Chapter 303: Thousands of People, Thousands of Faces
Seeing the writing on the table, the master and the apprentice were both shocked and retreated instantly, knocking over the benches under their buttocks.
Doctor Xue pointed his sword at Li Xuan and shouted righteously:
"Who is this monster?"
"Show your true form quickly!"
If Doctor Xue's words were not accompanied by his continuous backward steps, I'm afraid it would be more powerful.
"And what do you mean by showing your true form? This is my true form, okay?"
Seeing the master and the apprentice making a fuss, Li Xuan couldn't help but show a speechless expression.
"I'm not a monster, I'm a lucky spirit beast, I advise you not to talk nonsense."
"Also, I'm here to help Doctor Fang."
Li Xuan added two more lines of words and explained reluctantly.
Accustomed to communicating with people who know his details, Li Xuan suddenly felt particularly strenuous to communicate with outsiders.
First, let them accept that they are a cat who can write. This simple fact can greatly impact their poor common sense.
Aimu on the bed looked at this side curiously. They couldn't say anything, but just anxiously "Aba Aba", curious about what happened to make the master and apprentice who had previously controlled them so uncalm.
"Isn't it just a little black cat?"
Ayimu was puzzled.
From her angle, she couldn't see the handwriting on the table, so she didn't understand why the master and apprentice had such a big reaction.
Doctor Xue and Fang Muyang stared at the handwriting on the table in a daze, looking at each other for a few times, full of unbelievable surprise.
The two of them have lived for nearly a hundred years in total, and have never seen a cat that can write.
"Master, this..."
Fang Muyang is an apprentice after all. When he can't make up his mind, he asks the master to come forward to solve the problem.
"Hiss——"
"Auspicious spirit beast?"
Doctor Xue looked undecided, twisting his beard and frowning, moving slowly, and came to Fang Muyang's side, with his butt facing the door.
Doctor Xue had one hand behind his back at this time, and Li Xuan had already guessed that he was on guard against him.
After all, if a cat suddenly jumped in front of him and wrote such a sentence, ordinary people would be so vigilant.
The human race simply and roughly divided the beast race into demon beasts and spirit beasts.
The two have one thing in common, that is, they are both very capable beasts.
And those that can be used by the human race are spirit beasts, and those that cannot be used by the human race are demon beasts.
After all, it is the standard set by the human race themselves, so it is not their fault that they are so subjective.
According to Doctor Xue's common sense, the possibility of demon beasts appearing in the capital is extremely low.
But even if it is not a demon beast that harms people at will, he has to be vigilant.
It is obviously impossible for a beast race with such intelligence to be raised by ordinary people.
"Mu Yang, you just said that you have seen the owner of this cat?"
Doctor Xue asked his apprentice.
"Yes, it was a girl in her teens, sitting in a wheelchair, and followed by a group of mighty guards."
"I found the cat in Hu Yulou last night and sent it back to them. She came to thank me this morning."
"But the girl seems to have doubted me."
Fang Muyang did not dare to hide anything in such a strange situation, for fear of interfering with the master's judgment.
Hearing Fang Muyang's words, Doctor Xue was stunned, frowned and looked at Fang Muyang, and confirmed:
"A girl in her teens? Sitting in a wheelchair? Raising a black cat? And guards protecting her?"
"Is there a maid who looks a few years older than the girl?"
Fang Muyang thought about it and immediately remembered: "Yes, there is also a maid pushing a wheelchair, who is a few years older than the girl."
"Master, do you know them?"
Doctor Xue had thought of something at this time, and asked Li Xuan uncertainly:
"Jingyang Palace?"
Li Xuan nodded gently.
Doctor Xue's reaction was quick. He guessed their identities just by these characteristics.
Seeing Li Xuan nod, Doctor Xue was first surprised that Li Xuan could understand human words.
"I have heard that His Highness Ankang is good at taming animals. It turns out that your little cat is so smart."
Doctor Xue took a step forward with courage and looked at Li Xuan in amazement.
"His Highness Ankang?"
Fang Muyang was full of surprise.
"The little girl you saw before is the current thirteenth princess, Princess Ankang."
Doctor Xue waved to Fang Muyang and asked him to sit down again. He also moved the stool and sat back in his original position.
"Master..."
Fang Muyang winked at Doctor Xue and was still wary of Li Xuan.
"Forget it. If they really wanted to harm us, they would have attacked us directly."
"The sound of the little black cat climbing through the window just now was already a knock on the door."
Doctor Xue seemed open-minded. Perhaps he knew Li Xuan's background at this time. Instead of being vigilant, he was more curious about him.
"Little guy, what you said just now was what Princess Ankang meant?"
Doctor Xue asked right away.
At this time, Li Xuan just pretended not to understand his words and did not react at all.
Doctor Xue saw Li Xuan's reaction and said in his heart:
"This little cat is still playing dumb with me. I have never heard of such intelligence."
Doctor Xue has not set foot in Jingyang Palace for a long time.
Except for helping the young Princess Ankang to diagnose once before, he has never seen Princess Ankang again.
Doctor Xue felt guilty about Princess Ankang.
He was completely helpless about Princess Ankang's condition and was unworthy of the title of the chief of the Imperial Hospital.
Doctor Xue could not even understand Princess Ankang's illness, let alone treat it.
Doctor Xue could only judge by the speed of Princess Ankang's physical deterioration, so he came to the conclusion that Princess Ankang would not live beyond the age of eighteen.
Doctor Xue was still quite confident about this conclusion.
It can even be said that Doctor Xue was optimistic about the deadline of eighteen years old.
At first, Li Xuan chose to help Fang Muyang just to express his righteousness and the wishes of Princess Ankang.
But when he heard that Doctor Xue was Fang Muyang's master, he had another reason to help Fang Muyang.
Princess Ankang's body has become healthier and healthier, and sooner or later it will be impossible to hide it.
Before that, Li Xuan needs to find a reasonable reason for Princess Ankang to recover.
Li Xuan believes that Doctor Xue in front of him is the most reasonable reason.
At this time, Fang Muyang has also sat down. Seeing that Doctor Xue and Li Xuan are staring at each other with their own intentions, he can't help but ask Li Xuan:
"What do you mean by this?"
Fang Muyang pointed to the handwriting written by Li Xuan on the table.
"Literally, I have heard your story outside."
"I am also unhappy with that Zhao Si, but he is hiding at home now. I just came out of Zhao's house. You can't go in and kill him by yourself."
Li Xuan wrote very confidently.
He could sense that Fang Muyang had a weak Qi and blood power in his body, and optimistically estimated that he might have the strength of the ninth rank.
Moreover, the Qi and blood power in Fang Muyang's body was exactly the same as that of Doctor Xue, and was extremely gentle.
Li Xuan guessed that the master and apprentice were practicing special techniques for health preservation or healing, so the power in their bodies was so gentle.
When Li Xuan was reading martial arts experience before, he saw that among the five elements, water and wood attributes had special effects on recovering injuries.
Doctor Xue and Fang Muyang may have taken this path.
Seeing the handwriting written by Li Xuan, Fang Muyang's eyes dimmed.
He was also very clear about Zhao Si's situation.
Fang Muyang did not expect that Zhao Si was so timid. When Hou San got into trouble, he actually thought about why the other party was targeted by the so-called female ghost, and then hid in the house without coming out.
If Fang Muyang wanted to kill Zhao Si, he must have a chance to get close.
Even if he could not get close to Zhao Si himself, it would be okay to get close to the place where he usually stayed.
In this case, Fang Muyang can let Zhao Si jump into the fire pit himself, just like killing Zhou's mother.
But now, whether it is approaching Zhao Si himself or entering Zhao's house, Fang Muyang can't do it.
For revenge, Fang Muyang doesn't want to use others' hands unless it is absolutely necessary.
He has done many things wrong, and he doesn't want to do the last thing he can do for Xixi wrong.
"What price do I need to pay?"
Fang Muyang asked Li Xuan seriously.
Li Xuan shook his head, and then continued to write with his tail:
"It's just seeing injustice on the road, just as making a friend."
"Maybe there will be a time when I need your help in the future."
Fang Muyang shook his head and said, "I don't necessarily have a future."
"Muyang, what nonsense are you talking about!"
Xue Taiyi scolded.
"Xixi has done so much for you, is it just hoping that you will end up like that?"
Xue Taiyi scolded with regret.
At this time, Aimu on the bed also joined in the fun. She dragged her weak body, climbed up from the bed, and sat on the empty seat beside the table.
Aimu said "Aba Aba" twice and pointed to her mouth.
Fang Muyang saw that she seemed to have something to say, so he unblocked her mute point.
Aimu then looked at Doctor Xue and pointed to the silver needle on her body.
"It's really to treat your injury."
Doctor Xue explained helplessly.
Aimu nodded, then squeezed out the last strength in her body and slapped him hard.
Snap!
A crisp sound rang out.
Fang Muyang turned his head to the side woodenly, his cheeks already red.
"Fang Muyang, do you know why Xixi refused to surrender after being redeemed?"
"She obviously could have been fine if she had endured it that night."
Aimu asked Fang Muyang coldly.
Fang Muyang lowered his eyelids to hide his sadness, but still answered softly:
"Xixi, she..."
"She was redeemed and became a clean family."
"She is keeping her chastity for me..."
"But I'm not..."
Snap!
Aimu found strength from nowhere and slapped Fang Muyang again.
"That's the most precious thing she thinks she can give you."
Fang Muyang was stunned. He had never realized this.
After Aimu slapped Fang Muyang twice, he lay back on the bed with his back to everyone.
The room was silent.
Fang Muyang was stunned and didn't know what he was thinking. He only saw tears falling from his eyes.
Li Xuan and Doctor Xue looked at him silently without interrupting him.
At this time, Aimu, who was lying on the bed, suddenly said:
"If you die, no one will know how precious the last things that Xixi left in the world are."
Li Xuan couldn't help looking at Aimu's back, and suddenly felt that the new courtesan of Hu Yulou and Fang Muyang might not just be cooperating for the sake of interests.
Aimu might also know Xixi.
Maybe they didn't know each other for long, but it was enough for Aimu to say such a thing for Xixi.
"Thank you, Miss Aimu."
Fang Muyang wiped away her tears silently, then looked at Li Xuan and asked:
"How can you help me?"
Before answering, Li Xuan asked Fang Muyang a question.
"Do you want to solve Zhao Si yourself?"
Fang Muyang nodded very seriously.
Doctor Xue just sighed silently, but didn't say much.
Li Xuan had expected it.
In fact, the easiest way is for Li Xuan to help Fang Muyang.
But Li Xuan had also anticipated Fang Muyang's idea of personally dealing with Zhao Si.
After all, revenge is most satisfying when you do it yourself.
Li Xuan did not keep the secret, and shook his tail, and threw out some things from the Emperor Hong bone ring.
Several exquisite human skin masks appeared on the table.
Doctor Xue's eyes jumped, and he picked up one of the human skin masks and said in surprise:
"This quality..."
Doctor Xue just touched it and knew that it was something from the palace.
"Zhao Si has been acting abnormally recently, and he was injured again today. You can get close to him under the pretext of practicing medicine."
"Of course, you have to disguise yourself and hide your true identity."
Li Xuan lifted up the tail that was writing, and then a special human skin mask appeared on the tail.
There were only a few small holes on this human skin mask, corresponding to the positions of the eyes and mouth, and there were no other details afterwards. It looked like an unfinished work.
But Li Xuan only found out later that the value of this human skin mask was actually the highest.
He handed the human skin mask to Fang Muyang, and then continued to write:
"You can also choose to use this human skin mask to pretend to be someone from the Zhao Mansion and then approach Zhao Si."
Fang Muyang looked at the slightly rough human skin mask in his hand and seemed a little confused.
At this time, Doctor Xue exclaimed first.
"Is this 'Thousand People Thousand Faces'!?"
That's right, this human skin mask has its own name: Thousand People Thousand Faces.
This human skin mask has extremely strong plasticity and recovery. For those who are involved in disguise, it is a rare treasure.
Li Xuan also learned about the function of this treasure from Shang Zongguan later.
This human skin mask can be improved in details by itself, and after a few days, the human skin mask will return to its original state.
In other words, "Thousand People Thousand Faces" is a human skin mask that can be reused and customized.
Unlike other human skin masks, once the specific details are improved, they can no longer be changed.
You know, the materials and craftsmanship of making human skin masks are very complicated.
Every human skin mask is a rare treasure.
And "Thousand Faces" is the best among human skin masks.
Doctor Xue told Fang Muyang about the function of "Thousand Faces", and he was obviously interested after hearing it.
Whether it is using an ordinary human skin mask to pretend to be another doctor to practice medicine, or using "Thousand Faces" to pretend to be someone from the Zhao Mansion to approach Zhao Si, the possibility of success is very high.
And Li Xuan noticed with his peripheral vision that Ayimu on the bed also pricked up her ears.
It seems that she is also very interested in "Thousand Faces".
"You are doctors, making a human skin mask should not be difficult for you, right?"
Li Xuan is not worried that Doctor Xue and Fang Muyang will not be able to depict the details of the human face.
The master and apprentice nodded together, indicating that it is not difficult for them.
Now it depends on how Fang Muyang chooses.
Li Xuan and Doctor Xue turned their heads silently to look at Fang Muyang, waiting for his decision.
Fang Muyang thought for a long time, and then slowly said:
"Can you lend me two?"
