Finally, He Jiuxian was forced into the carriage by the impatient Xu Ting, and they set off to return to the capital.
Under He Jiuxian's stalking, Du Siyin became her apprentice. Along the way, He Jiuxian was particularly eager to pass on medical knowledge to Du Siyin, as if she really went to the capital and couldn't come back.
Du Siyin was also very cooperative, and they lived in peace for several days.
It rained heavily that day, the road became muddy, and it was very cold in November, so the speed of the team couldn't help but slow down. In the evening, they didn't arrive at the planned post, but only found a dilapidated Chenghuang Temple. Anyway, there is a place to shelter from the wind and rain.
But this Town God's Temple is not big enough to accommodate 800 people, and many guards can only shrink in the corner, relying on the eaves to block some rain.
Fortunately, the rain stopped soon, but it was completely dark and unable to hurry, Xu Ting could only order to deal with it at the Chenghuang Temple for one night.
The imperial guards began to gather firewood to make a fire, and set up camp after drying the ground.
Xu Ting, Du Siyin and others lived in the Town God's Temple, and the head of the guard had already lit the fire to drive away the cold air brought by the rain.
He Jiuxian suddenly called out: "Apprentice, come here!"
Du Siyin walked over, He Jiuxian pointed to the plants on the ground and asked him, "What is this?"
At this time the sky was already very dark, Du Siyin asked Hongfeng to bring a torch over, looked at it, and said with some surprise: "Wild ginger!"
Unexpectedly, a piece of wild ginger grows next to the Town God's Temple.
He Jiuxian nodded in satisfaction, "Well, call someone to dig them out, and boil water for those soldiers to prevent typhoid fever."
Du Siyin immediately told Xu Ting, and a group of guards took their sabers to dig wild ginger.
After simply eating dry food to deal with it, Du Siyin arranged to boil the wild ginger into water, and everyone drank a large bowl, and immediately felt that the internal organs were warmed up.
Arranging some people to watch the night, Xu Ting slept with his knife and clothes in his arms, and Du Siyin sat next to her and leaned against her.
He Jiuxian is a person who focuses on protection, and the guards surround him and let him sit in the middle.
In winter, the insects have all burrowed into the ground, and the night is silent.
Suddenly there was a sound of piercing through the air, and arrows shot into the Temple of the City God one by one.
Xu Ting opened his eyes in an instant, Du Siyin also woke up, and the chief guard shouted: "There are assassins!"
All the guards woke up, the sound of fighting outside, the arrows kept shooting in, the Temple of the City God was almost being tied into a hedgehog.
Xu Ting split the flying arrow with a knife, then pushed Du Siyin to the corner, and ordered Hongfeng and Lutang to protect him.
With a bang, several large holes were broken in the roof of the Town God's Temple, and a masked assassin in black fell from above.
There were 800 imperial guards outside, and it would be a fantasy to break through them directly from the gate, so these assassins chose to attack from the roof.
The Town God's Temple is small in size, and the imperial guards outside cannot all come in, so the assassins have a chance to kill the genius doctor He Jiuxian, which is really easy to calculate.
Xu Ting met the attack with a knife, she had expected that the escort would not go smoothly, there must be someone who was unwilling to let the genius doctor He Jiuxian reach the capital alive.
He Jiuxian was protected by the head of the imperial guards, and she was not injured for the time being. She still had the strength to complain, "I knew nothing good would happen if I promised you to go to the capital!"
With a stabbing sound, the head of the imperial guard who was under siege was stretched, and his arm was directly scratched with blood. He Jiuxian cursed angrily, and threw out a handful of silver needles. Several assassins covered their eyes and screamed.
Xu Ting quickly killed him, and said to the head of the imperial guard: "Give me the genius doctor."
The head of the imperial guard immediately handed He Jiuxian over to Xu Ting for protection, and then let go of his hands and feet to kill the assassin.
When He Jiuxian was protected by Xu Ting, the siege turned to Xu Ting. Unfortunately, Xu Ting was stronger than the head of the guard, and he protected He Jiuxian tightly.
The assassination lasted for half an hour, and the body lay on the ground. The assassin finally determined that he could not kill He Jiuxian, and the few remaining people retreated bitterly.
Xu Ting put the knife back into the scabbard, walked towards Du Siyin immediately and asked, "Are you all right?"
Du Siyin grabbed Xu Ting's hand and said eagerly, "You're hurt!"
"It's okay, skin trauma."
Xu Ting was often injured, and this kind of situation was commonplace for her. As a general who led troops to fight, it would be strange if he wasn't injured, she didn't care.
But Du Siyin cared very much, and hurriedly said, "I'll bandage you."
The feeling that someone cared was unexpectedly good, Xu Ting let Du Siyin lead him, took off his coat, and rolled up his sleeves.
Firewood was added to the fire, and it started to ignite again. Du Siyin boiled water in an earthen pot, and then cleaned Xu Ting's wound with a handkerchief dipped in water.
Among the things He Jiuxian brought were gauze to wrap the wound, and Dieda San, which was extremely curative. After Du Siyin cleaned the wound, he applied the medicine, and then gently wrapped the gauze on Xu Ting.
The head of the imperial guard came in from the outside and reported, "The assassin did not survive, and there is no sign of identity on his body."
Xu Ting knew this would happen a long time ago, so he was not surprised.
"What about our casualties?"
"Dozens of people died, and many guards were injured. But thanks to the miracle doctor's medicine, many people's injuries were brought under control."
Xu Ting: "The dead will be sent to Yizhuang tomorrow, and the seriously injured will stay in the station to recuperate. We need to rush back to the capital as soon as possible."
Then they encountered two more assassinations, and Xu Ting had to divert his route back to the capital.
In December, when they finally entered the capital, the assassins who followed them disappeared without a trace.
At the feet of the Son of Heaven, no one dared to do anything wrong, and Xu Ting safely escorted the genius doctor He Jiuxian to the capital.
As soon as they entered the capital, the imperial guards around the emperor arrived, and they wanted to bring He Jiuxian into the palace. The queen, princess and others were all ecstatic when they got the news.
However, Yan Yuntong, the seemingly normal fourth princess, angered the entire hidden guards who carried out the assassination mission after returning to the mansion, and the leader was directly ordered to kill himself.
"Your Highness, what shall we do next?" Mr. Chu asked.
At this time, Yan Yuntong's face was full of gloom, and he said: "If He Jiuxian cured Yan Yunchen, I can only let my father suspend the plan."
"It seems that this is the only way to go. It's a pity that such a good opportunity is lost."
The fourth princess slowly raised her head and drank the tea in her hand with a sullen face, "Yan Yunchen, she is really lucky. But it doesn't matter, she can hide from the first day of the junior high school but not the fifteenth day."
"There is also the princess of the town." Mr. Chu said suddenly, "If possible, Fourth Highness, it is best to win her over."
Escorting the genius doctor He Jiuxian this time undoubtedly made many people pay more attention to Xu Ting, and so did Yan Yuntong.
"Currently, she seems to be closer to the empress, which is not good for us."
Yan Yuntong: "I see."
He Jiuxian was picked up by the Imperial Forest Army, Xu Ting followed to report to the emperor, and Du Siyin's carriage quietly returned to the palace near the town.
After meeting the emperor, Xu Ting also returned to the town's palace with a bunch of rewards.
During this period, Xu Ting also said goodbye to the head of the imperial guard. After this trip, the head of the imperial guard was completely convinced by Xu Ting and introduced her as his confidant.
Of course Xu Ting was also happy to accept this friend.
He Jiuxian was left in the palace, and the emperor placed her with the highest treatment, saying that he would let the princess enter the palace tomorrow for medical treatment.
After Xu Ting comforted Han Zhi's wounded loving father, he returned to Qingfengyuan. At this time, Du Siyin had already changed out of the clothes he had pretended to be a woman and changed back to a man's attire.
Xu Ting also felt quite sorry.
In fact, after Du Siyin married Xu Ting, thinking about Xu Ting's preferences, he dressed more and more neutrally, that is to say, he had more and more the feeling that Xu Ting was originally admired by the world.
But he completely changed into women's clothing... It can also be said that it was the men's clothing in Xu Ting's eyes, which made Xu Ting see another kind of surprise.
Du Siyin's original attire was also very good-looking, there is no doubt about it.
Of course Du Siyin saw the regretful look in Xu Ting's eyes, so he couldn't help but tilt his head and ask, "Chang Ning, do you like me dressed like that?"
He couldn't help thinking of Mo Zi'an again. Mo Zi'an had a rough appearance, and because he was doing business in public, he simply dressed up as a woman.
And Lu Zhilan not only didn't hate it, but admired it very much.
Now Du Siyin discovered that Xu Ting also seemed to like men dressing up as women, this...
Xu Ting suddenly felt something called the desire to survive, "I like to see you in clothes, your charm is better than thousands of girls."
Du Siyin was ashamed by the praise, and thought to himself, since Xu Ting likes it, then he will dress up like this more often for Xu Ting in the future.
"My lord, what are these things?" Shuqin, who helped Du Siyin pack his luggage, came in, holding three old books in his hand.
Isn't this the medical book of He Jiuxian? How could it be in Du Siyin's package
Xu Ting took the three medical books, his expression suddenly became serious.
