Chapter 860: A twists and turns
This is how things happen in the Jianghu world. It’s hard to explain the grudges and grievances. It becomes even more unclear if human lives are involved.
Of course, what Xing Muqing said were all her words. It is not certain what the truth is, but the facts are not important. What is important is how to deal with things calmly.
This is very difficult to do.
To put it bluntly, this is Taohuawu's own internal matter. Yang Yiyi wants to help, and Wu Shaoyi doesn't want the doctor to run away, but as outsiders, they have no excuse to intervene in this matter.
Having said that, even if Xing Muqing doesn't want to get involved in Jianghu affairs, if people come to visit, you can't stay behind closed doors.
After all, it is a rule left by the ancestors. After ten years of practice, the winner will be admitted to Taohuawu. But now you suddenly say that I don't recognize it and just stand there without leaving. This has become a simple rogue.
Xing Muqing did something more thorough and went directly to the government for help?
This is like going to court. Wouldn’t it be better?
No, because two families hold half of the land deed in Taohuawu, which means that half of the house you live in belongs to them.
Besides, just because you are asking about Jianghu matters does not mean that you don't care about your reputation. If this matter spreads, you will really lose face.
"In this case, if he wants to fight, then he will fight. If Master Xing can win once, he should be somewhat confident this time."
Yang Yiyi's idea is very simple. Father Xing Muqing won last time. A tiger father has no son, so Xing Muqing should be able to do the same.
However, when talking about this, Xing Muqing felt a little embarrassed:
"Since my father passed away, I have abandoned my martial arts and become obsessed with medical skills all day long."
"Um...then there must be some disciples who are worthy of big responsibilities, right?"
"To be honest, I have declined all those who come to learn martial arts as a disciple. All the disciples I accept are medical practitioners."
"..."
No wonder you don't ask about Jianghu, this Taohuawu has simply turned into a medical clinic.
"Since we can't fight, we should follow the rules. With Master Xing's medical skills, it will not be difficult to start a new business outside, and we can completely get rid of the entanglement of grievances in the world."
"It's not that I'm reluctant to part with this house. Mu Kai asked for the Peach Blossom Boxing Sutra by name. If he hadn't refused, he would definitely not give up, but this thing must not be thrown away."
This is not allowed, and that is not allowed. Are you really just like others say, trying to take advantage of everything?
Xing Muqing also felt that these words were too much, and then explained:
"The Peach Blossom Boxing Sutra is divided into two volumes, and each of our families holds one half. Mu Kai may intend to imitate the ancestor and practice both internally and externally, but the Peach Blossom Quan Sutra I hold is not only about boxing techniques, but also a precious medical book that records the experiences of my ancestors throughout the generations. How can you give away your medical skills and experience?”
After ten years of negotiation to decide who will live in Taohuawu, there is no saying that the winner will take away all the Peach Blossom Boxing Sutra. This part is not controversial. Xing Mukai wants it just because he wants it.
But the question is, if someone kicks you, what can you do?
Again, this is a family matter, and Yang Yiyi and Wu Shaoyi have no reason to interfere.
Wu Shaoyi actually wanted to ask if you could help me heal my leg first, but he really couldn't speak.
Yang Yiyi also felt very sad, saying that she was here to deliver a letter to the head of Taohuawu. If the current situation continued, the head would be replaced tomorrow, so could this letter be sent to Xing Muqing?
"The two heroines must be tired after traveling all the way. I have ordered people to prepare guest rooms, so you can stay here. Tomorrow..."
Speaking of this, Xing Muqing couldn't help but sigh:
"If Mu Kai goes too far tomorrow to bully others, please ask the two heroines to give him a fair word."
There is no way, you can't beat it, you can't rely on it, you can only minimize the losses and don't lose any lives.
Yang Yiyi and Wu Shaoyi looked at each other and shook their heads. The difficulty is that this is a family matter, otherwise Yang Yiyi would rush up and fight me! .
Isn't this solved?
Since I can't interfere, the most I can do is be a witness, and that's it.
The two were about to stand up and say goodbye when a Taohuawu disciple ran in from outside the door, looking flustered.
Damn it? Could it be that Xing Mukai knocking on the door again?
"Report to the head, the imperial court has sent someone." Upon hearing this, Xing Muqing thought for a moment and said:
"It may be someone sent by your uncle, please come in quickly."
Many people in Taohuawu were hired as imperial doctors because of their superb medical skills. Xing Muqing thought they were sent by his seniors who were imperial doctors, so he naturally let them in.
Yang Yiyi and Wu Shaoyi were about to get up and leave. When they heard that the court had sent someone, they both wanted to sit down and take a look. It happened that Xing Muqing didn't say anything to chase them away, and just wanted to see if he wanted to.
Soon, the disciple who reported the news came back with a man.
This man is wearing a flying fish suit and has an embroidered spring knife hanging on his waist. He is young and has a dignified appearance.
It was Sun Wei from Plum Blossom Guard.
When Sun Wei saw Yang Yiyi sitting there, he also showed a slightly confused expression. However, he did not come up to say hello immediately. Instead, he cupped his fists at Xing Muqing and said:
"My subordinate, Sun Wei of the Plum Blossom Guard Qianhu, has been ordered to come to help Head Xing."
Xing Muqing didn't know Sun Wei at all, so when he heard it was Plum Blossom Guard, his eyelids twitched.
The reputation of the Plum Blossom Guard is obviously not very good, as it is a typical court eagle dog.
I thought it was sent by my senior brother who was an imperial physician, but who knew it was actually the Plum Blossom Guard? Whose order?"
Sun Wei smiled and said nothing, pointing to the top of his head.
Xing Muqing understood it at a glance, but just because he understood it, he suddenly became very frightened.
"Sun Qianhu, I'm just a fool in the rivers and lakes. Why..."
"Headmaster Xing's words are wrong. Taohuawu's medical skills are extraordinary and well-known among the people. Even in the palace, there are imperial doctors who came from Taohuawu. How can he be described as just being careless?"
"How dare you? How can I, a mere commoner, reach heaven to listen?"
"I see, Master Xing doesn't know something. Is Dr. Fu your senior brother?"
"Exactly."
"Doctor Fu has made great achievements recently. As long as you know this, no matter what happens in Taohuawu, please let us know and we will take care of it."
It must be that Fu Yuyi, who was working in the palace, is now a popular person in front of the Yuezhou Emperor, and the Meihua Guard certainly knows these things.
When subordinates are doing things, you can't do what your superiors say, you have to figure out what the superiors want.
The emperor was very optimistic about the doctor Fu, so the Meihua Guard naturally wanted to check the background of the doctor Fu. They happened to find out that someone was trying to cause trouble in Taohuawu, so the Meihua Guard sent someone.
After a few days, when the emperor asked about Fu Yuyi, Meihuawei could naturally take credit.
Not only are you meritorious, the emperor also thinks that you are particularly good at doing things, which is certainly worth doing.
This is roughly what Plum Blossom Guard's plan is, but the pressure is now on Xing Muqing's side.
Taking advantage of this east wind, it is not a bad idea for Taohuawu to completely break away from the world.
But if you borrow the east wind, you have to pay it back.
If you are close to the court, you will naturally be far away from the world. The advantage is that you are far away from the grudges of the world, but the disadvantage is that you may be under the control of the court in the future.
