The Great Physician

Falling in Love with You (630bookla Chapter of The Great Physician)

Xiao Chengshuang said, "She stole my spirit beast and still dared to call me by my master's name? You old man, do you think you can boss me around just because you're from the Ji Men? My Xiao family doesn't even respect the Ji Men."

Manager Qiao said with a smile, "Eldest sister comes from the Xiao family, a family of renowned physicians. How could I dare to criticize her? I'm just giving you a heads-up. Think about it, if we were in a place where people were, we could ambush her beforehand and catch her red-handed. That would save us from gossip and effort, much better than chasing her around."

The chase went on and on, leaving both men and horses exhausted.

Xiao Chengshuang asked He Tianchou, "Brother He, what about you?"

He Tianchou said, "As long as Shuangmei is happy, you can do whatever you want."

Manager Qiao thought to himself, "No wonder the heir of Yunda Escort Agency is so incompetent. He only cares about women and doesn't understand strategy. How can he talk about the future?"

Mo Yuan said, "The Bureau Chief sent us out on a mission. Let's finish this quickly and go back to town to wait for others."

Manager Qiao couldn't help but ask curiously, "What task does the Bureau Chief have? Is there any way I can help?"

He Tianchou hesitated.

Xiao Chengshuang raised her hand to stop him, then said to Steward Qiao, "What task do you need me to help with? It's none of your business to worry about things like this. What exactly is your purpose? If you want to curry favor with my family..." She paused, then continued, "Then you should show me how it goes."

Manager Qiao smiled and cupped his hands: "If I could gain the favor of my elder sister, it would be my good fortune. I would naturally accept it. However, there is a problem. The woman beside my elder sister that year was a maid who ran away from my family. After my elder sister retrieved the spirit beast, she was supposed to hand that maid over to me. My sister should have been with her, but now she has disappeared."

Xiao Chengshuang said, "This is just a spirit beast, who cares about your maidservant status? Take it." She then asked, "Since it was your suggestion, how can you catch that scoundrel?"

Manager Qiao had a vague premonition that the person might have had some connection with their Ji Men that year. He was afraid that if someone died in the bustling city, it would implicate their Ji Men and cause a rift with the Great Medical Family. So he encouraged Xiao Chengshuang to corner the person and deal with them in a crowded place. At that time, no one would know if they were killed.

It will not be associated with the Extreme Gate.

He rolled his eyes and said, "The two shopkeepers are staying in the house very well. They probably don't know we're chasing them, so they're feeling safe. Judging from their current state, they won't leave tonight. We can find out their next route and set up an ambush on the way to catch them red-handed."

Xiao Chengshuang frowned in thought: "But how can we find out where they're going next?"

Manager Qiao said, "If they are willing to buy another carriage since they have no one to ride in, we can have the shopkeeper try to find out."

Xiao Chengshuang nodded slightly and smiled at Manager Qiao: "You old man are really thoughtful."

Manager Qiao thought to himself, "I'm not even forty yet, I'm younger than you, you're the old man."

He feigned a humble and apprehensive smile and said, "Elder sister, you flatter me. I am not worthy of such praise."

"Then let's do it this way," He Tianchou said. "I'm just thinking about how to subdue that white cat. The people and Big Yellow are nothing to fear, it's just that cat that's too powerful."

Mentioning that cat reminded Xiao Chengshuang of the spirit beast dog she had also acquired. Her eyebrows furrowed, and her eyes gleamed with a sinister light: "Since you're unwilling to be my spirit beast, then no one else can have it."

The big yellow dog shouldn't be called Li Gungun. He lazily lay on the edge of the bed. Ji Yuanyuan spread her four paws apart and clung to his back like a boneless lump of meat.

Suddenly it sneezed.

The big yellow dog and the cat were terrified and immediately raised their heads.

Chan sat on the edge of the bed and couldn't help but laugh as she said to Li Ruozhuo, who was washing his hands at the door, "Little brother and big sister always pretend to be stupid. When they make a fuss, they act like others have harmed them and go looking for them everywhere."

Li Ruozhuo shook his hands to dry them and said, "Are you sleepy? If you don't leave tonight, try to get your sleep schedule back on track."

Chan nodded: "I'm still very tired at this time, but I'll be able to fall asleep."

Li Ruozhuo felt like he hadn't had a break for two days. Although he took naps during the day, it didn't really relieve his fatigue.

As the moon rose above the willow branches, both she and Chan felt sleepy.

The two tidied up and went to their dormitory.

Chan was making her bed when she heard a clanging sound coming from the doorway.

"Who is it?" Li Ruozhuo shouted in a rough voice.

"Yes, there is a customer on the second floor of the shop who urgently needs money to sell a horse. The young master and his sister have come from afar but do not have a horse. They would like to ask if the young master would like to buy a horse?"

It's common for inns to help guests with transactions.

Chan, who had never traveled far from home and was unaware of the intricacies of the situation, looked at Li Ruozhuo with a blank expression and said, "Didn't you just buy a horse? Just buy it."

Li Ruozhu smiled and turned to the door, saying, "No, I will go to Guyashan tomorrow. The road is rugged and I need to ride a horse. Thank you, Second Brother."

Ercui replied crisply, "Thank you for disturbing me, sir. Please rest well, sir."

Li Ruozhuo remained silent.

Footsteps faded into the distance from time to time.

Chan raised an eyebrow at Li Ruozhuo: "Why is he thanking you if you didn't buy any horses?"

Li Ruozhuo said, "Of course he'll thank me if the deal goes through." He unfolded the blanket and waved his hand dismissively, "Don't ask, just go to sleep."

Night fell, and dark clouds gathered, turning the sky pitch black.

Li Ruozhuo, still feeling sleepy, quietly woke Chan up.

"younger brother?"

Chan asked in a low voice.

Li Ruozhuo whispered in her ear, "Get dressed and we'll set off. If we can shake them off, that's their good fortune. If we can't, don't blame me for being ruthless (in a moment of passion)."

My sister always leaves room for maneuver in her actions.

Chan went to get dressed in the dark.

Li Ruozhuo noticed two green lights shining from the stage and knew it was Ji Yuanyuan pointing to the spot where Li Gungun was sleeping.

Ji Yuanyuan leaped and landed on Li Gungun's back.

A gurgling sound came from Li Gungun's throat, and Ji Yuanyuan called out softly...

Li Ruozhuo, not seeing any movement over there, picked up her bundle, slung it over her shoulder, and gently pushed open the door.

There was no one in the corridor except for a wall lamp at the end, which emitted a faint light.

Li Ruozhuo turned around and his servants and spirit beasts followed, quietly waving their hands.

There were no customers in the lobby downstairs, except for the second shopkeeper who was dozing off at the counter with his chin resting on his hand.

Li Ruozhuo pulled Chan through the door behind the stairs to the backyard.

Under the dim starlight and moonlight, Tianchan, unaware of where she was, asked in a high-pitched voice, "Little brother, where are we going?"

Li Ruozhuo turned around, and she quickly shut her mouth.

The way to
