Chapter 192: Xiyun War
Chapter 192: Xiyun War
Helian Rong retreated back to the camp and struggled to get back to his tent. His personal guard helped him to the bed and quickly called in a military doctor to take Helian Rong's pulse. The military doctor carefully stepped forward to take Helian Rong's pulse, and the more he did, the tighter his brows frowned. Helian Rong's personal guard anxiously asked, "Doctor Liang, how is the Crown Prince?"
Doctor Liang put down his pulse-taking hand and said slowly, "Your Highness the Crown Prince has internal injuries and needs to rest for at least half a month. I will prescribe some medicine for the internal injuries!" Doctor Liang wrote the prescription and went to get the medicine, then boiled it for Helian Rong! Half an hour later, Doctor Liang brought the boiled medicine soup! "Your Highness the Crown Prince, take the medicine!"
Helian Rong took the bowl and drank it all. His face was pale at this moment! Thinking of Su Qing's resolute look, his heart ached. After all, he could not get the love he wanted! His thoughts drifted far away, and the time when he met Su Qing in his first life emerged in his mind. At that time, she was the goddess of flowers in the flower world, commanding all the flowers! Once when she was in charge of flowers, he happened to pass by and saw her. From then on, he fell in love with her at first sight and could not extricate himself! He always looked for opportunities to get close to her, but she was always distant! He was the Demon Lord of the Demon World. As long as he wanted, there would be a lot of women throwing themselves at him! But she was the only one in his heart! For her, he used forbidden techniques to follow her reincarnation with the memories of every life! But he still could not win her heart! In the tenth life, he would be reduced to ashes!
Thinking of this, his heart ached!
At the Dafeng border military camp, Su Qing was teaching Murong Ye how to use the cannon. "Brother Ye, why don't we attack the Xiyun military camp tonight! That bastard prince Helian Rong has internal injuries! Why not take advantage of his illness and kill him!"
"Give it a day or two! I'll make some arrangements!"
"OK then!"
After Murong Ye learned how to use the cannon, he went to deploy it!
Su Qing returned to the tent and chatted with the masters, "Master, what are you doing?"
"My dear disciple, we are playing chess!"
"Oh!"
At the Su family home in Sujia Village, Mrs. Wang was furious and worried the next day when she heard from Doctor Lu and Doctor Chen that her granddaughter was going on a long trip! She was furious that she had left without a word, and she was also worried that she might run into danger while away! "Old man, my granddaughter is growing up and has become more independent. She left without a word, which made me, an old woman, so worried!"
"Old lady, don't worry, my dear granddaughter will be fine!"
"Old man, if you say you're not worried, then I'm not worried anymore. This girl is really getting more and more lawless! A few days ago, a group of men in black surrounded her and beat her up. Just thinking about it makes me terrified!"
"Yeah, just thinking about that day is thrilling!"
"Okay, that's enough! Let's talk about it when my granddaughter comes back!"
Su Qing kept sneezing in the border military camp! "My dear disciple, what's wrong with you? Have you caught a cold?"
"It's okay, Master! I'm in good health! I guess it's my grandparents who are worried about me! I didn't tell them I was going out this time! I guess the old man and the old lady are blaming me at home!"
"Disciple, you were wrong not to tell your grandparents about your trip! They must be worried about you!"
"Yes, Master! I was wrong! I was afraid to tell them, or they wouldn't let me go out! Last time the men in black surrounded me, my grandparents must have been terrified!"
"They must have been scared by that scene! They have never seen such a bloody scene!" Doctor Yue was talking to Su Qing while playing chess with Old Man Meng!
"Hey, Old Man Yue, I win!"
"This round doesn't count. I was talking to my good disciple, and it affected my performance!"
“I won’t play chess with you anymore. Can my dear disciple prepare some delicious food today?
"sure!"
Su Qing went to the kitchen and prepared to make buns for everyone! Su Qing and the cooks kneaded the dough and made a lot of dough! Then they chopped the meat and cabbage! They made cabbage and meat buns! It took them nearly three hours to make enough for the soldiers! Su Qing brought some buns to the tent! "Disciple, it's not easy for me to eat this meal you made. I'm so hungry!" said Old Man Meng!
"Hey! The main thing is that I've done too much. I want to improve the food for the soldiers!"
"Disciple, don't listen to him. It's good enough to have something to eat. It's still troublesome!"
Today, the soldiers in the barracks enjoyed the long-awaited meat buns, and everyone was delighted! "Today's meat buns are so delicious! Better than the ones you buy! The skin is thin and the filling is huge! One bite is so delicious! I almost swallowed my tongue!"
The soldiers chatted with each other, and everyone was very satisfied with the meal!
At the hour of You, there was a sudden noise in the military camp, and Su Qing hurried out of the tent to see what was going on.
At this time, Ying Yi suddenly came to Su Qing and said, "Princess, the prince wants you to go to the tents of the wounded over there!"
"what happened?"
"Some soldiers are showing symptoms of diarrhea!"
"What? Take me to see it!"
Su Qing and Yingyi hurried to the wounded camp! Many soldiers were holding their stomachs with painful expressions on their faces! They couldn't even straighten their backs due to the stomach pain! Su Qing hurried forward to check! He took a soldier's hand and took his pulse. Su Qing's brows were furrowed so much that he could pinch a fly to death! "Princess, what's going on?"
"poisoned!"
"Yingyi, go and take a look at the water in the tank." Su Qing handed him a silver needle!
Yingyi quickly took the silver needle and went to the kitchen! He used the silver needle to test the water, and it was indeed poisonous!
Yingyi quickly came back and told Su Qing, "Princess, the water in the water tank is indeed poisonous!" Su Qing took out a bottle of detoxification pills and gave them to Yingyi, "Put these detoxification pills in the water tank to detoxify!"
"Yes, Princess!" Ying took the detoxification pill and hurried to the kitchen!
Su Qing gave each poisoned soldier an antidote pill, and after taking the pills, they were all healed within a quarter of an hour!
“It’s a miracle drug!”
"Yingyi, take someone out to check where the water in the tank comes from!"
"It's the princess!"
After reporting to the prince, Yingyi went to check the water source! There was a long river at the junction of Dafeng and Xiyun. Many fish and shrimp in the river were dead, floating on the surface with their stomachs turned upside down! Yingyi tested it with a silver needle, and the river water was indeed poisonous!
Ying Si hurried back to report to Murong Ye and Su Qing, "Prince, Princess, the river on our border has indeed been poisoned! Many fish and shrimp are dead and floating on the water!"
"These fish and shrimp cannot be eaten!"
Su Qing took out a lot of bottles of detoxification pills and handed them to Ying Yi, "Pour these detoxification pills into the river, pouring some at intervals!"
"Yes, Princess!" Yingyi took many porcelain bottles and left!
"Brother Ye, now we have to solve the problem of water source! No, let's dig a well ourselves!"
"Of course we can, but we have no experience in digging wells!"
"I can!"
So Su Qing took some soldiers and began to observe the terrain. Low-lying areas are often where groundwater gathers, because the underground rock is relatively soft and easily accumulates water. Observe the low-lying areas between hills. The underground rock in these places is soft and easily accumulates water.
Look for unique terrain: For example, in a "Cuoji" area surrounded by mountains on three sides, groundwater tends to flow toward the mouth of the culvert. Therefore, digging a well near the mouth of the culvert yields more water. If there's a ravine between two mountains and water flows in the ravine, water sources are likely to be found in the rock formations on both sides of the lower reaches of the valley. Springs may flow where two gullies intersect, providing a more reliable source for wells. Wells are more likely to be found on flat terrain below mountain ridges. Wells are also more likely to be found on flat terrain below a solitary mountain sandwiched between two mountains.
Using plants to identify the area: Observe surface plants, such as mugwort and willow trees. Mugwort roots are sensitive to water sources. If mugwort is abundant in an area, there's a high likelihood of underground water. Willow trees typically grow near riverbanks and thrive near water. If they grow inland, it indicates sufficient groundwater.
Use geophysical techniques: Geophysical techniques are used to locate fault zones and geological structures. Fault zones are common geological structures that may harbor groundwater. Geophysical techniques can help determine the location and depth of groundwater.
Alternatively, the "air test" and "pan test" methods are commonly used to determine groundwater levels. The air test involves placing a bowl upside down on the ground. The presence of mist or water droplets the next day indicates abundant groundwater. The pan test involves digging a pit at the target location and placing a tin basin next to it. The presence of water droplets the next day indicates the presence of groundwater.
Through everyone's unremitting efforts, we finally found a place with underground water, where we could dig a well, and which was closest to the military camp!
Su Qing and the soldiers brought the tools for digging a well, and everyone began to take turns digging a well!
