"Why are you talking so much nonsense? Just stay in the wooden barrel quietly!" Old Qi picked up a ladle, scooped up some water, and poured it over Xu Tianze's head.
"It's cold sometimes, hot sometimes. It's obviously torture." Xu Tianze was still a little dissatisfied. "I've read all the secret books in the valley, and I've never seen this method in the book."
If he had seen it in a book, he could understand Mr. Qi's behavior. If he still knew nothing about medicine as before, he would not understand Mr. Qi's approach but could still respect it.
But Xu Tianze was the one who was stuck in a position where he couldn't move forward or backward, so he was skeptical about Mr. Qi's approach.
But after all, Old Qi was his master in medicine, the successor of the Valley of Divine Doctors, and he had directly saved his life three years ago, so he could only express his dissatisfaction with his mouth, but his body was very cooperative.
"Bookworm! You only know the facts but not the reasons. You think you're right just because you're obsessed with studying?" Old Qi couldn't stand being questioned by Xu Tianze anymore. He directly hit Xu Tianze on the head with a ladle. "If you keep babbling here, I'll give you acupuncture or not."
Upon hearing this, Xu Tianze shrank his head and decisively dived into the water. The power of the medicine penetrating his skin in the water was already difficult for his body to bear. If Old Qi was still giving him acupuncture, he would really be dead.
Seeing Xu Tianze's cowardly look, Old Qi snorted coldly and left with a flick of his sleeves. He just closed the door and stood in the courtyard with a trace of pity and helplessness in his eyes.
Xu Tianze and Long Musi were both arranged by Old Qi, so naturally they could only listen obediently. However, there was the howling of ghosts, foxes and wolves for half an hour every day in the Third Prince's Mansion, and there was also a room that emitted white smoke day and night.
After seven consecutive days, Long Musi was finally freed from the clutches of Old Qi. If it weren't for the need to maintain his remaining dignity, Long Musi could have jumped out of the bed to express his love.
"Hmph, what a loser!" Old Qi glared at Long Muse unhappily, packed up his medicine box and ran away.
He was originally living a good retirement in the Divine Doctor Valley, but who knew that someone came and whipped him towards the capital without saying a word. It was only on the way that he found out about such a mess.
Without even giving him a chance to catch his breath, he pushed him to the head of the bed and started treating Long Musi, dealing with his wounds and detoxifying him.
When he thought of this, Mr. Qi glared at Ma Zheng who was guarding the door before leaving. Every time he saw Ma Zheng, something bad happened.
Ma Zheng was glared at by Old Qi and felt a little confused. He didn't know how he had offended the old man and could only smile innocently.
Then he received another eye roll from Old Qi, which made him feel a little too confused.
"Ma Zheng~"
When Ma Zheng heard his own prince calling him from inside the room, he responded immediately and turned to go into the house, leaving Old Qi standing aside with a frown on his face.
"Your Highness." Ma Zheng knelt on one knee on the ground, his head lowered, looking at the ground in front of him.
Long Musi didn't say anything, and the room fell into silence for a moment. Ma Zheng knew that what was coming had finally come.
But he had no regrets. After all, he knew what his true duties and mission were from the day he became a member of the Third Prince's Mansion.
"Your Highness." *2 Long Yi and Long Er appeared from the darkness and knelt in front of Long Musi, beside Ma Zheng.
There was no expression on Long Musi's face, and his eyes were cold. He slowly swept his gaze from Ma Zheng to Long Yi and Long Er, and then from Long Yi and Long Er to Ma Zheng, just sweeping back and forth like this.
Suddenly, there was a rhythmic knocking sound on the table in the room. Long Musi's gaze had already made Ma Zheng and the other two feel cold, and the moment the knocking sound rang out, Ma Zheng and the other two became even more uneasy.
Among these three people, even Ma Zheng, who has been with Long Musi for the shortest time, has been with him for six or seven years. As personal guards, they naturally understand the meaning of their prince knocking on the table.
If Xu Tianze knocking on the table means someone is going to be unlucky, then His Highness knocking on the table means someone is going to report to the King of Hell.
"Do you think that I dare not punish you all together?" Long Musi had an evil smile on his face, but his words directly put great pressure on the three people in front of him.
Long Musi looked at his subordinates. When it comes to loyalty, how could they not be loyal when they could become his confidants and serve and guard him closely?
But it was also true that they disobeyed his orders, and they disobeyed orders for his safety. For a moment, he didn't know what to do.
Long Musi had long known that sooner or later, he and Xu Tianze would be in danger at the same time, so he had already instructed the three people in front of him that if one day both he and Xu Tianze were in danger of their lives, they should abandon him and do their best to protect Xu Tianze.
What had they promised him then? They kept saying they would obey orders, but when the critical moment came, they actually listened to Aze's nonsense and let Aze go alone to divert the pursuers.
If you don't listen to him and disobey his orders, then no matter how loyal you are, bad things will happen later, so it's better to deal with it directly.
Long Musi thought so, his eyes narrowed, and the atmosphere in the air became solemn. When Ma Zheng and the other two heard what Long Musi said, they became frightened. They felt the murderous intention of their prince, which was about to be revealed, and realized that they would not be able to get out today.
The three of them didn't say a word in defense of themselves. They simply closed their eyes, letting their bodies relax, looking resigned to their fate.
"Since the three of you want to go together, then..." Long Musi let out a breath when he was about to say the result, and he slowly closed his eyes.
He is a member of the royal family and the only pillar on Aze's road to revenge. He cannot be soft-hearted and cannot make mistakes, even if his loyal subordinates have done nothing wrong.
If we spare three people today, and the rest of our subordinates follow suit in the future, all our efforts will be in vain.
"Then..." Long Musi opened his eyes and returned to his indifferent and calm look.
"Your Highness, please go over to Young Master Xu." When Long Musi was about to announce the punishment, the butler appeared at the right time and bowed to Long Musi with a smile.
"What's the matter?" Long Musi was interrupted by the housekeeper, and his hardened heart softened again. He didn't even know whether he was more grateful or hated himself for not living up to his expectations.
The butler shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Your Highness, you know that Master Xu has also been under the care of Divine Doctor Qi recently. We servants are not allowed to come in and out as we please. We just know that Master Xu has called you over."
When Long Musi heard what the butler said, he realized something was wrong. If it were any other servant, it would be fine, but the butler was not an ordinary servant.
This steward is his father-in-law's younger brother who has been with him since childhood. He can be said to have watched him grow up. In addition, he is loyal and helps manage the Third Prince's Mansion. Not everyone can lecture him.
