Time Travel: The Best Doctor in Ancient Times-Chapter 657 - 502: Everything is Ready

The entire Gu Residence was brightly lit, pedestrians with solemn expressions hurried about, nothing of the festive and lively scene of the daytime remained.

Gu Changsheng’s eyes involuntarily deepened. Today was her bride-pride ceremony with the evildoer, and she had not yet had time to feel this happiness when she was suddenly struck by this change!

Southern Border! Southern Border!

Murmuring repeatedly in her heart, a fierce glint of murderous intent flashed through the depths of Gu Changsheng’s eyes. A dragon has its reverse scales, touch them and you die!

Her family was her reverse scales!

Her precious little flesh bundle was her greatest weakness!

"Evildoer, I’m going to ask Shang Xie!" Seeing her subordinates preparing methodically, Gu Changsheng greeted Zhou Mu and then headed toward the direction of Peach Blossom Cottage.

Little Monk Bu Jie had extraordinary abilities and could glimpse the secrets of heaven. He must know whether her little flesh bundle was safe and sound!

In Peach Blossom Cottage, the peach blossoms that had been transplanted at the start of spring were blooming brilliantly like fire, and the fragrance of the flowers faintly carried a hint of sandalwood.

The subtle sandalwood scent that entered her nose inexplicably calmed Gu Changsheng’s restless heart.

The night had deepened, and Gu Changsheng, with slow steps, walked over the fallen petals, listening to the steady and powerful footsteps behind her, she slowly spoke, "Evildoer, are you really going to go to the Southern Border with me?"

What was his identity? He was one of the Imperial Family and nobles of Great Zhou, the Commandery Prince in whom the Great Zhou Imperial Family placed great hopes! No, now he should be called Prince Mu!

As he had said, the Southern Border was a land of treacherous mountains and perilous waters, fraught with danger. A daughter of great value should not stand under a dangerous wall, yet he wanted to accompany her to the Southern Border?

"This prince promised you, and I will never break my word in this lifetime!" A deep, magnetic voice sounded from behind, and Zhou Mu stepped forward, taking her hand.

Fingers intertwined, the two of them smiled at each other!

No matter the path ahead, with him by her side, through mountains of swords and seas of flames, she feared nothing!

Inside the Zen Room, Little Monk Bu Jie sat holding a small canvas bundle, quietly waiting.

Seeing him like this, a flash of realization crossed Gu Changsheng’s mind, her gaze sharp, she spoke solemnly, "Shang Xie, you know?"

The residence had just begun preparations, but his bags were already packed. She didn’t believe he didn’t know!

"Amitabha, Benefactor Changsheng, when do we depart?" Little Monk Bu Jie chanted a Buddhist verse, still looking kind and compassionate.

"Tomorrow morning!" Gu Changsheng spoke sternly and turned to leave.

He knew! Although Little Monk Bu Jie was young, his mana was profoundly inscrutable. He surely knew everything.

Outside the door, that purple-gold figure was waiting for him.

Gu Changsheng suddenly looked back, fixing her gaze on the sitting Little Monk Bu Jie, she spoke solemnly, "Shang Xie, I only ask one question. Can my son get through this ordeal?"

Given Little Monk Bu Jie’s character, if she asked about anything else, he would definitely keep silent.

However, she just needed to know if her little flesh bundle could safely get through this ordeal, if he could safely wait for her to come and fetch him!

Upon hearing this, Little Monk Bu Jie immediately looked up, his profound eyes that seemed to encompass the universe now revealed mysterious depths, and the corners of his mouth slightly curved, revealing a hint of a smile, "Benefactor Changsheng, fortune rests on disaster, and disaster lurks within fortune. Young Master is deeply blessed, he is not a short-lived person. This journey is also his fate, Benefactor Changsheng need not worry!"

At his words, Gu Changsheng’s brows couldn’t help but furrow.

She heard only one thing, that he was not short-lived!

That was good! That proved that her little flesh bundle had no threat to his life!

"If my son loses a hair, the Southern Border Royal Family will be overturned, if my son suffers a tiny bit, the people of the Southern Border will accompany him! They have separated mother and son, I, Gu Changsheng, swear not to return until I have pacified the Southern Border!" With a wave of her Red Sleeve, Gu Changsheng turned and left.

Little Monk Bu Jie was left behind, sighing continuously.

"Knowing his Bodhisattva-like compassionate nature, why did you still tell him these things?" Zhou Mu looked at the small woman beside him, speaking helplessly.

"His bags were already packed, he was bound to accompany me to the Southern Border. It was better for him to be prepared earlier!" Gu Changsheng looked up at the vast starry sky, her gaze growing sharp, "Besides, he clearly could see everything, why didn’t he tell me? Why was Yaoyao taken hostage? He’s still so young, has never been away from me; imagine how frightened and unsettled he must be? Evildoer, my heart aches! Having no threat to his life doesn’t mean he won’t suffer; he’s just a little child..."

As she said this, Gu Changsheng’s voice, unable to hold back, carried a hint of a sob.

This son, though not born from love, yet she truly loved him more than life!

An arm wrapped around her shoulders, a large hand gently stroked her long hair, Gu Changsheng buried her head in Zhou Mu’s chest, crying silently.

She was not a weak person, but she was truly afraid! Truly afraid that her little flesh bundle would suffer!

Under the moonlight, the two who had just undergone the bride-pride ceremony held each other tightly, faces full of worry.

That night, the Gu Residence remained brightly lit, carriages after carriages, fine horses galloping into the residence, king’s decrees sent from the gate, arrows by the cartload brought into the residence, gunpowder lined up in front, and eight hundred elite soldiers, each with a face stern as cicadas in their armored attire, were busy in an orderly manner...

Borjigin Nian, dressed in battle clothes, stood behind Gu Changsheng with a backpack.

Gu Changsheng glanced at her, his eyes deepening, "You can’t go!"

The journey to the Southern Border was fraught with danger and Borjigin Nian, as the Northern Mongolian Princess, had no need to take such risks!

"Why? Gu Changsheng, do you really consider me a friend? Even Xiao Gu Ze calls me Aunt Nian. He was kidnapped, how can I sit by idly?" Borjigin Nian immediately retorted upon hearing this.

Gu Changsheng stood menacingly on the steps, watching his agile and orderly subordinates below, and said solemnly, "Do you see what those are? Nian, I regard you as a friend, which is why I won’t let you accompany me to the Southern Border. This mission is my family’s vengeance, not related to you. If you go, I won’t be able to look after you!"

Upon hearing this, Borjigin Nian stubbornly ran to her front, "Gu Changsheng, friends share life and death! Though I may not be as well-trained as your subordinates, my skills are decent and could be of some help!"

At this point, Borjigin Nian couldn’t help but glance at the Medicine Tower, where two people lay inside, one the man she fancied, and the other his childhood sweetheart...

Gu Changsheng followed her gaze, his lashes slightly drooping.

"Moreover, they dared to hurt Yue Xilou like that, I must avenge him!" Borjigin Nian said fiercely.

The man she fancied, no one else could touch!

"Aren’t you afraid of giving Yue Jianjia an opportunity?" Gu Changsheng asked, his expression unchanging.

Borjigin Nian was momentarily stunned. Heading to the Southern Border, it was unknown how long it would take to return. Yue Xilou was so injured that even with Gu Changsheng’s miracle elixirs, it would take at least several months before he could get out of bed!

Thinking of Yue Jianjia, who was equally severely injured, Borjigin Nian’s eyes also deepened.

"Gu Changsheng, I must go with you, don’t try to persuade me!" Borjigin Nian said resolutely, "If you don’t let me accompany you, then I will sneak there myself, and if something happens then, don’t regret it!"

Upon hearing this, Gu Changsheng knew there was no room for negotiation.

This friend, with whom she had shared life and death multiple times, she already owed her a lot, so she didn’t mind owing a bit more!

As for the military arrangements, she had taught everything there is to know, so now she didn’t need to worry at all!

"Wife, the porcelain vials are ready!" Si Xi came hurriedly, bowing as he spoke.

"Okay!" Gu Changsheng responded and stepped toward the Medicine Tower.

The soup medicine in the stove was bubbling, and seeing a row of porcelain vials, Gu Changsheng’s gaze grew stern.

The Chonghua Dagger in her sleeve flashed red, suddenly in hand.

"Gu Changsheng, what are you doing!" Borjigin Nian exclaimed in alarm and immediately flung herself forward, blocking Gu Changsheng’s action.

"My blood can counteract all Southern Border ’Gu’; they are risking their lives to go with me to the Southern Border, and I must not let them be buried there," Gu Changsheng said as she tried to shake off Borjigin Nian’s hand.

"You step aside, brother, to draw blood for prevention? Gu Changsheng, the Southern Border is far and treacherous; how much blood do you plan to draw, enough for over eight hundred subordinates?" Borjigin Nian asked, disapproval flashing in her eyes.

"I’ve already prepared blood tonic medicine, don’t worry, I can ensure they’ll all be without life-threatening concerns," Gu Changsheng said, her mouth curving into a reassuring smile. With a slight movement of her internal strength, she pushed away the blocking Borjigin Nian.

With a fleeting gleam from Chonghua, fresh blood flowed from Gu Changsheng’s delicate wrist. The sight of blood rising from the bottom of a large sea bowl was startling!

"Gu Changsheng! That’s enough, that’s enough! If you keep going, you’ll die!" Seeing Gu Changsheng’s face turning pale, Borjigin Nian spoke anxiously.

"I have my measure!" Blood still flowing from her wrist, Gu Changsheng knew the limits of blood donation and only stopped at the last moment, her body inevitably a bit unstable, "Add the anticoagulant I mixed, package it into the porcelain vials! Distribute to the vanguard troops!"

Holding her wrist, Gu Changsheng solemnly instructed Si Xi.

"Yes!" Si Xi, his face filled with concern, responded solemnly.

"Let me see your wrist! Is it still bleeding? How should we stop the blood?" Borjigin Nian ran over to check Gu Changsheng’s wrist.

Gu Changsheng dodged with a twist of her body, her sleeves covering her wrist; she could feel the wound already healing, the speed of healing so fast that even she was somewhat taken aback.

Picking up a dose of blood tonic soup medicine, Gu Changsheng tilted her head back and drank it down.

The vanguard troops, just a few dozen men, would lead the way, therefore, these preparations were for them!

"Don’t worry!" Gu Changsheng’s lips were still a bit pale; losing so much blood always required a few days to recover. freēnovelkiss.com

With her foster father holding the fort at the residence, Gu Changsheng was not worried. Zhou Mu had also been sent to arrange subsequent matters. Standing on the steps, Gu Changsheng gazed at the stars. She had prepared enough explosives, enough to astonish the world!

Changing the progress of this era at any cost, she was determined to pacify the Southern Border and rescue her son!

Explosives replacing cold weapons, this era would be thrown into chaos by her...

Is this right? Or wrong?

Or is this the arrangement of the heavens?
