Chapter 84: Speaking Offhand
Seeing someone from the Yun Tang Kingdom’s envoy group directly kneel down was not only unexpected for Gu Yu, but for everyone present.
Jin Jun, in particular, turned as dark as coal, wishing he could kill the kneeling person with a sword.
The Yun Tang Kingdom came to cause trouble for the Lin Feng Kingdom, and kneeling was a disgrace to the Yun Tang Kingdom!
“Divine Doctor, I don’t want to die yet, please save me!”
“Save you? What benefits will I get? Do you know how much it costs to ask me to treat you now?”
“Whatever it is, I’ll give it! Even if you ask me to kowtow and call you father, as long as I can continue to live, I don’t want to become a monster and die!”
Listening to the other party’s words, Gu Yu couldn’t help but touch his chin. He originally wanted silver or other consultation fees, but after seeing Jin Jun’s dark face, he immediately lost all interest.
It’s just a minor scarlet fever, no consultation fee needed. He’ll offer a free treatment today.
Alas, he is truly a reincarnation of Buddha!
His heart is too kind!
“Alright, I’m in a good mood today, I’ll treat you for free.”
“Thank you, Divine Doctor!”
The man, who was about to kowtow, showed a look of relief on his face when he heard Gu Yu agree to treat him. He then eagerly scurried towards Gu Yu, ready to drink the medicine that could cure the strange illness!
He was a noble son of the Yun Tang Kingdom, educated with the best education since childhood, a successful candidate in the imperial examinations who excelled in poetry and prose. How could he die easily from a strange illness!
He came along this time just to see what the Lin Feng Kingdom’s scenery was like and how beautiful the women were, but who knew there were so many twists and turns inside!
No wonder, when he wanted to join the envoy group, his friends and family all had disapproving expressions on their faces. They must have known long ago that this was not a simple visit.
However, none of this had anything to do with him!
He just wanted to return to normal, not to die in agony!
“Here is the prepared medicinal powder, just drink it!”
Although the other party was from the Yun Tang Kingdom, Gu Yu treated him the same as an ordinary patient at this moment and would not be harsh.
When Gu Yu handed over the medicine bowl, the other party immediately took it with a grateful hand and then tilted his head and gulped it down.
When the medicine bowl was empty, he wished he could lick it a few more times, which made Gu Yu feel amused and speechless.
Drinking a little would cure it, and there was no need to worry too much.
“Alright, now we can check if what I said is true or false.”
After the man drank the medicine, Gu Yu ignored him and directly rolled up the little boy’s sleeve. He then saw that his arm was as smooth as ever, with no red spots at all.
It was actually cured!
Seeing that the sick child was completely cured, the Imperial Doctors and ministers of the Lin Feng Kingdom showed appreciative expressions of “As expected of you,” thinking that Gu Yu’s medical skills were truly amazing, able to cure unknown difficult and complicated diseases in minutes.
To reach this level required a considerable amount of knowledge reserve and practical operation.
It was truly rare for Gu Yu, at such a young age, to be so proficient!
As for the Yun Tang Kingdom group, they were initially looking down on the guy who knelt down, but now, seeing that Gu Yu could actually cure the strange illness, their eyes widened in shock.
Among them, those who had already been infected now had the urge to kneel, begging Gu Yu to cure them!
The people of the Yun Tang Kingdom were very familiar with this kind of strange illness.
Incurable!
After all, on the way bringing the sick child, the Yun Tang Kingdom had tried every means to cure him but failed!
Therefore, only Gu Yu could resolve it!
“This doctor’s medical skills are truly remarkable. Such a difficult illness was easily cured. The medical skills of the Lin Feng Kingdom are truly as legendary as they say, too powerful… However, please also treat the other sick people, to prevent any loss of life.”
While Jin Jun was speaking, although he had a smile on his face, he was gritting his teeth in his heart, thinking that they had come here in vain!
Not only did they fail to hinder the Lin Feng Kingdom, but they ended up losing themselves instead!
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, so angry that his neck started to hurt… Wait, his neck?
As if realizing something, while everyone’s attention was on Gu Yu, Jin Jun, who had not been checked, secretly lifted a corner of his sleeve.
When he saw that his arm was also covered in red spots, he was struck by lightning. He never expected that he himself had contracted the strange illness!
He clearly hadn’t come into contact with the sick child, so why was he infected!!!
In an instant, Jin Jun panicked.
He immediately thought about whether he would die on the way! Who would his hidden treasures and several concubines in his home eventually fall to!
He was unwilling!
However, after a moment of panic, Jin Jun suddenly remembered what he had just said, and his emotions quickly stabilized.
That’s right, it was just as he had said.
Gu Yu would treat them!
After all, they were not like the Dongbang Kingdom who had directly torn their masks off, so the Lin Feng Kingdom would not refuse the Yun Tang Kingdom’s request!
He would definitely not die!
“Since it is the request of the Yun Tang Kingdom envoy, I will naturally not disappoint you! However, I will treat you, but you need to provide the medicinal herbs. For example, the ginseng I just used was a thousand-year-old ginseng king, the reishi mushroom was also a thousand-year-old reishi mushroom, and a thousand-year-old… Oh, right, I forgot to tell you, those were all for one person. I wonder how many of you are sick!”
“……”
However, when Gu Yu spoke again, Jin Jun’s eyes went black, and he almost fainted.
Regarding this blatant act of extortion, Jin Jun felt that Gu Yu was too shameless!
Thousand-year-old medicinal herbs, spoken offhand.
It was like cabbage in the market…
But, let alone thousand-year-old medicinal herbs, even hundred-year-old medicinal herbs were extremely rare!!!
Gu Yu was extorting them!!!
But they had to be treated, otherwise, they could only wait for death!
After all, when they brought the sick child with them, the people of the Yun Tang Kingdom had personally witnessed the child’s life hanging by a thread. If it weren’t for future use, they wouldn’t have used precious medicinal herbs to keep the child’s life going, allowing him to persist until the capital without dying.
As a result, these symptoms had now fallen upon them!
And while Jin Jun was feeling indignant about Gu Yu’s extortion, the Imperial Doctors standing nearby were also bristling with anger, thinking that they had been paying attention to Gu Yu all along and had never seen him produce thousand-year-old ginseng and reishi mushrooms!
Now Gu Yu was speaking off the cuff, and there was no hint of lying on his face. Instead, he had a determined expression, as if he truly needed several kinds of thousand-year-old medicinal herbs.
They truly believed his ghost stories!
If they hadn’t been staring closely the whole time, the Imperial Doctors felt they would have been tricked by Gu Yu too.
However, thinking about it again…
Being able to make the Yun Tang Kingdom suffer, the Imperial Doctors felt very pleased… After all, Jin Jun’s sarcastic demeanor earlier had made them feel very disgusted.
Therefore, even if Gu Yu was lying with his eyes open, they wouldn’t pay too much attention!
