Chapter 409: Rescue

"Finished." Kang Ziwei watched the dean's face grow paler, unable to bear the nausea and discomfort, feeling more worry.

Jiang Yunchu didn't answer; now she had no strength to answer.

If it weren't for the special nature of inner strength, she probably couldn't have completed this toxin expulsion……

After circulating the inner strength two more times, Jiang Yunchu slowly withdrew her hand, but the inner strength she had drawn in could not be withdrawn, and was directly devoured by General Jiang's inner strength.

"Dean?" Kang Ziwei was a little worried, mainly because the dean's complexion was truly awful, with no trace of blood.

Jiang Yunchu took two breaths, lifted her head, "Wipe the sweat."

Kang Ziwei then hurriedly picked up a handkerchief and wiped the sweat from her face.

Just now she clearly saw the sweat, but dared not move, fearing to distract the dean.

"It's fine."

"Change the water." Just now three basins were brought over; now this basin shows nothing, pitch black like ink.

At the beginning, something was still jumping; now there is nothing.

Jiang Fengsheng hurried to help, bringing a fresh basin of water over; when Kang Ziwei reached down to take the basin, a worm was still on General Jiang's finger, half outside, half inside the finger.

When the fresh water arrived and General Jiang placed his hand in it, the worm twitched quickly and then fell outside.

Jiang Fengsheng frowned as he watched; Kang Ziwei made a swallowing motion, trying not to look.

Although she had raised snakes to resist her inner fear, this creature was still different.

"Silver needle."

Jiang Yunchu closed her eyes to rest a moment, then reached out; Kang Ziwei brought over the detoxified silver needle.

"Take off General Jiang's outer garment." She didn't move; able to speak, she absolutely would not move her hands, because even a finger felt too lazy to move, waves of drowsiness attacking her mind; if not for her firm resolve, she would have already wanted to sleep.

"I'll do it." Jiang Fengsheng stepped forward, swiftly and neatly removed the outer garment, then supported General Jiang, allowing Kang Ziwei to free her hands.

Jiang Yunchu pressed a few acupoints, then her eyes grew sharp and her hands moved quickly.

In the blink of an eye, three silver needles were already in General Jiang's back, "Cut the hand."

Those two cuts just now, under the impact of inner strength and toxin, had already healed; continuing detoxification, she could only keep cutting the hand.

"Yes."

Kang Ziwei looked at that worm, already able to keep a straight face; her hand moved quickly, she cut open the finger and swiftly placed it into the water basin.

Just a moment ago there was only a bit of black water; now it rapidly turned black.

Jiang Yunchu twisted the three silver needles, then moved quickly again; with each of her motions, the water in the basin grew darker and darker……

"Change water." Each time just those two simple words; she now felt specks of gold flashing before her eyes.

"Persist persist persist..." she constantly urged herself.

The other two people only saw the corner of her mouth twitch slightly, but heard no sound at all.

Jiang Yunchu felt so sleepy!

Her whole head felt hazy; before her eyes it would go dark, then white, then sparkle.

It felt like just an instant, yet she seemed to have experienced several days and nights.

"Half an hour, then pull them out." As soon as she finished speaking, her eyes went black and she collapsed directly.

"Yun chu." Jiang Fengsheng shouted urgently, but now he dared not let go.

Kang Ziwei took the pulse, "The consumption is too great, some loss is fundamental, needs rest."

One day later……

"What time is it?" Jiang Yunchu shook her head; her head felt hazy, her whole body lacked strength, no one answered the question, and her memories were gradually returning.

Habit truly is a terrifying thing; having grown used to Zi Su being by her side, each time she closed her eyes she would ask something, but now she is in the barracks—how could anyone attend to her?

She rubbed her brow, then slowly sat up.

"Dean, you're awake?" Kang Zhi Chun walked in holding a tray; last night the dean had frightened them to death, his face paler than a corpse's, with not a trace of blood, completely unconscious, having been brought over by his mother.

At that time Ning Hanmo's eyes were all red; if not for his mother's explanation, Ning Eldest would have blown his top.

The dean had always been the bottom line for Ning Eldest's highest level; normally everything was fine, but as soon as it involved the dean, it was no good.

Of course, they were the same.

"Hmm, how long did I sleep?" Jiang Yunchu lowered her hand from rubbing her brow, threw off the blanket and got out of bed.

Her body was still soft and limp, she now had no inner strength at all; she estimated the time couldn't have been long.

Kang Zhi Chun saw the dean pouring cool tea, hurried over to take it away, "Ning Eldest had instructed, you cannot drink cool tea."

The dean has a habit: whenever he needs to refresh himself, he likes to drink cool tea; they all know this, and whenever they are around they think of it, especially Ning Eldest, who always gives advance reminders, fearing they might also forget.

Jiang Yunchu looked at her empty hand; when practicing martial arts, how had she not noticed, this girl's hand is so fast?

"This is freshly warmed water from the stove; the barracks don't compare to the manor, the water and tea aren't very good, please drink warm water." Kang Zhi Chun brought over the warm water and also brought over the millet porridge she had cooked.

"They all went for morning drills; the general asked where we should go, everyone thought a bit and chose the medical tent, to temporarily hide our identities and observe the situation." Watching the dean eat, Kang Zhi Chun explained everyone's thoughts; the situation remains unclear, the grandfather's poisoning is also somewhat mysterious, the Ning Capital's armory workshop has come out, who knows whether the main camp has spies from Xijiang.

They had just arrived, still better to be cautious.

Jiang Yunchu nodded, "You've arranged things very well."

"How is Zi Wei?" She recalled yesterday's situation, the worm crawled out of General Jiang's body; Zi Wei could hold back from vomiting on the spot, that shows mental fortitude.

But she also lacked the energy to attend to her; after all, she was still worried about her state of mind—just don't let a psychological shadow form as soon as they arrived in Xijiang.

When Kang Ziwei was mentioned, Kang Zhi Chun's face turned a little pale; she also thought of those three basins of worms, "Wait…"

Before the words were finished, she had already rushed out; Jiang Yunchu merely lifted her head and heard from outside the sound of retching—

The corner of Jiang Yunchu's mouth twitched; she truly didn't know, had Kang Zhi Chun also seen it?

Not to mention Kang Zhi Chun, the other children had all seen it; they worried about the situation and kept guard outside the military tent.

First Kang Ziwei rushed out and vomited profusely; then a foul stench came from inside the room, others endured it without moving.

Only, when Vice General Li brought out a basin, the basin was pitch black like ink, yet contained white worms constantly churning; several young women couldn't hold back and ran straight out.

Only then did the present scene come to be.
