The Fierce Farm Girl Has A Secret Space-Chapter 1479: Siege (3)

Gu Qingheng supported Yang Ruxin out of the room and sat down with her in the corridor of the courtyard, allowing her to lean on him.

The military doctor Bao didn’t dare to speak and could only stand by cautiously.

After resting with her eyes closed for about a quarter of an hour, Yang Ruxin finally recovered. "I’m fine now." It seemed her conscious force was still not strong enough, using it for slightly longer periods led to exhaustion. The frustrating part was that she didn’t know how to strengthen her training in conscious force and could only leave it to fate. fгeewebnovёl.com

"Would you like some water?" Gu Qingheng asked with a face full of concern.

Yang Ruxin shook her head and stood up: "I’m alright... The affliction that person carried was indeed not a plague, but his body was crawling with poisonous insects."

"Poisonous insects?" The military doctor Bao felt a tingle all over his body. He had heard of gu poison but had never come into contact with it. It was said to be unique to Miaojiang, where the Miao doctors were proficient in using those little bugs.

Yang Ruxin nodded: "That person bit someone else and transferred the poisonous insects. The insects would then rapidly breed inside the other person’s body, and upon close contact, they would be transferred to another person... This is just as terrifying as a plague."

"These poisonous insects..." Gu Qingheng furrowed his brows.

"The climate in Yuan Country is not suitable for cultivating poisonous insects," Yang Ruxin said with a smile, "so, there must be someone aiding them..." she paused, "don’t let the military doctors bring them soup or medicine anymore. Drinking it would only nourish the insects, making them breed even faster..."

"I will pass on the order," Gu Qingheng nodded, "but can you cure the gu poison in these people?"

Yang Ruxin shook her head: "I only have a superficial understanding of gu poison, which I learned when my master found out there was a Heart Poisonous Insect in me. So now, we need the assistance of Elder Tang."

Inside Governor’s Office City.

Wo Kuohai looked at the practitioner of Hei Shu: "How confident are you this time?"

Hei Shu knelt on one knee: "General, I guarantee we will capture Daxuan in one fell swoop this time. Those poisonous insects will make them lose without fighting..."

"You said it was foolproof last time too, so what happened? Ji Lin, that fool, was captured alive..." Wo Kuohai slammed the table, "If it fails again, our campaign to the south will come to an end. However, we will have provoked Daxuan, and if they continue their northern campaign, Yuan Country will face a crisis. Do you understand?"

"Your subordinate understands," Hei Shu quickly nodded, "Mr. Cang is a very powerful member of the Witch Clan from Miaojiang, no one can cure his gu poison..."

"I hope so," Wo Kuohai let out a sigh.

At this moment, a soldier came in to report: "The Daxuan army is attacking the city again."

"Go, tie up all the civilians in Governor’s Office City on the city walls," Wo Kuohai frowned slightly, "as long as they attack the city, throw people down, one by one..."

"Yes." The soldier took the order and ran off.

Outside the city gates, the Crown Prince was personally supervising the soldiers in their siege.

Governor’s Office City was indeed easy to defend but hard to attack, with cliffs on two sides and only two city gates to the south and north. No matter from which side they attacked, it was not easy, but no matter how difficult, it must be taken back, as it was the northern gateway of Daxuan.

Just as the soldiers set up the siege ladders, some people suddenly appeared on the city walls.

"Brother Crown Prince, look..." Qi Jingyi’s complexion changed, and he hurriedly pointed up at the parapet.
