"Doctor, how is he?" In the famous Huichuntang drugstore in Bianjing, Sun Tu asked the short and fat man in front of him. This man is the current Xinglin national player in the Song Dynasty, Dr. Zhu Yangzhu, known as the master of rejuvenation.
This person's medical skills are extremely high, even better than those of An Daoquan, who is known as the miracle doctor, but he is also more greedy than the former. Not only does he charge extremely high medical fees, but the prices of medicines in his store are also more expensive than elsewhere. Five percent. Therefore, no matter how good his medical skills are, his reputation among the people is very poor, and he even has an equally resounding nickname of not saving anyone.
But all this is not a problem when it comes to Sun Tu. Regardless of his status or the medical money he can offer, Zhu Yang is tempted, even if he ordered people to be covered in blood in the middle of the night a few days ago. , Zhou Xiong, who was dying, came to his door. Dr. Zhu did not dare to complain, and had to treat him carefully to ensure that Zhou Xiong would not die in his store.
However, this person does have the truth of a lion's big mouth, and he has the advantage of being expensive. At least when Sun Tu came back to the Spring Hall to check on Zhou Xiong's condition a few days later, his complexion had improved a lot. Although his face was still as pale as a sheet, his breathing was quite steady. It was obvious that Zhu Yang had fished him out from the gate of hell.
Hearing Sun Tu's concerned inquiry, Zhu Yang smiled both proudly and flatteringly: "Don't worry, Mr. Hou, since you delivered him to the villain that day, I will naturally keep him safe. In the past few days, , I used no less than seven or eight prescriptions to treat injuries, and I also used golden needles to seal the acupoints to stop the toxicity in the body. Fortunately, I finally saved the person completely, and he was able to wake up within two days. , it’s just the medical fee…”
Sun Tu smiled and patted two heavy gold ingots into the opponent's hands with a flip of his hand: "Are these enough?"
Feeling the weight of the gold he had acquired, the respectful and flattering look in Zhu Yang's eyes became more and more intense: "Master Marquis is too polite, that's enough, that's enough, and there's more." In his opinion, Sun Tu could give three Four hundred gold bars was already enough to reach the sky, but now, the two ingots of gold together were no less than fifteen or sixty taels, which was more than five hundred gold bars. How could this not make him feel extremely happy
"Can I take that person back now?" Sun Tu smiled and asked again. Ya'er mentioned it the day before yesterday, and he decided to keep Zhou Xiong at home to raise him.
"Of course, the patient's condition is now very good. In fact, his body and bones are quite good. Even though the injuries are indeed serious, most of them are old injuries. Although they look intimidating, they are nothing in the hands of young people. One thing. And the poison in his body has been gone. He will slowly improve as long as he takes the decoction for half a month, and he will be fully recovered within two months." After receiving such a heavy medical fee, Zhu Yang's attitude became more and more He was very respectful, and he really said it without getting tired of it: "It's just that the poison is really weird, and the villain has never been exposed to it before. I don't know what he is..."
After all, Zhu Yang is a doctor after all. When he sees strange diseases and poisons, he subconsciously becomes curious and wants to find out more. But Sun Tu didn't have time to explain to him: "It's not your concern. You just need to remember to send the medicine you need every day to my house. Don't worry, you will also need the money for the consultation fee." .”
"Yes, I have written it down, and I will definitely do it. In a few days, I will come to check again in person, and make sure these heroes fully recover." Zhu Yang
Knowingly, he nodded in agreement without asking any more questions, and then escorted Sun Tu and the others out of the store with a smile. The service attitude was really excellent.
Zhou Xiong was transported all the way to the Marquis Mansion in a carriage with a heater, and then his servants carried him to a guest room that had been prepared in the courtyard behind to lie down. Then he looked at Zhou Xiong who was still unconscious by the bedside: " Brother Zhou, you have to wake up as soon as possible. I still have too many things to ask you. I always feel a little suspicious about Master's death, as well as Wan'er, and those thieves in Wuyou Cave, who are they? Is there any ulterior purpose? I think if you are with them all the time, you will always have some clues."
But no matter what Sun Tu said, the person on the bed still lay quietly, without any reaction at all. After he said something, he finally sighed again and walked out.
"You guys will be here to guard and serve me from now on. Don't let my senior brother do anything wrong. Remember that?" After getting out of the door, Sun Tu gave the two servants a few more careful instructions. He had other instructions. There are things to be done, so of course it's impossible to always be by Zhou Xiong's side.
￥￥￥￥￥
Night came again, and the full moon hung high in the sky, illuminating the courtyards of the Yuehou Mansion, which had not yet completely cleared away the snow, with a pale white light.
At this time, the entire mansion has fallen into silence. Being in Tokyo, there is no need to worry about safety issues, so there is no defensive force deployed here, not even a watchman, only the cold moonlight shines down. , only the north wind that rises from time to time blows through the treetops.
But in this quiet environment, a black shadow suddenly appeared in the atrium of the Hou Mansion. This person's hands are extremely agile, and his steps are extremely light. Even if he steps on the thin snow, he only leaves a faint trace, but his speed is astonishingly fast. He quickly moves around the house, passing through a There are flower gates everywhere in the courtyard, leading directly to the back house.
After just a cup of tea, this man appeared in front of the backyard where Sun Tu and his family lived in a familiar way. This made his eyes flash with a fierce light, and his mouth opened with white teeth. exposed.
A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity is in front of him, and he believes that Sun Tu will not guard against this change. As long as he sneaks into the house and carries out the assassination, he will definitely be able to kill this terrible guy. At that time, glory and wealth will be at your fingertips. You will no longer have to be a mouse that can only hide in the shadows of ditches, but you will be able to live uprightly as a human being. You may even be recommended as an official and reach the true pinnacle of life!
Thinking of this, his actions became more and more cautious, because he knew very well that success or failure depended on this move. But he was full of confidence in this, because after visiting the places in the previous few nights, he had a good grasp of everything in this house. He even knew exactly which room Sun Tu was sleeping in tonight.
So when he easily entered the courtyard, he didn't hesitate at all and rushed straight towards the room on the left. He was halfway across the road, holding a knife in his right hand and pressing his left hand towards the door. He knew very well that there was only one chance, and he had to catch Sun Tu by surprise before he could hit it with one blow. So he didn't even think about breaking the door first and then entering to assassinate him like ordinary thieves. Instead, he chose the most straightforward way to break through the door. His left hand has already been fully charged. As long as he presses it firmly, he can break the door latch inside, and then he can take advantage of the opportunity to break in.
, and killed Sun Tu, who woke up from his sleep, with one blow.
Everything went so smoothly until he pressed his hand on the door. Before the force of his palm was released, the door opened in response! At this moment, his body suddenly leaned forward, and his prepared movements were completely broken, and he was also startled.
He never expected that the door was only ajar. This was completely beyond his expectation. It was like punching cotton with all his strength. The weak force naturally affected the state of the entire body. . At the same time, a strong warning of uneasiness arose in his heart, and he hurriedly stabilized his body and retreated.
But at this moment, a cold light suddenly lit up from behind the door, hitting his throat at an extremely tricky angle. Sure enough, a trap had been laid early, and the shadow that thought he was a hunter reversed his identity in the blink of an eye and became someone else's prey.
This knife was too fast and too cunning. If it were an ordinary assassin, he would probably be hit, and even if he didn't die, he would be seriously injured. But the reaction of the man in black was far beyond ordinary people. The moment the knife flashed out, his body seemed to be violently tugged by an invisible rope from behind, and he jumped backwards in the air, only escaping by a hair's breadth. He received a knife that cut his throat, but his back was soaked with sweat and his heart sank to the bottom.
Sun Tu, he was actually prepared early in the morning, and actually set an ambush against him? How can this be? When did he know all this
Just as a series of thoughts flashed through his mind, Sun Tu jumped out of the house like a hunting tiger, and said with a half-smile: "You can't hide it anymore, I've been waiting for you for several nights!"
As he said these words, a loud roar suddenly sounded in the originally quiet backyard. Twenty or thirty soldiers suddenly appeared from behind the grass and trees. As they waved their hands, torches were lit one by one. The bright light illuminated the small courtyard as if it were daylight, making the black shadow completely invisible. He took a few steps back again with a look of confusion and panic, and then stood still.
"Zhou Xiong, Senior Brother Zhou, I didn't expect that you are the one who hides the deepest." After the opponent's entire body was illuminated by the fire, Sun Tu said with a sigh, and then there was hatred and killing intent in his eyes. Revealed: "In this way, some things will be explained. Don't even think about leaving today!"
The man in front of him who wanted to assassinate Sun Tu during the night was surprisingly Zhou Xiong, who had only been brought into the mansion by Sun Tu a few days before he was seriously injured. But at this time, he didn't look like he was seriously injured. Although his face was still a little pale, it was mostly due to the surprise of being exposed and missed.
But there was still confusion in his eyes at this time, and he pointed the knife at Sun Tu: "I thought everything was done to the extreme. How could you see through me? I actually made all the arrangements early?" He was really doubtful. Ah, what was the mistake that made Sun Tu fully prepared
"You are indeed thoughtful and deliberate. But you made a huge mistake and actually tried to kill me. When you first had such an idea, the outcome was already doomed. Because when I was in the car for the first time When Ma Xingnei saw you, he already suspected that there was something wrong with you." Sun Tu stared at the other party with burning eyes and said something that Zhou Xiong couldn't accept at all...
