Chapter 290 The young eagle will always spread its wings and fly high
Early the next morning, Zhao Xuan and Gu Zhanghua packed up and prepared to enter the palace. After discussing, they decided that they would tell Gu Li about Tian Xueyan for two reasons, but they would not bring Tian Xueyan into the palace with them.
First, Tian Xueyan is not like Tian Yuan. She is not valued in the Yue royal family. Since Huang Shuo took Tian Xueyan away from the Yue royal palace, more than a month has passed, and Tian Shang has not taken any action towards Tian Xueyan.
Secondly, what they discussed with Gu Li were important matters related to the Xia Kingdom, and it was not appropriate for Tian Xueyan to know about it.
As soon as the two walked out of the dormitory, they met the little medical fairy who came hurriedly.
The Little Medical Fairy handed a folded paper to Gu Zhanghua and said in one breath:
"This is the list of books I made. I promised His Majesty that I would teach Gu Jingfeng medicine. He must memorize all these books to lay a solid foundation. Please help me look for them in the Imperial College's library."
"Can't I buy it in the bookstore?"
Gu Zhanghua took the list of books, opened it and took a look, then asked casually.
"Does it cost money to buy it? Wouldn't it be nice to borrow it?"
The Little Medical Fairy looked at Gu Zhanghua as if he were a fool.
"Don't you have these medical books?"
Gu Zhanghua expressed his doubts.
"I used to have them, and I knew them all by heart, but when my mother died, she was buried with my adoptive father, and I buried all these medical books with her coffin."
Little Doctor Fairy said this with some impatience.
"Send everything I find to Gu Jingfeng. I'm going to see patients."
The Little Medical Fairy walked towards the gate of the mansion, waved to the two of them, and left without a trace of cloud.
Gu Zhanghua and Zhao Xuan looked at each other and shook their heads helplessly. The Little Medical Fairy was indeed hypocritical. It would take a long time for her to fully accept Gu Jingfeng as her disciple.
Gu Zhanghua waved his hand, asking the secretary to come over and handed her the list of books. Who doesn't know how to be a hands-off manager? This matter is left to the secretary to handle.
So, after packing up and having breakfast, Gu Jingfeng was about to go to Prince Xian's Mansion to learn medicine from Xiao Yixian when he saw the secretary coming to him with a carriage full of books.
Gu Jingfeng watched the servants carrying piles of books into the study again and again, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
He looked at the secretary beside him who was commanding the servants to move books in a heroic manner and asked weakly.
"Do we have to memorize all these medical books by heart?"
Shishu thought about it seriously.
"You don't need to recite it backwards, just recite it forwards. The Little Medical Immortal asked me to borrow this from the Imperial College's library early this morning. Your Highness, please be careful and make sure it doesn't get damaged."
"so far so good!"
Gu Jingfeng wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and asked again.
"Did the Little Medical Immortal give me a deadline? How long will it take to memorize all these books?"
Neither His Highness nor the Little Medical Immortal had explained this to him. How should he answer His Highness the True King? The secretary scratched his head, looked at Gu Jingfeng with great sympathy, and shook his head.
"No, it's up to your own pace, Your Highness. However, I have a suggestion for you: memorizing all these medical books should be the first step in learning medicine."
"What about the second step? Shishu, you've known Little Medical Immortal longer than I have. Tell me about it quickly so I can be mentally prepared in advance."
When the secretary saw that Gu Jingfeng was not ashamed to ask him, a guard, he was a little flattered. He thought of his own experience of practicing martial arts for more than ten years and slowly told him about it.
"The second step should be a practical class. The Little Medical Fairy will take you out to travel and learn about some flowers and plants, and compare them with what is in the medical books."
Shishu paused here, thinking about his own hard work and practice day after day for many years, and he felt the same way about Gu Jingfeng's study of medicine.
"It will take many years before you can personally diagnose and treat patients, prescribe medicine, and even treat injuries."
"How many years is that?"
The secretary couldn't bear to hit Gu Jingfeng, so she said ambiguously:
"Then it depends on how long it takes you to complete the first step."
Gu Jingfeng watched the servants still moving medical books into the study, and suddenly he had a splitting headache. He felt like giving up. What was going on?
?
Xia Kingdom Palace, Imperial Study.
At this time, there were only Gu Li, Zhao Xuan and Gu Zhanghua.
Zhao Xuan has revealed all her doubts about the attack on the diplomatic mission that year to Gu Li.
Gu Li was shocked when he heard this. He thought that the case had already been solved, but he didn't expect that Zhao Xuan and Gu Zhanghua went to Yue State and brought back such an incredible clue.
But after repeated discussions, Zhao Xuan and Gu Zhanghua concealed the truth from Gu Li: Zhao Xiaoman and Gu Deming had changed carriages, and Gu Deming might have died for Zhao Xiaoman.
Without solid evidence, Gu Li cannot withstand another blow, and they have to consider Gu Li's health.
Gu Li thought for a moment, frowned and said:
"If such a group of killers really existed, it would be terrifying. They were able to commit such a heinous crime without leaving any trace, and they even completely evaded Yang Liuming's investigation. How did they do it?"
"Father, I've been thinking about this for years. Master's last words before her death repeatedly told me not to avenge her. I'm sure she sensed something was amiss. The conspiracy behind it must be complex, and she spoke out of concern for my safety."
Zhao Xuan took a deep breath, suppressed the sadness welling up in her heart, and then continued:
"At this point, I think there is only one possibility: this group of assassins secretly erased all evidence of the assassination of the diplomatic envoy before Prime Minister Yang arrived at the crime scene!"
"They hid it from everyone! They even hid it from Yang Liuming! This group of killers is not simple!"
Gu Li's pupils shrank slightly, he took a breath, and then shook his head with great regret.
"Since Tian Shang said it was a three-way melee, and his men were killed or injured, this group of killers must have also suffered casualties, and they haven't left any clues yet..."
As Gu Li spoke, he slammed his fist on the table and sighed deeply.
"Xuan'er, you're right. It seems Yang Liuming is still a step too late!"
Zhao Xuan hurriedly held down Gu Li's fist.
"Father, please wait. I want to ask you something. Do you know the Flame Organization, the bandit group that robbed the caravan that year?"
"I know. Your master sent people to investigate. Then your master disappeared, and your grandfather..."
Gu Li sighed and asked Zhao Xuan.
"And how did you know that?"
Zhao Xuan's eyes instantly lit up like stars, flashing with a determined and fearless light.
"The person my master sent to investigate back then was my father, Huang Shuo! He had already found some clues. Father, I want to continue investigating this matter with my father!"
Gu Li looked at Zhao Xuan in surprise and doubt.
"Do you suspect that the Flame Organization and the assassination mission are the same group? But Xuan'er, wouldn't that be too dangerous? If this group really exists, I have to say that even I am afraid..."
"Father, I must go! This is the only clue we have right now. If we don't continue investigating, we'll never know the truth behind this!"
Zhao Xuan's face was tense, and she looked like she was going to go even if you don't let me.
Gu Zhanghua did not say anything to dissuade him at this time, but just listened attentively in silence.
"How about this!" Gu Li had no choice but to take a step back, "I'll send secret guards to follow you, just in case!"
"Father, you don't have to worry. My father and I will disguise ourselves as ordinary people and investigate secretly under the pretext of searching for relatives!"
Zhao Xuan suddenly smiled a little embarrassedly.
"Father, I don't look down on your secret guards, but I don't think ten of them can defeat my father alone. Moreover, having more people will easily expose us. It's safer for us to act alone."
Gu Li couldn't help but hold his forehead and smile bitterly. The secret guard he valued was despised by Xuan'er. He immediately said angrily:
"How dare you say that! It seems I must ask your father to help me discipline these secret guards! But I heard your master mention that Huang Shuo is quite skilled. Even your master couldn't last more than three moves under his hands."
"That is!"
Zhao Xuan raised her head proudly, then covered her mouth and laughed.
"Father, let me tell you a secret. My father gave my master three moves to save face. In fact, one move is enough!"
Gu Li was still a little worried, but seeing Zhao Xuan's confident, stubborn and unyielding look, he finally nodded.
Young eagles will always spread their wings and fly high!
But then, Gu Li looked at Zhao Xuan and Gu Zhanghua with a serious expression and asked in a deep voice:
"Xuan'er, Xiaowu, who else did you tell about the existence of another mysterious assassination force at the time of the crime?"
