356 Return Immediately
Having finally obtained the medicinal herbs that Gu Qingxue wanted, Rong Zhan put them into the brocade box, held his long sword, and retreated rapidly.
“Serve the wine!” Rong Zhan gave the order, and the secret guards opened the wine bags at the same time.
On the other side, the mandala snakes that had lost their snake king seemed to have gone mad. They crawled out of the yellow sand in groups, opening their bloody mouths that hid their poisonous fangs. There were snakes stacked on top of each other like a huge wave of poisonous snakes, they pounced on Rong Zhan.
There were hundreds of poisonous snakes. Once their venom touched Rong Zhan, it would be enough to devour him!
However, Rong Zhan did not panic at all. He only took out a lighter and lit it up.
Crash!
The secret guards attacked at the same time. They threw the sulfur wine, which had an extremely high alcohol concentration, at the group of poisonous snakes.
The moment the poisonous snakes touched the sulfur wine, they began to struggle hard. They fell to the ground one by one, their bodies drenched in the wine.
Rong Zhan watched this scene with an expressionless face. He casually threw out a fire piston.
Boom!
With a loud bang, the fire piston ignited the sulfur wine. The fire immediately devoured all the mandala snakes.
The mandala snakes struggled painfully in the flames. They kept twisting their bodies, letting out a series of ear-piercing wails.
Rong Zhan turned around and left without looking back. “Return immediately. Advance at full speed.”
“Yes!” The secret guards replied in unison.
They had no idea that Rong Zhan had already obtained the last medicinal herb to treat the plague.
At Tie Family Village, Imperial Physician Qin’s room…
Prince Heng and Princess Liuying sat at the table and looked at Imperial Physician Qin who was lying weakly on the bed at the same time.
Imperial physician Qin’s face was even more swollen than it was during the day. His entire person revealed the words ‘miserable’. At this moment, he was lying weakly on the bed without moving, especially his pair of panda eyes, it was simply too eye-catching.
Prince Heng raised his hand and slapped the table in dissatisfaction. “How did it end up like this?”
“It must be Gu Qingxue! Otherwise, why would Imperial Physician Qin beat himself up!” Princess Liuying was so angry that she gritted her teeth at the mention of Gu Qingxue.
She had personally witnessed Gu Qingxue’s methods before, and she was very clear that that wicked woman had many ways to prank someone.
The two guards who had been following Imperial Physician Qin all this time and were responsible for protecting him were also there. They had their arms tied up in bandages, and the other one was limping. They were all in a miserable state.
The guard who had his arms tied up in bandages said carefully, “But Gu Qingxue didn’t do anything in front of us. She only attacked us, and didn’t hurt Imperial Physician Qin at all.”
Princess Liuying glared at him unhappily, her fierce eyes were full of killing intent. “How dare you talk back to us? I haven’t settled the score with you yet! How did you protect Imperial Physician Qin? You actually let him get beaten up like this!”
The limping guard was frightened by Princess Liuying’s harsh words, he lowered his head weakly and said, “We don’t know what happened. We really didn’t see Gu Qingxue attack Imperial Physician Qin. All the injuries on Imperial Physician Qin’s body were inflicted by himself…”
“Imperial Physician Qin is not a fool. Why did he beat himself up for no reason? This matter has something to do with Gu Qingxue.” Prince Heng clenched his fists in anger. “Gu Qingxue… I underestimated her.”
