Falling in Love Online with an Ancient General-Chapter 80: The Divine Doctor Feng Kang

Feng Qingyi: "I signed up because I've learned martial arts."

"With those skinny arms and legs of yours, you don't look like you've learned anything," Shen Hanyue expressed his doubt.

She had already completed 30% of her intermediate martial arts course. For the past three months, barring special circumstances, she had been studying for two hours every day.

Her skills were not to be underestimated now, and she was confident about handling an ordinary college competition.

"You'll see when the time comes. As for you, if you have time during this period, you can go to the martial arts club and train with everyone else."

Shen Hanyue: "Qingyi, actually, I'm not as weak as you imagine. In high school, I even pinned down the boys in my class. It's not a big deal!"

Feng Qingyi didn't take Shen Hanyue's words seriously. After all, when she carried water to the dormitory on a daily basis, she was out of breath by the fourth floor.

As for the martial arts competition, if she really had to participate, it would be better to let her concede early to avoid getting hurt.

In the western part of Shengjing.

Qin Yuchuan and Na Muqi stood by the Qingxi River, looking at the clear stream water, lost in thought.

"General, all the doctors have examined it. There's no poison in the water. As for where the poison was administered, we still don't have any results."

"According to the doctors' observations, the process from poisoning and coma to death was very peaceful. This symptom is unheard of."

"Many people are preparing to leave and seek refuge. If we can't find an antidote soon, I'm afraid Shengjing will be in chaos."

"Some people are even spreading rumors that the poison is contagious, and soon Shengjing will become a ghost town."

Qin Yuchuan frowned, "Have the doctors observe the symptoms carefully. Send people to investigate what those who were poisoned ate or used before falling into a coma. We must find the source quickly."

"Also, take this token to the Five Elements Medical Hall and say I need to find Fukang. Ask him to come to the west side of the city."

Na Muqi took the token, "Fukang? General, do you mean that divine doctor?"

"The situation is serious now, we can only ask him to come out. But I don't know if he's in Tianqi now," Qin Yuchuan was rarely anxious.

All the doctors in Shengjing were already here. If he hadn't come, it could only mean he wasn't in Shengjing. Hopefully, he hadn't gone out traveling, otherwise, there wouldn't be enough time.

Those imperial physicians in the palace, although knowledgeable and well-versed in medical books, only knew how to follow the textbook.

As for those doctors in Shengjing's medical halls, they were even less skilled compared to the imperial physicians. If we had to rely on them, who knows when they would be able to develop an antidote.

Na Muqi: "I'll go to the Five Elements Medical Hall right away to inquire about Divine Doctor Fukang's whereabouts."

Qin Yuchuan looked at the crowd in the distance. They all showed fear on their faces. In the past few days, more than a dozen people had died.

Few people can remain calm in the face of death. If it weren't for the guarding soldiers, these civilians might have already become restless.

The imperial physicians had tried their best and only managed to develop a medicine to delay death within three days.

If an antidote isn't developed soon, the number of deaths will increase dramatically.

He had also sent people to nearby towns to find doctors, hoping to resolve this matter quickly.

But those doctors who claimed to save the world and help people fled quickly when they heard they had to go to Shengjing, afraid of being contaminated by the troubles there.

Qin Yuchuan looked at the gurgling stream, trying to calm himself down.

It's human nature to seek benefits and avoid harm. He shouldn't harbor resentment towards them.

Qin Yuchuan rarely had time to take out his phone and look at his chat history with Feng Qingyi.

Since being sent to investigate the poisoning incident, they had exchanged only a few words each day.

She seemed to be very good at detecting the other person's state from the text, neither disturbing nor asking too much, extremely understanding.

Now that he had time, he should explain to her.

[Yuchuan: I've encountered some tricky issues recently that need to be dealt with, and I've neglected you. I'm sorry.]

[Yuchuan: After things are resolved, I'll take you to see the red maples in the suburbs.]

[Qingyi: Red maples? By the time you're free, the leaves will probably have fallen.]

[Yuchuan: Then I'll take you to see the winter snow and cold plum blossoms.]

[Qingyi: Alright. Although I don't know what you're dealing with, since you said it's tricky, it must not be easy to resolve. Take care of yourself.]

[Yuchuan: Mm.]

[Yuchuan: The weather is getting cooler. Take care of yourself and don't get sick.]

[Qingyi: You too. I have to go to class now!]

[Yuchuan: Okay.]

After finishing the brief chat with Feng Qingyi, Yan Chi was already walking towards him.

"General, according to the coroner's examination, the poison that Qiu Tongfu was affected by has the same symptoms as the poison affecting these civilians in the west of the city."

"In the prison cell, apart from the iron chains and walls, the only thing he could come into contact with was the food."

"The food in the prison cells is all the same, but only he was poisoned. It seems someone must have added something to his food."

Qin Yuchuan noticed Yan Chi's mention of food, "Check the food of every household here."

If the poison was in the food, logically everyone in a family should be poisoned, but the current situation is not like this.

Most of those poisoned are young and strong people, while the elderly are rarely poisoned. Why is this?

"I will send people to investigate right away," Yan Chi responded.

In Shengjing, on Changning Street.

At the Five Elements Medical Hall, Na Muqi, holding Qin Yuchuan's token, found the only manager in the hall.

"I'm here to find Divine Doctor Fukang! Do you know where he is?"

The manager looked at the jade pendant in Na Muqi's hand, "The young master is traveling around. At this moment, I don't know where he is."

"But since you've come with the jade pendant, I will send someone to inform the young master. May I ask why you're looking for him?"

Na Muqi: "It's about the matter in the west of the city."

"You were sent by General Qin!" The manager said, "Sir, please return. I will send a message to the young master, but as for when he'll return, I don't know."

Na Muqi bowed to the manager, "Thank you. If Divine Doctor Fukang returns, please ask him to go to the west of the city. We would be extremely grateful."

After Na Muqi left, the manager of the Five Elements Medical Hall hurriedly wrote a letter and sent someone to find Fukang as fast as possible.

Fukang was a disciple of the master of Divine Doctors Valley, and his abilities surpassed those of his teacher. At the age of thirty, he was already renowned throughout the world.

People seeking his medical treatment were as numerous as fish crossing a river, but he was an extremely willful person.

He was only willing to treat those he felt a connection with, regardless of money or social status.

Once, someone offered ten thousand taels of gold for his consultation, which he disdained. Yet, there were also those who couldn't offer even one tael of silver, whom he still went to treat.

Even the manager of the Five Elements Medical Hall, who was said to be Fukang's most trusted person, couldn't quite figure out the ways of this divine doctor.

Besides his superb medical skills, Fukang was also highly proficient in the use of poisons. This was a major reason why he could be so willful and flamboyant without anyone daring to cross him.

Offending a physician, especially one who excelled in both medicine and poisons, could lead to an inadvertent death at his hands. No one would be willing to take such a risk.
