Chapter 180 Time Limit of the Task

When several guards were patted by him like this, they felt that they were all lighter, and the excitement in their hearts was even more extreme. They just wanted to run back to the barracks and brag about the praise from Chu Shuai to their companions - this kind of respect and recognition cannot be exchanged for no amount of money.

One of the clever guards was afraid that the people inside would not recognize Chu Zheng’s misunderstanding, so they followed him in and reported it all the way.

So this time Chu Zheng entered Guo Xiang's room and sat in front of her bed. The maids who took care of Guo Xiang did not dare to stop him.

Shi Qijian was there as well. Although Chu Zheng's appearance changed greatly, his body and voice did not change. Shi Qijian still recognized him and quickly bowed.

Seeing that Guo Xiang's eyes were still closed, and his little face was pale and thin because he hadn't seen the sun for too long. Fortunately, his breathing was stable. He was not much weaker than before he left. It must have been the credit of Shi Qiyi, so he politely said to him, then turned his head and said, "Senior Brother, please give me."

Su Xinghe saw that Chu Zheng attached great importance to the girl and did not dare to take it lightly. He took Guo Xiang's pulse carefully, and gently pierced her fingers, squeezed out a drop of blood to mix with other potions. After observing for a while, he smiled: "Don't worry, Master, I'm sure to cure it. This girl will wake up tomorrow at the latest and get out of bed and walk in five days."

"Thank you, senior brother."

Chu Zheng's hand, which had been holding the edge of the bed, was loosened.

Su Xinghe noticed that the solid wood bed board showed deep fingerprints, and was secretly surprised. He paid three more attention to the unconscious girl on the bed: "You are polite to the head."

Su Xinghe took out more than a dozen medicinal herbs from the medicine box and asked him to take them to the kitchen to boil the medicine himself.

Chu Zheng ignored Shi Qizhen's pursuit and recognizing Su Xinghe, but just sat quietly beside the bed, looking at Guo Xiang's slightly thin but still extremely beautiful face.

The maids had great vision and quietly retreated and closed the door.

The winter sun shines through the thin window paper, and the charcoal fire beside the bed burns, which makes Xiao Guoxiang's originally pale face look a little red. Her pink skin is like an apple that has just begun to mature, making people love it.

Chu Zheng reached out to caress Guo Xiang's hair. The smoothness between his fingers seemed to take away his dust and tiredness, but it made him feel a little irritated, and even wanted to retreat, but he couldn't help but want to hold it in his hand.

I don’t know if I felt the tenderness of his fingertips, but Xiao Guoxiang’s beautiful eyebrows, which were still slightly frowning in his sleep, slowly unfolded.

Chu Zheng's mood seemed to be brisk.

He sat on the head of the bed, gently stroking Guo Xiang's hair. After a while, a golden eagle suddenly flew out of the window and landed on his shoulder.

Chu Zheng opened the letter paper and saw Qin Ruyunjuan's embroidered handwriting jumping into his eyes:

"The mission time limit is only ten days left. If you don't come, I will take someone else to try it first. The longer the task is, the more difficult it will be."

Qin Ruyun has always kept in touch with him these days, so she is more clear about his situation. After he defeated Li Zitong's troops, Qin Ruyun did not mention asking him to leave Suizhou for refuge immediately. Until today, she once again urged him to do that extremely special task.

This has been delayed for nearly ten days longer than the originally agreed time. Chu Zheng felt a little guilty and grateful to Qin Ruyun, and remembered Cheng Lingsu who was still waiting for him in a distant town. Thinking of the ten-year life span of the thin girl for him, he replied decisively: "Thank you. I will definitely go to Yancheng, Qingzhou to meet you within ten days."

...

After taking the medicine, Guo Xiang's face improved significantly after acupuncture, and even the low fever subsided. Chu Zheng used the real qi to help her strengthen her foundation and restore her vitality. Judging from Guo Xiang's appearance, it was estimated that she would either be in the middle of the night or she should be able to wake up tomorrow morning.

Chu Zheng asked Su Xinghe to rest, and personally fed Guo Xiang who was still sleeping and drank ginseng soup, so he got up and prepared to leave.

Of course, he wanted to accompany Guo Xiang until he woke up, but it was really bad to stay in the girl's boudoir late at night, and it had a great impact on Guo Xiang's reputation. So as the night was getting darker, Chu Zheng instructed the three maids to take good care of Guo Xiang and notify him immediately if there was any movement, and then he went to the room next to him to rest.

Not long after he returned to the room, Kou Zhong rushed in like a whirlwind, and without saying a word, he gave Chu Zheng a bear hug. Xu Ziling followed behind him with a smile on his face.

Kou Zhong looked at Chu Zheng's eyes and said with a smile: "Brother Chu, you have become really handsome. Now Ziling is so shameless that he calls himself the most beautiful man in Liangdu!"

Xu Ziling laughed and scolded: "You are the young man, you call yourself the most beautiful man in Liangdu!"

Kou Zhong laughed loudly, ignored Xu Ziling, and pulled Chu Zheng down: "Brother Chu, you gave me two big gifts this time! Hey, there are no more characters like Li Zitong and Xu Yuanlang in Suizhou!"

When Chu Zheng asked, he learned that Kou Zhong personally led 200 cavalrymen to catch up with Xu Yuanlang in the afternoon, killed him in one fell swoop, and even arranged nearly 3,000 surrendered soldiers.

"Congratulations to the young marshal, unification of the world is just around the corner."

Seeing Chu Zheng winking at him, Kou Zhong beat him and said happily: "I heard that you have gained great progress in the inherited martial arts of the Xiaoyao Sect? Come on, let me see it."

People in the world who mention "see" your martial arts are mostly provocative and dissatisfied, but for Kou Zhong, Chu Zheng only feels intimate and sincere and straightforward in his heart.

"In fact, it's just decades of skill and two internal skills. I have to thank Ziling for solving a big problem for me." Chu Zheng briefly said the effects of Beiming Divine Art and Xiao Wuxiang Gong: "I can explain in detail what you want to learn."

"What does it mean to have only been a few decades of skill?" Kou Zhong shouted: "Xiao Wuxianggong is really interested, but now I am going to set off for Jiangdu, and I will talk about it when I come back."

Chu Zheng's eyes lit up: "Do you want to get Jiangdu?"

Kou Zhong waved his hand with great enthusiasm: "Yes, Ziling has told me your suggestions. Fortunately, I have brought dozens of boats these days, otherwise the gift you gave me would be impossible to accept. I will set off later and take the night to lead my troops down the river. I can reach Jiangdu before dawn. Now there are no leaders in Jiangdu, which is a good time to replace it!"

Chu Zheng wanted to take Jiangdu and give it to Kou Zhong, which was a favor, so he said, "How about I go, Tianliangdu needs someone to take charge after the attack and defense of the war and straighten out everything."

After the war, Liangdu rectified his troops, absorbed surrendered soldiers, and rewarded merits and other things, although it was messy and troublesome, it was the best opportunity to establish authority. Compared to fighting a relaxed battle, Chu Zheng felt that Kou Zhong was more suitable for staying in Liang.

Kou Zhong shook his head: "I am the most familiar with the terrain of Jiangdu, and I have many people I know in Li Zitong's remnants. It is best to attract them to accept Jiangdu in full. After I leave, Ziling will go to Pengcheng to preside over the reconstruction matter, so Liangdu will be handed over to you. And I heard that your beautiful and cute senior sister is about to wake up, and she must want to see you the most after she wakes up."
