Chapter Ten: Gong Sun Treats the Brocade Mouse

  Liu and others followed Zhan Zhao to hurry to the Kaifeng Prefecture Government Office. When they arrived at the gate of the Kaifeng Prefecture Government Office, Zhan Zhao directly kicked one foot heavily on the main gate of the government office and shouted, "Hurry up and come out, you two!"

  Two people rushed out of the yamen at night, and upon seeing Xian Zhao holding someone in his arms, they were taken aback. Before they could ask anything, Xian Zhao shouted urgently and hastily, "Quickly lead the people outside into Kaifeng Prefecture through the back door, arrange a room for them, and have them wait there. Hurry up!"

  Then, with a burst of internal energy, his body flashed and shot in like an arrow off the string. He shouted loudly, "Mr. Gong Sun, come quickly to save someone! Brother Bai is no longer good!"

  The Kaifeng Prefecture was thrown into an instant uproar!

  Gongsun Ce suddenly heard Zhan Zhao's shout and had just stood up from his own room. He only heard a loud noise, and the door of the study was kicked open by someone. A figure rushed in with another person in their arms and put the person on the bed. Gongsun Ce's eyes focused, and he saw that it was Zhan Zhao who had come!

  "Gongsun sir, hurry up and save him!" Zhan Zhao put Bai Yutang on the bed and directly shouted at Gongsun Ce.

  Gongsun Ce's eyes widened in shock, and he hastily stepped forward to grasp Bai Yutang's wrist, feeling his pulse for a moment before furrowing his brow in silence. Zhan Zhao was startled in his heart, and saw that Gongsun Ce's eyebrows had almost become two knots!

  Gongsun Ce suddenly made his move and stripped off Bai Yutang's clothes. Xian Zhao focused her eyes to take a look, and her eyes slowly widened as four words clearly appeared on her face: "stunned and speechless".

  Bai Yutang's back and arms were covered with dense, shallow wounds of varying depths. The injuries weren't severe, merely flesh wounds, but they were densely packed and clearly hadn't been properly treated. Several wounds still seeped blood and water, making for a shocking sight. Zhan Zhao stared, his breathing slightly irregular, "Bai Yutang, what the hell happened to you? Did you go fight dinosaurs or something?"

  "It's just a superficial wound, nothing serious. With a few days of rest, it'll heal itself!" Gong Sun Ce said calmly.

  Zhan Zhao let out a sigh of relief, "White Haotzi, hurry up and get better soon! We still need you to teach us martial arts. Nothing's wrong is the best, the best!"

  "But... " Gong Sun Ce's eyebrows furrowed tightly, "The injury has penetrated to the heart meridian, and there is stagnant blood in the heart. If it is not nursed properly, there will be concerns for his life."

  Zhan Zhao's heart skipped a beat, his fingers clenched tightly, "I'm troubling Mr. Gongsun!"

  Gongsun Ce shook his head, "This problem isn't difficult, as long as I give Bai Shaoye a few doses of medicine to regulate his qi and nourish his heart, he'll be fine in ten days or half a month!"

  "But the most important point is not here!" Gong Sun Ce said again.

  Zhan Zhao had just breathed a sigh of relief when he was shocked again. He thought to himself, "You, Gong Sun Zan, can't you say everything at once?"

  "Bai Yutang's body contains severe poison, and after being poisoned, he still forcibly stimulated his internal energy, causing the poison to enter his organs and merge with his blood. This is a poison that even I have never seen before." Gong Sun Ce furrowed his brow and said, "Now, the only way is for me to use the Nine-Hole Flying Needle to slowly extract the toxins from Bai Shaoye's body, then use an antidote to dilute the toxins in his blood!"

  "However, it may take a little longer, maybe ten days or half a month to recover!" Gong Sun Ce stroked his beard, and his phoenix eyes shot out a sharp light. "But what I really want to know is who exactly made Bai Yutang so seriously injured that the toxin completely penetrated from the wound, which means that this person, no, this group of people, hurt Bai Yutang and caused him to be poisoned!"

  "Bai Yutang's martial arts skills are already among the top five in Jianghu, even if he can't win, retreating with his whole body is also easy for him. But why did Bai Yutang end up like this?!" Gong Sun Ce frowned and said.

  Zhan Zhao furrowed his brow and remained silent. Suddenly, the sound of hurried footsteps echoed, and Zhan Zhao and Gong Sun Ce turned their heads simultaneously to find that it was Bao Da coming!

  "Zhan Hu Wei, Gong Sun Xiansheng, how is Bao Xiao's injury?" Judge Bao asked directly.

  "Gongsun Ce said calmly, 'Sir, don't worry too much, Bai Shaoye's life is not in danger.'"

  "Alright, let's get started on treating Bai Xiaoxiao's injuries!" Gong Sun Ce nodded and turned around to walk into the storage room, took out a box, poured out a pill, and fed it into Bai Yutang's mouth. "This is a Heart-Calming Qi-Regulating Pill."

  Then he grabbed another medicine bottle, pulled out the stopper, and directly poured it onto Bai Yutang's body, while constantly rubbing his hands. Zhan Zhao secretly sighed, isn't this just applying medicine like this? Aren't you afraid of infection?

  Several rolls of bandages were found and wrapped around Bai Yutang's entire body.

  "Protect the guard, don't talk nonsense, White Little Hero, get up! I'm going to use the Nine Hole Flying Needle!" Gong Sun Ce suddenly said.

  Zhan Zhao hastily came forward, helped Bai Yutang up, and glanced at Gong Sun Ce. He couldn't help but think, "Why do you still need to wrap a bandage after administering the needle? Does it really have a better therapeutic effect this way?"

  As Gong Sun Ce took a step forward, he pulled out a bundle of cloth from his bosom and untied the ribbon. In an instant, the room was filled with dazzling light. The bundle unfolded to reveal a long brocade bag over three feet in length, densely packed with glittering silver needles. He drew out three needles and inserted them into Bai Yu Tang's neck and ear holes. His eyes shone brightly as he waved his hands over the needle pouch, and several more silver needles appeared between his fingers. His sleeves fluttered like a butterfly dancing among flowers, and his hands moved swiftly and randomly, unleashing the Nine-Hole Flying Needle technique with the same elegance as a master swordsmanship, leaving onlookers breathless and amazed!

  After a long time, Bai Yutang's face was covered in sweat, with white smoke rising from his head, his complexion changing from ruddy to pale and then back to ruddy again. Gong Sun Ce suddenly withdrew the needle, throwing all the silver needles to the ground, only to see that they had already turned black, clearly having been tainted with a deadly poison!

  Zhan Zhao didn't notice, he just stared blankly at the white smoke on top of Bai Yutang's head, thinking to himself, "This shouldn't be what they call internal energy, right? I remember when I watched TV dramas in my past life, it was always others who helped people heal their injuries and had this kind of phenomenon appear. But why did this White Wastrel have this happen while he was being healed?"

  Gongsun Ce let out a long sigh of relief. "Xian Hu Wei, put down Bai Xiaosheng! Bai Xiaosheng is no longer in danger!"

  Zhan Zhao nodded in agreement and put down Bai Yutang. He bowed his head to Bao Chen and said, "Sir, the matter of Bai Yutang's injury is not trivial. I have a feeling that there is some sort of conspiracy involved. Please dispatch some constables to guard this place. When Brother Bai wakes up, perhaps he will be able to clear up some doubts. Moreover, maybe something else will happen!"

  Bao Zheng smiled slightly and said, "Your words are reasonable, this court will definitely handle it carefully!"

  "Let's take a break and rest first!" Bao Zheng smiled, "Since Bai Xiaosheng is unharmed, we won't disturb him further. Tomorrow, we still have to make a verdict on Liu Shichang's case!"

  Zhan Zhao nodded slightly, glanced at Bai Yutang on the bed, and his eyebrows twitched as a bad premonition surged up from his heart, as if something big was about to happen!

  "Dismissed!" Zhan Zhao nodded and bid farewell, returning to his own room!
