There is a kind of scholar

Chapter 781: Isn’t he blushing?
Having said that, the relationship between them and Li Qingniu is not a life-and-death hatred. Instead, it is very harmonious, like a family.

Su Xian has always been puzzled by this.

But I never found a chance to find out.

Guan Ping's expression gradually became silent, as if he was lost in some distant memories. After a long time, he asked in a calm and calm voice:

"Second Senior Brother, do you know the feeling of despair?"

"What should I say?" Su Xian's interest was aroused.

Guan Ping continued:
"Second senior brother, do you know what it feels like when your closest relative, when your life's sustenance falls in your arms, life or death is uncertain, and you are powerless to save it?"

"..."

Su Xian's eyelids twitched. He had indeed experienced a similar situation. Not long ago, on the night when Yang Zhilan became ill, he panicked and tried to hold on to something but was unable to do anything.

He still remembered the deep feeling of powerlessness.

A hint of vicissitudes of life appeared in Guan Ping's calm expression, and he said as if he was recalling:
"I once had a daughter who was only a few years old. That day, my enemies suddenly came to my door. I happened to be not at home... When I got the news and returned home like crazy, I found..."

Guan Ping paused for a moment, as if he wanted to choke, but he was always a stubborn middle-aged man who concealed all his inner emotions and never showed them outside.

All Su Xian could see was a face filled with memories and vicissitudes of life.

"I found...my first wife was lying in a pool of blood. She had already expired. The young and old in the family were also seriously injured. The most important thing was my daughter..."

Guan Ping paused again, holding back something, and then continued after a long time:
"She was extremely injured. If the sword wound was deflected a little further, it would damage her heart..."

"I didn't have time to find revenge on my enemies, nor did I have time to bury my deceased wife. I went crazy and searched for doctors with her dying."

"Although I searched all the famous doctors at the time, she was too badly injured... I was so desperate that I hugged her and cried in the middle of the night."

"At that time, she was seriously ill. She suddenly woke up like a flashback. Her eyes opened again and she said that she was in pain and asked me for her mother... She was so young, but very sensible. She seemed to know something. Why? I wiped away my tears and closed my eyes tightly."

"Even though I'm extremely reluctant, I also know in my heart that after she closes her eyes this time... I'm afraid she will never open them again! I really hate myself for not being able to protect their mother and daughter."

"..."

When Guan Ping said this, he quietly turned sideways.

Su Xian saw him raise his hand and then put it down.

After a while, Guan Ping continued:

"Fortunately, through the help of a friend, I found the famous Dr. Li. At that time, the old man was already semi-reclusive, and it would be impossible for ordinary people to find him without referrals."

"Divine Doctor Li checked her injury and said it can be cured, but the condition is that I must stay with the genius doctor... I nodded and agreed without thinking. As long as she can survive, everything will be fine."

"..."

Guan Ping's mood gradually stabilized.

What happened next was uneventful.

Li Qingniu not only cured his beloved daughter's disease, but also sent troops to help him avenge the murder of his wife.

After his daughter recovered, Li Qingniu came forward and sent someone to secretly send her to a good family to be raised. Guan Ping followed Li Qingniu with peace of mind until now.

At the beginning, Guan Ping was always a little depressed. After all, he used to be the famous "Guanzhong Hero", but now he is a slave, and there is a big gap in his heart.

However, after a period of time, he discovered that that was not the case. Li Qingniu was kind to him. Especially after following Li Qingniu to live in seclusion in Butterfly Valley, he gradually fell in love with that quiet life...

Su Xian silently listened to Guan Ping's story, and finally asked:
"After so many years, your love must have grown up. Have you ever gone back to visit her?"

"I have seen that the miracle doctor allows us to go out of the valley to visit relatives on a regular basis, but in order not to affect her life and avoid being found by her former enemies, I can only watch from a distance and cannot recognize her, but this is enough." Guan Ping said.

"..."

Su Xian stood up from the chair, looked at Guan Ping, made up his mind secretly, and said to himself:
"Yes, you are affectionate and righteous, you are stable and reliable, you have experienced strong winds and waves, and your skills are not bad. You will be the next commander of the Hou Mansion's soldiers!"

Thinking about it in my heart, but I can't say it directly, Su Xian pondered for a while and said:

"Guan Daxia, I came to you this time because I want to tell you something personally."

"Second Senior Brother, please speak." Guan Ping has come out of the emotion just now. After all, more than ten years have passed since that incident.

Su Xian's face straightened and he said:
"Yan Dashan, the former commander of the Hou Mansion's personal soldiers, has left the Hou Mansion and accepted the emperor's order to train the 'Longwu Army'. After he left, the position of commander became vacant."

Guan Ping raised his eyelids and instantly guessed what Su Xian was thinking, but he didn't dare to clarify, so he asked: "What does the second senior brother mean?"

"After much thought, I have always felt that Guan Daxia is the best candidate to lead the army. I wonder what Guan Daxia would like?" Su Xian pointed out directly.

Guan Ping's expression was filled with joy at first. He had been silent for so many years, and it would be a lie to say that he had no intention of coming back, even though he also liked the secluded life.

However, his complexion immediately darkened again, shaking his head and saying:
"I appreciate Second Senior Brother's kindness, but please forgive me for not accepting Second Senior Brother's invitation."

"Why?" Su Xian frowned secretly.

"Second senior brother should know that in order to treat my little girl's illness, my subordinates made an agreement with the miracle doctor, and he can only stay with the miracle doctor for the rest of his life, waiting for orders." Guan Ping looked calm.

Su Xian breathed a sigh of relief and smiled:
"So it's because of this, Guan Daxia, don't worry, I'm sure that Master will cancel the agreement, give you the antidote, and give you back your freedom!"

Guan Ping's initial reaction was disbelief. In all these years, no one has ever been able to make Li Qingniu take the initiative to cancel the agreement, at least he has never seen it.

But then he remembered Su Xian's identity. He was Li Qingniu's close disciple. If he stepped forward, this matter might be possible.

After weighing the left and right, Guan Ping finally cupped his fists and said: "But it depends on the arrangement of the second senior brother."

"That's right." Su Xian was happy because he was confident that he could handle Li Qingniu.

"..."

Without further ado, Su Xian took Guan Ping with him, and the two of them went straight to the place where Li Qingniu temporarily lived. He wanted to implement this matter as soon as possible.

After arriving at the place, Zhou Wei's wailing had disappeared. It turned out that Li Qingniu had finally finished venting his anger, and ordered people to carry Zhou Wei down to apply medicine, and then took out the "kidney-tonifying essence" medicinal materials prepared a few days ago...

"Master!"

In the living room, Li Qingniu was drinking tea to calm down his shock. Su Xian brought Guan Ping in to meet him. Guan Ping looked slightly nervous.

"Well, you're here." Li Qingniu nodded slightly.

"Where's Senior Brother?" Su Xian looked around.

"The beast was carried down..." Li Qingniu was still angry when he mentioned Zhou Wei. He placed the tea cup heavily on the small table with a bang.

"Master, please calm down." Su Xian smiled, lifted the teapot on the side with his own hands, and filled the teacup with water, appearing extremely attentive.

Li Qingniu raised his brows, and the words "to be courteous for nothing is either adultery or theft" suddenly popped into his mind. He decided to remain calm and wait and see what Su Xian would do.

"Disciple, I have some good news for you, Master!" Su Xian still smiled and offered the filled teacup with both hands.

"Oh?" Li Qingniu took the tea cup, his expression suddenly changed, and he guessed: "Could it be that there is a clue to the 'Nine-branched Nectar'?"

"Master is wise! Yes, news just came from the palace. After the hard work of dozens of scribes, we finally found the book..."

Su Xian made up a piece of "ancient records" nonsense, he was a scholar, and these things came out of his mouth, Li Qingniu couldn't hear anything wrong at all.

However, this is just a clue, and we still need to continue searching according to the clues, but we finally have a good beginning, right?This is indeed a happy event.

"Okay!" Li Qingniu was indeed overjoyed and cast an approving look at Su Xian.

"Master, I have something to ask you..." Su Xian struck while the iron was hot.

The smile on Li Qingniu's lips froze slightly, and he knew that this kid had a crooked idea. Wouldn't this reveal his secret?

"What's going on?" he asked casually.

"Master, you know that the position of military commander in the disciple's residence is vacant. I would like to ask Guan Daxia to take on this important task. Master, please make it convenient." Su Xian's face was not red, he was not out of breath, he was still smiling, and he was very thick-skinned. .

"Oh?" Li Qingniu was slightly surprised, looked sideways at Guan Ping, and asked, "What do you think?"

"But according to the doctor's orders." Guan Ping bowed.

Li Qingniu nodded, looked at Su Xian with a smile on his face, frowned slightly, and said slowly: "Guan Ping's skills are only inferior to Zhou Wei..."

When Guan Ping heard this, he shook his head secretly. It seemed that Li Qingniu was unwilling to let him go.

Su Xian looked calm, still smiling, and said:

"Master, we have found the clues of 'Nine Branches of Ambrosia', and the next step is to investigate. If we talk about investigation, we should be proud of the prison department. It just so happens that the disciple is the chief arrester of the prison department... So master, what do you think?"

Li Qingniu glared, and finally laughed and said: "Come on! Come on! You are my disciple after all, so this small request should be met by my master."

"Thank you, Master!" Su Xian was overjoyed.

Guan Ping was quite surprised. Su Xian was probably the only one who could "threaten" Divine Doctor Li like this... When he was distracted, Li Qingniu suddenly looked at him and warned:

"You come here tomorrow and I will give you the antidote. After you take the antidote, the agreement made back then will be invalid. As for the future, it will be your responsibility."

His last words were spoken to Su Xian.

"Thank you, the miracle doctor." Guan Ping quickly clasped his fists.

"Master, don't worry." Su Xian smiled.

"..."

After the matter was settled, Su Xian changed the topic and said, "Master, I want to see my senior brother, but I don't know how thin he has become after living in a brothel for several days."

"Humph!"

When Zhou Wei was mentioned, Li Qingniu became angry. At this time, the "kidney essence" medicinal materials were ready, so he personally took Su Xian to visit him.

"Brother!"

Several people came to a room. Zhou Wei was lying on the bed. Su Xian rushed up quickly and shouted with concern:

"Senior brother, why are you so thin? Is it okay? Junior brother is here to visit you... Hey, why are there so many injuries on your body? Those brothel girls dare to beat my senior brother?!"

"..."

The masters of Butterfly Valley outside the house were all speechless after hearing Su Xian's words.

When Li Qingniu was beating Zhou Wei, Su Xian had already arrived and turned around to leave.

Now that he was talking about this, wouldn't he blush?
"What nonsense are you talking about? What kind of brothel woman beat your senior brother?!" Li Qingniu walked quickly to Zhou Wei's bed with a dark face. If Su Xian was an ordinary person, he would really beat someone.

"Brother...brother, you guessed wrong. These injuries were caused by Master." Zhou Wei corrected seriously.

Su Xian was "awed", then looked at Li Qingniu and said: "Master, how could you be so cruel? Look what has become of my senior brother... Come here, senior brother, I will feed you tea..."

Although Li Qingniu had an angry look on his face, seeing the scene of the two of them being "brothers, friends, and respectful brothers", he couldn't help but feel comforted, twirling his beard and nodding secretly.

Thinking about the love and hatred between him and his senior brother, he couldn't help but sigh...

Su Xian finished feeding Zhou Wei tea and said:
"Master, everyone happens to be here. I have a small matter that I want to announce. I have secretly communicated this matter with my senior brother. He agrees with it without any objection."

"What a trivial matter?" Li Qingniu was still smiling. Su Xian and Zhou Wei were "brothers and brothers" in front of them, so this so-called trivial matter must be very harmonious.

Guan Ping and others also looked curious, and their eyes fell on Su Xian and Zhou Wei.

Su Xian's face straightened, he cleared his throat, and bowed to Li Qingniu: "Master, the little thing that the disciple mentioned is... to exchange identities with senior brother."

"Swap identities?" Li Qingniu and Guan Ping were all confused, not knowing what Su Xian meant.

"To be specific, from now on, the disciple will be the senior brother, and the senior brother will be the junior brother!" Su Xian showed no shame, but was calm and composed.

"..."

After he finished speaking, the whole room fell silent.

The smile on Li Qingniu's mouth froze for a moment. He was stunned for a while, and finally his expression changed and he shouted loudly:

"No! Senior fellow apprentices, there is order at the top and bottom. How can this be changed?! No! I am firmly opposed to this!"

Guan Ping and others also looked at Su Xian speechlessly. What are the benefits of being a senior brother?They couldn't figure it out no matter how hard they tried, and they made Li Qingniu unhappy for nothing.

It's not worth it.

Zhou Wei suddenly interrupted and said:
"Master, my disciple agrees with this. Senior brother, his talent in studying medicine is better than mine, and his speed in studying medicine is needless to say. The previous "Acupoint System" is an example!"

"Senior brother is the perfect candidate to inherit your master's medical skills. My apprentice is still self-aware, so..."

Zhou Wei couldn't continue talking as he talked.

Because Li Qingniu gave him a death stare.

Su Xian was still calm and calm, and said:

"Master, listen to me, it doesn't really matter. As the saying goes, there is a priority in learning the Tao, and there is a specialization in the arts. If your junior is suitable for practicing martial arts, don't force him to study medicine..."

"..."

In the end, after Su Xian's nonsense and "threats", Li Qingniu reluctantly compromised.

He adopted an attitude of neither admitting nor denying, snorted coldly, waved his hand vigorously, and turned to leave.
