Chapter 810: The Assassin at the Late Night
The next day, Song Shuwen came to the clinic again.
The bleak result of yesterday's admission of apprentices made him unable to sleep all night. After careful consideration, he decided to let go of some of the persistence in his heart and lower the standards for admission of apprentices.
Those who were scared away by his high standards left so simply. He thought that after lowering the standards, many people would come, but reality poured him a basin of cold water.
It was not until noon that a few timid faces appeared in front of the clinic.
There is curiosity and desire in their eyes, but more of hesitation and fear.
Song Shuwen smiled bitterly in his heart. He knew that after yesterday, he had become a strict "demon" in the eyes of these people.
"Are you guys here to become disciples?" Song Shuwen tried to make his voice gentler.
A few people looked at me, and I looked at you. The last brave boy stood up: "Sir, we want to give it a try."
Song Shuwen nodded. He could see the firmness in the eyes of these children. Perhaps, he could really find a suitable apprentice from them.
The clinic was filled with the aroma of herbs, and Song Shuwen began a new round of tests. His eyes glanced at every child, looking forward to discovering that unique light.
This time, the admission of apprentices must be successful. He secretly swears that the clinic needs fresh blood and needs people who inherit his legacy.
After this day, Song Shuwen finally breathed a sigh of relief. After repeated screening, he finally got five apprentices.
He looked at the five energetic young men in front of him with a serious expression and said solemnly: "From now on, you can no longer use your real names, just call them the eldest, the second, the third, the fourth, and the fifth in order."
The five young men were stunned at first, then nodded in response.
These five people are about the same age.
After Song Shuwen left the clinic, he went straight back to the Prime Minister's Mansion and went straight to the hall where Xi Yu was. He informed Xi Yu of the admission of the disciples in all aspects, and brought the five newly admitted disciples over to ask them to pay homage to Xi Yu.
Xi Yu looked up at the five people, with a faint smile on his face, waved his hand and said, "You think it's good to take disciples, and there's no need to bring them to see me."
But the five people didn't think so. They were full of joy and their faces were filled with excitement.
After all, Prime Minister Xi Yu is well-known. They have no chance to see him so close on weekdays. At this moment, they feel extremely honored and very happy when they stand in front of them.
Finally, Song Shuwen brought five apprentices to the hotel. This place had been temporarily transformed into a study place by him, and various medical books and herbal samples were placed in the house.
Song Shuwen stood in front of his apprentices and said with a serious expression: "From now on, let's start learning. You must know that I am an extremely rigorous person and I cannot tolerate any carelessness in studying medicine. If you want to learn real skills, you must do your best and study hard. The medical science is long, and only diligence can help you go further on this road."
After hearing this, the apprentices all focused on it.
Xi Yu was sitting in the study, and his thoughts were flowing, and suddenly he thought of Dongfang Hong. The scene of Dongfang Hong being hurt for himself appeared in his mind, and a complex feeling surged in his heart, both grateful and heartache.
He immediately decided to visit Dongfang Hong, just like he had someone to prepare some eggs in his previous life.
When night fell and the lights were on, Xi Yu took the basket filled with eggs and stood up and walked towards Youzhou College.
As he arrived at the college, he went straight towards Dongfanghong's dormitory with familiarity.
The college shrouded in the night was a bit quiet.
Dongfang Hong was sitting at the table in the dormitory, immersed in the world of books, the candlelight swaying, illuminating her side face softer.
Suddenly, she heard the knock on the door. She looked up and saw Xi Yu standing outside the door as soon as she opened the door. She was shocked and happy and hurriedly got up to greet her.
"Xi Yu, why are you here?" Dongfang Hong asked with a smile, his eyes full of surprise and joy.
Xi Yu walked into the house with a smile and handed over the food box containing the eggs in his hand: "I thought you were injured, so I brought some eggs to see you."
Dongfang Hong looked at the food box and was stunned at first, then couldn't help laughing.
Because this is after all, it is a way to see patients with forward vision.
The dignified prime minister can see him in this way, which makes him feel refreshed.
Xi Yu looked at Dongfang Hong, as if he could see what he thought in his heart, and said softly: "I, now I want to relive the things in my previous life. After all, you and Wenxuan have traveled through time, and this friendship between us is really rare."
When Dongfang Hong heard this, her eyes lit up and she responded with a smile: "Since that's the case, then I'll make some wine now. Let's drink together and talk about the past."
Xi Yu was stunned at first, then burst into laughter.
"I'm here to see you, and I've asked you to drink some wine. How can I be so embarrassed?"
Dongfang Hong pretended to be angry and said, "What are you saying? Why are you polite to me?"
After the words came, the two of them looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.
At this time, Wenxuan was walking leisurely in the yard, and suddenly heard bursts of laughter and joy coming from Dongfanghong dormitory. He was curious and walked towards him.
When he arrived at the door, Wenxuan knocked on the door gently. When the door opened, Xi Yu saw that it was him and explained with a smile: "Wenxuan, Dongfang Hong was a little hurt to help me before, and I felt sorry for him. Why don't you come and see him?"
Dongfang Hong looked at Wenxuan, and her eyes seemed to have lost the strong feelings as strong as before, and she seemed quite dull. She just said politely: "Since you are here, let's chat here for a while. I'll go out to get some wine and let's have some drinks together."
After saying that, without waiting for Wenxuan to respond, he raised his foot and walked out, leaving Wenxuan and Xi Yu in the room.
Xi Yu then told Wenxuan in detail what happened at the bun shop that day.
Wenxuan knew that store, and thought to himself that it was a black store, but he really didn't expect it to be related to Dongfanghong.
Soon, Dongfang Hong came back with wine and warmly greeted the two of them to drink together.
Ke Wenxuan refused and said, "I won't drink it anymore, there are still some things I have to deal with."
After saying that, he got up and left.
The two of them didn't force her.
But in Xi Yu's opinion, it would be a perfect thing if she stayed there too.
That night, the moonlight shone through the windows in the house, reflecting the figures of Dongfang Hong and Xi Yu.
The two of you drink one cup and one cup, the more you drink it, the more you feel, the more you feel, and laughter echoes in the small dormitory.
Gradually, the drunkenness became more and more confused, and the wine glass in their hands became unwilling.
After a long time, they could not resist the strong drunkenness. They tilted their bodies and fell directly on the table. The wine glass on the table fell aside, and the remaining wine slowly flowed down, as if they were witnessing this refreshing and friendly gathering.
Just as the two were drunk, suddenly, a black shadow fell silently like a ghost in Youzhou College.
It was a mysterious knight. He was using his wonderful light skills and his body was lightly shuttled between the college's houses, as light and silent as if a fallen leaf.
He was wearing a night-mounted dress, wrapped tightly, with only a pair of sharp eyes outside, flashing cold light under the moonlight, exuding a mysterious and dangerous aura.
He was still holding a sword tightly in his hand, and the patterns on the scabbard were looming in the glimmer of light.
The knight was very fast and soon arrived at the door of Dongfanghong's dormitory.
He looked up and saw the door half-closed, and a little drunken smell of alcohol came from the room.
He frowned slightly, stood at the door and hesitated for a moment, then slowly raised his foot and walked into the house.
The man glanced inside the room and instantly recognized Dongfang Hong. A sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, and a cold chill in his eyes.
Immediately afterwards, he walked inside without hesitation, with a sense of unquestionable oppression.
Soon, he stood in front of Dongfang Hong, and without saying a word, he suddenly put the sword in his hand on Dongfang Hong's neck.
The cold touch made Dongfang Hong shudder, and most of the wine instantly dissipated.
He widened his eyes and shouted, "Who are you?"
The voice was particularly loud in the quiet room, and Jae Yu was awakened.
Xi Yu was still a little confused, but when he saw the tense scene in front of him, his drunkenness disappeared all of a sudden. He hurriedly looked at the mysterious man with vigilance, ready to deal with this sudden situation.
Xi Yu really didn't expect someone to attack Dongfang Hong. In his impression, Dongfang Hong has always been kind and seems to have never offended anyone.
The secret guards were nearby at this moment, but they were not sure whether the mysterious man suddenly appeared was Xi Yu himself or Dongfang Hong.
After all, their main responsibility is to protect Xi Yu. Strictly speaking, there is no obligation to protect Dongfang Hong, so he did not dare to act rashly for a while. He could only wait in the dark and wait for the right time before taking action.
The man's eyes were cold, and the sword in his hand pointed steadily at Dongfang Hong's neck. The tip of the sword was nowhere close to her skin. With just a little force, blood could be seen.
He turned his head to look at Xi Yu, and said in a cold tone: "I don't know who you are, but if I have no grudges and enemies with you, if I know each other, I will leave now. I will only take his life today."
Xi Yu quickly raised his hand to signal the man to calm down and advised: "Brother, let's say anything well, don't be impulsive. What kind of hatred do you have with Dongfang Hong? Do you have to take such a ruthless move?"
Dongfang Hong also suppressed the fear in her heart at this time, looked at the man, and asked, "Who are you? I asked myself that I have never made any enemies with you, so why did I treat me like this?"
The man sneered again, his voice full of mockery.
"Hmph, when you arrive at the underworld, go and ask the King of Hell. What is the record in your life and death book? You will know. Today, you can't escape this disaster."
When Xi Yu heard this, he stood up suddenly, his eyes were filled with anger, and he responded coldly: "You are going to take human life indiscriminately. What is the matter? If you have the courage to do it, why don't you have the courage to reveal your true face? Isn't it because what you do is shameful!"
The man didn't care about Xi Yu's questioning at all, and he still looked cold. He sneered again: "I will surrender myself after killing him, and everyone in the world will know the reason. However, this is not a problem for you. I advise you to leave here quickly, otherwise, don't blame me for killing you, but don't take your life in for the sake of irrelevant people."
After saying that, the sword in his hand tightened again, as if warning Xi Yu not to act rashly.
At this critical moment, Xi Yu shouted loudly: "What are you still standing there? Hurry up and protect my friends!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the dark guards who were originally hiding in the dark came out in an instant.
Their movements were as fast as lightning. Before the man could react, he saw two secret guards flashing to his side like ghosts. He grabbed his arm from left to right, twisted it hard, and pulled him away from Dongfang Hong. Then, he pressed him to the ground hard.
The man looked shocked, widened his eyes, struggled desperately, and shouted loudly, "Who are you? How did you come up?"
But no matter how hard he struggled, the hands of the two secret guards were like iron pliers, firmly controlling him, making him unable to move, and could only glar at the people around him with resentment.
At this time, Xi Yu had a calm face and ordered the two secret guards: "Take off his mask quickly, I want to see who is the sacred person."
The secret guard was ordered and reached out to pull off the mask from the man's face.
Xi Yu and Dongfang Hong hurriedly came forward to check it out, and saw that the person in front of him was an ordinary person with an ordinary appearance.
Dongfang Hong looked at it carefully for a long time, frowned and shook his head. He really didn't know this person at all.
Then, Dongfang Hong nodded to Xi Yu, indicating that he really had no impression.
Xi Yu stared at the man with a sharp look and said coldly: "Tell me, what's going on with you? Why do you have to use this harsh attack on Dongfang Hong and explain the reasons clearly. Maybe I can spare your life."
The man snorted coldly, turned his head away, and did not answer, but had a stubborn look in his eyes, and he didn't seem to intend to submit easily.
The man was so angry when he heard Xi Yu's questioning, he stared at him and cursed: "Who are you? You have to meddle in other people's business here! Tonight, I was determined to kill this beast, so no one can stop me!"
Dongfang Hong frowned, reacted instantly, pointed at the man and said, "I understand, he must be from that bun shop, or one of the gangsters who teased the two ladies on the street that day."
After he reminded Xi Yu, he immediately thought of this and his eyes became a little more aware.
However, the man who was pressed to the ground looked confused and shouted: "What are you talking about? What are the bun shops and what teasing the two ladies? I don't understand what you are talking about!"
While struggling, he looked dissatisfied, but his body was held tightly by the secret guards and could not break free.
This made Xi Yu and Dongfang Hong confused. They looked at each other with a confused look on their faces.
If it weren't for the two people they guessed, then who was instructing the man in front of him, and why would he be so cruel to Dongfang Hong?
Xi Yu's face became more and more gloomy. He stepped forward, looked down at the man, and said coldly: "My patience is limited. You'd better explain the truth quickly, otherwise, don't blame me for being rude to you."
After saying that, an unquestionable majesty was revealed in his eyes, which made the man's heart tremble slightly.
But he gritted his teeth, and still stubbornly closed his mouth, refusing to express a word.
Next, Xi Yu winked at the secret guards. The secret guards understood and immediately prepared to "give" the man a good job, thinking of using some means to force him to speak.
However, Xi Yu lowered his voice and said, "After all, this is Youzhou College, don't make it too much noise, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble."
After hearing this, the secret guards nodded and then worked together to drag the man to a corner of the house.
One of the secret guards lowered his voice and said to the man viciously: "When did you want to say it? Let's come back to this room. If you keep being stubborn, you will feel better!"
Although the man was full of horror, he still had his neck stammering, looking stubborn as if he would not say anything about it if he was beaten to death.
Xi Yu frowned and asked Dongfang Hong again with a puzzled look on his face: "You really don't know that person? If you think about it carefully, you can't hide it at all."
Dongfang Hong responded anxiously: "I swear, I definitely don't know him, how dare I hide it in this matter."
Xi Yu sighed slightly and said helplessly: "Forget it, then wait until the secret guard finds a result before talking about it."
After hearing this, Dongfang Hong recalled the thrilling scene just now, and couldn't help but feel scared and sweating. She reached out and grabbed Xi Yu's arm tightly, her eyes full of fear, and her voice was trembling.
"Luckily, you came to see me today, otherwise, I really don't know what to do, and no one will come to help me. I guess I'll..."
As he said that, he didn't dare to think about the terrible consequences any more.
After hearing Dongfang Hong's words, Xi Yu nodded thoughtfully, thinking that this is indeed the case.
He smiled again on his face and comforted with a relaxed tone: "Don't worry, you're right. Since God has let us travel here from our previous life, we will definitely not let us die like this easily. We are all people with great luck. What can these small twists and turns be worth it? It's just a false alarm."
After saying that, he blinked at Dongfang Hong, trying to make him completely relieved.
Although Dongfang Hong also knew this truth, he still felt a little scared when he remembered this matter.
After a while, a secret guard came and said, "Prime Minister, that man is willing to speak."
"Since that's the case, let him come over quickly. I want to hear what's going on."
At this time, Dongfang Hong became even more curious.
