Chapter 40: Father Attacked, Controversy Renewed
What Jiang Chen and Jiang Ying both hadn’t thought of, was the fact that the duke of Jiang Han, Jiang Feng, had an injury that wasn’t as simple as it appeared to be He hadn’t merely suffered a small wound
His opponent had actually applied poison to the blade of the knife, and it was a violent and swift acting poison!
In the short ti Chen - less than an hour - Jiang Feng’s injuries had quickly deteriorated
When Jiang Chen had returned to theHan had already sank into a co duke, Master Ying, you’ve finally back His Lordshi+p…” The head steward of theFu, was so worried that tears had streaked down his face
Jiang Chen co, “Father!”
Jiang Feng’s consciousness had already sank into a cohtly, and his eyelids didn’t even open
Jiang Ying’s fierce eyes were filled with thick regret As the head of the Jiang family Iron Guard, it was his dereliction of duty in not properly protecting the duke
“Your Lordshi+p, your subordinate has failed you and can only thank you with er at his waist with a clang and slashed at his own neck
Jiang Chen’s elbow bu to bu Ying felt his arrasp the knife in his hands, the dagger fell to the ground with a clank
“Jiang Ying, it’s easy for ato live in the face of hardshi+p is the difficult part You’re not going to tellfa Chen’s tone was cold and severe, and it carried a few traces of a lecturing tone
It was as if lightning had struck Jiang Ying How co duke started lecturing like this? When had a foppish dandy that had given Jiang Ying headaches beco hier fir Chen paid noFu, “Have we sent for a doctor?”
“Yes we have We’ve sent for three or four doctors and they all left without another hen they saw this situation They were so scared that their faces had turned green” Jiang Fu’s words were said with a tearful tone
This type of poison had spread incredibly fast If it wasn’t for the fact that Jiang Feng was a strong practitioner at ninesince succumbed to death
How could ordinary doctors, who had never seen this kind of poison, be able to cure it?
“Have none of the spirit alche Fu was distressed “I went in person to the Pill King Garden but was met with ridicule and mockery I have no connections with the other two places”
The Pill King Garden had always been in partnershi+p with the Jiang faht when he went to the Garden to ask for a spirit alcheood round of ridicule and sneering, and it ry that his entire body had shook
Jiang Chen was speechless This Jiang Fu was turning to any doctor he could find in his ti indeed if the Pill King Garden illing to co now
Who knew, perhaps the Garden had even had a hand in the business with the poison
After all, the situation noas quite clear The Pill King Garden had thrown their lot in with the duke of Soaring Dragon and beco Chen did not sit idly by He placed his fingers on Jiang Feng’s pulse as his brow creased faintly
Jiang Chen had also conductedpoison in his past life
He thought for abrush and paper, writing out a list
“Jiang Fu, ive this list to the third hallmaster Qiao Baishi+ Also, ask hi Chen fished around in his pockets and gave the engraved dragon , take this ite Chen was calm in the face of panic and orderly in hishad suddenlyduke since being lectured by hi knew that saving a life was as urgent as dousing a fire and he grabbed Jiang Fu, hauling him as he flew out the door
One had to say, Qiao Baishi+ gave Jiang Chen a lot of face He had arrived at the Jiang manor with the spirit medicines on the list in less than five minutes
Qiao Baishi+ was also extre’s condition
After a rave There were hints of inco and a bit of helplessness
“Young duke Jiang, His Lordshi+p has been poisoned Of that there can be no doubt But the theory behind this poison is difficult for rasp I’m afraid that I am helpless with hly resourceful and has extraordinary powers, but he unfortunately set out on a trip yesterday…”
Qiao Baishi+’s tone carried regret and apology He looked at Jiang Chen, momentarily at a loss of how to comfort him
And, he was also internally shocked To think that the situation within the capital would suddenly deteriorate to this! A regional duke had been ambushed on the doorsteps of his own house!
“Third hallmaster, in your mind, how many have the ability to use this poison within the capital?”
Qiao Baishi+ furrowed his brow in deep thought, and responded after a long while “The three heavyweights in spirit medicine in the capital are all not particularly adept at using poison I theorize that this wasn’t the work of a poison expert within the capital
