Chapter 370 The antidote was finally prepared successfully
At this moment, a barely perceptible hint of pride flashed across Jun Feimo's face. He raised the corners of his mouth slightly and said with a slightly proud tone, "Xi'er is indeed very unusual." Then, he turned to look at Hua Qianyi, with a hint of curiosity in his eyes, and asked softly, "Have you seen it from Master?"
Hua Qianyi's expression suddenly became solemn. He took a deep breath, nodded slowly, then sighed heavily and said, "Alas, Senior Brother, we actually have an uncle who we have never met."
Jun Feimo frowned slightly, obviously very surprised by the news. He stared at Hua Qianyi closely, with a hint of doubt in his tone, and asked: "Uncle Master? Why have you never heard Master mention it?"
"That ancient book records almost all kinds of poisons. Master was afraid that it would get out and be obtained by someone with ulterior motives, which would bring disaster to the people, so he prepared to destroy it. But it was snatched away by a man in black robe. When Master was fighting with that man, the ancient book was torn in half by each of them." Hua Qianyi's voice was low and powerful, and every word was like a hammer hitting Jun Feimo's heart.
Jun Feimo frowned even more tightly, and a solemn look flashed in his eyes. "Who are you talking about who fought with Master?" His voice was low and hurried, and he obviously realized the seriousness of the situation.
Hua Qianyi nodded slightly, his eyes flashing with determination: "Master suspected that it was the master's uncle whom we had never seen before, but Master was drunk that day and spoke incoherently. The master's uncle's martial arts was stronger than Master's. The two of them fought that day, and that person's martial arts did not seem to be Master's fellow disciples, so Master was not sure, but Master said that he had never seen the master's uncle that time."
Jun Feimo narrowed his eyes again, his master's daily words and deeds flashed quickly through his mind, "Why haven't I heard master mention it?" There was a hint of doubt and confusion in his voice.
Hua Qianyi shook his head slowly, with a complicated expression on his face, as if he was lost in memories. "You have been learning martial arts from your master since you were young. After you finished your studies, you rarely stayed in the Medicine Valley, so you didn't know about these past events. It was only when the master got drunk and talked about those old things that I learned that we had an uncle. At that time, I accidentally saw the half of the ancient book in the master's hand, and I couldn't help but feel a little curious. Later, the master entrusted the Medicine Valley to me, and he traveled around and rarely came back. In fact, the master has been looking for the uncle's whereabouts, fearing that he would do something wrong with the half of the ancient book."
Jun Feimo frowned tightly, and there was a thoughtful look in the depths of his eyes, like a deep pool of water.
Hua Qianyi's eyes suddenly brightened, as if he had realized something crucial. "Brother, do you think the poisoning in the military camp is related to our uncle whom we have never met? If the poison really came from him, then what is his position at this moment? Why did he poison the military camp?"
When Jun Feimo heard this, his eyes became even darker, like stars in the cold night, shining with a cold light. His voice was deep and powerful, "Has the master ever mentioned the past of Master Uncle? Or, what kind of person is Master Uncle?"
Hua Qianyi shook his head gently, a trace of helplessness flashed across his face, and his eyes became dim. "That time, Master was drunk, so he said a little on his own. But when he sobered up the next day, I asked him again, but he refused to say anything. He just sighed and left Medicine Valley, and I forgot about it."
Jun Feimo frowned and fell silent.
Hua Qianyi looked at Jun Feimo and continued with a serious expression: "Brother, after thinking about it, maybe the poisoning in the military camp has nothing to do with our uncle. After all, they have nothing to do with each other, how could it be such a coincidence?"
Jun Feimo slowly withdrew his gaze from the corner of the military kitchen below. He stared at Hua Qianyi quietly, and then slowly spoke: "This water poison is a rare and deadly poison in the world. There are very few people who can understand and refine it!" His voice was full of heaviness and worry, as if the whole world was covered by a shadow.
Hua Qianyi frowned slightly when he heard this, as if he suddenly thought of something, with a flash of surprise and confusion in his eyes: "Brother, speaking of this strange poison, I think of someone. The poison doctor from Xiliang, he escaped after being seriously injured by you last time, and he has not been caught yet. Could it be that he sneaked into the barracks and poisoned you in order to avenge you?"
Jun Feimo's expression became more solemn when he heard this. He pondered for a moment, shook his head, and nodded, as if weighing various possibilities in his mind. "Although the Xiliang poison doctor is poisonous, he acts cautiously and will not easily leave traces."
Hua Qianyi heard this and said, "Brother, what you mean is..."
Jun Feimo took a deep breath, his eyes as sharp as torches, as if he could see through the night and see every corner of the military camp. "The poisoner should be in the military camp. He may be hiding very deep, or he may just be an ordinary soldier."
Time passed by little by little, the night grew darker, but there was no movement around.
Jun Feimo frowned, turned to look at Hua Qianyi, and said, "Qianyi, you and your men will continue to stay here. The drinking water in the barracks cannot be used anymore. Send someone to get more water immediately and store it away secretly."
Hua Qianyi nodded to show that he understood.
Afterwards, Jun Feimo turned and left, his figure gradually blending into the darkness.
Inside the tent, candlelight flickered. Jun Feimo stepped into the tent and quickly glanced around, but did not see Chu Zixi.
He walked to the desk, picked up a thick book at random, and began to read it.
As time passed, a faint blue color gradually appeared on the horizon, heralding the coming of dawn.
Chu Zixi finally breathed a sigh of relief and stretched tiredly.
Her hands were trembling slightly from being busy for a long time, and her eyes were bloodshot from staying up late. The antidote was finally prepared successfully.
"Oh, I'm so tired and hungry!" Chu Zixi murmured to herself, her voice revealing the fatigue that was hard to conceal.
Then, she flashed and left the space.
At this moment, Jun Feimo was sitting there quietly, with his eyes closed and a book in his hand, motionless like a statue.
When Chu Zixi's figure appeared, his senses seemed to become unusually sharp, as if there was an invisible thread connecting them closely.
His eyes suddenly opened, as bright as the twinkling stars in the night sky.
The book in his hand fell to the ground, and his figure flashed. In the blink of an eye, he was beside Chu Zixi, looking at her with concern.
