Chapter 50 Someone Wants to Harm Father
She mistakenly drew a "fossil symbol" instead of a "manifestation symbol".
Fortunately, she hadn't used talismans much before, so she was a bit rusty in using them and their power wasn't very great.
"I'll start over!" Zhou Ruo said, about to raise her sword finger.
Zhao Jinzhong rushed forward to block her, "Ruoruo, think it over again, and draw it after you've thought it through."
He was worried that Zhou Ruo might make another mistake and hurt Zhao Yucheng.
At this critical juncture, Zhao Yucheng cannot afford to fall.
"This time it can't be wrong, brother, I'm sure." Zhou Ruo said with a chuckle.
"Then...then be careful, don't hurt your father," Zhao Jinzhong instructed her.
Zhao Yucheng looked at his children, who were looking very serious. Although he had doubts, he chose to believe Zhou Ruo.
Zhou Ruo once again gathered her spiritual power at her fingertips, drew a manifestation talisman in the air towards Zhao Yucheng, and slapped him with her palm.
A beam of blue light shot out from Zhao Yucheng's body, and then an array appeared.
Of course, only Zhou Ruo could see all of this.
"I see it! The formation on Father's body has appeared!" Zhou Ruo said excitedly.
Zhao Jinzhong, who was standing next to her, quickly covered her mouth and exchanged a glance with Zhao Yucheng.
Zhao Yucheng understood his son's meaning and led the two children out of the training ground to a relatively open space.
Zhao Yucheng asked Zhou Ruo, "Ruo'er, you said your father also has a formation on him? What kind of formation is it?"
"The formation on Father's body is the same as the formation in the training ground," Zhou Ruo replied.
Zhao Yucheng was taken aback; he hadn't expected anyone to dare to do something to him.
Then he asked, "Ruo'er, tell your father, what's the use of that net you mentioned?"
Zhou Ruo said, "That net will gradually cause the people inside to lose their spiritual power, and eventually they will be unable to resist."
"Spiritual power?" Zhao Yucheng was unfamiliar with this term.
Zhao Jinzhong understood and explained, "Ruoruo probably refers to the soldiers' martial prowess or something similar."
"That seems to make sense." Zhou Ruo felt that her brother's explanation was closer to the truth, since mortals do not have spiritual power.
Zhao Yucheng thought for a moment and then said, "I didn't notice anything unusual about any of the soldiers."
Zhou Ruo sighed, looking disgusted, and said, "Father, the person who set up the formation was utterly incompetent!"
"What do you mean?"
"The net he laid can at most weaken the soldiers; it will take at least four hours to render them incapable of fighting."
Zhou Ruo's words made Zhao Yucheng fall into deep thought.
Zhao Jinzhong: "But why set up the formation on Father's body?"
Zhou Ruo: "It looks like the net that Daddy wove!"
Zhao Jinzhong thought about it for a while, then felt that something was not right.
He asked Zhou Ruo, "But we can't even see the net or the formation, so how could that person let others know that it was Father who set up the net?"
"Look at Father's chest," Zhou Ruo said, pointing to Zhao Yucheng's chest.
Zhao Yucheng and his son exchanged a glance, and Zhao Yucheng quickly pulled open the shirt in front of his chest.
A dark blue circular array pattern appeared on the skin of his chest.
Zhou Ruo saw it and smiled, saying, "This is the picture!"
She turned to Zhao Jinzhong and said, "Brother, there's a similar pattern in that spot in the drill ground too."
But in a moment of distraction, Zhou Ruo noticed out of the corner of her eye that something seemed to be covered under the pattern.
"There seems to be something hidden down there." Zhou Ruo peeked her little head into the pattern.
"Hey? Why is it still moving?"
Zhou Ruo cast another manifestation talisman, and then she saw what was hidden beneath the pattern: "Poison Gu!"
"What?!" The Zhao father and son stared wide-eyed at Zhou Ruo.
"Ruo Ruo, you need to be careful. You can't just say things like that." For the first time, Zhao Jinzhong doubted Zhou Ruo's judgment.
Is this person insane? Daring to use poison on a first-rank general of the current dynasty?
Zhou Ruo looked at it carefully again and confirmed it with her spiritual power. She was startled by what she saw.
"The poison in this Gu poison is the same as the poison that the doctors were given!"
"No wonder I couldn't find the source of the doctors' poisoning; it was hidden on Father's body, blocked by this formation!"
Zhou Ruo suddenly realized that the people in this mortal world were all more ruthless than the last.
At the General's residence, Aunt Song and Taoist Li had already made her think that mortals were bad enough, but she never imagined that there were people even worse than them.
Zhao Yucheng's expression was solemn. After hearing Zhou Ruo say that he had a poisonous Gu in his body, he did not say a word.
After a moment of silence, he suddenly sneered, "It seems that the king truly can't wait any longer..."
Zhao Jinzhong seemed somewhat impatient. "Ruoruo, what will happen to the poison in Father's body?"
"First, like the doctors, they lose strength and faint, and then they die from the poison."
After Zhou Ruo calmly finished speaking, she suddenly realized that this poison would kill her father, and she suddenly threw herself into Zhao Yucheng's arms.
"I don't want Daddy to die! Daddy can't die! Ahhh... Waaaaah..."
"Then hurry up and treat Father!" Zhao Jinzhong said, both anxious and helpless.
Zhou Ruo's crying gradually stopped. She stood up from Zhao Yucheng's arms, sniffed, and her face was covered with tears.
"Oh right, I forgot, I now have 40% of my spiritual power, enough to remove the poison from Father."
If Zhou Ruo's spiritual power is not restored to 40% and he does not activate the power of the spirit talisman, then he will have to find the Gu King to save Zhao Yucheng.
But now, she only needs to use talismans to deal with the poisonous insects.
Zhou Ruo wiped away her tears and said happily, "Hehe, I can save Daddy now!"
Zhao Yucheng, who had been silent all along, slowly squatted down in front of Zhou Ruo.
He gazed into Zhou Ruo's eyes, his tone heavy: "Ruo'er, Father trusts your judgment."
Since he brought Zhou Ruo back to the General's Mansion, every diagnosis and treatment of Zhou Ruo has been flawless.
This time, the incident happened to him, even though he couldn't see the formation or poison that Zhou Ruo mentioned.
However, he still chose to believe that what Zhou Ruo said was true.
The soldiers who have been brought back to life in the wounded soldiers' camp can attest that although Zhou Ruo is just a child, he is never frivolous when it comes to treating patients.
"Daddy, there are bad people trying to harm you, I won't allow it!" Zhou Ruo said earnestly, her little face puffed out.
"Ruo'er is right. Father wants to find out who the bad guy is, so we can't let him find out that the things on Father's body have been removed yet."
Zhao Yucheng was worried that if the array and poison on his body were removed now, the other party might discover it.
Once we alert the enemy, who knows when we'll be able to find any leverage against the prince, and how many more people will he have to harm again?
This time, he wanted to deliver a heavy blow to the king and make him rein in his greed.
But if the things on his body aren't removed, how long can he hold on?
He might die from the poison before the person is identified.
"Sure, Daddy!" Zhou Ruo said with a relaxed expression, "I can remove the formation and the poison without him noticing."
"What?!" Zhao Jinzhong could hardly believe his ears. "You're saying you can do it without being detected?"
Zhou Ruo nodded and said, "Yes! He can hide the poison, and I can also make sure he can't see any traces of my treatment."
