Oh no! Seven kids at the start, all yellow and skinny.

Chapter 97 Major News

The visitor was Bai Fu, the steward of Master Bai's courtyard. He was quite respectful: "I've heard that Boss Yun can cure difficult and complicated diseases. Now that our Master Bai is in trouble, if Boss Yun can help, the reward is not a problem."

“Butler Fu.” Mudfish walked out with its belly sticking out. “Our Boss Yun said that he can cure any difficult disease, but, before, your Fifth Master seemed to… right? So, if you want our Boss to take action, you have to kneel down at the door first.”

Bai Fu's smile froze. He wanted to get angry but didn't dare, and could only give an awkward laugh: "That was all a joke."

"Go back and ask. Our boss said that Fifth Master's condition is at least enough to last until tomorrow. If he can't be cured by noon tomorrow, then we can start preparing for his funeral. So, it's best to make a decision as soon as possible."

Bai Fu wasn't stupid. Upon hearing this, he knew that this Boss Yun was indeed capable of curing the disease. Not daring to delay, he could only hurriedly ride back, since he, as a steward, couldn't make the decision on this matter.

On the other side, Boss Jing had just finished practicing a set of sword techniques and breathed a satisfied sigh of relief, his body finally fully recovered.

"Congratulations, boss, your swordsmanship has improved again." Luo Yu smiled and handed over a towel.

Boss Jing took it and wiped the fine sweat from his forehead. Just as he was about to say something, he heard Old Chu's broken voice.

"Boss, breaking news..."

I almost tripped over the threshold when I came in.

"Take it easy," Luo Yu reminded him, then poured a glass of water and handed it to Boss Jing.

Old Chu steadied himself: "Boss, haha, Bai Laowu is in trouble..."

Boss Jing frowned: "Could you smile a little less? It's too ugly." He then curled his lips in disgust and took a sip of tea.

Old Chu quickly stopped smiling and then recounted what had happened.

Pfft! Boss Jing spat out the tea he had just drunk, spraying it all over Old Chu's face. He hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Sorry, I was just too surprised."

Old Chu hurriedly wiped his face: "It's nothing. I just saw Bai Fu riding his horse north. He must have gone to find Boss Yun."

"This Boss Yun is a real talent," Luo Yu, who had just walked over, couldn't help but remark.

"Hehe..." Old Jing laughed, "He is indeed a talented person."

"By the way, Boss Yun is a woman."

"A woman?" Boss Jing's smile faltered. "Are you sure it's a woman?"

"Yes, it's beautiful." Old Chu nodded. "Mudfish said so himself."

Boss Jing frowned slightly. For some reason, a woman's face suddenly flashed through his mind, and then he turned and walked out.

"Boss, where are you going?"

"Such a big event, I have to go and see it."

……

At this time, although the matter between Bai Wuye and Bai An was suppressed, the people who followed Bai An dared not keep it a secret and had already sent a messenger to inform the Marquis of Zhenbei.

After all, if something really happens, none of them will survive.

Of course, at this point, no one cared whether a concubine had run away.

Everyone knows that although this second young master is born out of wedlock, he is the darling of the Marquis; otherwise, the Marquis would not have personally brought him to the frontier to earn military merits.

After all, the Marquis has a legitimate son, who has already been granted the title of heir. If he wants his illegitimate son to rise to prominence, the only way would be to kill the legitimate son.

But even if the Marquis of Zhenbei were a complete scoundrel, he wouldn't do such a thing. Moreover, although he no longer loved his legal wife, he didn't dare to offend his wife's family.

More importantly, the eldest son, Bai Yang, was also truly outstanding. He passed the provincial examination at the age of sixteen. Although he was not the top scholar, his ranking was quite high. Moreover, he was so young that everyone would praise him as having a bright future.

Originally, Bai Yang was supposed to take the imperial examination the following year, but the Nan family suggested that he was too young and that even if he passed the examination, his ranking would not be very high. Moreover, he lacked experience in officialdom. Therefore, they decided to let Bai Yang take three years to prepare for the provincial examination, and he would participate in the metropolitan examination next year. According to his father-in-law, he would have no problem getting into the top three.

More importantly, this child is skilled in both literature and martial arts, making him a true heir to the Marquis's mansion.

That is the pride of the Bai family.

That's why the Marquis of Zhenbei thought of letting his illegitimate son earn military merits so that he could receive rewards upon returning home and thus have a promising future.

The Marquis of Zhenbei knew that his illegitimate son was a bit of a joke, and originally thought it was harmless. He thought it was fine for his son to play around with, but he never expected that he would almost kill himself.

Fortunately, Tianyang Pass is not far from Heicheng, and it only takes an hour to get there by fast horse.

Although I was mentally prepared, I still felt nauseous when I actually saw the situation inside the room.

"Can't they cure it?" Marquis Zhenbei closed his eyes briefly and glanced at the three doctors kneeling on the ground.

“My lord, we are too inexperienced to solve this problem,” an old doctor replied tremblingly.

The Marquis of Zhenbei took a deep breath and decided not to pursue the matter for the time being. Instead, he let the two military doctors who had come with him into the house. However, when the military doctors came out, they came to the same conclusion: they couldn't figure it out either.

"They're all useless." The Marquis of Zhenbei slammed his fist on the table, smashing it to pieces. He wanted to kill them, but he didn't dare, since doctors were extremely scarce. "Isn't there anyone who can treat them?"

Bai Fu hesitated for a moment before stepping forward: "Rumor has it that Boss Yun is a miracle doctor, specializing in treating difficult and complicated diseases, but..."

"Then let's call them over and give it a try."

"But the other party demanded that Fifth Master kneel down."

"What?" Marquis Zhenbei was taken aback.

Bai Fu hurriedly recounted what had happened.

"Heh." Marquis Zhenbei couldn't help but laugh. "A mere gang leader from Black City dares to be so arrogant." He paused for a moment, then said, "Bai Zhan, make a trip."

Bai Zhan was the personal bodyguard of the Marquis of Zhenbei, and he could represent the Marquis on many occasions. Having him appear was also a way of giving face to Boss Yun, that scoundrel.

Bai Fu hurriedly led the way.

Yunyi naturally wouldn't do nothing; she would make use of so many people.

Mudfish led a few people to keep a close eye on the situation at the Bai family's place. The group took turns running back to deliver messages, so there would be no information gap.

A few others went to inquire about the newcomers to Black City, while the rest stayed behind to help guard the gate and buy groceries and cook.

With so many people eating, He Miao couldn't possibly manage it all by herself.

Before, these people just made do, but now Yunyi had someone buy grain and cooked meat and vegetable rice. Those who came back would eat a bowl and then go out to inquire about information.

Those thugs used to just barely avoid starving by following Boss Chu; having enough to eat was a luxury. But now, not only can they eat their fill, but they also get meat and white rice. As a result, they are even more devoted to Yunyi and run around to her even more frequently.

"Xiao Bei, can you buy some medicinal herbs?" Yun Yi asked Zhao Xiao Bei during lunch.

"What kind of medicinal herbs does the boss need?"

What kind of products are available?
