Time Travel: The Best Doctor in Ancient Times

Chapter 607: Chapter 456: 100 taels of silver to buy her life

Gu Changsheng had truly given up on Emperor Zhoulin!

Damn it, sending people to summon her to the Capital City hadn’t worked, and then they sent that little bitch Huo Shuixian, followed by that couple from Li Mansion!

He genuinely wanted to break up her and the evildoer!

Regarding this, Gu Changsheng had only one thing to say, impossible!

Her life was hers to control, and no matter who it was, they shouldn’t expect to influence or ruin her happiness!

Upon hearing this, Si Xi paused to think for a moment, then turned and left.

Having arranged everything and cleared her mind, Gu Changsheng felt much lighter!

Time flew like an arrow, and in the blink of an eye, spring had turned into winter...

During the Winter Solstice, she hadn’t eaten any dumplings!

Because on the day of the Winter Solstice, the battle at Hengtang had taken place, and she had spent it amidst chaos!

Changing from a autumn to winter coat, everything had gotten back on track, and under Gu Changsheng’s strong leadership, the Liuzhou Region remained prosperous!

In the Capital City, when Kun Nu reported back, Emperor Zhoulin passed out from anger when he heard the message. Gu Changsheng thought to herself, he damn well deserved it!

Who told him to be so troublesome!

The granddaughter-in-law he fancied had already gone to Southern Chen, and Li Mansion hadn’t achieved anything, just wasted away due to a decree from the Founding Ancestor!

The world, at last, had grown much quieter!

The injuries of Flower Peacock had healed under her careful care, and her inner strength had not only not decreased but unexpectedly increased, which was indeed a pleasant surprise!

But what puzzled Gu Changsheng was, damn it, she neither experienced a family reunion nor a love-hate relationship!

Flower Peacock simply stopped mentioning those two old folks!

Regarding this, Gu Changsheng could only say, damn it, snail is also a kind of mindset!

If he wanted to avoid facing it, so be it!

After all, Gu Changsheng herself was pretty much like a snail by nature, very good at muddling through!

Her foster father had gone to Baili Mountain, and this time the little bun had flatly refused to go, insisting on sticking by his mother!

The rebuilding of Baili Mountain perfectly demonstrated the truth of the saying, ”many hands make light work.” At least, her mountain stronghold was quickly restored to its original state, only with fewer trees!

Everything had returned to calm, and when Gu Changsheng saw Yhan Ting rushing back, she finally had no more worries!

With the blood medicine from the Dandan bug, the evildoer’s recovery had everyone enraged, and it seemed unlikely that anyone would be able to hurt him!

However, pacifying Liaodong wasn’t something that could be accomplished overnight. She just needed to settle in Liuzhou and wait patiently!

The only thing that fell short of perfection was that, since the incident involving blood, Dandan had not woken up!

No matter how Gu Changsheng called, it continued to sleep soundly, impossible to awaken!

Gu Changsheng was quite worried about this, but she was powerless!

All she could do was wait quietly!

On this day, the weather was lovely, and the sunshine was perfect...

Utterly bored, Gu Changsheng was lying under the sun-drying rack, listening to Si Xi and Borjigin Nian talking, and suddenly sat up in shock, ”Damn it, what did you say? Flower Peacock is the owner of Huitong Money House?”

Had she heard it wrong?

Huitong Money House! The biggest money house in the Four Kingdoms!

Gu Changsheng suddenly imagined a dance of Silver Ingots in front of her, feeling as if she were floating.

”That’s right, Yue Xilou is the owner of Huitong Money House! It is said that Huitong Money House is loaded, unimaginably wealthy! Moreover, the biggest iron mine among the Four Kingdoms is owned by Huitong Money House!” Borjigin Nian added proudly on one side.

Upon hearing this, Gu Changsheng immediately raised her eyebrows, speaking with a half-embarrassed expression, ”Nian, I suddenly regret it. Such a high, rich, and handsome golden bachelor. If you get a bargain on him, it would make me feel uneasy!”

”How about I call off the engagement and compete fairly with you?” Gu Changsheng looked at Borjigin Nian with a cheeky expression, raising her eyebrows.

”You scram! Try calling off the engagement, and see if my elder martial brother doesn’t go crazy!” Borjigin Nian responded instantly, glaring.

”Bright Moon Tower, Huitong Money House, the Iron Mine, the wealth of Flower Peacock, it really is incredibly thick!” Gu Changsheng swallowed hard, slapping her thigh, ”Damn it, having my little bun take him as a master was truly the most brilliant and heroic decision of my lifetime!”

Right? Right? With such a master, the little bun wouldn’t have to worry about going hungry in this lifetime!

Gu Changsheng felt that even if it meant the little bun would have to dress like Yue Xilou, it seemed acceptable!

That’s a whole lot of silver!

”You think, if it weren’t for my secret help as the Tower Master, the private iron you use on Baili Mountain, where do you think it came from?”

The voice of Yue Xilou rose from behind Gu Changsheng, who spun around instantly with a face full of ingratiating smile, ”Thank you! Thank you! We are all family, so how about I treat you to some meat?”

She thought so, it couldn’t have been easy to get her hands on Private Iron; it was her Flower Peacock who had secretly helped her!

Her life, indeed, was quite fulfilled!

Upon hearing this, Yue Xilou immediately scoffed, a face of displeasure as he spoke, ”I am not like someone, who cannot be happy without meat, satisfied with just a serving of it!”

”Er...” Having heard this, Gu Changsheng touched his nose with an embarrassed look and muttered dissatisfiedly, ”What’s wrong with deriving joy from meat? Having meat to eat is the greatest joy in life, what else is there to be dissatisfied about!”

Everyone turned their heads upon hearing this.

They were genuinely speechless at Gu Changsheng’s contentment and self-entertainment!

”Stop grinning foolishly at me, bring out your weapon!” Yue Xilou rolled his eyes at Gu Changsheng and sharply commanded.

On hearing this, Gu Changsheng looked utterly confused, but obediently reached towards his waist, very amenable as he asked, ”Do you want a scalpel or Chonghua?”

She had become increasingly proficient with Chonghua, and liked its bright red color so much that she couldn’t let go of it.

Seeing his treasured weapon in Gu Changsheng’s hand, Yue Xilou couldn’t help but snort coldly, suddenly grasping his folding fan and pointed at Gu Changsheng with a stern voice, ”Stop the grinning! The Tower Master here has accepted a task to take your life!”

”What?”

”What?”

”What?”

At this, the surrounding people were all shocked!

Gu Changsheng’s mouth gaped open for a long while until he finally regained his senses, hastily got up from the couch, and looked at Yue Xilou incredulously, pointing first at him and then at himself, swallowing his saliva as he said, ”What did you say? You’ve come to take my life? Are you sure you’re not mistaken!”

Gu Changsheng looked up and down Yue Xilou with disdain, shook a finger, ”Even if I let you win, you still wouldn’t be able to beat me! You’re dreaming too big, Flower Peacock; that’s totally unrealistic!”

Her Kung Fu skills now far surpassed those of Flower Peacock!

Frowning, Yue Xilou replied through gritted teeth, ”You damned weirdo! Don’t talk to the Tower Master!”

”Er...” Gu Changsheng was speechless.

Damn it, if we don’t talk, do we start fighting?

Denying Flower Peacock would just mean having to heal him later, which doesn’t make sense!

”Flower Peacock, this infighting isn’t good for you; I’ve only been living peacefully for a few days, and I’m already on the list of the Western Tower Assassin’s Hall, this really annoys me!” Gu Changsheng said, approaching Yue Xilou with a rascal’s smirk, and hesitantly asked, ”Well... could I possibly inquire, how much Silver has been offered for my life this time?”

Yue Xilou looked at her sideways with a slightly malevolent smile.

Gu Changsheng, feeling a bad premonition, immediately responded!

”One hundred taels!”

Under Gu Changsheng’s gaze, Yue Xilou slowly raised a finger, waving it before her eyes.

Following that, Gu Changsheng also waved and said with incredulousness, ”One... one hundred taels? Are you sure, Flower Peacock?”

”Absolutely sure! It’s exactly one hundred taels, not a cent more!” Yue Xilou hummed assertively.

Hearing this, Gu Changsheng completely broke down, exploding, ”Damn! Are you kidding me? Last time it was a thousand taels, and now it’s only one hundred taels! Has the price on my head been reduced? Damn it! Flower Peacock, are you idly scratching yourself? You accept such a cheap contract to kill me, has the entire squad of your Western Tower Assassin’s Hall been kicked in the head by a donkey?”

”One hundred taels to take the life of Gu Changsheng, damn! Are you sure you’re not mistaken? This totally defies logic!”

While saying this, Gu Changsheng looked displeased and kicked Yue Xilou.

Shit, this guy definitely saw she was living too leisurely and came to annoy her deliberately!

Was she that cheap and insignificant?

A person as grand as her! How could she possibly be worth only one hundred taels?

Yue Xilou dodged the incoming kick nonchalantly, opening the folding fan with a playful look, ”Isn’t it just killing time? We have to find something amusing, right?”

Having said this, Yue Xilou’s tone shifted, his lips curving slightly, ”Moreover, one hundred taels, that’s all they could afford by selling everything they owned, they’re so eager for your life, I genuinely pity them, so I accepted this half-charity, half-sale job!”

”Scary! Gu Changsheng, you actually have such a poor enemy, that’s something else!” From the moment Yue Xilou appeared, Borjigin Nian had been sitting quietly at a side without speaking, but now he couldn’t help but burst out.

Upon hearing this, Gu Changsheng shot a lethal glance, ”Shut up! Just be your beautiful woman quietly!”

Hearing this, Borjigin Nian shut his mouth immediately, blinking his deep-set eyes silently.

Gu Changsheng said, such a cold and aloof woman was more appealing, and she, Borjigin Nian, definitely wanted to give it a try!

Indeed, seeing Borjigin Nian like this, Yue Xilou frowned and glanced at her.

Just this one look immediately made Borjigin Nian’s heart bloom with joy. She was utterly delighted!

”Damn, how big of a grudge does one need to sell all they own for one hundred taels of silver, just to kill me!” Gu Changsheng couldn’t help but purse her lips, mulling over in her mind, damn, did she really have such a poor enemy?
