Chapter 57: The Flying Ghouls
"Head, there are so many of us, why don't we go together? They must not be our opponents. www.biquge.info"A group of men in black strolled along the official road on horseback, and one of them seemed to be very indignant.
"Do you know who the man is standing in the way?" The man in black who walked in front asked.
"This ...... The subordinates really don't know. A man in black in the back lowered his tone.
"He is the 'white-clothed general' Xue Rengui who accompanied the first emperor on his expedition to Goguryeo and single-handedly took the head of the Goguryeo general." After speaking, the leader breathed a sigh of relief, as if it was a matter of course to lose in the hands of Xue Rengui and Zhu Mingyang just now.
"He, he's Xue Rengui?" The man in black in the back seemed to be taken aback.
"I look at the jade pendant with the word 'Xue' on his belt, there are several people in the entire Chang'an City who have such high skills, I will be defeated if I don't make a move, plus the martial arts instruction to that young man just now, makes me even more convinced that he is Xue Rengui." The man in black in the lead said firmly.
"It is said that last time Xue Rengui shot Ashina with an arrow in the woods, I didn't expect that Ashina usually boasts of strong martial arts, but he can't dodge Xue Rengui's arrow, fortunately he stopped us just now, otherwise we will definitely suffer." The man in black in the back was indignant at first, but now he felt that the man in black in the lead had made a wise choice.
"Hey...... It's just that we should explain to the Lord when we go back. The leading man in black stared into the distance and sighed.
"Lord, my mission has failed, please punish the Lord!" In front of the hall, a man in black knelt on the ground, his head bowed. The head was low, and the forehead even touched the ground.
"Hmm!" A man's hoarse voice came from the other side of the curtain, small but like a voice from hell.
"Lord, this matter is the failure of one of the subordinates, please punish the Lord, not the others." The man in black in front of the hall tried his best to calm down, but his voice couldn't hide the fear in his heart.
"Hmm!" There was still an "um" on the other side of the curtain, and there seemed to be no more language, but this "um" was a little more murderous than the first "um".
"Ahh It wasn't until a severed finger fell in front of the hall that the black-clothed man found that half of his index finger was left, and a heartache made him make a heart-rending sound, and he didn't even see what kind of weapon was used on the side of the curtain.
"Go down, bandage well! I remember that you have followed me for many years, and I will not mention this matter of loyalty again. I'll assign someone else to carry out the task. The curtain finally spoke, and there was no majesty in his voice just now, and there was even some warmth.
"Thank you, Lord!" The man in black spat out four words vigorously, picked up half of his fingers on the ground and retreated.
Early in the morning, Zhu Mingyang practiced swordsmanship in the backyard as usual. Maybe Xu Yueer's "iron-blooded policy" is right, although her martial arts are not very good, but her physique is surprisingly good. In the past, I used to sweat profusely when I ran a few laps with my students in school, but now I feel much stronger. Thinking of this, Zhu Mingyang felt a little grateful to Xu Yue'er.
"Zhu Gongzi, good skills!" Just as Zhu Mingyang was devoted, Zhang Yajiu walked out of the house.
"Senpai!" Zhu Mingyang saw that Zhang Yajiu's expression seemed to be a little more joyful today.
"Childe, I'm here to bid farewell to Childe today." Zhang Yajiu was smiling, since Zhu Mingyang met Zhang Yajiu, he had never seen Zhang Yajiu smile so calmly.
"I've only lived in the past few days, and my predecessor is going to resign? Has Aani's senpai's illness been cured? Zhu Mingyang asked suspiciously.
"In the past few days, thanks to Zhu Gongzi's take-in, coupled with Miss Cuicui's daily care, Ani's illness has been controlled, and these are the results of relying on Gongzi." Zhang Yajiu kept praising Zhu Mingyang.
"Senior, what a courtesy. It's just that Ah Ni's predecessors still need ginseng support, and I'm afraid of relapse after the seniors leave! Zhu Mingyang thought that Zhang Yajiu had told him that this strange disease should be used to prolong his life with ginseng.
"That's why I came to say goodbye to Childe. Yesterday, when I was shopping for ginseng on the street, I heard someone mention the same disease as Ani, they called it 'flying ghoul scrofula', and the sick person would feel that there were "ghosts" living in his body, and he would cough up blood like Ani in severe cases. Zhang Yajiu told Zhu Mingyang about what he inquired about from the street.
"Cough? Coughing up blood? It's 'tuberculosis'. Zhu Mingyang thought of tuberculosis, and a trace of surprise flashed in his heart, because he understood that this disease was contagious.
"'Tuberculosis?' They didn't say this, but they said that there was a famous doctor in Huayuan County, not far from here, who was good at treating all kinds of diseases, and would help people diagnose and treat the strange disease of 'flying ghouls'. So I'm going to take Ani to this famous doctor for help. Zhang Yajiu said with expectation.
"Senior, although the journey is not far, please take care, I will let Cuicui prepare a little money to help the seniors on the road." Zhu Mingyang saw that Zhang Yajiu had found a way to diagnose and treat Ani, and the big stone in his heart was also put down.
"So, thank you so much, Childe! When Ani is cured, I will bring her to thank her in person. Zhang Yajiu made a deep sigh.
"Senior, take care!" Zhu Mingyang stepped forward and held Zhang Yajiu's hand tightly.
As soon as Zhang Yajiu left, Zhu Mingyang came to Cuicui's room, because he knew that the disease of tuberculosis was contagious, and Cuicui's care of Ah Ni for so long really made Zhu Mingyang feel uneasy. When Zhu Mingyang saw Cuicui, Cuicui was sewing new clothes for Zhu Mingyang, and Zhu Mingyang sat down opposite Cuicui.
"Zhu Gongzi, if you don't go to practice martial arts, why did you come here, aren't you afraid of Sister Xu?" Cuicui was surprised to see Zhu Mingyang running to her room during the time of martial arts training.
"Cuicui, let me ask you, do you feel unable to lift your breath, cough, fever, chest tightness and the like?" Zhu Mingyang remembered some symptoms of tuberculosis.
"Brother Zhu, what are you talking about? But the symptoms you mentioned seem to have all of them. Cuicui saw Zhu Mingyang asking like this, but she was full of doubts.
"Are you really okay?" Zhu Mingyang didn't seem at ease and continued to ask.
"Brother Zhu! Cuicui's body is fine, but Brother Zhu should not only remember to practice for a day, take a good rest, and pay attention to his body. After Cuicui finished speaking, she took out a champa and wiped the sweat beads from Zhu Mingyang's forehead.
"That's good, that's good!" Zhu Mingyang looked at his ruddy face, his heart finally calmed down, and he stammered and replied.
"I don't know why you're so weird today, Brother Zhu! Have you broken your brain by practicing martial arts? Cuicui is the second monk who is confused.
"Then I'll let you see if I'm in the wrong head." After speaking, Zhu Mingyang smiled evilly and threw himself at Cuicui......
