"General, please retreat first!"

Jiu glanced at Master Xu from the corner of his eye, then looked at Bai Yan, cupped his hands and said.

After Master Xu heard that Jiu had left, he just came back to his senses and looked at the young man in front of him with palpitations in his heart.

She had always thought that in front of Lu Sheng and Lu Lu, this young man was too young and sooner or later he would be unable to withstand the temptation and become Lu Sheng and Lu Lu's man.

Only now did she know that from the very beginning, the young man had an insight into Lu Sheng and Lu Lu's plans and had been playing tricks on them.

Lu Sheng and Lu Lu never dreamed that the person who hosted the banquet in the restaurant was Bai Yan himself.

"Master Xu, I have met the general!"

Master Xu nodded and saluted, with a hint of uneasiness in his voice.

Unlike before, at this moment, she no longer dared to look down upon the young man in front of her.

What happened before, plus what happened here in Gao Nu a few days ago, all were done by the young man in front of her. How could she dare to look down on such a person.

"No need to be polite, please sit down!"

Bai Yan smiled, said to Master Xu, and extended his hand to signal.

Because there was only one mat, and previously at the Lu family's residence, Master Xu not only accompanied him, but also poured wine for him at the banquet.

Therefore, there are not so many restrictions now.

Seeing Master Xu obediently come forward, kneel down on the mat next to him, Bai Yan wrote the last annotation on the layout, then took a seal and stamped it.

Master Xu knelt down and sat aside uneasily.

She didn't know how Bai Yan would deal with her after discovering that Yan was Bai Yan.

Just when Master Xu was uneasy.

"Since the girl is with Lu Sheng, she should have heard that I helped Lu Qi before!"

Bai Yan did not look at Master Xu, but said softly while putting away the layout.

There was no opposition between Lu Sheng and him.

He helped Lu Qi before, and also helped Lu Qi develop in Yingchuan County. This had no direct conflict of interest with Lu Sheng. Perhaps the only impact was on some discourse and weight within the Lu clan.

This is not a grudge at all, because when necessary, because of Lu Qi's relationship, he can also be regarded as Lu's connections.

According to Lu Qi, internal fighting is internal fighting, but no matter how the clan members fight among themselves, their connections are still Lu's connections.

"Master Xu knows!"

Master Xu knelt down beside Bai Yan, lowered his head slightly, and answered softly.

After Bai Yan put away the layout, he turned to look at Master Xu with interest.

"The girl is a smart person!"

Bai Yan made it clear: "I don't want Lu Sheng to know that I am Bai Yan!"

At the moment, he doesn't want Lu Sheng to know that he is Bai Yan. At least he won't have to worry about it until he meets King Qin.

"General, don't worry, Master Xu doesn't know anything about what happened today!"

Master Xu raised his beautiful eyes, and when he saw Bai Yan's eyes, he quickly lowered his head again.

Playing the zither in a restaurant, Master Xu is not only talented but also not stupid as a person.

If the young man in front of her was the same as before and was not Bai Yan, she would naturally not dare to disobey Lu Sheng.

But if the person in front of you is Bai Yan, it's a different matter.

Master Xu knew that as long as Bai Yan revealed his identity, not to mention Lu Qi and the Lu Sheng clan, they would hand her over to Bai Yan, even the young shopkeeper Lu Sheng would hand her over to Bai Yan.

Seeing Master Xu's unhesitating look, Bai Yan felt much relieved.

"Can the girl tell Bai Yan that Lu Sheng is in Yuzhong City now?"

Bai Yan asked softly.

Facing Bai Yan's inquiry, Master Xu glanced at Bai Yan secretly and thought for a while.

"The young shopkeeper and Gan Si are in Yuzhong City"

Master Xu opened his mouth and spoke without any concealment, telling what he knew.

After knowing that the boy was Bai Yan, she knew who to listen to, and she felt that even if she didn't say anything, the boy in front of her might have already guessed it.

Under the wooden shed.

As Master Xu slowly told what happened to Lu Sheng, two men wearing Qin armor entered the wooden shed.

"General!"

Huai put a bowl of herbs on the table, and another soldier handed a bamboo slip to Bai Yan: "General, this is the news from General Hu Jin."

Bai Yan heard that it was Hu Jin's bamboo slip. After taking it, he opened it immediately.

"The general was wounded by the sword?"

Master Xu was standing aside and asked softly when he saw Bai Yan drinking medicine.

One sentence made Bai Yan look at Master Xu in surprise, and then looked at the medicine in the bowl.

"Do you know medical skills?"

When Bai Yan said this, he sniffed to make sure he didn't smell anything.

At this time, the way Bai Yan looked at Master Xu became strange. With just one look, Master Xu could tell that he drank medicine and was definitely injured by a sword.

This is surprising!

You know, unlike later generations, most of the herbal medicines nowadays are drunk by soaking in cold water or wine, and rarely boiled in water, so most of them have no taste. Even in his bowl, the color change is not obvious.

Could it be that Master Xu also has medical skills?

If that's the case, you have to think about whether you should find an opportunity to bring Master Xu over and take him with you.

After all, a woman with medical skills is a treasure.

"Master Xu's father is from a sword-making family. Whenever his sword wounds are serious and his tendons are injured, he will take this herbal medicine. Therefore, Master Xu knows some herbal medicines."

Master Xu explained softly, his two slender little hands tightly clasping the corners of his clothes.

"A sword-making family? Xu?"

Bai Yan frowned slightly, then thought of something, turned to look at Master Xu: "The Xu family of Zhao Kingdom?"

In Bai Yan's memory, his mentor Yin Bei once said that there are several famous sword-making families in the world. Among them, the only one with the surname Xu is the Xu family of Zhao State and the head of the family is Mrs. Xu.

Contrary to her name, Mrs. Xu is a burly man.

And after hearing about this incident, after thinking about it for a long time, Bai Yan vaguely remembered that when Yan Dan planned an assassination in the future, he would go to Zhao State with a hundred gold to buy a dagger from Mrs. Xu.

"Aren't you from Qi Ren? That restaurant?"

Bai Yan took the medicine on the table and slowly drank it into his mouth.

Although it has not been boiled and you have to drink the dregs of the medicine together, I have to say that the effect of the medicine is really strong.

While drinking the medicine, Bai Yan waited for Master Xu's answer. Master Xu had played Qi Zheng in the restaurant.

"Master Xu's biological father is Xu Tao, the youngest son of Mrs. Xu. He met Master Xu's mother in Qi State. Master Xu's guzheng was taught by his biological mother."

When Master Xu said this, a hint of weakness appeared on his fair and pretty face, and then he looked at Bai Yan: "Mrs. Xu was dissatisfied with her mother's background, so after her father died, she expelled her biological mother from the Xu family. Master Xu also returned here to play guzheng.

Make a living."

After Bai Yan listened to Master Xu's words, he turned to look at Master Xu.

Master Xu's mother was good at guzheng, and her background made Mrs. Xu particularly concerned. Bai Yan also roughly guessed that Master Xu's mother was probably the same as Master Xu.

"Then you also have medical skills?"

Bai Yan asked, since you know herbal medicine, do you know how to treat diseases?

Under Bai Yan's gaze, Master Xu hesitated for a long time, and finally looked at Bai Yan cautiously.

"No! But because the Xu family made swords and had a close relationship with doctors, when my father was still alive, Master Xu learned from it"

Master Xu said submissively, lowering his head even lower. "A lot of poison!"

After finishing speaking, Master Xu was very nervous and did not dare to breathe.

"poison?"

Bai Yan looked at Master Xu strangely.

Although Master Xu didn't say it explicitly, Master Xu was saying that she was a poison master!

Looking at this young and fair-skinned Master Xu, he turned out to be a poison master.

If there is anything in today's world that is more disgusting than embalmers and thieves, it must be the poison master.

Compared with the stench of the undertakers and the curses of thieves, poison masters are inherently fearful and frightening, so they stay away.
