"Change a carriage!" Ren Baqian looked at the fork-horned cow that the guards brought over and hesitated for a while, but he didn't have the courage to climb up.
In the end, they switched to a large four-wheeled ox-cart and left the palace in a grandiose manner, heading towards the clinic.
Ren Baqian was restless in the carriage. After a long bumpy ride, he finally arrived near the clinic, but the guards in front suddenly stopped.
"Make way! This is Principal Ren's carriage. Stop glaring and make way! "
"What's going on?" Ren Baqian lifted the curtain and asked.
"Sir Tong and Sir Qin's guards are blocking the entrance of the clinic!"
"Oh?" Ren Baqian didn't expect them to be at the clinic.
Fortunately, the carriage continued to move forward. Ren Baqian looked to both sides and saw five burly men glaring at him with murderous looks.
Obviously, the murderous look wasn't directed at him but at another group of people.
Since the relationship between the family heads wasn't good, the guards naturally tried to kill them with their glares.
Ren Baqian ignored them and had more important matters to attend to.
The carriage moved forward a few steps before stopping. Ren Baqian carefully got out of the carriage, tried his best to spread his legs, and staggered into the clinic.
"Sir, which doctor are you looking for?" Shi Hu asked.
Ren Baqian stood rooted to the ground and pondered. How would he know which doctor to look for? He didn't even know if the clinic could treat this illness. How could he express the question he wanted to ask in a way that the other party could understand and not have too much of a reaction?
Then, Ren Baqian heard Qin Chuan's wild laughter from the courtyard next door. "Old man, take a few steps if you have nothing to do!"
"I'm naturally fine!" Tong Zhengye snorted.
"Your steps are like those of a Great Xia woman! Minister Tong of the Ministry of Works … Hahahaha! "Qin Chuan burst into laughter.
"Hmph, if you are fine, take a few steps if you have nothing to do!" Tong Zhengye immediately retorted.
"I'm naturally fine!"
"Take a few steps! Could it be that you're afraid? "
"Let's go. Why would I be afraid of an ignorant man like you?"
Then, Tong Zhengye laughed wildly. "Old man, your pants are wet, and you still say you are fine? Hahahaha, Minister Qin of the Ministry of War is actually bleeding? "
"This old man was only hit by one arrow!" Qin Chuan snorted.
"An arrow in the buttocks?" Tong Zhenye's laughter could even be heard from outside the courtyard.
"Bah, how much better can you be? If you're not convinced, then let's spar! "Qin Chuan said angrily.
"How can you compete in your current state?" Tong Zhenye continued to burst into laughter.
"Let's run from here to the city gate and back. Do you dare?"
"…" Tong Zhenye pondered for a moment and said, "Why should I compete with an ignorant man like you whose pants are drenched in blood? I'm ashamed to be associated with you. "
Qin Chuan immediately flew into a rage.
Ren Baqian then heard the sound of punches and kicks coming from the courtyard next door.
Ren Baqian's face was bright and full of expression. Just now, the conversation between the two of them made him think of a possibility … Could it be that these two old fellows were suffering from hemorrhoids at the same time?
Ren Baqian gestured to the guard and tiptoed into the courtyard to take a look. Even though the two of them were punching and kicking, their movements were very strange. It was obvious that they didn't dare to use too much strength and didn't even dare to make any big movements. If they made any big movements, they would grimace in pain.
Ren Baqian felt that this possibility was even greater. Looking at their movements, he could imagine what kind of pain they were experiencing. It was simply too familiar.
"Shut up!"
The door of a room in the courtyard opened, and an old man with white hair and beard glared at the two of them.
"Both of you stay there obediently!"
He didn't seem to care about the status of the two of them. It could be said that there weren't many people in the imperial court who had a higher status than them.
Tong Zhenye and Qin Chuan immediately stood at the side and stared at each other, but they were very obedient.
"Principal Ren, you have been watching for a long time. What are you here for?" Ren Baqian suddenly heard Qin Chuan's malicious voice.
"Haha, I just have nothing to do!" Ren Baqian laughed and revealed himself as he strolled.
Qin Chuan and Tong Zhenye immediately focused their attention on Ren Baqian's movements.
"Speaking of which, I haven't been to this clinic for a long time. The air here is still good." Ren Baqian laughed and turned to leave. He was afraid that these two old bastards would know what was wrong with him.
Since they knew which courtyard it was, things would be easy.
He could just come back later.
"Since you are here, just wait there quietly. I don't have the mood to suffer from the same illness several times." The old man in the courtyard glanced at Ren Baqian, observed his walking posture, and then said faintly.
"I'm really fine!" Ren Baqian turned around and smiled. "This is actually a misunderstanding!"
"In that case, don't look for me later. I'm going out to gather herbs," the old man immediately said.
Ren Baqian thought about it. Was treatment more important or his reputation more important … No matter how he thought about it, he felt that his reputation was more important, but he just couldn't take a step forward …
Looking at the old man's attitude toward Tong Zhenye and Qin Chuan and their reactions, Ren Baqian really believed that the old man wouldn't care about him.
Then, the scene became the two people in the courtyard and the one at the door. The three of them stared at each other.
"I didn't expect both of you to be here at the same time." Ren Baqian laughed and tried to resolve the awkward atmosphere.
"I also didn't expect Sir Ren to appear here." Qin Chuan's eyes were like copper bells as he laughed mischievously. He still remembered what happened last time. The thing that Ren Baqian took out made him want to die for a period of time.
"Sir Ren and I have always been fated. Tonight, let's go to Misty Cloud Restaurant and have three big bowls of wine." Tong Zhenye immediately tried to rope in his comrade.
"I have booked Misty Cloud Restaurant today. Old man, you should wait for me to leave before drinking the leftovers!" Qin Chuan immediately turned his head and sneered.
"Old man, your buttocks are still bleeding. Do you want to dye Misty Cloud Restaurant with blood? I'm afraid that in the next year, all the brothels in Lan City will spread the story of the Minister of War. "Tong Zhenye's gaze didn't leave Qin Chuan's lower body like a knife.
"It's just a small arrow wound!" Qin Chuan didn't seem to care.
"I wonder which expert shot your buttocks with an arrow. I have to treat him to a good drink." Tong Zhenye retorted sarcastically.
"If you have nothing to do, why don't you take a few steps and take a look?" Qin Chuan didn't show any mercy with his words.
Ren Baqian sighed and watched the two of them bickering. He felt that he was unlucky. Firstly, he was unlucky to have contracted this illness. Secondly, he was unlucky to have met these two fellows.
After waiting for the time it took to drink two cups of tea, the door to the previous room was opened again. Shi Qing walked out with a refreshed look on his face.
"So it's the three of you. I'll take my leave first." Shi Qing looked at the three of them with a strange look, cupped his fists, and walked away with a majestic gait.
"The three of you, come in." The old man extended his head and beckoned the three of them in.
He first reached out and pressed on each of their shoulders before slapping their buttocks. When he saw their eyebrows twitching, he immediately knew that he was right.
"Take off your clothes," the old man said.
"Ah?" Ren Baqian looked at the other two old men. Even though he had been to public bathhouses since he was young, he couldn't face these two old men openly in the same room.
"The three of you, go inside." The old man pointed inside. Ren Baqian then noticed that there were actually a few areas separated by cloth.
The three of them each found a place and started to take off their clothes.
The old man called out from outside, "Zhong Qing, bring three basins of ice water over."
Then, he stretched his head to see that the three of them were naked and said, "Stand upside down with both hands on the ground."
Ren Baqian was now at the mercy of others. He stood upside down with both hands on the ground and muttered in his heart whether this old man was reliable or not.
Not long after, someone came in.
Then, a basin of ice water was poured on Ren Baqian's body. Ren Baqian's body immediately quivered.
It was really ice water. Ren Baqian could feel the ice shards hitting his body.
The temperature was definitely below 10 degrees Celsius.
He immediately let out a strange cry and somersaulted in the air before landing on the ground …
Then, his heart tightened …
However, he realized that the pain he expected didn't come. There was only a very slight pain, and it wasn't a big deal.
He reached out and touched it … It was gone? Was it alright?
It was stimulated by the ice water just now and shrank back …
After a while, the three of them cupped their fists and expressed their gratitude in a refreshed manner.
Before Ren Baqian went out, he scanned the ground and found four empty basins on the ground …
After leaving the courtyard, Tong Zhengye waved at Ren Baqian with a relaxed expression and said, "Sir Ren, that old man is pitiful. I won't fight with him today. Tomorrow, I'll treat you to a meal at Yanyun Restaurant."
"Hmph!" Qin Chuan walked over to Tong Zhengye in high spirits and called for his followers to ride away. His wild laughter could still be heard from afar.
