The old man slapped the apprentice's hand away and reprimanded: "Why did you give that copper bell to a stranger? It made the master think you were in danger and rushed over in a hurry."

Disciple Yuan Bao explained aggrievedly: "I was anxious to get out of trouble, and those people were holding me back, so I could only use it to deal with it temporarily."

The old man snorted, turned around and walked towards the woods.

Yuan Bao hurriedly followed, and kept explaining with a small mouth: "Master, if I are arrested, I will have to eat at least dozens of boards, and maybe even have to spend several months in prison, and I will not be able to come back to serve you. So, isn’t it a good deal to exchange a copper bell for the disciple’s safety?”

The old man scolded without looking back: "You don't want to study medicine with me at ease. You might as well be arrested and go to jail to let me have some peace and quiet."

Yuan Bao came up to support the old man with a playful smile and said, "Master loves Yuan Bao the most! Yuan Bao bought him salted duck to eat, and his favorite Zui Qingfeng!"

As she spoke, she raised the thing in her hand and waved it in front of the old man's eyes, with a showy smile on her face.

An old man and a young man walked into the depths of the woods talking and laughing.

Chu Yunyan and the others hid behind a slope not far away and witnessed everything.

"What's the background of the old man?" Chu Yunyan looked at Yue Zixin and asked.

Yue Zixin thought for a while and said, "But it's hard to say what I just saw. I didn't see anything special. But the other side of the woods is more special. If they live on the other side of the woods, then The identity is very special.”

"What's so special about the other side of the woods?" Chu Yunyan asked curiously.

"This forest is a dividing line. This side is a safe and worry-free place to live, but the other side of the forest is a dangerous place filled with all kinds of miasma and poisons. If ordinary people accidentally break in, they will There is no possibility of survival, and it is difficult for people with good skills to come back intact." Yue Zixin explained with a solemn expression.

Chu Yunyan glanced at Yue Zixin and asked, "Have you been there?"

Yue Zixin shook his head and said hurriedly: "I don't think I have a long life."

Chu Yunyan looked at Yue Zixin's expression that changed instantly and said with a smile: "You're not stupid."

Yue Zixin rolled his eyes at her and said, "What, you want to explore there?"

Chu Yunyan looked at Yue Zixin like a fool and said, "I just praised you for not being stupid, so why are you so stupid now? Do you think I am such a curious person?"

Yue Zixin looked at Chu Yunyan seriously and shook his head slowly.

He recalled the scene when the two met. He persuaded Chu Yunyan to take in the child, but Chu Yunyan refused. He then accused her of being unsympathetic, and in the end she was left to work. In his eyes, Chu Yunyan was indeed not a good person. A person who acts recklessly.

Chu Yunyan glanced in the direction of the woods, stood up and said, "Let's continue on our way!"

Mo Chong secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that his princess was safe, and it was still very stressful for the prince to entrust him with the responsibility of protecting the princess' safety.

Chu Yunyan and the other two rode back to the official road and continued moving forward.

Riding on horseback and galloping into the wind, Chu Yunyan was thinking about how many days her elder brother Chu Yunze should have arrived at the southwest border. She didn't know if she had found any business opportunities, or whether Mu Feibai had found the detoxifying herbs for Gu Qingxuan. Is it gone?

At this time, a carriage slowly drove into Langzhou City.

"Your Majesty, we have arrived in Langzhou City." Tie Yi reported to the carriage.

"Where are they?" Gu Qingxuan asked in a deep voice while sitting in the carriage.

"I received the mark left by Mo Chong about two hours ago." Tie Yi replied.

"I know, take a short rest and move on." Gu Qingxuan ordered.

"Yes!" Tie Yi responded.

The carriage stopped in front of a restaurant. Gu Qingxuan got out of the car. Several people entered the restaurant, asked for a private room, ate something simple, fed the horses, and prepared to continue on their way.

As soon as I got downstairs and before I walked out of the restaurant, I heard someone shouting in the lobby.

"TMD, if you dare to steal my money, let me catch you next time and see if I don't peel off his skin!" A middle-aged man with a fat head and big ears angrily clapped his palms with a fan in his hand.

"Mr. Shen, it must be the little beggar from outside the city who did it! I've been stolen twice too!" A young man with a greasy face next to him said angrily.

"Isn't it hard to catch a little beggar?" someone asked.

"That man is like a loach, very slippery. I almost caught him today, but he was let go! Do you think it's irritating or not?" Master Shen said angrily.

"I heard that the little beggar's identity is not simple!" Someone gossiped.

"How complicated can a little beggar be?" someone asked.

"Didn't you hear that he lives outside the city? He lives on the other side of the woods fifty miles outside the city. It's not a place where everyone can go."

"Yes, yes, yes, I heard that the ghost doctor often haunts there. Maybe that little beggar has something to do with the ghost doctor!"

Everyone was talking about it.

When Gu Qingxuan walked to the counter, he suddenly felt a discomfort in his chest and couldn't help but cough lightly.

The shopkeeper inadvertently raised his eyes and glanced at Gu Qingxuan, his expression changed slightly, and he couldn't help but said: "This guest officer——"

Gu Qingxuan raised his eyes to look at the shopkeeper, but the shopkeeper was shocked by Gu Qingxuan's cold eyes and said nothing for a moment.

Tie Yi and Jing Lei stepped forward, blocking Gu Qingxuan behind them, and asked warily: "Shopkeeper, what advice do you have?"

The shopkeeper did not dare to look directly at Gu Qingxuan anymore. Looking at the equally majestic Tie Yi and Jing Lei, he hesitated and said: "I see that this guest seems to be unwell. I wonder if I can find a good doctor."

Tie Yi and Jing Lei heard that the shopkeeper noticed the prince's physical problem and looked at the shopkeeper carefully.

At this time, the shopkeeper regretted that he had talked too much, but he felt really uncomfortable in the middle of what he said, so he had to say: "Many of our people here are half-doctors, especially when it comes to poisoning. Let's take a look at a few of them. If you are dressed up to be rich or expensive, you should pass through this place. We have a master in using poison to detoxify here. If you are not in a hurry, you can ask him, maybe he has a way. "

"Thank you, shopkeeper. I wonder who the master of poison and detoxification the shopkeeper is talking about is?" Tie Yi asked, cupping his fists.

The shopkeeper said hurriedly: "It's the ghost doctor those gentlemen mentioned just now."

"Thank you, shopkeeper." Tie Yi thanked him, and then followed Gu Qingxuan out of the restaurant and back to the carriage.

"Your Majesty, do you want to ask about the ghost doctor?" Tie Yi asked.

Gu Qingxuan was silent for a while and said, "No, let's go!"

The carriage started slowly and continued moving forward.

Gu Qingxuan was sitting in the carriage, recalling the look of the shopkeeper's words just now, and couldn't help but wonder why the shopkeeper bluntly pointed out his poisoning and then recommended a ghost doctor?

The ghost doctor is an elusive and unidentified person. No one has seen his true face, and no one knows his origins. They only know that this person rarely travels around the world, but the shopkeeper asked himself to inquire about the ghost doctor. Don't let anyone doubt his intentions.

The carriage quickly drove out of Langzhou City Gate.

We will reach the border soon. Mu Feibai is clear about his physical condition. He will not do anything he is not sure about. Gu Qingxuan thought as he looked at the scenery passing by outside the car curtain.
