Heatstroke is a common disease. Heavy-duty workers exposed to the scorching sun can suffer from dizziness, fever, and even death.
Under today's special weather, a few lowly servants might fall down, but it would never be possible for them to fall down in batches like now.
"Everyone, be quiet!"
"Stop, camp, and treat the injured!"
"Other personnel are on alert!"
When the servants and guards collapsed from heat stroke, the head of the Fan family jumped to a high place and roared.
This man, who looked more like a blacksmith than a wealthy businessman, had a thunderous and powerful voice that covered the entire caravan.
The original wails, exclamations, and screams became silent, and those who could still move began to take action.
"Yang Guang, take the people to guard together, don't let Xiao Xiao succeed." Chu Qianqiu fell from a height and found no ambush or signs of bandits, so he gave the order casually.
"Yes, sir!" Yang Guang immediately led people to help rescue people.
There was tension in the crowd, and they seemed particularly impatient under the scorching sun. If an enemy took the opportunity to launch an attack, they would definitely achieve good results.
But the people on alert did not see an enemy.
Chu Qianqiu first put his ears to the ground and listened to the sounds around him, but found no clues at all, so he had to stand up and call out:
"Qingchai, come with me and check if someone has poisoned you."
"Yes, sir!"
The officer sent by Li Renying to command the soldiers was Qingchai, who was the best at conspiracy. Although his hidden poison technique was not as good as that of his elder sister, he was still an extremely useful tool. Chu Qianqiu was going to Beijing, so he naturally took him with him.

"Sir, it seems like it's really just heat stroke."
Most of the disciples of the Hundred Gu Sect are experts in playing voodoos. It is basically impossible to hide whether they have been poisoned or not.
If you can evade their methods, the cost will be so high that it will be a waste.
"Have you ever seen so many warriors suffer from heatstroke at the same time?" Chu Qianqiu pointed at the servants who fainted on the ground.
The number of fallen guards and servants is still increasing.
In less than a quarter of an hour, more than a hundred servants lost their combat effectiveness.
"Namo Amitabha."
Master Yuanjue recited the Buddha's name again, and the golden light shone to ward off the heatstroke of the fallen servants and monk soldiers. Each of them required a large amount of infuriating energy.
"Master Yuanjue, please accept this elixir." Chu Qianqiu's face turned pale when he saw Master Yuanjue, and he took out a [Green Dew Rejuvenation Pill] produced by Yaowang Sect from his pocket, which can quickly replenish the vitality.
The restoration is of high quality and low price, only 800 taels of silver each.
For some innate masters, it is a necessary medicine.
"Amitabha, thank you so much, Master Chu." Master Yuanjue nodded. There were too many patients now, and he was also struggling.
What he practices is the Guangming Sutra, the supreme treasure of Guangming Temple. It has a certain therapeutic effect, but it is not a specialized treatment method. It naturally consumes a huge amount of energy.
As a result, before Master Yuanjue could confiscate it, Fan Yuxuan, the eldest lady of the Fan family and an acquaintance of Chu Qianqiu, ran over and shouted:
"Master Chu, how can I use your elixir?"
"Master Yuanjue, I have Green Dew Rejuvenation Pills here." Fan Yuxuan couldn't bear to let Chu Qianqiu spend the money, so she took out the pill herself and gave it to Master Yuanjue.
"Miss Fan, you don't have to be polite. The mage also needs to prepare more elixirs."
Chu Qianqiu placed it directly in the hands of Master Yuanjue. Master Yuanjue took the elixir orally, and his pale face instantly improved a bit, and he began to treat the patient again.
Fan Yuxuan also left the elixir, and then hurriedly ordered her subordinates to bring ice salt water to the people suffering from heatstroke. Of course, the water was not for them to drink, but for people to help cool down the patients.
I saw a few guards bringing buckets of water, and the warm water turned into ice water in an instant.
The caravan was busy, but Chu Qianqiu was the one who was free. He did not doubt it, and directly grabbed Fan Yuxuan and asked:
"Miss Fan, has the Fan family ever offended anyone?"
"Better check the camp's food, who cooked it last night."
Chu Qianqiu was cautious in doing things. The food in the Li camp was separated from the Fan family. In addition, the people he brought this time were all Li people. Unless the enemy was very powerful and could plant spies among the Li people, there would be no way to do it secretly.
.
"Dad has sent people to investigate and found that the cook for last night's dinner was missing." Fan Yuxuan did not hide anything and directly told the result.
"It's true that the person who came here is evil. What a powerful poisoning method."
Chu Qianqiu sneered.
The Fan family is not a fool, and the Fan family's caravan is not a fool.
They will go through three procedures before eating, namely silver needles, poison test strips, and food tasting by diners.
Under these three procedures, it is guaranteed to the greatest extent that people will not be drugged with sweating pills, intoxicants, poisons, etc.
Traveling in the world is all about caution.
The Fan family is rich in gold and silver. The family has a large business and supports countless customers. Among them are customers who specialize in [detoxification], [deworming] and other specialties. Their jobs are well paid, and they specialize in verifying for the master's family.
Poisonous.
There are so many protective measures, and the fact that people with heatstroke can even be experienced by [New Innate] masters only shows that the other party is a top poison master.
Chu Qianqiu also used medicine before, but the poisons he used were all bought. He was not an expert in using medicine. He could only be a true expert if he could poison the Fan family silently according to the situation of the Fan family.
"Master Chu, I am afraid that the Fan family will cause trouble to you this time, so please leave first." The head of the Fan family suddenly appeared and said with a heavy face.
"Dad, who did it?" Fan Yuxuan asked eagerly, having never seen her father like this.
"Master Fan, don't worry. In this bright and clear world, Chu wants to see who is using such despicable methods!" Chu Qianqiu smiled, not minding getting involved in this dispute at all.
Anyway, he can escape at any time, and without resorting to martial arts masters, he has nothing to fear.
"Lord Chu, Gao Yi, if there is anything in the caravan that you like, you can take it as you wish." The head of the Fan family felt grateful, but he never thought that the items in the caravan were already lying quietly in the cellar of the Chu family, waiting to be used to reward the soldiers.
.
Chu Qianqiu waved his hand and said:
"Master Fan, you don't have to be polite. If you have any clues, just tell them."
"Hey, if I'm not wrong, this unpredictable poisoning method is probably the abandoned disciple of the Medicine King Sect [Master Baidu]."
"Master Baidu?" Chu Qianqiu asked doubtfully.
"Lord Chu, you don't know something. There was a true successor of the King of Medicine Sect who was good at fighting poison with poison and treating diseases with poison. He had unpredictable abilities, and his medical skills and alchemy skills were among the best for a while."
"Unexpectedly, this man has a wicked heart and is extremely greedy for money. He often exploits the patient's bones and sucks out the marrow. He even deliberately leaves hidden diseases and secretly poisons the patient during treatment, so that the patient's illness will linger and the family will be ruined."
"Later, his method of treating diseases was discovered by the eminent monks of the Medicine Buddha Hall, and he had to flee everywhere, eventually becoming a tyrant in the world."
"Master Baidu is indeed vicious and sinister, but why is Patriarch Fan so sure it's him?" Chu Qianqiu asked doubtfully, this world is huge, the world is huge, and there are many poison masters, why is Patriarch Fan so sure?
?
"Because of rumors in the world, Master Baidu became the lackey of the Tang family."
"Is it the Tang family from Fengzhou?"
"Yes, the Tang family is also one of the eight imperial merchants. They have some disputes with the Fan family."
The head of the Fan family said with some bitterness.
