Chapter 587 Fellow Apprentices Surnamed Gu
The idiot, who thought that he had the upper hand a moment ago, blushed with rage at this moment.
He opened his eyes wide like a dead fish and couldn’t breathe a trace of fresh air no matter how hard he tried to open his mouth.
This was because he was tightly seized by the throat by a pair of long and slender hands at this moment.
“Who are you talking to?”
Long Tianyu’s cold eyes were as sharp as a knife capable of cutting his throat.
Only at this moment did the idiot realize that the man in front of him was definitely not a nice person.
But no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t free himself at all.
“I’m telling you one last time. You are unqualified to negotiate with me. Your life is in my hands.”
As he said, he suddenly tightened his grip, as if he could break the idiot’s neck immediately as long as he tried a little harder.
Doctor Gu, who was seized by Long Tianyu off the ground, rolled his eyes and struggled to touch the ground with his feet.
He probably had never expected that he would be strangled like a chicken.
“Stop! Your Highness, please spare his life!”
Outside the tent, a figure suddenly appeared.
Then he hurriedly tried to save the idiot, who was courting death in various ways.
Long Tianyu showed a cold smile and turned around to look at the man in front of him with disdain.
The man dressed in blue clothes with a slender figure looked a little too weak.
Nevertheless, he had very delicate facial features and looked like a decent man.
Unfortunately, he enraged Long Tianyu again.
“Stop? Who do you think you are to ask me to stop?”
Long Tianyu was still seizing the idiot by the throat, and the idiot’s face had turned livid.
The man in blue clothes, who had just run in, knew that his junior fellow apprentice must have enraged the devil in front of him.
Immediately, he bowed to Long Tianyu, for fear that Prince Yu would kill his junior fellow apprentice accidentally.
“Please forgive him, Your Highness. My junior fellow apprentice didn’t mean to offend you. No matter what he has done, I can take the blame for him. Please spare his life, Your Highness.”
The man said so humbly that Long Tianyu had figured out his identity.
After a cold snort, he loosened his grip.
After that, the idiot collapsed to the ground like a puddle of soft mud.
“Doctor Gu, you’ve done a great job in saving the patients, so I spare his life for your sake. If he does it again, I’ll definitely kill him!”
Long Tianyu said indifferently as he usually did. Except for Lin Mengya and the people around her, he was even unwilling to show an expression in front of others.
The man in blue clothes, the real Doctor Gu, immediately helped his junior fellow apprentice up.
However, when he saw that his junior fellow apprentice had been tortured so miserably, especially the cyanotic marks on his junior fellow apprentice’s neck, he could not help feeling a little angry.
“I’m Gu Die. Your Highness, thank you for sparing his life. Nevertheless, I’m wondering which law my junior fellow apprentice has violated so that you are so angry.”
Long Tianyu walked to his seat and didn’t even cast a glance at this fellow who made no distinction between right and wrong.
There was no need for him to explain to this kind of person.
“I just want to kill him for no reason.”
In this world, he did not take anyone seriously except for her.
Therefore, he did not care if others misunderstood or hated him.
Gu Die suddenly stopped breathing and stood there in shock.
Even he didn’t expect this guy to be so arbitrary.
There was no point in saying more. Gu Die helped his junior fellow apprentice out of the tent in rage.
“Senior fellow apprentice... you must avenge me!”
As soon as they went back to their tent, the idiot cried and complained of his grievance to his senior fellow apprentice.
“Avenge you? What did you do so that Prince Yu almost killed you? Brother Xing, I told you before I left that you should behave yourself here and not do anything out of line. We are not at home at the moment.”
Despite his anger, Gu Die certainly knew about his junior fellow apprentice’s character.
Otherwise, he would not have rushed to Prince Yu’s tent to save his junior fellow apprentice as soon as he came back from outside.
Gu Xing evaded the issue vaguely, while not daring to mention what he had done at all.
Meanwhile, there was a hint of viciousness in his eyes.
However, Gu Die did not detect it.
“How did it go after I left? Did our prescription work?”
Knowing that there was no point in blaming his junior fellow apprentice, Gu Die could only sigh and sit down to ask about the situation.
When Gu Xing saw that his senior fellow apprentice stopped asking him about what he had done, his spirit was lifted. With a flattering smile on his face, he said.
“Senior fellow apprentice, you got the unparalleled medical skills. Of course, the symptoms lessened as the medicine took effect. Besides, we’re going to make a fortune soon.”
“Make a fortune? What fortune? When we came out, my father said that there was something behind this plague and we should not seek profit from it. Don’t do anything against my father. Otherwise, he won’t spare you.”
Gu Die immediately warned his junior fellow apprentice. Nevertheless, he turned around and fetched some medicinal herbs to treat Gu Xing.
However, Gu Xing curled his lip contemptuously, seeming to be very dissatisfied with Gu Die’s father.
However, he did not dare to show his emotion.
“Rest assured, senior fellow apprentice. I don’t dare to disobey master. They just wanted to thank us because we saved a lot of people with our medicine. Senior fellow apprentice, look at these things in our tent. We can live well with them in half a year!”
Gu Xing said complacently, seeming to be very satisfied with the current situation.
Gu Die didn’t notice them at the beginning, but now he raised his head and looked around.
He found that the tent, which was still very simple before he left, was filled with all kinds of precious antiques now.
He involuntarily frowned slightly, put down the medicine pestle in his hand, and solemnly looked at Gu Xing.
“Who sent these? How can you accept them? You clearly know the rules of our sect.”
However, Gu Xing showed an extremely innocent expression and said.
“Of course I didn’t forget them, but they insisted on giving us these things to express their gratitude. They said that if we didn’t accept them, they would stop taking the medicine. Besides, the land of our sect was given by someone saved by the founder of our sect out of gratitude. Rest assured, senior fellow apprentice, people gave these to us out of gratitude. Even if master knows it, he wouldn’t blame us.”
Gu Die still thought it a little inappropriate, but he gradually stopped thinking about it after being convinced by Gu Xing, who had a glib tongue.
According to the rules of their sect, doctors should not seek high positions and great wealth.
Nevertheless, as Gu Xing said, their obstinately refusing to accept the gifts would break the hearts of those patients instead.
However, these gifts were too valuable.
But he could exchange them for money and spend the money providing relief to the victims.
So he stopped hesitating at the moment.
“Well, we can accept them this time. Let me apply some ointment to your wound. Don’t mess with Prince Yu anymore. I heard that he’s a tough man.”
Gu Xing muttered a few more words. He was probably cursing Long Tianyu.
Nevertheless, Gu Die thought that Prince Yu was too overbearing.
Even if Gu Xing had made a small mistake, Long Tianyu should have dealt with Gu Xing after he came back.
If he hadn’t come in time, Gu Xing would have been killed by Prince Yu.
Long Tianyu was such an overbearing guy. Did Long Tianyu think that he could do as he pleased as a kinsman of the emperor?
He would never allow anyone to bully any member of his sect!
Long Tianyu, who was sitting in the tent, did not care at all about who hated him.
At this moment, there was a piece of detailed information about Gu Die and Gu Xing placed on his desk.
He opened the envelope and found that there were only a few lines of words on it.
It was only mentioned that they appeared two months ago, and then they quickly developed a prescription that could cure the plague.
Regarding their family background and origin, no one could track them down.
With his eyes turning cold, Long Tianyu thought that their names seemed to be fake.
The two men had fake names and acted strangely. What was their background?
It seemed that he had to find out the truth.
After thinking for a while, Long Tianyu said softly.
“Ye, tell Asura to track down the two men’s background.”
“Yes.”
He showed up silently and left silently.
No one knew how many secret guards like Ye were hiding behind Long Tianyu.
Nothing around the world could be hidden from him as long as he sent Asura to track it down.
Long Tianyu waved his hand and threw the useless information into the burning brazier.
If the two men really had something to do with the plague, he would let them know what the real hell was.
Sitting by the river, Lin Mengya soaked the picked cabbages in the water to wash them.
She checked on the mothers and their babies three times a day, chatted with the mothers, and then checked on the health condition of each baby.
After that, she joined the old women preparing fresh and low salt food for every mother and washing the clothes stained by the babies.
Life was busy and simple. She seemed to have found a new kind of fun.
Only after experiencing hardships could she realize how rare and precious this type of peaceful life was.
She seemed to have returned to the period when she worked as an intern in the hospital with her teacher.
However, conspiracies had never been away from her life.
Even if there were only women and babies around.
“Bad news, Madam. Please go back and have a look. There is a woman in the tent who has gone mad and wants to smash her baby!”
As soon as she picked up the cabbages, she heard the shout of Granny Zhao, who was in charge of taking care of the babies, come from behind her.
Lin Mengya turned around and saw Granny Zhao run to her with her face covered with sweat.
Granny Zhao grabbed her arm and dragged her to the camp.
“Slow down in case you fall down. What’s going on? Didn’t everything go well just now?”
However, Granny Zhao did not stop. She ran to the tent as fast as she could, while muttering.
“Crazy. A girl has gone crazy... She wants to smash her baby!”
