Chapter 303 Thousands of People and Thousands of Faces
Seeing the writing on the table, both the master and the apprentice were startled, and immediately stepped back, knocking over the bench under their respective buttocks.
Doctor Xue pointed his sword at Li Xuan and shouted righteously:
"Where is the monster?"
"Why don't you reveal your true colors quickly!"
If Imperial Physician Xue's words were not matched by his steps of constantly holding back, I am afraid they would be even more powerful.
"And why does he meow and reveal his true form? This is my true form, okay?"
Seeing the fuss made by the master and apprentice, Li Xuan couldn't help showing a speechless expression.
"I am not a monster, I am an auspicious spiritual beast. I advise you not to talk nonsense."
"Also, I'm here to help Doctor Fang."
Li Xuan added two more lines and explained reluctantly.
Li Xuan was used to communicating with people who knew his ins and outs, and suddenly communicating with outsiders made Li Xuan feel particularly strenuous.
First, let them accept that they are a cat who can write. This simple fact can greatly impact their poor common sense.
Ayimu on the bed looked at this side curiously, and they were speechless. They just said anxiously, "Aba, Aba," wondering what happened to make the master and apprentice, who had been so critical of themselves before, so uneasy.
"Isn't it just a little black cat?"
Ayimu was puzzled.
From her perspective, she couldn't see the writing on the table, so she couldn't understand why the master and apprentice had such a big reaction.
Doctor Xue and Fang Muyang stared blankly at the writing on the table and looked at each other, full of unbelievable surprise.
The two of them have lived for nearly a hundred years together, and they have never seen a cat that can write.
"Master, this..."
After all, Fang Muyang is a disciple. When he can't make up his mind, he asks his master to come forward and solve the problem.
"hiss--"
"Auspicious spirit beast?"
Doctor Xue looked undecided. He twisted his beard and frowned. He moved slowly and came to Fang Muyang's side, with his butt facing the door.
Doctor Xue had one hand behind his back at this time, and Li Xuan had already guessed that he was on guard against himself.
After all, if a cat suddenly jumps in front of you and writes something like this, ordinary people will be wary of it.
The human race simply and crudely divides the beast race into monster beasts and spiritual beasts.
The two have one thing in common, that is, they are both very capable orcs.
Those that can be used by humans are spiritual beasts, and those that cannot be used by humans are monster beasts.
After all, it is the standard set by the human race themselves, so no wonder they are so subjective.
According to Doctor Xue's common sense, the possibility of monsters appearing in the capital is extremely low.
But even if it wasn't a monster that harmed people at will, he still had to be vigilant.
It is obvious that an orc with such intelligence cannot be raised by ordinary people.
"Muyang, did you just say that you had met the owner of this cat?"
Doctor Xue asked his apprentice.
"That's right, it's a teenage girl in a wheelchair, followed by a group of powerful guards."
"I found the cat at Hu Yulou last night and sent it back to them. They came here to thank me for this in the morning."
"But that little girl seems to have some doubts about me."
In such a strange situation, Fang Muyang did not dare to hide anything for fear of interfering with his master's judgment.
Upon hearing Fang Muyang's words, Imperial Physician Xue was stunned, frowned and looked at Fang Muyang, confirming:
"A teenage girl? In a wheelchair? With a black cat? And with bodyguards to protect her?"
"Is there another maid who is a few years older than the little girl?"
Fang Muyang thought for a while and then immediately remembered: "Yes, there is also a maid pushing a wheelchair, who is a few years older than the little girl."
"Master, do you know them?"
Doctor Xue had already thought of something at this time, and asked Li Xuan uncertainly:
"Jingyang Palace?"
Li Xuan nodded gently.
Doctor Xue's reaction was quite quick, and he could guess their identities just by looking at these characteristics.
Seeing Li Xuan nod, Doctor Xue was first surprised that Li Xuan could still understand human speech.
"I have long heard that His Highness Ankang is good at taming animals. It turns out that you, a little kitten, is so smart."
Doctor Xue took courage, took a step forward, and looked at Li Xuan in amazement.
"Your Highness Ankang?"
Fang Muyang was full of surprise.
"The little girl you met before is the current Thirteenth Princess, Her Royal Highness Princess Ankang."
Doctor Xue waved to Fang Muyang and asked him to sit down again. He also moved the stool and sat back to his original position.
"Master..."
Fang Muyang winked at Imperial Physician Xue, still wary of Li Xuan.
"Forget it, if they really wanted to harm us, they would have launched a sneak attack long ago."
"The sound the little black cat made just now through the window was already a knock on the door."
Doctor Xue seemed open-minded. Perhaps he knew Li Xuan's origin at this time, and was more curious about him than wary.
"Little guy, did you mean what Princess Ankang meant by these words just now?"
Doctor Xue asked as soon as he came up.
At this time, Li Xuan just pretended that he didn't understand what he said and didn't react at all.
Seeing Li Xuan's reaction, Doctor Xue secretly thought:
"This kitten is still pretending to be stupid with me. I have never heard of such intelligence."
Doctor Xue has not set foot in Jingyang Palace for a long time.
Except for diagnosing the young Princess Ankang once before, I have never seen Princess Ankang again since then.
Doctor Xue felt guilty about Princess Ankang.
He was completely helpless about Princess Ankang's condition, which was unworthy of his reputation as the chief of the hospital.
Doctor Xue couldn't even understand Princess Ankang's illness, let alone treat it.
Imperial Physician Xue could only judge by the speed of Princess Ankang's physical deterioration, so he concluded that Princess Ankang would not survive the age of eighteen.
Regarding this conclusion, Imperial Physician Xue is quite confident.
It was even said that Doctor Xue was optimistic about the age limit of eighteen.
At first, Li Xuan chose to help Fang Muyang just to express his loyalty and the wishes of Princess Ankang.
But when he heard that Dr. Xue was Fang Muyang's master, he had another reason to help Fang Muyang.
Princess Ankang's body has become healthier and healthier, and sooner or later there will come a time when she can no longer hide it.
Before that, Li Xuan needed to find a reasonable reason for Princess Ankang to recover.
Li Xuan believed that Doctor Xue in front of him was the most reasonable reason.
At this time, Fang Muyang had also sat down. When he saw Imperial Physician Xue and Li Xuan staring at each other with ulterior motives, he couldn't help but ask Li Xuan:
"What on earth do you mean?"
Fang Muyang pointed to the handwriting written by Li Xuan on the table.
"Literally, I have heard about you outside."
"I'm also very unhappy with Zhao Si, but he's hiding at home now. I just came out of Zhao's house. You can't go in and kill him on your own."
Li Xuan wrote with certainty.
He could detect that Fang Muyang had a weak energy of blood in his body. Optimistically, he estimated that he might have the strength of the ninth grade.
Moreover, the power of Qi and blood in Fang Muyang's body is exactly the same as that of Imperial Physician Xue, and is extremely gentle.
Li Xuan guessed that the master and the apprentice were practicing special techniques dedicated to maintaining health or treating diseases and injuries, so the strength on their bodies was so gentle.
When Li Xuan was reading martial arts experience before, he saw that among the five elements, water and wood attributes have special effects on recovering injuries.
Doctor Xue and Fang Muyang, the master-disciple pair, most likely followed this path.
Seeing the handwriting written by Li Xuan, Fang Muyang couldn't help but darken his eyes.
He also knew Zhao Si's situation very well.
Fang Muyang did not expect that Zhao Si was so timid. As soon as Hou San's accident happened, he thought of why he was targeted by the so-called female ghost, and then hid in the house without coming out.
If Fang Muyang wants to kill Zhao Si, he must have a chance to get close.
Even if you can't get close to Zhao Si himself, you can still get close to where he usually is.
In this case, Fang Muyang can let Zhao Si jump into the fire pit by himself, just like he killed Zhou's mother.
But now, whether it is getting close to Zhao Si or entering the Zhao mansion, Fang Muyang cannot do it.
Regarding the matter of revenge, Fang Muyang did not do it as a last resort and did not want to take advantage of others.
He had done many things wrong, and he didn't want to do the last thing he could do for Sissi too.
"What will it cost me?"
Fang Muyang asked Li Xuan seriously.
Li Xuan shook his head, and then continued to write with his tail:
"It's just a rough road, just make a friend."
"Maybe there will be times in the future when I need your help."
Fang Muyang shook his head and said, "I may not have a future."
"Muyang, what nonsense are you talking about!"
Doctor Xue scolded.
"Sissi has done so much for you, does she just want you to end up like that?"
Doctor Xue cursed, hating that iron cannot become steel.
At this time, Ayimu who was on the bed also joined in the fun. She dragged her weak body up from the bed and sat on the empty seat at the table.
Ayimu said "Abba, Ababa" twice and pointed to his mouth.
Fang Muyang saw that she seemed to have something to say, so he relieved her mute point.
Ayimu then looked at Doctor Xue and pointed at the silver needle on his body.
"I really want to heal your injury."
Doctor Xue explained helplessly.
Ayimu nodded, then squeezed out the last strength in his body, and slapped him hard.
Snapped!
A clear voice sounded.
Fang Muyang turned his head to the side numbly, his cheeks already flushed.
"Fang Muyang, do you know why Qianqian preferred death to surrender after she was ransomed?"
"If she had just been patient that night, maybe she would have been fine."
Ayimu asked Fang Muyang coldly.
Fang Muyang lowered his eyelids to hide his sadness, but still replied softly:
"Sissi, she..."
"She has been redeemed and is now a member of the innocent family."
"She is observing the festival for me..."
"But I actually don't..."
Snapped!
Ayimu's strength came out of nowhere and slapped Fang Muyang again.
"That was the most precious thing she felt she could give you."
Fang Muyang was stunned, he had never realized this.
After Ayimu gave Fang Muyang two slaps, he lay back on the bed with his back to everyone.
The room was silent.
Fang Muyang was stunned and didn't know what he was thinking. He could only see tears falling from his eyes.
Li Xuan and Doctor Xue both looked at him silently without disturbing him.
At this time, Ayimu, who was lying on the bed, suddenly said:
"After you die, no one will know how precious the last thing Sissi left in the world is."
Li Xuan couldn't help but look at Ayimu's back, and suddenly felt that Hu Yulou's new oiran might be cooperating with Fang Muyang not just out of profit considerations.
Ayimu may also know Sissi.
Maybe they didn't know each other for a long time, but it was enough for Ayimu to say such words for Sissi.
"Thank you, Miss Ayimu."
Fang Muyang wiped away his tears silently, then looked at Li Xuan and asked:
"How can you help me?"
Before Li Xuan answered, he asked Fang Muyang a question.
"Do you want to deal with Zhao Si yourself?"
Fang Muyang nodded extremely seriously.
Doctor Xue just sighed silently, but didn't say much.
Li Xuan had already expected it.
In fact, the easiest way is for Li Xuan to help Fang Muyang.
But Li Xuan also anticipated Fang Muyang's desire to personally deal with Zhao Si.
After all, revenge is the most satisfying thing to do yourself.
Li Xuan didn't show off when he was alone. He flicked his tail and threw something out of the Emperor Hong Bone Ring.
Several exquisite human skin masks appeared on the table.
Doctor Xue's eyes twitched, he picked up one of the human skin masks and said in surprise:
"This quality..."
Doctor Xue knew it was something from the palace just by touching it.
"Zhao Si has been acting strangely recently, and he was injured again today. You can use the opportunity of practicing medicine to get close to him."
"Of course, use a slight disguise to hide your true identity."
Li Xuan lifted up the writing tail, and then there was a special human skin mask on the tail.
There are only a few small holes on this human skin mask, corresponding to the positions of the eyes and mouth, and there are no other details after that. It looks like an unfinished work.
But it was only later that Li Xuan learned that this human skin mask was actually the most valuable.
He handed the human skin mask to Fang Muyang's hand, and then continued to write:
"You can also choose to use this human skin mask to pretend to be someone from the Zhao family, and then get close to Zhao Si."
Fang Muyang looked at the slightly rough human skin mask in his hand, looking a little confused.
At this time, Doctor Xue exclaimed first.
"Is this 'Thousands of People, Thousand Faces'!?"
That's right, this human skin mask has its own name: Thousands of People and Thousands of Faces.
This human skin mask has strong plasticity and recovery properties, and is a rare treasure for those who are involved in disguise.
Li Xuan also later learned about the function of this treasure from Manager Shang.
You can perfect the details of this human skin mask by yourself, and after a few days, the human skin mask will return to its original state.
In other words, "Thousand People and Thousand Faces" is a human skin mask that can be reused and customized as much as you like.
Unlike other human skin masks, once the specific details are perfected, they can no longer be changed.
You know, the materials and processes used to make human skin masks are very complex.
Every human skin mask is a rare treasure.
And "Thousand People and Thousand Faces" is the best among human skin masks.
Doctor Xue told Fang Muyang about the function of "Thousands of People and Thousands of Faces", and he was obviously moved after hearing it.
Whether he uses an ordinary human skin mask, pretending to be another doctor who comes to practice medicine, or uses "thousands of people and thousands of faces" to pretend to be someone from the Zhao family to approach Zhao Si, the probability of success is very high.
And Li Xuan noticed with his peripheral vision that Ayimu on the bed pricked up his ears at some point.
It seems that she is also very interested in "Thousands of People and Thousands of Faces".
"As doctors, it shouldn't be difficult for you to make a personal leather mask, right?"
Li Xuan was not worried that Imperial Physician Xue and Fang Muyang would not be able to depict the details of human faces.
The master and apprentice both nodded, indicating that it was not difficult for them.
Now it depends on how Fang Muyang chooses.
Li Xuan and Doctor Xue silently turned to look at Fang Muyang, waiting for his decision.
Fang Muyang thought for a long time, and then slowly said:
"Can you lend me two?"
