Tang Dynasty: What! My mother is actually Empress Zhangsun

"Poisoned?"

Qin Huaiyu's face darkened when he heard this, and he looked at the military doctor beside him.

"Yes, in my opinion, General Chang was also poisoned."

"However, there is no way to find the source of the poison."

The military doctor said:"If you don't know the source of the poison, you can't detoxify it."

"Brother Li, can you tell what kind of poison General Chang has been poisoned by?"

Li Nian carefully felt the pulse, opened the other's palm, looked at the nails, and then turned back.

"There are no external injuries on his body, so it should not be a bite from a poisonous insect or snake."

He murmured, and then asked,"Do you know what General Chang ate today?"

The soldier at the side hurriedly said,"Reporting to the young general, General Chang has been eating the same as the rest of us recently, nothing special?"

Qin Huaiyu asked again,"Who is responsible for General Chang's diet?"

"It's me!"

The chief said,"General Chang's food is taken from the stove by me and then delivered to the tent."

"These meals are cooked from the same pot as ours, so there shouldn't be any problem."

After hearing this, Li Nian immediately became confused.

Chang Sheng's symptoms were obviously heavy metal poisoning.

He was just curious about how he could get poisoned in this era.

Unless this guy likes to eat something like Wu Shi San.

But even so, taking Wu Shi San for a long time will definitely make the body weak. At this point, he may not even be able to lift a knife. How could he suddenly get sick?

Li Nian frowned and looked at the remaining food on the table.

Suddenly, a dish of dried cured chicken made him suspicious.

"General, can the soldiers in the army also eat this cured chicken?"

""Ah?"

Gao Qiu was stunned, then said:"No, this cured chicken was specially sent by my father."

"General Chang likes to eat these dried game, so I sent some to General Chang."

"Did you eat it yourself?"

Gao Qiu shook his head.

"It's too late."

Li Nian stretched out his fingers, wiped the cured chicken, and took a sip.

Suddenly, his frown suddenly relaxed.

"Got it, the source of the poison is this cured chicken"

"Gao Qiu, it's you!"

Qin Huaiyu was furious when he heard this. He drew out the steel knife in his hand with a clang and shouted angrily:

"Major General, not the last general...How could I possibly harm General Chang!"

Chief Gao shouted hurriedly.

"The evidence is irrefutable, and you still want to deny it?"

Qin Huaiyu's face darkened, and he said,"Brother Li, are you telling the truth?"

Li Nian stood up, held down the suddenly-rising Qin Huaiyu, and said,"Brother Qin, this may be a misunderstanding!"

"Misunderstanding?"

Qin Huaiyu was puzzled and said,"Poisoning the generals is a serious crime, Brother Li, don't be soft-hearted."

Li Nian explained,"There is nothing wrong with the pheasant, the problem lies in the salt used for pickling."

"If I'm right, the salt used to pickle the pheasant is not sea salt, but mineral salt!"

Gao Qiu was stunned and nodded quickly.

"This young man said that my family is poor and cannot afford fine salt. Many families can only buy coarse salt for consumption."

"There are even poorer families who can't even afford coarse salt and can only eat mineral salt."

"There is a salt mine in our area, and some poor families would go there to pan for salt for their own consumption."

Qin Huaiyu said,"Mine salt is highly poisonous, how dare you eat it?"

Gao Qiu smiled bitterly and said,"There is no other way, salt is too expensive."

"Some people only eat a little bit, the symptoms are mild, and it won't cause death, so they can only bite the bullet and eat mineral salt."

After hearing this, Li Nian's eyes suddenly lit up and he said excitedly:"General Gao, where is your hometown?"

"Just outside Chang'an City, in Wugong County"

"So, is there a salt mine in Wugong County?"

Gao said,"Yes, it is on a mountain near my hometown."

"The salt mine was so large that villagers who could not afford salt went there to pick up salt rocks and boil salt for themselves."

"I'm rich!"

Upon hearing this news, Li Nian was so excited that he almost jumped up.

"What's wrong, Brother Li? Is there any way to detoxify?"

Seeing Li Nian's strange expression, Qin Huaiyu asked hurriedly.

"No problem!"

Li Nian said with a smile:"This poison is not difficult to cure."

""Huh!"

After hearing Li Nian's words, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Gao Qiu's eyes were red. A seven-foot-tall man was aggrieved like a child.

As he spoke, Li Nian took out a pen and paper, wrote a house and handed it to the old military doctor.

"Get all these herbs, the best quality ones!"

The old military doctor hurried down to prepare

"General Gao"

""Here!"

Seeing Li Nian shouting, Gao Qiu quickly straightened his body, wiped his red eyes and said

"Go find two big pots, big enough for you to take a bath in!"

"This may be a bit troublesome, please take care of it.

Although he didn't know what Li Nian meant, Gao Qiu didn't hesitate at all.

"As long as I can save General Chang, I will go through fire and water without hesitation!"

After saying that, he turned and left.

For a moment, only Qin Huaiyu and Li Nian were left in the empty tent.

"Thank you very much!"

Qin Huaiyu bowed to Li Nian and said sincerely

"Brother Qin, why are you so polite all of a sudden?"

Li Nian touched his nose and smiled.

"I was reckless just now. Chief Gao has followed Chang Sheng for many years, how could he poison Chang Sheng?"

Qin Huaiyu blamed himself and said,"It was an unintentional mistake. I treated him like this, he must be blaming himself."

"Thanks to Brother Li, you arranged for him to find medicinal herbs, which actually helped him regain his confidence."

"Gao!"

Li Nian laughed and said,"Brother Qin is not bad either. You have seen through my little tricks."

The two of them talked for a while, and then Gao Qiu came in and said,"Major General, Master Li, everything is ready."

""Okay!"

Nodding, Li Nian came outside the tent.

Two large pots had been set up on the open ground.

Below, flames were blazing.

Li Nian poured the herbs into one of the large pots and asked Gao Qiu to stir it constantly, while he went to the other small pot and boiled the medicine.

Soon, the herbs in the large pot were boiled, and the rich aroma of herbs floated everywhere.

After the medicine soup in the large pot became slightly milder, Li Nian ordered:

"General Gao, help General Chang out and put him in the cauldron"

"Yes!"

Gao Qiu stripped Chang Sheng of his clothes and put him in the pot. Soon, Chang Sheng was sweating profusely.

Qin Huaiyu, who was watching from the side, was terrified.

"Brother Li, what is this method you use?"

He has seen many famous doctors, but he has never seen this kind of treatment.

Li Nian squatted aside, boiling the medicine soup, and replied:"General Chang is suffering from heavy metal poisoning. The poison needs to be forced out of the body, and then the medicine soup should be used to wash the internal organs."

"The most important thing is that even if the poison is forced"

"My medicinal bath is to force out the poison in his body bit by bit."

As expected, after a while, Chang Sheng's pale face suddenly turned dark purple, and blue lines appeared on his skin. A fishy and foul substance covered his body.

"Quick, pry open his mouth and pour the medicine in!"

Seizing the right moment, Li Nian poured down the boiled medicine soup fiercely. After a cup of tea, Chang Sheng trembled all over, and then a mouthful of black blood spurted out.

""All right!"

Wiping the sweat off his forehead, Li Nian exhaled and said,"The poison is out!"

Gao Qiu at the side quickly took Chang Sheng out of the medicine soup, rinsed him, and put him on the bed.

Everyone gathered in front of the bed, looking forward to it.

After another stick of incense, Chang Sheng slowly opened his eyes and said in a hoarse voice,"I....What's wrong with me?"

"woke up!"

"General Chang is awake!"

Qin Huaiyu laughed heartily and patted Li Nian on the shoulder.

"Hahaha, Brother Li is indeed a miracle worker. Qin will definitely repay this kindness!"

Seeing this, Gao Qiu suddenly knelt down. A man over seven feet tall, with tears in his eyes,

"Mr. Li saved General Chang's life, which saved my life."

"From now on, my life belongs to you!"

Li Nian said quickly:"General Gao, please don't do this. A doctor is like a parent, and this is what I should do!"

"No way!"

Chief Gao said stubbornly with a red face:"Sir, please accept my respect!"

Li Nian had no choice but to accept it.

"General Chang hasn't recovered yet, so let's not disturb his rest."

"That's right."

Qin Huaiyu said with a smile:"Come here, arrange a banquet, I want to entertain Brother Li!"......
