Chapter 1039 A group of black-clad men quietly sneaked in un

r was indeed somewhat murky. Even though the villagers had dug irrigation ditches that were half a meter deep, the mud at the bottom was still dry.After being cleansed by the spring water, all the dus...Dr. Yao panted and wheezed as he circled the Hou Mansion, his old arms and legs weary from the exertion. Where on earth was that young General Zhao

"You are, Dr. Yao" Zong Bai had a good memory, although he had only been in the capital for a few days, he had done a lot of homework in advance.

He remembered almost everyone he had ever met in the palace.

Doctor Yao didn't have that good of a memory. He was taken aback when he saw Zong Bai.

"Who are you"

Gong Bai bowed to him.

"As the younger brother of Marquis Wuding, seeing that you are the imperial physician here, does my elder brother perhaps reside nearby as well"

"Haven't you given my brother a shot yet"

Zong Bai asked more and more eagerly, when Doctor Yao heard that the other party was the brother of Marquis Wu Ding, he knew he had found the right person. But hearing the following questions, he felt a cold sweat.

"This, Madam Hou asked me to come out and find you. Or shall we go see Lord Hou first and then talk"

The Lord is in the little house by the lake.

The needle has already been inserted.

"Wuding Hou didn't say that his family members wouldn't allow him to get vaccinated either. While he wiped the sweat from his brow, Zong Bai had already hurried over to thank him and run away."

Doctor Yao realized that General Xiao Zhao was not there. No, wait a minute, young Master Zong had also left without saying anything. Where could General Xiao Zhao be Madam Hou specifically requested for him to come.

Could he possibly have to circle around the Hou Mansion again

"It was killing me."

As soon as Doctor Yao moved, he ran into General Xiao Zhao in just a few steps. He was overjoyed.

"Excellent, General Xiao Zhao, the Marquis' residence is looking for you."

Zhao Yun saw Dr. Yao and was also very excited, rushing over and grabbing his arm, almost shaking the old man's head dizzy.

"Dr. Yao, where is my general Haven't you given him acupuncture yet This needle mustn't be used!"

Dr. Yao was so dizzy he could barely utter a complete sentence.

"Hmm, hmm!"

Zhao Yun was getting impatient. Seeing the old man keep silent for so long, he simply let go and asked in the direction his finger pointed.

"You mean my general is over there"

Dr. Yao nodded hastily, one hand still covering his mouth, lest he make an inappropriate gesture on the spot.

“Fine, I’ll go check it out myself.”

"No, if the old man has already injected the general, he'll still need to be here later."

Zhao Yun pondered for a moment, then retreated and with a long arm scooped up the physician Yao in his grasp. In the midst of Yao's cries of alarm, Zhao Yun hoisted him onto his shoulder.

"Doctor Yao, I apologize for the inconvenience. My general still needs your help with his health."

"If anything happens to him, both of us will be in trouble."

He had barely finished speaking when he suddenly ran towards the lakeside. Yao, the imperial physician, was so shocked his wits nearly left him. When Zhao Yun arrived at the hut and set him down, the old man slumped to the ground with a thud and fainted instantly.

Zong Bai heard the noise and walked out from the inner room, seeing Dr. Yao fainted on the ground, his brows furrowed tightly.

"This, how did Doctor Yao faint"

Zhao Yun innocently scratched his head.

"This old geezer is too weak! He fainted after just a few steps. Knowing the general was here, I didn't have time to wait for him to walk slowly."

How is the general

Zong Bai could finally see how people in the army acted. Were they all this reckless

"Big brother is temporarily safe, Dr. Yao has already inserted the needles, sister-in-law said that we have to wait until tomorrow morning when he wakes up to know the results."

"During this period, absolutely no one is allowed to disturb Big Brother. Once he receives any external stimulation, there is a high probability that he will fail prematurely and may even be in danger."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Yun immediately patted his chest and said, "Master Xiao Zong, please rest assured. I will stay here and won't go anywhere. Not even a fly will get close to him."

What should we do about Dr. Yao now

Zong Bai raised an eyebrow. "Sister-in-law said she needed Dr. Yao's help to simmer some medicinal soups. With you knocking him unconscious, this is a job only we can handle."

Hearing this, Zhao Yun embarrassedly raised his hand and touched his nose.

"I don't know either what this old man would be dizzy about."

"What kind of soup should we make Is it difficult Can the two of us handle it"

Zong Bai helplessly rolled up his sleeves, "Let someone who understands medicine do it, they'll definitely be better than the two of us. But you've confused everyone else, so we have no choice but to bite the bullet."

"Come on, let's find some clean jars and a stove first."

The medicinal herbs were all measured out in the formula. Zhao Yun helped gather the ingredients, and the two of them began working outside the small hut.

"I have experience in brewing medicine, General Xiao Zhao should be careful of his surroundings."

His mother had been taking medicine for over ten years when she was in Xizhou. The three siblings were already very familiar with the process of concocting medicine after all these years. Just now, they only said that to scare Zhao Yun.

As the most trusted subordinate by the big brother, his reckless actions will sooner or later lead to heavy losses.

"Alright, I'll go patrol the perimeter. Logically, this is the Marquis's residence, and even if he hasn't officially moved in, everyone in the capital knows our general is in the emperor's favor. No one should dare to barge in."

Zhong Bai’s expression turned serious as he said, "It’s always better to be cautious and meticulous in everything."

"A cautious ship sails for ten thousand years."

Zhao Yun felt that Xiao Zong was a bit overbearing, but the following sentence still made some sense. He nodded.

"Alright, I'll go now."

"Be sure to take good care of the general's medicine."

Zong Bai hummed in response, inside lay his older brother, a figure who had been both elder brother and father to him since childhood. He wouldn't let anything happen to his medicine even if he got hurt himself.

Zhuge Yun didn't need to worry about this at all.

However, what his sister-in-law said to him before he came out just now worried Zongbai very much.

Sister-in-law said, she still had that bad premonition in her heart, not knowing if something worse was going to happen next, or if she just felt like big brother would...

Zong Bai hurriedly interrupted his thoughts and shook his head violently. How could he think like that His elder brother would definitely be safe and sound. His sister-in-law's medical skills were so powerful, even more skilled than Dr. Yao and the entire Imperial Medical Bureau. She must have a way to protect her elder brother well.

Zong Bai took two deep breaths and began to simmer the medicine. Time passed bit by bit, and none of the three said a word about eating.

Perhaps they were hungry, but no one had the appetite to eat.

Fang Jinshi had been accompanying Zong Yu the whole time. Seeing that it was already dark outside, she thought about the two people outside who hadn't eaten yet, especially General Xiao Zhao. To protect their safety, he needed to eat to keep his energy up.

She took out food from the spatial storage and sent it outside.

Zong Bai heard the sound of the door opening, stood up and looked up, "Sister-in-law."

"Are you all hungry Let's eat something."

"Tonight the three of us are probably going to have to keep watch over your older brother all night, none of us will be able to sleep."

"My heart has been racing, we absolutely can't sleep."

Zong Bai nodded. He originally wanted to say he had no appetite and didn't want to eat, but thinking that his big brother might need them at any time, he thought about it and took the food over.

"Sister-in-law, you should eat some too. Big brother still depends on you to take care of him."

Fan Jinshu smiled reluctantly, "Well, take these to General Xiao Zhao. I'll stay and watch the fire."

Zong Bai nodded, took Zhao Yun's dinner in his hand and turned to find him.

Fang Jinshi turned around and closed the door, then squatted by the medicine furnace, watching the fire.

Just then, a group of men in black snuck into the mansion of Marquis Wuding under the cover of night.e Fang Jinshi just did it as soon as she appeared.The three people who were originally arguing in a heated manner instantly shut their mouths and fell silent.Yu Lian walked up to Fang Jinxiu huffily,...
