Rural Mad Doctor

Chapter 588 Traitor Within the Imperial Family

Kim Mi-joo had just taken a picture of the tree branches and was now comparing it with the previous photos.

The round trip only takes half an hour, and the small tree branches are all refreshed.

They couldn't help but feel amazed!

No wonder Cao Erdan was willing to cooperate with Cao Erdan; he really has the ability!

This time, neither of them doubted the profitability of cooperating with Cao Erdan, and both readily agreed to sign a contract with him.

Furthermore, both Catherine and Kim Mi-joo plan to set up a branch office in Yangcheng, so they will not be leaving for the time being.

That night,

Catherine, Kim Mi-joo, Qin Lu, and Song Qian all live in Cao Erdan's villa.

Despite the abundance of beautiful women, they actually kept each other in check, and as a result, Cao Erdan spent the night alone.

No one dared to come and sleep with him.

Even Li Mengdie didn't come over.

Cao Er spent his days worrying about business, but at night he needed to refine some pills.

It not only served as an aid to his own Qi cultivation, but also to help Liu Jichang, Huang Benchu, Zhang Dazhu, and others refine some.

This trip to Juxian Mountain was very rewarding.

We can't keep everything to ourselves; we need to help everyone improve their skills as quickly as possible.

Because success is impossible without strong assistants.

……

Not to mention Cao Erdan's busyness in his hometown, after he left, the imperial palace in the capital was also bustling with activity.

Liao Kai went into seclusion to help Su Yi calm down and focus on his studies.

He personally led men to guard the general's mansion.

All the Divine Realm experts from the Imperial Clan in the capital were transferred here and stationed on the left and right sides of the General's Mansion.

On the surface, the General's Mansion remained as peaceful as ever.

but,

With Liao Kai and many other experts gathered, the atmosphere here became exceptionally tense.

In each of the local branches, the governors are all experts at the Divine Realm, while at the Imperial Gate headquarters in the capital, there are naturally quite a few experts at the Divine Realm.

Aside from those who were out on missions, Liao Kai mobilized the remaining six experts who had reached the Divine Realm to the General's Mansion.

Among them, he valued two people the most: one was Miao Yijian, and the other was Fang Yunzhou.

These two can be considered Liao Kai's right and left arms.

Normally, he is in charge of the Imperial Gate branch in two districts of the capital.

right now,

They all put down their work and came here to protect the old war god.

Su Yi's seclusion this time is related to the future fate of the Imperial Family.

Therefore, there can be no mistakes whatsoever.

Liao Kai also knew that the Black Wind Society and some wealthy families were hoping for the old general's passing.

From then on, they could act with impunity.

If they get the news, they might send people over to cause trouble.

Everyone perked up and took up positions to guard around the general's mansion.

Miao Yijian and Fang Yunzhou were assigned to the back playground.

Both of them are veterans who have made great contributions in the past.

The scars on Fang Yunzhou's face and body represent his loyalty to the imperial family.

Miao Yijian was younger than him and was taught by Fang Yunzhou, so he respected him very much.

at this time,

Miao Yijian brought over a pot of tea and poured it for Fang Yunzhou:

"Brother Fang, it's rare that we've been put in the same group. We're usually busy with our own things and don't have time to chat. Let's have a good talk tonight!"

Fang Yunzhou glanced at Miao Yijian expressionlessly.

He sighed and said, "Yes, we've known each other for over twenty years, and we rarely have the chance to have a quiet chat like this!"

Seeing that no one was around, Fang Yunzhou asked Miao Yijian:

"Brother Miao, do you regret bringing me into the imperial court?"

Miao Yijian waved his hand: "How can I talk about regret? I feel extremely honored to serve the country. I also want to thank Brother Fang for guiding me onto the right path!"

Fang Yunzhou gave a wry smile: "Serving the country inevitably means neglecting your family. Don't your wife and son complain that you don't have time to spend with them?"

Miao Yijian shook his head: "Your sister-in-law is busier than me. She's the head nurse at the hospital and often works overtime. As for my son, I don't care about him, and he's actually more at ease! Nobody complains about me!"

Fang Yunzhou nodded and looked up at the night sky.

Then he looked at the big house behind him, where General Su Yi was in seclusion.

Seeing that he seemed to be preoccupied and wanted to speak, Miao Yijian couldn't help but ask:

"What's wrong, Brother Fang? Is your wife upset with you?"

Fang Yunzhou shook his head: "We've been divorced for three years, but we haven't told anyone. She's raising our son alone now, and we haven't been in contact for a long time!"

Miao Yijian was taken aback, then reached out and patted Fang Yunzhou on the shoulder.

I really don't know what to say to comfort him right now.

Fang Yunzhou suddenly laughed: "It's better not to have family, it's so liberating! It's late at night, brother, go get some sleep, I'll keep watch by myself. Actually, I think General Liao Kai is overthinking things. In the capital, who would dare to cause trouble at the residence of the Protector General? They'd be asking for trouble!"

Miao Yijian shook his head: "It's better to be careful! I'm not tired either, let's keep watch together!"

Fang Yunzhou's expression was somewhat unnatural.

He picked up the teapot and poured a cup for Miao Yijian.

The two chatted and drank tea.

Miao Yijian suddenly felt a little dizzy and lightheaded.

He whispered to Fang Yunzhou, "Brother Fang, I think I've been ambushed. Do you feel weak? Someone might have poisoned my tea!"

Fang Yunzhou picked up the teapot to look at it, then shook his head and said, "No, are you tired? Why don't you rest here for a while, and I'll go for a walk."

Miao Yijian rubbed his head and slumped onto the table:

"Then I'll rest for a while!"

"Well, go to sleep!"

Fang Yunzhou suddenly delivered a heavy punch, smashing it down on the back of Miao Yijian's head.

A master of the Divine Realm can easily shatter stone tablets and kill a person with a single punch.

Just as his hand was about to strike Miao Yijian on the back of the head, Miao Yijian suddenly dodged to the side.

He slammed his fist on the stone table.

"Click"

One corner of the stone table was broken off.

Miao Yijian sneered and jumped out:

"Fang Yunzhou, after twenty years of friendship with you, how could you treat me so cruelly?"

Fang Yunzhou was astonished: "You weren't poisoned?"

Miao Yijian laughed: "Judging from your expression, I know you have something you're hiding. How could I not have seen you put drugs in my teapot? I even spilled the tea on my clothes."

Fang Yunzhou looked over and, sure enough, Miao Yijian's front was wet.

Firstly, he was guilty and lacked observation skills; secondly, it was dark, and he didn't realize that Miao Yijian had already suspected him.

Fang Yunzhou gritted his teeth: "I'm sorry, brother, if you don't die tonight, I won't be able to kill Su Yi. If Su Yi doesn't die, my wife and children will all die!"

Miao Yijian asked, "Didn't your wife and children leave you?"

Fang Yunzhou felt a sharp pain in his heart.

His wife was a spy from Japan who had been with him for many years and had long since instilled in him a dissatisfaction with his own country.

Ultimately, the child also leans towards the mother.

Now, his wife and children are all with the Black Wind Society. If he doesn't kill Su Yi, he will never see him again.

Inoue Kawanishi of the Black Wind Society promised him a large sum of money and a high-ranking position, so he disregarded his long-standing friendship with Miao Yijian and decided to take drastic measures.

He then drew a short knife from his waist.

With a low growl, the blade flashed with light for over ten feet, and he slashed at Miao Yijian.

Miao Yijian had already drawn his sword and unleashed a powerful, overwhelming sword strike to block Fang Yunzhou's steel blade.

The brilliant light emitted by the two weapons clashed in mid-air.

"Pong"

The two men each took three steps back, neither gaining the upper hand.

Just then, two people pounced out from the shadows.

Two long swords, swift as lightning, attacked Fang Yunzhou simultaneously.

It turned out to be a Divine Realm expert from the Royal Gate headquarters who was protecting Su Yi.
