172, the gap between the times
"Blood Moon Building?"
Gu Qianxue muttered to herself, and then her excited nerves were ignited again, "Tell me quickly what is going on with this Blood Moon Tower, how high are these people's martial arts? Could it be that they can fly over walls and kill people invisible?" ?”
Zhou Rongqiu's handsome face was full of a ghostly expression, "Gu Qianxue, you are a lady, why don't you study female celebrities well, what are you doing listening to these Jianghu affairs?"
Gu Qianxue frowned, "Isn't it good for personal interests? I really don't understand why everyone must study female celebrities? It's not that the family is poor and can't afford clothes, so they go to clothing stores to buy whatever they want to wear. What kind of style can you just find an embroiderer?"
Zhou Rongqiu was choked up by Gu Qianxue, and after thinking for a long time, he couldn't think of any reason to refute. "But... the ladies of other people's families, don't they all practice female reds hard? In the future, I will sew a dress for my husband by myself, and I will definitely win a lot of affection."
Gu Qianxue snorted coldly, "Loving love? Heh, if you love each other, you will love each other even without giving clothes; if you don't love, you will become an embroiderer, and you will not love each other."
Zhou Rongqiu was persuaded by Gu Qianxue again, he opened his mouth for a long time, not knowing how to refute.
He really wanted to tell Gu Qianxue what other girls were doing, but after much deliberation, he himself didn't know what they were doing, but he knew that girls would never chase after others and ask the world to fight and kill. .
"Tell me quickly!" Gu Qianxue slapped the table hard, but because she was too anxious and excited, she couldn't help using her internal strength, and there was a small crack on the sturdy table.
Zhou Rongqiu stared dumbfounded at the cracks on the table in front of him, "You... know martial arts?"
Gu Qianxue suddenly realized that she was showing her secrets, rolled her eyes secretly, and said with a smile, "I don't know martial arts, but I only know internal strength. This internal strength was also taught to me by my grandfather. Grandpa said that if you learn some internal strength, you can strengthen your body. "
Zhou Rongqiu's face was full of vigilance, "But you never said before that you have internal strength."
"You didn't even ask." Gu Qianxue said forcefully.
It wasn't that Gu Qianxue concealed it intentionally, but that she didn't dare to tell about King Li's martial arts skills.
This internal force cannot be hidden at all, otherwise Gu Qianxue would not be able to explain to him how she healed Concubine Qin.
Fortunately, Zhou Rongqiu is a typical person with well-developed limbs and a smooth mind. He seldom thinks about problems and thinks deeply, so he doesn't find any loopholes in Gu Qianxue's logic. "So that's how it is."
"Yes, yes, tell me about the Blood Moon Tower." Gu Qianxue was still in high spirits.
Although Zhou Rongqiu is a simple-minded person, he is also a principled person, and he can rarely change what he believes. "Blood Moon Building is the largest killer organization in the world. Although the killers in it can't be said to be masters, they have their own skills in assassination. That's all I can say. If you ask me any more, I'll leave."
Seeing Zhou Rongqiu's complexion darken, Gu Qianxue stopped asking. "This sweet-scented osmanthus cake looks good, hurry up and try it." As he spoke, he picked up the sweet-scented osmanthus cake and put it in his mouth.
Whether it is a martial arts novel or a killer in reality, his ability may not be the strongest, but it does not mean that he cannot complete the task. Assassins have always been the winners in the shadows.
Zhou Rongqiu saw that Gu Qianxue didn't ask any more questions, so his gloomy complexion eased, and he sighed deeply, "You will understand one day that I am for your own good." When he spoke, his complexion was extremely bad.
Gu Qianxue was secretly surprised, this meeting, it can be said that Zhou Rongqiu is completely different from before.
As for why it is different, I'm afraid that he has experienced something terrible, because Zhou Rongqiu's face is obviously full of fear.
"Tell me about the condition of Concubine Qin." Zhou Rongqiu took a sip of warm tea to suppress his shock.
Therefore, Gu Qianxue told Zhou Rongqiu everything, including the ancient books she got from Gu Shangshu, the discovery of poisons, myasthenia, and the sudden whim of using internal force to make silver needles to stimulate muscles, etc.
Zhou Rongqiu suddenly realized, "So that's how it is!" He looked at Gu Qianxue with reverence in his eyes.
"Qianxue, I suddenly have a premonition that your medical achievements in the future may be far greater than mine." Zhou Rongqiu's face was somewhat disappointed and frustrated.
"Who said that the foundation of your Zhou family's medical skills is beyond what others say?" Gu Qianxue quickly comforted.
Zhou Rongqiu raised his head, smiling helplessly, but his deep eyes were like the warm autumn sun, warmly enveloping people. "The real winner is not very victorious, but one who can constantly defeat himself. But I think that before that, we must face ourselves and not deceive ourselves. My interest has never been in medical skills. One day, I will definitely go to the rivers and lakes, so, You don't have to comfort me."
Hearing what Zhou Rongqiu said, Gu Qianxue felt relieved. "Life is short for a hundred years. Instead of forcing yourself to do things you don't want to do and achieve achievements you don't expect, it's better to live happily, right?"
Zhou Rongqiu smiled wryly, "Even if I don't yearn for the world, I still know the gap between you and me. I'm really... not as good as you."
This time, Gu Qianxue didn't comfort him anymore, because she knew that what Zhou Rongqiu said was right. The gap between the two is not so much the gap between the two people's medical skills, but rather the gap between the two eras.
Zhou Rongqiu was generous, and he quickly turned his attention to the other side, "Qianxue, you have also given me a lot of inspiration. If internal strength can replace silver needles, many diseases that were difficult to solve before can be easily cured. It's a pity Yes, I was looking for that prescription, but it was just a fabrication."
Gu Qianxue nodded. This is a problem often encountered in the inheritance of ancient medical skills - the authenticity of information.
Not to mention that there are many people who exaggerate the function of a certain medicinal material for various purposes, but that compulsory education is not universal, the common people rarely receive formal education, and many life experiences are passed down by word of mouth. There are many legends, and the information transmitted may not be accurate.
But these are not important, the important thing is that Zhou Rongqiu was lucky to be able to come back alive after being kidnapped by the killer organization.
Gu Qianxue and Zhou Rongqiu are like-minded brothers, and even friends who can confide in their hearts. The two have not known each other for a long time, but they met each other very late. This time, the conversation in the teahouse did not end until late at night.
When Gu Qianxue returned to Gu's residence, she saw a maid guarding the door. This maid Gu Qianxue had seen before, was Xiangxue from Manfuyuan.
Seeing Gu Qianxue, Xiangxue hurried forward, "My maidservant greets the eldest lady, the old lady has been waiting for the eldest lady in Manfuyuan for a long time."
Gu Qianxue was puzzled, "Wait for me? What happened in the mansion today?" As she spoke, she followed Xiangxue to Manfuyuan.
Xiangxue respectfully said, "Returning to Miss, the Queen's order has been heard from the palace today, and the Queen's Majesty wants to hold a banquet in the palace for all officials and women."
Gu Qianxue nodded, knowing in her heart that Mrs. Zheng was still waiting for her in the yard so late, probably because of this incident.
What Gu Qianxue didn't expect was that the real fate between her and her adoptive mother, Princess Yong'an, also began at the queen's dinner party, which is a later story.
