Cross the doghouse to save Party A, Your Highness owes me ten mines

Thirty miles south of Linshui County, in a deep mountain and dense forest, in Tangchi Villa, old eunuch Yu had just been helped out of the hot spring. He sat on an armchair, wrapped in a soft towel, enjoying the young eunuch loosening his already loose skin, while holding a palm-sized purple clay hat and a small teapot, sipping it one sip at a time.

"Yeah, not bad, give me a little more strength, right here on the back of the neck."

The young eunuch used both hands, clapping, clapping, clapping, until his hands turned red. He didn't know if it was because of the hot spring or because he was tired of the massage. His face was covered in sweat, and he still had to worry:

"Master, you see, we live so close to Tai... to the remnants of the previous dynasty, it's only a few dozen miles away. It will take only a few minutes. I feel..."

"What are you afraid of?" The old eunuch Yu looked down on his courage and said disdainfully: "Look at your tiny courage. If I were like you, I would never be able to become the chief eunuch even if I lived for several more lifetimes."

After saying that, he took another sip of tea, crossed his legs and taught: "So that you know, this hot spring village is surrounded by a pond, which is the best way to hide the smell of people. It is also sprinkled with medicine. Not to mention that it is difficult to find in the vast mountains and forests, even if he has a dog's nose and brings a hunting dog, he can't find it!"

"Master, you have great skills. I still have a lot to learn!"

"Hmph!" Old Eunuch Yu snorted disdainfully, stood up and ordered, "Let's go!"

After coming out of the hot spring, I put on my clothes and passed by the brightly lit outer hall. Looking at my reflection in the bronze mirror, I subconsciously straightened my back. I felt that my hunchback had improved a lot in the past few days.

After serving in the palace with a hunched back for a lifetime, I finally got to be a human for a few days!

"Reporting to the chief steward, the person has returned."

"Let him in!"

"Yes!"

The door opened, and the man in black, covering his arm, came in, knelt on the ground, and reported:

"Reporting to the steward, everything has been done. A veteran's leg and a rookie's hand were chopped off, and the other two were at least seriously injured. I'm afraid their banquet is going to be in an uproar. Who would have thought that the veteran who had already taken off his armor would lead our people away, so we were lucky enough to succeed. But the remnant had countless capable people around him, biting as hard as dogs, and many people were killed. Fortunately, except for my subordinates, no one knew where the steward was. He took a long detour in the forest and was delayed for a day before he dared to come back."

"Well, our family is always at ease with your work."

"But our people were captured alive after all!"

"What's wrong with that?" Old Eunuch Yu didn't take it seriously at all. He threw the small teapot onto the table as casually as if he was throwing away a few carrots.

"I'm not afraid that they will know that our Majesty and these people have long been mortal enemies. It's a pity that we lost some manpower and didn't know which miracle doctor saved people!"

The young eunuch was busy picking up the teapot, wiping the table, and refilling the teapot with new water.

Old Eunuch Yu frowned and said, "What are you standing there for? Why don't you quickly pour wine for this gentleman?"

"Yes!"

The young eunuch hurried behind the screen, picked up the wine jug that had been prepared long ago, poured wine for the man in black, brought out the tray, and waited for him to drink before retreating behind the old eunuch Yu.

The old eunuch Yu said, "Don't worry. Can the injury be cured? Is there a miracle doctor? We will know which miracle doctor did it sooner or later. Just wait and see whether the Liu family will announce the death!"

The man in black asked, "Master Chief Steward, there is one thing I don't understand. Why do you have to find a miracle doctor? Even if you can find one, someone will come if you offer him a generous reward. So what if they don't come? Is it necessary to go through so much trouble to find a miracle doctor?"

"What do you know, idiot!" Old Eunuch Yu picked up the teapot and played with it in his hands for a while before saying:

"Is there really a miracle doctor who has these two skills and can save the remnants of the previous dynasty? He miraculously pulled the dying man back from the hands of the King of Hell and reconnected the broken tendons. He was the former Black Armor Commander, who was a traitor and never took any action to eliminate him?"

You know, the Black Armor Army has been silent for more than a month, and they can't accomplish anything. They are making a lot of trouble, with notices flying everywhere. They also sent a secret letter to Kyoto saying that there are ghost soldiers passing through, saying that there is a man and a woman who are masters of Qimen Dunjia.

There are strange things everywhere.

"And what if, these are all true?"

"To be able to rescue someone at that time, to save him and bring him back to life, he must not be an ordinary person. He hid it so deeply and kept silent about how he cured the serious injury. Perhaps this is Jun Ze's secret."

"Butler, if we find Junze's secret, can we kill him?"

"Idiot, do you think it's that easy? Otherwise, why would we have to make this trip in person?"

"..."

"Only if we know the master behind him and what he relies on can we take action... In this world, there is no such thing as an absolute success. We can only take one step at a time and look for his flaws at all times."

"Master, great!"

"Put aside your glib tongue. Let me ask you, do you know what a doctor who can cure the disease of death and decay means to the imperial army? If we can have a secret recipe to make a large batch of miracle medicine..."

Speaking of the disease of rot, soldiers are very familiar with it. The man in black also looked serious, holding the wound on his arm tightly. Thinking of the fight yesterday, he was scratched by a stirrup picked up by General Liu. He felt the wound was severely swollen, his head was dizzy, and his complexion became more and more abnormal.

Old Eunuch Yu: "Go down and heal your wounds!"

"Yes Yes Yes!"

After the man left, Old Eunuch Yu murmured to himself: "But it's true that this remnant has ruined my face!"

After he finished speaking, he asked his apprentice to bring two pieces of paper. One was the tattooed face picture that the Black Armor Commander had sent to Kyoto, and the other was the disfigured face of Prince Junze that he had recently collected from the North.

He took both in his hands and read them under the candlelight, sighing as he read: "As expected of her son, he is a real character, just as stubborn as ever, he burned himself and ironed the words flat, he really has the heart to do it, but..." He sighed as he looked at his presbyopic eyes:

"…But the portrait is not very clear. Why are some of the small words missing? It's like they were never carved before? What's the problem? Light a few more candles."

"Yes!"

The eunuch went to find some candles. They had just moved into Shanye Tangchi Villa and might have to move to another place tomorrow, so many of their luggage were on the car, and naturally the candles were also on the car.

Only the old eunuch Yu was left in the room.

A small flying insect emitting green light flew in from the crack of the door and landed above the portrait on the table.

"Humph, I didn't expect there are still fireflies in late autumn!" Old Eunuch Yu finally had some leisure time. He stretched out his hand, but couldn't catch it. He stretched out his hand again, and the insect flew away. He stretched out his hand again, and the insect flew up and down...left and right...

"Hmph, beast, born in the morning and dead in the evening, do you know how to read when you are so close to me? It's a pity that the painting of these two portraits is a bit crude, and the injuries on Prince Junze's face are not very clear!"

A sharp voice sounded outside the door: "If you can't see clearly, I'll get closer so you can take a closer look?"

The old eunuch Yu's heart skipped a beat.

Before he could finish his words, the door was kicked open and he could clearly see that the guards in the yard had been captured silently.

Lou Junze came in under the moonlight.

"I remember the year you caned my mother, I was only six years old..."
