"What should we do?" Gu Sang smiled. "Since we've already offended them, we can't stay here any longer. In that case, I'll leave. Anyway, I've already taken care of everything here."
"Alright, let's go." Li Rong nodded.
The two left and then rode in a carriage toward the city gate.
Not long after Gu Sang and Li Rong left, a man appeared where they had just been. He glanced at the direction the officials had fled in and a strange smile appeared on his lips.
"I never imagined that woman would be such a miracle doctor!"
He murmured something softly, and then, with a flick of his wrist, he vanished from the spot.
.................
"Let's go. Let's go to the inn to rest first. We can continue our journey after I've rested."
Li Rong looked at Gu Sang and said.
“Okay.” Gu Sang nodded.
So the two headed out of the city, but when they were about to reach the city gate, Li Rong stopped because he saw someone.
"Hey, it's you!"
Li Rong looked at the figure standing in the distance and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
Following Li Rong's gaze, Gu Sang looked at the figure in the distance, and then she also showed a surprised expression.
Because she recognized the man in front of her. He was none other than the man she had met before, the young man who had saved all the people of Gujia Village. His name was Zhao Ning. He had come to Gujia Village once before, and she had spoken with him then.
"Yes, it's me. Are you from Gujia Village?" Zhao Ning was also very happy to see Li Rong. He quickly walked up to Gu Sang and asked.
"Yes, my name is Gu Sang, and I'm from Gu Family Village." Gu Sang looked at Zhao Ning and replied with a smile, "Young Master Zhao, what brings you here?"
"Oh, I'm here to participate in the competition."
Zhao Ning responded with a smile.
"Participate in the competition?"
Upon hearing Zhao Ning's words, Gu Sang's face showed a hint of doubt. "You're participating in the competition? Didn't you come here to take the imperial examination?"
“Yes.” Zhao Ning nodded, and looked at Gu Sang and continued, “Our Zhao family descendants have always participated in the imperial examinations. Whether it’s martial arts training, strategy, wisdom, or literary talent, our Zhao family has always been very good at it. So, this time, I want to try to see if I can pass the exams and get a degree. I wonder if you could guide me on a path?”
After listening to Zhao Ning's words, Gu Sang thought for a moment and then said, "Young Master Zhao, you are indeed very smart. As long as you do as I say, you can pass the imperial examination."
"Yeah?"
Upon hearing Gu Sang's words, Zhao Ning immediately smiled, "Thank you, miss. May I ask, miss, could you tell me what road you are referring to?"
"Actually, it's easy for you to become a doctor, but the people of Gujia Village don't like studying medicine. So, if I want you to become a doctor, you have to pass some tests. Although the people of Gujia Village don't want to become officials, they are still very passionate about healing and saving lives. As long as you pass the tests of the people of Gujia Village, you will be one of us."
"this......"
The method Gu Sang mentioned was far too difficult for Zhao Ning.
"Young Master Zhao, what's wrong? Do you think this method is not good?" Gu Sang asked, looking at Zhao Ning's expression.
“It’s not that I don’t want to go, it’s that I’m afraid that after I pass those tests, those people will kill me, and then they will use me to threaten you.”
Hearing Zhao Ning's words, Gu Sang smiled and shook her head. She said, "Young Master Zhao, you misunderstand. Those people won't kill you."
"You won't kill me?" Zhao Ning looked at Gu Sang in confusion, not understanding how she could say such a thing with such certainty.
“Because I am their benefactor, I would not lie to you.” Gu Sang looked at Zhao Ning and said earnestly.
"Gu Sang, is what you said true? Are you really their benefactor?" Zhao Ning stared intently at Gu Sang after hearing her words.
"certainly."
Gu Sang smiled, then looked at the sky. "Let's go into the city first. Once we've settled into an inn, I'll tell you all about it."
"Um."
Zhao Ning nodded after hearing Gu Sang's words.
Then, Gu Sang led Li Rong and Zhao Ning into the inn.
After settling into the inn, Gu Sang told Zhao Ning everything that had happened.
Zhao Ning glanced up every now and then at Li Rong, who stood silently to the side, like a guardian angel protecting Gu Sang.
He never expected that this extraordinary man would not only be so skilled in combat, but also willing to offend the officials for Gu Sang's sake.
"Brother, may I ask your honorable name? My name is Zhao Ning. I admire you greatly." Zhao Ning bowed to Li Rong.
Upon hearing Zhao Ning's words, Li Rong smiled and said, "My name is Li Rong, which is not worthy of your honorific name. As for my background, I cannot disclose it."
"So it's Young Master Li, my apologies for not recognizing you sooner." Upon hearing Li Rong's words, Zhao Ning quickly waved his hand and said, "I wonder if Young Master Li and Gu Sang are facing any difficulties? If there's anything I can help you with, please don't hesitate to ask."
"Thank you for your concern, Young Master Zhao. However, I don't need any help at the moment. Perhaps Gu Sang does. Why don't you tell me first, is there any difficulty you are facing that you can help us with?"
Li Rong looked at Zhao Ning and said with a smile.
After hearing Li Rong's words, Zhao Ning hesitated for a moment, then looked at Gu Sang and said, "Actually, I would like to find a doctor with superb medical skills. I wonder if you could find such a doctor for me?"
After hearing Li Rong's words, Gu Sang nodded, "Of course, there's no problem with that."
"Thank you, young lady."
Upon hearing Gu Sang's words, Zhao Ning quickly expressed his gratitude to Gu Sang.
"No need for such formalities."
Gu Sang waved her hand and said, "However, there is something I would like to ask you, and I hope you will not refuse."
"Please speak, young lady."
After hearing Gu Sang's words, Zhao Ning looked at Gu Sang and asked, "I wonder what you need me to do for you, Miss?"
"It's actually very simple. I need your help to find a certain medicinal herb. I wonder if you have that ability?"
"Medicinal herbs?"
Hearing Gu Sang's words, Zhao Ning was stunned. "Such a precious thing, I wonder how many kinds of medicinal herbs the young lady needs?"
"Actually, there aren't many kinds of medicinal herbs; about fifty herbs will suffice."
