Time Travel: The Best Doctor in Ancient Times

Chapter 1156: Chapter 824: The All-Encompassing Web! (Part 2)

”To have so many people infiltrate various nations and allow them to live justifiably without arousing suspicion at all, such an achievement could not have been accomplished overnight. How long did it take them to weave this web? Ten years? Twenty years? Or maybe a generation? Two generations? Several generations?”

The more Gu Changsheng thought about it, the more his heart trembled with fear. It was terrifying! So utterly terrifying!

”If, as we suspect, evildoer, they began laying their plans before we were even born, then why is this all-encompassing net, which has never been revealed to the world, now falling upon us? Why? What is the mastermind behind this truly plotting?” Gu Changsheng spoke with a face full of shock, with a hint of anxiety in his expression.

”I don’t know! It’s just that the way forward is becoming more unpredictable and unforeseeable!” Zhou Mu shook his head, lifted the quiet and obedient little bun from the tub, picked up a dry brocade handkerchief, and began to wipe off the water droplets on him, ”But regardless, it’s evident that they have already shown their fox’s tail, it must be that the time has come to draw in the net...”

Gu Changsheng nodded, ”So, long ago, the person behind the scenes was already playing a great chess game, and we are the ones who have stirred his chessboard. If the Northern Mongolian usurpation for power and the Southern Country rebellion were all orchestrated by him, then what he seeks must be extraordinary. Is he eyeing this entire vast realm?”

As Gu Changsheng said this, he couldn’t help but take a deep breath.

This was indeed an incredibly deep scheme!

A grand game of chess!

An all-covering massive net!

Using the entire world as pieces, employing generations to play this game, this person behind the scenes must have been plotting for a long time, even across multiple generations, and such a move must indicate that this game is about to determine the victor, at the closing phase!

Suddenly Gu Changsheng felt a bit uneasy, and this uneasiness only grew larger after she made such a speculation, causing her to leave Zhou Mu and Little Bun hastily as she hurriedly walked away.

Zhou Mu saw her leaving and called out to stop her, casually tossing something into her arms.

Gu Changsheng looked down, and her eyes changed slightly, then she no longer stayed, turning to walk towards another guest room.

”Uncle Wood...” Little Bun looked at Zhou Mu helping her dress, softly calling, ”Uncle Wood, is something big happening? Mother didn’t look well and seemed very uneasy...”

”Don’t be afraid! Didn’t Uncle Wood tell you last night, even if the sky were to fall, I would hold up a clear and bright sky for you and your mother! You just need to be good, stay by my side and your mother’s, and don’t be naughty!” Zhou Mu picked up a small jacket, ”Reach out, put on your clothes!”

”En! Uncle Wood, Yaoyao will behave very well! Yaoyao will listen to Mother and Uncle Wood, I promise not to be naughty!” Little Bun obediently stretched out her small arms, looking incredibly well-behaved.

”Your mother said your words are the least believable!” The solemn icy expression on Zhou Mu’s face faded away, and he spoke with a smile.

”Uncle Wood, don’t believe Mother saying nonsense, she says bad things about me on purpose because she’s afraid you like me and not her! Yaoyao is very well-behaved! More well-behaved than Mother! Mother is the least well-behaved!”

”Alright! Yaoyao is good! You must drink your medicine properly later...”

”...Uh! Can I not drink it?”

”No, you can’t! Your mother said you lost too much blood, and you need to drink the medicinal soup for three consecutive days!”

”Uncle Wood... no... I don’t want to drink the medicine! It’s very bitter...”

”...”

In a nearby guest room, Gu Changsheng didn’t even bother to knock before hastily pushing open the door. Anxiously, she spoke to the person lying on the bed inside, ”Senior Xiao, about the wolf pack we killed last night, who did you send to clean it up?”

Dowager Empress Xiao saw Gu Changsheng enter and hurriedly sat up from the bed. Seeing her serious face, she immediately responded, ”The dark agents of the Liaodong Royal Family left in Xunyang City, why are you so anxious, girl?”

”There’s no time to explain in detail, Senior. Please urgently notify your people not to destroy those wolf carcasses, keep some for me, I need them!” Gu Changsheng shook her head, speaking with urgency on her face.

”But it’s already summer, and the summer heat is scorching, I’m afraid the wolf carcasses can’t be preserved for long...” Dowager Empress Xiao immediately said upon hearing this.

”Then have someone send them to me immediately, or use stored ice to preserve the wolf carcasses so I can study them slowly!” Gu Changsheng spoke with an undeniable tone on her face.

Seeing her insistence, Dowager Empress Xiao quickly nodded, ”Alright! I’ll immediately send a message to have them secretly handle it! Girl, if you’re taking those wolf carcasses, could it be...”

As she spoke, Dowager Empress Xiao’s old eyes widened, looking utterly incredulous.

Gu Changsheng looked at her and gravely nodded, opening her red lips slowly, ”Yes, as you and Shang Xie inferred, those Sky Wolves might truly be transformed humans!”

Dowager Empress Xiao’s old face instantly became uncertain, her eyes gradually filled with panic and unease...

”Senior, did you also think of something?” Gu Changsheng watched Dowager Empress Xiao’s changing expression and slowly nodded, ”Indeed, Zhou Mu and I thought the same, Senior. Someone has spread a massive net, using this world as their board, and we are all pieces on that board...”

”Could it be... that we are overthinking this?” After yesterday’s intense battle, Dowager Empress Xiao, already somewhat unwell, became a few shades paler.

”I hope so! But I’m accustomed to planning for the worst and welcoming the best outcome! Senior, Liaodong is your domain, as Zhou Mu said, you managed it like an impregnable fortress. However, within your territory, there are actually so many experts capable of Wolf Transform, what do you make of this?” Gu Changsheng took a deep breath and spoke in a deep voice...
