The Third Grand Master's mansion is in the same block as the original Regent's Palace, one at the east end and the other at the west end. The two mansions face each other far away, as if they are two mountains, controlling the Yelu people who live in this block.
When Shen Cha and Mei Lin appeared in this neighborhood, no one thought there was anything wrong. The relationship between her and the Third Master was no secret in Linhuang Mansion. Many people were not only surprised but also a little bit inexplicably happy about this. , it seems that after having this relationship, they can live in peace with Daxia and Shen Jiajun.
Hearing such rumors, Shen Cha sneered. They, Da Xia, were quite willing to live in peace, as long as Liao didn't play Da Xia's ideas and play tricks on them all day long. Otherwise, even if the person leading the troops is the Third Master, she will not show mercy.
"General, please!" The concierge went in to announce the guest's arrival. After a while, the old housekeeper personally came out and saluted Shen Cha who was standing at the door of the mansion. "Our young master asked me to confess to the general. Originally, he should I am here to receive you in person, but there is a critically ill patient who needs his visit at the moment, so... please forgive me for any neglect."
"You're welcome, it's important to save people, and I have nothing serious to do."
The old butler nodded in agreement with a smile, and led Shen Cha and Mei Lin through the first moon gate and towards the main hall. From a distance, they saw the Third Master waiting for them at the entrance of the main hall.
"My nephew has met my uncle!" Shen Cha quickly walked a few steps, walked up to the Third Master, and saluted the Third Master, "I haven't seen you for a long time, how are you doing, the Third Master?"
"Okay! Okay! Okay!" The Third Master walked down the steps, stretched out his hand to help Shen Cha up, and nodded towards Mei Zhu behind her, "People feel refreshed during happy events. My nephew has done me a big favor. My mood is comfortable and my body is healthy." Naturally healthy. Okay, don't stand at the door, go in!" He turned to the old butler and told the old housekeeper, "Tell the dining room to make lunch lighter and not too greasy. Also, make a pot of milk tea and pick up a few things. Delicious milk fruit delivered here."
"Yes, old lady!"
"I'll stay here for lunch today." The Third Master didn't give Shen Cha a chance to refuse, "It's your right to practice it."
"Yes, everything will be subject to uncle's arrangements." Shen Cha nodded, and after watching the Third Master sit down, he also sat down, then nodded towards Merlin, indicating that she would hand the things she had prepared in front of the Third Master. "If nothing else happens, we will set off back in two days."
"Calculating the time, it's almost time to go back. If there hadn't been so much trouble, you would have been home by now. Why did you stay here for so long? Speaking of which, it's my fault, a stubborn old man, for delaying you."
"That's not what I said. From your point of view, this is the right thing to do. If it were me, my choice would be the same as yours." Seeing the Third Master asking the old housekeeper to collect all the things he brought, Okay, Shen Cha continued, "Besides, it's not because of your incident that we stayed here until now. A lot of trouble happened later, so we have to stay until now. Leave us alone, and other missions can't leave either."
"So the rumors are true? Are the Jin and the Japanese really colluding together?"
"Yes!" Shen Cha nodded, "The confession has been obtained, and... someone from the Xiao family has also been involved."
"Stupid!" The Third Master slapped the table next to him hard twice, so hard that the teacup on it shook a few times, "What are the Japanese? They have sticky candies that can't be shaken off! And they can't kill people." I blinked, I was polite, chatting and laughing with you before, but if I turn around, I will do something dirty!" The old man was so angry that he couldn't sit still and walked around in the hall, "What's going on with the Xiao family? I think I died at the hands of the Japanese. Aren’t there enough people in there?”
"Calm down, Mr. Lan and Mr. Nan have already solved this matter, and several elders of the Xiao family have also been brought to justice. If nothing else happens, they should be executed in a few days." Shen Cha advised. He said, "Those who do bad things will not end well."
"Well done!" The Third Master angrily sat back on his chair and said to the old housekeeper, "You can go find out later and find out when the execution will be carried out. I'm going to have a look. I'll take it easy." Son!"
"Okay, don't worry, I'm sure to find out!"
The Third Master took two sips of the steaming milk tea, and after a while he calmed down. He looked at Chen Cha and asked, "Those who collude with the Japanese can be killed, but what about the Japanese? Speaking of which, their target this time is you." , Does Emperor Xia have regulations?"
"This is what our Majesty and the commander-in-chief of the Southern Territory need to consider. We are in the Northern Territory and have no control over the affairs there. But according to my nephew's guess, the Japanese will not have an easy time!"
"Just fight them. You can conquer them or destroy them. These people are a scourge. If we leave them alone, something big will happen to them sooner or later."
"Uncle, I'm not asking the right question, about your hatred towards the Japanese..."
"You want to ask me where my hatred for them comes from, right?" Seeing Shen Cha nodding, the Third Master took a long breath of relief and then said slowly, "It happened a long, long, long time ago. Our family has always been doctors, and we have always liked to travel around. My grandfather and his elder brother once brought their servants to the Japanese country. As a result...except for one servant who knew how to swim, he managed to escape. Everyone died in the hands of the Japanese." He looked at the old housekeeper, "To this day, he still can't forget that scene, right?"
"It's miserable, it's too miserable, it's unbearable to look at, general!" The old housekeeper shook his head and sighed, with a look of sadness on his face, "When we first arrived, the Japanese were very enthusiastic and brought out all the best food in their homes for us. After drifting on the sea for several days, we suddenly felt the warmth of home. But no one expected that they would turn against each other that night, massacre and blood flowed into rivers. After I was rescued, I thought for a long time before I figured it out. Their enthusiasm at the beginning was fake. They used illusions to deceive us and make us lower our guard so that they could take advantage of the opportunity to kill people and steal goods. General, they are no different from water bandits, they are even more vicious than water bandits."
"Does the housekeeper know how to swim?" Seeing the old housekeeper nod, Shen Cha sighed softly, "You..."
"General, there is no need to pity the old slave. I only regret that the old slave was too young and only focused on escaping for his own life. He failed to rescue the two young masters." The old housekeeper couldn't help but burst into tears. "This is the most guilty thing in my life. It’s over.”
"It's not your fault. The situation was critical at that time, and everyone who could escape was one after another. If you hadn't come back to report to us, how would we have known that the Japanese were so vicious!" The third master waved his hand towards the old housekeeper, "Speaking of which, Xiao My family also went to sea with my grandfather, but no one from their family came back. Now the descendants of the Xiao family have forgotten such a deep hatred, how sad!"
"Fortunately, there is still Young Master Xiao Fengqi in the Xiao family. His mind is always clear and he will not watch the Xiao family completely collapse."
"That's a good boy, but he's too minded, and his life will be too hard in the future." The Third Master nodded and looked at Shen Cha, "Let's not mention these troublesome things. Let's talk about your business. You said in the post , there is a medical record for me to see, have you brought it?"
"Bring it with me!" Shen Cha took the pile of medical records handed over by Mei Lin and placed it in front of the Third Master, "I can only find the ones from the last ten days, and going forward..." She shook her head gently, "It's not good. take it out."
The Third Master waved his hand for her to sit down. He picked up the medical records and read them carefully. After half a stick of incense, he put them back on the table.
"Have you read these?" The Third Master smiled and said, "Tell me what you think."
"My nephew has little talent and knowledge, and he can't understand anything too profound. But from a few medical records, I feel that the illness is not as serious as rumored, and the medication is also very gentle. It seems...it seems to be just used to regulate the body." Shen Cha observed the third master's expression, "What do you think, uncle?"
"Don't be deceived by the superficial symptoms. Taking medication smoothly does not mean that the person's illness is very mild. There is another condition."
"Uncle, what you mean is..." Shen Cha frowned slightly, "Is this medicine used for maintenance?"
"Yes!" The Third Master nodded, "Judging from the medical records and prescriptions, although this patient is not terminally ill, he is still very serious. The main problem is that the vitality is too severely damaged and it is not easy to replenish it. Come back. If he doesn't take a good rest, he will break the rules, and there will only be five years left." He raised his eyebrows at Shen Cha, "For you, five years should be enough, right?"
"Uncle, I..."
"No need to explain." The Third Master waved his hand, "Actually, I understand the thoughts of those two boys and understand them. According to your words, if I were them, I would do the same thing as them. Go back and follow them The two boys said that this recipe is okay. Let's drink it for a while and see how it goes. Let them learn more about the situation with the responsible imperial physician. If they have any questions, they can just come to me directly."
