Chapter 163 A Large Reward Offered for Finding Doctor Hua

The next morning, Xiao Xuance and Yun Zhaoxue went downstairs. Yang's cold had subsided, and they prepared to go find Zhuiying and the others.

She had arranged a quiet courtyard for Xiao Xuance to have surgery on his leg today.

Several tables were set up in the inn's lobby, where the escorts and others were already having breakfast.

When Zhao Jiu saw her, he smiled and went up to her, taking out a bag of silver from his pocket. "Princess, this is the silver for selling the wolves. Two taels of silver per wolf, split 50/50. There are 15 wolves in total, so it's 15 taels. You can count them."

"I trust Master Liao and Brother Zhao's character, no need to count." Yun Zhaoxue was about to take it when suddenly a large hand was faster than her, snatching the money bag before handing it to her.

Xiao Xuance had already moved forward half a step, using half of his body to shield Yun Zhaoxue from Zhao Jiu's view.

"Princess, are you having breakfast or going out? There are no extra tables. If you don't mind, you can share a table with us."

Xiao Xuance replied coldly, "No need!"

Old Liao gave them a day to rest and they would set off again tomorrow morning. Some people had already gone out and left the inn after saying goodbye to Old Liao.

Xiao Xuance pulled Yun Zhaoxue away in front of everyone, only letting go of her when they reached the main street.

He said, "He has ill intentions towards you, so avoid contact with him in private in the future."

"You mean he likes me? Princess Renben's beauty is one of the best in the capital. There are plenty of people who like me, so I don't need him."

“You are a married woman now, and it’s shameless of him to covet you.” A murderous glint flashed in Xiao Xuance’s eyes.

"Everyone has a love for beauty. Shen Qingyu also has feelings for you, doesn't he? That's normal. I don't like him. He's not as good-looking as you."

When Xiao Xuance heard her praise him, his brows relaxed, his lips curled up slightly, and his hands, which were hanging at his sides, tightened. "Then... do you like it?"

I won't tell you.

Yun Zhaoxue shook him off and walked forward, where she saw a group of people discussing a notice.

"Dr. Hua, Dr. Hua has come to Xuzhou?"

"Who exactly is this miracle doctor after? If even the governor can't persuade him, who can?"

"No matter what the divine doctor is doing in Xuzhou, as long as we find him, we'll get a hundred taels of silver. Let's hurry up and find him before anyone else does. If we miss this opportunity, we'll never have another chance."

...

Soon, half of the people dispersed to look for someone.

Yun Zhaoxue leaned closer and saw the notice, understanding its meaning.

It turned out that Shen Qingyu had sent people all over the city to search for Doctor Hua, and even posted a reward notice with Hua Murong's portrait.

If anyone discovers Doctor Hua and reports it to the governor's office or the government, they will be rewarded with one hundred taels of silver.

One hundred taels of silver was a huge sum for ordinary people, so they spontaneously gathered in the streets and alleys to search for the person. Whenever they saw someone who resembled the painting, they would rush over, grab the person, and ask, "Are you the Divine Physician Hua? Are you the Divine Physician Hua...?"

The portrait is from more than ten years ago. Back then, he was a neatly dressed, unreliable middle-aged man. Now, he is slovenly, with disheveled hair and half-white hair.

He looked so different from the person in the portrait that no one would recognize him if he walked down the street.

She finally understood why Hua Murong deliberately unkempt his appearance and dressed up as ugly and old.

She leaned closer and whispered to the man who was walking up, "Is this Doctor Hua when he was young? He was quite handsome, really handsome."

"Old but only moderately handsome," Xiao Xuance thought to himself. He was neither as handsome as him nor as young.

After confirming that no one was following them, they went to the place where Zhuiying and the others had settled and entered the courtyard.

Red Dates and Green Branches were busy in the kitchen in the yard when they heard the door open and hurried out to greet them.

"Princess, you've finally arrived. Breakfast is ready. Please have a seat with the young master. I'll bring it out right away."

At this moment, Hua Murong also walked in from outside the courtyard, stretched out her arms, sniffed the morning fragrance, and rushed into the courtyard, "You two girls, your princess is here, can this old man have breakfast now?"

Hongzao and Lvzhi prepared a sumptuous breakfast, waiting especially for Yun Zhaoxue to come and eat.

You can eat steamed buns and porridge, but you can't touch yam and chicken soup or other nourishing foods.

Hua Murong wanted to eat, but could only wait for them to arrive before eating together. Bored, she went out for a stroll.

"Dr. Hua, did you go out to the street just now?"

"Yes, they went there. The people there seem to be looking for someone."

"They didn't recognize you?"

"No, why would they recognize me? I'm not the person they're looking for."

"You really are something."

"Keep a low profile when you go out these days, and don't reveal your identity, or you'll be 'invited' to the governor's mansion to be treated."

Hua Murong shook his head, "No, no, I've already retired from the martial world. If it weren't for owing Brother Xiao a favor, I wouldn't be here. Right now, I should be wandering the world, going wherever I feel like."

He loved freedom by nature, so he never married and never harmed any young women.

Xiao Xuance said, "After today, Doctor Hua can go wherever he wants."

"You're kicking me out like this?"

He suddenly didn't want to leave.

Actually, being alone for too long can be quite lonely.

Xiao Xuance replied, "I'm not kicking you out. You can leave or stay with Zhuiying and the others."

He can afford to support one more person.

"That's more like it. Let's take it one step at a time."

After breakfast, he began to treat Xiao Xuance's leg.

Yun Zhaoxue took out many advanced medical equipment and medicines that Hua Murong had never seen before, her eyes shining.

He had never seen these things before, and it broadened his horizons.
