Chapter 92 Lu Xingchi Becomes a General
Yunzhi didn't know what Shen Qi was thinking. She thought her words could make Shen Qi feel safe, but she didn't know that Shen Qi had already made the worst plan in his mind.
Two days later, Zhou Feng came back from the south. As soon as he appeared, he looked exhausted and Yunzhi found that he had lost a lot of weight.
"Master, why have you lost so much weight?"
Zhou Feng sat down and drank a few sips of water before saying, "I'm exhausted. After arriving in the south, I met with that traitor. I talked to him earnestly for a long time, but he refused to listen to me no matter what, and he was unwilling to sever ties with the Beast God Temple. I had no choice but to sever our master-disciple relationship.
Yunzhi, remember, you won't have any senior brothers anymore. You are my only disciple."
Yunzhi sighed helplessly: "Okay."
Zhou Feng: "After parting ways with him on bad terms, I should have come back here, but guess who I met on the way?"
Yunzhi couldn't think of anything: "Who?"
Zhou Feng: "Lu Xingchi! That guy is not dead, can you believe it? When I first saw him in broad daylight, I thought I saw a ghost!"
Yunzhi smiled and said, "So it's him."
Zhou Feng: "You don't seem surprised. Did you know he's not dead?"
Yunzhi nodded: "I just found out about it not long ago too."
Zhou Feng understood: "No wonder, after meeting Lu Xingchi, he was ecstatic to see me appear in the south. I thought he was happy to meet an old friend like me, but I didn't expect that this guy was looking for a skilled doctor to treat a strange disease of his subordinates. When he saw me, it was like he grabbed a life-saving straw and refused to let go. So my return schedule was delayed, otherwise I could have come back several days earlier."
Yunzhi was very curious: "What kind of strange disease is it?"
Zhou Feng: "This strange disease doesn't kill people who get it, but their hands will become like chicken claws, making them unable to use strength, control, or even hold things. It's like having both hands completely disabled. Lu Xingchi joined Jinghong City's border troops a few months ago and has made great achievements in the army, winning several major victories. Now his reputation in Jinghong City has soared, and he has been appointed a general by the city lord. He just returned to the city from the border to receive the reward, and a large number of his soldiers have contracted this disease, which has really worried him."
Yunzhi smiled when she heard this. She was happy that Lu Xingchi had earned her a good future, but then she started to worry: "Just one of his soldiers got sick. Was Lu Xingchi being targeted?"
An orc from the north came to be a general in Jinghong City. Would the local nobles be convinced?
Even with Ye Yuan as his backer, there will still be no shortage of difficulties in secret.
Zhou Feng: "You guessed right. Someone was deliberately targeting him. He showed up too quickly. Someone wanted to suppress him, so they started with his troops. That strange disease was a poison. I investigated for a long time, but couldn't find out what the poison was. Later, I found out that the poison was not in the food or water, but in the bathtubs used by each soldier to take a bath. Every time hot water was poured into the bathtub, the poison attached to the tub would melt in the water and then enter the body through the soldiers' skin.
A small number of soldiers preferred to bathe directly in the river and thus escaped this disaster.
I had Lu Xingchi send someone to dismantle each tub into planks and send them to me. Then I scraped out layer after layer of poisonous substances from the planks. After several days of research, I successfully developed an antidote to counteract the poison. I had Lu Xingchi give it to the soldiers, and their hands healed.
Yunzhi's heart surged when she heard this: "Master, it would have been great if I had gone with you at that time."
Zhou Feng rolled his eyes: "You think it's interesting, but I, an old man, almost lost my mind at the time."
Yunzhi smiled sheepishly. "What you said was so fascinating. I was completely captivated. The process of finding the source of the poison and developing the antidote was so fascinating. Master, I think I need to leave this small corner of the world and travel far and wide. I want to improve my medical skills and broaden my horizons. I can't just stay in books."
Zhou Feng's eyes became complicated. "I'm glad you think so. When you're ready, go ahead and feel free. If there's anything you can't solve, remember to write to me. And remember to come back and see me more often when you're free. Go out and see the world while you're still young. Don't be like me when I'm old and tired after a trip."
Yunzhi: "Master, you are not very old."
Zhou Feng's spirit and energy are much stronger than those of his peers.
Zhou Feng: "Not yet. I'm old enough to be your grandfather. Come on, girl, stop saying nice things. Go get busy. I'm going to take a shower. These clothes are too dirty to look at."
Zhou Feng walked into the house while complaining.
Yunzhi saw Zhou Feng get up and go into the house, then walked to the yard to continue working.
After taking a shower, Zhou Feng changed into thick clothes and went to the counter to look through the patients' medical records in recent days.
Yunzhi looked at him and couldn't help but say, "By the way, Master, there is something I want to tell you."
Zhou Feng didn't even raise his head: "What's the matter?"
Yunzhi: "During the time you were away, I got a new beast husband. He's not a stranger, you know him."
Zhou Feng: "Is it Shen Qi?"
Yunzhi was stunned: "Master, how did you know?"
Zhou Feng sneered, "Do you need to know? Our clinic buys herbs from him at cost price. If he's not interested in you, is he interested in an old man like me? And every time he comes to the clinic, his eyes are almost hanging on you. I'm not blind."
Yunzhi smiled awkwardly: "Is Chen Qi so obvious?"
How slow-witted she was before, she actually thought her friendship with Chen Qi was pure.
"I plan to form a bond with Shen Qi. When I formed a bond with Qi Chengfeng before, Lu Kui presided over it. Now I don't want him to preside over it for me, so I would like to ask for your help, Master."
Zhou Feng: "Where's your beastly husband? Why can't I see him?"
Yunzhi: "He has some things to deal with recently, so he is not in the north."
Zhou Feng: "Did he agree?"
Yunzhi hesitated for a moment: "I haven't told him about this yet, but he will definitely agree, because our relationship was just a fake one, we are not real husband and wife."
Zhou Feng was filled with questions: "Fake contract?"
Are young people nowadays so good at having fun?
Yunzhi: "The Snake Tribe has a rule that females must be with a male before the age of 18, otherwise they will be forcibly assigned a male. I didn't have a partner at the time, so I could only find someone to form a fake bond with."
