I had thought about this question on the way here. I wanted to ask my master about it privately, but I thought, what if my master gets angry if I ask for information right after I become his disciple?

"Maybe, I'm not sure. Don't be afraid, no matter where we go, as long as we are together, it's fine. I have a master now, and if I'm more obedient and behave better, I should be able to move around freely and see you often." Xun Ying naturally saw that these brothers and sisters, nephews and daughters were afraid.

But if he doesn't say so, what else can he say?

"It's all my fault. If I wasn't sick, everyone wouldn't have been arrested." Xun Qing said guiltily.

"Don't blame you, don't blame yours. The only one to blame is the hateful Wu Yu Country." Someone from Captain Shi immediately came to comfort Xun Qing.

"Therefore, I must practice martial arts diligently so that I will be able to protect Xixiang and you in the future." Xun Ying saw that a child was about to cry, so he quickly interrupted him.

Hearing him say this, the children's mood really changed; "Ninth Brother, you have learned it and you can teach us when you have time. Let's become stronger together and protect our Xixiang together."

Xixiang's guards felt sad and guilty when they heard this. At this time, someone came in with a few large bags. "Guard Lin, what's this?" Xun Ying asked in confusion.

Lin Chuan put the things on a stone table in the courtyard; "Madam asked me to send it." After saying that, he turned around and left.

The children looked at the things on the stone table curiously, not daring to move.

It was Xun Ying and Xun Fei who stepped forward, untied the thin rope on the outside, opened the outermost cotton cloth, and revealed oil paper inside. After opening several layers of oil paper, the contents inside were revealed.

"Peach Blossom Cake?" "Bean Cake?"

The children shouted out in unison, their eyes shining.

Several kinds of pastries were made by the largest pastry shop in Xixiangjing City, because the pastries had their shop's special patterns on them.

A younger one couldn't help but stretched out his hand to take it, but was slapped back by another older one. "Neither Brother Nine nor Sister Eleven said whether we can eat it or not."

The one who got beaten rubbed the back of his sore hand and looked timidly at Xun Ying and Xun Fei.

The two exchanged glances and nodded at the same time.

The children then reached out, took the cakes and immediately stepped back to let others take them.

"Nineth brother, eleventh sister, you guys eat too." Xun Qing got two pieces, but didn't eat them himself. He gave them to Xun Ying and Xun Fei respectively.

"You guys eat, I've already eaten when I went back." Xun Ying didn't take the cake. At this moment, Xun Ying looked at his brothers, sisters, and nephews who were eating happily around him, and he felt his face getting hot. He was only concerned about coming with the Yan people and wanted to become their apprentice. When he was about to leave the palace, he was in a hurry.

I only packed the things I needed, but I didn't think of bringing them some Western cakes, candied fruits, etc.

The first-rank lady was thoughtful enough to even bring them some snacks.

"Nineth brother, the lady is so nice. When you see her later, don't forget to thank her for us." Xun Fei said to Xun Ying with a smile, holding a piece of cake given by her nineteenth brother.

Xun Ying didn't say anything, just nodded, looked down at his toes for a while, then looked up again; "It's time for me to go over, I'll come back tomorrow."

"Okay, but, Brother Jiu, if it's inconvenient, you don't have to come here every day. You know, we are doing fine here." Xun Fei reminded him worriedly.

Xun Ying understood what the imperial sister meant, and responded immediately. He then reminded everyone to listen to Xun Fei before leaving.

After returning to the official inn, I thought of asking my master where I should live.

"Where are you going to live? Don't you have a place to live? Just live where you lived before." Wen Xiaowu, who was packing his luggage, looked up at Xun Ying and continued to work while speaking.

Xun Ying pondered for a moment and confirmed that he had heard correctly. "Master, are you saying that I should still live there?"

"Hey kid, are your ears not working well? Wasn't what I said clear enough? All the beds here are occupied. Who do you want me to kick out? Or, you can sleep on the floor?" Wen Xiaowu turned his head and frowned. "No, Master." Xun Ying wanted to explain, but didn't know where to start.

He really thought that after becoming his master's apprentice, he would no longer be able to live with Xun Fei and the others.

He was already very grateful and contented to be allowed to visit them.

"Stop talking. Remember, come to the open space behind the yard at 3:15 a.m. every day to find your master. You will be punished if you are late." Wen Xiaowu remembered and told.

After hearing this, Xun Ying responded happily, turned around and ran away.

Of course he hoped that he could still live with Xun Fei and the others, but he just didn't dare to think about it. He didn't expect that it would actually be possible.

The master and the first-rank lady trusted him. Xun Ying went outside happily, found the carriage he had brought with him, took out a few things he needed and took them with him, and asked Tu Zi for where to put the rest.

Xun Ying only knew that after returning to this border city, the team needed to rest and would not set off for the capital immediately, but he was not sure how long they would stay here.

If all the things on the carriage were unloaded, he would have to go through the trouble of loading them again. The most important thing was that half of the things in the carriage were his. He felt even more unable to face Xun Fei, Xun Qing and the others.

After Tuzi settled his carriage, Xunying hurried back to the yard.

"Brother Jiu, what are you doing? Didn't you come here before without their permission, so?" Xun Fei saw Xun Ying coming back, holding Bao Pei, and asked worriedly.

"No, no, Eleventh Sister, please stop guessing. My master said that I should still live here. I just need to get up at 3:15 in the morning and go there." Xun Ying explained quickly.

When Xun Fei heard this, she was also surprised and very happy.

When the sun was about to set, Li Hao came, holding a box, saying it was a gift to his master.

Mu Yingbao took it and took a look, and it turned out to be an old mountain ginseng.

There was no artificial cultivation of ginseng in this dynasty, so this old ginseng is genuine wild ginseng.

The quality is good, and the price is not cheap. "Master, I know you don't need this thing, but I really don't know how to get it.

So, Master, please don't despise me. Accepting it will make your disciple feel more at ease. "Li Hao saw that Master wanted to refuse the gift, so he quickly played the sympathy card.

My main job for the second half of my life will still be to practice medicine and save lives. There is no such thing as too much of a good thing.

Seeing that his master had accepted it, Li Hao felt relieved. "Master, will you take your disciple with you when you return to the capital?"

Ever since Master followed the Duke to Xixiang, Li Hao has been struggling with one thing at home all day. Master has accepted him as a disciple, but they will not stay in Qucheng for long. The purpose of becoming a disciple is to learn medical skills. How can he learn if he is not by the Master's side?

Ah? Mu Yingbao was stunned when she heard it. She hadn't had time to think about this question yet.

Since you have accepted someone as your apprentice, you have to teach him. You can't just leave a few medical records written by yourself and think that you are teaching your apprentice. That would be too irresponsible.

But, take him back to Beijing?

He is already sixty-six years old, which is a very auspicious number, but is it appropriate for him to be away from home at this age?
