After reading the letter submitted by Chu Zhong, Xia Chengxuan's breathing was as heavy as an ox, and his whole body was trembling slightly.
That was the precursor to his rage.
After a long time, he took a deep breath, slowly closed his eyes, and whispered to the eunuch on duty: "Go and invite King Duan, King Rui and Shangshu Liu."
After the old eunuch took the order, he slowly walked out from the desk, walked to Du Chong, and said sternly: "Go down immediately and tell Xia Muzhou to dig three feet into the ground and turn the capital upside down. Find me the people from Jue!"
Du Chong silently accepted the order and retreated. Xia Chengxuan and Chu Zhong were the only ones left in the imperial study.
"Grandpa Chu, how is Yiyi doing now?" Xia Chengxuan's voice was faintly crying.
Who else in this world could make him pity and feel more distressed than this sister?
... ...
The Xu family is the host after all, and the "Shenque" courtyard where Hongchen settled in Zhenwu Temple was seriously injured by the people of the Salt Gang. Naturally, they can't escape the relationship.
When Xu Xiaoyi heard that Zhan Ming was coming, he hurried to the courtyard gate to greet him. Zhenwu Guan is a national view, which is different from those pure martial arts sects like them.
Fortunately, Zhan Ming only asked him for some healing herbs, which made him feel relieved.
Although both the Yan Gang and the Zhenwu Guan are potential rivals for the Xu family to seize the leadership of the martial arts alliance, in front of the martial arts school, it is natural to value peace and avoid trouble.
Zhang Suiguang understood, Xu Xiaoyi understood, and Zhan Ming also understood. Therefore, he just asked to borrow the herbs and said nothing else.
He didn't need to talk about it, but Xu Xiaoyi had to mention it.
"Please don't worry, Leader Zhan Ming. I will go back to Gang Leader Zhang and ask him to stay at peace while he is in Ruozhou and not to cause any more provocations. Miss Bai's injury needs to be taken good care of. I will ask my subordinates to take care of the superior." I'm waiting for the Ganoderma lucidum, Cordyceps sinensis, and snow clam to be sent to the 'Shenque'. I hope Miss Bai recovers from her injuries soon."
Zhan Ming returned to the "Shenque", and the Xu family's palace maid carried three boxes of precious medicinal materials over. Zhi Lian opened them and exclaimed: "Oh, this Xu family is so proud!"
The amount of Ganoderma lucidum, cordyceps, ginseng, snow clams, etc. contained in it weighed at least a hundred kilograms, and they were all of the highest quality.
After Yun Xiaoyang gave Hen Hongchen acupuncture, he pricked several points on her ears and neck to make her fall asleep.
A ruptured spleen is far more painful than a broken arm and humerus, and many people die from the pain.
Hate Hongchen has been trained since she was a child, and her ability to endure pain is far beyond ordinary people. Even though she has been hurt all year round, she still couldn't help but groan.
"Ghost King Acupuncture" includes an acupuncture called "Sleeping Immortal", which is used to make people sleepy, and it comes in handy now.
Seeing that there were so many precious medicinal herbs placed in the courtyard, Yun Xiaoyang was delighted. She found two young Taoist priests, explained the heat and time to them, and asked them to open the dishes and cook the medicine.
Zhan Wei and Mei Yuanchen chatted in the back hall for a long time. Now they finished talking about business and walked out together.
"Let me just say, Zhenwu Guan never likes to get involved in Jianghu affairs. Why is this Wulin Alliance meeting so exciting? It turns out it was Chengxuan's instruction."
"Senior Brother Zhanwei is right. The Xu family and the Yan Gang are too powerful. Regardless of their intentions, they are a hidden danger to the court. If they are allowed to lead the Wulin League, the court will be unable to do anything to them. As the emperor, Chengxuan not only has worries about the border and people's livelihood, but also worries about the power of the world... I am his adopted brother, so I should share some of the burdens for him."
"As for the matter of the martial arts school, Zhenwu Guan, as a national temple, cannot form an alliance with any sect. Otherwise, with the strength of Zhenwu Guan, Yufeng Escort Bureau, Suxin Palace and the Yan family, the Xu family and the Yan Gang may not be able to take over. It’s cheap. Since we can’t form an alliance right now, neither Zhenwu Guan nor Yufeng Escort Bureau is sure of victory.”
"Senior Brother Zhan Wei just said that he, Senior Brother Zhan Ming, and Senior Brother Zhan Qian played six games in Zhenwu Guan. Earlier when I was in the hall, I saw that Senior Brother Zhan Qian's face was a little pale and his energy was a little weak. I guess he was fighting Zhang Suiguang. From this point of view, Senior Brother Zhan Qian’s martial arts is only slightly inferior or half as good as that of Senior Brothers Zhan Ming and Zhan Wei. There is a tough battle to be fought. He is over seventy years old, so he will definitely suffer. No wonder Senior Brother let I'll be patient for a moment, everything will have to wait until after the martial arts alliance. Zhenwu Guan has no chance of victory. If several senior brothers are injured in front of the martial arts school, the chance of victory will be even smaller."
"Senior Brother Zhan Wei has been asking me how I am recovering from my injury. Most likely, he is worried about Senior Brother Zhan Qian and wants me to take his place in two of the matches. The sect is as kind to me as to the Mei family. Zhan Tong, Zhan Ren, Zhan Kong, Zhan Cheng... These twenty-two brothers and nephews also died because of my Mei family. Now is the time for me to repay my master. Even if they die on the martial arts school field, I have to win for Zhenwu Guan. One or two!”
He was so lost in thought that he didn't hear Yun Xiaoyang calling him.
"What are you thinking about?" Yun Xiaoyang pushed his arm and asked softly.
After Yun Xiaoyang came out, the old and young Taoist priests of Zhenwu Temple dispersed, leaving them alone in the courtyard.
"Ah?" Mei Yuanchen finally realized what he was doing and replied with a forced smile, "Oh, it's nothing."
He wanted to ask, "How is Haitang's injury?" But he held back the words.
When he first saw Hen Hongchen, Mei Yuanchen only noticed that her appearance was almost the same as Haitang's. It was only later that he realized that when he held her hand, he clearly felt a strong inner strength.
Haitang has never practiced martial arts, so it is impossible for him to have such deep internal strength.
"She is really not Haitang... Haitang is gone after all."
Thinking of this, his heart felt as if someone had stabbed him again.
"Miss Bai is in good health, and with these herbs sent by the Xu family, two or three months of warming and tonic will be enough." Yun Xiaoyang said to him softly.
Of course, she didn't mention the most crucial point, her golden needle technique.
Mei Yuanchen naturally wanted to hold Yun Xiaoyang's hand. He didn't want to be avoided by her, so he had to smile and say: "Yun'er, thank you for your help!"
"What's the point? I study medicine just to save and help people." Yun Xiaoyang lowered her head and replied. She paused, looked up at Mei Yuanchen, and asked softly, "I'm going to see senior sister in a moment. Miss Bai is a woman after all, I want to take her to Suxin Palace to recuperate, what do you think?"
She had to perform acupuncture and cleanse herself every day on Hen Hongchen. All the people in the Zhenwu Temple were men, which was really inconvenient.
Mei Yuanchen knew her concerns and replied sternly: "Yun'er, you are still thoughtful. Haitang... It would be best for Miss Bai to go to Suxin Palace to recuperate."
... ...
Yun Xiaoyang went back to the room to see Hen Hongchen and then left.
Mei Yuanchen saw her out of the courtyard and knocked on Zhan Ming's door.
Zhan Wei and Zhan Qian were also inside, and the three of them were drinking tea.
"Junior brother, please relax. With Hall Master Yun here, Miss Bai's injury will recover soon." After Mei Yuanchen sat down, Zhan Ming said to him with a smile, "To be fair, Zhenwu Temple will definitely treat Zhang Suiguang Get it back!"
Over the years, Zhenwu Temple has never suffered a loss from anyone in the world, and today is the first time. Not only Mei Yuanchen was furious, but the old and young Taoist priests of Zhenwu Temple were also holding their breath.
Mei Yuanchen nodded gratefully to him, then turned to address Zhan Qian seriously: "Senior brother, you are old, why don't you let me fight in the martial arts school for you?"
