The First National Preceptor of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 394

Today, Master Xu was dressed in a blue scholar's robe, with only a white jade hairpin to hold his hair in place, giving him a somewhat scholarly air.

However, the faint medicinal fragrance emanating from him invigorated Qin Xian.

Qin Xian immediately said, "Master, I have something to say." Xu Tian immediately waved his hand and said, "Nothing is more important than the injury on your arm, and besides, I already know what you want to say."

Soon, Master Liu brought out a copper basin, put some strange plaster powder in it, and then mixed it with water.

She untied Qin Xian's sleeves, especially removing the bandages from his arms, and then applied a thick layer of plaster powder from the basin to his arms.

Qin was somewhat surprised.

Xu Tian chuckled and said, "This is medical knowledge that my mother taught me. She said that in their time, this method of immobilizing the arm was more likely to prevent injury to the wound."

Your arm won't be touched again, so the bone has almost healed. Once this plaster cast is broken, your arm will return to normal. Otherwise, without strong external protection, the arm could easily bend.

From this day forward, General Qin Xian must never again resort to force. We must not let our guard down!

Qin Xian nodded, and soon after Master Liu finished treating his wounds, he left the room without saying anything more.

Xu Tian was very satisfied with what he saw, then nodded and asked, "Are they going to change their hiding place?"

Qin Xian immediately said, "Master is indeed a man of great wisdom. Duan Hong had already planned to move these silver coins deep into the Goryeo Mountains."

"Goryeosan is surrounded by mountains, and the road is steep. Even ordinary people would get lost if they went in, let alone us."

"It would be better to send someone to retrieve the money when he tries to move it; that way, we can minimize our losses."

Xu Tian smiled and said, "Wouldn't that be openly telling Duan Lun, the Minister of Works?"

I know they've already taken the silver. But if Duan Lun finds out that we know they've moved the silver, even if I don't intervene, I'm afraid the Duan family will hunt me down.

Even if I'm at the ends of the earth, my family will never let me go.

Qin Xian was secretly alarmed upon hearing this and immediately knelt on the ground to beg for forgiveness.

"It's all because I'm useless and didn't get the map. Otherwise, Master would definitely have found the location where the silver was hidden based on the map."

"I didn't think that far ahead, so this mission was completely pointless."

Xu Tian patted him, helped him up, and carefully placed his arm on the table.

“Your eyes are a typical case of snow blindness. I’ve already asked Jinyang to go outside and fetch some clean snow to put in a glass basin.”

"I'll have Master Liu bring it up to wash your eyes in a little while."

Qin Xian nodded, about to say something.

Xu Tian commented from the side.

"Don't worry, I've already sent people from the martial arts world to handle this. Do you know where Duan Hong was yesterday?"

Qin Xian's face paled, and he said, "This humble general listened to the conversation between the Duan family uncle and nephew all night in the bamboo building. Duan Hong was naturally at the guesthouse."

Xu Tian shook his head and said, "Have you ever heard of a murderous sect in the martial arts world called Ban Yijiao?"

The Banyi sect originated from the Western Regions, and its followers are all shrouded in mystery. To this day, no one has shown their face, and even if they have, no one else knows them. This is the nature of their followers.

"The Emperor once entrusted Princess Jinyang to me. Did you know that Princess Jinyang was born to the Empress? How could a princess of a nation not have some extraordinary person by her side?"
