Chapter 265 Gambling on Half a Chance of Survival
The arriving deputy general and strategist saw:
The laundry soldier lay prone on the ground, too afraid to raise his head.
The prince, with his ethereal and elegant bearing, kicked the general's buttocks repeatedly.
The general dared not dodge; he kicked the general and the general staggered forward a few steps.
Head bowed and shoulders shrugged, the former hero has turned into a coward.
What's wrong?
The great general who was highly regarded just moments ago has fallen out of favor in the blink of an eye?
"Your Highness, Your Highness, don't take it to heart with the general. He's a rough man who has been stationed at the border for over three years. He's long since forgotten all the manners he learned before!"
Calm down, calm down!
The strategist rushed over to smooth things over, and even used his tattered feather fan to vigorously pat Gu Chengye.
It's like a father trying to protect his son by playing a self-inflicted injury trick.
It's really strange. Just now, His Highness the Crown Prince was so composed and refined, yet he immediately condescended to thank them, making them feel flattered.
What did the general do to anger people?
Judging from His Highness's appearance, he was truly furious, as if someone had desecrated his imperial tomb.
Ji Ruyan put out the fire.
As a general, he couldn't afford to lose face in front of his subordinates.
"From now on, do not touch my things without permission."
He left, clutching the red string in his hand.
Gu Chengzhou was also a jinx.
In the end, he only got a red string!
"General, what happened? What did you do to His Highness?" Everyone rushed forward to ask.
"I don't know, may I ask?"
Gu Chengye clicked his tongue. "I only washed one piece of clothing. It seems like something inside got soaked and ruined?"
The strategist slapped his fan: "General! You're too reckless! That must be something extremely important. It might be a map of His Highness's troop deployment, or perhaps a drawing of new weapons! Or maybe it's another list of medicinal herbs for us!"
"Oh dear, no wonder His Highness is so angry!"
Gu Chengye: "...Really?"
That's really bad!
He turned around and yelled at the soldier, "You don't even bother to rummage through your clothes before washing them!"
"General, I know I was wrong!"
"What's the use of making a mistake? The water's already ruined!"
Gu Chengye was displeased. It was only the first day of His Highness's arrival, and he had already made His Highness unhappy.
It's all Gu Chengzhou's fault!
If he doesn't sleep, and you explain His Highness's preferences to him properly, he definitely won't touch His Highness's things.
You brat!
Gu Chengye went to find Gu Chengzhou again.
They pulled Gu Chengzhou's ear and woke him up.
"Brother! What are you doing? Can't you let me rest a bit before I go back to training?"
Before Gu Chengye could even speak, Gu Chengzhou had already launched into a tirade.
"Let me tell you, His Highness is very good to me. He doesn't force me to train at all. He even said I'm extremely smart and that he'll give me an important position in the future. If you need someone to train you, go find Zhang Lin and Mu Daye. His Highness said he'll train them!"
"Shut up! I have something to ask you!"
Gu Chengye recounted the events.
Gu Chengzhou knew it immediately.
What else could make His Highness anxious? It must be that string of treasures he wears on his wrist!
"You're finished! You're finished! Hahahaha... You've finally met your match. Don't even think about His Highness ever looking at you again... Hahahaha... As long as you don't force me to train anymore, I'll tell you what happened..."
That damn brat, how dare he mess with him?
"Guards! Strip Gu Chengzhou naked and hang him at the city gate so that all the girls in the city can admire the handsome young general!"
...
Ming'an County.
Lu Qingqing sighed and covered her forehead after hearing Mo Lang's story about the boy's urine.
To prove his son's innocence, Mo Lang was truly loyal and devoted.
When he and Fu Leng rescued Ji Ruyan, they were traversing desolate mountains and wilderness.
The prince vomited blood and urgently needed a doctor.
They happened to encounter a herb gatherer in the mountains, so they captured him to rescue him.
The man fiddled around for a while, grinding some herbs, and claimed that he still needed "resurrection water" as a guide.
The "resurrection water" is the urine of a young boy.
It can draw lung heat downwards, and has remarkable effects on vomiting blood, coughing up blood, injuries from falls and blows, and suffocation due to blood stasis.
But in the desolate mountains and forests, there wasn't a soul in sight, so where could one find that boy's urine!
Unexpectedly, after taking the pulses of Mo Lang and Fu Leng, the doctor claimed that Mo Lang's yang energy was abundant and had not been leaked. Although he was older and not as good as a child, he was still manageable.
How dare Mo Lang do such a treasonous thing!
Even if it were genuine boy's urine, he and Fu Leng would not allow the young master to drink that filthy stuff.
The two refused on the spot, insisting on carrying the young master on their backs and traveling day and night to find a doctor to save him.
The doctor continued to persuade, "Otherwise, we can use the patient's own urine. He's also of pure yang constitution, so even if there's poison in his urine, it won't matter. We'll try anything, no big deal..."
Fu Leng and Mo Lang were so angry they almost killed the doctor.
In the end, the two men did not dare to disgrace the young master. They squeezed some medicine into his mouth and then took turns carrying him and running wildly until they reached the outside of the mountain to find another doctor.
He didn't take what the doctor said seriously at the time.
It's only when things get urgent that you think of it.
The young master has the urine of a child, so isn't he a child?
"Right? Miss Lu, you're a miracle doctor, you should understand this, right?"
"I understand! This is all nonsense! At most, it shows that he is not a womanizer, but it doesn't prove that he is a virgin."
Only the person in question knows whether they are a virgin; no doctor can tell.
Okay, let's not discuss this anymore.
Send someone to the city gate.
Ji Ruyan had said before that he had never been with a woman, and she believed him. She had only asked casually, but she hadn't expected Mo Lang to take it so seriously.
Does he even realize he's gossiping about his young master's private affairs?
They were about to pull his son's underwear off.
"oh."
Mo Lang sounded a little dejected.
He felt that this was obvious.
The doctor clearly saw through him.
Miss Lu must have said that on purpose!
The young master is completely innocent!
...
At this time, Wumen County was a hundred miles away from Ming'an County.
A grand courtyard with a vermilion gate in the city center.
The Xu residence.
The room was decorated with silver gauze curtains and a carved mahogany bed. The person on the sickbed was emaciated, clutching the hand of a young man standing in front of the bed, tears streaming down his face.
“Nephew Yuting, if this blood transfusion fails, it will be a misfortune from heaven. My family’s vast assets may fall into the hands of our enemies. Could you, could you marry Fengshang and help the Xu family protect our assets?”
"Uncle Xu, this... I will definitely help. There's no need to trouble Sister Fengshang..."
At this moment, Lu Qingqing's face popped into Wan Yuting's mind.
In fact, his father had proposed marriage to the Xu family several times while he was alive, but he had never agreed.
Xu Fengshang is a good girl, but he only sees her as a younger sister and can't have any other thoughts about her.
“Yu Ting, your father only ever had your mother as his wife. He was a man of deep affection and loyalty. I trust your father, and I trust you too. Only by marrying Feng Shang can you stand against my clansmen and protect my young son, Yu Ting…”
Mr. Xu was panting heavily, his strength waning.
Wan Yuting felt uneasy and lowered his head, remaining silent.
"Yu Ting, I beg you, the Xu family business, you two and Feng Hua each get half..." Old Master Xu grabbed his hand tightly.
They forced Wan Yuting to agree.
He has already used various connections and spent a high price to invite the eldest disciple of the Holy Physician Sect, who is just waiting for him to make arrangements for his death before starting the blood transfusion, gambling on the chances of survival for the other half.
But Wan Yuting still didn't agree.
"Uncle Xu, you won't die."
