Chapter 20 Becoming a Good Knife
"I even clashed with Madam at that time." Jiang Cheng hesitated for a second before adding, "Madam looked a little nervous."
"Wish! Ming! Qing!"
Luo Tingshan felt a fishy smell rising from his throat again and flowing from the corners of his mouth. He had never wanted to kill someone as much as he did at that moment.
If it really has something to do with her, he will never let it go...
He felt a wave of pain in his heart and it was getting harder and harder to breathe. Before he passed out, he said, "Let's go to Guancheng tomorrow morning!"
"General!" Jiang Cheng's face turned pale and he hurried to call the ancestral doctor over. Dai Sheyan also put on her clothes and ran over.
The night was dark, but the courtyard was bustling with people, making it impossible to quiet down.
A moment later, Jiang Cheng heard from the ancestral doctor that the general had been stimulated, which triggered the vicious nature of the life-extending Gu, causing heart palpitations and coma.
And you must not stimulate him again in the future, otherwise it will be difficult to prolong his life and he will die within a year.
Jiang Cheng nodded quickly, "Thank you, Doctor. I'll take note of it."
The ancestor doctor is seventy years old this year. He has gray hair, wrinkled face, small eyes, and is always smiling. He looks like a kind old man.
No one knew where he came from. As far as Dai Sheyan could remember, he had already been practicing medicine in the village.
The ancestral doctor advised: "If possible, let the bad girl refine more life-extending Gu, otherwise no one will be able to save him in a year."
Jiang Cheng nodded slightly. After the ancestral doctor left, he looked at the unconscious man on the bed and swore in his heart: General, I will never let anything happen to you.
He turned around and bowed to Dai Sheyan, "Miss Dai, the General and I will be leaving tomorrow. I'll leave the life-extending Gu in your care!"
"Are you crazy?" Dai Sheyan was shocked. She wanted to say something but was afraid of waking up Brother Luo, so she pulled Jiang Cheng into the yard and turned around to carefully close the door.
Inside the house, Luo Tingshan, who had been unconscious just now, had opened his eyes. He was recalling what he had just heard.
Life-extending Gu?
Could it be that this thing allowed him to survive, but only for a year?
But, enough!
…
The next morning, Jiang Cheng packed his luggage as instructed.
Even though Dai Sheyan explained the interests to him last night, he was a secret guard trained by Prince Luo's Mansion and always carried out Luo Tingshan's orders.
Luo Tingshan was unable to move easily. After Jiang Cheng carried him onto the carriage, he asked, "What did the doctor say about my leg?"
Jiang Cheng lowered his head, his eyes reddened: "The ancestral doctor said that the tendons and veins were injured, and it might be difficult for him to stand in the future."
Luo Tingshan was straightening his clothes when he paused, seemingly nonchalant, and said, "I understand."
It's good enough, at least he saved his life.
Maybe God wanted to keep him alive to atone for his sins!
Jiang Cheng got off the carriage and saw Dai Sheyan standing beside him with a bag on her back. He said with a serious face, "Miss Dai, please go back. The general said it is inconvenient for him to go with you. Thank you for taking care of me these days."
Dai Sheyan pouted, "I still have to make your general's medicine, I have to follow."
Of course he wanted the bad girl to follow him. After all, the general had a life-extending Gu in his body. If anything unexpected happened, the bad girl could always help.
But the general didn't want to give the evil girl any chance.
Alas, the general does not take his own health seriously.
Seeing his expression relaxed, Dai Sheyan thought she had a chance. Just as she was about to get on the carriage, she heard him say the same thing again: "Miss Dai, please go back."
"Shut up!" She walked around Jiang Cheng and headed straight for the carriage. A low, heavy voice came from inside: "Miss, Jiang Cheng has learned how to boil medicine. Please go back!"
It was the same sentence again. Dai Sheyan was tired of hearing it. She opened the car door and smiled, "Brother Luo, you will definitely need someone to take care of you along the way. My ancestor and I have learned medical skills..."
Luo Tingshan is 37 years old this year. If it were any other man of the same age, he would have softened his heart long ago if he met a 20-year-old girl who was acting coquettishly and coquettishly, and who was also your savior.
But Luo Tingshan looked at him with a serious expression.
He looked serious and exuded an aura of majesty without even being angry. Dai Sheyan gradually stopped talking.
She pouted in grievance, watched the door close, watched Jiang Cheng get on the carriage, watched the carriage gradually go away, and stomped her feet in anger but still refused to leave.
Dai Sheyan looked back at the village entrance from time to time with an anxious look on her face.
Why haven’t you come yet?
Half a minute passed before the ancestral doctor came slowly over with a pony. Dai Sheyan hurried forward and said, "Oh, Grandpa, you are finally here. Remember to tell my father. I am leaving first."
The ancestor doctor sighed helplessly, and after the little girl left for a while, he said to a man who suddenly appeared beside him: "Protect her."
"yes!"
…
The southwest region is mountainous and forested, and is experiencing the scorching heat of summer. However, although Yuzhou in the central region still has a hint of heat, it is mostly cool after the rain.
Captain Liang and his men had been escorting the prisoners for seven consecutive days, mostly sleeping in the wild.
These people complained bitterly at the beginning, but gradually became numb and no longer had the energy to struggle.
Zhu Mingqing also had a few good days.
The most obvious contrast is that she no longer has to wear shackles all day.
She was also freer to move around than the others, and every time they passed through a town, she could go along and buy some supplies.
She will always remember all the favors given to her by Captain Liang.
However, it has been almost a week and the person who sprinkled the powder on the cart has not been found yet, and she always feels a little uneasy.
At noon today, Zhu Mingqing received his meal and ate it, while his eyes continued to look at everyone in the team.
Suddenly, there was another noise behind her.
Turning my head, I saw the scene that had been happening continuously for the past few days happening again behind the small tree.
"Luo Tian, give me the cake!"
"If you dare to complain, you'll be dead!"
"I've already left you a bowl of rice soup. What are you looking at? If you keep looking, I won't leave you any more."
Zhu Mingqing had a mocking look in his eyes. Just because he had lost his parents, Luo Tian's uncles and aunts not only showed no concern for him, but also stole their things.
Even if he hadn't been exiled, I'm afraid that Prince Luo's Mansion would have been destroyed by these people sooner or later.
In a moment's time, the fight broke out again.
Luo Tian would resist every time and was beaten badly at first, but gradually, his injuries became less and less severe, and the number of children who came to cause trouble became fewer and fewer.
Zhu Mingqing used to just watch it for fun.
But this time, she called out to Luo Tian. His dirty face was covered in bruises, and he was limping as he walked.
She opened her thin lips slightly and asked calmly, "Do you want to leave them? I can help you."
Luo Tian was very surprised. According to his observation, his aunt has never been a nosy person.
Seeing that he remained silent, Zhu Mingqing said calmly, "I won't force you. If you don't want to, forget it."
"No... I was just too surprised." Luo Tian explained immediately, "I don't want to live with them. Please help me, auntie."
Zhu Mingqing raised his lips slightly: "Okay, then from now on, you will stay by my side, do whatever I tell you to do, and don't worry about anything else. Can you do it?"
The boy looks extremely thin, but he has a tenacious spirit that never gives up.
Moreover, he is cautious in character.
If it is honed, it will definitely become a good knife.
