It is impossible for Xiao Wuye to take the initiative to tell the Gu Master that Xiao Zhenting's son is not his own son, this Gu Master can tell the identity of Yan Jiuchao so easily, it can be seen that he is prepared, Yan Jiuchao is the hardest stone in the capital, but it is also the fattest lamb, and the oil and water that can be squeezed out of him is comparable to pouring wealth and wealth.

One hundred thousand taels of gold, Yu Wan felt a lot of pain, obviously this money is not her own, why is it so distressing to spend it......

The Gu Master had a look of determination on his face, as if he was sure that Xiao Zhenting would buy it.

This is not difficult to guess, no matter how cold the relationship between father and son is on the surface, Xiao Zhenting did not hesitate to let his subordinates sneak into southern Xinjiang for the sake of Yan Jiuchao, and brought the Gu Master back to the capital at all costs.

"I'm not in a hurry, Generalissimo Xiao thinks about it slowly." Gu Master didn't mention Yan Jiuchao's illness for half a sentence, and he might not be able to wait.

Yu Wan secretly sighed, how is this Gu master's medical skills, but he is definitely a master in negotiation, he knows how to speculate on the psychology of the other party and make full use of the advantages, if necessary, he can stop in moderation, he understands that for Yan Jiuchao's illness, Xiao Zhenting is far more anxious than him, the more he doesn't speak, the more Xiao Zhenting has no idea in his heart, if he says it, it may be counterproductive.

Yu Wan looked at Xiao Zhenting, 100,000 taels of gold is not a small amount, and Xiao Fu is not a traitor, where did he come from to squander so much money? It's the rhythm of going bankrupt.

"How should I believe you can heal my son?" Xiao Zhenting said.

The Gu Master seemed to have expected him to have this suspicion, so he sneered and said, "It's late tonight, don't toss, tomorrow morning, I'll prove it to you!" ”

This night, Yu Wan rested in Xiao Mansion, and she was arranged to enter Wutong Courtyard.

This is a courtyard built for Yan Jiuchao, but Yan Jiuchao has never lived in it.

Before dawn the next day, Yu Wan got up, she didn't choose a bed, but she missed the three little guys.

The Gu Master slept until three o'clock in the morning before waking up, considering that he was tired of traveling and driving, this was normal.

Breakfast was still spent in the Gu Master's scolding, and after that, the group got into the carriage of Xiao Mansion and went to Lotus Village in a leisurely manner.

As soon as the three little guys saw Yu Wan, they threw themselves into Yu Wan's arms, and they didn't see each other all night, and they missed Yu Wan very much.

"Three children?" The Gu Master raised his eyebrows, a hint of novelty on his face.

The two disciples of the Gu Master also stared at the three little guys, with indescribable curiosity and surprise.

The third child is too rare, not to mention such a beautiful child, the young male disciple couldn't help but turn his eyes around the child, or the female disciple on the side touched him with her elbow and glared at him again, and then he looked away.

Yu Wan took the child out.

The Gu Master began to diagnose and treat Yan Jiuchao.

No one was allowed to watch the process of his diagnosis and treatment, except for his two disciples, even Shangguan Yan, the biological mother, was invited out, and about a quarter of an hour later, the door opened.

"Doctor, how is my son?" Shangguan Yan asked eagerly.

"Mrs. Xiao will go and see for herself." The Gu Master said confidently.

Shangguan Yan stepped into the house.

"Ahh

She screamed from within.

Xiao Zhenting flashed to the window: "What's wrong with Cong'er?" ”

Shangguan Yan said in disbelief: "He, he's awake!" ”

Although he couldn't speak, his eyes did open, and he was not satisfied with his dull eyes, his eyes were weak and forbearing, and he could see that he was experiencing unbearable pain, and Shangguan Yan cried distressedly.

Yan Jiuchao didn't wake up for long, closed his eyes and fell asleep.

This may not be a real awakening, but it made Shangguan Yan see a glimmer of hope for recovery, but 100,000 taels of gold is not so easy to take out, that is, she was born in a family and has a rich dowry, and she is far from being able to make up the 100,000 taels.

When Shangguan Yan was thinking about whether to sell the property under her name, Xiao Zhenting stroked her shoulder: "You take care of Cong'er, and the matter of the remuneration will be handed over to me." ”

"But ......"

"Cong'er is also my son."

From the first day he married you, he was.

Shangguan Yan nodded tearfully, she didn't say anything hypocritical, she didn't care about right or wrong, she only had one thought in her heart, that is, to save her son!

"Pay you half of the gratuity first, and if my son recovers, give you the other half." Xiao Zhenting said to the Gu Master.

The Gu Master had no opinion on this.

Xiao Zhenting said with a straight face: "You'd better be really cured, otherwise my Xiao Zhenting's remuneration won't be so easy to cheat!" ”

Gu Master raised his chin and said: "I know Generalissimo Xiao's ability, if I deceive you, you will definitely kill me at the ends of the earth, I won't ask for hardship, I do have a way to lift his poisonous curse, otherwise I won't boast to you about this Haikou." I also know that the amount of 100,000 taels of gold is too large, so I will give you three days to raise the reward, and I will guarantee that the poisonous curse in his body will not worsen during these three days. ”

Xiao Zhenting glanced at him steadily, got into the carriage and went home.

Three-day ...... Being a father can't wait so long.

Xiao Zhenting returned home, called the housekeeper to his house, and asked the housekeeper, "How much cash do we have in our hands?" ”

The housekeeper went to the account room to get the account book and abacus, calculated for a while, and said: "60,000 taels, this is from the house, counting the shop, there should be 200,000 taels." ”

Two hundred thousand taels of silver, that is, twenty thousand taels of gold, is too little.

"Spend first." Xiao Zhenting said.

The housekeeper was stunned: "All, all?" ”

Xiao Zhenting said: "All of them, I want them immediately." ”

The housekeeper opened his mouth to ask something, but in the end he didn't say a word, and went to the account room with his abacus.

"Erlang!"

Xiao Zhenting was counting his treasury, a richly dressed woman walked in angrily, a maid chased her tremblingly, came to the door, and saluted Xiao Zhenting: "The eldest lady must come in, we didn't stop ......"

"Got it, you go down first." Xiao Zhenting said to the maid.

The maid bowed back.

Mrs. Xiao crossed the threshold and entered the house coldly.

Xiao Zhenting asked: "I heard that my sister-in-law had a headache, but is she getting better?" ”

Mrs. Xiao sneered: "You still have my sister-in-law in your heart, when I am Erlang, you have no one in your eyes, and you don't take my sister-in-law in your eyes at all!" ”

"What did my sister-in-law say?" Xiao Zhenting said.

Mrs. Xiao said angrily: "Don't go around the bend with me!" I just heard that you want to take all the cash in the house, what are you going to do? ”

"There won't be a few less monthly bills." Xiao Zhenting said.

Mrs. Xiao choked, and said again: "Am I worried about my monthly money?" I want to ask you, what are you doing to get all the money out of the house? ”

"I'm in a hurry." Xiao Zhenting said.

Mrs. Xiao sneered: "What is urgent? Tell me honestly, are you planning to treat that sick seedling again? How much money are you going to throw in this time? You don't hurt the blood of the Xiao family, you have to hurt an outsider! How? Co-author he is your own person? None of us?! ”

Xiao Zhenting sighed: "Sister-in-law, I didn't say that. ”

Mrs. Xiao said angrily: "But that's what you did!" What you said is good, you will raise Yan'er personally, so that Yan'er will inherit the Xiao family in the future, what is the result? Yan'er, he's dead! My son is dead! He's the one you want to die! It wasn't you who sent him to the border, he's fine now! I can't hear him call me mother! It's all your fault! Xiao Zhenting, you are the one who harmed you! ”

Xiao Yan's death was a blow to the entire Xiao family, Mrs. Xiao didn't dare to complain, because Xiao Yan sacrificed his life for the country, in Xiao Yan's own words, he died well, but for Mrs. Xiao, she not only lost a son, but also lost the huge property of the Xiao family.

Xiao Zhenting was also very sad about Xiao Yan's death, but if he was asked to do it all over again, he would still do it, Xiao Yan belonged to the battlefield, he was a natural general, he got the list of fine works, he selected the most suitable person, and he ended the battle of the Huns.

He is the pride of the Northwest Battalion, and he is also the pride of Xiao Zhenting.

No one can escape death, and if he is allowed to choose, he also hopes that he can die on the battlefield.

Xiao Zhenting looked coldly in the direction of Mrs. Xiao: "Come on, Mrs. Xiao is tired, help Mrs. go back to the room to rest." ”

Immediately, two maids stepped forward and said to Mrs. Xiao, "Madame, please." ”

Mrs. Xiao was angry, strictly speaking, her husband Xiao Dalang was the eldest son of Mrs. Xiao, but Xiao Dalang had no interest, he couldn't support the Xiao family, and he always caused trouble for the Xiao family, and he almost let the old lady out of the house several times, or Xiao Zhenting interceded for the eldest brother, so that the old lady was angry.

Mrs. Xiao used to get along with Xiao Zhenting quite well, after all, Xiao Zhenting has no children, and everything he will do in the future will be her son's, so it will be hers, but since Xiao Yan's death, this balance has been broken.

Mrs. Xiao wanted to say something, and let the maid drag her out.

Xiao Zhenting returned to the house with a solemn expression.

The housekeeper took the bookkeeper in the house, spent a whole day counting all the shops under the name of the Xiao family in the capital, and returned to Xiao Zhenting in the evening: "Master, counting the ones that can be pawned, a total of 20,000 taels of gold." ”

Not enough, far from enough.

Xiao Zhenting was silent.

The housekeeper said: "That Gu Master's remuneration is too much, where can anyone say 100,000 gold?" It's better to ...... with him again Talk about? ”

The housekeeper bit the word "talk".

Xiao Zhenting understood what he meant, shook his head and denied his proposal.

The head of the family sighed, the master is good at everything, it's just a tendon, this thing is done by a villain, it's much simpler, don't give it a cure? Heheda, the top ten tortures to understand?

Of course, the housekeeper is just angry, thinking about it this way, if he really gets to that point, he still doesn't dare to gamble with Yan Jiuchao's life, Gu Master Medicine can heal people or kill people, it is not something that can be easily offended.

"You go down first, and I'll think of a way."

"That'...... I'm going to see if there's anything else in the house that can be pawned? ”

Xiao Zhenting paused and nodded: "Okay." ”

The butler sighed and went out.

Xiao Zhenting came to his armory, he was a rough man, he didn't know how to recite poetry, in order to cater to Shangguan Yan's taste, he pretended to build a study, but what was really used was this cold armory.

Pushing open the door of the house, the breath of cold iron came to his face, which made Xiao Zhenting feel very relieved.

Xiao Zhenting came to a pair of silver armor, this is armor made of dark iron, twice as heavy as ordinary armor, he will wear it every time he goes out, Xiao Yan likes it very much, and he comes to touch it if he has nothing to do.

This is the silver armor of the god of war.

Xiao Yan didn't say it, but he always wanted it in his heart.

originally planned to wait for Xiao Yan to return, so he passed this silver armor to him.

Xiao Zhenting raised his hand, touched the silver armor that had accompanied him for half his life, and slowly closed his eyes.

……

On the afternoon of the second day, Xiao Zhenting took 50,000 taels of golden tickets and set off for Lotus Village.

Originally, the Gu master wanted to bring Yan Jiuchao back to Xiao Mansion for treatment, but the food in Xiao Mansion was too unpalatable, far less than the uncle's cooking skills, and the Gu master ate a meal of braised pork and stinky tofu, so he stayed and didn't want to leave.

Two of his disciples also lived in the Ding family's new house, and they only said that they were invited to the famous doctors of the rivers and lakes for Wan Gongzi.

Gu Master's daily routine is to eat and eat, eat stinky tofu and braised pork, eat snail noodles after eating braised pork, what is spicy to eat, the uncle has nothing else to do for a day, but cooks for him.

He didn't go out, but the two apprentices couldn't hold it up, especially the female apprentice, I heard that she was a powerful Gu girl, she loved to go to the back mountains the most, Yu Wan had met her several times digging wild vegetables, she was digging some insects and wild herbs.

In the afternoon of this day, she did not go to the back mountain to dig insects, but carried a bucket to the ancient well at the entrance of the village.

The Gu girl's appearance is very beautiful, but her expression is cold, she looks like she is thousands of miles away, the villagers rarely come forward to talk to her, when she went to the ancient well, Aunt Zhang was fetching water, and when she saw her carrying a bucket, she said kindly: "I'll come, I'll come!" ”

Aunt Zhang said and went to grab her wooden barrel, but she coldly slapped Aunt Zhang's hand away.

Aunt Zhang was stunned.

Aunt Bai, who was washing clothes on the side, was not happy: "Hey, girl, people are kind enough to help you fetch water, if you don't appreciate it, don't beat people!" ”

Isn't? The back of Aunt Zhang's hand was red.

Aunt Zhang smiled and said, "It's okay, it's okay, maybe I scared the girl." ”

"Does she look like she's scared?" Aunt Bai muttered.

Aunt Zhang gave her a look and whispered: "This is a doctor for Wan Gongzi, don't offend people." ”

Aunt Bai snorted, helped Aunt Zhang lift a bucket of water, and sent it back to Aunt Zhang's house with Aunt Zhang.

After the two of them rubbed shoulders with the Gu Girl, a cold light flashed in the Gu Girl's eyes, and with a movement of her palm, there was already an extra Gu worm on her fingertips.

"What are you going to do?" A bare hand clasped Gu Girl's wrist through the sleeve.

The Gu girl turned her head and saw that it was Yu Wan, and her eyes were cold.

Yu Wan glanced at the little thing she was holding between her index and middle fingers, and raised her eyebrows: "This is a Gu worm?" You dig up so many bugs every day, that's what you use to refine this? ”

The Gu girl looked at Yu Wan coldly and motioned for Yu Wan to let go.

Yu Wan smiled faintly and said, "They are all innocent villagers, even if you accidentally surprise you, you don't need to give them Gu, right?" ”

What did the Gu girl say when she opened her mouth, Yu Wan guessed that she meant to let her go, Yu Wan said: "It's okay if you want me to let go, but you are not allowed to play Gu to people casually." ”

If she doesn't agree with each other, she will go down to Gu, this heart is too small, if she uses Gu worms to deal with the enemy, Yu Wan will never say anything, but Aunt Zhang and Aunt Bai are both simple and good villagers, this method is a little too vicious.

Yu Wan said with a straight face: "I know you can understand the Central Plains dialect, I will say it again one last time, you are not allowed to play Gu to the people in the village!" ”

The Gu girl glared at Yu Wan viciously, trying to pull out her hand, but found that she couldn't move no matter what, and this village girl's hand was like an iron tong!

Yu Wan looked at her steadily: "Do you understand?" Nod your head when you understand! ”

The Gu girl nodded indignantly.

Yu Wan let go, filled the bucket with water, and carried it back to her house with a flat pole.

In the evening, Xiao Zhenting arrived at the village.

Gu Master was already eating the first plate of stinky tofu, and raised his head with an oily face: "It's here so soon?" Have you all the gold? ”

Xiao Zhenting put the brocade box on his table.

The Gu master put down his chopsticks, opened the brocade box, and counted carefully, fifty thousand taels of golden tickets, one is not much, and one is not much.

"Hmm." He raised an eyebrow and accepted the brocade box with satisfaction.

Xiao Zhenting asked, "Can you treat my son now?" ”

"No hurry, no hurry." The Gu Master touched his chin and said slowly.

Xiao Zhenting and Shangguan Yan's brows furrowed together, and they said in unison: "What's the matter?" ”

The Gu Master sighed, "My apprentice's Gu worm was originally used to treat your son's illness, but now it is dying. ”

The implication is that your son may not be saved.

"How so?" Shangguan Yan asked.

At this time, Yu Wan walked in with a bowl of boiled spicy cabbage dumplings.

As soon as she entered, she felt two malicious eyes fall on her, and when she looked up, she saw that the Gu girl was looking at her with a smug face.

This expression is to engage in four emotions......

"Maybe it's not adaptable." Gu Master Dao.

"But it's not without a remedy." The Gu Master pointed at the Gu girl, "My apprentice's Gu worm, fed with the blood of the Extreme Yin, may be able to bring the dead back to life." ”

The blood of the extreme yin? So it's a woman's blood? Shangguan Yan rolled up her sleeves: "Is it okay with mine?" ”

The Gu Master shook his head and looked at Yu Wan behind the two: "Hers, it's okay." ”
