Black Fairy, the master is a female ghost

After a small disturbance, everything returned to calm.

The next day, Lu Xunhuan went to train as usual.

However, in the Zhongzhou area, a continuous drizzle began to fall from the second half of last night. Lu Xunhuan just wanted his soldiers to leave the city and practice rain warfare.

Wei Ying watched for a while, her whole body was soaked by the rain, and she sneezed several times in succession.

Lu Xun Huan turned to look at her and said, "Master Wei, you should go back. It will be troublesome if you catch a cold."

Wei Ying frowned: "Cold?"

Lu Xunhuan reached out to touch her forehead.

Wei Ying stretched out her hand to block it: "You mean the cold?"

Lu Xun Huan nodded: "Yes, you should go back soon. I see your lips are a little purple, I'm afraid you caught a cold."

He turned around and shouted, "Come here, escort Lord Wei back to the city."

After Wei Ying left, the soldiers continued to struggle in the mud and water until dusk.

Lu Xun Huan said to Zhao Yi, "Brother Zhao, I seemed to have heard some rumors last night. Do you want to have dinner together?"

Zhao Yi wiped the rain off his face and asked, "Where did this rumor come from? Is it about me?"

Lu Xunhuan turned his horse's head and said, "Brother Zhao, you know what he's been up to lately."

Zhao Yi followed on horseback: "Haha, isn't it just a trip to Mingyue Tower to broaden your horizons? It's not worth making a fuss about."

Lu Xunhuan asked, "How is Mingyue Tower?"

Zhao Yi said, "Brother, you've been there before, so why are you asking me?"

Lu Xun Huan laughed out loud: "Haha, I was being followed, so I hid. I went in through the front door and went out through the back window."

Zhao Yi said, "Lord Lu came and went so quickly, yet he is still missed. He is quite charming."

Lu Xunhuan turned around: "What?"

Zhao Yi smiled: "I heard that Miss Liu Fei'er, the top girl in Mingyue Tower, has fallen in love with Lord Lu at first sight and misses him more and more every day."

Lu Xun Huan remained noncommittal: "Brother Zhao, you're exaggerating."

The two returned to Zuoying, took a shower, changed into clean clothes, and then went to a big restaurant for dinner together.

After a few drinks, Lu Xunhuan said, "I heard that Brother Zhao pretended to be a guest from the north last night."

Zhao Yi smiled slightly and said, "Did Brother Lu go there in person, or did you hear about it from others?"

Lu Xun Huan said, "That's not the point. I heard that the royal family is particularly sensitive to the things Brother Zhao has won. I don't know what Brother Zhao is thinking. The Sixth Prince came to Zhongzhou last time just for that thing. Aren't you afraid that the Prince will find out and confiscate your house?"

Zhao Yi straightened his face and said, "Brother Lu, thank you for your concern, but you are worrying too much. I have already sent someone to deliver the thing to the Sixth Prince."

He continued, "Didn't the family of the old man whose body was stolen a while ago pick up a piece of that thing? Later, it disappeared. Zhao heard that it was being sold at an auction house, so he went to take a look. He was lucky enough to buy it and send it back to the prince for research."

Lu Xun Huan stroked his chin. "This auction house is really bold. They even dare to help others auction that thing. Aren't they afraid that the Sixth Prince will come and shut them down?"

Zhao Yi said, "Brother Lu may not be very familiar with the auction industry. According to the laws of the Empire last week, apart from the imperial seal and fixed assets of the state and individuals, auction houses can auction almost everything. Even if something is involved in a crime, the auction house will not be held responsible, only the client will be investigated."

Lu Xun Huan thought, "It's so loose, it gives many people loopholes to exploit."

Zhao Yi picked up the wine pot and poured wine. "The auction law was written by the Second Prince. It was written as leniently as possible. The Second Prince opened the largest auction house in the country in Kyoto City. He once publicly auctioned a female prisoner who was convicted of a capital crime. Brother Lu, have you never heard of it?"

Lu Xun Huan was stunned and said, "Is there such a thing? Doesn't that mean he can just find a random reason to sentence someone to death and become a human trafficker?"

Zhao Yi smiled and said, "There are still many things that will surprise you. If Brother Lu goes to Kyoto City in the future, don't be surprised. Just pretend to be deaf and dumb."

Lu Xunhuan listened without saying anything.

The two drank a few more glasses of wine, and Zhao Yi said, "Brother Lu, how about going to Mingyue Tower later?"

Lu Xun Huan declined, "I have something else to do, so I won't go with Brother Zhao."

Zhao Yi laughed and said, "Haha, Miss Liu Fei'er has been looking forward to seeing you every day. Ever since she met Brother Lu, she no longer receives guests. At most, she plays the piano and sings some music on the pavilion every day."

Lu Xunhuan raised his glass and said, "How could I have deserved this?"

Zhao Yi picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp: "Brother Lu, you are so impressive. Even the elders of Feixian Sect can serve as your bodyguards. How many people envy you."

Lu Xun Huan poured him a glass of wine and said, "That was just a joke. How dare I really let Elder He be my bodyguard?"

Zhao Yi asked, "Really? Didn't he help you save people last night?"

Lu Xunhuan picked up his wine glass and said, "Brother Zhao is quite well-informed about the news in Zhongzhou City."

Zhao Yi changed the subject: "Brother Lu, Feixianmen is begging you because you have a way to make Qin Xinjing break through to Tengyunjing 100% successful, but if this gets out, I'm afraid there will be trouble in the future."

Lu Xun Huan asked, "What's the trouble?"

Zhao Yi said, "Right now, only the two major sects of our Zhou Empire are looking for you, but there are many immortal cultivation sects in this world. If the news spreads to other places, people will come to capture you and rob you. Wouldn't that be troublesome?"

Lu Xunhuan touched his chin and said, "That's a problem."

The meal lasted more than an hour.

After having a good meal and a good drink, Lu Xunhuan returned to the courtyard in the south of the city.

He asked Zhao Yi to have dinner with him tonight just to test the waters.

The dragon bone was so sensitive, yet Zhao Yi dared to take a picture of it. He must have had his reasons.

Later, Zhao Yi drank too much and talked about how Elder He helped him save someone last night.

Very few people know about this.

Apart from Elder He, Lu Xunhuan, Qingdai, Ye Feihong, the captain, Zhou Fenqing and others, perhaps the only person who knew about it was the masked man who wanted to kill Zhou Fenqing.

Later, he kept wondering who the masked man was and whether he was related to the Sixth Prince.

Therefore, he invited Zhao Yi to dinner today, and also wanted to test the matter.

He didn't know how to start, but Zhao Yi took the initiative to bring up the matter.

He roughly understood it in his heart.

Zhao Yi and the masked man have a secret connection.

He returned to the small courtyard in the south of the city and sat alone in the room thinking for a while when someone knocked on the gate.

Ye Feihong opened the door and asked, "Who are you looking for?"

The man said, "I was sent by the prefect to say that Lord Wei has a very high fever and is in danger of death. Lord Lu was asked to go and see him."

Lu Xunhuan heard this in the room, and hurriedly stood up and opened the door: "Feihong, come with me."

In the residence specially prepared by the provincial government for distinguished guests sent by higher authorities, a group of people surrounded Wei Ying, who was unconscious with a high fever, and were helpless.

Lu Xunhuan arrived with Ye Feihong, pushed through the crowd and walked in.

Wei Ying's face was red with fever and her lips were blistered. She was only breathing but had no consciousness.

He reached out and touched Wei Ying's forehead, which was scorching hot.

If this were in the world of the previous life, if we measured it with a thermometer, it would probably be over 40 degrees.

If the temperature doesn't drop quickly, it will be fatal.

He asked, "When did Lord Wei develop a fever?"

A maid who was in charge of serving Wei Ying replied, "Lady Wei had a slight fever when she came back this morning. She took a bath, changed her clothes, and went to sleep without eating lunch. I asked a doctor to see her. He prescribed a prescription and made a decoction. She drank it once, and by the evening, she couldn't be woken up no matter what we did."

After listening to her lengthy report, Lu Xun Huan asked, "Did any other doctors come to see you later?"

The maid replied, "I have come to see him. The doctor asked me to wipe Sir Wei's body to reduce his temperature, but no matter how hard I tried, Sir Wei's high fever would not go away. I..."

As she spoke, she was about to cry.

Lu Xunhuan turned around and asked Cao Ruhai, "Sir, is there any ice in the prefecture?"

Cao Ruhai looked helpless: "Where can we get ice in this season? Besides, it's warm in Zhongzhou. Even in winter, it rarely snows."

Lu Xun Huan touched his forehead and said, "If we don't save him now, he's going to die. Let's try our best."

He ordered, "Everyone, go out, sir, and bring a pot of strong liquor, the stronger the better."

Cao Ruhai stroked his beard and asked, "Why, are you going to force her to drink?"

Lu Xunhuan said, "No, bring it here quickly."

He called out again, "All men, get out. Scarlet, you and her stay."

After a while, the men all left the room, and Lu Xunhuan asked, "Do you two know how to scrape?"

The two were confused: "What is Gua Sha?"

Lu Xunhuan said, "The cooling effect of rubbing her body with cold water is no longer noticeable. Once the wine is brought, try rubbing her body with it. The alcohol will evaporate and quickly lower her body temperature. Once her temperature is slightly lower, use scraping to bleed her and release the heat."

Ye Feihong asked, "What exactly is scraping?"

Lu Xun Huan asked, "Do you have any copper coins on you?"

Ye Feihong fumbled for a moment and took out a copper coin: "Yes."

Lu Xun Huan said, "After her temperature has dropped a bit, one of you will use a copper coin dipped in wine to scrape both sides of her spine on her back until they are dark red. The other one will gently rub her ears until they turn purple. Then use a needle to prick them and let the blood out. Do you understand?"

The two nodded: "Understood."

After a while, Cao Ruhai sent someone to bring the wine: "Master Lu, this is the original liquor, not blended yet."

Lu Xunhuan took it and closed the door: "Feihong, bowl."

Ye Feihong quickly brought over a bowl: "Give it to me, young master."

Lu Xun Huan poured wine into the bowl and said, "You two, take off all her clothes. She has a fever, and you're still covering yourself up so thickly."

As he spoke, the wine was already poured. He turned around and faced the door: "Put down the curtain, strip her naked, turn her over, back facing up, and rub her body with the wine, monitoring her temperature as you rub."

The two women did as he said, lowered the curtains, and worked busily beside the bed, stripping Wei Ying naked. They turned her over and wiped her body with the wine.

After a while, Wei Ying let out a vague moan.

Ye Feihong quickly touched Wei Ying's forehead: "The temperature has dropped."

Lu Xunhuan said, "Hurry up and do the scraping and bloodletting."

After an incense stick of time, Wei Ying opened her eyes and felt a burning sensation on her back. The most important thing was that she was naked and reeked of alcohol.

Ye Feihong asked with concern: "You're awake, how do you feel?"

Wei Ying asked weakly, "What are you doing?"

The maid replied, "We are saving you. If it weren't for Master Lu's good method, we wouldn't know how to save you."

Wei Ying asked again: "Lu Xunhuan?"

Lu Xun Huan said, "Yes, if it weren't for me, you would be dead tonight."

When Wei Ying heard Lu Xunhuan making such a noise in the room, she felt embarrassed and anxious. She quickly pulled the quilt over him and said, "Asshole, get out!"

Lu Xun Huan instructed the maid, "Give her plenty of warm water."

After instructing the maid, he said to Ye Feihong, "Feihong, go make some porridge."
