Chapter 12
"You want to be a sitting doctor?" Du Changqing's eyes widened, "Miss Lu, are you kidding me?"

Lu Tong looked at him calmly.

Du Changqing took a sip of tea, and then spoke again after a while: "Miss Lu, the doctors here are not just talking. Since you have inquired about it, you should also have seen that most of the doctors here are elderly men. You are a young girl..."

Lu Tong picked up the tea bowl in front of him and looked at the broken leaves floating in the tea bowl.

Since ancient times, doctors have become more popular as they get older. Younger doctors are often criticized for not being good enough in medical skills. They always have to wait until their hair turns gray before they can gradually build up their reputation.

Seeing that Lu Tong remained silent, Du Changqing persuaded her earnestly: "Miss Lu, I have lived in Shengjing since I was a child. To put it bluntly, a beautiful girl like you shouldn't have to suffer much, let alone be in the public eye. You If my family saw it, they would be so distressed."

Lu Tong's eyes moved slightly when he heard the word "family".

Du Changqing didn't notice her expression and continued to talk: "Just give me the medicinal tea and I'll pay you the money and it will all be sold on consignment, okay?"

Lu Tong: "Renxin Medical Center is a medical center, not a pharmacy."

"It's almost the same as a drug store."

Lu Tong put down the tea bowl and looked at Du Changqing: "Master Du, do you doubt that I have the ability to practice medicine, and are you afraid that you will cause trouble for your medical clinic?"

Du Changqing paused as if his secret thoughts were touched.

"If you don't believe me, you can go to the medical clinic to look for symptoms to test me." Lu Tong said: "Shengjing has more than one medical clinic. Mr. Du is not willing to do this business, so forget it." She threw it down lightly. After saying this, he stood up and didn't want to talk to Du Changqing any more.

"and many more--"

Du Changqing shouted loudly.

Lu Tong turned around and looked at him.

He stared at Lu Tong for a long time, and finally gave up with gritted teeth and said: "Doctor Lu, this is the first time that Du has seen a girl like you who has noble aspirations and is dedicated to helping the world."

"I said it first." He said angrily: "You sit alone, I don't care whether others buy it or not."

"You don't have to worry about it, Mr. Du." Lu Tong nodded to him: "I will take care of it."

Now that it's been discussed, the next thing will be much easier to handle.

Du Changqing wanted to go back first to help Lu Tong and the others find a place to stay, and Lu Tong also planned to go back to the inn to pack their luggage.Du Changqing paid for the tea, and the three of them walked side by side in the direction of Lai Yi Inn.

The long street is bustling, with cars and horses constantly coming and going. A few dozen steps further, there is a jewelry store, Baoxianglou.Female relatives often choose jewelry here.

Lu Tong and Du Changqing had just arrived downstairs at Baoxiang when the sound of horse hooves suddenly sounded in front of them.Lu Tong raised his eyes and saw a carriage rushing towards him.

The driver of the carriage did not give way to pedestrians at all, and the horse almost hit Yin Zheng. Lu Tong quickly pulled Yin Zheng to save her.Before Yin Zheng could speak, the coachman yelled and cursed: "Where are you from? Don't you have eyes?"

Yin Zheng was upset and was about to make a few excuses when Du Changqing grabbed Yin Zheng and whispered, "Don't scold, that's the carriage from the Grand Master's residence."

When Lu Tong heard this, his heart moved. He turned his head and asked Du Changqing: "The Grand Master's Mansion you are talking about is the Grand Master Qi's Mansion?"

Du Changqing was a little surprised: "You also know the reputation of Taishi Mansion?"

Lu Tong said nothing and looked a little gloomy.

At the other end, the curtain of the carriage was opened, and someone got out of the carriage.

She was a young lady wearing a curtain hat. She was wearing a smoky-colored silk acacia flower skirt that made her figure extraordinarily light. She was helped out of the carriage by a maid, revealing the exquisite magnolia embroidery on her embroidered shoes.

She walked very carefully, and even though she couldn't see her face, she still made people feel charming.

For such a beautiful young lady, the guards around her were tall and fierce. They only shouted loudly to expel the people around her, so that the master could enter Baoxiang Tower unimpeded.

Du Changqing snorted: "These powerful people..." He didn't dare to say any more.

Lu Tong was looking at the young lady from the Grand Master's family when she suddenly smelled a very light smell of blood on the tip of her nose.Before any warning could be given, suddenly, from the end of the long street, there was the sound of hooves of soldiers and horses chasing each other, accompanied by screams and shouts all the way. "Get out of the way! The officers are arresting you!"

"Murder—"

"Leave far away!"

Along the way, a street vendor's tea stall was overturned, and soldiers and horses rampaged on the street.Lu Tong secretly thought that something was not right. He subconsciously pulled out the velvet flower from his hair and held it in his palm. He grabbed the silver zheng and tried to retreat to the nearby shop. Suddenly, he saw a strong wind in front of him, and a figure swept towards him, accompanied by a strong sound. The smell of blood.

The man didn't even look at Lu Tong and rushed towards the young lady of the Grand Master's Mansion. He was about to catch the Grand Master's daughter who was so frightened that her face turned pale. The guard beside her suddenly glanced at Lu Tong. The next moment, Lu Tong Hitomi felt her arm being grabbed, and her body being pushed forward violently, until she was pushed in front of the man in black.

"Girl-" Yin Zheng exclaimed.

There was a moment of silence all around.

When the guard saw that someone had become the scapegoat, he retreated into Baoxiang Tower with his young lady without hesitation.Lu Tong felt the tip of a knife being pressed against his neck, and someone was strangling his shoulders, trying to escape to the other side of the street.

However, his plan failed.

On the other side of the street, a large number of people had arrived, surrounding this man and Lu Tong from front to back.

This man is at the end of his rope and at the end of his rope.

Lu Tong was held tightly by him. She turned her head slightly and vaguely saw the man's profile.

He was a middle-aged man in his forties, his face was covered in blood, and his expression was ferocious and panicked.Lu Tong felt that the opponent's hand holding the tip of the knife was trembling slightly, and his voice was also trembling. With the madness of terminal desperation, he rushed to the officers and soldiers in front and said: "Get out of the way! Otherwise I will kill her!"

The leader of the officers and soldiers was a man in official uniform, with green satin soap boots and high cheekbones. He was sitting on a big horse and spoke condescendingly: "Sinner Lu Dashan, don't fight to the death, or we will be captured quickly!"

When the man named Lu Dashan heard this, he let out a "poof", with a look that seemed to be crying and laughing, and said loudly: "What kind of sinner? Who the hell is a sinner? The army and horses guard the thieves, but let me take the blame and dream!" He held his hand The hand holding the knife tightly said, "Stop talking nonsense, get out of the way quickly, or I will chop her up now!"

The leader of the officers and soldiers narrowed his eyes and said nothing.

The people all around have dispersed and are far away from here.Lu Tong watched helplessly as the officers and soldiers with quivers on their backs drew long arrows towards him and placed them on the bowstrings, and couldn't help but feel a sinking feeling in his heart.

This change was also noticed by Lu Dashan. His expression became more and more nervous, and he pressed down hard on the tip of the knife on Lu Tong's neck, and a trace of blood slowly flowed down the jade neck.

Yin Zheng panicked: "Girl!"

"It's useless." Du Changqing grabbed Yin Zheng who was about to move forward, his eyes full of horror and fear, "That's the Soldier and Horse Division patrolling Lei Yuan. This person is greedy for success and never puts the lives of ordinary people in his eyes. .I’m afraid that there will be such a huge battle to pursue that Lu Dashan.”

I am afraid that Lei Yuan will not let Lu Dashan go because Lu Tong alone is in danger.

Lu Tong also realized this, and his heart gradually started beating wildly.

Lu Dashan shouted with a trembling voice: "Get out of my way!"

Lei Yuan looked at him with a half-hearted smile and waved his hand slightly behind him.Lu Tong saw an archer not far away from him slowly pulling his bow and arrow.

She felt a sudden chill in her heart. At this moment, she was held by Lu Dashan and blocked in front of him, like a human shield for Lu Dashan. No matter how skilled the other archer was, an arrow would only shoot through her and Lu Dashan together!
She doesn't want to die here for no reason!
Thinking of this, Lu Tong calmly clenched the velvet flowers in his hands.She had plucked this velvet flower just now downstairs in Baoxiang and had been holding it in her hand.

Lu Dashan focused all his attention on Lei Yuan and his party, and did not pay attention to Lu Tong. After all, she seemed to be just a weak woman with no strength.

The archer behind Lei Yuan has already tightened his bow and arrow, and is about to shoot an arrow as soon as Lei Yuan gives the order.

At this moment, Lu Tong suddenly raised his hand, and Lu Dashan was caught off guard and was forced to take two steps back.However, the hand holding her shoulder did not let go.

The next moment, the velvet flower needle in Lu Tong's hand viciously stabbed Lu Dashan's left eye!

There was an exclamation from behind.
