My husband, please respect yourself. The princess is here to grab the bride.

Chapter 154 What is a genius?

“Young Master…!”

Xiao Xi came running over like the wind, his eyes full of fear!

Following closely behind was Dongfang Meng, holding a long iron stick!

He walked past Xiao Xi and stood outside the pavilion. His slightly dull eyes looked in shock at Bai Shaoqiu who was lying on the table, and then at Zou Kongqing.

His brain suddenly froze!

What's going on?

One is his brother-in-law, and the other is his father's most trusted miracle doctor.

This miracle doctor knocked my brother-in-law down... Should I beat him to death with a stick?

Xiao Xi had already rushed over, she helped Bai Shaoqiu up, and at that glance, her face turned pale——

Bai Shaoqiu foamed at the mouth and his eyes were closed.

His face was as pale as paper.

No more breathing!

"Master...wow..."

She burst into tears, and turned her head to look fiercely at Zou Kongqing who was still sitting calmly!

She gently put Bai Shaoqiu down, turned around and swung her little fist at Zou Kongqing!

"You killed the young master!"

"I'll fight you...!"

Dongfang Meng felt a sudden pain in his heart when he saw Xiaoxi's sad and desperate look.

He yelled at Zou Kongqing, "Zou, what on earth are you doing?"

"Xiao Xi, get out of the way! I'm going to beat this bad guy to death with a stick!"

Zou Kongqing grabbed Xiaoxi's hand and looked up at Dongfang Meng, "All of you be quiet!"

Xiao Xi was like crazy, she bit Zou Kongqing's hand.

"hiss……!"

Zou Kongqing never expected that Xiaoxi would really fight for her life!

Xiao Xi didn’t let go of this bite!

There was blood flowing from Xiaoxi's mouth!

"He's not dead!"

"Girl, are you born in the year of the dog?!"

"Let go, he's awake!"

Bai Shaoqiu woke up slowly and opened his eyes slowly. Only then did Xiaoxi relax and look up at him.

Bai Shaoqiu grinned, with white foam hanging from the corners of his mouth.

Xiao Xi cried out "Wow...!" again.

"Master...you scared me to death!"

"If you die, how will I explain this to Grandpa?"

"When the master and his wife come back, how will I explain to them?"

Xiao Xi was terrified. At that moment, she cried with joy. It was as if all the strength in her body was drained away. She staggered and fell down.

Dongfang Meng stretched out a hand, grabbed it, and raised it up.

She sat on Dongfang Meng's shoulders.

Zou Kongqing looked at the teeth marks and blood on his hands, raised his eyes to look at Bai Shaoqiu, and said seriously:

"Do you understand now?"

"You only have one life... Your life is not only yours, but theirs as well!"

"How sad would she be if you died?"

"If the princess knew, how sad would she be?"

"Everyone who cares about you will be saddened by your death!"

"But your enemies will be celebrating with smiles and toasts!"

"This is my first lesson for you!"

“Learn to cherish yourself.”

"Learn to protect yourself, your family and friends!"

"Then you have to learn to be more ruthless towards your enemies!"

"At any time, in any place, facing anyone...even someone you know, you must remain vigilant!"

"Because the people who are most likely to hurt you are often people you know."

"Also, a master poisoner can use anything to poison you, making it impossible for you to defend yourself!"

"For example, just now, I put poison on the handle of this teapot because I knew you would pick it up, and if it touched you, you would be poisoned!"

"Time is running out, so don't drink this tea. Come with me and see the different types of poisons!"

"You must use the remaining six months to learn how to identify, detoxify, and create and administer poison!"

……

I originally thought that life in Baicao Garden would be peaceful and tranquil.

His original plan was to meditate and practice Qigong in the morning, and in the afternoon he would go to the study specially prepared for him at Sanwei Bookstore to write "A Dream of Red Mansions" behind closed doors.

Practice swordplay in the evening.

Also practice archery.

At night, I continued to hug the stone pillars, then took a bath with medicine, and finally went to bed.

but now……

Zou Kongqing seemed to be teaching Bai Shaoqiu as his successor!

Start with the structure of the human body.

Bai Shaoqiu did not expect that Zou Kongqing had such a profound understanding of the human body structure.

Zou Kongqing never expected that this fellow who looked like a disciple but not a disciple had a better understanding of the human body structure than he did!

This makes no sense!

Could it be that this guy has come into contact with corpses before?

Have you conducted in-depth research on corpses?

This made Zou Kongqing look at him with admiration, and he concluded that Bai Shaoqiu's real talent was not in literature or martial arts, but in poison!

This guy is not afraid of corpses at all.

Even in the middle of the night on July 15th, when Zou Kongqing took him to the suburbs and asked him to dig out corpses from a mass grave, Bai Shaoqiu was not afraid at all.

Even very happy.

"You... aren't afraid of ghosts?"

Bai Shaoqiu pieced together the remains of the rotten corpse and replied:

"What's there to be afraid of ghosts? They're just neutrinos."

"…What are neutrinos?"

"Well, you can think of it as... a ghost, or a dead soul... In short, it's something that can't be seen or touched, but exists nonetheless."

"After death, the body decays and the soul departs. So-called ghosts are actually souls that haven't yet gone to where they're supposed to go and are still lingering in the human world... They're invisible."

"Also, the will-o'-the-wisp you're talking about is actually caused by the high temperatures of decaying corpses exposed to the elements. You might see it on a summer night like this, but never in winter."

Zou Kongqing was stunned.

He stared blankly at Bai Shaoqiu fiddling with the rotten corpse, carefully collecting the poison from it. After a moment, he grinned.

What is genius?

This is the real genius!

So he taught more seriously and harder, and this talented disciple also showed his genius talent.

Bai Shaoqiu studied very hard and made rapid progress.

In the blink of an eye, it is July 28th.

Twenty days passed in such busyness after arriving at Baicao Garden.

Of course, Bai Shaoqiu is far from having learned all of Zou Kongqing's skills, but he needs to go out today.

Go to Changning Academy.

Zhuo and his entourage came yesterday and said that Mr. Qin invited him to meet him at Qiuyulu.

It must be the Qin family in Kyoto who wrote back to him.

Early in the morning, Bai Shaoqiu took Dongfang Meng and He Xiaofeng away from Baicao Garden in a carriage.

Zou Kongqing also returned to the palace.

When he arrived at the palace gate, the sun had not yet risen. Old Yu was already lying on the lounge chair outside the small house, looking at the morning glow in the east and drinking wine.

Zou Kongqing walked over, sat aside, and also looked at the gorgeous morning glow.

Old Yu turned his head to look at him and handed the wine bag over. "How about that kid?"

Zou Kongqing tilted his head back and took a sip of wine, then said with a smile:

"very good!"

Old Yu looked at the morning glow again and asked, "Isn't it a little late?"

"Time is a bit tight, but he really is a genius!"

Old Yu grinned:

"I won't make a mistake!"

Zou Kongqing gave him a sidelong look and sighed slightly: "What a pity..."

"What's a pity?"

"It's a pity that he still hasn't developed his internal strength."

The smile on Lao Yu's face gradually faded. They both stared at the morning glow in silence for a long time before Lao Yu spoke again:
