The Physician Wife Who Overturned The World

32. Disbanding the Xue Army

Xue Fanxin used a special movement technique to dodge his opponent's attacks. He came behind him and took out an ordinary dagger that he always carried, instantly slitting the neck of his opponent.

That person was facing Yan Jinlu when he died. His eyes opened wide as he looked at Yan Jinlu. His body slowly fell down, and he died with lingering grievances.

Yan Jinlu was so frightened that his legs became weak. He ran away, yelling, "Please!"

Although this was a deserted alley, if the sound was too loud, it would easily attract the attention of the people outside. Therefore, when Yan Jinlu ran over while shouting, he had already attracted attention.

The reason Xue Fanxin lured Yan Jinlu into the empty alley was to solve this matter secretly. Coupled with the fact that his current identity was no match to reveal, he did not chase after Yan Jinlu. Before anyone noticed her, she immediately went and hid in a secluded place to take off her clothes. After changing clothes, he came out openly on the streets.

Due to the theft of the Hundred Potions Hall, soldiers searched everywhere in the Imperial City. As long as it was a suspicious person, they would be investigated and even arrested, making everyone panic.

"I wonder who dares to steal from the Hundred Potions Hall?"

“It's not like that? Who did not know that the owner behind this Hundred Potions Hall was the current Imperial Adviser? This thief actually dared to steal from the Imperial Advisor. He's just tired of living.”

“This is hard to say. I heard that there are some capable people outside. Forget the current Imperial Advisors, even the current emperor could not compare to them. Perhaps some experts who passed through Nanling Imperial City were a little short of money or had a grudge with the Imperial Advisory Residence, so he attacked the Hundred Potions Hall.”

“Forget, forget. It has nothing to do with us. Why talk so much? Be careful not to say anything wrong.”

"That's right. Nanling Imperial City has not been too peaceful lately. First, something happened in the Duke's Residence. Now, it was the Imperial Advisory Residence. This city might be fucked.”

As Xue Fanxin walked back, she heard some rumors in the market. He sifted through some useful passages and pondered over them.

The Hundred Potions Hall belonging to the Imperial Adviser had been robbed, and the emperor actually deployed the Imperial Guards to help search for the thief. However, when the Duke was killed, the emperor did not even express his concern. Even if this matter was planned by the emperor in secret, for the sake of the overall situation, he should at least act as if he cared and asked about the Duke's well-being.

From this, it was seen that the emperor really could not tolerate Xue Batian. He doesn't even want to show up now. Although he did not say it, his actions had already clearly expressed his thoughts. He wanted Xue Batian dead.

Under such circumstances, if they were still guarding the Xue family army, it would undoubtedly worsen the conflict.

Xue Fanxin touched the paper money she had just obtained and made a decision in her heart. Then, he quickly walked towards the Duke's Residence.

However, the moment Xue Fanxin walked into the Duke's Residence, the person who followed her quietly left.

"Are you sure that the person who came to sell the Spirit Resurrection Potion was the foolish and useless Miss of the Duke's Residence?" A purple brocade-robed young man was shocked to hear the person's report.

Ever since he learned that someone had sold a bottle of Spirit Resurrection Potion in his Heavenly Treasure Trading Firm, he immediately sent people to tail the person, hoping to find out who that person was as quickly as possible. However, the result was completely unexpected.

The useless Miss of the Duke's Residence, Xue Fanxin, was not only useless, but she also had something like a Spirit Resurrection Potion, which was rare even in the various clans and sects of the great family.

“Xue Fanxin is quite interesting.”

"Young Master, should we continue to monitor Xue Fanxin?"

"unneeded. As long as we know who it is, the rest doesn't matter.”

When Xue Fanxin returned to the Duke's Residence, the butler came to tell her that Xue Batian had woken up.

“Grandfather, you're finally awake. Thank God."

Even though Xue Batian had woken up, her condition was extremely bad. His cultivation had been lost, all of his meridians had been damaged, his dantian had been destroyed. He was undoubtedly crippled now, so how could he be in such a good condition?

However, no matter how bad, Xue Batian still forced a smile in front of Xue Fanxin. He did not want his precious grandson to worry. “Xin'er small, Grandpa is fine. It's all thanks to little Xin'er this time, or my old life will be gone. I didn't expect little Xin'er's medical skills to be so good. Looks like Little Xin'er Grandpa is really an adult.”

“Grandfather, you must not bear your sorrow and force a smile on me. I know that you feel very uncomfortable right now, but Grandpa, believe me. I will definitely help you refine your meridians and dantian.”

"How is it possible? There are no spirit pills in this world that can heal meridians and dantians, so you don't need to waste time on me. Seeing you grow up, I don't have much regrets anymore. Even if I die, I can die peacefully.”

“Ptui, ptui, ptui. What do you mean you could die peacefully? I'll let Grandpa live long. Grandpa, I want to talk to you about something.” Xue Fanxin hesitated for a long time, but she still chose to tell Xue Batian about her decision.

"What's that?" Xue Batian was no longer sad. Seeing his precious grandson grow up and become smarter, he felt happy even if he became disabled.

“Grandfather, I want to disband the Xue.” family army

"What?"

“Grandfather, don't worry and let me finish it. With Grandfather's intelligence, you should be able to guess that this murder must have something to do with Emperor Nanling. Emperor Nanling can no longer tolerate you. He failed to kill you last time, so there will definitely be a second time. Moreover, he would not let the Xue family army live a good life. Previously, with the help of the Ninth Empire's Uncle, Emperor Nanling agreed to hand out rations to the Xue family's troops, but until now, there had been no signs of rations.”

Hearing this, Xue Batian's expression was extremely firm. He sighed helplessly, “How could I not know about this matter? But without the Xue family army, it would be easier for Emperor Nanling to kill me. With the Xue family army in hand, he would at least feel misgivings and would not dare to act recklessly. Moreover, disbanding the Xue family army required a lot of money. I can't just let them go. They were all brothers who had lived and died with me. I want to make sure their future life is comfortable.”

“Grandfather, I will pay for the dissolution. Two million taels of gold is enough.”

"Whatdidyou say? Two million taels of gold? Little Xin'er, where did you get so much money?" Xue Batian was shocked.

Two million taels of gold. There was not much in the entire treasury of the Nanling Empire!

“Grandfather, this is 100,000 gold taels. I'll be able to get the rest in a few days. As for this money, just think of it as what Ninth Imperial Uncle gave me.” Xue Fanxin did not want to explain too much. After all, he had too many secrets.

He did not intend to hide it from Xue Batian. However, the more people knew about such a secret, the more dangerous it became. Even if he wanted to say it, he had to do it when there was no one around.

Xue Fanxin would glance out the window from time to time, feeling someone was eavesdropping.

That's absolutely true.

Li Yaoyao had searched the Dukes residence recently, but she was unable to find it at any cost. In a moment of despair, he could only take a risk and secretly monitor the every move of Xue Batian and Xue Fanxin and eavesdrop on the corner of the wall to see if he could get something.

If he still could not find what the mysterious person wanted, he would get into trouble.
