Several more riders came from the front, but missed the second rider and followed the carriage far behind.
The people following the carriage were naturally the disciples of Wandong Tianfu. Although Li Wuhua did not dare to stop him, he could not let the old man take the people away casually. Naturally, he had to send people to follow him first and wait for Wandong Tianfu's final decision...
Inside the house, Hai Ruyue wandered anxiously. Every passing minute was a torment for her. She was worried about her son and her own fate. Her hands caressed her belly from time to time.
There were footsteps outside the door, and Zhu Shun stumbled in while holding on to the door frame. Although he was not seriously injured after being bounced away by the old man's wave, he was still badly beaten despite his age.
He couldn't walk easily, but he still managed to come over. He closed the door under Hai Ruyue's gaze and limped to Hai Ruyue, with a sad look on his face, "Madam, what is going on?
"
Hai Ruyue knew that he was loyal to the Xiao family and was very worried about Xiao Tianzhen's safety, "I also want to know what's going on."
Zhu Shun's eyes fell on her abdomen, which showed no abnormalities, "Madam, is what the ghost doctor said true?"
Hai Ruyue covered her lower abdomen with her hand, closed her eyes and shook her head, with a look of shame on her face, "Zhu Shun, I have told you about the Chiyang Zhuguo. You should understand our situation. Wandong Tianfu has started to take action. We must find a way to save ourselves."
Paul, I have no choice."
Zhu Shun trembled all over, staggered back two steps, and said with a trembling voice: "Whose is it?"
He had known for a long time that Hai Ruyue was having an affair with other men, not just one man, not just Li Wuhua. Earlier, before Hai Ruyue and Li Wuhua had that kind of relationship, they had some ambiguity with some important people in Jinzhou.
Not sure.
He has always turned a blind eye to this.
He also understands that when the Xiao family has reached that point, it is really difficult for the orphans and widowers to continue to support themselves. Hai Ruyue, the eldest princess of the Zhao Kingdom, actually has nothing to win over people's hearts. The Zhao Kingdom's court wants to control Jinzhou, so how can it do so?
Let the resources be used by the eldest princess. The only useful thing left for the eldest princess is beauty.
In his opinion, Hai Ruyue made sacrifices for the Xiao family. He was heartbroken and had no choice but to support her.
With a "bang", the door was kicked open. Li Wuhua, with a sullen face, stood outside the door, looking coldly at Hai Ruyue in the room.
After reporting the situation urgently and making arrangements, he rushed over immediately.
The people in the house were startled. Li Wuhua stepped in. When he passed by Zhu Shun, he shouted: "Get out!"
Zhu Shun lowered his head sadly and limped away.
Hai Ruyue was retreating step by step, and was forced back by Li Wuhua who was coming step by step. Li Wuhua's eyes were fixed on her belly. She subconsciously covered her stomach with her hands, bumped into the chair, fell down, and
Face tense.
Standing in front of her, Li Wuhua, who was condescending, asked the same thing, "Whose is it?"
Hai Ruyue was nervous and frightened, showing off her sympathy, and she was about to cry: "Who else do you think it could be?"
Li Wuhua's cheeks twitched. He actually had a guess. During Hai Ruyue's house arrest for more than half a year, other men except him were unable to hook up with Hai Ruyue.
Although he knew that the flesh and bones in her belly were his, Li Wuhua was still angry, bang! He waved his hand and slapped her loudly, causing Hai Ruyue to fall on the chair, "Bitch, I'll give you the elixir to recuperate your body, you
Has it stopped?"
Hai Ruyue covered her face that was suddenly red and swollen, slowly sat up straight, and said with tears: "I have known for a long time that it is not a pill to recuperate the body at all, but a medicine to prevent dark knots in my bead."
Li Wuhua's face looked ferocious, "You did it on purpose, do you think this can save you?" He stared at her abdomen with a cold look, and slowly made a fist with one hand.
Hai Ruyue realized what he wanted to do, covered her abdomen with both hands, and said urgently: "I know you want to kill me, but you have also seen the situation in Jinzhou. The Xiao family has been running for generations, and the trees are big and the roots are deep.
There are people who are deeply involved with the Xiao family in politics and business. Even if I give the order to clean them all, it is impossible not to cause any turmoil. No one below wants to see their family property destroyed. This matter
With so many people involved, Wandong Tianfu does not dare to clean up forcefully, so it can only take its time, and doing so will also weaken Jinzhou's strength and will not be of any benefit to Wandong Tianfu?"
"Zhen'er was taken away by the ghost doctor, which just solved the problem of Chiyang Zhuguo, and also proved that Zhen'er's disease is indeed related to the ghost doctor. Who can question that the ghost doctor can't cure Tianyin's damaged pulse? Currently, Jin'er can be stabilized
I am the best candidate to control the state's situation. When Wandong Tianfu has no worries, why should we weaken Jinzhou's strength? Why should we cause trouble for Wandong Tianfu itself when everything is calm? As long as you argue with reason, Wandong Tianfu will
Will consider it!”
"You also heard what the ghost doctor said. The son in my belly is your son. As long as I can continue to be in charge of Jinzhou, sooner or later the power of Jinzhou will belong to your son, and your son will be the future governor of Jinzhou!
Wuhua, you have been childless all your life, don’t you want to leave some incense to your family in this life? The ghost doctor said that the thing in my belly is a son, don’t you believe the ghost doctor’s vision? The flesh and blood in my belly are yours
Son!"
It was as if she had grasped the last straw.
Li Wuhua, who was clenching his fists, his eyes flickering and his face uncertain...
Lao Ba from Fufangyuan is back, back to Niu Youdao's hiding place.
Lao Ba is staying in Jinzhou not only to facilitate communication with Jinzhou, but also as a hostage held by Wandong Tianfu. If Xiao Tianzhen is not returned, Lao Ba will never come back alive.
When Shengyin Mountain was negotiating with the Ghost Mother, Guan Fangyi sent Lao Ba, and Jinzhou sent Lao Ba again this time. This shows that Lao Ba is good at communication and negotiation.
"Ghost doctor?" Niu Youdao, who was personally pouring tea for Lao Ba at the stone table, was surprised, "Ghost doctor Xing Fang took Xiao Tianzhen away?"
Lao Ba nodded: "That's right, Xiao Tianzhen returned to Jinzhou Fucheng and was kidnapped by the ghost doctor Xing Fang before he even stepped into the Governor's Mansion. The people from Wandong Tianfu told me personally. Wandong Tianfu asked me to tell you something.
I told Master Dao that for the sake of keeping his word, I would not argue with him. He said that the matter was over and asked you not to make a fuss about it again. Don’t think that they dare not fall out with Nanzhou and make trouble.
It's not good for anyone to get up, so please calm down!"
Niu Youdao frowned, a little doubtful that Wandong Tianfu was up to something, lest he continue to make a fuss about this matter. But thinking about it, it was wrong. Wandong Tianfu had no reason to leave Xiao Tianzhen to take risks. In other words, the ghost doctor he created back then
Did the disciple's treatment really alarm the ghost doctor?
This is not unfounded. Jinzhou has never publicized the treatment of diseases by ghost doctor disciples before, because the ghost doctors act in the style of ghost doctors and do not like publicity. Until here they began to threaten to send troops, Wandong Tianfu
I guess I was a little scared, so I spread some rumors and wanted to clear up the relationship, but in the end, the ghost doctor was really provoked.
That something like this could happen was something that he, Niu Youdao, had never thought of before. It really left him speechless.
Guan Fangyi on the side was also surprised. The ghost doctor Xing Fang, who had never seen the dragon before it was seen, actually appeared with a clear goal, which was to attack Xiao Tianzhen.
Niu Youdao here is making a fuss about Xiao Tianzhen. Wandong Tianfu has also been pinched because of Xiao Tianzhen. Now even the ghost doctor has come to attack Xiao Tianzhen. If Xiao Tianzhen is said to be okay, he won't believe it even if he beats her to death.
Guan Fangyi's bright eyes kept flickering, staring at Niu Youdao with a suspicious expression, as if she wanted to see a flower.
Yuan Gang, who was standing nearby, also frowned, not expecting such a thing to happen.
"What did the ghost doctor want to do by taking away Xiao Tianzhen?" Niu Youdao asked.
Lao Ba shook his head: "I don't know, I didn't see it, and Wandong Tianfu didn't say anything."
"It's a blessing or a curse that the ghost doctor actually intervened." Niu Youdao couldn't help but sigh, and then extended his hand to invite Lao Ba to drink tea, saying a few words of hard work.
After Lao Ba left, Niu Youdao asked Guan Fangyi again, "You know a lot of information. Do you have any special information about the ghost doctor?" He wanted to try his best to grasp the situation and be prepared.
.
Guan Fangyi sat with her legs crossed, shaking her fan, and said: "This man is so elusive that I don't have any news about him. There are only some rumors about him in the cultivation world. It is difficult for ordinary people to find him. By the way.
, I actually heard someone say back then that the ghost doctor might be someone from the Demon Cult."
"Demon sect?" Niu Youdao was stunned and asked, "How?"
Guan Fangyi said: "It is said that it is difficult for others to find the ghost doctor. Only the previous saint of the devil's sect can find it easily. It is said that the ghost doctor obeys the saint's words. It is said that the ghost doctor owes the saint a favor and joined the devil.
The ghost doctor left the devil's sect after the death of the saint. I don't know if this is true or not. The person who said this also heard it from elsewhere."
Saint? Niu Youdao tried to ask, "The previous saint of the Demon Sect was the saint who was involved with Zhao Xiongge?"
Guan Fangyi was startled for a moment, then giggled and said: "I forgot that you are from the Shangqing Sect. Yes, you are the demon saint who had an affair with Zhao Xiongge, the abandoned disciple of the Shangqing Sect. In terms of seniority, Zhao Xiongge should be your teacher.
Uncle, right? If the rumors I heard are true, Zhao Xiongge may know the ghost doctor, why don't you just ask Zhao Xiongge to find out, it's definitely better than asking me."
Niu Youdao served tea and drank water and stopped asking. He didn't like others to associate him with the Shangqing Sect.
However, Guan Fangyi refused to let him go, "I said, my father was a hostage in Jinzhou because of you, and he almost didn't even know how he died. Now that he is back, should I give him an explanation?"
Well, what secrets is hidden in Xiao Tianzhen?"
Niu Youdao glanced at her and said, "There are some things that don't need to be explained. Even if you know it, you don't dare to tell him."
Guan Fangyi chuckled, "It depends on whether you are sincere or not. Whether or not you tell others is my business."
"You really want to know?" Niu Youdao looked at her with amusement.
His expression made her feel uncomfortable, and she felt that the other person had no good intentions, but she still couldn't help being curious and said decisively: "I think so!"
Niu Youdao simply said this time, "Xiao Tianzhen suffers from the terminal illness of Tianyin's damaged pulse."
"You don't need to tell me this, I know."
"You know? Xiao Tianzhen's terminal illness was actually cured by me."
"You? Do you still have this ability? No, what does this have to do with what is going around in front of you?"
"I stole something from the Ice and Snow Pavilion to treat Xiao Tianzhen."
"..." After Guan Fangyi was speechless for a while, her face changed, and she seemed to understand something. She stood up suddenly, turned around and left, shouting, "Xu Laoliu, pack your things quickly and leave!"
