Time Travel: The Best Doctor in Ancient Times

Chapter 214: Chapter 125: Name of the Person, Shadow of the Tree Chapter 214: Chapter 125: Name of the Person, Shadow of the Tree The search for the esteemed Medicine God Lady Changsheng caused quite a stir, and, despite the secretive efforts of the Liuzhou Medical Guild’s doctors, a new round of exhaustive city-wide searches was carried out with great zeal.

The citizens of Liuzhou City were overjoyed and excited, so much so that they almost set off firecrackers in celebration as if it were the New Year…

They, Liuzhou, had won! Their Lady Changsheng of Liuzhou had won! Their Lady Changsheng of Liuzhou had become a revered Medicine God!

For a time, all anyone could talk about was Gu Changsheng, and even the children playing in the streets would sing songs about the Medicine God Changsheng…

The pharmacists ran around like headless flies searching throughout the city, while the Taizhou Medical Guild wilted like frostbitten eggplants, losing their arrogant bluster.

A bet of a million taels weighed heavily, turning Jiao Fangyi’s hair almost white with worry!

His bold declarations from that day loomed before him—he had been so confident, bringing in Superior Medicine Refiner Hu Bingzhi, but there was always a higher mountain, who could have expected a Lady Changsheng to emerge from Liuzhou?

At this moment, Jiao Fangyi also desperately hoped to find Gu Changsheng, to kneel down and beg for mercy!

There was no escaping now. Even if it meant throwing away his pride, he had to wriggle out of the bet, or else, where would the Taizhou Medical Guild find even one wen of money to earn over the next five years?

As for Hu Bingzhi, his expression was indescribable, inscrutably calm as he waited on the side for Lady Changsheng to appear.

In this world, there are no walls that can keep out the wind. After three days of searching, the pharmacists eventually found Gu Changsheng hiding at the foot of Baili Mountain.

The spectacle that followed was indeed magnificent.

Those offering gifts brought gifts, those offering silver brought silver, and if that didn’t suffice, they brought people!

There were even pharmacists who sent two pretty little maids to Gu Changsheng.

As fate would have it, Eunuch Yuan Bao happened to be there when these two maids arrived.

The situation spun out of control, and Eunuch Yuan Bao grew furious beneath Gu Changsheng’s awkward expression!

Damn it, this woman belonged to his master. Which short-sighted person dared to encroach upon his master’s territory in the Liuzhou Region? That would be like an old man seeking death by drinking poison!

So, Eunuch Yuan Bao’s approach was simple: with a sweeping motion, as powerful as if he could uproot mountains and cover the skies, he summoned a line of guards. They encircled the small courtyard where Gu Changsheng was staying and declared that henceforth, only women were allowed to visit the pharmacists, no men and not even eunuchs!

Moreover, during the period that Gu Changsheng was recuperating, not only were the pots and pans needed for preparing medicine sold out, but the inns of Liuzhou City were also filled to the brim.

It couldn’t be helped. The County Prince’s Mansion was the Local Tycoon of the Liuzhou Region, and when the Grand Steward of the County Prince’s Mansion declared that only women could enter, only women were allowed to enter!

Thus, the pharmacists fully exercised their Great Summoning Technique, calling upon wives, daughters, mothers, aunts, and all women who were articulate and persuasive. All converged in Liuzhou with the sole aim of engaging the services of Lady Changsheng for their benefit.

“Damn it! One woman can make a show, but this flock of women is downright like bombers. That Eunuch Yuan Bao, that Er Que, he’s definitely here to hassle me!” Having just sent away a group of visiting aunts, Gu Changsheng, drained, slumped into a chair, massaging her ears.

Xiao Cui, ever so attentive, quickly stepped forward to refill her tea.

“Damn it, if I catch Yuan Bao, I’ll definitely tear off that layer of fat from him!” Gu Changsheng lamented, aggrieved. Who had she offended?

Indeed, it’s true that the bird that sticks out gets shot. Some places are just cursed, and some people just don’t think straight—like Yuan Bao, who was currently rushing headlong towards the line of fire…

“You, stop right there! My courtyard is off-limits to eunuchs! You set that rule yourself!” From a distance, spotting Yuan Bao’s rotund figure, Gu Changsheng stood with hands on hips and halted him with a shout.

“Lady Changsheng, you must be joking. I am a domestic eunuch, always loyal and sure to turn my elbow inward, never betraying my master!” With a grin wrinkling his bun-like face, Yuan Bao showed off his thick skin, not retreating but advancing, undaunted by the intimidation.

“You might not betray your master, but you sure as hell can hoodwink him!” Gu Changsheng remembered her ears rubbed raw these past few days, and her expression remained unfriendly.

“Lady Changsheng, please, I’m no joker. I’m a truly good servant. Why would I do anything so dishonorable?”

Gu Changsheng glared at him, irritated. The man was truly clueless, having done no shortage of dishonorable deeds!

With a resigned wave of her hand, Gu Changsheng was about to send away the vexing Yuan Bao when a commotion rose at the entrance.
