"Oh my, what happened?" Guan Zhongbo was startled, and ran forward with his medicine chest.
Xiao Jinfeng exchanged a glance with Er Longzi, and they quickly followed...
A secondary reason he didn't want to return to the palace was that the old Yun family was too lively, with new dramas unfolding every day, and none of them were repetitive.
Family matters, quarrels, joys, and sorrows, all converged into a perfect picture of rural life...
This was completely different from the struggles in the palace. Although there were constant conflicts within the Yun family, no one harbored the intent to kill each other.
Palace struggles, on the other hand, often revolved around methods like poisoning, framing, slander, spreading rumors, feigning weakness, fawning, and the "Li Mao Huan太子" (a trope of swapping a prince for a commoner). Xiao Jinfeng was tired of seeing it all...
After Guan Zhongbo rushed into the room, he first saw a young man pinning a girl onto the kang, restraining her hands, their faces almost touching.
On the floor beneath the kang, a pair of scissors had fallen, stained with a few drops of blood.
Although Guan Zhongbo couldn't clearly see the girl's appearance, her voice was as piercing as thunder on a clear day, almost deafening him...
"Ahhh! Kong, let go of me! I don't want to live anymore, let go!" Han Chijiao shrieked and thrashed about.
Kong Xingzhuo frowned and angrily reprimanded, "Can you just calm down? Otherwise, I'll throw you into the granary and let you freeze to death!"
Earlier, when Han Chijiao went to the main hall, she had secretly taken a pair of scissors from the table, intending to scare Kong Xingzhuo. However, she accidentally lost her grip and cut her own wrist...
Crimson blood flowed out, soaking her sleeve.
"If you have the guts, freeze me to death, do you dare?" Han Chijiao narrowed her eyes and, when Kong Xingzhuo wasn't paying attention, kicked him right in the groin.
With a muffled thud, Kong Xingzhuo's groin tightened, his face turned pale, and he clutched his private area as he fell off the large kang...
"Ouch, it hurts, it hurts so much!" Kong Xingzhuo collapsed on the ground like a noodle, writhing in pain.
Guan Zhongbo: "..."
Xiao Jinfeng and Er Longzi, who had just entered the room: "..."
Indeed, barbarian women were not to be trifled with; they would kick a man in the groin at the slightest provocation.
"Pah, there isn't a single good man in your Daliang Kingdom, all of you are scum, pah, pah, pah!" Han Chijiao stood up from the kang, took out a handkerchief, and bandaged her wound.
Guan Zhongbo found the voice somewhat familiar, but the room was too dark for him to see Han Chijiao's appearance clearly.
After pulling open the curtain, Guan Zhongbo took two steps towards the edge of the kang and looked up. Good heavens, he was so shocked he almost ascended to immortality on the spot...
Seeing Doctor Guan clutching his chest and staggering backward, Xiao Jinfeng frowned, "Doctor Guan, did you have a stroke? What are you twitching about?"
Guan Zhongbo glared at him and said irritably, "You're the one having a stroke! Can't I lose my balance?"
Honestly, young people should have some decency with their words...
Han Chijiao looked over when she heard the voices. The moment she saw Guan Zhongbo, she was equally shocked, her reaction as dramatic as Guan Zhongbo's.
"You, you, you, you..." Han Chijiao's beautiful eyes widened, and she pointed at Guan Zhongbo with trembling fingers, her mouth agape wide enough to fit a frozen pear.
"Ahem!" Guan Zhongbo coughed lightly and gave Han Chijiao a meaningful look, "Miss, how could you be so careless? Are scissors something to play with? Hurry and get down from the kang!"
Han Chijiao was stunned for a moment. After a brief hesitation, she jumped down from the kang.
Her obedient and gentle demeanor was like that of a little kitten.
Xiao Jinfeng: "..."
Er Longzi: "..."
What was going on?
Why did the fearless Princess Han act like a mouse seeing a cat when she saw old man Guan?
Xiao Jinfeng curved his eyebrows and looked sharply at Er Longzi, demanding an explanation.
Er Longzi was also bewildered. When the Prince had asked him to find a doctor, Guan Zhongbo happened to be traveling in a village, treating the common people, so he had brought him back...
As for Old Guan's background, he knew almost nothing.
"Miss, look at how you kicked this young man. If he becomes infertile in the future, can you bear the responsibility?" Guan Zhongbo asked, putting his hands behind his back and putting on a show.
Kong Xingzhuo, who was still rolling on the ground, glared fiercely at Han Chijiao. This crazy woman, one day, I will definitely make you submit. Let's see if you dare to be so defiant...
Han Chijiao snorted, "Who told him to touch me inappropriately? He deserves it! Men like that should be infertile, hmph!"
Guan Zhongbo: "..."
So, why did you run all the way from the Northern Border to here?
Did the Khan know when you left?
Oh dear, the entire barbarian tribe treats you as their most precious gem. Now that you've suddenly appeared in Dashui Village, the Khan must be going mad...
"You two, what are you looking at?" Han Chijiao put her hands on her hips and scanned Xiao Jinfeng and Er Longzi coldly. "I'm hungry and want to eat roast lamb. You two go prepare it immediately. Also, heat up a pot of Shao Daozi for me. Sorghum wine has too low an alcohol content; it's not satisfying!"
Xiao Jinfeng: "..."
Er Longzi: "..."
This princess is a bit too wild!
For a young lady, to dare to drink Shao Daozi alone outside, it's a potent liquor that even men are reluctant to try.
"Er Longzi, let's go!" Xiao Jinfeng decided to ignore her.
After the master and servant left, Kong Xingzhuo got up, grumbling, and went out to find medicine...
Only Guan Zhongbo and Han Chijiao remained in the room, the surroundings silent, with only the cold wind whistling past, rustling the window frames with a 'shasha' sound.
A moment later, Han Chijiao closed the door and came before Guan Zhongbo, bowing respectfully, "Teacher, why are you here in Dashui Village?"
That's right, Doctor Guan was Han Chijiao's teacher...
Back then, when Han Chijiao's mother was seriously ill and near death, it was Guan Zhongbo's astonishing medical skills that saved her.
Seeing his divine medical skills, Han Chijiao's mother wanted to keep him in the tribe to treat soldiers, and also for Han Chijiao to learn traditional Chinese medicine from him...
However, Guan Zhongbo only stayed in the tribe for three years before leaving. It had been two years since he last saw Han Chijiao, and he hadn't expected this girl to grow up so much.
"I wanted to ask you too? What's going on? Why did you come to Dashui Village?" Guan Zhongbo asked in a deep voice.
It was better not to mention it. As soon as it was brought up, Han Chijiao's anger flared, and she pointed outside, cursing, "It's those despicable and shameless people! They ran to the camp and captured me! There isn't a single good person in the Daliang Kingdom!"
Speaking of which, Han Chijiao grabbed Guan Zhongbo's hand, "Teacher, let's escape quickly. How about we leave tonight?"
She was quite confident in her own martial arts skills.
Guan Zhongbo: "..."
