Just as Zhao Qian couldn't help but want to see Shen Muzhi's expression, Shen Muzhi finally spoke.
"As long as Madam doesn't kill or commit arson, let her do whatever she wants. You just need to clean up the mess and eliminate any potential safety hazards."
Zhao Qianguang couldn't discern Shen Muzhi's current emotions from his tone at all.
But one thing he was very clear about was that his general was very tolerant of his wife. He even agreed to such an outrageous thing as opening a clinic in the general's mansion. So, as subordinates, they naturally had to follow their master's attitude.
"Understood, I shall take my leave."
Shen Muzhi nodded slightly, and only after Zhao Qian left did she turn her gaze to Wei Wuxiu, who had been watching the show for a long time.
Upon meeting Shen Muzhi's gaze, Wei Wuxiu, who had been suppressing his laughter for a long time, finally couldn't hold it in any longer and teased him in a somewhat irreverent manner:
"Hahaha~ Brother Shen, your wife is not only an extraordinary person, but also a wonderful one! She is skilled in medicine and knowledgeable in feng shui. You are truly blessed!"
Shen Muzhi glanced coldly at Wei Wuxiu, who was laughing without any restraint, and without saying a word, chose to pretend he hadn't heard. He then directly gave the order to the outside world:
"Someone, summon Lou Xiaoduwei."
After bringing Lou Guyu to the military camp, Shen Muzhi immediately gave him a position that was neither too high nor too low. The official explanation was that he was his wife's sworn brother, and that he had brought him to the military camp for training.
Some people who know Shen Muzhi’s personality have some doubts. They feel that Shen Muzhi is not the kind of person who would use public office for private gain. Why is he acting so strangely this time? Is this the power of pillow talk?
But given Shen Muzhi's current prestige in Jiangbei, let alone him appointing a mere teenager as a captain, even if he wanted to declare himself king, no one would dare to object.
Not long after the people outside received the order, Lou Guyu was brought over, along with his personal bodyguard, Man Yi.
As soon as Lou Guyu entered the tent, Liu Xiangu, who had been lying on the ground with her mouth gagged, looked as if she had seen a ghost. Her eyes widened and she made muffled sobbing sounds.
Lou Guyu's reaction, however, was rather indifferent.
After observing the reactions of the two, Shen Muzhi had a general idea of what was going on, and then signaled for the bystanders to leave.
Once only a few of them remained in the room, Shen Muzhi turned to Lou Guyu and explained why he had summoned him:
"This person on the ground is from your Miao ethnic group. Do you recognize him?"
"Miao people?"
Lou Guyu now has complicated feelings toward the Miao people, because the people he is closest to and the people he hates the most are both Miao.
He turned his gaze to the fairy maiden on the ground, paused for a moment, and then gestured to Man Yi to remove the cloth strip from the fairy maiden's mouth.
"Cough cough~"
As soon as Man Yi removed the strip of cloth, Liu Xiangu coughed a series of coughs.
Once she felt a little better, she immediately looked at Lou Guyu and said in shock:
"You, you're the Holy Maiden? No, weren't you exposed, defected, and executed? How could you still be alive?"
Lou Guyu was not surprised that Liu Xiangu recognized him at a glance.
She used to be a holy woman of the Miao people, and she had to participate in every sacrificial ceremony, so there were very few Miao people who didn't know her.
The fact that Liu Xiangu recognized him at a glance almost confirmed that he was indeed a Miao person.
Because he had never left the Miao ethnic group since childhood, and no portrait of him had ever been circulated, the only people who could recognize him were Miao people.
Lou Guyu did not answer Liu Xiangu's question, but instead looked at Shen Muzhi and asked:
"Brother-in-law, where did you catch this Miao person?"
"I didn't catch him, it was your sister Yan who caught him."
Although it wasn't the first time he'd heard Lou Guyu call him brother-in-law, Shen Muzhi still felt a little uncomfortable. However, since Yan Xiao had personally acknowledged him as her brother, he had no choice but to accept it despite his discomfort.
"My sister caught it?"
Lou Guyu blinked in surprise, looking somewhat dumbfounded.
If he remembered correctly, it seemed that he and Yanxiao had only been separated for about half a day.
He hadn't even finished getting familiar with the military camp, and that woman had already grabbed a Miao person? Isn't that a bit too surreal?
This is in Jiangbei, are the Miao people so easy to catch?
"Um."
Shen Muzhi noticed Lou Guyu's surprise, briefly explained what had happened, and then looked at Lou Guyu seriously and said:
"I intend to hand this person over to you. I need you to get the information I want as quickly as possible. Is that alright?"
Upon hearing this, Lou Guyu immediately understood Shen Muzhi's intention. He knew that this man wanted to test his abilities and was giving him a chance to prove himself.
Without any hesitation, he nodded in agreement.
"Don't worry, brother-in-law, I will definitely take care of it."
After Lou Guyu finished speaking, he gestured for Man Yi to gag Liu Xiangu again, and then led Liu Xiangu away from the camp.
After Lou Guyu left, Wei Wuxiu, who had been silent until now, finally spoke again:
Brother Shen, you're just handing that Miao man over to him like that? This man might have very important information on him!
Shen Muwei nodded: "His ambitions are not small. This is an opportunity for him to prove himself. If he can't give me a satisfactory answer, then he can only be a tool for detoxification in the military camp in the future."
"Besides curing Gu poison, what else can he do?"
As Wei Wuxiu finished speaking, he suddenly seemed to realize something, and a look of surprise immediately appeared on his face:
"You're not planning to groom him to be in charge of things related to the Miao people, are you? He's a Miao person, isn't that too risky?"
Shen Muzhi looked up at Wei Wuxiu, his tone serious:
"If you doubt someone, don't use them; if you use someone, don't doubt them! Since he has this intention and has chosen to join me, then I will give him this opportunity. How far he can go depends on his own abilities."
Besides, the people who understand the Miao people best are naturally the Miao people themselves, don't you think?
Although Wei Wuxiu felt it was risky, he had no way to refute it, and could only remind him:
"As long as you know what's going on, but..."
He hesitated slightly at this point, but finally voiced his concerns, his tone becoming unusually serious:
"Muzhi, don't forget that, strictly speaking, Lou Guyu is your wife's man. And your wife seems to be shrouded in many mysteries."
Although Wei Wuxiu remembered Yan Xiao's kindness to him, this kindness could not compare to the friendship between him and Shen Muzhi.
There are too many mysteries surrounding Yan Xiao, and they remain unverified.
Most importantly, Shen Muzhi had discussed Yanxiao with him on the ship. He himself said that he felt Yanxiao's personality and behavior had changed a lot, as if he had been reborn.
A person's personality may change, but can their intelligence really change in a short period of time?
Yan Xiao explained that he remembered some things from before he was seven years old. He was very curious about what kind of memories could transform a person so completely.
What kind of identity could enable someone to possess such remarkable medical skills at the age of seven? Even the Medicine King Valley, renowned for its medical expertise, could not achieve this.
