Chapter 227: Lure the snake out of its hole in the name of reunion!
Gu Yanzong's eyes were filled with tears. Although his vision was blurred, he could still imagine his mother's loving face and his wife's gentle and graceful figure in his mind.
He had been married to his wife Zhou Furong for only one year, and their relationship was going well. Unexpectedly, he received an urgent report of Lan Yu's invasion, so he was ordered to lead Gu Yanchen to the border.
I remember that when I left home that day, my mother and the women in the mansion stood in front of the gate to see me off. At that time, all my brothers were outside, each doing their own job, protecting the Northern Qi Dynasty.
Even though Madam Zhou Furong was very reluctant to let him go, she could only tearfully urge him to return safely...
Who would have thought that the enemy was repelled, but he was poisoned, imprisoned for eight years, and separated from his family for eight years.
The scene of returning home and seeing his family appeared vividly in his dreams countless times, but Gu Yanzong was in a trance at this moment.
Seeing that the person in front of him didn't speak for a long time, Gu Yanzong choked up and called out again: "Mother, Madam, it's me, I'm Yanzong!"
Qu Feng stood beside the big tree with a blank expression on his face, as if the whole incident had nothing to do with him.
The officers heard a man on the side of the road calling out to the team for his mother. Bu Wei was surprised and puzzled as to why there were no government officials around.
He had just stretched out his hand to signal the team to stop when a cry of surprise came from the team.
After staggering a few steps, Zhou Furong supported Madam Gu, who was also stumbling, and stepped forward.
Madam Gu was afraid that what she saw was an illusion, so she rubbed her eyes vigorously, and when she got closer, she was still carefully looking at the person sitting by the tree.
"Yan Zong? Is this really my Yan Zong?"
Gu Yanzong used his intact left hand to prop up his body, knelt on the ground with difficulty, and then fell down suddenly.
At this moment, all the members of the Gu family noticed that Gu Yanzong was unable to move. After Zhou Furong confirmed that it was her husband's voice, she rushed to him crying and helped him up.
Ignoring other people's gazes, she threw herself into his arms and burst into tears.
"Husband, it's really you, you are really still alive!"
Gu Yanzong looked at his wife, who was wearing coarse linen and had a haggard face, and nodded with difficulty, trying to hold back his tears: "Furong, it's me, I'm back!"
Old Madam Gu had already burst into tears at this time. The women of the Gu family who had reacted immediately stepped forward to support the staggering old lady.
Gu Yanzong comforted his wife in his arms and looked at his mother with red eyes, who looked incredulous.
"Mother, this unfilial son kowtows to you!" With the support of Zhou Furong, Gu Yanzong kowtowed heavily to the ground.
Only then did Mrs. Gu confirm that her son had really returned.
"Son!"
The heart-wrenching cry moved everyone present very much. Several sisters-in-law cried excitedly and supported Madam Gu forward.
"It's really my son who is back! My son is back!"
Old Madam Gu hugged Gu Yanzong's shoulders and cried breathlessly. Ran Qingxuan was afraid that she would faint from being too excited, so he hurried forward to comfort her.
"Mom, it's a happy thing that big brother is back, but you should also take care of your health and don't get too excited."
When Zhou Furong heard Ran Qingxuan's words, she knew that as the eldest daughter-in-law, she should stay by the old lady's side to comfort her.
When she stood up, she wiped the tears from her face and looked at Madam Gu with a red face.
"Mom, I'm sorry. It was my daughter-in-law who lost her composure."
As someone who had also lost her husband, Madam Gu knew the pain of separation. She took her hand and patted it, smiling and said, "You have a deep love for Yan Zong, and you have been fulfilling your filial duty on his behalf all these years. It has really been hard for you. How can I blame you?"
"Besides, we are not a wealthy family now, so we don't need those complicated rules and etiquette."
Gu Yanzong had long accepted the fact that the Gu family was exiled. Now that he had seen his family, the most important thing was to be with his family for the rest of his life.
As she spoke, Madam Gu stretched out her hand to help Gu Yanzong up, but unexpectedly she failed to pull him up.
The touch from her hand made the originally delighted Madam Gu stunned for a moment, and her calm mood became uncontrollable again.
"Son, what's wrong with you? Why don't you get up?"
Gu Yanzong looked as if he wanted to say something but hesitated, and a trace of sadness appeared in his eyes.
Qu Feng knew it was his turn to step forward, and he said in a cold voice, "His right hand and both lower limbs were broken, and he was thrown into the maple forest outside Shuangling City. I encountered him when I passed by, and I saved him."
As he said this, Gu Yanchen, who was standing nearby, quickly scanned the escort team and took in the expressions on their faces without making a sound.
This was also a plan that had been deployed in advance with Ran Qingxuan. Regardless of whether Qi Jing knew about it or participated in the imprisonment of Gu Yanzong, they would definitely be suspicious once he showed up.
If the people placed in the escort team want to find out the truth, they will definitely reveal their flaws.
When the Gu family saw Qu Feng with a tall and straight figure and wearing a dark blue dress, which gave people a feeling that no strangers were allowed to enter, they thought he was some kind of hermit.
Madam Gu immediately stepped forward with Zhou Furong and bowed solemnly to express her gratitude.
"Young Master, your kindness is great. The Gu family is unable to repay you. May I ask your name and where you live? When you are settled down at home in the future, our family will definitely prepare generous gifts and come to your house to express our gratitude!"
Qu Feng pretended to be deep and leaned against the tree, and said in a deep voice: "You really should be thankful. After all, not everyone is so lucky to meet someone from the Divine Doctor Sect."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present looked at Qu Feng in shock.
In their eyes, the Divine Doctor Sect is a major sect. Even though it has been in seclusion for several years, when it is mentioned, they still marvel at the superb medical skills of its disciples.
Madam Gu didn't know the inside story and was so excited that she was about to kneel down.
Qu Feng, who originally wanted to act noble, was so frightened when he saw this that he instantly hid to the side.
If this makes people kneel down, not to mention Gu Yanchen, even Ran Qingxuan will tear him apart...
Fortunately, Ran Qingxuan was there and pulled Madam Gu back, preventing her from kneeling down.
However, when he met Gu Yanchen's murderous gaze, Qu Feng immediately adjusted his state and said, "The old lady is older than me, I am not worthy of this kneeling."
"As a disciple of the Divine Doctor Sect, saving people is just a matter of convenience. There is no need for you to thank me."
"But there is one thing I need to make clear to you. Although the tendons in his hands and feet have been healed, he still has other injuries on his body. If you want to treat him, then you should do it as soon as possible."
Ran Qingxuan showed a worried look at the right moment and stepped forward to salute Qu Feng.
"Young Master, you are a skilled doctor. Could you please save my brother?"
Old Madam Gu also knew that it was hard to find a miracle doctor. Now that Gu Yanzong was obviously unable to walk, she naturally had to seize the last chance.
"Although my family doesn't have much money now, the reward I deserve will definitely not be less. Please help me, young master. My family will be grateful."
Qu Feng looked thoughtful and said with a cold face.
"The Divine Doctor Sect never saves people for nothing. If your son wants to stand up again in the future, the cost will definitely be high."
"How much is that?" Zhou Furong didn't want her husband, who was once full of vigor and vitality, to have to lie in bed all his life, so she asked anxiously.
Qu Feng said without hesitation: "One thousand taels, this is the minimum!"
Unexpectedly, before the Gu family members could say anything, one of the officers spoke first.
"You said you were from the Divine Doctor Sect, but do you have any evidence to prove it?"
Ran Qingxuan raised his eyebrows, suppressed his excitement and said secretly, "He's taken the bait!"
