Chapter 593: Rebel Leader
The man said anxiously, "Why don't you understand? You don't have to do this at all! Didn't I say before that the kid claims to know kung fu and is close to the martial arts world? You are one of the most famous doctors in the martial arts world. You just need to show up when you are practicing medicine, show some skills, and find a way to make friends with her. Then you can take it step by step. She can even accept the Xue family as a disciple. If you can get the status of master and disciple, then we can work together inside and outside..."
Gu Banmei said nothing.
The man kept on rambling, "Now is not a good time, why are you so impatient? The emperor's position is stable now. If the emperor passes the throne to that 'people's prince', maybe we can take advantage of the opportunity... Wait, that's not right, since you have successfully sneaked in, why don't you poison the emperor? Poisoning the emperor is more beneficial to us!! It is much better than kidnapping a child! If she is fifteen or sixteen years old and just beginning to fall in love, you can still find a way..."
Gu Banmei suddenly interrupted him: "Do you know how good the little princess's medical skills are? My poison is useless."
The man chuckled: "How good can a little kid be?"
Gu Banmei said coldly: "The one you dare not believe is good, at least it is much better than me! I don't believe it either, but I saw it with my own eyes, and I can no longer disbelieve it!"
"real?"
Gu Banmei probably nodded, and the man was silent for a while, then said, "Even if we can't poison you, you can assassinate the emperor and we can do something in the chaos. I really don't understand what you mean by bringing a child here? Speaking of which, she won't wake up, right? I'll go in and take a look."
Xinbao was eavesdropping with his eyes wide open, and when he heard these words, he closed his eyes in fright.
"No need," Gu Banmei stopped him, "She has had a fever all night and won't wake up before noon tomorrow."
The man had great confidence in his medical skills and hummed, "So, what's the point of getting a child?"
Gu Banmei said, "If I catch him, I can overturn the verdict for my family. You also said that my grandfather raised my father and was implicated by my father. I repaid his kindness. Isn't that enough? What else do you want?"
The man's voice turned cold. "Master raised you and taught you Kung Fu. Your kindness is as great as a mountain. But you only want to overturn the verdict for your family? Don't you think about Master or the gang at all?"
Gu Banmei remained silent.
The man said coldly, "Do you know how badly Master was injured in order to save you? How many people in the gang died in order to save you? You are our young leader! Now that you have grown stronger, you want to abandon all of this? Where will you leave your brothers?"
“Brother,” Gu Banmei whispered, “I have been watching for so many years. I think… that man is a good emperor. If I assassinate him for family revenge, what if there are any unmanageable consequences… I can’t get over this hurdle in my heart. So, I only ask to overturn the case for my family and restore my grandfather’s innocence. Then, let’s not do such things again, okay? We have been hiding our identities for so many years, and everyone says we are traitors…”
"Shut up!" The man was furious. "What bullshit are you talking about! I have told you so many times that he is just an actor and has done so many cruel things in private! Do you believe us or him? So many of us have worked so hard for your family feud, but you are speaking for your enemy..."
He lectured him nonstop.
Xinbao listened blankly.
The man spoke with an accent from somewhere unknown. Xinbao had a hard time following him at first, but the more he listened, the more surprised he became.
She listened so much that she forgot to pretend to be asleep and her eyes were wide open.
She finally understood why she felt that Gu Banmei's unfinished words on the Three Lives Stone were so important... because he was the leader of the rebels! ! No, it should be said that he was the leader of the rebels at that time.
Then he approached her deliberately, concealed his identity and made friends with her, so in the end, he said sorry to her.
But he said don't worry, what does that mean? Does that mean he will no longer be a threat to them if he dies? Or does he mean he has given up the idea of committing treason?
The man outside scolded for a long time, and finally Gu Banmei said: "Brother, I was wrong, I was too soft-hearted. In fact, I prepared a poison pill. Even the most skilled doctor can't cure this poison without knowing the recipe. I felt sorry for her and didn't want to give it to her, but for the sake of the Red Gang, I will let her take it when she wakes up. By then, she will need our antidote for the rest of her life..."
The man's anger turned into joy: "That's right! Although it's a bit too risky to do this, it's better than doing nothing..."
He said a few more words before saying, "It's almost dawn. I'm leaving first. If I have any news, I'll come back."
"Don't come over here," Gu Banmei said, "Those people may catch up here at any time, don't let them get you into trouble. The recipe for the antidote is in the third jar in my medicine cabinet, you can go get it later."
The man comforted him a few more words before leaving.
The sound outside disappeared for a long time before Gu Banmei walked in slowly with heavy steps.
He poured her a glass of water from the kettle on the stove and said, "I know you're awake. Have a drink!"
He paused, "Don't be afraid, I lied to him. I don't have any poison pills. Even if I do, I won't give them to you."
Xinbao blinked his big eyes.
She really wasn't worried about him poisoning her.
After all, she is a miracle doctor! The kind that is extremely miraculous!! No poison can be hidden from her big eyes!!
She just didn't know how to talk to him.
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
Xinbao slowly opened his eyes, and when their eyes met, she turned away: "Xinbao, don't drink!!"
"Drink it," he said tiredly, "There is no medicine here. You have been having a fever for half the night. You can only drink more water. Don't get sick again... If you get sick, your wife will be distressed."
Xinbao said, "Put Xinbao back, and your wife won't have to feel bad!!"
"I'm sorry," Gu Banmei said, "I really can't let you go. You still have to stay here for ten days, so, for your own sake, drink a little."
Xinbao was actually really thirsty.
She wanted to drink, but she didn't want to bow down to the bad guy, so she slowly got up and tried to save face: "I will only drink if you beg me!"
He was silent for a while, and actually said, "Please."
Xinbao was stunned: "..."
He seemed to have opened some strange door, and the words he spoke became smoother and smoother: "Please, please drink it. I don't ask you to forgive me, I just ask you to be well. I had to capture you, but I don't want to commit more sins before I die, so please, please be well and don't get sick."
He brought the water to her, and Xinbao took it silently and drank it silently.
Then she asked him, "Who is that bad guy?"
Gu Banmei smiled bitterly.
It was still dark at this moment. He had been busy taking care of Xinbao for most of the night, and then his senior brother came over and had an argument with him. He was so exhausted that he just sat down cross-legged on the ground.
