The queen of the last days became a maid and just wanted to lie down

Pei Shuo didn't expect that Xu Yao would actually take him back to Ghost Eye City. They still went through the South City Gate. People were being arrested everywhere on the street, and Pei Shuo was a little worried.

"They may have reported last night's incident to the police. If we come in now, will we be caught in a trap?"

Xu Yao was neither anxious nor flustered. Not only did he keep him calm, he also led him to the slave market.

Pei Shuo felt uncomfortable and didn't understand what he needed to do here, so he just followed Xu Yao closely.

The slave market is in chaos today. No one comes out to sell slaves, and no one knows where the slaves have gone.

There were some officers and soldiers walking here, seemingly investigating something.

Xu Yao accepted the interrogation openly. If there were anyone who didn't know what was good for them, Xu Yao would take out the token of the Palace Front Department, and those people would leave in panic, fearing that they would get into trouble.

When they arrived at the veterinarian's shop, the old man was drinking and was a little surprised to see her. "Your horse is not doing well again."

Xu Yao chuckled: "What's your name, old man?"

"My surname is Qu, just call me Old Man Qu."

Xu Yao nodded, pointed at Pei Shuo's leg and asked him, "Old man, can you cure his leg?"

Old Man Qu paused while drinking, glanced at Pei Shuo, sat up straight, and looked at Xu Yao with a half-smile, "Boy, are you mistaken? I'm a veterinarian, how can I treat people?"

Xu Yao threw the reins to Pei Shuo, who stood in front of the shop, leading the horse without saying a word. He was also curious as to why Xu Yao would ask a veterinarian to treat his leg.

Xu Yao walked up to Old Man Xu and smiled, "People from Beichen are coming soon. The city is under strict martial law. What do you think if those people knew that you were from Beichen?"

Old Man Qu was not afraid when he heard this. "What? Are you threatening me, your grandfather? There are so many people from Beichen in this city. Which general who defends the city has not slept with Beichen women in Baihe Street? Those women, if they say there are no spies among them, no one will believe it, but they still go whoring as usual. I am an old veterinarian who treats cows and horses. What can I do?"

Xu Yao patted his shoulder and sat down beside him. "You can't compare with them. They can control their identities with ease. You are different."

"How am I different?" Old Man Qu stared at her coldly.

Xu Yao lowered his voice and said coldly: "You have the ability to poison all the horses in the city, and it doesn't leave any trace. It would have been fine in the past, but now the Beichen people are coming. Do you think you can still live peacefully if I go and file a complaint?"

Old Man Qu angrily said, "Bullshit, what evidence do you have to prove that I would do this?"

Xu Yao took out the powder he bought from him and said, "Just this, this stuff can calm a horse down, and a slightly larger amount can even make a person unable to get up. This medicine of yours is only available in Beichen. Even if there is no suspicion on you, if I send you to jail, they can still skin you alive and squeeze out all the money you have earned over the years, what do you think?"

Old Man Qu gritted his teeth and said, "What on earth do you want to do, kid?"

"My request is simple. Please heal my apprentice's leg. You can name your price."

"I'll set the price. Aren't you afraid that I'll kill him with my treatment?"

Xu Yao played with the medicine in his hand, smiling. "If his leg can't be cured, I will make you crawl on the ground for the rest of your life. If you don't believe me, try it."

Old Man Qu's eyes flashed with coldness. He really didn't know where this kid came from and how he knew he could cure his leg injury.

But even though she was smiling now, the murderous aura in her made Old Man Qu scared.

I've finally made it to this day, I can't die in such a cowardly way, right?

After a pause, Old Man Qu opened his mouth loudly: "Ten thousand taels, if you can afford it, I will treat him immediately, and I guarantee that the treatment will be the same as before."

"How long will it take?"

"It will take only half a month for his bones to fully grow together." Old Man Qu took one look at Pei Shuo and determined the result.

Pei Shuo was stunned when he heard this. Not to mention his leg, which was broken after being beaten that day, the doctor said it was incurable. Even this ten thousand taels was enough to surprise him.

In the past, even for a duke, this 10,000 taels was a large sum of money. Even if his sister got married, the dowry her family prepared for her was no more than 50,000 taels.

Even this is already the treatment of a ten-mile red wedding dress in the capital.

After suffering a lot in the past six months, he realized that one tael of silver could only allow him to eat steamed bread for half a month.

When he heard the number of ten thousand taels, he couldn't help but feel a little pain in his heart.

Pei Shuo looked at Xu Yao nervously. Just looking at what Xu Yao was wearing, he didn't look like someone from a wealthy family at all.

He hurriedly said: "Master, why don't we just forget it, I..."

Xu Yao glanced at him and said, "Is this little money more important than your legs?"

He took out a silver note from his pocket without hesitation, "It's from Huitong Bank, and it's valid throughout the Yunhai Continent. Old man, I'm leaving him to you. If you can't cure him, you know the consequences."

Old Man Qu never thought that he asked for so much just to provoke her, but he never expected that she would give it to him so readily.

He held the banknote in his hand and felt it. The familiar feel made him absolutely sure that it was real and could be cashed.

The old man couldn't help asking, "Who are you?"

Ten thousand taels of silver note, not to mention that he had never seen it before, even the wealthy businessmen doing business in the city could not easily take out such a large sum of money in silver notes.

Xu Yao didn't care, and was very relaxed. "I won't bother you with any more trouble. We will stay here for the time being. Please clean up a room for my disciple to see the doctor."

Old Man Qu took the money, agreed readily, and immediately prepared a room for the two of them.

Xu Yao frowned at the simple environment. If it wasn't for the convenience of Pei Shuo's leg treatment, she really didn't want to live here.

While the old man was preparing things, Xu Yao decided to take Pei Shuo to buy clothes.

Pei Shuo was still nervous: "Is it appropriate to go to the street at this time?"

Xu Yao smiled and said, "My dear disciple, you must trust your master. The more flustered and shifty you are, the more suspicious you are. On the contrary, if you walk on the street openly, they will not dare to doubt you. Besides..."

Xu Ya pointed to the slave market not far away and said, "Some people have long disliked the dead slave owner. He offended people by doing this business, and because he made too much money, people were jealous. Now that he is dead, there are many people to replace him. Those people are anxious to take his place, so how could they have the heart to avenge him."

Xu Yao naturally inquired about the news before taking action.

Pei Shuo felt a little relieved when he heard her say that.

Xu Yao took people to a cloth shop to buy ready-made clothes for him, but he was tall and there were no suitable clothes.

Xu Yao could only buy a set of clothes for him to change into, and then asked the store to tailor a few sets for him.

The tattoo on Pei Shuo's face was covered up by the concealer powder made by Xu Yao. Those people did not think there was anything abnormal about him, nor did they think that he was an escaped prisoner.

After they bought some clothes, Xu Yao smelled a strong fragrance. She followed the scent and found a shop making bone soup with a fragrant aroma.

She sat down immediately, asked the boss to bring her a few bowls of soup, and ordered some noodles.

Pei Shuo didn't expect that after becoming his disciple, Xu Yao not only treated him and bought him clothes, but also brought him delicious food. He didn't treat him as an apprentice at all. He was very surprised.

He didn't pay anything, but got a lot instead. It can be said that he felt unworthy and felt a little uneasy and uncomfortable. He always wanted to give something in return.

But with his current abilities, he could do nothing. He could only save up this favor and repay it a hundred or a thousand times in the future.

Xu Yao only had eyes for this delicious food. The thick soup was so delicious that she drank the soup and ordered another bowl.

When I looked up, I saw a man begging in a desperate situation. He looked somewhat familiar.

"Master Zhuang."
