Chapter 16 City Lord’s Mansion
"There is no need to go so far to avoid a fine." Zhiyuan picked up the tea cup again and said in a calm tone: "In short, the City Lord's Mansion does not plan to give you any punishment at the moment, but in return for helping you hide this matter, I would like to
I want to ask you to help me with something."
"What? So you want to ask me to do something!"
Bai Ruo's eyes suddenly shone, and the humiliation he had felt just now was swept away. He gracefully leaned back on the chair, swaying the teacup in his hand and smelling the aroma of the tea. His attitude changed completely.
She said casually: "General Zhiyuan told you earlier, it made me nervous. Tell me, what is the trouble?"
Zhiyuan suddenly felt a headache, but he had no choice. This trip was entrusted by the prince, and he had to convince Bai Ruo to go there no matter what. He had no choice but to put aside his status as a general, and spoke with a tone as if he was chatting with Bai Ruo in the hospital.
Feeling helpless, he said straight to the point: "I want to ask you to treat someone."
"It's not that I'm being modest. You have to go to Duo'er to treat illnesses and people. My medical skills are not as good as hers."
"I would naturally go to see her for an ordinary illness, but this illness is unusual."
"Oh?" Bai Ruo became interested: "Tell me in detail."
"Do you believe in ghosts and gods?"
"Of course, I am."
"ah?"
Bai Ruo is a max-level player of "Becoming an Immortal 2077". According to the settings in the game, she is indeed considered an immortal. But she can't tell Zhiyuan about this, so she quickly explained for her momentary arrogance: "I am
Duo’er’s patron saint~”
I don't know if it was because Bai Ruo was off-line too much, but Zhiyuan didn't suspect it. He just thought she was joking and continued: "Prince Lin Duan, who I have mentioned to you several times, has a son who is only sixteen years old.
The little girl suddenly contracted a strange disease when she was thirteen years old. From then on, she was often confused, talking nonsense, and seemed to be haunted by evil spirits. The prince invited many famous doctors, Taoist priests, and experts, but in the end they were helpless.
"
"Miss Bai knows magic, has saved many lives in the city, and has the ability to bring the dead back to life..."
"Stop it!" Bai Ruo interrupted him quickly: "You can eat as much as you want, but you can't talk carelessly. When did I have the ability to come back from the dead? If you tell me nonsense, it will bring me big trouble."
Bai Ruo was right in saying that, but in fact she knew the resurrection spell. It was still the top resurrection spell: Immortal Spell - Resurrection from the Dead, which can completely resurrect people or pets who have died within a certain time limit without penalty. But
Unfortunately, this trick cannot be effective on ordinary people.
In the game settings, only people over level 30 can be resurrected.
Otherwise, the tragedy in Wangjiacun would not have happened.
"Anyway, please girl, come with me." Zhiyuan solemnly requested.
Bai Ruo had no suitable reason for rejection. He had received a lot of care from them before, so he decided to go there.
But before that, she had to show her attitude a little bit.
Bai Ruo stood up, patted her skirt, stuffed all the uneaten pastries into the basket, and handed them to Zhiyuan.
"Seeing as you have tried so many medicines for us, I will go ahead. Please ask your men to make a trip to deliver these pastries to the hospital." Bai Ruo said with a smile.
But Zhiyuan didn't take the basket, he just sat there, frowning and looking at Bai Ruo.
Bai Ruo smiled brightly and continued: "Aren't you going to take me to the City Lord's Mansion? It will get dark soon. Let's ask the guy standing under the window next to us to take me there. He looks very agile.
. But it’s best to stop him from running too fast, otherwise if he is injured by the dagger hidden in his left calf - it will not be good.”
Bai Ruo said the next five words word by word.
There was no trace of malice on her face, but Zhiyuan felt that these ordinary words were so harsh that even the air became stagnant, and his complexion instantly turned pale.
Bai Ruo was showing him his strength.
At first, in order to lower Bai Ruo's vigilance, Zhiyuan said that he came alone. But in fact, he brought two capable men with him. One of them was guarding under the window next to them.
And Bai Ruo can clearly know the details downstairs just by sitting here. She can easily see through even the details that Zhiyuan doesn't know. This kind of strength is beyond Zhiyuan's understanding. Although he has long noticed that Bai Ruo
If she were not an ordinary person, she would never have thought that her strength was so unfathomable.
Zhiyuan didn't want to offend Bai Ruo, so he prepared manpower just in case, but he deceived Bai Ruo after all.
Seeing that Zhiyuan's face was really ugly, Bai Ruo hurriedly helped him get off the stairs. She walked to Zhiyuan and said softly: "I don't mean anything else, I just want to say that the Bai Family Medical Clinic always repays kindness.
.Be good to us and we will do better to them.”
There is another part to this sentence: On the contrary, please refer to the three corpses.
But with Zhiyuan's IQ, he could understand it without saying the ugly second part of the sentence.
Bai Ruo learned what she learned from Duo'er and put it into practice, and the results so far seem to be outstanding. She doesn't want to have a tense relationship with the City Lord's Mansion, but she also doesn't want to be guarded by them all the time. She just wants to be honest and tell the truth, and everyone can get what they need.
Zhiyuan understood what she meant, stood up slowly, reached out to take the basket, sighed and said: "Miss Bai is really secretive. I let you live in the city in the first place. I don't know whether it will be a blessing or a curse in the future."
Bai Ruo patted his shoulder generously and said, "Don't worry, at least it's definitely a blessing for now. With Duo'er here, I will keep my rules no matter how crazy I am."
Bai Ruo has perfectly learned how to give hints to others.
The central area of Huangshi Town is where the city lord's palace is located. The bright red architectural design is particularly eye-catching in the city. People with good eyesight can see the gorgeous red building at a glance when entering from the city gate.
Among the all-white, black and gray buildings, only this red building stands out from the crowd. The building has a square tower structure, with a total of eight floors, which is much higher than the surrounding buildings. The floors are divided into three, three, and two.
Designed in a cake-like form, the three bottom floors are the largest, followed by the middle ones, and the top two floors are only slightly larger than an ordinary room.
On the fourth and seventh floors, because the area of the upper floors has become smaller, there is remaining space for a circular corridor. Standing there, you can see the scenery of the entire town.
The red wooden railings in the corridor still feel good despite being exposed to wind and sun. The special paint on them gives the hand a cold jade texture.
"Isn't this paint cheap?" Bai Ruo asked Zhiyuan next to him.
He said he was bringing Bai Ruo here to treat people, but he was looking at the scenery here. They had been waiting for a long time.
"It's not as expensive as you think. We are rich in ores here. This is made from one of the red ores combined with tree oil. The cost is not high, but it is prohibited for ordinary people to use it, so it cannot be seen in ordinary places."
"Tsk, you can only keep such a good thing for yourself."
"It's a status symbol."
"Identity? What identity? Aren't they all human?" Bai Ruo spread his hands and made a disdainful gesture.
Zhiyuan was surprised by Bai Ruo's bold statement, but he just looked at Bai Ruo a few more times and said nothing.
