My father Zhu Gaoxu

Chapter 140
Zhu Zhanhe and Zhu Yong carried Zhang Zhong into the carriage, and after Zhang Zhong gave an address, the coachman immediately rode his horse and left the British residence.

Zhang Zhong's face was pale and his eyes were closed. There was blood all over his body, soaking through his clothes.

Zhu Zhanhe wanted to help Zhang Zhong check the injury, but unexpectedly Zhang Zhong opened his eyes suddenly, shook his head and refused, "Zhanhe, don't be too busy, my injury is not a problem, and someone will heal me later!"

Hearing what Zhang Zhong said, Zhu Zhanhe was not easy to check. He wanted to comfort him a few words, but he didn't know what to say?
As for Zhang Zhong, when Zhu Zhanhe first met him, he was somewhat curious about him, because Zhang Zhong was very mysterious in history, and there were only a few records in history books.

As the son of the duke of the state, Zhu Yong has detailed records in the history books, including when he was born, when he became a prince, and even what he did in the middle, and how he died in the Tumu Fortress. Everything is clearly recorded.

But Zhang Zhong is different. As the eldest son of the British Duke Zhang Fu, even for a long time, Zhang Zhong was the only son of Zhang Fu. It was not until Zhang Fu's later years that he had another son from a concubine. That is, the second British Duke Zhang Mao in history.

But the strange thing is that Zhang Zhong, as the eldest son, did not inherit the title of Duke of England. Instead, after Zhang Fu died, it was passed on to his nine-year-old concubine Zhang Mao.

As for Zhang Zhong, the history books only said that he was disabled, so he was unable to become a prince, but the history books did not say what kind of disability he was.

Now Zhu Zhanhe seriously doubts whether Zhang Zhong was maimed by Zhang Fu?

The carriage traveled through several streets, and finally stopped in front of a small courtyard by the Qinhuai River.

Zhu Zhanhe knocked on the door, and Zhu Yong got out of the carriage with Zhang Zhong on his back.

There was only a sound of footsteps coming from the courtyard, and then a beautiful young woman opened the courtyard door, and when she saw Zhu Zhanhe outside, she was also taken aback for a moment.

"Yunniang? Zhang Zhong actually hid you here!"

Zhu Yong, who was carrying Zhang Zhong on his back, couldn't help shouting in surprise when he saw this woman.

When Zhu Zhanhe heard the words, he suddenly remembered that Zhang Zhong once redeemed a famous prostitute named Yun Niang, and it seemed to be the woman in front of him.

"Young Master Zhu admitted the wrong person. There is no more Yunniang in this world. The little girl's name is Bai Shao."

Bai Shao bowed to Zhu Zhanhe and Zhu Yong, then walked quickly to Zhang Zhong, and said reproachfully: "I said earlier that I wouldn't let you go back, but you didn't listen, now you're going to be beaten!"

"I was wrong. I was thinking about this Shangyuan Festival. I went back to see my mother, but I didn't expect to meet him again!"

Zhang Zhong's pale face was covered with sweat, but he still showed some apology and said to Bai Shao.

Seeing Zhang Zhong's bruises all over his body, Bai Shao couldn't bear to blame him anymore, so he asked Zhu Yong to send Zhang Zhong to the room in the yard, and took out the medicine box to bandage Zhang Zhong's wound himself.

Zhu Zhanhe wanted to see Zhang Zhong's injury in person, but Bai Shao kicked him out of the room, but he had no choice but to wait outside with Zhu Yong.

After a while, Bai Shao treated Zhang Zhong's wound well, and then invited Zhu Zhanhe and Zhu Yong into the bedroom.

I saw Zhang Zhong lying on the bed wrapped like a mummy except for his head, but his face was much better than before.

"Zhan He, Brother Zhu, I made you laugh!"

Zhang Zhong struggled to prop up his body, half lying on the bed, showing a pale smile to Zhu Zhanhe and the others.

As an adult, let his friends see how embarrassed he was when he was beaten, which made Zhang Zhong feel ashamed.

"Why are you being polite to us? When were you beaten before, didn't we come to rescue you?"

But Zhu Yong sat down on the chair next to the bed carelessly, and Bai Shao also brought tea to the two of them at this time.

"Brother Zhang, why did British Duke hit you?"

Zhu Zhanhe couldn't help but asked again.

"When a father wants to beat his son, he doesn't need any reason. If he really wants to find a reason, it may be that I stepped into the house with my right foot instead of my left foot, and I will be beaten up by him!"

Zhang Zhong said calmly, when he mentioned Zhang Fu, he didn't even want to call him father.

"If you want me to tell you, you might as well not go home in the future, or you will be beaten to death by your father sooner or later!"

At this time, Zhu Yong began to persuade.

"Let's see and talk about this, but I will live in Bai Shao to recuperate during this period of time."

Zhang Zhong said vaguely that although he had no feelings for Zhang Fu, he couldn't let go of other people in the family, such as his mother.

"Brother Zhang, tell me the truth, why is the Duke of England so cruel to you, and even wants to beat you to death directly? This is really not like what a normal father would do?"

Zhu Zhanhe couldn't help asking again.

Zhang Zhong is the eldest son, and also the only son of Zhang Fu. No matter how cruel Zhang Fu is, it is impossible for his son to be so ruthless. Therefore, Zhu Zhanhe seriously doubts whether Zhang Zhong is Zhang Fu's real son. ?
Hearing Zhu Zhanhe's question, Zhang Zhong lowered his head and remained silent.

At this time, Bai Shao who was next to him suddenly bowed to Zhu Zhanhe and said, "Your Majesty, you don't need to ask any more, everyone has some secrets that you don't want others to know, and you, as your son's friend, shouldn't make things difficult for him!"

"This... ok!"

Zhu Zhanhe is helpless, what Bai Shao said makes sense, everyone has their own secrets, for example, he will never tell anyone about his time travel.

"No!"

Unexpectedly, at this moment, Zhang Zhong suddenly stretched out his hand and pulled Bai Shao to his side, his expression became very decisive.

"Zhan He, Brother Zhu, you are all my brothers who grew up together, and there are certain things that I shouldn't keep from you!"

"Son!"

Bai Shao next to him heard what Zhang Zhong said, and immediately changed his face and wanted to stop it.

But Zhang Zhong smiled slightly at Bai Shao and said: "Don't worry, I believe in Zhan He and Zhu brother's behavior, if they dislike me because of my physical disability, I will never blame them!"

"Physically disabled? Brother Zhang, stop joking. You have sound limbs and five sense organs. How can you be disabled?"

Zhu Yong asked very puzzled when he heard this.

Zhu Zhanhe next to him frowned, some disabilities are not just defects in limbs and five sense organs.

Zhang Zhong looked at Zhu Zhanhe and Zhu Yong, then took a deep breath, and then slowly said: "I do have a disability, because I am a eunuch!"

"what!"

Hearing this, Zhu Yong yelled and jumped up from the chair. He never dreamed that Zhang Zhong was so handicapped. For men, Tianxiong is a natural eunuch, and it is impossible for him to have children. No wonder Zhang Fu would be so disabled. Dislike Zhang Zhong.

When Zhu Zhanhe heard the word "Heavenly Eunuch", apart from being shocked, he felt suddenly enlightened.

Now everything makes sense, no wonder Zhang Zhong didn’t allow himself to check his injuries just now, no wonder Zhang Fu didn’t like Zhang Zhong so much, no wonder Zhang Mao inherited the title from a concubine in history, all because Zhang Zhong couldn’t have children, It can be said that from the beginning of his birth, he was doomed to a tragedy of fate.

"Brother Zhang, you won't be joking with me, you are Tianxiong, how can you be with Yunniang... no, how can you be with Bai Shao?"

Zhu Yong came to his senses at this moment, and asked Zhang Zhong very excitedly. This news was really shocking to him.

"Brother Zhu, calm down!"

But Zhu Zhanhe pulled Zhu Yong back to the chair, lest he ask these irrelevant questions again.

"Brother Zhang, as far as I know, there are many kinds of eunuchs. Is your situation serious?"

Zhu Zhanhe asked Zhang Zhong with concern.

"This one……"

Zhang Zhong didn't seem to know how to answer such a private question. Finally, he pointed to Bai Shao beside him and said, "Let Bai Shao tell you, she is proficient in medical skills. When I ransom her, I wanted her to help me heal. .”

"That's right, Bai Shao was famous for her medical skills in the past, especially her proficiency in andrology. It is said that after taking the medicine prescribed by her, the eighty-year-old man can make my concubine conceive another son!"

Zhu Yong next to him slapped his hands again and said excitedly.

There are so many beautiful women on the Qinhuai River, so the competition is naturally fierce. Those who can be called famous prostitutes are almost all skilled.

For example, some women are proficient in poetry and painting, and some are proficient in music. As for Bai Shao, who is proficient in medical skills, although it is rare, it is precisely because of this that more people are flocking to Bai Shao. She redeemed herself.

"Miss Bai, can you cure brother Zhang's illness?"

Zhu Zhanhe looked at Bai Shao with a suspicious look, not because he looked down on Bai Shao, but because of Tian Xie's disability, which is impossible to cure in this era.

Even in future generations, it would still be very troublesome, and it would even require a lot of surgery and some medicines to improve.

Facing Zhu Zhanhe's questioning eyes, Bai Shao seemed a little flustered, but finally nodded and said: "Yes!"

"Then how does Miss Bai plan to treat Brother Zhang's illness? Do you use acupuncture or decoction?"

Zhu Zhanhe sneered in his heart, and asked Bai Shao again.

Although the other party has no grievances or enmities with him, he can't let the other party deceive his brother.

"I... I give you acupuncture once every three days, and then take it with decoction. Although the effect is slow, after a long period of time, there may be some effect."

Bai Shao bit the bullet and replied.

She had heard Zhang Zhong mention Zhu Zhanhe many times, and knew that Zhu Zhanhe was also proficient in medicine, so she definitely could not be fooled casually.

"Hmph! Even if you have a poor background, you can't deceive my brother like this!"

Zhu Zhanhe slapped the table angrily when he heard this, Zhang Zhong was already pitiful enough, but he didn't expect to be deceived by others, how could acupuncture and decoctions be able to cure a disability like Tianxiong?
"The slave is guilty!"

Bai Shao fell to her knees in fright. She had indeed lied to Zhang Zhong at the beginning, because she wanted to get out of the sea of ​​suffering, and hoped that Zhang Zhong would redeem her body, so she lied to the other party that she could cure his illness, but she did not expect to be exposed by Zhu Zhanhe today up.

"Zhanhe, don't blame Bai Shao, in fact, I knew she was lying to me!"

Unexpectedly, Zhang Zhong on the hospital bed smiled slightly, and said without any hesitation.

"My lord, did you already know?"

Bai Shao raised her head in shock when she heard the words, and looked at Zhang Zhong in disbelief. She thought she was hiding it well, and even urged Zhang Zhong to take some harmless tonics every day, but she didn't expect that Zhang Zhong had already See through her tricks.
