The daughter of the first wife grew up in the countryside and was extremely powerful

Gu Fanchu did not go directly to the pharmacy, but went to find Xue Yang.

Fang Bo and his men have already gone to the farm outside the city. It is said that they have already selected some people to go over, and they just need time to wait.

She asked Xue Yang to help her find a few reliable people to go to Miyun Mountain to pick up her two masters.

Although the journey is long, the money given is enough, so many people are still willing to go.

However, he didn't know whether the two old men would be willing to come to the capital, so Gu Fanchu personally wrote a letter and asked them to take it with them.

And he reminded them that if they still didn't want to, they shouldn't be forced.

Pay the money as is.

Xue Yang became more cautious in his work and calmer in his personality.

Gu Fanchu looked at it with satisfaction, and did not miss Qiutang's bright eyes beside him, and he understood it in his heart.

However, she would definitely not interfere in matters of love between men and women. If both parties were willing, she would naturally be happy to help them.

But if you force it, you will only become a pair of resentful couples.

Follow the will of Heaven and do what Heaven will allow.

When Gu Fanchu went out, he ordered the carriage to go to Xuanyue Hall, just missing the path of Madam Zhang's nanny.

This is a three-story herbal medicine shop with antique decoration. As soon as you walk in, your nose is filled with the smell of medicinal herbs.

This is a place that specializes in selling medicinal herbs. It only has one seat for consultations. There are no customers in the store at this moment. The doctor in a gray robe with a long beard is supporting his head with his hands and dozing off little by little.

Seeing the guests coming, a cute little boy with a round face and double buns came forward immediately:

"What medicinal herbs would you like to buy? We have everything here!"

Gu Fanchu looked at the child. Why would the shop owner let such a small child greet customers? His brows furrowed slightly.

"I'm not buying medicine today. I'm here to see your shopkeeper."

When the little boy heard that this lady with a veil and a very elegant appearance was not here to buy medicinal herbs, the eagerness in his eyes dimmed slightly.

"Do you have anything important to say? Our shopkeeper is not feeling well. If it's nothing urgent, I'm afraid it's inconvenient for me to see you."

The shop has had little business in the past two days, but Lao Zeng is not worried at all. Such a big shop has a lot of daily expenses.

If he continued like this, would he not get any salary for next month? That wouldn't be possible, he still had to save money to buy a house!

"If you follow him, his old friend will come looking for him. I'm afraid he will have to come out to see him."

Gu Fanchu maintained a kind tone.

The little boy was startled, and looked at the woman in front of him. His eyes rolled and he bowed with both hands: "Then Miss, please wait for a moment."

After saying that, he ran quickly to the back hall.

Qiu Tang murmured quietly, "Miss, if you want to buy herbs, just let this servant go. Why bother coming here in person?"

"It's okay, let's go sit down first."

Gu Fanchu waved his hand nonchalantly. This matter was not as simple as buying medicine.

Qiutang didn't know what to say, so she helped Gu Fanchu to sit on the only two stools on the side.

After a while, a deep roar was heard from the inner hall: "You little bastard! How dare you pull out my beard? I think you are tired of living. I will teach you a lesson today!"

"Eh...eh...no, Lao Zeng, don't be angry. I didn't mean it. There's a distinguished guest who wants to see you. Ouch, don't hit me in the face..."

The shop, which had no customers to begin with, suddenly became lively.

Gu Fanchu looked towards the dozing old doctor, only to see that he seemed used to it and was not disturbed at all.

After a while, the noise inside weakened, and a figure opened the curtain and appeared in the lobby, followed by the little boy who had covered his face.

"Hey, the distinguished guest is right there!"

The aggrieved voice made the middle-aged man in front smile at Gu Fanchu a little embarrassedly.

"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting, sir. I wonder why you two are looking for me? Do you need any herbs?"

Gu Fanchu carefully looked at the man in front of him through the veil.

The man was about forty years old, slightly plump, and dressed in a simple brocade suit. He had a kind face, and although there were some signs of the vicissitudes of life on his face, his eyes were bright, his voice was like a bell, and he was full of energy. At first glance, he was an energetic man.

Gu Fanchu withdrew his scrutinizing gaze, and with a calm expression, he took out something from his sleeve and placed it in his palm. He opened it at an angle where both of them could see him: "There are some things I want to discuss with the shopkeeper."

The shopkeeper did not miss the little action of the mysterious woman in front of him. When he saw what was in her hand, his pupils widened instantly, but his expression remained normal:

"In that case, why don't you come with me to the backyard to discuss this in detail, Miss?"

"it is good."

Gu Fanchu took back the things in his hand with satisfaction and followed the shopkeeper to the backyard.

The little boy on the side was still puzzled: "Lao Zeng, didn't you say you don't see guests? Why now..."

"Go pick up your herbs. If I catch you slacking off again, I'll dock your next month's wages."

Lao Zeng glared at the guy who interrupted him fiercely and made threatening remarks.

When the boy heard that his wages were going to be deducted, he immediately shut up and obediently went to the medicine cabinet to organize the herbs.

Gu Fanchu was a little confused. Could it be that this boss was withholding employees' wages?

Old Zeng naturally had no idea what Gu Fanchu was thinking. He led his men to the wing room in the backyard, but saw an old man with loose white hair and wearing a dirty, gray robe in the yard.

I coughed twice in embarrassment.

"Ahem, Lord Yan, someone is coming."

Hearing this, the man squatting on the ground, rummaging around, turned around instantly, and Gu Fanchu saw the old face full of wrinkles.

Hmm...this is the person grandpa was talking about, right?

"Miss...this is..."

Liuli's hand has already touched the weapon at her waist. This really doesn't seem like a good person...

"You two wait for me here, it's okay, they are trustworthy people." Gu Fanchu comforted the two maids and asked them to stay where they were, while he walked forward without hesitation.

The shopkeeper sent the person there and did not stay long before returning to the front hall.

Only when Gu Fanchu got closer did he see that the old man was digging up a plant planted in a flowerpot. No, not digging up, but planting.

"who are you?"

the old man asked.

Gu Fanchu took out the token given to her by her grandfather from her sleeve and handed it to the old man.

The latter took it, held it in his hand and looked at it carefully for a long time before confirming that it was real.

"When the old general dismissed our team, he just told us to recuperate. I didn't expect that we would be doing this for twenty years."

When His Majesty wanted to obtain this elite team, his purpose was to make them the emperor's death squad, which would ultimately lead to his death.

The old general took great pains to replace them, and only told them to wait. If he needed them one day, he would take out the token, hoping that they could help the descendants of the general's mansion.

These soldiers were all brought up by the old general, and it was the old general who saved their lives and settled their families.

Therefore, they naturally will not betray their trust.

Therefore, I have been waiting for the general's orders for twenty years.

Unexpectedly, the wait finally came.
