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

Pei Shuo smiled and said, "It's all a small matter. Doctor Qu said that he has reconnected my bones. As long as I take good care of myself, I will definitely recover as before."

Hearing this, Xu Yao simply handed him a small medicine bottle and said, "If the pain is unbearable, take one pill. It can relieve the pain, but don't take more."

Old Man Qu happened to hear it and came over immediately: "What can relieve pain?"

He knew about Ma Fei San, but it had been lost for a long time. If it was still there, this kid wouldn't have to suffer like this.

Xu Yao smiled and said, "This is my exclusive secret recipe. As long as you can cure my apprentice's leg, I will give you a bottle."

Old Man Qu was suspicious, thinking that this killer god would not be so generous. Sure enough, she told him that she had brought someone back and hoped that he would help treat him.

When he went out, he found a half-dead man lying in the room where Zhuang Mu was sleeping. The man was covered in blood and extremely dirty. Old Man Qu was surprised: "Are you bringing the robber back for me to treat?"

Pei Shuo also looked at Xu Yao curiously. Xu Yao shook his head and said, "No, I rescued him from a bandit's den. I killed all the robbers. I found this person in the dungeon. He had nowhere else to go, so I brought him back."

"This is another price, twenty taels, not a penny less." Xu Yao rolled his eyes at him, threw a silver ingot to him, and told him to save the man quickly.

After the others left and meeting Pei Shuo's eyes, Xu Yao whispered, "I've seen him with your father."

Pei Shuo was stunned and wanted to get up to check. Xu Yao asked him to calm down: "We don't know whether the person is dead or alive yet, why are you in such a hurry? Wait until he is rescued and then go to check. As my disciple, you must learn to remain calm even when the sky is falling."

"I'm sorry, Master. I lost my composure."

Xu Yao chuckled, "Young man, you still have a lot to learn."

Zhuang Mu went to deal with the goods and was not in the small courtyard. When he came back after a busy day, he brought news to Xu Yao.

"Sir, I found something wrong in the city."

Xu Yao really didn't want to hear this name anymore, so he asked him to call her by her name.

Zhuang Mu refused to do so. Seeing that her last name was Xu, he simply called her Xu the head of the family. If she hadn't been dressed as a man, Zhuang Mu would have called her sister.

"Master Xu, I feel like something is wrong with the guards in the city. They have suddenly become very lazy and don't check anything. Those who were guarding closely before seem to have disappeared. Instead, there is a new general named Qin Sihai."

Pei Shuo was slightly surprised when he heard the name. "Why is it him?"

Xu Yao didn't know this person, "Why, do you know him?"

Pei Shuo nodded, "This is a shameless villain. He originally served in my father's army, but later committed a crime and was kicked out. I don't know who helped him get a job in the Palace Front Office. But this person has no ability to march and fight, but he is good at flattering and deceiving his superiors and subordinates."

Xu Yao couldn't help but think of the Beichen Army in the mountain stronghold, so he told Pei Shuo about it. "In my opinion, the prince may have reached an agreement with Beichen for the sake of his throne. Ghost Eye City is in danger."

Zhuang Mu couldn't believe what he said. "That's impossible. Wouldn't the king be so stubborn for the sake of the city?"

These are his own people and territories, and he just gave them up like that. Doesn't he care about the lives of his people?

Xu Yao went to see Pei Shuo, who sneered, "In order to let his own people take control of the military power, he can attack my Pei family and join forces with Yuan Qingzong to harm innocent people. So what if he abandons one or two cities? This is a good time for his generals to resist Beichen and establish military merit."

Then he began to sneer, "How ridiculous Qin Sihai is. He thinks he is lucky enough to get the title of a city defense commander. I'm afraid he doesn't even know that he was brought here by the prince to die."

Xu Yao was amazed at these people's calculations, but he didn't want to care too much: "It looks like we can't stay here anymore, pack up and leave tomorrow."

Pei Shuo was stunned for a moment, but didn't say anything. Xu Yao wanted to ask, but he saw Old Man Qu shouting that the person he brought back had woken up.

Zhuang Mu helped Pei Shuo to see the man. When he saw him, Pei Shuo was stunned: "Liu Tong? It's you?"

Liu Tong was originally a personal guard of the Duke of Zhenguo and had always been trusted by him. He was promoted by the Duke of Zhenguo and was extremely loyal to him.

But those who followed the Duke of Zhenguo were either dead or missing, so how could Liu Tong be here?

Liu Tong woke up and was very excited when he saw Pei Shuo. He wanted to speak, but his whole body was covered with wounds and it hurt to move.

He covered his wound with a grin, and said with red eyes: "Young Master, you are still alive, it's great."

Zhuang Mu's ears went numb when he heard the word "Prince". He looked at Pei Shuo and then at Xu Yao, feeling very nervous. Did he know something he shouldn't know?

Old Man Qu's expression became even more stern. He turned to look at Xu Yao, wanting to ask her if she knew about it too.

Xu Yao: "Let them talk, let's go out first."

Zhuang Mu helped to place Pei Shuo on a chair nearby, and then followed Xu Yao out.

Old Man Qu was still calm and continued to pound herbs in the yard. Zhuang Mu was very nervous: "Master Xu...Master Xu, could he be that..."

"The eldest son of the Zhenguo family."

Zhuang Mu took a deep breath, his mood was really up and down. Even if he caught his eldest sister-in-law having an affair with his father, or saw his eldest brother sleeping with his father's concubine, he would not be so panicked.

"Master, how many secrets do you have that are unknown to us?"

Xu Yao smiled and said, "I will let you know when it's time. Don't worry, I will keep you safe no matter what. After all, I still rely on you to make money, right?"

Zhuang Mu nodded with a chuckle, knowing in his heart that he was already on board a pirate ship and it would be impossible for him to escape.

Besides, wealth and honor are achieved through risk. Who knows if today’s crisis will prevent him from becoming extremely wealthy in the future?

Xu Yao was satisfied with his calmness. He took out a piece of cake and ate it while waiting. He didn't intend to eavesdrop on what the two people were saying. After all, the crying was going on, and it didn't seem like there was anything interesting about two men crying.

Zhao Xi couldn't help but be curious: "What do you think they said?"

"Why are you curious about this?"

"I'm afraid they are hiding something from you. You've been too open with this disciple recently. If someone doesn't know, they would think you have a son."

Xu Yao choked and licked his teeth. "Things are different now. It's your turn to lecture me."

"I'm afraid you're in a situation where you're confused. Don't forget what your goal is."

How could Xu Yao forget? She smiled and said, "Don't worry, I won't forget revenge. Since I have accepted you as my disciple, I will do good things to the end and be a good master. I can't accept you as my disciple and then treat you harshly."

Zhao Xi: "You've never been a master, have you?"

Xu Yao nodded, "What's wrong? Is there a problem?"

"It's a big problem. In this world, any apprentice who wants to learn from a master must pay a tuition fee to the master. Not only that, but he also has to work like a cow or a horse and do all kinds of chores for the master. If it were us in the Yuanqing Sect, those masters would treat us to death. Who is like you, who not only pays money and labor, but also protects him in various ways? You don't have any shameful thoughts about him, do you?"
