Transmigrating To Ancient Times With A Kitchen

503  Caught At Last

The sweat on General Song's face increased as he explained, "I-I bought it when I invaded the Dongyue Kingdom. The seller was a 60-year-old man who set up a stall on the street. At that time, he only said that it had a miraculous effect on repelling beasts. I thought that we would inevitably enter the mountains during the war, and those beasts would be a great danger to us. I prepared some medicine to be prepared. It's best if it works, but it's fine if it doesn't. General, you are wise. I really didn't know that it attracted beasts. If I knew, I would never have bought it!"

As he spoke, he seemed to have found a flaw. He suddenly raised his head and stared at Military Doctor Wu. He forced him to ask, "Military Doctor Wu, since you said that it's a secret medicine of the southern border, how did you know about it? Could it be that you have mistaken the medicine or that you were instructed by someone to slander me?"

Military Doctor Wu pulled a long face and said, "General Song, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want. Do you have evidence that someone instigated you? As for the secret medicine, I'm confident that I can tell you. Those two medicines only exist in the South Border. Ordinary doctors have only heard of them, but they don't know that the two medicines are conflicting. However, my master once knew a witch doctor in the South Border Tribe. That witch doctor told my master about many special medicines in the South Border. Once, when he was drunk, he accidentally mentioned the prescription of that secret medicine. Two of the medicines are Snake Spirit and Xuma. In addition, they specially refined Gu worms and Gu medicines. However, Gu worms are difficult to refine and Gu medicines are difficult to make. Snake Spirit Herb and Xuma are also difficult to find, so they become secret medicines. No old man on the street can take out this medicine and sell it."

General Song's lips turned pale. He did not expect that Military Doctor Wu would recognize this medicine and be able to accurately tell the medicinal properties!

Knowing that the situation was hopeless, General Song gritted his teeth and pushed away the soldiers who were trapping him.

However, after running a few steps, something hit his calf and he fell to the ground. His knees and hands were a bloody mess.

He scrambled to escape in fear, but he was surrounded by the soldiers who had caught up.

"Escort him back to the Capital!" Ming Zhiyan said coldly.

The chief cook said in fear, "General, please be clear. This really has nothing to do with me. It's all that thief who lied to me. On the first day, he came over and said that he wanted me to light the fire in advance to expel the insects. At that time, he had been surrounding the stove. I didn't notice that he had put something in. Then today, when he saw that I was injured, he said that he would help me burn the insect-repelling herb. I really didn't know that he actually had such evil intentions! If I had known earlier, I would have definitely taken him down!"

The chief cook was almost scared to death when he heard that. He did not expect General Song to have such evil intentions. He thought that he was a warm-hearted person and wanted to give him more food at night!

Moreover, when he thought about how General Song had been coming here for the past few days, he panicked even more. Could that villain have hidden something here?

The chief cook quickly reported the situation to Ming Zhiyan, hoping that he could make up for his mistake.

"We'll deal with your mistake when we get back to the Capital," Ming Zhiyan said with a frown.

Then, he looked at General Song and asked, "What have you been doing in the kitchen these past few days?"

General Song knew that he could not escape, so he straightened his neck and did not say anything.

Vice General Zhong frowned and threatened, "There's always a way to make you say it. It depends on whether you want to drink a toast or a forfeit. You know that our General has never been lenient towards traitors."
