Mountain and River Sacrifice 190. Ruyang Governor

"Master, have you been okay these days?" Ye Li pulled Mo Xiuyao into the small courtyard where Doctor Lin was staying temporarily. She looked at Doctor Lin who was sitting under a big tree in the courtyard and drinking tea alone and smiled. Doctor Lin looked back at her and then fixed his eyes on Mo Xiuyao who was standing beside her with a somewhat unfriendly look. Doctor Lin had seen Mo Xiuyao once from a distance before, but at that time Mo Xiuyao had black hair and looked far less shocked than now. Looking at Ye Li again, Doctor Lin nodded and said, "Sit down."

Ye Li was not polite. After thanking him, she pulled Mo Xiuyao to sit down. She picked up the teacup on the table and poured a cup of tea for herself and Mo Xiuyao, saying with a smile: "I have been busy these days and have not had time to see Master. Please forgive me." Doctor Lin snorted lightly. They did not formally worship Master or accept disciples. He just taught Ye Li some medical skills. Ye Li kept calling him Master. In fact, neither of them took it seriously. Later, it was more because of safety issues. So Doctor Lin naturally did not really have any opinions about Ye Li. In fact, after the incident with Tan Jizhi, Ye Li has now been worthy of his life-saving grace.

"He was once poisoned by cold?" Doctor Lin looked at Mo Xiuyao and asked with a frown, "Why is there a double poison of cold and fire in his body now?" Cold poison and fire poison are incompatible by nature, so the general method of fighting poison with poison is also feasible, but the two poisons in Mo Xiuyao's body maintain a delicate balance. However, this does not make Mo Xiuyao feel better. In fact, the consequence of the existence of two types of poisons at the same time is that the pain the body endures is also doubled. Mo Xiuyao raised his eyebrows, as if he did not expect that the old man in front of him really had some skills. Although he didn't have a good impression of the old man, he still remembered that he saved A'li and the child in her belly, so he said calmly, "I have used phoenix tail grass before." Doctor Lin looked at Mo Xiuyao for a long time before finally saying, "Prince Dingguo is indeed different from ordinary people. At least his endurance is enough to look down on the world. I want to meet the previous doctor." With Doctor Lin's medical skills, he would naturally be able to see what problems Mo Xiuyao had before. When a skilled doctor meets someone as skilled as himself, he always can't help but want to discuss and exchange ideas.

Ye Li looked at Doctor Lin expectantly and asked, "Master, do you have any way to treat the poison in Mo Xiuyao's body?"

Doctor Lin sneered and said, "If it was just the cold poison, we could have thought of a way, but now there's no need to think of any way. If we cure one poison first, the other one will kill him immediately. And these two antidotes are also mutually exclusive. At least so far, the old man has not figured out any way to make them compatible without damaging the properties of the drugs." Ye Li didn't have much hope for this, so she wasn't disappointed either. She just asked, "What if there's a blue sky flower?"

"Biluo Flower?" Doctor Lin frowned, put down the teacup and looked at Ye Li. After thinking for a while, he said, "Biluo Flower... If there really is Biluo Flower, it would be a good idea. I seem to have read in some ancient book that the elixir made from Biluo Flower can cure all kinds of poisons and revive the dead. In fact, it is better to say that it can eliminate all kinds of poisons than to cure all kinds of poisons. It is completely different from the so-called antidote we are studying. It can be said that it only relies on the huge medicinal properties of Biluo Flower to forcibly eliminate any toxins in the human body. But Biluo Flower has been extinct in the world for many years, so I have not studied the prescription seriously." Ye Li was delighted. Although he had not yet obtained the Biluo Flower, Shen Yang had actually been studying the prescription for a long time. But because it was a lost ancient prescription, it was very laborious to study it. The sick scholar knew the prescription, but Ye Li was always uneasy about the things she took from him.

Doctor Lin glanced at her and said, "I don't remember which book it was mentioned in. You can send someone back to get it. Just don't disturb the villagers there."

Ye Li nodded and said, "Thank you, Master."

Doctor Lin glanced at the two of them coldly, then stood up and walked into the house. Looking at his back, Mo Xiuyao put down his teacup and said, "Ali, he has a problem."

"Hmm?" Ye Li raised her eyebrows and looked at him with a smile. Mo Xiuyao said coldly: "You said that Tan Jizhi was his adopted son, and he had a lot of feelings for Tan Jizhi. But he didn't even ask about Tan Jizhi just now." Ye Li smiled and said: "He lives in this house, doesn't he know that Tan Jizhi has left?" Mo Xiuyao shook his head, "Then he shouldn't have no reaction at all." Whether it was worry about disappointment or something else, the old man acted as if Tan Jizhi was a person who had nothing to do with him, which seemed deliberate. Looking down at Ye Li, Mo Xiuyao said softly, "I don't believe Ah Li didn't see it." Ye Li picked up a strand of silver hair on his chest and said softly, "Even if he hid something, what does it matter? Everyone has a little secret. As long as he can help your body, I don't want to make it too difficult for him. After all, he is also my savior." Ye Li was grateful to Doctor Lin. She knew that Doctor Lin must have some secrets in his heart. Unlike Tan Jizhi, Tan Jizhi cared too much about his so-called treasure and often arbitrarily doubted his adoptive father who raised him since he was a child, but ignored Doctor Lin himself. But Ye Li, who was watching from the side, carefully observed everyone around her. Every expression and look of Doctor Lin could not escape her eyes. No matter what secrets Dr. Lin has, as long as he doesn't hurt anyone she cares about, and as long as he can help Xiu Yao's body, what else does it matter?

Mo Xiuyao watched Ye Li playing with the silver hair on his chest. He knew that Ah Li felt guilty about this. He gently pulled Ye Li's hand away and pulled out the strand of hair, saying lovingly, "Since Ah Li said so, then don't worry about him." He would send someone to investigate Doctor Lin. As long as he didn't do anything he shouldn't do, he wouldn't do anything to him.

When Doctor Lin came out of the house, he saw two people sitting under the tree and talking quietly. The atmosphere around them was so warm and peaceful that people couldn't bear to disturb them. Ye Li and Mo Xiuyao were both powerful cultivators. They had heard Doctor Lin's footsteps before he even stepped out of the door. Ye Li turned around and looked at him. Doctor Lin threw a green porcelain bottle to him and said, "There's nothing we can do about his hair. This is for you." He didn't say what the medicine was used for. After saying this, Doctor Lin went back to his room with his hands behind his back without seeing him off. They both knew that a person like Mo Xiuyao would never use medicine given by a stranger. Naturally, he needed to give it to a skilled doctor for examination. In this case, it didn't matter whether he told them how to use the medicine or not. Ye Li took the porcelain bottle in her hand, opened it and smelled it, and roughly understood the purpose of this bottle. When she was at Doctor Lin's house, she also saw many precious medicines in his collection.

After putting away the medicine bottle, Ye Li stood up with the help of Mo Xiuyao and planned to go to Shen Yang again. Although she believed that Doctor Lin would not tamper with this bottle of medicine, the necessary examination was still necessary, and Doctor Lin also said that he wanted to see Shen Yang, so she needed to talk to Mr. Shen first.

When they arrived at Shen Yang's courtyard, Feng Zhiyao and Zhou Yu were there. Ye Li was not familiar with Zhou Yu. They had only met a few times. Although Ye Li had done some favors to Zhou Yu, it was the Ye family that was wrong, so Ye Li had never taken it to heart. But she did not expect Zhou Yu to remember and deliver the letter for Duke Hua regardless of his own danger. Seeing the two people coming in, the three of them stood up and saluted, "Meet the prince and princess."

Mo Xiuyao waved his hand to signal the three to excuse themselves, and helped Ye Li sit down on the chair before turning around and sitting down beside her and asking, "Feng San, what are you doing here at this time? Is there too little for you to do normally? And Zhou Yu, are you feeling unwell?" Mo Xiuyao could tell at a glance that Zhou Yu's face looked a little gloomy, and he was obviously feeling unwell. Hearing what Mo Xiuyao said, Feng Zhiyao almost vomited blood on the spot. He stared at the man in front of him with a leisurely and guiltless look. Since the princess came back, the man who used to be busy with official duties day and night has completely changed. He will never spend more than two hours on business every day. He will never enter the study room after dinner. He will stay with the princess every day to ask her questions. Not only does he not work hard, but he also doesn't allow the princess to do it. The euphemistic name is to take care of the future of Prince Ding's palace and the future young master of the Mo family army. So, as a subordinate, what else can you say? But when a half-dead subordinate who worked hard and worked hard faced his leisurely and idle master, and was questioned whether he was too idle, how could he feel embarrassed?

Ye Li glared at Mo Xiuyao helplessly, then looked at Zhou Yu with a smile and asked, "Are you feeling unwell, Lord Zhou?" Zhou Yu stood up and said respectfully, "I am no longer working in the court, Princess, you can just call me Zhou Yu. I just caught a cold, thank you for your concern, Your Highness and Princess." Feng Zhiyao curled his lips and said, "What do you mean by a cold? This man is almost working himself into a rage. He doesn't go to bed until midnight every day, and when I went over, he just happened to have fainted. My Lord, are you in a good mood now? If not, can you arrange the appointments of officials in various parts of the northwest?" Zhou Yu lowered his head in embarrassment after being exposed by Feng Zhiyao. Mo Xiuyao leaned back in his chair and said lazily, "Official appointment? You can't do it?" Feng Zhiyao gritted his teeth and said, "Your Majesty, it is said that I am just a small deputy general." Mo Xiuyao nodded in understanding and said, "Are you reminding me to promote you?"

"Mo Xiuyao! You are a master who doesn't dare to beat you?!" Feng Zhiyao finally got furious, and his image as a gentleman was completely gone. He had been so careful and exhausted for the past few months, and it was not enough that he had no gratitude for taking over this master. He actually became even more vicious after the princess came back. If they hadn't grown up together, this master would not serve such a difficult master!

"You want to beat me?" Mo Xiuyao narrowed his eyes dangerously. Feng Zhiyao couldn't help swallowing his saliva and looked at Ye Li on the side. It's not that he didn't dare to beat Mo Xiuyao. When he was young, he also beat him up without restraint. The problem is... he can't beat him! Since Mo Xiuyao became his apprentice, he was the one who got beaten every time he fought.

"Xiu Yao." Ye Li couldn't bear to watch, so she had to call him softly. Mo Xiu Yao sat up and said seriously, "I know. The situation was a bit chaotic a few days ago, so I didn't have time to deal with these. I will take a good test in the next two days. Zhou Yu, you have managed Ruyang City well these days. You can serve as the governor of Ruyang first. I will select a few capable people to help you later." In fact, the internal affairs of the Mohist Army have been quite chaotic in the past few months. For example, the northwest has a large number of vacant positions after the change of ownership. Although the Mohist Army is full of elites, it is not the imperial court. Especially for civil officials, there is no way that there are so many people waiting to be replaced. So many times, one person holds multiple positions or even military generals temporarily replace civil officials. As for Xu Qingze, who was both capable and trusted by Mo Xiuyao, he was directly sent to Hongzhou to preside over the affairs of the three northwestern states. That was why Ye Li had not met Xu Qingze since she came back.

"Thank you for your trust, Your Majesty." Zhou Yu stood up again and thanked. Everyone understood what it meant for Prince Ding to appoint officials personally. According to the rules, the appointment and dismissal of officials must be handled by the court, and now Mo Xiuyao's performance also vaguely indicates that the northwest will gradually break away from the court. This makes many people feel mixed emotions, some are happy and some are worried.

"Rest for two days and get your body back in shape." Ye Li warned him. If his body collapsed, he would forget about it. There is a shortage of talent in the northwest now. Judging from the attitudes of Feng Zhiyao and Mo Xiuyao, Zhou Yu is obviously a capable person despite his young age. Zhou Yu nodded and said, "Thank you for your advice, Princess."

Shen Yang on the side glanced at everyone with dissatisfaction and said, "Do you remember that this is not my study room for meetings?" Three of the four people were unhealthy, and they dared to talk about these messy things in front of him, a doctor. Zhou Yu obviously just remembered this matter in Shen Yang's yard, and quickly suppressed his excitement and joy, and apologized to Shen Yang: "I am rude, Mr. Shen, please forgive me."

Shen Yang waved his hand and took out a piece of paper and said, "Go get the medicine yourself. If you don't want to fall on the bed and can't get up, just show off your strength." Then, regardless of Zhou Yu's reaction, he turned sideways to look at Ye Li and Mo Xiuyao and said, "What's wrong with the prince and princess?" Mo Xiuyao shook his head and said, "Let's check Ah Li's pulse first. Check her pulse every three days in the future. Mr. Shen, I'm troubling you."

Shen Yang also knew that the princess's health was important now, so he nodded indifferently and only planned to postpone the plan that he had planned to study behind closed doors. At least wait until the princess sees the baby is born. After taking Ye Li's pulse, Shen Yang said: "The princess is in good health. Although she is a little weak in the past few months, she will be well after conditioning, and it will not affect the princess. The little prince may be a little weak when he is born, but he can be cured." After all, the princess was almost in a coma during the most important months of the baby's life. In fact, Shen Yang had to praise the doctor's medical skills for being able to save the child. Mo Xiuyao nodded and said: "I will trouble Mr. Shen in the future."

Shen Yang took back his pulse-taking hand, raised his eyebrows and asked, "The princess should have met a good doctor in the past few months. I wonder if I can take a look at the prescriptions the doctor has written?" Ye Li didn't care and reported a few prescriptions that Doctor Lin had written for him before. Shen Yang didn't care about anything else and took notes and praised them repeatedly. Ye Li smiled and said, "Doctor Lin is in this mansion now. He also wants to recommend Mr. Shen. If Mr. Shen is free, why not go to Doctor Lin's place and sit down. The two of you can also exchange ideas." Shen Yang was overjoyed and smiled and said, "Great, I will definitely go to visit tomorrow."

Ye Li took out the porcelain bottle given by Doctor Lin and handed it over, saying, "This is what Doctor Lin just gave me. Mr. Shen, why don't you take a look at what it's for?"

Shen Yang took it carefully, lowered his head to smell it and thought for a moment. He took out some and rubbed it on his hands and observed it carefully for a moment, then smiled and said, "This should be a magical medicine for removing old scars. It contains a lot of magical herbs, which is indeed a rare and good thing." After saying that, he looked at Mo Xiuyao's masked face and smiled, "This is not for the princess, it should be for the prince, right? The prince can try it, and I can modify the prescription later to see if it can have a better effect."

"Shen, Yang!" Mo Xiuyao gritted his teeth and said with a sullen face. It always makes people feel uncomfortable when a grown man pays too much attention to his appearance, but Mo Xiuyao has to admit that he really hopes that this medicine can be effective. If he must have a head of white hair, then at least he should have a perfect face, so that Ye Li will not be laughed at, right? Shen Yang didn't care whether Mo Xiuyao was angry or not, and returned the medicine bottle to Ye Li with a smile. In Shen Yang's opinion, Mo Xiuyao is actually better now than before. When a person doesn't care about his face and body, it means that there is nothing in this world worth his care. Now that Mo Xiuyao is willing to care about his face, it at least shows that he has people he cares about. As long as there are people he cares about, there is always hope in life. Without waiting for Mo Xiuyao to get angry, Shen Yang simply waved his hand and drove them out.

After leaving Shen Yang's courtyard, Zhou Yu said goodbye and left the house. Before leaving, he looked at Mo Xiuyao in surprise. He was still very young, so it was a bit shocking to see the world-famous Prince Dingguo being driven out mercilessly by a doctor just like them, with his face turning blue.

After watching Zhou Yu leave, Ye Li asked, "Zhou Yu is still too young, can he be the governor of Ruyang?" Compared to the group of governors in the northwest who were pushed to the limit by Ye Li and Mo Xiuyao, Zhou Yu, who just turned 20, seemed too young. Feng Zhiyao nodded and said, "He is capable enough, but he is indeed a little young. But... in your opinion, this is okay, right?" Mo Xiuyao smiled coldly and said, "It's enough to have enough ability. Those who are just eating and waiting to die, you should clean them up as soon as possible. Anyone who dares to have any dissatisfaction can come to me and tell me."

Feng Zhiyao nodded with satisfaction and smiled: "With the prince, things will be much easier. But Zhou Yu is also the princess's man, I'm afraid those old men will come out and nag about the princess being a woman..." The trouble is that they can't kill all those old men, after all, appeasing the people is still a very important thing. These old men are extremely important figures in the northwest. It's better to say that there are great Confucian scholars, loyal ministers, and great philanthropists who build bridges and roads. There is really no way to touch them.

Ye Li had heard these words before. She had heard those stubborn old men's remarks when she led the army. She smiled and said, "Since both the prince and Feng San think Zhou Yu is useful, then he is the one. As for what those old men have to say, they don't need to look for the prince, just come to me directly." Feng Zhiyao blinked and looked at the couple. Forget it. If those old men really bother the princess, the prince will kill them. He has experienced the power of those sour scholars. Now this is nothing, but in the future... Feng Zhiyao thinks it will be a disaster.
