The Resplendent Farming Apothecary - Chapter 165

Chapter 165

Dong Xue listened with a look of longing, but she quickly returned to reality. “This servant doesn’t have that kind of blessing. When you are in good health, Miss, the servant may have to return to the capital.”

”Aren’t you going back to Junlang Pass?” Gu Ye sat cross-legged on the bed and tilted her head to look at her.

Dong Xue shook her head and said, “This servant was sent by our lady to serve the Eldest Young Master. Medical Sage said that Young Master must recuperate for a year and a half before he can return to the battlefield. Our Master has asked His Majesty for orders to be stationed at the border. However, I heard that His Majesty did not agree. Instead, he only let the Second Young Master temporarily replace the Eldest Young Master.”

”Wow! All the three generations of military officers of the Chu family are outstanding figures who can fight on the battlefield!” Any son or grandson could lead the army to battle. No wonder the Emperor was afraid of them and sent them to exile for ten years!

Dong Xue smiled and refuted, “That’s for sure! Among the six young masters, the youngest, Master Shan, is only fourteen years old, but five or six big men can’t subdue him! However, among the six young masters, the Eldest Young Master is the most powerful. He is proficient in all aspects of literature and martial arts, as well as military formations.”

”Really, you’re not kidding me?” Gu Ye saw Dong Xue’s face of admiration, and deliberately sang the opposite tone, “If he’s really so powerful, why did he almost got killed by the Dirong people?”

Dong Xue clenched her small fists indignantly, and said angrily, “That’s due the shamelessness of the Dirong people. They couldn’t beat Young Master openly so they employed such an underhanded trick. Our Young Master got hurt to save others, and he got caught after a momentary inattention! “

”On the battlefield, never mind conspiracies and plots, killing the enemy to win is the best scheme. Your Eldest Young Master is still too young and lacks experience in fighting enemies, so he will have to practice for a few more years.” Gu Ye shook her head, acting like an elder.

”You’re right, Miss Gu. There is an adage in the Art of War: Warfare is tricky, the real is imaginary, and the imaginary is real If you are too conceited, you will follow the way of your enemy.” A clear voice came from outside the door.

Gu Ming took the lead into the room and said to Gu Ye, “Sister, Major General Chu is here to see you.”

Gu Ye hurriedly put on her shoes, scurried out of the inner room, and greeted the guests outside. Deep inside she rebuked: Isn’t it said that men can not easily enter the inner courtyard? However you call it, I’m also a delicate and tender young lady. Why did Young Master Chu enter the yard without anyone telling me?

”I took the liberty to visit you, Miss. Please don’t take offense!” Chu Muhua stayed outside the door for a while, and then slowly stepped in after a maid closed the curtain.

A certain Miss found this strange. Why wasn’t he coming in? Gu Ye rolled her eyes. However, she had no resistance to beautiful men, and when she came into contact with Chu Muhua’s handsome face, the teeny weeny bits of emotions in her heart disappeared in a puff.

”Has Young Master Chu’s wounds healed?” she asked politely after greeting her Master and Uncle-Master who followed behind Chu Muhua.

”It’s all right. Thanks to you and Sage Apothecary that I can stand here.” Chu Muhua raised his hands in a gesture. He exuded a bit of heroism, dazzling Gu Ye for a while. She couldn’t help but remember the tall and upright posture of a certain someone in her memory, cold and stern. His face, his handsome eyes are like ice… Compared with the big ice cube in her previous life, this Major General Chu was at best a Confucian general.

”Sister, sister…” Gu Ming expressed helplessness. His sister’s mind could wander off at any time, anywhere. The key was, it was totally fine for her to get distracted, but why did she keep staring at the Major General’s face? Look at the Major General, his face has turned scarlet! No, he must find an opportunity to talk to his sister properly. She could just go staring at a man’s face!

”Huh? What’s up?” Gu Ye calmly retracted her gaze, as if the person who just stared at the Major General’s face had nothing to do with her, and turned her attention to her brother.

”Major General said that while the weather is fine these few days, he will show us around Yan City. Do you want to go out?” It was a rare trip to the capital, and Gu Ming was eager to wander around.

Gu Ye looked at her Uncle-Master and asked, “I really want to go, but I don’t know if the jailer will give this prisoner a chance to breathe in fresh air.”

When Medical Sage heard this, his beard straightened with anger: “Who are you referring to? Aren’t I doing it for your own good? Just look at your damaged physique before. If you didn’t have me and your master, you would have been summoned by King Yama sooner or later for a cup of tea!”

”I don’t like drinking tea, and King Yama won’t find me if he wants to!” Gu Ye was forced to drink bitter medicine for more than half a month and felt very resentful deep inside, so she was quite defiant. When Sage Apothecary saw her reaction, his face was full of joy. There was no need to point out how excited he was.

”You’re mistaking a good man for a bad one, you’re so ungrateful!” The master and disciple angered Medical Sage so much that he could hardly speak.

”Can I go out or not? Can you give me a precise answer?” Gu Ye thought of the glass tea set mentioned by Ding Qimei and couldn’t wait to go to the Yinzhen Pavilion.

”Your feet grow on your legs. Wherever you like to go, this old man can’t control you!” Medical Sage flicked his sleeves and walked out of the yard, fuming.

”Master, Uncle-Master seems to be angry.” After all, he saved her life. Gu Ye felt that her attitude towards him was a bit too much.

Sage Apothecary waved his hand indifferently and said, “Your Uncle-Master has always been stingy. It’s hard for him not to get angry. Leave him alone, he’ll be fine in a while.” Rankling him was perfect. When he was infuriated, he wouldn’t grab his apprentice from him. Well done, disciple!

Gu Ye reflected on herself, but still felt a bit guilty, so she fished out a handwritten copy of the “Prescriptions Worth a Thousand Gold” from her “medical chest”, wanting to send to send it to Medical Sage to make amends: “Master, although Uncle-Master gave me a lot of bitter medicine, he cured my illness after all. What I said to him just now was indeed rude. Just treat this book as my apology to him.”

Sage Apothecary grabbed the Prescriptions Worth a Thousand Gold and flipped the pages hastily. He frowned and said, “Disciple, you are stupid. Who doesn’t hide and tuck such a medicine and pharmaceutical treasure? Only someone poor and generous like you can take it out and give it to others. Put it away, keep it for you to study medicine.”
