Chapter 16 News
As night fell, Gu Xuan's limbs ached and his clothes were washed out, so he asked his servants to cook.
Three large barrels of medicinal soup have been prepared in the bathroom, including special medicinal ingredients purchased by the twin sisters.
This medicinal soup can cure muscle strains after high-intensity training and is specially prepared for monks in the giant strength realm.
Gu Xuan brewed a bucket by himself, twin brothers brewed together in a bucket, and twin sisters brewed together in a bucket.
If it were Ximen Shu, I'm afraid he would be playing in the water with his twin sisters.
Gu Xuan disdained this and separated the three bathtubs with screens.
Soaking comfortably in the medicinal soup, with the pores all over his body opening, Gu Xuan felt extremely comfortable.
It was the first time for the servants on both sides to take a bath in medicinal soup. In addition to being excited, they were also moved.
They have always been servants, and the best treatment they received in the past was eating at the same table as Ximen Shu, which made other servants envious.
Shuxiangyuan has a lot of Ximen Shu's money, and the bathing medicinal materials are not secret medicines and can be purchased outside. If the elixirs were not in limited supply, Gu Xuan would even be willing to pay for the elixirs.
The higher the personal servant's cultivation level, the more useful he will be.
While soaking in the bathtub, Chu Ke looked at the screen engraved with plum blossoms, orchids, bamboos and chrysanthemums, and lowered his voice and said, "This screen looks really annoying. Does the young master dislike us?"
Chu Lian's delicate body was half exposed, her fragrance was pleasant, and she said in a voice like a mosquito: "Before you practice your inner strength, it is a taboo to break the body of a boy. Don't harm the young master."
"What Chu Lian said was shocking and enlightening. Chu Ke must remember it."
Gu Xuan's voice came. He was sitting in the medicinal soup, with only his head exposed and resting his head on the edge of the tub.
The twin sisters used to sleep with Ximen Shu, but Gu Xuan only wanted to cultivate and take revenge.
"My slave knows."
Chu Ke spat out her delicious tongue, made a splash, held up the soup with both hands, and poured it on Chu Lian's delicate body.
"Stop making trouble." Chu Lian scolded, "Young master wants to talk about business."
Gu Xuan asked: "What's the news from Hao Guo?"
Chu Lian said softly: "Hao Guo met Aunt Liu by chance at the door of the Huichun Medicine Store in the afternoon. She said that he was kicked out of the villa and was penniless. He wanted to use a piece of news about Ximen Hao to exchange two gold leaves with the young master."
Gu Xuan thought thoughtfully: "Hao Guo goes to the pharmacy to buy medicine?"
"According to Aunt Liu, Hao Guo was carrying three bags of medicinal materials, his face was pale, and he seemed to have suffered internal injuries." Chu Lian added, "Hao Guo will wait at Fulai Inn all night."
Chu Ke hummed: "Hao Guo said he is penniless and has money to buy medicine. Hao Guo has bad intentions and clearly wants to murder the young master."
"What Chu Ke said makes sense." Xun Dong answered, "You also need some silver to stay in an inn."
Xun Xi analyzed: "Hao Guo needs to cook medicine, so he must have another residence in Si'an City."
"Hao Guo was kicked out of the villa yesterday." Chu Lian provided the information, "When he left, his face was haggard, his hands were covering his lower abdomen, his steps were staggering, and he did not carry any packages."
Gu Xuan looked at the screen: "What do you think of Chu Lian?"
"We met by chance. We met at the inn. The young master is carrying the jade pendant of the ancestors, which is scary. It doesn't look like a trap." Chu Lian had already thought about it. "The news worth two gold leaves is probably a handle against Ximen Hao. It's worth a trip.
."
"Then go and meet him." Gu Xuan sneered, "If it's really a cruel trick, we can't take Ximen Hao lightly."
…
The meals prepared by the servants were Ximen Shu's favorite taste in the past. Fortunately, Gu Xuan was not picky about food.
The food on the table was quite rich, and Gu Xuan devoured it with both meat and vegetables. It was like a wind and a lingering cloud, which made Chu Lian feel sad for a while.
Compared with before, Gu Xuan's food intake now has increased several times.
Wang Mang analyzed that this is related to the physical changes of Gu Xuan. Increased food intake and reasonable absorption can increase strength and be beneficial to cultivation.
The delicious dinner ended quickly, and Gu Xuan swept away a full 50% of the food.
After taking a short rest, Gu Xuan and four servants put on their smart clothes and left in a carriage from the side entrance of the villa.
…
Fulai Inn is located in the busy city of Si'an City. A waiter brought Gu Xuan and his servant to a guest room.
Gu Xuan winked, and Xun Xi stepped forward to knock on the door. He knocked three times, paused briefly, and then knocked twice.
With a creak, the door was half-opened. Hao Guo saw Gu Xuan at a glance and said expressionlessly: "You are here, come in."
The innkeeper heard this and left with peace of mind.
When the footsteps of the waiter could no longer be heard, Gu Xuan ordered: "Gou Dongxi, stay outside the door."
Hao Guo stepped back step by step, holding a dagger in his right hand, but the blade was pressed against his chest.
After entering the house, Chu Lian closed the door. Chu Ke looked at Hao Guo and said in disbelief: "Hao Guo, what are you doing? Suicide?"
Gu Xuan first looked at the layout of the guest room, and then looked at Hao Guo, who was indeed injured.
Hao Guo ignored Chu Ke and just stared at Gu Xuan: "Master Shu is here for news?"
"Exactly." Gu Xuan sat on the chair, "Don't be nervous. If the news is valuable, I will give you three gold leaves. I will not lie."
"Now that I am alone, I have to use a jade pendant to even buy medicine. I have to be careful." Hao Guo looked determined, "If Master Shu tries to use force to coerce him into getting the news, I will commit suicide immediately. Master Shu also has to swear an oath to his inner demons. , after getting the news, he will never harm me."
Once you violate the oath of inner demons, inner demons will arise during cultivation, which will lead to all your previous efforts in cultivation being wasted.
Gu Xuan was noncommittal: "Then how can you guarantee that you will not reveal the news to the second person?"
Hao Guo was stunned for a moment, obviously not thinking carefully, and couldn't help but frown in thought.
Gu Xuan chuckled: "You can't guarantee it at all, and I don't need to swear an oath. If a third party gets the news, I don't need to take action. As long as I tell Ximen Hao, your life will be in danger."
Hao Guo thought for a moment and then put down his dagger in despair: "According to what Master Shu said, Ximen Hao has a Spirit-Calling Pill in his storage bag!"
"Huh?" Gu Xuan's expression changed, "How did Ximen Hao get the Spirit-Calling Pill?"
"Ximen Hao once made a mistake while drunk, and I learned that he had a summoning elixir, which he obtained during his training. I don't know the details." After Hao Guo finished speaking, he looked at Gu Xuan eagerly.
"I made a blunder after drinking. I didn't see it with my own eyes. The authenticity of the Spirit Summoning Pill is unknown. Even if Ximen Hao has the Spirit Summoning Pill, it's his chance. What does it have to do with this young master?" Gu Xuan stood up and said, "Chu Ke, a gold leaf. "
Chu Ke took out a gold leaf and threw it on the table casually.
Hao Guo frowned and begged: "Master Shu, can two gold leaves be enough?"
"If the human heart is not enough, then you can do it yourself." Gu Xuan warned implicitly. He glanced at Hao Guo one last time and turned to leave.
Staring at the golden leaves blankly, Hao Guo sighed and regretted endlessly. He had known this, why did he do it in the first place.
After leaving Fulai Inn, Chu Ke asked: "Master..."
Gu Xuan waved his hand to interrupt: "This matter must not be spread to outsiders. I know this well."
"Please remember this, slave." Chu Ke lowered his head, feeling unhappy.
The night is vast, the lights are on, the streets are crowded with people, there are many shops, and the noise is endless.
