You died to save me, I promise you a lifetime

A room in the guest house of the palace.

After Xu Mingtao returned to his room, he started busying himself preparing various medicinal herbs that might be needed.

After preparing a lot of things, I always felt that something was missing. I patted my head and ran to Mr. Xu's room.

"Grandfather, please lend me your life-extending pill and that hundred-year-old wild ginseng."

Old Xu looked at his grandson unhappily and said, "That's your grandfather's coffin money."

"Don't worry, I may not need it. I'm just worried about the worst. Grandfather, the prince promised to give me the hidden weapon once the matter is settled. I want it so badly."

Elder Xu felt sorry for his grandson and said, "A Zhao also said it before. He was worried that the old man would not be able to bear the shock. You should make full preparations in this direction."

Then he took out a small porcelain bottle and said, "This contains life-saving medicine for heart disease. Keep it with you. If you see something wrong, give him one right away."

Finally, he reluctantly took out the life-extending elixir and hundred-year-old wild ginseng from a dark chamber.

He said with a pained look, "Don't use it if you can. This thing is too rare! If that person wasn't Miss Mu's relative and too important to His Majesty, I wouldn't give it to you no matter what."

"Don't worry, don't worry..."

Xu Mingtao knew the origin of those two things. They were left to his grandfather by his grandfather's master when he was dying, and his grandfather protected them as if they were his life.

I just want to bring it with me to ensure everything goes smoothly.

The next day in the afternoon.

The group escorted the old man out of the house.

Mu Yunge held the old man's arm, feeling very worried, and called Mu Chun and others to go with him.

"When we're almost there, two of you should go in quietly and see how Second Grandfather is doing. See if he's been abused. If so, don't be polite and deal with it directly."

Mu Chun nodded in response: "Yes, I understand!"

Mu Yunge hesitated again and again, and finally said what was hidden in his heart with great effort: "Grandfather, if Second Grandfather turns against you, don't bother with him. It was their Second Branch who wronged us in the first place."

The old man looked at his granddaughter who was giving him orders and said cheerfully, "Don't worry, Grandpa is a veteran who has been through many battles."

At this time, Xu Mingtao's carriage stopped at the gate of the general's mansion.

After everyone said hello, Zhao Jingchen came forward and gave him some instructions, and then the old man slowly left with his group.

Mu Yunge looked at the carriage moving further and further away with concern, and did not move for a long time.

Zhao Jingchen stepped forward and said comfortingly: "Don't worry, your grandfather has been a soldier all his life, what kind of scene has he not seen?!

As for your second grandfather, although the reality is cruel, he has to face this matter. Although Xu Mingtao is young, he has already inherited the true teachings of Mr. Xu.

Mu Yunge felt as if a huge rock was blocking his chest. "Everyone understands the truth, but when you really face it, it's still hard to accept it."

Mu family farm.

Ever since the day when the second-house old master was knocked unconscious by Li's mother and daughter with Mongolian medicine and sent to a farm in the countryside, people from the farm have taken turns guarding him twelve hours a day.

The first few days were fine and they were polite to him, but when the old man gradually realized that something was wrong and started to make a fuss about going back to the city, they became impatient.

Cold words and harsh remarks, hunger and cold clothes are common, and deprivation of food as punishment also happens from time to time.

The second old master was old and had been injured on the battlefield. His health was not very strong to begin with, and after more than a month, his health condition deteriorated.

That day, he caught a cold and had a persistent cough. The people in the village just asked the doctor there to prescribe some medicine for him.

Finally, he couldn't bear it anymore and lay down.

The village head saw that something was not right and was afraid of taking responsibility, so he consulted with someone and finally decided to send the man to a nearby town for medical treatment by horse carriage.

When the village head and the driver went to carry him, he cursed, "Why don't you die earlier? You are causing trouble to the lady and the young lady..."

"You bunch of beasts, how dare you treat me like this? When my son comes back, he will definitely let him deal with you."

"Your son? Where is he? Why would he punish us? It was you who refused to cooperate, so who can blame us?"

"If I don't cooperate, am I your prisoner? I'd rather die. I won't cause any trouble to anyone if I die."

The old man was a stubborn man and refused to see a doctor.

This made the village headman extremely angry. He raised his hand and slapped the driver, and the driver also raised his fist.

The old man was beaten, and he felt sad and cried out, "Someone is being beaten, someone is being beaten..."

This was like adding fuel to the fire, and the village head raised his hand again in anger.

sudden.

His arm was grasped by a hand like an iron clamp, and he could not move.

Mu Chun was furious: "Is this how you take care of the elderly?"

The village head raised his other hand and said, "Where did you come from, you bastard? How dare you meddle in our business?"

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a "crack" sound, and the village head's arm was directly broken by Mu Chun.

"You have dirty mouths and abuse the elderly. You deserve to die!"

The village head covered his arm and screamed in pain, and was kicked out of the door by another secret guard.

Mu Chun bowed to the old man on the bed and said, "Second Master, I'm late. Are you okay?"

The old man wiped his tears and said, "Mu Chun, why are you here? I am bullied by them every day here. Please take me back to the city."

"Thank you for your hardship, but don't worry, I will help you deal with them. My old man is here too, he will be here a little later."

The second old man nodded repeatedly, with anticipation on his face, "Big brother is here, I want to see him!"

After an incense stick of time, the old man's carriage arrived at the farm.

The people in the village, seeing that the newcomers were quite impressive, became obedient and bowed as they approached and asked, "Excuse me, who are you?"

The old man was dignified without being angry: "I am Mu Shouren from the General's Mansion, and I am here to visit my brother Mu Shouyi."

Someone exclaimed, "Are you General Mu?"

"Exactly! Where is he? Who would like to help me show the way?"

The second old master's situation was a bit bad, and the adults in the village were too guilty to dare to show up.

At this time, a child of five or six years old stood up and said, "I know the way. I'll take you there!"

The old man glanced at the adults and took out a piece of silver from his pocket. "Good boy, take it. Go buy some candy later."

The child was hit by a big pie falling from the sky, and he jumped for joy and led the way.

When we arrived, we saw the village head and the coachman lying in the yard, groaning and unable to get up.

"How is this going?"

The secret guard hurried forward, pointed at the two men and reported: "Old Master, when we arrived, they were beating the Second Old Master. The old man was very ill."

The old man's face suddenly darkened.

"You beasts, you eat my Mu family's food, take my Mu family's wages, and yet you bully your master?"

Those who had bullied the second old master were frightened by the old man's murderous aura and hid behind others, not daring to say a word.

The village head protested: "He refused to cooperate, always clamoring to go back to the city, and refused to seek treatment when he was sick. We were just a little anxious, and no one bullied him."

"You still dare to quibble?"

The old man looked at the onlookers, then at the village head and the driver, "Drag him to a farther place and beat him to death!"

The village head and the coachman were so scared that they begged for mercy loudly.

The old man flicked his sleeves and walked quickly into the house.

"Shou Yi!"

Looking at his skinny brother lying on the bed, the old man gritted his teeth in anger.

"Brother!" The second old man felt aggrieved like a child and started crying.

"Don't cry, let the doctor see you first."

He then led Xu Mingtao to the bedside. After taking the patient's pulse, Xu Mingtao's face darkened...
