Chapter 237, First Warrior

Qiao Zihan stood still.

He was caught between a rock and a hard place, completely dumbfounded!

Originally, they asked Chen Yang to treat Nalan Ying's illness, but now it has suddenly turned into Chen Yang wanting to break Nalan Ying up.

And they showed no mercy to the patient, tearing everything down completely!

Nalan Ying had only talked about demolishing her clinic before, but she hadn't actually done anything about it. Why did Chen Yang take it seriously?

Nalan Ying was just bluffing, but Chen Yang is now taking it seriously and using real force!

Qiao Zihan, the most famous female physician in the Ming Dynasty palace, had never seen such a situation before, as she had been devoted to medicine.

Qiao Zihan turned to leave when suddenly a hand grabbed hers.

Qiao Zihan was startled and looked at Nalan Ying, only to see Nalan Ying gripping Qiao Zihan's hand tightly, giving her a thumbs-up, and saying indistinctly, "Master Qiao! Your clinic is wonderful! Your employees are even more amazing! I will never demolish your clinic again, I will reward you handsomely!"

"I'll reward you with pills and spirit stones later!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Yang immediately asked, "Wouldn't it be alright if we just exchanged them for spirit stones?"

Nalan Ying, holding Qiao Zihan's hand, quickly said, "Alright, alright! I'll give you all the spirit stones! If you can cure her, I'll give you ten thousand spirit stones!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Yang's anger vanished instantly.

My goodness, she's a rich woman! She just asked for ten thousand spirit stones!

This kind of woman needs proper treatment!

The only one present who was dissatisfied was Qiao Zihan. She couldn't shake off Nalan Ying's hand and could only stand there and wait silently for more than half an hour.

After the treatment was completed.

Nalan Ying suddenly started sobbing.

After crying, she let out a long breath and immediately felt refreshed, all her ailments gone, and she felt more comfortable and healthy than ever before.

Chen Yang was full of doubts. He looked at the incredibly beautiful woman in front of him and couldn't help but ask, "Miss Nalan, judging from your behavior just now, you're neither a chaste and virtuous woman nor a conservative person. Since you're so eager, why don't you find a man? You certainly don't lack suitors."

Nalan Ying sighed deeply and said, "There's nothing I can do! My parents forced me to marry my current husband. He's very strong, but he was born a eunuch, so he's completely incapable!"

"But he always liked to feed me aphrodisiac pills. He's a complete pervert! He's happy to see me in pain and depressed. He always calls me a slut and tortures me, but he absolutely won't allow any other man to touch me!"

"I did secretly contact my ex-boyfriend once before, and we were very discreet, but he still found out! He cut off my boyfriend's head and forced me to use his head as a bowl to eat for a whole week!"

"After that, I became even more depressed, to the point that I developed malignant sores all over my body."

After hearing this, Chen Yang suddenly understood and nodded, saying, "I see! No wonder you could suppress yourself to such an extent!"

Qiao Zihan, standing nearby, felt even greater admiration for Chen Yang. She gave him a thumbs-up and said, "Lord Chen, your medical skills are truly amazing! You knew the cause of the illness with just one glance!"

Nalan Ying nodded hurriedly and said, "Yes! Dr. Qiao, your Lord Chen's medical skills are too good. He can see the cause of the illness at a glance, and he treats it even better! Please don't let him go. I will come for treatment every now and then!"

Qiao Zihan was speechless for a moment.

Not long after, Nalan Ying walked out of the clinic looking radiant.

More than thirty of Nalan Ying's personal guards stood outside the clinic.

Qiao Zihan waved her hand and said, "This clinic has superb medical skills, and the owner, Qiao Zihan, is especially patient, gentle, and possesses unique medical expertise! I'm awarding her ten thousand spirit stones! Also, tell everyone else that this place is under my protection, and no one is allowed to come and harass it!"

Those below dared not disobey and immediately agreed. They then escorted Nalan Ying onto a luxurious carriage, which rumbled away.

Qiao Zihan received 10,000 spirit stones and was touching the box, about to speak, when Chen Yang walked over, took the box, and put it directly into his storage ring.

Chen Yang grinned at Qiao Zihan and said, "Hehe, Master Qiao, although Nalan Ying just said it was a reward for you, I did all the work during the entire treatment. I bled and sweated to heal her, so these ten thousand spirit stones should be mine, right?"

Qiao Zihan's face flushed red, and she couldn't help but glare at Chen Yang, saying, "Look at how stingy you are! I'm not going to fight you for spirit stones! Besides, I don't think you put in much effort during the whole treatment; you seemed to be enjoying it!"

Chen Yang immediately clapped his hands and said, "You don't understand! How could a woman understand a man's hardships? Come on, I need to take a shower!"

Qiao Zihan watched Chen Yang's retreating figure, and could no longer hold back. Her legs went weak, and she slumped onto the stool, unable to get up.

After a while, Qiao Zihan slowly got up and went back to her room to take a shower and change clothes.

Chen Yang did not intend to stay in Yangguan City for long.

However, considering that Nalan Ying said she would come to the clinic often for treatment before leaving, her husband might follow her there, and this matter would eventually affect the clinic.

In the afternoon.

Chen Yang found Qiao Zihan and said, "Imperial Physician Qiao, I am about to depart for the Royal Court. It is too dangerous for you to stay here any longer! Yangguan City has now fallen, and I have taken the spirit stones you were guarding. Your mission here is over. I will have three eunuchs from the Eastern Depot escort you back to the capital."

Qiao Zihan nodded and said, "Thank you for your concern, Lord Chen. I will pack my things and set off for home tomorrow."

Chen Yang nodded and said, "Okay."

Just then, screams suddenly came from outside the clinic!

Chen Yang and Qiao Zihan rushed to the entrance of the clinic, where they saw five Manchu cavalrymen in full armor dragging seventeen or eighteen former Ming Dynasty residents of Yangguan City on the ground with chains!

There was also a four-year-old child who was lifted up by one of the Manchu knights with a golden spear, carried on his shoulder, and laughed triumphantly!

Upon seeing this, Chen Yang's brows furrowed instantly, and a murderous intent surged forth!

Qiao Zihan quickly grabbed Chen Yang's hand and said, "Lord Chen! Please don't be impulsive! There are many cultivators from the Manchu Kingdom in Yangguan City, and you are no match for them! Moreover, the current administrator of Yangguan City is Gelu, the number one warrior of the Great Manchu Kingdom!"

"Nagru is not only powerful, but also extremely cautious and ruthless, always eliminating any potential threats! Lord Chen, please bear with it and avoid causing further trouble!"

At this moment, Ujina spoke up, "So this place is managed by Gru! That guy Gru loves killing people, and he also likes to carve all sorts of objects and ornaments out of human bones. It's disgusting!"

Qiao Zihan looked at Ujina and said, "Mrs. Chen also knows about Gru?"

After calling her Madam Chen, Qiao Zihan couldn't help but feel speechless for a moment. She suddenly realized that Chen Yang's treatment method was really unfair to his wife.

Ujina absolutely must not find out about this.

After all, it was he who called Chen Yang over to treat Nalan Ying.

Ujina knew nothing about it; she simply nodded and said, "Of course I know! Gru is the number one warrior in the Manchu Kingdom, with extremely high cultivation, and he also married the most beautiful woman in the Manchu Kingdom. He's a very famous hero throughout the entire Manchu Kingdom!"

"He appears strong on the surface, but in reality, he is a treacherous, ruthless, and vicious villain who does the most heinous things! Many people have tried to kill him before, and the Ming Dynasty even sent many experts to assassinate him, but he managed to evade them all!"

"This guy is not only incredibly strong, but it's also said that he never shows his true form. Even his personal guards don't know where he's hiding!"

Chen Yang had originally intended to kill the iron cavalry directly, but upon hearing Ujina's words, he frowned and said, "Isn't this a bit troublesome? I was originally planning to kill this bastard Gru, so it seems I need to find him first?"

Qiao Zihan hesitated for a moment before speaking, "Finding Gru isn't difficult! Gru is currently ordering a city-wide search for spies from the Ming Dynasty, and our clinic is a key target!"

"If we report ourselves, we'll see Gru! But Gru is just too strong, Lord Chen, you'd better not act rashly!"

Upon hearing Qiao Zihan's words, Chen Yang couldn't help but laugh. He patted Qiao Zihan on the shoulder and said, "Physician Qiao is indeed clever! Alright, let's do it that way! I'll report myself!"

Before Qiao Zihan and Ujina could agree, Chen Yang leaped away and quickly left, heading straight for the Gru Mansion in the center of Yangguan City!

They arrived at the gate of the mansion.

It was already getting dark.

Chen Yang spoke directly, "I want to report this! I know of an important spy hideout in the Great Ming Kingdom! I need to see Lord Gru; only by seeing him will I tell him where the real spies are!"

The guards went to report.

Soon, someone led Chen Yang through the heavy defenses and into a large hall on the left side of the mansion.

The hall was very spacious, and there were more than fifty Manchu monks sitting on the floor inside, drinking and eating meat, and watching the captured Ming Dynasty women dance for their amusement!

The soldier dragged Chen Yang inside, then shouted towards the front, "Lord Gru! It's him! He says he knows where the Ming Dynasty spies are!"

Chen Yang raised his head and looked at the main seat in front of him—there were two people sitting there, a man and a woman!

The man had a full beard and a very strong build!

And sitting next to that man was an absolutely stunning beauty!

Chen Yang knew this woman all too well—after all, he had just slept with her that morning.

This woman is actually Nalan Ying!
