Chapter 64: The Supreme Stock God Qingdou Saves People

  "Has a general been poisoned?" Zhou Hao was also extremely surprised, and in an instant, many things flashed through his mind. Seeing Zhao Yuqin and the two military officers so tense, that general must not be something ordinary like food poisoning. Moreover, high-ranking generals usually have someone to take care of their food, so it's unlikely to happen. Therefore, the general mentioned by Zhao Yuqin was very likely to have been poisoned by someone.

  And they came all the way here to find Xiao Nanyue... Zhou Hao's face changed, "Could it be that the poison in that general..."

  Zhao Yuqin nodded, "Yes, the poison that general was poisoned with has symptoms very similar to what Mr. Xiao said two days ago, 'Yan Wang Xiao'. I also remembered what my brother told me about Mr. Xiao." She turned her head to look at Xiao Nan Yue, "Mr. Xiao, can you come with us? The situation of that general is not good now."

  Xiao Nanyue originally had a mind to heal the world, and now hearing that there was a military leader who had been poisoned by "Yan Wang Xiao", he naturally couldn't decline. He said to Xiao Jiming: "Jiming, immediately pack up the medicine box, we're going with Miss Zhao!"

  "Sister, I'll go with you too." Zhou Hao said.

  Zhao Yuqin nodded in agreement, and the group quickly went downstairs. Downstairs, apart from Zhao Yuqin's Mercedes-Benz, there was also a black Jeep parked, which should belong to those two military officers.

  Zhou Hao and Xiao Jiming got into Zhao Yuqin's Mercedes-Benz, followed closely by the two military officers' car. In the car, Zhao Yuqin told Zhou Hao and others about the situation she knew: "The poisoned general is named Lu Zhenwu, who is currently a major general and came to Guangdong half a year ago to handle military affairs with my brother."

  "Lu Zhenwu?" Zhou Hao was slightly surprised in his heart, because according to his memory before rebirth, Lu Zhenwu was the first commander of the PLA garrison in Hong Kong, known as "Confucian General" by people from both Guangdong and Hong Kong, and also highly respected in the military. Now that it's just before Hong Kong's return, and Hong Kong is closely connected to Guangdong, it makes sense for him to come discuss taking over Hong Kong's military affairs with Zhao Dingzhou. However, Zhou Hao had never heard of Lu Zhenwu being poisoned, and even if such a thing really happened in his past life, it would be top-secret and impossible for ordinary people to know.

  "General Lu liked to drink tea, and the people under him would occasionally send him some tea leaves." Zhao Yuqin continued: "The problem lies in these tea leaves. Just today, a senior colonel under General Lu's command sent him some bitter nail tea from Guangxi, but General Lu fainted with a purple face after drinking it for less than two minutes."

  Upon hearing this, Xiao Nanyue and Zhou Hao exchanged a glance. Earlier, when they heard that Lu Zhenwu had been afflicted with "Yan Wang's Smile", they were already suspecting whether it was someone from the Yang family who was behind it. Now, upon learning that the bitter tea was brought from Guangxi, their suspicion deepened.

  Zhou Hao asked Zhao Yuqin: "Have you ever investigated that big school?"

  Zhao Yuqin nodded, "We've already investigated, but that major general was brought in by General Lu when he first enlisted, and his family is clean and his thinking is correct, it's impossible for him to do something like this. Besides, no one would be so stupid as to poison their own subordinates. So the focus of the investigation within the troops is on those tea leaves. The major general said that those tea leaves were bought by someone he knew in Guangxi when he was on a mission there. That person was an acquaintance from his past, and they only had a normal relationship. We've already sent people to find that merchant, but we haven't received any news yet."

  "We'd better hurry, the toxicity of 'Yan Wang Xiao' is very strong and can severely damage human organs in a short period. The person I met before was barely able to suppress it because he had good internal energy." Xiang Nan Yue said with a serious expression.

  Zhao Yuqin also nodded in agreement, "That's right, we've already tried using antibiotics and antidotes on General Lu before, but they didn't have much effect. However, there are three military officers in the military region who are skilled in qigong, and together they can suppress the severe poison inside General Lu's body for now."

  Time was of the essence, and soon a group of people entered the Guangzhou Military Region Headquarters base located in the city of Guangzhou. Zhou Hao wasn't clear about how the headquarters had been guarded before, but now he felt a kind of sternness, even Zhao Yuqin's car, which often came and went from here, had to undergo strict checks by the gate guards before being allowed to enter.

  After getting off the bus, Zhou Hao and others followed Zhao Yuqin to a medical facility in the base. The place was heavily guarded, with each person carrying live ammunition.

  As he walked into the room, Zhou Hao saw Zhao Dingzhou and a middle-aged man lying on the hospital bed. The middle-aged man was still wearing his military uniform, but his face had turned purple and his eyes were tightly closed. Three people were pressing down on his shoulders and chest to give him acupuncture, apparently the qigong expert Zhao Yuzhen had mentioned.

  "Xiao Hao is here too?" Zhao Dingzhou nodded slightly to Zhou Hao, then looked at Xiao Nan and his son, "These two are Xiao Dafu, please come quickly to see the situation of General Lu." After that, he welcomed Xiao Nan and Xiao Jiming in.

  Xiao Nanyue's legs had not healed, so Xiao Jiming still carried him on his back to Lu Zhenwu's bedside. Xiao Jiming put Xiao Nanyue in the chair and Xiao Nanyue immediately began to take Lu Zhenwu's pulse.

  During the pulse-taking process, Xiao Nanyue's face became increasingly solemn. "The situation is not good, the highly toxic substance has penetrated deep into the body." He looked up at Zhao Dingzhou and said: "The dose of 'Yan Wang Xiao' that General Lu took was very large, it can be said that it was a fatal blow, and because you didn't recognize this toxin at first and didn't immediately find someone to use true energy to suppress it, but instead used antibiotics and antidotes, which delayed the timing."

  Zhao Dingzhou heard this and became very nervous, hastily asking: "What should we do then?"

  "If it were just us father and son, plus these three." He glanced at the three officers who were infusing true energy into Lu Zhenwu. "If it were just us few people, it would be extremely difficult to save General Lu."

  Everyone who heard Xiao Nan Yue's words couldn't help but change their expressions, but then they heard Xiao Nan Yue say: "Fortunately, little Shidi also followed."

  "Little Shidi?" Zhao Dingzhou still didn't know who he was referring to.

  "It's Zhou Hao." Xiao Nanyue pointed to Zhou Hao, "Little Shidi's internal strength is extremely high, much higher than the sum of their three. With him here, we can stop the spread of toxins in General Lu's body and gain enough time for our rescue efforts."

  Zhao Dingzhou also knew that Zhou Hao was skilled in martial arts, but he didn't expect Xiao Nanyue to praise him so highly. The three people who infused true energy into Lu Zhenwu were all internal family masters who had practiced qigong for decades and were unbeatable in the military district. However, Xiao Nanyue said that even if their internal strength was combined, it still couldn't compare to Zhou Hao's, which was really hard to believe.

  Those three school-level officers were also unhappy with Zhou Hao, this young punk, but now that Zhao Dingzhou and others who are military leaders are present, they didn't dare to express any opinions.

  "Come, young brother, come and help General Lu suppress the severe poison in his body. You know the human body's meridians and acupoints, it should be easy to find where the toxin is." Xiao Nanyue said.

  "Mm." Zhou Hao nodded and came to the bedside, extending his right hand to press against Lu Zhenwu's forehead. The officer who was pressing on Lu Zhenwu's chest looked at Zhou Hao and said, "Be careful."

  Zhou Hao hummed and slowly poured his true energy into Lu Zhenwu's body, following the meridians in his body to circulate.

  The three of them immediately felt a vast and powerful aura surging forth, and before they could even react, their bodies shook violently as their hands simultaneously left Lu Zhenwu's body, severing the flow of aura. The three of them looked at each other in astonishment, then stared blankly at Zhou Hao, unable to believe that he had single-handedly shaken off all three of them with his internal power.

  On the other hand, Xiao Nanyue calmly took out a few silver needles and after undoing Lu Zhenwu's upper military uniform, he stabbed the silver needles into several acupoints on his chest.

  Lu Zhenwu, who was in a coma, furrowed his brow. Xiao Nanyue asked Zhou Hao at this time: "Younger martial brother, have you found where the toxin is?"

  "It's been found in the lungs, liver and pancreas," said Zhou Hao.

  "Alright, now gather all the toxins in your lungs." Xiao Nanyue said to Xiao Jiming at the same time: "Jiming, where's the medicine?"

  Xiao Jiming hastily took out a small porcelain bottle from the medicine box, poured out three black pills. Xiao Nanyue also told Zhao Dingzhou: "Dissolve these pills in saline solution and give General Lu an intravenous drip."

  A doctor present furrowed his brow, "Is this really alright?"

  Xiao Nanyue didn't even glance at him, "General Lu's body is very weak, and the simple oral medication won't have time to absorb the medicinal properties, so it must be injected directly. These medicine pills are refined, soluble in both water and blood, hurry up."

  "Do as Dr. Xiao says." Zhao Dingzhou also spoke up, and the doctor had no choice but to hurry off to carry out his orders.

  Before long, the doctor came back with a bottle of light gray saline and injected it into Lu Zhenwu's arm. In no time, the eerie deep purple color on Lu Zhenwu's face faded significantly, and his breathing also became smoother, allowing everyone present to breathe a sigh of relief.

  "Little brother, are the toxins concentrated in the lungs?" Xiao Nan asked, seeing Zhou Hao nodding, he took out a thicker silver needle and stabbed it into Lu Zhenwu's neck, "Good, now drive the toxins to the carotid artery."

  Zhou Hao did as he was told, and Xiao Nanyue simultaneously instructed Xiao Jiming to use a small bottle to connect to the other end of the silver needle on Lu Zhenwu's neck. Suddenly, a stream of deep black blood flowed out from that segment of the silver needle and fell into the bottle.

  "These are just poisonous blood, let it go and there's no big deal." Xiao Nanyue wiped the sweat from his forehead.

  Until Lu Zhenwu's blood turned bright red, Xiao Nanyue let Zhou Hao stop operating, and at this time, Lu Zhenwu's face had returned to normal, only a little pale due to the exhaustion.

  "It's nothing serious, just rest for a few days and you'll be fine." Xiao Nanyue pointed to the bottle of blood in Xiao Jiming's hand, "The blood contains the deadly poison 'Yan Wang Xiao', take it back and research it, I'll give you the antidote formula, and you should be able to produce an antidote soon."
