Gu Santong wasn't a petty person, but anyone would feel uncomfortable if they were tricked like this. Moreover, the other party wanted to kill him, so he was even more unforgivable.
"No, Master, after you save Master's wife, hide first. Don't act rashly!”Zhu Houzhao hurriedly said.
"What's wrong? Are you afraid that I can't beat an old pig? Don't worry, I've absorbed many experts from the eight great sects over the years, and my internal strength has also increased a lot. As long as I heal my injuries, even if that old pig has absorbed many experts, I'm still confident!”Gu Santong said confidently.
In fact, Zhu Houzhao did not doubt this. Even if Gu Santong couldn't defeat Zhu Bujue, he wouldn't lose.
In the original novel, Cheng Fei, who obtained his power, lost to Zhu Bujue, but the difference was not big. Moreover, this was because Zhu Bujue had absorbed the power of the Xiangxi Four Ghosts and Cao Zhengchun.
In addition, Cheng Fei had lost a portion of his power in the process of inheriting it. Therefore, Gu Santong's power was definitely not inferior to the current Zhu Bujue.
However, Zhu Houzhao was the Emperor, and he and Zhu Bujue were in the royal court. The imperial court was different from the martial arts world, where one could settle grudges at will.
It didn't matter if Zhu Bujue died, but the power he held was too great. If there wasn't a legitimate reason, killing Zhu Bujue would definitely cause chaos in the world.
It was just like how Zhu Budian could have easily killed Cao Zhengchun, but he had never made a move. As the saying went, they needed a reason to kill the other party.
Therefore, Zhu Houzhao could only tell Gu Santong about the powerful relationship between them!
"You're like an old pig, both of you are talented and resourceful people. Your Zhu family is too scheming. But since you said so, I'll let this old pig go for now.”
Gu Santong was silent for a long time after hearing this. Clearly, he was also weighing the pros and cons. However, in the end, he still agreed to Zhu Houzhao's request.
"Thank you, Master. Disciple is extremely grateful. Please rest assured, Master. I will not do anything to let you down.”Zhu Houzhao bowed respectfully to Gu Santong.
"Alright, this place is dark and humid. It's really not a good place. Quickly bring me out!" Gu Santong, who did not want to say anything else, waved his hand and walked out first.
"Master, please!"
Zhu Houzhao put a mask on Gu Santong's head. On one hand, it was to prevent him from being recognized, and on the other hand, it was to prevent him from not seeing the sun for a long time. If he saw the sun rashly, his eyes would be burned.
Gu Santong did not object to Zhu Houzhao's actions. Gu Santong was even more satisfied with Zhu Houzhao's attentiveness. Moreover, Zhu Houzhao had such a mentality when he was still in his teens, so he was more confident that Zhu Houzhao could take down Zhu Bujue.
After the three of them left, a man in black carried a black sack into the ninth floor of the imperial prison. When the man in black opened the sack, a corpse was revealed.
If one looked closely, one would discover that this person actually bore an 80% resemblance to Gu Santong. However, this corpse seemed older and did not have the domineering aura of Gu Santong.
"Your Majesty is really meticulous. No one will find out about this.”The man in black put down the corpse and sighed in his heart.
The corpse that Zhu Houzhao had arranged was not only similar to Gu Santong in appearance. Even the calluses on his hands that were formed from years of practicing martial arts were almost identical.
In addition, the method of death of this corpse was the Pure Yang Finger!
If Zhu ignored the corpse, he would definitely find out that this person had died because of the Pure Yang Finger.
As for the destruction in the surroundings, it was even easier to explain. Because Gu Santong's meridians had hardened, when he dispersed his cultivation, it caused such a terrifying destructive force.
After putting down the corpse, the man in black quickly left the ninth floor of the imperial prison with the sack as if he had never appeared.
"Eunuch Sun, go to The World's First Manor and invite the world's number one divine doctor.”Zhu Houzhao ordered Eunuch Sun as he brought Gu Santong and Cheng Fei back to the Imperial Palace.
"Yes, this old servant will go and invite the world's number one divine doctor!”How could Eunuch Sun dare to be negligent? After hearing Zhu Houzhao's order, he immediately headed to the World's Greatest Manor.
Although Haitang was still learning from Young Master Wuhen, it did not mean that The World's Best Manor was not around. In reality, The World's Best Manor had been established for more than ten years. It was only later that Haitang became the manor lord of The World's Best Manor.
The World's Best Manor had a lot of World's Best. Although there were trash like the World's Best Lazy Man, there were also many capable people among them.
And the number one divine doctor in the world was one of them!
"Master, I can only trouble you to not show your face for the time being.”Zhu Houzhao said apologetically.
"It's fine. As long as you can cure my injuries and let me save Suxin, I'm willing to do anything.”Gu Santong was not too concerned about this.
This was because Gu Santong didn't care about his reputation other than his martial arts being the best in the world. Otherwise, he wouldn't have the title of the Undefeated Wanderer!
Hiding his identity temporarily was nothing to him.
Soon, the world's number one divine doctor followed Eunuch Sun to the Imperial Palace. Although he was under the management of The Best Manor, he still had to listen to the emperor's orders.
Especially now that Zhu Budian was pretending to be loyal to the emperor and the country, his subordinates naturally would not disobey the emperor's orders.
Gu Santong was hiding behind the bead curtain while the world's number one divine doctor was taking his pulse outside!
"How is it?" Zhu Houzhao returned to his dignified emperor and asked in a condescending manner.
"Your Majesty, this person was injured by pure Yang Qi. Moreover, it has been a long time, and his meridians have begun to harden. If he didn't receive treatment in time, he probably wouldn't last long.”
The world's number one divine doctor was indeed the world's number one divine doctor. He knew Gu Santong's illness with just a pulse.
"Is there a treatment method?"
Of course, Zhu Houzhao knew about Gu Santong's injury. Therefore, he did not listen to the world's number one divine doctor's long-winded words. Instead, he directly asked about the treatment method.
"There are three ways to treat this warrior's injuries. The first was to use a soft and gentle inner force to forcefully disperse this force. The second was to slowly dissolve the cold and Yin treasures. The third was the most difficult, which was to revive the dead with the Heavenly Fragrance Cardamom.”
"This…"
As soon as the world's number one divine doctor finished speaking, Cheng Fei could not help but interrupt. This was because none of the three methods mentioned by the world's number one divine doctor was simple.
Not to mention the Heavenly Fragrance Cardamom, it was impossible. The Heavenly Fragrance Cardamom had to be saved to save Suxin. And even if he wanted to use it, two would not be enough.
As for the first two? Who could compare to Zhu Bujue in terms of internal strength? Gu Santong could do it, but his internal strength was extremely hard and yang, not extremely soft and yin.
There were three methods, but there was only one!
