The ancient martial arts master traveled through time

Chapter 16: The Old General and Ruan Xiao9 Conversation

As he said this, he pushed open the door and entered the room. Seeing the old general sitting on the bed looking much more energetic, he felt relieved. The mansion had been in turmoil these days and he had to be on guard against sneak attacks and assassinations at all times.

Butler Luo greeted him and said, "General, you called me?"

"Where's Xiaojiu? Where did she go?"

"The young lady is outside in the pavilion. Do you need to go find her?"

"Tell her to come over and tell her I'm awake. By the way, where's Jun'an? How is he?"

The young master is still sleeping in the outer room and will probably wake up soon. This old servant has already made all the arrangements outside, so the general doesn't have to worry.

The old general thought of the dead Nguyen soldiers and said: Bury the dead properly, give their families more money and comfort them.

"yes………".

General, you haven't eaten for a day. This old servant has prepared some food. Please eat something and take care of yourself. With you here, the general's mansion will not collapse.

I can't eat now and I don't want to eat. Where's Xiaojiu? Did she eat?

Not yet. The young lady said she is not hungry yet and will have dinner with you in the evening, replied Butler Luo.

Let’s prepare it first! Let’s eat together when Jun’an wakes up.

"Yes" If there is nothing else, I will go and call the young lady to see you!

Wait a minute, since Xiaojiu is awake, let Xiaocui come back. After all, Xiaocui has been taking care of Xiaojiu since he was a child. I’m afraid Xiaojiu won’t be used to being served by someone else.

"yes"…….

Butler Luo went out. Although the old general had just woken up, he was still a little tired. He had hardly had a good sleep in the past few days and was tense all the time. The old general was sitting on the bed, pinching his eyebrows to relieve the discomfort in his head, when he heard someone knocking on the door, dong dong dong...

Then, Ruan Xiaojiu pushed the door open and walked in... The old general was sitting on the bed, smiling, watching Ruan Xiaojiu approach step by step.

Ruan Xiaojiu came to the bedside and shouted, "Master, you're awake. How do you feel?" He silently took the old general's hand and took his pulse.

The old general let her do what she wanted without stopping her, but just looked at her lovingly.

After a while, Ruan Xiaojiu let go of the old general and casually threw a ball of light at the old general, allowing the healing power to help the old general slowly recover from his physical discomfort.

Grandpa, there's nothing wrong with you anymore. You just need to rest well. Although you look pale, that's because you haven't eaten well, slept well, or rested well for many days.

Ruan Xiaojiu sat on the edge of the bed, wanting to speak but hesitant. She wanted to ask where her handsome man Ye Tingshen had gone, and why the General's Mansion had been assassinated so many times. Why were there rumors that the assassination was carried out by people sent by the Medicine King Valley?

Seeing that Ruan Xiaojiu had something to say but didn't open his mouth, the old general simply said: Xiaojiu, just say it if you want to say it. There is nothing you can't say between you and me, grandfather and grandson.

Ruan Xiaojiu was exposed and asked openly, "Grandpa, where is Ye Tingshen?" Where did he go?

The old general felt somewhat unhappy when he heard his granddaughter mention the war god of the enemy country. His granddaughter saw that he was always bullied in the hostage house, so she brought him to the general's house, but she didn't expect that he had already planned the time to escape.

So he said, he ran away. I don’t know when he started planning. He ran away on the night we entered the palace and ran back to Zidan Kingdom. He should have returned to his own country now.

Only when Ruan Xiaojiu heard the old general say this in person did he truly believe it. Ye Tingshen had indeed run away.

She couldn't describe her current mood. She felt calm, yet also uncomfortable. She couldn't quite put her finger on it. Angry? No. Sad, not really.

What's wrong with me? If someone had dared to betray me like this in the past, Ruan Xiaojiu would be a coward if he didn't skin and bone that person.

Now, I am so calm, it's like the sun is rising from the west.

But… Ruan Xiaojiu gave a strange smile. Even if she didn't like or wanted a man, she wouldn't allow him to escape without permission. If he did, he would have to pay the price. This was the dignity of being the head of the Guwu family. Ruan Xiaojiu looked across the room into the distance, her lips curved. "Ye Ting Shen… wait for me."

The old general saw that Ruan Xiaojiu was silent and had a blank look in her eyes, thinking that she was hit hard, so he persuaded her, Xiaojiu, don't be sad, that man is not worthy of you at all, grandpa will find you a better one in the future.

Ruan Xiaojiu came back to his senses, suppressed the discomfort in his heart, and said: Grandpa, I'm fine, don't worry, he's just a man, I don't care about him.

Seeing that his granddaughter was really not affected, he felt relieved, but then he thought about her coma.

He asked: Xiaojiu, you have been in a coma these days. Grandpa is very worried. Grandpa wants to know what happened after you came back from the palace that day that caused you to be in a coma.

Grandpa was terrified at the time, thinking it was an enemy who had snuck into the house and done something to you while they were off guard. However, it seems that wasn't what Grandpa thought.

When Ruan Xiaojiu heard her grandfather's question, she didn't know what to say. She couldn't say that she had entered the ghost world and entered the dreamlike life set up by the Ghost King!

I had to say that maybe I was too tired, so I slept too long. I don’t know what happened exactly.

After hearing Ruan Xiaojiu say this, he didn't ask any more questions and lowered his head in thought.

Suddenly thinking of Siqi's situation, he said: We only found one plant of the Twin Lotus you mentioned, and we have given it to your uncle. Because your uncle has been in a coma for many years, we didn't feed him much, and I don't know if it will work.

I've checked on my uncle, and he's fine for now. Since he can't eat much, I'll just find a few more plants.

The old general was speechless. How could it be so easy to find? We used all our connections but only found this one.

Ruan Xiaojiu didn't respond and asked again: "Master, tell me what's going on in Medicine King Valley? Are all the assassinations really sent by Medicine King Valley?"

When Ruan Xiaojiu asked about the assassin again, the subject was instantly changed.

He is from Yaowang Valley, or rather, he is someone who wants to please Yaowang Valley. Every year, many disciples of Yaowang Valley go down the mountain to gain experience, and countless people seek free medical treatment. Of course, they will also make friends with some capable and talented people in the world.

Yaowang Valley announced to the outside world that our General's Mansion had killed their direct disciple and refused to give any explanation, and bullied them that there was no one in Yaowang Valley, so they wanted to hide in the deep mountains and not come out into the world.

Everyone thinks that it is the fault of our General's Mansion. It was the General's Mansion that angered the Medicine King Valley, so people from the martial arts world came to assassinate us, and rich people hired people to assassinate us. They were all people who stood up for the Medicine King Valley.

As time went by, we were assassinated almost every day. These days, the assassins were more numerous and more powerful than the last.
