Fire Captain

Xiao Jingrui brought Bai Ziyang and Chu Qiao back to the Ningguo Marquis Mansion. Xiao Jingrui said, "Mr. Su, who asked Ziyang to come for treatment this time, is currently living in my Xuelu. This way..."

On the way, he happened to meet Xie Bi, the son of the Marquis's mansion. Xiao Jingrui introduced him, "Xie Bi, this is Brother Bai Ziyang, my friend. I specially invited him to treat Mr. Su. This is Miss Chu Qiao, Brother Bai's friend."

"This is Xie Bi, my second brother."

Xie Bi smiled and said, "Mr. Bai, Miss Chu! My brother's friends are the honored guests of the Xie Mansion. You two can stay here with peace of mind. Please!"

Bai Ziyang and Chu Qiao smiled and said, "Thank you!"

Xiao Jingrui brought Bai Ziyang and Chu Qiao to Mei Changsu and introduced them: "Brother Bai, let me introduce you. This is Mr. Su Zhesu. He has some old illnesses, and I specially invited him to stay in Jinling for a while to recuperate."

"Brother Su, this Bai Ziyang is quite knowledgeable in medical skills. I'll ask him to come and take a look at Brother Su and regulate his body."

Bai Ziyang, Chu Qiao and Mei Changsu all pretended that it was their first meeting and that they did not know each other. Mei Changsu said, "I have heard of the great doctor Bai for a long time. It is my great honor to have you treat me today."

Bai Ziyang also said: "Sir, you are too kind. Mr. Su and I have known each other for a long time. Today, I see that he is indeed as famous as he is!"

Chu Qiao just watched them flatter each other.

The two of them were talking happily, but they suddenly heard a strong male voice shouting, "Who are you? How dare you act wildly in the Marquis' Mansion! Where are you going?"

The four of them looked at each other and rushed to the scene. In the courtyard, Fei Liu was fighting with a burly man with a masculine appearance and bright eyes.

Chu Qiao had seen Fei Liu's skills before, but now she found that Fei Liu was like a bird in a cage in front of this man. No matter how he moved, he could not escape from his grasp. And it seemed that this man did not use his full strength at all. This man's martial arts skills were rare. Chu Qiao was stunned, and the warlike blood in her body seemed to be aroused.

Seeing this, Mei Changsu hurriedly said, "Fei Liu, stop!" Although Fei Liu was getting a little excited in the fight, he still obeyed Mei Changsu's orders and immediately stopped and stood behind Mei Changsu.

"Jingrui, what's going on?" At this time, Ningguo Hou Xie Yu also came over.

Mei Changsu stepped forward and bowed, saying, "I hope you will forgive me, Lord. This is one of my guards. He has never been very sensible and has never followed the rules when going in and out. I will definitely discipline him strictly in the future."

Xie Yu said with a bad face: "Mr. Su is an honored guest, and we will treat him well. But your habit of going in and out should be changed, otherwise misunderstandings like today will be inevitable in the future!"

Mei Changsu said: "Thank you for your generosity, Lord."

Xie Yu saw that Bai Ziyang and Chu Qiao looked unfamiliar, so he asked, "Who are these two?"

Xiao Jingrui on the side hurriedly stepped forward and introduced: "Father, this is Bai Ziyang, the top doctor of Langya. I specially invited him to treat Brother Su. This Miss Chu Qiaochu is Brother Bai's friend. She just arrived today and has not had time to report to father yet."

"Oh!" Xie Yu's expression became much better towards Bai Ziyang, and he said, "I've heard of Mr. Bai's name for a long time. Since you two are Jing Rui's friends, please don't be polite. Just treat us as your own family." As long as there is no deep hatred, most people will be more polite to the miracle doctor. Who knows what you might encounter? It's better to leave some way out when you meet so that you can meet again in the future.

Bai Ziyang smiled slightly, bowed, and said, "My lord, you are too polite."

Xie Yu then turned to the man beside him and said, "I feel really bad for disturbing Commander Meng to take action personally."

The great commander Meng said nonchalantly, "No, I just saw this little brother's extraordinary body movements, jumping around and playing in your house, and your guards didn't notice it at all, so I couldn't help but help you. Since it's a misunderstanding, let's just treat it as a sparring match today."

Regardless of whether Xie Yu and Commander Meng believed that Mei Changsu was just an ordinary person, they said goodbye to them and returned to Xuelu. Regardless of Xiao Jingrui's concerns about Mei Changsu's identity, Bai Ziyang, who was left behind, said to Chu Qiao: "The man just now was Commander Meng Zhi, who is in charge of the 50,000 imperial guards in the capital. He ranks second on the Langya Master List and is the best master in Daliang. He is loyal, upright, and loyal."

Chu Qiao sighed, "This Commander Meng is indeed a martial arts master, and gives people the impression of being brave and invincible, and upright."

Bai Ziyang: “Indeed.”

At night, Mei Changsu, Bai Ziyang and Chu Qiao sat cross-legged and chatted.

Chu Qiao said: "I didn't expect that I would meet so many outstanding people in just a few days in Daliang. Daliang is completely different from the Western Wei Dynasty."

Mei Changsu smiled and said, "In fact, Daliang is no different from Western Wei. There are politicians who play power games and ruthless playboys. It's just that some people still have morality in their hearts, and what we are doing now is to overthrow those people one by one."

Chu Qiao thought for a moment and said, "Oh? That's a really good thing..."

Bai Ziyang said: "It's a big deal, but it may not be a good thing. The dangers involved are too great to describe in detail."

Chu Qiao said: "With Mr. Su here, why are you afraid of danger?"

Mei Changsu chuckled.

Bai Ziyang finally said to Chu Qiao: "Yan Yujin will definitely take us out to play in the next two days. If we are lucky, I will definitely introduce you to another outstanding person."

Chu Qiao asked curiously, "Oh? Are there any other outstanding figures? Aren't there too many figures in Jinling City?"

Bai Ziyang said: "When the wind and clouds gather, there are a few more, which can be said, but there are too many, which cannot be said. They are just the few who remain."

After the midnight tea party, Yan Yujin took them around for fun over the next few days, visiting almost all the fun places in Jinling City. If they hadn't been concerned about Mei Changsu's illness, they would have probably gone to other towns.

When the group returned from outside the city, Bai Ziyang saw two people standing at the city gate. Bai Ziyang turned around and glanced at Mei Changsu in the carriage. Mei Changsu also saw it and silently lowered the curtain. Bai Ziyang reined in his horse and turned to Xiao Jingrui and Yan Yujin and said, "Brother Su is a little tired. You can send him back first. Ah Chu and I will go shopping and return slowly."

After the three of them left, Bai Ziyang said to Chu Qiao, "We are so lucky to have run into her. Let me take you to meet her."

Chu Qiao followed Bai Ziyang's horse and said with a smile: "These days you have been introducing me to new people. In fact, we still have a long time to stay in Jinling City, so there is no need to rush at this moment."

Bai Ziyang said: "Ah Chu, the person you met before... was not very good. I understand the kindness and hope in your heart, so I am afraid that you will be sad and disappointed with this world. I want to bring all the beautiful things in the world to you. I want to take you to meet all these beautiful people. They will let you know that there is still hope in this world..."

Chu Qiao interrupted Bai Ziyang and said with a smile: "Do I look like someone who can be easily defeated?"

Bai Ziyang was stunned for a moment and said, "Of course you are not. You will stand up from where you fell, but the less wounds in your heart, the better. After all, even if you recover, there will still be a scar."

Chu Qiao smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'm fine."

Bai Ziyang grinned and laughed brightly, "But I still want to introduce this character to you!" After that, he raised his whip and ran forward.

Chu Qiao saw Bai Ziyang riding his horse to a woman and saw that the other person who was there before had already left. She happily shouted, "Sister Nihuang!"

Chu Qiao saw the woman. Her clothes were simple, not as complicated as those of the young ladies from wealthy families. Her makeup was plain and elegant, but she looked heroic and full of spirit.

Bai Ziyang took Chu Qiao's hand and said, "Come, let me introduce you. This is Princess Nihuang of the Southern Border Mu Wangfu. She is the female commander in charge of 100,000 cavalrymen. She has been a powerful figure in Southern Chu for decades and is the only woman on the Langya Master List."

"Sister Nihuang, this is Chu Qiao A Chu, my good friend." Bai Ziyang boasted to Princess Nihuang.

Speaking of the acquaintance between Bai Ziyang and Princess Nihuang, it was many years ago. At that time, Bai Ziyang went down the mountain for the first time. He had heard Mei Changsu mention Princess Nihuang a long time ago, and he himself had also heard of Princess Nihuang's style, so he was extremely curious about her, and everyone else had to line up behind her. Now, as soon as he had the opportunity to go down the mountain, he went straight to the southern border.

But Princess Nihuang was not so easy to meet, and the military discipline of Prince Mu's military camp was so strict that he had to work hard to sneak into the military camp as a doctor. With his superb medical skills, he became famous in the military camp within a month. But even so, it took him half a year to get summoned by the princess for the first time. After all, as a commander of an army, he had no free time. Bai Ziyang also understood this truth, so he seized the opportunity. After that, he took advantage of his young age and perfectly played his shameless and naughty spirit, acting coquettishly and cutely. It was really unbearable to watch, and finally Nihuang treated him as a younger brother. If they were not siblings, he would have almost squeezed out Prince Mu.

Mu Nihuang was very happy to see Bai Ziyang now. Upon hearing this, she said to Chu Qiao, "Hello, Miss Chu!"

Chu Qiao smiled and said, "Princess Nihuang!"

Mu Nihuang smiled and said, "Since you are Zi Yang's good friend, you can call me sister. Miss Achu is extraordinary in appearance and has a resolute and courageous look. Zi Yang has good taste."

Bai Ziyang smiled foolishly when he heard this, causing Chu Qiao to look at him. Later, Bai Ziyang asked, "I haven't asked Sister Nihuang what you are doing here yet?"

Mu Nihuang said, "Xia Dong from the Xuanjing Division was sent out by His Majesty to investigate a case. I just sent her off. By the way... why did you come to the capital?"

Bai Ziyang said, "I was invited by Jing Rui to come to the capital to treat his friend Mr. Su."

Mu Nihuang thought of the rumors in the past two days that Mr. Su's guards had fought a draw with Commander Meng, and could not help but say: "This Mr. Su is really powerful. As soon as he entered Jinling City, he caused all parties to move..." Perhaps she thought it was inappropriate to say this to Bai Ziyang and the others, so she stopped talking.

Seeing this, Bai Ziyang said, "Sister Nihuang is still talking about others. When I entered the capital, I heard all about your martial arts competition to find a husband. I have to congratulate you!"

Mu Nihuang said: "It's just that your majesty's kindness is hard to refuse..."

After chatting with Princess Nihuang for a while, they agreed to meet again in the palace next time. Princess Nihuang had other things to do, so she left first. Bai Ziyang and Chu Qiao rode side by side into the city.

Chu Qiao said: "Princess Nihuang's demeanor and bearing are indeed impressive."

Bai Ziyang rode his horse closer to Chu Qiao, took Chu Qiao's hand and said, "In my opinion, you and Sister Nihuang have your own strengths, but Sister Nihuang has guarded the southern border for decades, fighting in a million-strong army, and I believe you will be no worse than her when you reach her age." After that, he smiled at Chu Qiao and said, "I have confidence in you."
