Careerist in Qin Dynasty

Chapter 161

Nianduan had no objection to Lu Wei himself, or in other words, she had no objection to any individual person.

And just like what Nianduan himself said when he was in Handan City: Hall Master Lu is not a selfless person, but he has done many selfless things.

When making friends with people, you only care about their deeds and not their hearts.

What Nian Duan is really worried about is the innocence of young disciple Duan Murong, how can he be so credulous in other people's words.

The old doctor thought of this, slowly opened his eyes, and listened to the conversation outside the carriage turning to the discussion of his own condition. He stood up for a moment, and after a few breaths, he silently leaned back on the carriage again:

The farmer's Hall Master Lu must have planned this beforehand, but looking on the bright side, he really doesn't need to worry too much about safety issues along the way.

Please repay the kindness of escorting me when you arrive at Jinghu Medical Village.
She closed her eyes with thought, and when she regained consciousness, the carriage had already passed Daliang City.

She passed out again, and the coma lasted much longer than last time!
But that's not a bad thing.

But after Lu Wei introduced the rejuvenation energy into Nian Duan's body, some signs of symptoms were automatically relieved, and the coma turned out to be a kind of self-protection of her body.

Nian Duan can maintain his energy for a long time during the rest of the journey.

"Master, you are awake!"

After Xiao Duanmu cried out in surprise, he hurriedly opened the thick cloth in his arms, revealing an exquisite food box with a hot medicinal soup inside:
"Brother Lu judged that you woke up around this time today, so I specially prepared some mild medicinal porridge."

"Is Dr. Nianduan awake?"

Lu Wei's calm voice came from outside the carriage at the right time: "I remember that we will pass through a small town on this road. When we get there, we will rest in a small town inn for a day."

"Yes." Duan Murong saw that Nian Duan was holding the spoon smoothly and his expression was normal, so he opened a small opening in the curtain and stuck his head out: "Brother Lu can just arrange it."

Judging from the intensity of the sunlight shining through the small mouth, it was now noon.

"Master, what happened is..."

From Duan Murong's perspective, the master had already fainted before Brother Lu arrived, so she definitely didn't know much about the situation, so she told everything that had happened in the past few days in a serious voice.

After Nian Duan listened calmly, the carriage arrived at the town the hall master mentioned.

After getting out of the car and thanking Lu Wei, the two briefly exchanged a few words, and then Duan Murong helped her into the inn to rest.

Hall Master Lu waited for the doctor and his apprentice to leave. The smile on his face faded, and he turned around and walked directly to the teahouse opposite the inn.

As for the carriage, the waiter will arrange it properly without fear of being stolen.

After all, this entire town is owned by the farmer Gonggongtang!

"Hall Master!" "Brother Lu!"

On the third floor of the teahouse, Lu Wei met Li Shang and Lu Yu:

"This is the new headquarters of Wei State that you chose?"

Naturally, he sat in the main seat, and the master of the hall pressed his palms to signal the two of them to sit down as well.

"Yes." Li Shang and A Yu were responsible for different areas. These matters were reported by him, a native of Wei State: "According to the instructions of the hall master, most of the peasant disciples in Daliang City have to withdraw. Therefore, after careful discussion and inspection, we , chose this town.”

After Ayu withdrew Daliang from Zhao State, he resumed his old job in Jicheng: taking charge of external intelligence and internal surveillance work.

When Li Shang reported, he listened quietly.

In the current world situation, Lu Wei is not optimistic that Yan and Zhao can win together on the battlefield in Zhao, especially after the split of Yan.

Once Zhao and Yan are defeated, Zhao will be destroyed, but Yan and Yan will also be destroyed quickly as they are flanked by both sides.

In this way, the next target of the Qin army will be Wei.

Wei State's Daliang City will then face a worse situation than Handan City. The Gonggongtang Branch must withdraw its people from Daliang and preserve its strength before Qin State attacks Wei.

Regarding the orders of the leader, the top decision-makers of Gonggong Hall in Daliang City are Lu Yu and Lu Ye, who resolutely follow the orders of the leader regardless of the reason.

Li Shang and Chen Yu were the implementers. Even if they complained a little, they still carried out the plan obediently.

The current town is the result of the execution.

The development momentum of Wei Guo Gonggongtang branch is extremely smooth.With Chen Yu, the former customer representative of Xinling Lord, and Li Shang, a well-known among the lower-level knights, coming forward together, the number of disciples in Wei Gonggong Hall increased rapidly.

After reporting various data about the Gonggongtang branch here, Li Shang voluntarily exited the room, leaving the space to Lu Wei and Lu Yu who needed to report secretly.

"Brother Lu, this is the list of Gonggongtang spies in Wei State."

After handing the list of subordinates prepared in advance to the hall master, Ayu reported seriously:

"Li Shang and I are responsible for the headquarters evacuation plan. The remaining forces in Daliang City are led by Brother Ye and Chen Yu. There is nothing unusual at the moment."

"Zhang Er, who lurked into Siyue Hall, is now trusted by Situ Wanli and has been promoted to the Five Star Pearl Grass."

"The original backbone of Siyuetang was all composed of gamblers and drunkards, and the quality was very poor. But Zhang Er's ability, even in our Gonggongtang, can at least serve as a five-star steward and be responsible for the operation of a certain branch."

"It's rare for Situ Wanli to have such a talented person. He should have the intention to let Zhang Er take over the position of general manager. Brother Lu, I have planted a nail next to Zhang Er. He is a member of the original Siyue Hall. I am not afraid that he has ulterior motives."

"You've done a good job. I feel confident in everything you leave to Ayu."

After standing up and coming to Lu Yu's side, Lu Wei patted him on the shoulder. The latter was encouraged and his voice became louder:

"Also, Brother Lu, the little white-haired girl you asked to find has also been found."

"Do you want to take control now?"

Little girl with white hair?Oh, yes, I asked the Wei State to secretly confirm the current location of Xiao Meng, the head of the Taoist Tianzong.

Based on the clues of natural white hair and age, it is not difficult to deliberately spend resources to search and find the target.

"No need, just continue to monitor whereabouts."

The master of the hall shook his head. Xiaomeng's talent was extremely high. If he snatched it now, he would soon have another master under his command.

But that's all.

The identity of the leader of Xiaomeng Tianzong is more important.

"Yes, brother Lu, don't worry!"

The Wei State branch has the largest number of high-level disciples besides the Dazeshan headquarters.The development here does not require Lu Wei to be extra concerned.

After he had a brief understanding of the branch's data strength, he took the two doctors to the southeast at noon the next day.

Nian Duan recovered very well, so he didn’t rest much during the rest of the trip.

Lu Wei, who had done his homework in advance, would talk to Nianduan about the basic treatment manual she had given him before when he had nothing to do on the road.The master of the hall has a certain amount of medical knowledge and has taken the trouble to memorize the manual verbatim in his mind. Therefore, the few questions he asked appropriately were approved by Dr. Nianduan, and the relationship on the carriage was very harmonious.

Little Duanmu stayed with his master and occasionally expressed his own opinions, but not often.

Her real medical skills were far better than Hall Master Lu who suddenly showed up to show off, but in front of Nian Duan, Duan Murong was quiet most of the time.

After the carriage entered the Chu State, it had to be abandoned due to the dense river network.The three of them switched between crossing the river by boat and riding horses several times, and finally arrived at the place called Jinghu Lake by Nian Duan and Duan Murong.

After being drunk, I don't know that the sky is on the water, and the boat is full of dreams and the galaxy.

The clear lake in front of us has completely different names from different people. Most people just call it Big Lake.

When it got dark, Lu Wei, who had traveled a long way, finally found a boat dealer on the shore of the lake and bought a boat.

The sky is cloudless today and the stars are shining brightly, but standing on the lakeshore and looking into the depths of the lake, it is still pitch black.

It is impossible for ordinary people to drive a boat to find the medical village on the island in the middle of the lake at night in such a lightless environment.

But under Nian Duan's skilled command, everything is no problem.

The blurry island shadow finally appeared in front of us after rowing almost most of the night.

No one has lived here for several years, and no one comes here on weekdays. The simple pier used by doctors in the past is completely covered by overgrown reeds.

Lu Wei drew his sword and cut out the sword energy, sweeping out an entire open space on the shore, and then found the place to park the boat.

The wooden pier has not been maintained for a long time, and it is dangerous to use it directly now.

After the master of the hall stopped the boat far away, he did not use the dock. Instead, he used his own lightness skills to send the two women to the shore, and then turned back to prepare to park the boat.

Nian Duan and Duan Murong turned around and went into the medical village to clean up. They had to clean up the three habitable rooms as quickly as possible.

Stepping on the boat, Lu Wei turned to look at the two women walking into the medical village. Lu Wei looked far away, taking in the entire medical village environment. His first thought was: It is very big, and this can be used as another Gonggongtang stronghold!

It's just that the location is a bit remote, in the land of old Wuyue, far away from the Central Plains, so points will be deducted from the value.

'After conquering Nian Duan, I have to think about what other value can be developed here.'

The dock planks were indeed rotten and could no longer be used.

Lu Wei waved his sleeves towards the pier and shook it slightly. It immediately collapsed and sank into shape.

Unable to tie the boat to the pier, the hall master simply transported the boat to the shore and used the reeds cut before to pave and cover it to prevent it from floating away on the lake.

Looking at the sky that turned white, Lu Wei pulled out his sea-swallowing sword and chopped down a few nearby trees, preparing to repair the dock now.

Then, he can leave. There is no need to stay here longer at Jinghu Medical Village.

Nianduan's body can last for almost three months. Although he can't go to Shushan in these three months, the master of the hall can still do other things in Chu State.

"Brother Lu"

Duan Murong came from the direction of the medical village and shouted from a distance.

When she came closer, her bright eyes saw clearly that Lu Wei was repairing the dock of Jinghu Medical Village. Xiaoqiao's lips slightly opened: "Let's rest in the medical village for a while. We can work on it later."

"It's okay, my martial arts practitioners are very energetic~"

Lu Wei kept moving his hands: "Since the two doctors escorted have arrived at their destination, Lu will leave in the afternoon."

"It will be easier for Senior Nian Duan and Miss Duanmu to travel after the dock is repaired now."

"Are you so anxious?" Little Duanmu couldn't help but exclaimed: "Brother Lu was in charge of the carriage along the way and rowed the boat for most of the night last night. It's better to rest more in the medical village!"

"I am the leader of Gonggong Hall, and all the affairs of the thirty thousand Gonggong Hall disciples are on my shoulders~"

He shook his head with a slight smile: "But there isn't much time to stop."

"Don't worry, Miss Duanmu. I have a strong internal energy and a little fatigue is not worth mentioning."

Her fingers unconsciously played with the tips of her hair hanging on her chest. She gently moved the toe of her right mid-calf boot two inches forward to make a small hole in the ground. Duan Murong gently blinked her eyelashes and hesitantly said:

"Then I'll go make some restorative soup for Brother Lu. Brother Lu can drink the soup before leaving."

"That's fine." Lu Wei concentrated on the dock production and did not refuse the kindness: "This will trouble Miss Duanmu."

"Well", the cunning hidden in Xiao Duanmu's deep purple eyes flashed through: "Brother Lu, you are done with your work, remember to come to the doctor's village for soup!"

After saying that, without waiting for Hall Master Lu to answer, Duan Murong swung his thin ponytail and walked quickly back to the villa.

At noon, the pier was finally repaired.

After Lu Wei, Nian Duan and Duan Murong had a brief lunch, the old doctor went to rest alone.

Duan Murong took Hall Master Lu to a house that was slightly shabby on the outside but very clean inside, with an unknown small flower on the table:
"Brother Lu, rest here first. The nourishing soup will be ready soon."

Xiao Duan walked away with a serious face. There were still many things in the hospital that she had to clean alone. Lu Wei could understand being more serious.

After reading "Hidden in the City" for a while, in his perception, time seemed to have passed by for about half an hour, but the nourishing soup never came.

Lu Wei thoughtfully pushed the door out of the house and saw Duan Murong cleaning the yard with a simple broom.

The little girl also saw Brother Lu coming out. She nodded silently to him, then put down the broom and walked into the pharmacy. When she came out, she waved her hands gently and mouthed:
'Don't worry, the nourishing soup will be ready soon. '

With a smile in his heart, the master of the hall could tell at a glance that the little girl was using this as an excuse to stay in the villa to rest more. Such small tricks were too simple.

"Let me take care of the nourishing soup. Miss Duanmu is busy with her own business."

Walking forward, he also lowered his voice in order not to disturb Dr. Nianduan.

"Well, Brother Lu, remember, the color of the nourishing grass in the medicine jar turns purple, which means the soup is ready."

Unexpectedly, Duan Murong did not refuse, but calmly took him to the can of nourishing soup and medicine, carefully gave him a few instructions, and then continued to sweep the floor.

After she went out, Lu Wei opened the medicine jar, looked at the red spiritual nourishing grass rolling in the three boiling soups, and closed the lid again.

Yangshen Decoction is a well-known decoction. The main ingredient, 'Yangshen Grass', is initially red in form. It will turn purple only when it is boiled for more than three hours.

The Yangshen Decoction will be effective only after the Nourishing Grass turns purple. This is indeed correct pharmacological knowledge. There is no deception in Duanmu Rong's advice.

Originally, if it was cooked immediately when the Duanmu was brought out in the morning, it would be just right to drink after lunch.

But based on his observation, the can of soup has been simmering for at least two hours now, and it won't take much longer.

Sitting on a small chair next to the medicine jar, the hall master read a book and continued to wait quietly.

This time, another hour passed.
