Lu Fei hurriedly asked, "Then who can do it?"
Gong Pei looked at the two of them and said, "There's a person called Hua Tuo in Pei Country's Qiao County. He will definitely be able to cure it."
Lu Fei slapped his head, wondering how he had forgotten about this divine doctor. He immediately put down a large ingot of gold and brought Diao Chan into the carriage. Gong Pei shouted, "We must arrive within half a month, or else there will be no cure."
Lu Fei waved his hand at Gong Pei and drove the carriage towards the east. Diao Chan hurriedly said, "Young Master Lu, we … we should go to Luoyang first. I have an important matter to hand over to Lord Situ."
Lu Fei said, "Do you know how far Pei Country is from here? Even if we travel day and night without stopping, we might not be able to arrive within half a month. If we return to Luoyang now, you will definitely die. "
Diao Chan bit her lip and said, "But this thing is related to the fate of the Han Dynasty. There cannot be any mishaps."
Lu Fei said, "Don't worry, with me here, nothing will happen to your treasure."
Diao Chan fell into a dilemma and said worriedly, "My life was saved by Lord Situ. Even if I die, I cannot delay his important matters."
Lu Fei said helplessly, "Then you should find a place to hide it. When we return from the treatment, we will retrieve it."
Diao Chan said happily, "This is a good idea. I will write another letter to Lord Situ and he can send someone to retrieve it. We must hide it in a secret place."
Lu Fei drove the carriage into a dense forest deep in the mountains. He stopped at the foot of a mountain and looked up. He saw a large black bear entering a cave. That black bear was huge, and it was unknown how many years it had lived. Lu Fei said, "It's hidden in that black bear's cave. I think that even if others received your letter, they would not know where it is hidden."
Diao Chan said, "That would be best, but it is too dangerous inside. I am afraid that Young Master will be injured."
Lu Fei said, "It's just a bear. There is no need to be afraid."
Diao Chan immediately took out a purple brocade pouch and said, "Young Master, you must be careful."
Lu Fei stretched out his hand and took the brocade pouch. He felt that it was heavy in his hand, but he didn't know what was inside. Lu Fei rushed into the bear's cave in two or three steps. He stretched out his hand and touched the inside of the brocade pouch. It turned out to be a bead, but there were many things on the bead. It felt cold to the touch, and he didn't know what it was.
At this moment, a gust of fishy wind blew over as two big black bears pounced over. Lu Fei flew over the heads of the two black bears and saw that there was nothing else in the bear's cave. There was not even anything to hide. There was only a pile of small black bears running around on the ground. Lu Fei raised his head and saw a crack in the rock above the cave. He immediately leaped up and embedded the brocade pouch in his hand into the crack. When he landed, the two black bears pounced over. Lu Fei pushed out his palms to meet the sharp claws of the two black bears. A loud bang sounded in the air, and Lu Fei was forced to retreat. He saw that the purple brocade pouch above his head was too obvious, so he quickly took it down and took out a black bead. He stepped on the head of a black bear and flew up, embedding the bead into the crack in the rock. This way, it was flawless. Even if someone came in personally, they would not be able to see it unless they looked carefully.
After he landed, the two black bears attacked him from the front and back. Lu Fei wanted to jump, but it was too late. He could only exchange a palm with the black bear in front of him. The other bear's paw slapped him from behind. Lu Fei could not help but spit out a small mouthful of blood and flew forward. The bear's strength was too great. If he did not have the protection of his body's True Qi, he was afraid that his flesh would have been scratched.
Diao Chan, who was in the carriage, heard the continuous roars from inside the cave. It seemed that there was more than one black bear. She could not help but feel nervous. She nervously looked at the entrance of the cave, thinking that Lu Fei would not be eaten by the bears. Just as she was letting her imagination run wild, Lu Fei rushed out of the cave. Two big black bears rushed out of the cave, followed by a group of little bears. Lu Fei leaped into the air and landed firmly on the carriage. He quickly drove the carriage towards the main road.
The big black bear dragged its family and chased after Lu Fei for one li before giving up. Lu Fei heaved a sigh of relief. He thought that it was fortunate that they did not chase after him. He was not afraid of being alone, but it was mainly because Diao Chan was in the carriage. If the big black bear caught up, Diao Chan would not have the slightest ability to fight back.
Diao Chan asked with concern, "Young Master Lu, are you injured?"
Lu Fei smiled at her, revealing a mouthful of blood-stained teeth, and said, "It's no big deal."
Diao Chan exclaimed, "You really are injured. Is it serious?"
Lu Fei spat out a mouthful of blood onto the road and said, "It's nothing. I was accidentally hit by a bear. It's just a small injury." He reached out to take a wine jar from the carriage and gulped down a few mouthfuls of wine. He rinsed the blood off his mouth and said, "This black bear is extremely strong. A single slap was enough to make me vomit blood. Your treasure is definitely fine."
Diao Chan's eyes were filled with gratitude, and she said, "Young Master has helped me so much. Diao Chan is truly unable to repay you. When we return this time, I will definitely ask Sir Situ to reward you greatly."
Lu Fei smiled, thinking to himself that it would be best if she repaid him with her body.
Diao Chan thought about how extravagant Lu Fei was and asked curiously, "What does Young Master Lu do for a living? Why does it seem like you have an inexhaustible amount of gold in your bag?"
Lu Fei said, "I have some small business in You Prefecture, so I have some savings."
Diao Chan thought to herself, 'So that's why. In that case, he doesn't lack gold.' She said, "When the time comes, I will ask Sir Situ to give you an official position."
Lu Fei smiled indifferently and said, "I have no interest in being an official. I only hope that Miss Diao Chan can return to Luoyang safely." His words were against his will, and even he himself did not believe them. If he could marry Diao Chan and bring her back to You Prefecture, that would be for the best.
Diao Chan thought for a long time, thinking to herself, 'This person is not greedy for money or power. Could it be …'
Thinking of this, Diao Chan smiled and said, "When we return this time, how about I ask Sir Situ to reward you with ten beauties?"
Lu Fei immediately felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over his head. His heart was in a mess. He thought to himself, 'Who does her heart belong to? Could it be my godfather, Wang Yun? '
Diao Chan saw that he was silent and hurriedly said, "There are countless beauties in Sir Situ's residence. I also have many sisters who are not bad looking. When the time comes, there will definitely be one that you will like."
Lu Fei was disheartened. He smiled indifferently and said, "I was only praising Miss Diao Chan's beauty. How would I dare to have other thoughts? Miss Diao Chan is overthinking."
This time, it was Diao Chan who felt somewhat embarrassed. She said awkwardly, "I misunderstood Young Master Lu. I am truly sorry."
Lu Fei saw that there was a town in front of them and said, "Let's go to that town and write a letter."
