Chapter 347 This Person Must Be Eliminated Fang Zixi pondered for a while, hesitating...
Fang Zixi pondered for a while, then hesitantly said, "Yunfan, do you have any medicine for fever caused by injuries?"
"Yes." Xu Yunfan looked at Fang Zixi. "My brother-in-law has a fever. It's actually caused by wound infection and necrosis. The medicine I gave him can reduce the inflammation."
Fang Zixi: "I heard that Xiao Feng was injured this time because he was hacked by a big businessman."
Although Dayan and Dayang seem to be at peace, there are constant rifts between the two countries on the border. Even small fights between them are fought with real swords and it is inevitable that soldiers will be injured.
"so what?"
"Right now, since it's not a holiday, if you want to give someone a gift, it has to touch their heart."
Xu Yunfan clapped his hands, "Brother Fang, I know what to give him now. Brother Fang is really smart."
Fang Zixi smiled awkwardly and guiltily. "I heard from Xiao Feng that you beat Huo Zhiyu? Sorry, my mother told me before that Huo Zhiyu was going back to the capital, but I forgot."
"fine."
Xu Yunfan was completely indifferent. "I hit him because I respect him. There are hundreds of millions of people in Dayan, and I chose to hit him instead of anyone else. It's his honor. If he doesn't know what's good for him, don't blame me. Anyway, the Huo family has always been hostile to me, so I'll hit him. Don't worry, Brother Fang."
Xu Yunfan ran back to the study and soon came out with a lot of bags. "Brother Fang, you don't have to wait for me to eat tonight. My brother-in-law likes me so much, he must keep me for dinner before coming back."
Fang Zixi smiled: "...Are you so sure?"
Xu Yunfan wasn't shy about boasting, "Of course he did. He was so pleased when he saw me a couple of days ago that he kept praising me."
"Old lady, my lord, Young Master Xu is here." Butler Xiao saw Xu Yunfan getting off the carriage with lots of bags, and he took three steps at a time to report.
Su Yan quickly stood up and said, "Hurry up and bring him in. This kid is finally back. Mom, how can I thank him?"
Grandma Xiao: "Yunfan doesn't lack anything else, but I heard from Run'er that he likes jewelry and other things. However, even if you give it to him, he probably won't accept it."
"Grandma, Uncle Yan, I'm here to see you. Where's my eldest brother-in-law?"
Xu Yunfan now had a package on his shoulder and another package on his arm. If you didn't know him, you would think he had just returned from a long trip.
Grandma Xiao happily stepped forward and took the things from his hand. "You said you came here, why did you bring so many things? We don't lack anything at home."
"That's different. My eldest uncle is still injured and as his husband, it's not right for me to come empty-handed. Grandma, where's my eldest uncle?"
Su Yan: "In the room. Did you just return to Beijing? Are you tired?"
"Not tired." Xu Yunfan shook his head, "Uncle Yan, take me to see my brother-in-law!"
Seeing that Xu Yunfan had no intention of sitting down to drink tea, Su Yan said: "Okay, come with me. Yunfan, this time your uncle really has to thank you. If it weren't for you, your elder brother..."
Su Yan couldn't continue. Thinking of the suffering his son had endured, he couldn't control his heartache.
It is not easy for a boy to give birth. It is already a great achievement that Su Yan gave birth to three sons for the Xiao family. Moreover, for a while, there was a rumor in the capital that the Su family's boy was fertile. Suddenly, many people came to propose marriage.
He loves and cares for all three of his sons; they are all his sweethearts.
Xiao Feng suffered so much that Su Yan almost became dehydrated from crying.
Xu Yunfan patted Su Yan's shoulder and said, "Uncle Yan, you are too polite. We are all family. It would be awkward to thank each other all the time. You helped me a lot with the Food City incident. If I just stood by and watched my eldest brother get into trouble today, would I still be a human being?"
"That's the truth, but I still have to say something."
"Oh, then you've already said it, and I heard it. Let's just forget about it. Uncle Yan, can you ask the kitchen to make me a meal later? I'm a little hungry after all this rush back."
If any other brother-in-law came in and asked for food without saying a few words, Su Yan would probably think that he was impolite, but he was happy when Xu Yunfan said so.
Listen to this natural tone. Isn't it obvious that he doesn't consider himself an outsider and regards the Xiao family as his own home?
So, isn't it natural to do something for the family?
"Okay, Run'er said you like old hen soup, so I'll ask the cook to make it for you."
Su Yan brought Xu Yunfan to Xiao Feng's door and ran happily to the kitchen.
"Brother-in-law, my brother-in-law is here to see you." Xu Yunfan pushed the door open and saw the person on the bed. "Oh, brother-in-law looks much better today."
"Yes, this is all thanks to my brother-in-law." Xiao Feng pointed at the stool next to Qin Run, "Hurry and sit down."
Xu Yunfan sat next to Qin Run, who glanced at him and asked, "Did you just get back? Have you finished your business?"
"Well, Brother Fang said you were here. You were bored at home anyway, so you came to see how your brother-in-law was recovering. He seems to be doing pretty well now."
"Thank you for your concern." Xiao Feng was very grateful to Xu Yunfan. If it weren't for Xu Yunfan, according to his concern, he would have gone back to the Xiao family after returning to Beijing and asked his uncle to go to the palace to invite the imperial physician. However, Xu Yunfan acted decisively and did not even ask about other things. He made the decision directly and arranged everything. Otherwise, if he invited the imperial physician and delayed it for a day or two, the Xiao family would probably be in danger.
Xu Yunfan waved his hand and said, "It's my duty."
Qin Run looked at Xu Yunfan, hesitant to speak, "You just came here like this?"
Xiao Feng was confused. If Xu Yunfan didn't come like this, did he have to dress up before coming?
Xu Yunfan heard it, "No, I brought some gifts, but I gave them to grandma. She will bring them back later."
"What did you bring?"
"My uncle is injured, right? I brought some medicine and some supplements. They are all good things. You can bring them to the barracks in the future. It's better to be prepared."
Well, the gift Xu Yunfan gave really touched people’s hearts.
Xiao Feng immediately became excited, "Brother-in-law, your medicine is amazing, it's a treasure."
"It's not magical, it's just the right medicine for the right condition. Big brother, remember to bring the medicine with you when you go back. I put some other things in it, and I've written down the instructions. If you encounter this kind of situation again in the future, you'll know how to use it."
Thinking of Xiao Feng's injury, Xu Yunfan finally understood why the people of the Shang Dynasty were so arrogant, and why Guo Minglei claimed to be superior to others.
The weapons of the Shang Dynasty are indeed powerful, capable of cutting through armor and causing such injuries to the enemy. No wonder Fu Qingyu is willing to spend a huge amount of money on weapons.
Iron was a rare commodity in ancient times. Due to the technology and materials, it was truly remarkable that the weapons of the Shang Dynasty could achieve this level.
Of course, Xu Yunfan does not mean that all swords in ancient times were blunt. After all, the sharp swords made by the ancients could cut iron like mud. But it is obvious that several major countries such as Dayan and Shang have not yet achieved this technology.
Xiao Feng was very interested in the medicine Xu Yunfan brought, and immediately asked Qin Run to get it for him, "Brother-in-law, can I take this medicine..."
Even at the border, they were all familiar with Xu Yunfan's affairs. Even in family letters, the person grandparents and father talked about most was Xu Yunfan.
He knew that Xu Yunfan and Qin Run had opened many shops selling all kinds of food and drinks, and they even cooperated with the Sheng family. So, this prescription probably could not be given away easily. Even if Xu Yunfan did not cooperate with the Sheng family, he could make a fortune just by using this prescription.
Halfway through his words, he realized that he had been impulsive.
"Brother-in-law wants a prescription?" Xu Yunfan was not stupid. He probably guessed what Xiao Feng had not said.
Xiao Feng thought about it and said, "Is it okay? Of course, we won't take it from you for free. We can give you silver, and we will definitely not let my brother-in-law suffer any loss."
"I don't think so." Xu Yunfan shook his head. "I got these medicines from overseas. You don't have them here. Besides, even if I told you the prescription, you probably wouldn't be able to make it."
Hearing this, Xiao Feng was very disappointed. Xu Yunfan had said so. He didn't suspect that Xu Yunfan was rejecting him in a tactful way, but it was the fact.
"Don't be disappointed, brother-in-law. It's just an anti-inflammatory medicine. In fact, there is more than one kind of anti-inflammatory medicine. I can give you another prescription."
"What? Is it really possible?" Xiao Feng was excited. If they had the anti-inflammatory medicine that Xu Yunfan mentioned, then their soldiers would not have to die due to fever caused by their injuries?
How many soldiers' lives could this save? How could he not be excited about such a big event?
Xu Yunfan saw Xiao Feng sitting up and quickly pushed him back down. "Brother-in-law, don't be so excited. Your wound hasn't healed yet. Be careful. You're already such a grown-up, but you still make me worry. No wonder Uncle Yan said that none of you brothers-in-law give him peace of mind. This won't do."
Xiao Feng: "..."
"You're right, kid. I need to take good care of my injuries. I'll go back when I'm better. My father, my brother, and even the soldiers will be very happy to see me back."
The two chatted for a few more words before Su Yan came over. "Yun Fan, the food is ready for you. We can have dinner now. Let's go over quickly. Your grandfathers will be so happy to know you're back."
"Are they all here?" Xu Yunfan quickly stood up. "We can't keep Grandpa waiting. Uncle Yan, let's go have dinner."
Su Yan came for a while and then left with Xu Yunfan. He didn't even look at Xiao Feng during the whole process, and naturally didn't ask him if he was hungry or wanted to eat something.
Qin Run never came back this time. Xiao Feng couldn't help laughing. It was obvious that he, the injured patient, was the one who needed special attention, but as soon as Xu Yunfan came back, these people couldn't even see him.
…
The Great Shang Dynasty.
Upon learning that Xiao Feng was not dead, Guo Minglei was furious. After smashing the room, he asked, "Tell me, what happened? Why is he still alive?"
In order to deal with Xiao Feng, he lost several personal guards. These people were the best masters around him. He originally wanted to wait for them to return from the mission before sending them to take Xu Yunfan's head. In the end,
The servants who were in charge of serving on the side were scared like quails, not daring to breathe, for fear that they would be the next to be smashed.
The military attendant being questioned seemed expressionless, but the cold sweat that kept pouring out of his forehead showed that he was not without fear at this moment. "My Lord, General Xiao was indeed injured. General Xiao even ordered him to be escorted back to the capital..."
In name, they were escorting him back to Beijing for medical treatment, but in reality... this kind of thing was tacitly known to everyone.
Guo Minglei: "But he is still alive."
"Yes, according to our investigation, General Xiao survived because of the intervention of Xu Xueshi from Dayan."
"Xu Yunfan again!" Guo Minglei gritted his teeth. Xu Yunfan was indeed his nemesis. This man had ruined his plans time and time again and even dared to send people to assassinate him. He really wanted to die.
Guo Minglei hurried to find the Great Shang Emperor. The Great Shang Emperor, who looked like he was suffering from kidney deficiency, frowned and asked, "Does this Xu Yunfan really have this ability?"
If Xiao Feng were in the Shang Dynasty, he would have died. This shows that Xu Yunfan is indeed a capable person.
"Yes, Father, this man cannot be kept alive. If he is not eliminated, he will become a formidable enemy in the future."
"Is this person really unusable by me?" The Great Shang Emperor couldn't help but feel regretful. If he could win over Xu Yunfan, perhaps this person would be able to be of use to him.
In his early years, the Emperor of the Shang Dynasty had an accident while hunting. He fell off his horse and suffered unspeakable injuries. The royal physician said that he would probably never be a man again in his lifetime.
The Emperor of the Shang Dynasty was furious and felt ashamed of the imperial physician's words. Wasn't this clearly saying that he had become a eunuch?
Later, the imperial physician was executed. He tried many times, but for more than ten years, there were dozens of beauties in the harem, but nothing happened.
The six princes of the Shang Dynasty are all old and ambitious. The other princes are eyeing the positions under their buttocks and have begun to form cliques. Only the third prince, whose mother's family is from outside the dynasty, is determined to share his worries and help him complete his grand plan of conquering Dayan.
For this reason, the Great Shang Emperor favored Guo Minglei. "If he cannot be used by me, this boy must not be kept."
Guo Minglei said respectfully, but it was a bit difficult to speak, "Father..."
Knowing that Guo Minglei's men were unable to do anything to Xu Yunfan, the Great Shang Emperor gave Guo Minglei a jade pendant and said, "Since your secret guards are incompetent, let others handle this matter."
When Guo Minglei saw the jade pendant his father gave him, his pupils shrank instantly, his breathing quickened, and he couldn't help but feel secretly happy in his heart, Xu Yunfan, you are finished!
Xiao Feng set off for the border before his injuries were healed. This time, Huo Zhiyu could not come.
Why? Some time ago, Huo Zhiyu visited Prince Xiao's Mansion, intending to meet Xiao Feng. When Su Yan heard that Huo Zhiyu was coming, he didn't even care about his demeanor as the master of Prince Xiao's Mansion. He came out of the yard, snatched the broom from the maid's hand, and beat Huo Zhiyu halfway across the street.
Damn it, because of Huo Zhiyu, Xu Yunfan almost couldn't come back. Upon learning about this, Su Yan was so angry that he couldn't sleep well all night. He wanted to bring people to attack the Huo family. Even so, Huo Zhiyu dared to come. If Su Yan didn't beat him, who else would he beat?
When people outside learned about this, some were happy to watch the fun, but some felt that Su Yan and Xiao Feng were ungrateful. Huo Zhiyu was twenty-two years old and had been chasing Xiao Feng for several years. He had spent his best years on Xiao Feng and had gone to the border to suffer for Xiao Feng. In the end, they treated him like this. It was really too much.
Fang's mother and even Mrs. Qi didn't like what they heard, and they started to retort immediately.
What? Just because you've been pursuing me for a few years, I should be moved by you and marry you?
Where does this make sense?
Oh, Huo Zhiyu suffered a lot when he went to the border. Don't think they don't know. This guy rented a house in the town when he got there. Whenever he felt like it, he would go to the restaurant every now and then to pack some food and go see Xiao Feng. Xiao Feng was very annoyed with him. He was afraid that a guy would be unsafe outside, so he had to send people to protect him and listen to his orders. Even so, he didn't suffer at all.
Don't think that they don't know what Huo Zhiyu is planning. Before, Xiao Hengzhi was alone, and the young generation of the Xiao family only had the three brothers Xiao Feng. As the eldest son, Xiao Feng would own the entire Xiao Palace in the future. If she could marry into the Xiao family, it would be no less than turning into a phoenix for Huo Zhiyu.
Lord Huo relies on being the Right Prime Minister, so what rank is he now? What rank is the King of the Opposite Sex?
No wonder Huo Zhiyu was willing to chase after Xiao Feng.
Huo Zhiyu lost face in Prince Xiao's mansion. After returning to Beijing, Lord Qi reported his father. Huo's father was implicated by his son and angrily scolded Huo Zhiyu.
Earlier, Huo Zhiyu chased after Xiao Feng, and Huo's father was happy to see it happen. If Huo Zhiyu became the head of the Xiao family, he would also have face.
At this moment, the Huo family fell out, and Huo's father had no choice but to suggest that Huo Zhiyu turn around and join the Song family.
Although the Song family is slightly inferior to the Xiao family, it is much stronger than the Huo family. His recent situation is not very good. If he gets involved with the Song family, those who have been making things difficult for him in order to curry favor with Xiao Heng will have to think twice before targeting him again.
Even though he didn't want to give up, Huo Zhiyu was not a fool. He knew that he couldn't hang himself on Xiao Feng's tree.
Not only is the Huo family's shop suppressed by Qin Run, but they are also suppressed by the two princes in the court. If something happens to Huo's father one day, who can Huo Zhiyu choose?
Now that they are teaming up with the Song family, the two families can barely be considered a good match.
Unfortunately, the Huo family didn’t know that Song Tong had already been “brainwashed” by Xu Yunfan.
The Huo family is the Right Prime Minister's people. Since he wants to deal with the Right Prime Minister, Xu Yunfan naturally has to eliminate all these branches. The interpersonal relationships in this circle are already complicated. How could Xu Yunfan let the Huo family have the opportunity to marry into the Song family?
…
When Xiao Feng returned, he brought nothing but wounds all over his body. When he left Beijing, he brought a few gifts in a horse-drawn carriage.
The bulk of the items were arranged by Qin Run, including bacon, sausage, dried vegetables, noodles, sweet potato starch, beef jerky, dried fruit, candy, and other items that are easy to preserve. In addition, there were two trucks of anti-inflammatory medicine that Xu Yunfan had asked the second son of the Meng family to rush to pack.
Looking at the food in the carriages, Xiao Feng, who was holding Qin An, felt a surge of warmth in his heart. He turned around and rubbed Qin An reluctantly, "Brother An, you must listen to your brother at home, okay?"
Qin An put his arms around Xiao Feng's neck and said, "Brother, I will listen to you. Don't worry. Take care of yourself when you get to the border, or An Ge'er will be worried."
"Hey, big brother will be careful." Holding the soft little brother, Xiao Feng sighed in his heart. He finally had a cute brother, but he had to separate from him before he could hug him enough. He really didn't want to let him go.
"Uncle Qin." Xiao Feng called out to Qin Feiyu and took a few steps towards him. "When you gave birth to your younger brother, my brothers, my father, and I probably wouldn't be able to come back, but we were all looking forward to the arrival of two younger brothers. My uncle wrote to us a while ago, telling us that you were pregnant with two younger brothers. My father was very happy and wanted to come back to see you, but he just couldn't get away."
It is difficult for a brother to give birth to a daughter. Xiao Feng has no other thoughts about the two babies in Qin Feiyu's belly except being younger brothers.
"I know." Qin Feiyu was also a general. The Qin family guarded one side, and the Xiao family guarded another. He was able to return to the capital because there were fewer things to do in the north and there were deputy generals guarding it, so it wasn't a big problem. But the Xiao family was indeed facing the ambitious Shang Dynasty, so naturally they couldn't leave. "Swords have no eyes on the battlefield, so tell Xiaolin and the others to be careful."
Xiao Feng nodded repeatedly, spoke a few words to the others, hugged Su Yan for a while, and then reluctantly got on the horse.
The sound of horse hooves rang out, but Xiao Feng did not look back. He knew that his relatives behind him were watching him, so he had to move forward and not look back.
When Xu Yunfan came back, he didn't see Xiao Feng. He guessed that he had left. He thought that Grandma Xiao and the others would be upset for a few days because of this. However, as soon as he came back, Su Yan and the others surrounded him.
Xu Yunfan had no idea what humility or modesty meant. He swore confidently, like a peacock spreading its feathers, "It's not difficult. It's a piece of cake."
"I will definitely be at the top of the list this time, Grandma, you still don't believe in your grandson-in-law's ability."
Seeing Xu Yunfan's arrogant look, Xiao Hengzhi couldn't stand it anymore and slapped Xu Yunfan on the back, "Alright, you'll die if you don't brag. Back then, your father-in-law was a man of great learning and talent. Even the most famous scholars in the capital didn't dare to say such things. How can you be so bold? If you don't get the top score in the exam later, I'll make you lose face."
After being slapped again, Xu Yunfan felt an itch on his back. "Hey, where did I brag? Father-in-law, how can you underestimate me? Just because you can't do it doesn't mean I can't do it. My strength is there. Father-in-law, you are blind, how can you say such a thing?"
Xu Yunfan is not a boastful person. He is an honest child who grew up under the national flag and has a good family background. As soon as the results of the imperial examination came out, who else could be the first on the red list but Xu Yunfan.
Well, another large group of people came to congratulate, and the Xiao Qin family had to hold a banquet at Yunrun Restaurant again. Mr. Fang and his friends were in the kitchen, and they once again showed off their special skills.
Grandma Fang was grinning from ear to ear and was working very hard. Even Grandpa Fang was shaking the big pot in his hand so hard that the vegetables inside almost flew onto the roof.
As for Uncle Fang, who used to be frail, he no longer had any worries after coming to the capital. He had meat for every meal, and his face had become as round as a plate. He looked quite cute and didn't look like a man who had fathered several children at all.
