After marrying an enemy general [Interstellar]
Chapter 34 Questioning the Federation
In the end, Cecil failed to find out who sent Zhou Mian the card and roses.
After all, Zhou Mian blocked him from having anything to say.
tsk...
Cecil sat by the French window of the study, staring at the three potted flowers on the window in a daze.
It didn't exist originally, but Zhou Mian set it up for him and took care of it himself.
There are also two basins on the window of the bedroom.
With a "click", the butler entered with afternoon tea.
"This is the tea and biscuits made by the young master himself. He said he didn't ruin the biscuits this time. The general will be satisfied after trying it." The butler put the snacks and tea in the tray on the table.
Cecil frowned and said, "Why didn't he come and tell me in person?"
The housekeeper didn't even bat an eye, and said with a calm smile, "Because the young master is busy making dinner for the admiral."
Although the truth is that Zhou Mian felt that Cecil was nervous today, so he decided not to come.
"Yo..." Cecil rubbed his chin, frowned and said, "Isn't it because I'm shy, after all, I'm so handsome and I just hold him down like this... Hiss, can't I be so shy that I explode on the spot?"
"Maybe it is." The butler has been with Cecil for many years, and his ability to open his eyes and tell lies is first-class: "General, eat quickly."
"Hmph. I just like to act like a baby." Cecil ate his snack triumphantly, feeling as if he owned the whole world.
The housekeeper smiled and said, "But even if the young master gets angry, isn't that a good thing?"
"Huh?" Cecil swallowed a biscuit and thought it tasted really good.
He is almost obsessed with the food made of cotton last week.
The housekeeper said: "The young master has always been gentle and restrained. It's rare to see him showing all his emotions like today. This is a good attempt."
Cecil paused.
"That's right." Cecil also laughed, "He's too restrained."
After eating the snacks, Cecil's terminal received an urgent tip.
Cecil frowned slightly.
His Twelfth Army Commander, Casper, sent it to Cecil.
{Sixteen Star’s operation was not going well, Major General Gu’s team suddenly lost contact. }
Cecil's complexion immediately sank, and he got up and took his coat halfway through eating, and said, "Tell Zhou Mian that you don't need to prepare dinner, I'm going out and let him..."
Cecil paused, and said, "Let him prepare to go out with me."
"it is good."
Seeing Cecil's appearance, Zhou Mian knew that the situation was urgent, so she didn't delay, pulled the coat by the door and went out with Cecil directly.
"What's wrong?" Zhou Mian asked on the aircraft, "What happened?"
Cecil said: "Gu Xingzhi, have you heard of the major general of the Federation?"
Zhou Mian nodded.
Gu Xingzhi is equivalent to Zhou Mian of the Glacier System, except that in the Federation, Cecil is not only in charge of the inside but also outside, and the big battles are all led by Cecil.However, there is not only Cecil who can lead the army in the Federation, there is also Gu Xingzhi.
Cecil's battle is equivalent to the emperor's personal conquest, while Gu Xingzhi is equivalent to the general of the Federation.
Gu Xingzhi's main battlefields are mostly in remote places in the federal territory, such as stationing on the periphery to deter foreign countries and dependent countries and protect the federal border.
Unless the Zergs are really arrogant enough to directly attack from the bridge, if the Zergs want to attack the Federation, then Gu Xingzhi will be the first person to face it.
Cecil said: "There was news from the Intelligence Bureau that Xing Zhi suddenly lost contact five hours ago, and no one responded to the request and response signal sent by the Federation to Sixteen."
Zhou Mian frowned slightly.
He understood this situation as soon as he heard it.
problem occurs.
Zhou Mian asked, "How many people are in Major General Gu's team?"
Cecil said: "The team is on the [-]th star. Xing Zhi took a nine-person team to the [-]th star to investigate the situation. Now the [-]th star team has searched and rescued the [-]th star, but no one has been found."
Zhou Mian patted Cecil on the shoulder and said: "Don't worry too much, this is either injured and temporarily hiding in a hard-to-find place, or was taken away by Zerg or pirates. Major General Gu has a lofty status, even if he falls into the enemy Presumably he will not die in the hands of the army, they will use him as a bargaining chip to threaten the Federation."
Zhou Mian's tone was soft but firm, and Cecil also calmed down, and rubbed Zhou Mian's hair with a smile.
When the two arrived at the intelligence building, Cecil took out the access card and led Zhou Mian through the corridors and halls to a control room.
The control room is surrounded by screens, and a row of people are sitting under the screens, trying to capture the signal of Sixteen Stars.
Casper, the commander of the [-]th Army, stood aside, monitoring the movement on the screen.
"General, General Zhou."
Seeing the two coming, Casper bowed slightly and said, "No progress yet."
Cecil took the detailed information from Casper and read it carefully with Zhou Mian.
Seeing Cecil giving the encrypted data to Zhou Mian in a natural manner, Kasper paused, and had a new understanding and impression of Zhou Mian.
It seems that the relationship between Admiral and Admiral Zhou is indeed very good.
Cecil looked at the screens and said, "The brigade is already searching the sixteenth star. You should expand the range of the signal to detect nearby desolate stars."
Casper said, "The fourteen, fifteen, and seventeen nearby have been searched."
"What about eighteen?"
"Eighteen is too far away, and it will take three days to get there from Sixteen. Major General Gu's last signal was five hours ago, at the Sixteenth Star, so it is impossible for him to be on the Eighteenth Star."
"Try it," Cecil insisted.
After all, the so-called place where he can go has been searched and rescued for five hours so far, and there is still no news.
Casper frowned slightly, but still obeyed: "Switch the A1 annunciator to eighteen stars and search from the left, A2 from the right."
While Cecil and Zhou Mian were waiting, they sat on the sofa beside them and continued to watch the map analysis given by the satellite.
Cecil seemed to remember something, and turned to Casper, "Have you notified Aeron?"
Casper froze, then shook his head.
Didn't they... break up?
Cecil still took out the terminal to contact Aeron.
"What's wrong?" There was a lot of noise on Aeron's side, and it looked like he was in some kind of bar.
Cecil sighed and said in a low voice, "Something happened to Xing Zhi."
"..."
There was a moment of silence on the other end, then Aeron smiled and said, "How is that possible?"
Cecil said: "It's true, he is a soldier, I won't make fun of this kind of thing."
"..."
Cecil added: "We're in Intelligence."
Then hung up the call.
Cecil shook his head.
I don't know if Aeron will come.
Zhou Mian asked curiously: "Major General Gu and His Highness Yi Lun..."
"They used to be together, but they broke up later. Xing Zhi has been away these few years and rarely comes back, and when he comes back, Yi Lun will go out on the grounds of travel."
Cecil paused for a moment, and said, "Counting it all together, they haven't seen each other for three years."
"Drip..."
For a moment, a red light appeared on one of the screens.
It's the one that detects eighteen stars!
"Yes!" The intelligence agent was so excited that his hands were shaking, and he quickly connected.
"Federal Capital A2, may I ask..."
Before the intelligence officer finished speaking, a man's voice was heard hoarsely.
"Me and the rest of the team...in the Eighteen Star Canyon...cough..."
The man's voice was low and hoarse, and he looked weakly at the situation that was not going well.
When the man spoke, everyone present was shocked.
Why is Gu Xingzhi there in a place that can only be reached in three days? !
Cecil stepped forward to take Maidao: "Xing Zhi, how did you get to Eighteen Stars?"
"I have no idea……"
Cecil guessed that Gu Xingzhi might have discovered some tunnel or shortcut by accident, but at the moment Gu Xingzhi even had the strength to speak weakly, thinking that his mind was not clear anymore, since he couldn't ask, Cecil could only say: "Then the search and rescue team It will take three days to get to you, can you hold it?"
"..."
beep... beep...
Disconnected.
Cecil froze in place.
The signal was still on, but Gu Xingzhi was suddenly speechless.
Zhou Mian said: "It should be that I lost strength after holding on and explaining the position."
Cecil shouted in a low voice: "Send a message to the sixteen-star brigade and ask them to go to the eighteenth star as quickly as possible!"
Cecil still didn't put down the mic, just said: "Major General Gu, can you still hear me when you talk to me?"
There was a low voice from the other end.
Cecil said: "Please report the injury."
After a while, Gu Xingzhi said: "I may...not be able to go back."
Cecil said in a calm voice: "No, please report the injuries to you and the team."
"The others have already lost consciousness. I...cough, I don't know if I'm still alive. If I can't go back, help me...give a message to Aeron."
"bump!"
The door was pushed open, but Aeron still rushed over, and saw him in a travel-stained state, holding on to the door and staring at Cecil in disbelief.
A man's voice came from Merry.
"Tell him I'm sorry..."
Aeron stared blankly at the mic in Cecil's hand, his face turned pale.
Cecil was taken aback when he saw the person coming, then retreated and said, "Iron, come and talk to him."
First, Cecil wanted Yi Lun to encourage Gu Xingzhi, and second, in case Gu Xingzhi really couldn't come back...
Yi Lun took a deep breath, stepped forward and pinched Mai Di and shouted: "Gu Xingzhi! It's better if you die!"
"..."
The audience fell silent immediately, and the corners of Cecil's mouth twitched.
Aeron shouted: "I don't care for you coming back! You'd better not come back, die and go out! I'll just continue wandering and find someone better than you to marry!"
After saying that, Aeron turned and fled with red eyes.
Zhou Mian watched Yi Lun leave the remote control room, but couldn't stop him.
No one in the remote control room spoke, and finally the voice from the distant Eighteen Stars broke the deadlock.
"The team was ambushed by pirates on Sixteen Stars... the survivors include me... ahem, five people, currently in the Eighteen Stars Grand Canyon..."
Gu Xingzhi began to report slowly, explaining in detail the injuries of the five people.
They were all injured by pirate explosives. After losing their combat effectiveness, they were cut several times when fighting with pirates, and the pirates' knives were smeared with insect poison. At this moment, they were not only injured but also infected with Zerg, hiding in the canyon vulnerable .
Those intelligence agents began to locate and record the analysis.
Cecil said: "They are too seriously injured, the brigade's medical equipment can't handle it, and we have to send people out here in the capital."
Casper said, "I can..."
"I'll go in person." Cecil glanced at Zhou Mian and said, "Are you going?"
Although it was a question, Zhou Mian knew what Cecil meant, he had to go!
In the eyes of others, Gu Xingzhi is hopeless, and Cecil's departure this time is also a farewell.But Cecil knew that as long as Gu Xingzhi could survive these three days, Zhou Mian could try to get rid of the insect poisoning.
Zhou Mian said softly: "Fortunately, I picked and made the extra medicine before."
"Okay." Cecil pulled Zhou Mian and said to Casper: "Prepare the main battleship!"
They will use the fastest speed to go to the eighteenth star!
————XXXX———
The main battleship was in place at the airport, and the airport was also closed to the rest of the public.
Everyone noticed that something big was about to happen, but firstly, the Federation fought all year round, and secondly, the news of Gu Xingzhi's death was kept secret, so there was no commotion for the time being.
"Cecile!"
Cecil's footsteps stopped, and he saw Yi Lun standing beside him with his luggage, and said, "I'm going too, to see if Gu Xingzhi is dead."
Cecil sighed.
After Cecil explained all the official affairs to the five secretaries, he and Zhou Mian set off with a small army and Yi Lun in a low-key manner.
Medical equipment and doctors are already in place on the main battleship. Gu Xingzhi's brigade will pick him up within three days, and then rush back to the capital. Cecil's main battleship will also meet them on the road from the capital. Keep the time as short as possible.
Cecil and Zhou Mian were sitting in the cockpit, Cecil flipped through the documents and frowned and said, "It's not the first day for Xing Zhi to be in Desolate Star, how could he be injured so badly all of a sudden."
Zhou Mian said: "Pirates have always been scheming and have advanced weapons. They colluded with the Zerg. It is not difficult for Major General Gu to miss for a while."
"No, I mean...why?"
"Ok?"
Cecil explained: "It's not a special time now, and the Zerg didn't come to invade. Why did the pirates suddenly target Xingzhi? It would take a lot of manpower and resources to hurt Xingzhi like this? There is this necessary?"
Zhou Mian also frowned slightly.
Yeah... why?
Zhou Mian thought of the eyebrows and eyes of the man in red.
He also... can't figure out what that person is thinking.
Cecil lowered his head and continued to read the report. Zhou Mian glanced at Yi Lun who was sitting behind and stared out of the window in a daze, and comforted him: "Your Highness, don't worry...Major General Gu has been away all year round, and this time he will get through it safely."
"I'm not worried...!" Aeron gritted his teeth, "I just want to see his bad luck!"
Zhou Mian stared blankly at Yi Lun.
Why do you say you're not worried when you're clearly worried?
Seeing Zhou Mian looking at Yi Lun hesitating to speak, with a puzzled face, she patted him and said, "This is for fun."
Zhou Mian: "...?"
Aeron: "..."
Cecil smiled and said, "It's like every time you act like a baby with me, but say no."
Aeron raised his eyebrows slightly.
Yo……?
Zhou Mian: "..."
He really didn't have that!When did he act like a baby with Cecil? ?
Airen couldn't help but asked curiously: "I can't see it... so my sister-in-law would act like a baby?? Why?"
Zhou Mian gritted his teeth and said, "I haven't. Don't listen to Cecil's nonsense. Don't you know him yet?"
"That's right." Aeron said disgustedly: "Speaking depends on one mouth, and lines depend on self-indulgence."
Zhou Mian desperately resisted the urge to nod.
Anyway, because of this topic and Cecil's "self-sacrifice", the atmosphere in the room was a little lighter.
It's no use worrying now.
Several people slept in the main battleship overnight, and on the second day, rumors of Gu Xingzhi's incident gradually became popular among the people, and Starnet also began to talk about whether something happened to Major General Gu.
"It's impossible to hide it, but... it's too fast." Cecil frowned slightly.
After a pause, Cecil asked Casper, who was staying in the capital, to pay attention, so that they could take the opportunity to start investigating the mole.
If the traitor can't sit still this time and stirs up the muddy water again...
Cecil sneered.
Zhou Mian looked at the terrified look on Xingwang.com, and wondered: "The purpose of the Dark Phoenix is to disrupt the general's plan and plunge the capital into chaos?"
Otherwise, why did it expose him to pick Luo Luo before, and now it exposes Gu Xingzhi's situation?
"In any case, their purpose is to block me, find an opportunity to kill me." Cecil shrugged: "After all, I bloodbathed the Black Phoenix. And I will not let this traitor from the Black Phoenix go. But everything Those of the Black Phoenix will be killed without mercy."
Cecil's tone was calm, but hostility was hidden.
Zhou Mian paused and nodded.
Cecil smiled and said: "Actually, there are good people in Black Phoenix. She is a beautiful and gentle girl. At that time, she was 20 years older than me, and she took good care of the children kidnapped by Black Phoenix. It's a pity that she wanted to protect me and the other When a child dies, he was killed by the Black Phoenix people."
"Another child...?" Zhou Mian suddenly realized that Cecil was not kidnapped alone.
Is there anyone else?
"Yes." But Cecil looked away and didn't intend to say more.
Zhou Mian has always been sensitive to mental power, so he can feel Cecil's emotional changes at this moment.
When talking about that person, Cecil's mood fluctuated obviously.
Zhou Mian suddenly remembered what other people said, that the Dark Phoenix is Cecil's reverse scale, but Cecil also said in the chat with him before that he is not afraid of the Dark Phoenix, nor is it a shadow.
Could it be... In fact, the Black Phoenix is not, but that person is?
Zhou Mian was slightly lost in thought.
After nightfall, the main battleship finally met the aircraft escorting Gu Xingzhi. The main battleship opened the large hatch, and after the aircraft entered, Gu Xingzhi and the two surviving soldiers were moved into the medical room on a stretcher.
Aeron looked at the stretcher and said, "Didn't you mean five people?"
Zhou Mian and Cecil remained silent.
After a pause, Aeron understood that the other two failed to make it to the rescue.
Several people stepped forward to see that the three of them were all bloody.
The doctor stepped forward immediately, and two doctors and two nurses faced a patient.
Basically, the wound has been bandaged to stop bleeding and prevent infection, and all first aid has been done.
Yi Lun stood beside Gu Xingzhi's hospital bed, his body trembling uncontrollably.
Gu Xingzhi's entire face was already covered in blood, and only a tough outline could be vaguely seen.His body was covered with large and small wounds, and his back was also burned, presumably caused by the explosion.
But the fatal wound was a big gash from the shoulder to the waist. The knife wound forcibly opened a bloody deep groove in the flesh, which looked extremely terrifying.
There was a strong smell of blood in the air. Yi Lun was pampered and pampered since he was a child. It was the first time he saw such a wound on Gu Xingzhi's body, and his whole body trembled like chaff.
Zhou Mian stepped forward to block Yi Lun's sight and said, "Your Highness, why don't you go outside and wait?"
"Is it..." Aeron sniffed, "Will it hurt?"
Zhou Mian was taken aback.
Aeron's mentality suddenly collapsed, his eyes were as red as a rabbit, and his usual playful smile was gone: "Am I wrong? I shouldn't have treated him like that, will he die?"
"Does it hurt?" Aeron asked the question again with trembling lips.
In Aeron's cognition, that man is always tall and indifferent, like an old piece of wood, poking and moving.
How could such a strong person turn into this embarrassing appearance?
"Your Highness, let's go out and wait." Zhou Mian wrapped his arms around Yi Lun's shoulder and said warmly: "There is still a chance for treatment."
"No." Yi Lun pushed Zhou Mian's hand away and said, "I'll just sit by the side and won't disturb you. You don't need to worry about me."
Aeron took a deep breath and tried to sit aside expressionlessly.
Zhou Mian sighed and did not stop him.
"How is it?" Zhou Mian stepped forward to look, and saw that the doctor had finished cleaning and was about to sew up Gu Xingzhi's wound.
"Wait!" Zhou Mian frowned and said, "The insect poison hasn't been cured yet, why are you sealing the wound? Isn't this sealing the insect poison inside your body?"
One of the doctors frowned and said, "This is the best solution now. If the wound is not sealed, the bleeding and infection will be worse."
Zhou Mian said: "It cannot be sealed, no matter what."
Zhou Mian opened the box on the side, took out a plant of herbs inside and said: "Soak these plants in water and cover the wound, and then pour the powder made from the branches of red Luoluo and Tukang fern into the wound. detoxification."
"Are you crazy?" The oldest doctor shouted: "Let's not mention whether other plants will die if used, red Luoluo is poisonous! Drugs! Admiral Zhou has been fighting against Zerg pirates all year round. Don't you know that red Luoluo How dangerous is Luo?!"
Zhou Mian glanced at the three patients, who were still cleaning the wounds and still had time to argue, so she said patiently, "The leaves of Hongluoluo are the poison, but the ends of the branches are the medicine that can save lives."
"Plants can't save people at all, and they can't be made into medicine! Plants from the ancient earth can do it, but the plants of today can't! Where did Admiral Zhou draw his conclusion? Which medical book or some expert said it?"
Zhou Mian had a meal.
He has the spiritual power to see through the attributes of plants.
As long as it is a living thing, he can see through it, but the structure of plants is simpler than that of humans, so he can easily interpret it.
This is Zhou Mian's innate ability, and he doesn't know why only he can do it and others can't.
"I..." Zhou Mian frowned slightly, as if thinking about how to explain.
"Zhou Mian said it is possible." Cecil stood next to Zhou Mian, and directly threw out the most powerful argument: "I tried it, I was poisoned by Anders before, and I was poisoned by Zhou Mian's method." Cured."
"This..." the old doctor, Ford frowned: "But since the Star Era, no one has used plant therapy, and there have been many people who have tried and researched, but there is still no result. This is too risky."
The other two thug nurses also felt that Zhou Mian was talking nonsense, and one of the young nurses said directly, "Isn't it just to show off in front of General Cecil..."
Zhou Mian lowered his eyes and said, "Then, does Mr. Ford think that sealing the wound will save the lives of the three of them?"
Although the old doctor was stubborn, he was not stupid. Seeing Zhou Mian's soft and gentle tone at this moment, he felt that Zhou Mian was absurd, and his anger of disregarding human life in order to show off in front of Cecil gradually calmed down. He shook his head and said, "No, chances are weak. , we just treat the wound to the best condition, and the rest can only depend on the patient himself."
Zhou Mian glanced at Yi Lun, and said tactfully, "Since there is no chance of survival, why not just give it a go?"
"I'm a doctor, not a general who fights a war. I won't let you try things that have never been successful on patients, and increase the chances of death and pain for patients."
"Hey, what if I die?" Cecil folded his chest and said coolly, "You said the same thing back then, saying that I was hopeless, and it depends on my own destiny."
Ford frowned slightly.
Zhou Mian glanced at the two angry young nurses on the side, then at the doctor who was frowning, and said in a deep voice, "I'm not doing it for the limelight, and I don't need it. After this matter is done, Ceci and I It’s good if your relationship is good, and it will continue to be so good, but if you don’t do it well, everyone will hate you, I don’t need it.”
Cecil raised an eyebrow.
Zhou Mian continued: "Let me make it clear. The three patients are in such a situation now. Everyone knows that insect poisoning can cause wounds to fail to heal."
Zhou Mian turned to look at Yi Lun who was at the side and said, "Your Highness, Major Gu will die."
Aeron's eyes widened.
"Either he died slowly like this, or he was poisoned to death by my plants, but my plants may save him, although there was only one case of Cecil before, and Cecil was taken internally, not externally, would you like Let Major General Gu have a try?"
Ford frowned and said, "But without plants, maybe Major General Gu has a chance."
Zhou Mian said: "Is there any case? A patient who has been injured like this and is still alive."
Ford stroked the beard on his chin for thought, and was about to say one by one, when Aeron raised his head and said, "I...will give it a try."
"Your Highness, you don't understand these things. Human lives are at stake, and conclusions cannot be made casually." Ford shook his head.
Everyone knows that Prince Yilun grew up in a honeypot, and he was domineering since he was a child. Gu Xingzhi used to protect him, but now that Gu Xingzhi is out, he is also protected by Cecil and the elders.
"How could I draw conclusions at will! It's Gu Xingzhi's life, I care more than you! What do you know... What do you know as an outsider! You don't even know Gu Xingzhi!" Stimulated by Ford's words Yi Lun jumped up, and roared tremblingly with red eyes: "Will I make a random conclusion about Gu Xingzhi's fate?"
Ford was frozen in place by the deafening shout, and the other doctors and nurses were also stunned.
"Earlier Cecil had an accident, and you kept talking about it for a long time, saying that it was hopeless! Fend for yourself! Then Zhou Shang came, and he was saved." Aeron sniffed and said, "Now Admiral Zhou If you say he can be saved, what qualifications do you have to give advice!"
Ford was quiet for a long time, and then he stared and said: "We are doctors, and a layman tells us to use an unprecedented treatment method. Are we blindly using it on patients? This is a human life!"
"Okay! You are doctors, so why don't you cure Cecil and Gu Xingzhi!"
"..."
There was silence, Aeron stared at the doctors intently, trembling all over.
"Iron."
Cecil stepped forward, pressed Aeron's shoulder and rubbed it.
Aeron could feel Cecil's strength.
"Do as Admiral Zhou said. Otherwise..." Cecil smiled and said in a low voice, "If something happens to Xing Zhi today, none of the medical staff present will be able to escape."
There was still a slight smile on the corner of Cecil's mouth, but his tone became colder and colder.
Zhou Mian said to the nurses, "Get ready to soak the herbs!"
Cecil's meaning is already obvious, and there is no need to back down on this matter.
All the nurses had to rush to open the box and the herbs came out and soaked in hot water.
Zhou Mian glanced at Cecil gratefully, and then began to instruct the nurses on precautions and correct steps.
Cecil said: "Old Ford, I'll give Zhou Mian a guarantee. I'll take care of what happens, okay?"
Zhou Mian needs the support of doctors, otherwise there will be more obstacles when the main battleship lands in the capital and transfers patients to the intensive care unit of the hospital.
Ford frowned slightly.
Cecil said in a deep voice: "You know that I will not joke about Xing Zhi's life, and you also know my attitude towards my soldiers. I am willing to let Zhou Mian try it. First, I have personally experienced the effect. Second, , Xing is more fierce than good, I am willing to let him go for it, and the result is the same if he fails. Ford, you can understand after thinking about it carefully."
"..." Ford sighed heavily.
For ordinary people, this is a cult and a drug!
Zhou Mian led the people to rush around and began to rescue the patients, while Yi Lun watched anxiously from the side.
Ford glanced at him, shook his head, and said, "Even if I accept it, the people will not accept it. Everyone knows that people will die if they eat plants by mistake. Moreover, the federal people have been tortured by drugs for a hundred years. How many people have lost their wives and children because of drugs?" , How many people were killed by pirates? People who take drugs are addicted and insane. How can you say that people will accept plants, or even red Luoluo, to treat a person. "
Cecil was irritated by the chanting, and said: "I don't care about that. You tell other people directly, if there is any mistake in Zhou Mian, it will be directly blamed on me. I am afraid, isn't Cecil's name enough?"
Ford shook his head and said, "Okay, I'll trust the admiral once. I will try my best to get the hospital staff to cooperate when I return to the capital."
"Thank you." Cecil smiled and said, "Don't tell Zhou Mian about this."
Ford paused, and then couldn't help but sigh that Cecil really cares about Zhou Mian.
On the other end, after the herbs were ready, Zhou Mian applied them one by one.
The herbal medicine was originally irritating. After Zhou Mian applied the herbal medicine to Gu Xingzhi's wound, Gu Xingzhi twitched, his brows were furrowed, and his palms were desperately opened.
Seeing that Gu Xingzhi seemed to be suppressing some kind of pain, Yi Lun looked at his tightly pursed lips, then at his bloody hand that was desperately opened, took a deep breath and held it .
cold.
Yi Lun reached out to hold Gu Xingzhi's hand, but lowered his head, trying to bury it in his neck, and his shoulders twitched.
But Zhou Mian noticed that Yi Lun didn't cry either, in fact Yi Lun didn't cry from the beginning to the end.
Zhou Mian sighed and paid more attention to the wounds of the three patients.
Aeron just sat on the edge of the bed all night.
During this period, Zhou Mian kept asking the nurse to change the herbs, and the doctor was constantly making sure that the wound did not worsen.
But whether the wound gets worse or not, and whether the situation gets worse, doctors are not gods, and they can't control it.
"Dididi——"
One of the soldiers suddenly convulsed, and even the tube inserted into him fell off.
The soldier stared wide-eyed, opened his mouth to foam, then twitched... and lost his breath.
"drop--"
Everyone was stunned.
Not only the breathing stopped unexpectedly, but even the signs of life stopped unexpectedly. Now it's all right, and I don't even need first aid.
……
"Sure, sure enough!" one of the nurses screamed, "Hurry up and take the herbs off the major general and adjutant! That's harmful! It's harmful!"
There was a sudden chaos in the room, and the other nurse also panicked, and she was about to touch Gu Xingzhi with her hand.
"bump……!"
Cecil quickly stepped forward and kicked the nurse away, without showing mercy at all, he directly pulled out his gun and pointed at the screaming nurse, "Calm down!"
……
Suddenly there was a complete silence.
Cecil sneered and said, "I called for the best medical team this time. I didn't expect the nurses who came here to panic because of the death. What's the matter? Don't people die in your hospital? One death will cause chaos, right? ?ah?!"
Ford paused, and said in a low voice: "Sorry, it's just to train new blood. Every mission will bring one or two newcomers, which makes the general laugh."
Ford also felt ashamed, and gave the nurse a hard look, telling her to get out and wash her face, calm down.
"Yes, I'm sorry..." The nurse looked at Jiao Didi, and left with a face that was about to cry.
Ford shook his head and asked the doctor beside him, "Which department is in charge of it?"
"I don't know either...the new faces."
After that, everyone calmed down and collected the dead soldier's body under Ford's guidance.
Seeing the soldier being carried out covered with a layer of white cloth, Yi Lun bit his lower lip, closed his eyes and held Gu Xingzhi's hand tightly.
Zhou Mian stood aside, stuffed his cold hands into his trouser pockets and said calmly: "It's not because of the herbal medicine, but just like the other two soldiers who couldn't wait for rescue before, they couldn't hold on anymore. Everyone's physical function and The intensity is different, he is at the end, and the herbs can't save him."
Yi Lun muttered in a low voice: "Gu Xingzhi is not an ordinary person, he can..."
Although the medical team is very dissatisfied with Zhou Mian at the moment and has lost trust, Yi Lun still believes in Zhou Mian, and Cecil is still holding a pistol and standing against the wall, aggressive, no one dares to question it .
The atmosphere in the room was a little tense.
Just then, Cecil's terminal rang.
"Admiral."
It's Casper.
After listening to Casper's report, Cecil immediately frowned.
——Admiral Zhou’s use of herbs to treat patients has been exposed. Now that angry people are blocking the airport to demonstrate, the admiral must be careful.
Leaked?
Cecil opened the terminal to log in to Starnet.
[Hot] Admiral Zhou treated Major General Gu with herbal medicine
【shock! 】Admiral Zhou poisoned soldiers with herbs!
Sure enough, this is the source.
Cecil scanned a little and found that an account suddenly posted a video.
In the video, Zhou Mian was arguing with Ford, saying that his herbal medicine could save people. Then the video screen changed, and it was the soldier convulsing, and then the instrument showed that he had lost signs of life.
In less than a minute of video, a missile was directly dropped on the star network, causing everyone to panic.
{Did you see it? !Do you see it? !The bloody man behind the video is Major General Gu, and he also has medicinal herbs on him! }
{Will something happen to him after it's over!He can't have an accident!Neither Admiral Cecil nor Major General Gu will have any accidents!If something goes wrong, the Federation will collapse! }
{What happened to Admiral Zhou? !Is he an undercover agent sent by Binghe?Is he trying to kill Major General Gu! }
The public was worried that Young Master Gu would be killed and lost their minds.
{impossible!Look at Admiral Zhou's previous performance. He and Admiral Cecil have such a good relationship and are very nice people. This must be a misunderstanding!Maybe... maybe herbs really work? }
{You crazy CP party, Major General Gu’s life is in danger, and the Federation is at stake, so don’t be cute about CP at this time!If you are cute cp again, you will die! }
{The ones upstairs are going to die!Said it was the cp party?Admiral Zhou did really well before. You can see in the video that Admiral Cecil and His Royal Highness Yiren are obviously very supportive of Admiral Zhou! }
{Isn't that even more terrifying? !Those performances before were probably not to seduce Admiral Cecil. After winning the trust of the admiral, he began to harm the mainstay of the Federation!You see, it's all right now, the princes, generals and young marshals of the Federation are all pinched to death by him. }
{Are you alarmist?Now that the situation is not clear, he directly slandered Admiral Zhou?Admiral Zhou's character is obvious to all! }
{The situation is not clear enough?Admiral Zhou has already stuffed the harmful plants into Major General Gu's wound!I can't wait to kill him! }
There was a lot of quarrels on Xingwang. Some supported Zhou Mian, but most were opposed.
Or fear.
I am afraid that Zhou Mian will spread the cult-phytotherapy through these high-level officials, and I am afraid that Major General Gu and others will be poisoned by bad people.
It was also at this moment that Cecil realized a problem.
The table before Zhou Mian
After all, Zhou Mian blocked him from having anything to say.
tsk...
Cecil sat by the French window of the study, staring at the three potted flowers on the window in a daze.
It didn't exist originally, but Zhou Mian set it up for him and took care of it himself.
There are also two basins on the window of the bedroom.
With a "click", the butler entered with afternoon tea.
"This is the tea and biscuits made by the young master himself. He said he didn't ruin the biscuits this time. The general will be satisfied after trying it." The butler put the snacks and tea in the tray on the table.
Cecil frowned and said, "Why didn't he come and tell me in person?"
The housekeeper didn't even bat an eye, and said with a calm smile, "Because the young master is busy making dinner for the admiral."
Although the truth is that Zhou Mian felt that Cecil was nervous today, so he decided not to come.
"Yo..." Cecil rubbed his chin, frowned and said, "Isn't it because I'm shy, after all, I'm so handsome and I just hold him down like this... Hiss, can't I be so shy that I explode on the spot?"
"Maybe it is." The butler has been with Cecil for many years, and his ability to open his eyes and tell lies is first-class: "General, eat quickly."
"Hmph. I just like to act like a baby." Cecil ate his snack triumphantly, feeling as if he owned the whole world.
The housekeeper smiled and said, "But even if the young master gets angry, isn't that a good thing?"
"Huh?" Cecil swallowed a biscuit and thought it tasted really good.
He is almost obsessed with the food made of cotton last week.
The housekeeper said: "The young master has always been gentle and restrained. It's rare to see him showing all his emotions like today. This is a good attempt."
Cecil paused.
"That's right." Cecil also laughed, "He's too restrained."
After eating the snacks, Cecil's terminal received an urgent tip.
Cecil frowned slightly.
His Twelfth Army Commander, Casper, sent it to Cecil.
{Sixteen Star’s operation was not going well, Major General Gu’s team suddenly lost contact. }
Cecil's complexion immediately sank, and he got up and took his coat halfway through eating, and said, "Tell Zhou Mian that you don't need to prepare dinner, I'm going out and let him..."
Cecil paused, and said, "Let him prepare to go out with me."
"it is good."
Seeing Cecil's appearance, Zhou Mian knew that the situation was urgent, so she didn't delay, pulled the coat by the door and went out with Cecil directly.
"What's wrong?" Zhou Mian asked on the aircraft, "What happened?"
Cecil said: "Gu Xingzhi, have you heard of the major general of the Federation?"
Zhou Mian nodded.
Gu Xingzhi is equivalent to Zhou Mian of the Glacier System, except that in the Federation, Cecil is not only in charge of the inside but also outside, and the big battles are all led by Cecil.However, there is not only Cecil who can lead the army in the Federation, there is also Gu Xingzhi.
Cecil's battle is equivalent to the emperor's personal conquest, while Gu Xingzhi is equivalent to the general of the Federation.
Gu Xingzhi's main battlefields are mostly in remote places in the federal territory, such as stationing on the periphery to deter foreign countries and dependent countries and protect the federal border.
Unless the Zergs are really arrogant enough to directly attack from the bridge, if the Zergs want to attack the Federation, then Gu Xingzhi will be the first person to face it.
Cecil said: "There was news from the Intelligence Bureau that Xing Zhi suddenly lost contact five hours ago, and no one responded to the request and response signal sent by the Federation to Sixteen."
Zhou Mian frowned slightly.
He understood this situation as soon as he heard it.
problem occurs.
Zhou Mian asked, "How many people are in Major General Gu's team?"
Cecil said: "The team is on the [-]th star. Xing Zhi took a nine-person team to the [-]th star to investigate the situation. Now the [-]th star team has searched and rescued the [-]th star, but no one has been found."
Zhou Mian patted Cecil on the shoulder and said: "Don't worry too much, this is either injured and temporarily hiding in a hard-to-find place, or was taken away by Zerg or pirates. Major General Gu has a lofty status, even if he falls into the enemy Presumably he will not die in the hands of the army, they will use him as a bargaining chip to threaten the Federation."
Zhou Mian's tone was soft but firm, and Cecil also calmed down, and rubbed Zhou Mian's hair with a smile.
When the two arrived at the intelligence building, Cecil took out the access card and led Zhou Mian through the corridors and halls to a control room.
The control room is surrounded by screens, and a row of people are sitting under the screens, trying to capture the signal of Sixteen Stars.
Casper, the commander of the [-]th Army, stood aside, monitoring the movement on the screen.
"General, General Zhou."
Seeing the two coming, Casper bowed slightly and said, "No progress yet."
Cecil took the detailed information from Casper and read it carefully with Zhou Mian.
Seeing Cecil giving the encrypted data to Zhou Mian in a natural manner, Kasper paused, and had a new understanding and impression of Zhou Mian.
It seems that the relationship between Admiral and Admiral Zhou is indeed very good.
Cecil looked at the screens and said, "The brigade is already searching the sixteenth star. You should expand the range of the signal to detect nearby desolate stars."
Casper said, "The fourteen, fifteen, and seventeen nearby have been searched."
"What about eighteen?"
"Eighteen is too far away, and it will take three days to get there from Sixteen. Major General Gu's last signal was five hours ago, at the Sixteenth Star, so it is impossible for him to be on the Eighteenth Star."
"Try it," Cecil insisted.
After all, the so-called place where he can go has been searched and rescued for five hours so far, and there is still no news.
Casper frowned slightly, but still obeyed: "Switch the A1 annunciator to eighteen stars and search from the left, A2 from the right."
While Cecil and Zhou Mian were waiting, they sat on the sofa beside them and continued to watch the map analysis given by the satellite.
Cecil seemed to remember something, and turned to Casper, "Have you notified Aeron?"
Casper froze, then shook his head.
Didn't they... break up?
Cecil still took out the terminal to contact Aeron.
"What's wrong?" There was a lot of noise on Aeron's side, and it looked like he was in some kind of bar.
Cecil sighed and said in a low voice, "Something happened to Xing Zhi."
"..."
There was a moment of silence on the other end, then Aeron smiled and said, "How is that possible?"
Cecil said: "It's true, he is a soldier, I won't make fun of this kind of thing."
"..."
Cecil added: "We're in Intelligence."
Then hung up the call.
Cecil shook his head.
I don't know if Aeron will come.
Zhou Mian asked curiously: "Major General Gu and His Highness Yi Lun..."
"They used to be together, but they broke up later. Xing Zhi has been away these few years and rarely comes back, and when he comes back, Yi Lun will go out on the grounds of travel."
Cecil paused for a moment, and said, "Counting it all together, they haven't seen each other for three years."
"Drip..."
For a moment, a red light appeared on one of the screens.
It's the one that detects eighteen stars!
"Yes!" The intelligence agent was so excited that his hands were shaking, and he quickly connected.
"Federal Capital A2, may I ask..."
Before the intelligence officer finished speaking, a man's voice was heard hoarsely.
"Me and the rest of the team...in the Eighteen Star Canyon...cough..."
The man's voice was low and hoarse, and he looked weakly at the situation that was not going well.
When the man spoke, everyone present was shocked.
Why is Gu Xingzhi there in a place that can only be reached in three days? !
Cecil stepped forward to take Maidao: "Xing Zhi, how did you get to Eighteen Stars?"
"I have no idea……"
Cecil guessed that Gu Xingzhi might have discovered some tunnel or shortcut by accident, but at the moment Gu Xingzhi even had the strength to speak weakly, thinking that his mind was not clear anymore, since he couldn't ask, Cecil could only say: "Then the search and rescue team It will take three days to get to you, can you hold it?"
"..."
beep... beep...
Disconnected.
Cecil froze in place.
The signal was still on, but Gu Xingzhi was suddenly speechless.
Zhou Mian said: "It should be that I lost strength after holding on and explaining the position."
Cecil shouted in a low voice: "Send a message to the sixteen-star brigade and ask them to go to the eighteenth star as quickly as possible!"
Cecil still didn't put down the mic, just said: "Major General Gu, can you still hear me when you talk to me?"
There was a low voice from the other end.
Cecil said: "Please report the injury."
After a while, Gu Xingzhi said: "I may...not be able to go back."
Cecil said in a calm voice: "No, please report the injuries to you and the team."
"The others have already lost consciousness. I...cough, I don't know if I'm still alive. If I can't go back, help me...give a message to Aeron."
"bump!"
The door was pushed open, but Aeron still rushed over, and saw him in a travel-stained state, holding on to the door and staring at Cecil in disbelief.
A man's voice came from Merry.
"Tell him I'm sorry..."
Aeron stared blankly at the mic in Cecil's hand, his face turned pale.
Cecil was taken aback when he saw the person coming, then retreated and said, "Iron, come and talk to him."
First, Cecil wanted Yi Lun to encourage Gu Xingzhi, and second, in case Gu Xingzhi really couldn't come back...
Yi Lun took a deep breath, stepped forward and pinched Mai Di and shouted: "Gu Xingzhi! It's better if you die!"
"..."
The audience fell silent immediately, and the corners of Cecil's mouth twitched.
Aeron shouted: "I don't care for you coming back! You'd better not come back, die and go out! I'll just continue wandering and find someone better than you to marry!"
After saying that, Aeron turned and fled with red eyes.
Zhou Mian watched Yi Lun leave the remote control room, but couldn't stop him.
No one in the remote control room spoke, and finally the voice from the distant Eighteen Stars broke the deadlock.
"The team was ambushed by pirates on Sixteen Stars... the survivors include me... ahem, five people, currently in the Eighteen Stars Grand Canyon..."
Gu Xingzhi began to report slowly, explaining in detail the injuries of the five people.
They were all injured by pirate explosives. After losing their combat effectiveness, they were cut several times when fighting with pirates, and the pirates' knives were smeared with insect poison. At this moment, they were not only injured but also infected with Zerg, hiding in the canyon vulnerable .
Those intelligence agents began to locate and record the analysis.
Cecil said: "They are too seriously injured, the brigade's medical equipment can't handle it, and we have to send people out here in the capital."
Casper said, "I can..."
"I'll go in person." Cecil glanced at Zhou Mian and said, "Are you going?"
Although it was a question, Zhou Mian knew what Cecil meant, he had to go!
In the eyes of others, Gu Xingzhi is hopeless, and Cecil's departure this time is also a farewell.But Cecil knew that as long as Gu Xingzhi could survive these three days, Zhou Mian could try to get rid of the insect poisoning.
Zhou Mian said softly: "Fortunately, I picked and made the extra medicine before."
"Okay." Cecil pulled Zhou Mian and said to Casper: "Prepare the main battleship!"
They will use the fastest speed to go to the eighteenth star!
————XXXX———
The main battleship was in place at the airport, and the airport was also closed to the rest of the public.
Everyone noticed that something big was about to happen, but firstly, the Federation fought all year round, and secondly, the news of Gu Xingzhi's death was kept secret, so there was no commotion for the time being.
"Cecile!"
Cecil's footsteps stopped, and he saw Yi Lun standing beside him with his luggage, and said, "I'm going too, to see if Gu Xingzhi is dead."
Cecil sighed.
After Cecil explained all the official affairs to the five secretaries, he and Zhou Mian set off with a small army and Yi Lun in a low-key manner.
Medical equipment and doctors are already in place on the main battleship. Gu Xingzhi's brigade will pick him up within three days, and then rush back to the capital. Cecil's main battleship will also meet them on the road from the capital. Keep the time as short as possible.
Cecil and Zhou Mian were sitting in the cockpit, Cecil flipped through the documents and frowned and said, "It's not the first day for Xing Zhi to be in Desolate Star, how could he be injured so badly all of a sudden."
Zhou Mian said: "Pirates have always been scheming and have advanced weapons. They colluded with the Zerg. It is not difficult for Major General Gu to miss for a while."
"No, I mean...why?"
"Ok?"
Cecil explained: "It's not a special time now, and the Zerg didn't come to invade. Why did the pirates suddenly target Xingzhi? It would take a lot of manpower and resources to hurt Xingzhi like this? There is this necessary?"
Zhou Mian also frowned slightly.
Yeah... why?
Zhou Mian thought of the eyebrows and eyes of the man in red.
He also... can't figure out what that person is thinking.
Cecil lowered his head and continued to read the report. Zhou Mian glanced at Yi Lun who was sitting behind and stared out of the window in a daze, and comforted him: "Your Highness, don't worry...Major General Gu has been away all year round, and this time he will get through it safely."
"I'm not worried...!" Aeron gritted his teeth, "I just want to see his bad luck!"
Zhou Mian stared blankly at Yi Lun.
Why do you say you're not worried when you're clearly worried?
Seeing Zhou Mian looking at Yi Lun hesitating to speak, with a puzzled face, she patted him and said, "This is for fun."
Zhou Mian: "...?"
Aeron: "..."
Cecil smiled and said, "It's like every time you act like a baby with me, but say no."
Aeron raised his eyebrows slightly.
Yo……?
Zhou Mian: "..."
He really didn't have that!When did he act like a baby with Cecil? ?
Airen couldn't help but asked curiously: "I can't see it... so my sister-in-law would act like a baby?? Why?"
Zhou Mian gritted his teeth and said, "I haven't. Don't listen to Cecil's nonsense. Don't you know him yet?"
"That's right." Aeron said disgustedly: "Speaking depends on one mouth, and lines depend on self-indulgence."
Zhou Mian desperately resisted the urge to nod.
Anyway, because of this topic and Cecil's "self-sacrifice", the atmosphere in the room was a little lighter.
It's no use worrying now.
Several people slept in the main battleship overnight, and on the second day, rumors of Gu Xingzhi's incident gradually became popular among the people, and Starnet also began to talk about whether something happened to Major General Gu.
"It's impossible to hide it, but... it's too fast." Cecil frowned slightly.
After a pause, Cecil asked Casper, who was staying in the capital, to pay attention, so that they could take the opportunity to start investigating the mole.
If the traitor can't sit still this time and stirs up the muddy water again...
Cecil sneered.
Zhou Mian looked at the terrified look on Xingwang.com, and wondered: "The purpose of the Dark Phoenix is to disrupt the general's plan and plunge the capital into chaos?"
Otherwise, why did it expose him to pick Luo Luo before, and now it exposes Gu Xingzhi's situation?
"In any case, their purpose is to block me, find an opportunity to kill me." Cecil shrugged: "After all, I bloodbathed the Black Phoenix. And I will not let this traitor from the Black Phoenix go. But everything Those of the Black Phoenix will be killed without mercy."
Cecil's tone was calm, but hostility was hidden.
Zhou Mian paused and nodded.
Cecil smiled and said: "Actually, there are good people in Black Phoenix. She is a beautiful and gentle girl. At that time, she was 20 years older than me, and she took good care of the children kidnapped by Black Phoenix. It's a pity that she wanted to protect me and the other When a child dies, he was killed by the Black Phoenix people."
"Another child...?" Zhou Mian suddenly realized that Cecil was not kidnapped alone.
Is there anyone else?
"Yes." But Cecil looked away and didn't intend to say more.
Zhou Mian has always been sensitive to mental power, so he can feel Cecil's emotional changes at this moment.
When talking about that person, Cecil's mood fluctuated obviously.
Zhou Mian suddenly remembered what other people said, that the Dark Phoenix is Cecil's reverse scale, but Cecil also said in the chat with him before that he is not afraid of the Dark Phoenix, nor is it a shadow.
Could it be... In fact, the Black Phoenix is not, but that person is?
Zhou Mian was slightly lost in thought.
After nightfall, the main battleship finally met the aircraft escorting Gu Xingzhi. The main battleship opened the large hatch, and after the aircraft entered, Gu Xingzhi and the two surviving soldiers were moved into the medical room on a stretcher.
Aeron looked at the stretcher and said, "Didn't you mean five people?"
Zhou Mian and Cecil remained silent.
After a pause, Aeron understood that the other two failed to make it to the rescue.
Several people stepped forward to see that the three of them were all bloody.
The doctor stepped forward immediately, and two doctors and two nurses faced a patient.
Basically, the wound has been bandaged to stop bleeding and prevent infection, and all first aid has been done.
Yi Lun stood beside Gu Xingzhi's hospital bed, his body trembling uncontrollably.
Gu Xingzhi's entire face was already covered in blood, and only a tough outline could be vaguely seen.His body was covered with large and small wounds, and his back was also burned, presumably caused by the explosion.
But the fatal wound was a big gash from the shoulder to the waist. The knife wound forcibly opened a bloody deep groove in the flesh, which looked extremely terrifying.
There was a strong smell of blood in the air. Yi Lun was pampered and pampered since he was a child. It was the first time he saw such a wound on Gu Xingzhi's body, and his whole body trembled like chaff.
Zhou Mian stepped forward to block Yi Lun's sight and said, "Your Highness, why don't you go outside and wait?"
"Is it..." Aeron sniffed, "Will it hurt?"
Zhou Mian was taken aback.
Aeron's mentality suddenly collapsed, his eyes were as red as a rabbit, and his usual playful smile was gone: "Am I wrong? I shouldn't have treated him like that, will he die?"
"Does it hurt?" Aeron asked the question again with trembling lips.
In Aeron's cognition, that man is always tall and indifferent, like an old piece of wood, poking and moving.
How could such a strong person turn into this embarrassing appearance?
"Your Highness, let's go out and wait." Zhou Mian wrapped his arms around Yi Lun's shoulder and said warmly: "There is still a chance for treatment."
"No." Yi Lun pushed Zhou Mian's hand away and said, "I'll just sit by the side and won't disturb you. You don't need to worry about me."
Aeron took a deep breath and tried to sit aside expressionlessly.
Zhou Mian sighed and did not stop him.
"How is it?" Zhou Mian stepped forward to look, and saw that the doctor had finished cleaning and was about to sew up Gu Xingzhi's wound.
"Wait!" Zhou Mian frowned and said, "The insect poison hasn't been cured yet, why are you sealing the wound? Isn't this sealing the insect poison inside your body?"
One of the doctors frowned and said, "This is the best solution now. If the wound is not sealed, the bleeding and infection will be worse."
Zhou Mian said: "It cannot be sealed, no matter what."
Zhou Mian opened the box on the side, took out a plant of herbs inside and said: "Soak these plants in water and cover the wound, and then pour the powder made from the branches of red Luoluo and Tukang fern into the wound. detoxification."
"Are you crazy?" The oldest doctor shouted: "Let's not mention whether other plants will die if used, red Luoluo is poisonous! Drugs! Admiral Zhou has been fighting against Zerg pirates all year round. Don't you know that red Luoluo How dangerous is Luo?!"
Zhou Mian glanced at the three patients, who were still cleaning the wounds and still had time to argue, so she said patiently, "The leaves of Hongluoluo are the poison, but the ends of the branches are the medicine that can save lives."
"Plants can't save people at all, and they can't be made into medicine! Plants from the ancient earth can do it, but the plants of today can't! Where did Admiral Zhou draw his conclusion? Which medical book or some expert said it?"
Zhou Mian had a meal.
He has the spiritual power to see through the attributes of plants.
As long as it is a living thing, he can see through it, but the structure of plants is simpler than that of humans, so he can easily interpret it.
This is Zhou Mian's innate ability, and he doesn't know why only he can do it and others can't.
"I..." Zhou Mian frowned slightly, as if thinking about how to explain.
"Zhou Mian said it is possible." Cecil stood next to Zhou Mian, and directly threw out the most powerful argument: "I tried it, I was poisoned by Anders before, and I was poisoned by Zhou Mian's method." Cured."
"This..." the old doctor, Ford frowned: "But since the Star Era, no one has used plant therapy, and there have been many people who have tried and researched, but there is still no result. This is too risky."
The other two thug nurses also felt that Zhou Mian was talking nonsense, and one of the young nurses said directly, "Isn't it just to show off in front of General Cecil..."
Zhou Mian lowered his eyes and said, "Then, does Mr. Ford think that sealing the wound will save the lives of the three of them?"
Although the old doctor was stubborn, he was not stupid. Seeing Zhou Mian's soft and gentle tone at this moment, he felt that Zhou Mian was absurd, and his anger of disregarding human life in order to show off in front of Cecil gradually calmed down. He shook his head and said, "No, chances are weak. , we just treat the wound to the best condition, and the rest can only depend on the patient himself."
Zhou Mian glanced at Yi Lun, and said tactfully, "Since there is no chance of survival, why not just give it a go?"
"I'm a doctor, not a general who fights a war. I won't let you try things that have never been successful on patients, and increase the chances of death and pain for patients."
"Hey, what if I die?" Cecil folded his chest and said coolly, "You said the same thing back then, saying that I was hopeless, and it depends on my own destiny."
Ford frowned slightly.
Zhou Mian glanced at the two angry young nurses on the side, then at the doctor who was frowning, and said in a deep voice, "I'm not doing it for the limelight, and I don't need it. After this matter is done, Ceci and I It’s good if your relationship is good, and it will continue to be so good, but if you don’t do it well, everyone will hate you, I don’t need it.”
Cecil raised an eyebrow.
Zhou Mian continued: "Let me make it clear. The three patients are in such a situation now. Everyone knows that insect poisoning can cause wounds to fail to heal."
Zhou Mian turned to look at Yi Lun who was at the side and said, "Your Highness, Major Gu will die."
Aeron's eyes widened.
"Either he died slowly like this, or he was poisoned to death by my plants, but my plants may save him, although there was only one case of Cecil before, and Cecil was taken internally, not externally, would you like Let Major General Gu have a try?"
Ford frowned and said, "But without plants, maybe Major General Gu has a chance."
Zhou Mian said: "Is there any case? A patient who has been injured like this and is still alive."
Ford stroked the beard on his chin for thought, and was about to say one by one, when Aeron raised his head and said, "I...will give it a try."
"Your Highness, you don't understand these things. Human lives are at stake, and conclusions cannot be made casually." Ford shook his head.
Everyone knows that Prince Yilun grew up in a honeypot, and he was domineering since he was a child. Gu Xingzhi used to protect him, but now that Gu Xingzhi is out, he is also protected by Cecil and the elders.
"How could I draw conclusions at will! It's Gu Xingzhi's life, I care more than you! What do you know... What do you know as an outsider! You don't even know Gu Xingzhi!" Stimulated by Ford's words Yi Lun jumped up, and roared tremblingly with red eyes: "Will I make a random conclusion about Gu Xingzhi's fate?"
Ford was frozen in place by the deafening shout, and the other doctors and nurses were also stunned.
"Earlier Cecil had an accident, and you kept talking about it for a long time, saying that it was hopeless! Fend for yourself! Then Zhou Shang came, and he was saved." Aeron sniffed and said, "Now Admiral Zhou If you say he can be saved, what qualifications do you have to give advice!"
Ford was quiet for a long time, and then he stared and said: "We are doctors, and a layman tells us to use an unprecedented treatment method. Are we blindly using it on patients? This is a human life!"
"Okay! You are doctors, so why don't you cure Cecil and Gu Xingzhi!"
"..."
There was silence, Aeron stared at the doctors intently, trembling all over.
"Iron."
Cecil stepped forward, pressed Aeron's shoulder and rubbed it.
Aeron could feel Cecil's strength.
"Do as Admiral Zhou said. Otherwise..." Cecil smiled and said in a low voice, "If something happens to Xing Zhi today, none of the medical staff present will be able to escape."
There was still a slight smile on the corner of Cecil's mouth, but his tone became colder and colder.
Zhou Mian said to the nurses, "Get ready to soak the herbs!"
Cecil's meaning is already obvious, and there is no need to back down on this matter.
All the nurses had to rush to open the box and the herbs came out and soaked in hot water.
Zhou Mian glanced at Cecil gratefully, and then began to instruct the nurses on precautions and correct steps.
Cecil said: "Old Ford, I'll give Zhou Mian a guarantee. I'll take care of what happens, okay?"
Zhou Mian needs the support of doctors, otherwise there will be more obstacles when the main battleship lands in the capital and transfers patients to the intensive care unit of the hospital.
Ford frowned slightly.
Cecil said in a deep voice: "You know that I will not joke about Xing Zhi's life, and you also know my attitude towards my soldiers. I am willing to let Zhou Mian try it. First, I have personally experienced the effect. Second, , Xing is more fierce than good, I am willing to let him go for it, and the result is the same if he fails. Ford, you can understand after thinking about it carefully."
"..." Ford sighed heavily.
For ordinary people, this is a cult and a drug!
Zhou Mian led the people to rush around and began to rescue the patients, while Yi Lun watched anxiously from the side.
Ford glanced at him, shook his head, and said, "Even if I accept it, the people will not accept it. Everyone knows that people will die if they eat plants by mistake. Moreover, the federal people have been tortured by drugs for a hundred years. How many people have lost their wives and children because of drugs?" , How many people were killed by pirates? People who take drugs are addicted and insane. How can you say that people will accept plants, or even red Luoluo, to treat a person. "
Cecil was irritated by the chanting, and said: "I don't care about that. You tell other people directly, if there is any mistake in Zhou Mian, it will be directly blamed on me. I am afraid, isn't Cecil's name enough?"
Ford shook his head and said, "Okay, I'll trust the admiral once. I will try my best to get the hospital staff to cooperate when I return to the capital."
"Thank you." Cecil smiled and said, "Don't tell Zhou Mian about this."
Ford paused, and then couldn't help but sigh that Cecil really cares about Zhou Mian.
On the other end, after the herbs were ready, Zhou Mian applied them one by one.
The herbal medicine was originally irritating. After Zhou Mian applied the herbal medicine to Gu Xingzhi's wound, Gu Xingzhi twitched, his brows were furrowed, and his palms were desperately opened.
Seeing that Gu Xingzhi seemed to be suppressing some kind of pain, Yi Lun looked at his tightly pursed lips, then at his bloody hand that was desperately opened, took a deep breath and held it .
cold.
Yi Lun reached out to hold Gu Xingzhi's hand, but lowered his head, trying to bury it in his neck, and his shoulders twitched.
But Zhou Mian noticed that Yi Lun didn't cry either, in fact Yi Lun didn't cry from the beginning to the end.
Zhou Mian sighed and paid more attention to the wounds of the three patients.
Aeron just sat on the edge of the bed all night.
During this period, Zhou Mian kept asking the nurse to change the herbs, and the doctor was constantly making sure that the wound did not worsen.
But whether the wound gets worse or not, and whether the situation gets worse, doctors are not gods, and they can't control it.
"Dididi——"
One of the soldiers suddenly convulsed, and even the tube inserted into him fell off.
The soldier stared wide-eyed, opened his mouth to foam, then twitched... and lost his breath.
"drop--"
Everyone was stunned.
Not only the breathing stopped unexpectedly, but even the signs of life stopped unexpectedly. Now it's all right, and I don't even need first aid.
……
"Sure, sure enough!" one of the nurses screamed, "Hurry up and take the herbs off the major general and adjutant! That's harmful! It's harmful!"
There was a sudden chaos in the room, and the other nurse also panicked, and she was about to touch Gu Xingzhi with her hand.
"bump……!"
Cecil quickly stepped forward and kicked the nurse away, without showing mercy at all, he directly pulled out his gun and pointed at the screaming nurse, "Calm down!"
……
Suddenly there was a complete silence.
Cecil sneered and said, "I called for the best medical team this time. I didn't expect the nurses who came here to panic because of the death. What's the matter? Don't people die in your hospital? One death will cause chaos, right? ?ah?!"
Ford paused, and said in a low voice: "Sorry, it's just to train new blood. Every mission will bring one or two newcomers, which makes the general laugh."
Ford also felt ashamed, and gave the nurse a hard look, telling her to get out and wash her face, calm down.
"Yes, I'm sorry..." The nurse looked at Jiao Didi, and left with a face that was about to cry.
Ford shook his head and asked the doctor beside him, "Which department is in charge of it?"
"I don't know either...the new faces."
After that, everyone calmed down and collected the dead soldier's body under Ford's guidance.
Seeing the soldier being carried out covered with a layer of white cloth, Yi Lun bit his lower lip, closed his eyes and held Gu Xingzhi's hand tightly.
Zhou Mian stood aside, stuffed his cold hands into his trouser pockets and said calmly: "It's not because of the herbal medicine, but just like the other two soldiers who couldn't wait for rescue before, they couldn't hold on anymore. Everyone's physical function and The intensity is different, he is at the end, and the herbs can't save him."
Yi Lun muttered in a low voice: "Gu Xingzhi is not an ordinary person, he can..."
Although the medical team is very dissatisfied with Zhou Mian at the moment and has lost trust, Yi Lun still believes in Zhou Mian, and Cecil is still holding a pistol and standing against the wall, aggressive, no one dares to question it .
The atmosphere in the room was a little tense.
Just then, Cecil's terminal rang.
"Admiral."
It's Casper.
After listening to Casper's report, Cecil immediately frowned.
——Admiral Zhou’s use of herbs to treat patients has been exposed. Now that angry people are blocking the airport to demonstrate, the admiral must be careful.
Leaked?
Cecil opened the terminal to log in to Starnet.
[Hot] Admiral Zhou treated Major General Gu with herbal medicine
【shock! 】Admiral Zhou poisoned soldiers with herbs!
Sure enough, this is the source.
Cecil scanned a little and found that an account suddenly posted a video.
In the video, Zhou Mian was arguing with Ford, saying that his herbal medicine could save people. Then the video screen changed, and it was the soldier convulsing, and then the instrument showed that he had lost signs of life.
In less than a minute of video, a missile was directly dropped on the star network, causing everyone to panic.
{Did you see it? !Do you see it? !The bloody man behind the video is Major General Gu, and he also has medicinal herbs on him! }
{Will something happen to him after it's over!He can't have an accident!Neither Admiral Cecil nor Major General Gu will have any accidents!If something goes wrong, the Federation will collapse! }
{What happened to Admiral Zhou? !Is he an undercover agent sent by Binghe?Is he trying to kill Major General Gu! }
The public was worried that Young Master Gu would be killed and lost their minds.
{impossible!Look at Admiral Zhou's previous performance. He and Admiral Cecil have such a good relationship and are very nice people. This must be a misunderstanding!Maybe... maybe herbs really work? }
{You crazy CP party, Major General Gu’s life is in danger, and the Federation is at stake, so don’t be cute about CP at this time!If you are cute cp again, you will die! }
{The ones upstairs are going to die!Said it was the cp party?Admiral Zhou did really well before. You can see in the video that Admiral Cecil and His Royal Highness Yiren are obviously very supportive of Admiral Zhou! }
{Isn't that even more terrifying? !Those performances before were probably not to seduce Admiral Cecil. After winning the trust of the admiral, he began to harm the mainstay of the Federation!You see, it's all right now, the princes, generals and young marshals of the Federation are all pinched to death by him. }
{Are you alarmist?Now that the situation is not clear, he directly slandered Admiral Zhou?Admiral Zhou's character is obvious to all! }
{The situation is not clear enough?Admiral Zhou has already stuffed the harmful plants into Major General Gu's wound!I can't wait to kill him! }
There was a lot of quarrels on Xingwang. Some supported Zhou Mian, but most were opposed.
Or fear.
I am afraid that Zhou Mian will spread the cult-phytotherapy through these high-level officials, and I am afraid that Major General Gu and others will be poisoned by bad people.
It was also at this moment that Cecil realized a problem.
The table before Zhou Mian
