" is just an insect, buried in various parts of the body. As long as the insect is removed through surgery, the problem can be solved.

However, planting a Gu in the heart or brain carries too great a risk.

If we use Xiao Yuanshan's blood to lure them out, and then wipe them out one by one, it will be much faster.

In fact, Uncle Zhong's surgery was performed incredibly quickly.

Before long, Jiang Nuanzhi quickly captured the Gu worm and gave it to Lü Shizhu.

Zhongbo had three Gu worms in his body, hidden in his heart and the left and right sides of his brain. It didn't take long for them to form.

Next came Yongbo, Acheng, Daxi, Lianlu, and Xiaowu. A group of more than twenty people, and the Gu worms were all removed one by one.

In just over an hour, everyone had driven away the Gu worms.

"Madam, you... you've saved all the brothers who were poisoned by the curse!"

Dongzang watched as the servants saw off the people who had undergone surgery, and his eyes reddened. "Could it be that my brother can recover too? If we bring him back, he'll get better quickly too?"

Upon hearing this, even the usually composed Lin Chun suddenly looked at Jiang Nuanzhi.

Jiang Nuanzhi met their eyes with her lips, her lips moved for a while before she said, "Let's wait for the right opportunity, I will do my best to try."

Dongzang jumped up with joy.

"Haha, that scoundrel Xiao Yuanshan was still thinking of using these soldiers to threaten the general. Now we are no longer under his control. Madam, I will tell the general about this now!"

As Dongzang spoke, he whistled and went out to look for lightning.

Lü Shizhu had no feelings for these people. At this moment, he was stroking his chin and looking at the dozen or so Gu worms placed in front of him: "These little things are so powerful? Sister Nuan, can I have two of them so I can study them?"

Jiang Nuan waved her hand: "I don't have time to manage it. You can take care of it all. Just make sure it doesn't die."

"Hey! I got a booklet about Gu poison from the old man, I'll take a look when I get back."

Then he called two servants to help him carry the person, and they disappeared in a flash.

Seeing that everyone had left, Lin Chun looked at Jiang Nuanzhi with red eyes, and after a long while, she finally spoke: "Master, is Awang not coming back?"

Jiang Nuanzhi was suddenly startled and looked towards Lin Chun.

"He died protecting me back then. I watched him being riddled with arrows right in front of me. In his last glance, he was riddled with wounds; there was no way he could survive."

Lin Chun's voice trembled, and the handkerchief in her hand was wrung out into many wrinkles.

Jiang Nuan sighed inwardly, stepped forward, and finally couldn't help but put her arm around Lin Chun's shoulder.

Even the most capable girl has thin shoulders, so thin that it's almost heartbreaking.

Awang was indeed different from the others. Although some of them were missing limbs, they were all alive. They only lost their minds when the Gu worms acted up. But she couldn't detect the slightest bit of life in Awang. Her fear was that Awang might already be gone, and the Gu worms were simply controlling his body.
Xiao Yuanshan had brought everyone back with him, but he kept Awang by himself. Clearly, Xiao Yuanshan might be up to no good.

However, faced with Lin Chun like this, Jiang Nuanzhi didn't know what to say, or perhaps she didn't need to say anything.

After sitting for a long time, Linchun rubbed her eyes and forced a smile, saying, "Don't worry, Madam, Linchun isn't that fragile. I just have one request."

"You said."

“Even if it’s a corpse, I want to take him home. I think if Awang were still alive, he would be very sad to know that he is now being driven by Xiao Yuanshan.”

Jiang Nuanzhi tidied Lin Chun's messy hair and nodded gently: "Okay, even if it's a corpse, we have to take him home."

Lin Chun looked at her master in front of her, and her nose suddenly felt sore.

Amidst the sadness, I also felt somewhat dazed.

The master seems to be a little different.

She used to be like a young girl, insightful and full of spirit, but now, her mistress seemed to possess an unusual composure. She had only ever seen such qualities in decisive and ruthless generals, but now, she couldn't help but see them in her mistress, and even felt that she possessed a quality that surpassed that of generals.

It seemed that as long as her master was around, her heart would settle down. There was nothing she couldn't handle.

As they were talking, they pushed open the door and went out.

Night enveloped the city in a thick darkness, and just then, a war song suddenly drifted from the distant outskirts of the military camp. It was not a soft, fragmented sound, but a deep, resonant wave of sound, carrying the weight of wind, sand, and the blood of war, as if it were rolling in from a battlefield a thousand miles away.
