Chapter 808: Late-Night Assassin
The next day, Song Shuwen came to the medical clinic again.
The dismal results of yesterday's apprenticeship kept him awake all night. After careful consideration, he decided to let go of some of his persistence and lower the standards for accepting apprentices.
Those who were intimidated by his high standards walked away so simply. He thought that after lowering the standards, many people would come, but the reality poured cold water on him.
It wasn't until noon that a few timid faces appeared in front of the hospital.
There was curiosity and desire in their eyes, but mostly hesitation and fear.
Song Shuwen smiled bitterly in his heart. He knew that after yesterday, he had become a harsh "devil" in the eyes of these people.
"Are you here to become a disciple?" Song Shuwen tried to keep his voice gentle.
Several people looked at me, and I looked at you. Finally, a bolder boy stood up and said, "Sir, we want to give it a try."
Song Shuwen nodded. He could see the determination in the eyes of these children. Maybe he could really find a suitable apprentice among them.
The medical center was filled with the aroma of herbal medicine, and Song Shuwen began a new round of tests. His eyes scanned each child, expecting to find that distinctive light.
This recruitment of disciples must be successful. He secretly swore that the medical center needed fresh blood and people who would inherit his legacy.
At the end of the day, Song Shuwen finally breathed a sigh of relief. After many screenings, he finally got five apprentices.
He looked at the five energetic young people in front of him seriously and said solemnly: "From now on, you are no longer allowed to use your real names. You will be called boss, second, third, fourth and fifth in order. ”
The five young people were stunned for a moment, then nodded in agreement.
These five people are of similar age.
After Song Shuwen left the medical clinic, he went straight back to the Prime Minister's Mansion and went straight to the hall where Xi Yu was. He informed Xi Yu in detail about the recruitment of apprentices, and also brought the five new apprentices with him. Come over and let them meet Xi Yu.
Xi Yu raised his eyes and looked at these five people. With a faint smile on his face, he waved his hand and said, "As for the matter of recruiting disciples, you can do whatever you think is appropriate. There is no need to bring them to see me. ”
But the five people didn't think so. They were full of joy and their faces were filled with excitement.
After all, Prime Minister Xiyu was famous far and wide. How could they have the chance to see him so close on weekdays? Standing in front of him now, he felt extremely honored and couldn't be happier.
Finally, Song Shuwen came to the hotel with his five apprentices. This place has been temporarily transformed by him into a study place, with various medical books and herbal medicine samples placed in the room.
Song Shuwen stood in front of the apprentices and said solemnly: "From now on, we will officially start learning. You must know that I am an extremely rigorous person, and there is no room for sloppiness in studying medicine. If you want to learn the true skills, just You must go all out and study hard. The road to medicine is long, and only diligence can make you go further on this road.”
After hearing this, the disciples all nodded solemnly.
Xi Yu was sitting in the study, and as his thoughts were flowing, he suddenly thought of Dongfang Hong. The scene where Dongfang Hong was injured because of himself appeared in his mind, and a complex emotion surged in his heart, which was both grateful and full of heartache.
He immediately decided to visit Dongfanghong, just like he visited patients in his previous life, and even had some eggs specially prepared.
When night fell and the lanterns came on, Xi Yu took the basket with eggs and got up and walked to Youzhou College.
All the way to the college, he walked straight towards Dongfanghong's dormitory by a familiar route.
The college shrouded in darkness was somewhat quiet.
Dongfang Hong was sitting at the table in the dormitory, immersed in the world of books. The flickering candlelight reflected her side face softer and softer.
Suddenly, she heard a knock on the door, and she looked up. When she opened the door, she saw Xi Yu standing outside. She was surprised and happy, and hurriedly stood up to greet him.
"Xi Yu, why are you here?" Dongfang Hong asked with a smile, her eyes full of surprise and joy.
Xi Yu walked into the room with a smile and handed over the food box with eggs in his hand: "I thought you were injured, so I brought some eggs to see you."
Dongfang Hong looked at the food box and was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help but laugh.
Because after all, this is the way to look at the patient from the front.
It was refreshing for the dignified Prime Minister to visit me in this way.
Xi Yu looked at Dongfang Hong, as if he could understand his inner thoughts, and said softly: "I, now I want to relive those things in my previous life. After all, you and Wenxuan both came through time. The relationship between us Friendship is so precious.”
Dongfang Hong's eyes lit up after hearing this, and she responded with a smile: "In that case, I'm going to get some wine, and we can drink together and reminisce about old times."
Xi Yu was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.
"I'm here to see you, and I even asked you to get some drinks. How can I be embarrassed about that?"
Dongfanghong pretended to be angry and said: "What are you talking about? Why are you being polite to me?"
As soon as the words fell, the two looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.
At this time, Wenxuan was taking a leisurely walk in the yard when he suddenly heard bursts of laughter coming from Dongfanghong's dormitory. He was curious and walked towards it.
When he arrived at the door, Wenxuan knocked lightly. When the door opened, Xi Yu saw it was him and explained with a smile: "Wenxuan, Dongfanghong was hurt a little while trying to help me, and I feel really bad about it. Come and see him."
Dongfang Hong looked at Wenxuan, her eyes seemed to have lost the strong emotion in the past, and looked quite dull. She just said out of politeness: "Since you are here, let's chat here for a while, I will go out and do some work." Come on, let’s have some wine together.”
After that, without waiting for Wenxuan to respond, he walked out, leaving Wenxuan and Xiyu in the room.
Xi Yu then told Wenxuan in detail what happened at the bun shop that day.
Wenxuan knew about that store, and secretly thought that it was a shady store. He didn't expect that it was actually related to Dongfanghong.
Not long after, Dongfang Hong came back with wine and warmly greeted the two of them to drink together.
But Wenxuan refused: "I won't drink. I still have some things to deal with."
After saying that, he stood up and left.
Neither of them forced her.
But from Xi Yu's point of view, it would be perfect if she stayed too.
This night, the moonlight shines through the window into the house, reflecting the figures of Dongfang Hong and Xi Yu.
The two of them drank one cup at a time, and the more they drank, the happier they became. The laughter and laughter echoed in the small dormitory.
Gradually, as the drunkenness increased, their eyes became blurred and their words became more and more unclear, but they still refused to put down the wine glasses in their hands.
I don't know how long it took, but they finally couldn't resist the strong drunkenness. Their bodies tilted and they fell drunk directly on the table. The wine glasses on the table were tilted to the side, and the remaining wine slowly dripped down, as if they were also drunk. Witness this hearty and friendly gathering.
Just when the two of them were drunk, suddenly, a black shadow fell silently on Youzhou College like a ghost.
It was a mysterious knight. He was seen performing wonderful Qinggong, and he shuttled between the houses of the academy as lightly and silently as a fallen leaf.
He was dressed in night clothes, tightly wrapped around his body, with only a pair of sharp eyes exposed, shining coldly under the moonlight, exuding a mysterious and dangerous aura.
He was still holding a sword tightly in his hand, and the lines on the scabbard were vaguely visible in the dim light.
The knight's footsteps were very fast, and he arrived at the door of Dongfanghong's dormitory in a short time.
He raised his eyes and saw that the door was ajar, and there was a faint smell of drunkenness in the room.
He frowned slightly, stood at the door and hesitated for a moment, then slowly raised his feet and walked towards the house.
The man glanced around the room and instantly recognized Dongfang Hong. A sneer curled up at the corner of his mouth, and there was a cold chill in his eyes.
Immediately afterwards, he walked inside without hesitation. Although his steps were light, there was an undeniable sense of oppression.
Soon, he stood in front of Dongfang Hong. Without saying a word, he suddenly put the sword in his hand on Dongfang Hong's neck.
The cold touch made Dongfang Hong tremble, and most of his alcoholism dissipated in an instant.
His eyes widened and he shouted, "Who are you?"
This voice was particularly loud in the silent room, and it also woke up Xiyu.
Xi Yu was still a little confused, but when he saw the tense scene in front of him, his drunkenness suddenly disappeared, and he quickly looked at the mysterious man warily, preparing to deal with this unexpected situation.
Xi Yu really didn't expect that someone would attack Dongfang Hong. In his impression, Dongfang Hong had always been kind and didn't seem to have offended anyone.
The secret guards were nearby at the moment, but they were not sure whether the target of this mysterious man who suddenly appeared was Xi Yu himself or Dongfang Hong.
After all, their main duty is to protect Xi Yu. Strictly speaking, they have no obligation to protect Dongfang Hong, so they don't dare to act rashly for a while. They can only wait and see what happens in the dark, waiting for the right time to take action.
The man's eyes were cold, and the sword in his hand was pointed steadily at Dongfang Hong's neck. The tip of the sword was not even an inch away from her skin, and blood could be seen with just a little force.
He turned his head to look at Xi Yu and said in a cold tone: "I don't know who you are, but I have no enmity or enmity with you. If you know each other, leave now. I will only take his life today."
Xi Yu quickly raised his hand to signal the man to calm down, and advised: "Brother, if you have anything to say, let's talk it over carefully and don't be impulsive. What grudge do you have with Dongfang Hong that makes you insist on being so cruel?"
Dongfanghong also suppressed the fear in her heart at this time, looked at the man, and asked: "Who are you? I asked myself that I have never had any enmity with you, why do you treat me like this?"
The man sneered again, his voice full of ridicule.
"Hmph, when you get to the underworld, go ask the Lord of Hell and he will know what is recorded in your book of life and death. Today, you cannot escape this disaster."
Upon hearing this, Xi Yu stood up suddenly, with anger in his eyes, and responded coldly: "Why do you want to take people's lives indiscriminately? You have the guts to do it, but why don't you have the guts to reveal your true identity? What’s his face? Could it be that he’s doing something shameful?”
The man didn't care at all about Xi Yu's questioning, he still looked cold and sneered again: "I will surrender after killing him, and I will let everyone in the world know the reason. However, you don’t need to worry about it. I advise you to leave here quickly, otherwise, don’t blame me for killing you as well, but don’t risk your life for irrelevant people.”
After saying that, the sword in his hand tightened again, as if to warn Xi Yu not to act rashly.
At this critical moment, Xi Yu shouted loudly: "What are you still doing? Hurry up and protect my friends!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the secret guards who had been hiding in the darkness were instantly dispatched.
Their movements were as fast as lightning. Before the man had time to react, he saw two secret guards flashing to his side like ghosts. They grabbed his arms from the left and right, twisted them hard, and forced them away. He pulled away from Dongfang Hong, and then pushed him to the ground hard.
The man looked shocked, his eyes widened, struggling desperately, and shouted loudly: "Who are you? How did you show up?"
But no matter how much he struggled, the hands of the two secret guards were like iron pliers, restraining him firmly, making him unable to move, and he could only glare at the people around him with anger on his face.
At this time, Xi Yu calmly ordered the two secret guards: "Take off his mask quickly. I want to see who it is."
The secret guard received the order and neatly stretched out his hand to pull off the mask from the man's face.
Xi Yu and Dongfang Hong hurried forward to check, and saw that the man in front of them was an ordinary person with an ordinary appearance.
Dongfanghong looked at him carefully for a long time, frowned, and shook his head. He indeed did not recognize this person at all.
Afterwards, Dongfanghong nodded towards Xiyu, indicating that she really had no impression.
Xi Yu stared at the man sharply and said coldly: "Tell me, what happened to you? Why did you do this to Dongfang Hong? If you explain the reason clearly, maybe I can spare you. One life.”
The man snorted coldly, turned away, and did not answer. There was a stubbornness in his eyes, as if he did not intend to give in easily.
When the man heard Xi Yu's question, he became angry and yelled: "Who are you? You must meddle in your own business here! Tonight, I am determined to kill this beast." , no one can stop me!"
Dongfang Hong frowned, reacted instantly, pointed at the man and said, "I understand, he must be from that bun shop, or one of the gangsters who molested the two ladies on the street that day."
After Xi Yu was reminded like this, he immediately thought of this, and his eyes became a little more enlightened.
However, the man who was pinned to the ground looked confused and shouted loudly: "What are you talking about? What about a bun shop and teasing two ladies? I don't understand what you are talking about!"
While he struggled, his face was full of dissatisfaction, but his body was tightly held by the secret guard and he could not break free no matter what.
This time, Xi Yu and Dongfang Hong were confused. They looked at each other with confused expressions on their faces.
If it wasn't the two people they guessed were responsible, then who was instructing the man in front of them, and why did he do this to Dongfang Hong?
Xi Yu's face became more and more gloomy. He took a step forward, looked down at the man, and said coldly: "My patience is limited. You'd better tell the truth quickly, otherwise, don't blame me." You're welcome."
After saying that, there was an unquestionable majesty in his eyes, which made the man tremble slightly in his heart.
But he gritted his teeth and still stubbornly closed his mouth tightly, refusing to say a word.
Next, Xi Yu winked at the secret guards. The secret guards understood and immediately prepared to "greet" the man properly, thinking of using some means to force him to speak.
However, Xi Yu then lowered his voice and said, "This is Youzhou College after all. Don't make too much noise, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble."
After hearing this, the secret guards quickly nodded in agreement, and then worked together to drag the man to a corner of the room.
One of the secret guards lowered his voice and said viciously to the man: "When will you be willing to say it? Let's come back to this room again. If you keep being stubborn, you will be in trouble!"
Although the man's face was full of fear, he still held his neck, looking stubborn and unwilling to kill him.
Xi Yu frowned and asked Dongfang Hong again with a confused look on his face: "You really don't know that person? If you think about it again, you can't hide anything."
Dongfang Hong responded quickly and eagerly: "I swear, I definitely don't know him. How dare I hide anything about this."
Xi Yu sighed slightly and said helplessly: "That's all, let's wait until the secret guard comes out with the results."
After hearing this, Dongfang Hong couldn't help but break into a cold sweat as she recalled the thrilling scene just now. With lingering fear, she reached out and grabbed Xi Yu's arm tightly. Her eyes were full of fear and her voice was trembling.
"Fortunately, you came to see me today. Otherwise, I really don't know what to do, and no one will come to help me. I guess I will be..."
As he said that, he didn't dare to think about the terrible consequences any more.
After hearing Dongfang Hong's words, Xi Yu nodded thoughtfully, feeling that this was indeed the truth.
A smile appeared on his face again, and he comforted in a relaxed tone: "Don't worry, you are right. Since God asked us to travel here from our previous life, he will definitely not let us die like this easily. We, But they are all people with great fortune, so this little twist is nothing, it’s just a false alarm.”
After saying that, he winked at Dongfang Hong, trying to make him feel completely relieved.
Although Dongfang Hong also knew this truth, he still felt a little scared when he thought about it.
After a while, a secret guard came and said, "Prime Minister, that man is willing to speak."
"In that case, let him come over quickly. I want to hear what is going on."
At this time, Dongfanghong was even more curious.
There is no hatred without reason in the world. Why is this? (End of this chapter)
