Reborn girl from poor family

Chapter 187 Duke Xu (1)

His voice was too weak, so Xu Yuan didn't hear clearly, so he immediately leaned over and asked, "Sir, what did you say?"

Suddenly an elbow was raised from the side, knocking Xu Yuan away, "Get out of the way!"

Zhang Shenmu's head was covered with sweat, and he had a silver needle in his hand. He squeezed to the position occupied by Xu Yuan just now, and held Shen Huai's head. The needle tip was as fast as elastic silk, and he picked it up one by one between his eyebrows, his middle, and his chest. When the last needle was inserted into the Baihui acupoint, Shen Huai groaned, and suddenly held up his hands, then immediately dropped them weakly on the edge of the couch.

"Young Master?!" Xu Yuan jumped up in shock, "Zhang Shengshou!"

"Don't panic!" Zhang Shenmu shouted in a deep voice, but his men reached out with some hesitation to check Shen Huai's breathing.

Xu Yuan's heart suddenly went cold.

This action obviously meant uncertainty, and Zhang Shengshou felt weak in his heart.

Bang!

The door was pushed open heavily from the outside. Su Ya, who was guarding the door, rushed in. Seeing the situation in front of her, her face instantly turned pale and she asked in a trembling voice: "How is he?"

Zhang Shenmu retracted his hand, stamped his feet and said: "Go to the poison doctor Liu Sandian quickly. I can only provide emergency treatment, but I cannot save lives."

"I'll go right away!" Su Ya turned around and left immediately after hearing this.

But as soon as she stepped out of the door, she was stopped by Xu Yuan.

"I'll pick you up," Xu Yuan said: "There is a martial law inside and outside the city. It's inconvenient for you to get in and out. I'm afraid you'll get in trouble."

Yes, there are frequent crises in Huai'an City. At this time, it is really guarded like an iron barrel. Not to mention getting in and out, but just getting out but not getting in, it will probably take a lot of time.

Su Ya knew this very well, so she tried her best to stay calm and told Xu Yuan the whereabouts of Yan and Liu Sandian.

"Don't worry, I will bring you and Mr. Liu safely," Xu Yuan was thoughtful and warned before leaving, "Young master, I will leave it to you. If there is anything you can't deal with, you can take out the master's Due to their status, those officers and soldiers are most worried about this."

"Okay." Su Ya nodded in agreement.

"... If something goes wrong again, you can fight and kill whenever you want. You can always have the confidence." Xu Yuan added.

"What could be wrong?" Su Ya asked.

"Cao Kaihe," Xu Yuan replied in a deep voice, "the exact news about White Horse Lake will be sent back soon. If he is dying, he may be in trouble."

Su Ya understood, but did not shirk it, "I understand."

Before leaving, Xu Yuan looked back at the room again. Su Ya no longer worried about the separation between men and women. She stood beside the bed and bent slightly to take a look. A few strands of scattered hair fell on Shen Huai's shoulders. Just a slightly trembling back showed great tension and concern.

Xu Yuan looked away, and the word "Sichuan" squeezed between his eyebrows became a few layers darker. Maybe Su Ya's feelings for Shen Huai were deep and reliable, but he had no way to give Su Ya a choice.

Just now, he heard at least half of what Shen Huai said before he fell into coma——

"Send Su Ya away...go..." At that time, Shen Huai's eyes were a little distracted, but these words were clear.

However, the moment Xu Yuan heard this, he decided not to follow this order.

They have been together for many years, but Xu Yuan knows Shen Huai better than Gao Jun, so he knows very well: Shen Huai does not allow Su Ya to leave alone by the Baima Lake because he is concerned that the battle on the lake has not ended, Su Ya's hand is injured and his strength is exhausted. It is dangerous to act alone. Just now, Shen Huai asked him to send Su Ya away, but it was because despite Zhang Shenmu's efforts to save him, Shen Huai still felt that his life was hanging by a thread and could not survive.

Xu Yuan's heart seemed to be filled with weights - Shen Huai and Zhang Shenmu, one was a doctor and the other was an injured person, but they both had the same attitude. The sharp knife that had been hanging for several months might be dropped tonight.

At the critical moment of life and death, Shen Huai chose to protect Su Ya without hesitation.

So, in such a critical situation, he could only choose one.

"Sir, if you want to punish me, you have to survive this test." Xu Yuan's eyes were gloomy and firm. Without hesitation, he turned around and rushed into the deepest darkness before dawn.

At the same time, two groups of people were rushing to Zhang Canmu's house.

Cars and horses rushed by in a hurry, and the wheels rolled over the bluestone road. The rain that had not stopped for a long time accumulated on the stone pavement, and was trampled by pairs of shoes again, causing splashes.

"Cao has remembered the kindness of the Duke," Cao Kaihe sat in the carriage, looking very haggard, and sighed to his fellow passengers: "I didn't expect that Cao's lofty sentiments in his life would now..."

The words were swallowed up in sighs, and the unfinished meaning made the person opposite him slightly moved, "Don't worry, Master Cao. We will pick up Shen Huai later and there will always be a chance to explain."

"During this period, Cao was struggling and made many mistakes. Fortunately, the Duke was willing to come forward for Cao." Cao Kaihe raised his hand and wiped his tired face. He looked like he was really in trouble.

The person opposite nodded, calmed down for a moment, and then said: "...it's what I should do. Mr. Cao doesn't need to see anyone outside."

Cao Kaihe only had gratitude on his face, and said worriedly: "However, this misunderstanding is huge. The two followers around Shen Huai, who are highly armed, may not be willing to accept our good intentions. If they insist on blocking it later..."

"Hey, that small courtyard is a lot of inconvenience. Naturally, we should find a place more suitable for recuperation." The person opposite waved his hand casually, "Shen Huai has a reputation for being unruly. I guess the people around him are not rigid. This person always has a good reputation. I want to sell it to me."

It turned out that this person was Xu Guogong, who had just arrived in Huai'an a few days ago.

Cao Kaihe made sure what he said and said no more.

Since Li Zheng's tragic death, his vitality has reappeared. The arrival of Xu Guogong undoubtedly brought him new bargaining chips in this turnaround battle.

However, Shen Huai's destiny was so great that he was not dead yet!

Not only was he not dead, but he somehow managed to lure Qiu Naicheng to Baima Lake, where he destroyed half of the elites that Cao Kaihe had worked so hard to manage!

The resentment in Cao Kaihe's heart could not be expressed in words. If Xu Guogong was a turning point, then Shen Huai was a murderous intention.

Fortunately, this murderous intention is almost over. If I can't take advantage of his illness and kill him tonight, then my job as the commander of water transportation will be in vain!

Cao Kaihe thought in his heart, raised his hand and rubbed his face again, rubbing away all the traces of unwillingness on his face, leaving only a look of forbearance and grievance on his face. He was unable to argue and had no choice but to compromise, which made people who didn't know it feel more embarrassed.

So, when they were standing in Zhang Canmu's home, the insignificant little Su Ya seemed to be particularly helpless.

Su Ya stopped in front of the bed and looked at Xu Guogong with an angry look on his face. She couldn't figure out why this man was willing to be used by Cao Kaihe despite having seen so much of the world.

Is it just for Cao Qingyuan’s beauty?

Xu Guogong Feng Yu, the cheap son-in-law of Cao Kaihe and the hereditary duke of the current dynasty, was wearing a dark gold robe. The faint glitter of gold threads made his face look good-looking even though his age was hard to tell. Exuding a pampered and graceful temperament.

No matter how you look at it, there is a feeling that he has had several wives who are well versed in the method of extracting yin and replenishing yang.

"My lord, Mr. Shen is in critical condition after returning to China. It would be more convenient for him to take medicine if he stayed here." Zhang Shenmu had served in the Imperial Hospital in his early years, so he was somewhat familiar with Xu Guogong, so he bit the bullet and explained: "It's really not appropriate to rush. move……"

"Absurd!" Xu Guogong was displeased, "In the past, when you were in the capital, you brought people back to your home to treat them? This place is so simple and crude. If there is something wrong with Mr. Shen, can you take responsibility for it?"

Zhang Shenmu opened his mouth, could this situation be the same?

Regardless of what he wanted to say, Feng Yu had already given instructions: "Come on, be careful and carry Mr. Shen to the carriage."

Several followers stepped forward, pushed Zhang Shenmu and the little medicine boy away, and reached out to the unconscious Shen Huai.
