Chapter 186 Bloodletting to Return the Father
When Gu Jize left Gu Jingnian's residence, his expression was very different from when he came.

He walked on the road, his steps were hesitant at first, but later he became determined and went to meet Gu Beiming again.

"I am incompetent and failed to persuade my eleventh brother to find the phoenix for my father, but my eleventh brother is willing to use his blood to heal my father's wounds."

"How did you persuade him?"

"The child just told me that his father was injured. He was worried about his father's safety and took the initiative to make the suggestion."

Gu Beiming looked deeply at his son in front of him and suddenly asked, "What about the other thing you promised your father just now?"

Gu Jize was not good at lying in front of his father, and he was stunned when he heard this.

"baby……"

"It seems that Eleven knows everything." Gu Beiming sighed, "He came back this time specifically to find out my secrets."

It seems that the brothers' disguise did not remain hidden from Gu Beiming for too long.

Gu Jize couldn't help but feel nervous. He stammered and prepared to explain, but Gu Beiming spoke in an open-minded tone.

"It's better to talk about it. There's nothing to hide between family members."

"Father said so."

"Since that child is filial, let him come with Mr. Liang to see if he can treat me."

Gu Beiming thought that since Gu Jingnian knew everything, he would definitely not help him find the phoenix. There was no point in deceiving him any further, so he decided to try refining one first.

Soon, Gu Jingnian and Liang Xing were brought in.

"Eleventh Master, we meet again."

"Liang Imperial Physician, would you like to see Xu?"

"I heard that the Eleventh Young Master is willing to use his blood and sweat to treat the Marshal's illness. His filial piety is commendable."

"We still need the help of Liang Imperial Physician." Gu Jingnian said, "But I don't know how you plan to do it?"

"Blood exchange method."

Liang Xing had obviously prepared a plan, and said, "The Marshal was injured by the fire. The only way to resist is to drain all the blood from his body and inject the blood of the phoenix."

"Will there be any danger?"

"If it were anyone else, it would be extremely dangerous. Fortunately, the Marshal and the young master both have the ability to heal themselves, and they are father and son, so they are closely connected, so we should have a 20% chance of success."

Gu Beiming raised his hand and said, "It doesn't matter what else you do, but don't harm my son's life. Can you do it?"

Liang Xing showed an embarrassment and said thoughtfully: "Although we can give it a try, both the Marshal and the Young Master will have to bear some risks. I will drain the Marshal's blood and only replace half of the Young Master's blood into the Marshal's body. By then, you will both be very weak."

"That's fine." Gu Jingnian said, "Then I'll leave it to Imperial Physician Liang."

Liang Xing looked at Gu Beiming and saw him nod, then he said, "Please allow me three days to prepare."

Things went quite smoothly. It seemed that Gu Beiming had already had the idea of refining Gu Jingnian.

It’s just that I had been thinking of making use of Gu Jingnian before, but now I know I can’t use him anymore, so there’s no need to say more.

For the next three days, Gu Jingnian did nothing but ate a lot of red dates and longan soup every day.

Gu Beiming entrusted the military affairs to Lu Maoxiu and Gu Jize respectively.

Gu Jize was secretly preparing for a mutiny.

It was a very nice day with clear blue skies.

Gu Jingnian had a good sleep, took a shower and changed his clothes, then was taken to an inconspicuous courtyard near the Marshal's Mansion. He pushed the door open and walked along the stone path into the refining field.

The door was closed and the scene in front of me became increasingly darker.

Finally, he entered a stone house.

Gu Beiming was already inside, shirtless, revealing his muscular upper body and the burn wound on his chest.

Liang Xing was holding a box. When he opened it, he saw leeches inside.

"Please lie down, Marshal and Young Master. I will cut open your hearts and peel out a blood vessel from Young Master's heart and connect it to the Marshal's heart. After that, just put these leeches on the Marshal's feet, they will suck the Marshal's blood, and then Young Master's heart blood will flow into the Marshal's body."

"How long will it take?" Gu Jingnian asked.

"Two days." Liang Xing said, "Too short a time could endanger one's life. It's safer to do a slow blood transfusion like this."

It is said to be safer, but if it were someone else, they would probably have died when Liang Xing cut open their chest.

Every time the blood exchange method was used, hundreds or even thousands of people died.

Gu Jingnian took off his clothes and lay down.

Liang Xing handed him a piece of cloth and asked him to bite it.

"Please bear with me, sir."

As they were talking, two old men came forward and held Gu Jingnian down. Liang Xing held a small dagger and neatly cut open Gu Jingnian's chest.

"He heals easily and stretches out."

"The ventricle is still on the left?"

"On the left..."

Gu Jingnian bit the cloth in his mouth, feeling the pain on his skin. Strangely, he gradually passed out.

A very thin blood vein was peeled out by Liang Xing with supernatural skills, and then sewn into Gu Beiming's heart with even more supernatural skills. Various sounds rang out in the stone house, and then gradually subsided.

Liang Xing placed the last leech on the sole of Gu Beiming's foot and let out a long sigh.

"As expected of the Yuren father and son."

"It was worth it for the Marshal to take the risk to refine the healing ability. After that, it will be much safer to refine other abilities."

"Go out and let them slowly change their blood."

Several old men walked out, leaving only Liang Xing.

Instead of sitting down, he retreated into the dark corner under the table, throwing off his wig and false beard in the process.

After half an incense stick of time, the leeches hanging on the soles of Gu Beiming's feet became extremely fat, and one of them fell to the ground with a "pop".

Liang Xing quickly jumped out from under the table, picked up the leech with two fingers and threw it into his mouth.

He closed his eyes, bit the fat leech, felt the blood spurting in his mouth, and showed an expression of great enjoyment.

He quickly finished eating all the leeches, mouthful after mouthful. After drinking enough blood, he felt that his whole body became more moist.

Mucus was flowing out of his body, and Liang Xing collected it in a small jar.

He hung a few more small leeches on the soles of Gu Beiming's feet, then shrunk back under the table, muttering, "It's so fun to be a salamander."

This happened countless times. Liang Xing didn't need to eat and only fed on the leeches full of blood. After two days, Gu Beiming and Gu Jingnian were still in a coma and their faces had become very pale.

Liang Xing became more and more moist, and wished he could cut himself in half and grow another one.

He looked and saw that the wounds on the father and son had healed long ago, except for the wound around the blood vessel.

Liang Xing finally cut the blood connection.

So far, the blood exchange method has not been completely successful. Gu Beiming still needs to be able to withstand the test of Nirvana, but Gu Beiming is still too weak.

The next moment, the door of the stone house was pushed open.

Gu Jize strode in and said, "I have to take my father away."

"Fourth Young Master, this is not the time to..."

Without waiting for Liang Xing to stop him, Gu Jize waved his hand and several of his trusted men stepped forward, restrained Liang Xing, stuffed his mouth, then lifted up Gu Beiming and Gu Jingnian, father and son, and walked out.

After leaving the stone house, I found that the entire refining plant had been controlled by Gu Jize, and all the soldiers had a red cloth tied on their arms.

They were carried into a carriage and headed east out of the city of Guise.

The carriage sped eastward, then turned north and entered a pass.

The city wall is not big, but it is built between two steep cliffs.

The three big characters inscribed above the city gate are "Wanren City".

When he arrived at Wanren City, Gu Jize breathed a sigh of relief.

Because this city was built by Geng Xuezhi, the people stationed here before were Geng Xuezhi's former subordinates. After Geng Xuezhi's death, they became subordinates of Gu Jize.

It can also be said that this is Gu Jize's territory.

He put a hood on Gu Beiming and personally sent Gu Beiming and Liang Xing to a basement.

Although it is a basement, it is very large and has all kinds of daily necessities. It was arranged by Gu Jize for Gu Beiming to live in during the past few days.

"Mr. Liang, I am not betraying my father by doing this. I am doing this for his own good. Please do your best to treat him. If there is anything missing, please tell me at any time. But you cannot take my father away."

After saying that, Gu Jize locked the thick iron door and kept the key himself.

After doing this, he turned and went to another cell that was converted into a residence.

Gu Jingnian was imprisoned inside.

"Awake?" Gu Jize pushed Gu Jingnian awake and said, "You are under my control now."

"So what? Fourth brother plans to go back on his word?"

"No, you kept your promise, and I will keep mine too, and rescue Si Niang and her daughter. After all, she is also my sister." Gu Jize said, "But I will not hand my father over for nothing. I want to talk to Rui Ting."

Gu Jingnian understood what Gu Jize meant, which was that he wanted to take control of the situation.

"Brother, can you make sure you can control father?"

"He is still very weak and has been kept under strict custody by me."

"What about Jusaicheng and my father's confidants? Including Lu Maoxiu."

"I sent him out, but we don't have much time." Gu Jize said, "And we need to make a plan on how to get Kaiping Division to release the person without harming my father's life."

"I'll contact them first."

Gu Jingnian struggled to sit up.

He had lost too much blood and felt weak all over, but his spirits were still lifted.

He paid his father's debt with his blood, and from then on he owed nothing to Gu Beiming.

He kept his promise to Yin Jinggeng and did not let Gu Beiming use Yin Kuo to rebel.

More importantly, he was about to fulfill Kaiping Division's conditions and had hope of rescuing Gu Caiwei.
