Time Travel: The Best Doctor in Ancient Times

Chapter 611: Chapter 460: The Urge to Kill

Having twice requested assassins from the Western Tower Assassin’s Hall without success, Yhan Qinrui felt it was because she had paid too little silver!

As long as she had the silver, would she still worry about finding an assassin to take Gu Changsheng’s life?

Standing atop the stairs, Gu Changsheng, looking at the couple whispering in a corner, couldn’t help but raise his eyebrows.

It must be said, Yhan Qinrui’s statement was quite accurate!

If she died, this vast family fortune would naturally go to her son!

But still... Yhan Qinrui was ultimately a bit too fanciful!

Gu Changsheng couldn’t help but turn his head and smiled at the sight of Yue Xilou!

Tsk tsk... The reputation of the Western Tower Assassin’s Hall was ruined in her eyes, look, Yhan Qinrui was even thinking of changing her place to buy a hit on her life!

The Flower Peacock must be heartbroken!

Seeing Gu Changsheng looking over, Yue Xilou knew what she was thinking and immediately glared back in anger.

Seeing this, Gu Changsheng helplessly shrugged his shoulders, holding an indifferent demeanor!

”Gu Changsheng, a million taels of silver, and from then on, we will no longer bother you, how about that?” Yhan Qinrui made up her mind, stepped forward, and asked in a deep voice.

Hearing this, Gu Changsheng smiled, his lips curling slightly as he slowly spoke, ”How about that? Not at all!”

”You!” Yhan Qinrui, hearing this, was momentarily stunned.

”A million taels of silver, to others, might be an astronomical figure, Yhan Qinrui, you do know me quite well!” Gu Changsheng said with a smile, ”I have a million taels of silver, but... I will not use it to feed dogs!”

”Nor will I use it to let you buy my life!”

Hearing the first part, Yhan Qinrui was initially enraged, but after hearing the latter, she incredulously took a step back!

Had Gu Changsheng heard all that they had just said?

A flash of fear suddenly crossed Yhan Qinrui’s mind!

Gu Changsheng looked at them with pity, slowly shaking his head, ”Everyone knows, I, Gu Changsheng, love my child as my life, and you... ”

As Gu Changsheng spoke, he raised his hand, pointing it one by one at the three from Li Mansion, continuing in a deep voice, ”From the moment you plotted against my son, in my eyes, you have been no different from the dead!”

”No! Gu Changsheng, stop scaring people! In broad daylight under the bright heavens, would you dare kill someone in the street?” Yhan Qinrui, hearing this, immediately shouted in panic, ”So many people are watching! Gu Changsheng, His Highness Prince Mu is currently not in Liuzhou City, I want to see who will support you now!”

The last time they were utterly defeated, it was all because Zhou Mu appeared and supported Gu Changsheng. Now that Zhou Mu was away in Liaodong, who would help Gu Changsheng?

At this moment, Yhan Qinrui was utterly certain that Gu Changsheng would not dare to touch them! It was merely a bluff!

”Haha...” Gu Changsheng, hearing this, immediately laughed. His laughter was utterly unrestrained and arrogant, ”Ridiculous! Extremely ridiculous! Yhan Qinrui, residing in Liuzhou City, you plot so earnestly to kill me, yet do you not know who governs Liuzhou City?”

”Today, I will make you die clearheaded!” Gu Changsheng’s lips formed a cold arc, slowly speaking, ”You think you hidden in Liuzhou, unknown to me? Let me tell you, even if a chicken goes missing from a Liuzhou neighbor, I know who took it!”

”The reason I let you be until now is because I truly detest you! I detest to a point where I feel like vomiting just hearing your names!”

Gu Changsheng was genuinely utterly disgusted with this family!

It was her biggest disgrace in two lifetimes! If not for the sake of her little darling, she would have evaporated them from this world long ago!

”No! This can’t be!” Yhan Qinrui, hearing this, shook her head in disbelief.

”Liuzhou Region is commanded by an official appointed by the Court; the highest official in Liuzhou City currently is the City Lord Du Chenzhi, Gu Changsheng, stop spreading fear!” Li Mufeng, hearing this, furrowed his brows and spoke seriously.

”Hehe... Who is calling me? Daring to use my full name outright! Tired of living, are you?”

A peal of laughter emerged from behind Gu Changsheng, causing everyone to look back in puzzled surprise.

Donned in official robes, wearing a fine hat, embodying integrity, if not Fat Du mentioned by Gu Changsheng, then who was it?

Seeing Du Chenzhi, the three from Li Mansion immediately took a few steps back in disbelief.

”I’m a humble official, having just started in my career. Following the decree of His Highness Prince Mu, all matters of Liuzhou City are decided solely by Lady Changsheng. I’m barely a messenger, so, the three of you, do you have any objections?” Du Chenzhi stood a step behind Gu Changsheng, looking down at the three with a playful expression, successfully seeing their terrified faces. Satisfied, Du Chenzhi turned to Gu Changsheng, flatteringly speaking, ”Lady Changsheng, that account, I have calculated it three times already, really found nothing amiss, please spare me!”

The accounts of the city below had issues, and even the experienced old accountants under Du Chenzhi hadn’t detected anything wrong, yet Lady Changsheng insisted that there was a discrepancy of fifty thousand taels of silver. Indeed, he had been ordered to remain at the Gu Residence to sort out the account books for two days, such misery!

”Stop your smooth talk and go sort out your account books. Who let you out!” Gu Changsheng glanced at Du Chenzhi, then coldly snorted.

”Wasn’t I just hearing someone picking a quarrel and ran here to support you?” Du Chenzhi spoke with a flattering face.

”Do I need your support? Go back, go back!” Gu Changsheng, hearing this, suddenly twitched her lips, speaking with a look of disgust.

Damn, it had only been calm for a short while, and just because she, this old tiger, hadn’t shown her stripes for a long time, did they think she was a sick cat!

Hearing this, Du Chenzhi touched his nose, then helplessly returned to the mansion with a sheepish look, continuing to battle with the account books. This excitement was clearly not meant for him to join; not even a chance to slack off was given by her, really!

As Du Chenzhi came and went, the onlookers exchanged bewildered glances.

”Is that, is that our City Lord?”

”Yes!”

”He said, the affairs of Liuzhou City are all decided by Lady Changsheng?”

”Yes, I was wondering who issued the order to reduce the taxes while His Highness Prince Mu is on campaign. The City Lord doesn’t have that authority; it was Lady Changsheng!”

”Exactly! Who else but Lady Changsheng could have such grand authority? Thanks to Lady Changsheng!”

”Thanks to Lady Changsheng!”

”...”

Suddenly, a wave of grateful voices rose around them.

In this bustling noise, three people from Li Mansion, looking alarmed, quickly backed away.

From the moment Du Chenzhi appeared, they had felt that a great disaster was upon them!

Now, that feeling had grown even stronger!

”Trying to leave?” Gu Changsheng, looking at the three people sneaking away, spoke in a deep voice and sternly retorted with a wave of Red Sleeve, raising his right hand toward the trio.

Yan Qinrui felt a tremendous suction coming from behind, making her lose control of herself!

Li Mufeng, whose Inner Strength had been destroyed by Gu Changsheng, was hardly better off!

In the horrified gazes of the onlookers, the three from Li Mansion, as if pulled by a rope, quickly backed toward where Lady Changsheng was standing, then stopped a foot away from her raised palm!

”Scary! Monster! Monster! Put me down!” Lady Li immediately lost all composure and began to scream loudly.

”Gu... Gu Changsheng! What are you going to do?” Yan Qinrui could barely utter a complete sentence.

”Gu Changsheng, a couple for a day is a grace for a hundred days, are you really going to kill us?” Li Mufeng spoke with a grim face.

Gu Changsheng, looking at the three people who were close at hand, focused his Inner Strength and watched as they clumsily fell on the steps before slowly withdrawing his hand, ”Just now, who was it that boldly said I wouldn’t dare do anything to you? That I wouldn’t dare kill in the streets?”

As Gu Changsheng said this, he raised his hand and blew on his palm, as if to clear away the filth from the three people, ”Actually, killing in the streets isn’t new to me; I’ve even dealt with bodies publicly. Surely, Yan Qinrui, you haven’t forgotten the fate of your wet nurse, have you? I assume the onlookers are used to it by now!”

Yan Qinrui, remembering the tragic death of her wet nurse at Gu Changsheng’s hands and her ultimately traceless demise, felt her pupils dilate with horror, ”No... don’t...”

Li Mufeng also looked solemn but was helpless!

By then, Lady Li didn’t dare to bring up trivial matters like little meat buns. The fear of death loomed over their heads, causing the trio to tremble and huddle together!

”Last time, out of consideration for my son, I pleaded on your behalf and spared your lives. Unexpectedly, you haven’t changed, still harboring malicious intentions against me!” Gu Changsheng spoke in a heavy tone, sighing reluctantly, ”The ancients did not deceive me; if you don’t remove the roots, the spring breeze will bring them back to life! You quickly forget the lessons of the past, reignite extinguished ashes, and even shifted your target to my son!”

As Gu Changsheng said this, he couldn’t help but turn his head slightly, glancing with the corner of his eye toward a tiny figure hiding behind the door, his gaze flashing with resolute severity!

”The lives I carry on my shoulders are already too numerous to count, why would I fear adding three more?” Gu Changsheng looked at the three in front of him, his slender, luminescent fingers slowly raising, continuing in a light and breezy tone, ”The road to Yellow Springs is long, journey well!”

”No!”

”Don’t!”

”Gu Changsheng!”

Upon hearing his words, the trio was struck with terror, trying to move but finding their bodies bound as if by an invisible rope, unable to move at all!

Gu Changsheng slightly narrowed his phoenix eyes, keeping an eye on the breathing of the little one behind the door, and seeing no abnormalities, he decided to once again channel his Inner Strength toward his palm!

Harming her was one thing; for the sake of the little meat bun, she could spare them from death.

But attempting to harm the little meat bun, they could not blame her for being ruthless.

If the monster could not be the little meat bun’s nemesis, then let her take on that role!

This trouble, this lifetime of shame she had endured, was enough!

Everything would end today!

To be branded a husband-killer, slandered by the world, she, Gu Changsheng, did not fear public condemnation!

Being thoroughly wicked! Actually, wasn’t all that bad!

”Hold on!”

Just as the Inner Strength in Gu Changsheng’s palm split into three strands, gripping the trio’s hearts and slowly tightening until their faces turned as pale as death, a voice rang out...
