"Your Majesty, it should be in Yuzhou," the masked man in black replied respectfully.
"Yuzhou?" The somewhat lewd-looking man narrowed his eyes, his gaze bloodthirsty. "Since they won't come to Wu territory, then death is the only outcome! What I cannot have, no one else can have. Send men to kill them!"
"My lord, if we obtain that man, we will surely be able to unify the nine provinces. Why not capture him?"
Sun Hao glared, his already small eyes making his face look comical. He roared, "Since they've already gone to that scoundrel Sima Yan, I don't believe they'll help me. Kill them!"
"It's the Lord!" The man in black vanished in a blur.
"Send the beauty!" Sun Hao's eyes were filled with lust.
Soon, four beautiful women entered his room. He embraced them on either side, feeling as if he were in heaven. Just as the eunuch who brought the women was about to leave, he stopped him, saying, "Tomorrow, I order all ministers to bring their daughters to see me!"
The eunuch, puzzled, asked, "Why did the Emperor summon them?"
"I'm just looking to see if there are any pretty girls, and maybe I can play matchmaker for them," Sun Hao said with a lewd smile.
The eunuch was taken aback. Could it be that the emperor intended to take the daughters of his ministers as concubines?
The eunuch hurriedly pleaded, "Your Majesty, most of the ministers' daughters are already married; there's no need to search for more..."
With a loud "smash!", Sun Hao threw the cup in his hand to the ground. "How dare you doubt my decision again and again! Guards, drag this lackey away, gouge out his eyes, peel off his face, cut off his legs, and feed the rest to my Siberian tigers!"
……
Inside the Yuelai Inn, Han Wuxie politely asked, "Innkeeper, do you know if there are any courtyards for sale around here?"
"Is Miss going to stay in Ancheng for a long time?" The shopkeeper was a little puzzled. Why were these three children, who were only a little over ten years old, not accompanied by anyone?
"Our family will be coming to Ancheng to visit us in a few days, so we'd like to find a place to stay in Ancheng long-term."
The shopkeeper sighed, "It's probably difficult to find a place to stay in Ancheng now. Moreover, house prices have skyrocketed in a single day. Even an ordinary house now costs a hundred taels of silver. If you want to buy a courtyard, you'll probably have to spend a lot of money."
Han Wuxie felt somewhat helpless when he recalled discovering today that the mortal realm used gold and silver to calculate expenses.
In the immortal realm, gold and silver are just decorative items used for paving roads, and no one cares about them. But here, without these things, it's impossible to move an inch!
Back in the room, Han Wuxie said with a bitter face, "Tianci, it seems I need your help this time. Go outside and look for a gold mine."
"Don't worry, sister. It's just a gold mine. What's so difficult about that? My talent is born to find treasure!" Han Tianci patted his chest and assured her.
One hour later...
Han Tianci returned feeling ashamed after being rebuffed.
Han Xingyu teased, "Didn't you say it wasn't difficult at all? Why did it take you so long? You didn't bring back a single piece of gold. What were you doing?"
Han Tianci walked to Han Wuxie's side and said somewhat aggrievedly, "Sister, I've discovered several gold mines, but they're all heavily guarded, with no gaps at all, so there's no way to get the gold."
"It seems the mortal realm really values gold." Han Wuxie sighed, somewhat troubled. "I clearly learned from my uncle's book that the mortal realm uses gold, but I completely forgot to bring some down from the immortal realm. Now I'm afraid I won't even be able to pay the innkeeper for the lodging."
With some reluctance, she took out the little white rabbit jade pendant that her second uncle had given her from her bosom and sighed, "It seems I have no choice but to pawn this."
"Sister Wuxie, just because Han Tianci can't get it doesn't mean I, the Little Devil, can't! You wait here for me, and I'll definitely bring you back a cartload of gold!" Han Xingyu said proudly.
Han Wuxie frowned, remembering the kind guard at the city gate.
There are good people in the mortal realm too; we must never harm the innocent!
She grabbed Han Xingyu and said, "No, if you're going to rob and kill, I'd rather pawn the jade pendant. We can't cause trouble and hurt innocent people!"
Han Xingyu pouted, stopped, and lowered her head in shame, thinking: How did Sister Wuxie know I was going to rob someone? But if I don't rob someone, how do I make money the fastest?
After pondering for a long time, Han Xingyu's eyes darted around, and she shook her head, saying, "Sister Wuxie, I don't need to rob or kill anyone! I can still bring you back a huge pile of gold!"
"Stop bragging, who would believe you!" Han Tianci sneered.
"Believe it or not!" Han Xingyu said confidently to Han Wuxie, "Sister Wuxie, don't worry, I absolutely won't hurt anyone, I'll be back soon!"
……
At the entrance of the clinic, a long queue stretched out. With so many people suddenly flooding into Ancheng, some were inevitably aggressive, leading to numerous arguments and fights.
The little boy shouted at the entrance of the clinic, "One tael of gold, and I guarantee a cure! They say it takes a hundred days to recover from a broken bone, but I promise you, after taking my medicine, you'll be completely healed!"
"Tch, who would believe that! You little punk, get the hell out of here!" a handyman at the clinic scoffed.
"If the first three people try, I can treat them for free, guaranteeing a full recovery! If they don't, I'll even pay them ten taels of gold!"
Upon hearing this, the burly men who had been queuing in front of the clinic and didn't believe Han Xingyu started scrambling to get in.
For them, the real issue isn't getting medical treatment, but rather whoever gets there first gets ten taels of gold! Who wouldn't want such a bargain?
Han Xingyu successfully drew the attention of a large number of people to her. The one at the front was a short, fat man with a bruised and swollen face, who had obviously been beaten up badly.
"Here, take this pill, and I guarantee you'll be cured completely. All the injuries on your face will disappear, and your broken leg will heal instantly."
The short, fat man took the black pill with some skepticism, thinking to himself: "Won't this thing kill someone?"
He hesitated for a moment, but then he thought of the ten taels of gold and steeled his resolve: At worst, he'd get a stomachache and diarrhea for a few days! Ten taels of gold could sustain him for quite some time! He'd take the plunge!
When the short, fat man tilted his head back and swallowed the pill, a miracle happened instantly!
There was an uproar around them, and even the doctors in the clinic ran out, their eyes wide with disbelief.
"Hehe! How about it? Didn't I tell you I wasn't lying?" Han Xingyu patted the face of the completely dumbfounded short, fat man, raising an eyebrow and saying, "I don't need to give you ten taels of gold anymore, right?"
The short, fat man snapped out of his daze and jumped up and down wildly, kicking his legs wildly. Like a lovesick woman, he screamed at the top of his lungs, "Holy shit, I'm cured? I'm completely fine? I thought I'd be bedridden for three or four months! Damn it, you're a miracle worker! A divine doctor, a true divine doctor!"
With a whoosh, dust billowed up, and everyone held up gold ingots, pushing the short, fat man to who-knows-where. Han Xingyu, however, immediately started charging exorbitant prices, and the reputation of this black-hearted doctor was thus established in Ancheng.
---Aside---
Haha, finding a gold mine in a mortal city is obviously a difficult task; doctors definitely make the most money! It seems that at this point, Xingyu's talent is more useful than Tianci's!
