Chapter 1174 Let Him Go Wild

On the other hand, Gu Chengyong's eldest sons, who were held hostage in the capital, received almost no private property from Gu Chengyong and lived a relatively poor life.

"No, I don't want to." Gu Xuan shook his head instinctively; he didn't want to be laughed at.

He thought, "Why can't we just have my father submit a memorial to the throne and pass the position of Commander-in-Chief to me? That way, I can manage the Commander-in-Chief's Office well with the old troops my father gave me, and that would be perfect."

"..." Su Qianhu was shocked, so shocked that he didn't even think to slap Gu Xuan.

"Guards! Doctor Shi, Doctor Gu, Doctor Su, come in quickly!" Commander Su shouted.

The three chief stewards were alarmed, fearing that Gu Xuan would faint again, and hurriedly brought three highly skilled senior doctors into the main camp.

"Uncle Su, the three senior doctors have arrived."

Commander Su had calmed down, but he still subtly instructed the three doctors: "Give Xuan-ge a good check-up, especially... to see if his repeated fainting spells have caused any brain damage."

Commander Su believed that Gu Xuan must have fainted and injured his brain, which was why he said such crazy things as asking his brother-in-law to pass on the position of Commander-in-Chief directly to him.

Who do you think you are?
Who do you think your father is?
Without the emperor's approval or the consultation of his court officials, how could I entrust you with the military power of an entire province?
This is not the end of the Great Yong Dynasty, nor is it the era when regional governors were conquering the world. There is no practice of directly passing the position to one's son!
Gu Xuan was dizzy and didn't struggle. He lay on the soft pillow, closed his eyes and pretended to sleep. He even instructed the third steward: "Brew some divine tea to refresh me and relieve my pain."

He then said to the three doctors, "Is there anything more potent than the Divine Tea? Write it down for me. My mouth is bitter, my tongue is numb, and I'm dizzy and lightheaded. The effects of the Divine Tea are no longer very effective."

This?
The three senior doctors frowned, said nothing, and focused on examining him to see if he had a brain disease.
The third steward then went to brew a cup of divine tea for Gu Xuan... It must be said that the taste of this divine tea was indeed refreshing and tempting. Just smelling it made the third steward have the urge to sneak a few sips.

Fortunately, the third steward was a good servant and knew that the Gu family was a military family, and that their methods of executing servants were too terrifying, so he didn't dare to steal a drink.

"Young Master Xuan, the divine tea is here." Before the Third Steward could finish speaking, Gu Xuan snatched the divine tea and gulped down more than half of it.

The next moment, he felt completely alive again, feeling refreshed and no longer tired or sore. He felt incredibly well.

To put it simply, if the Eastern Desert army were to attack at this moment, Gu Xuan would dare to immediately lead his troops to fight the enemy!
When the old military doctor smelled the divine tea, his heart sank. He reminded him, "Young Master Xuan, the divine tea can indeed refresh you, but it is a strong substance. Drinking it too often will harm your health."

It will hurt your brain.

Gu Xuan has become increasingly willful and speaks recklessly lately, probably because he's been drinking too much of that "miracle tea" and it's hurting his brain.

Commander Su hurriedly pressed, "Harmful to the body? Which part of the body is harmed? Childbirth?"

My brother-in-law wants to arrange a marriage for his beloved son, Gu Xuan, with a noblewoman from a prestigious family, preferably a legitimate daughter. However, Gu Xuan is an illegitimate son and has no talent or official position. Noble ladies from the capital and Jiangnan look down on him, which is why Gu Xuan is still unmarried.

Therefore, Gu Xuan's fertility must not be damaged.

The old military doctor also had family and apprentices, so he knew better than to say, "Reporting to Commander Su, Young Master Xuan's physical abilities have not been damaged yet, but such a potent substance as Divine Tea must be consumed in moderation. It should not be drunk for a long time or in large quantities... No matter how good something is, if you eat too much of it, it will be harmful to your health."

Dr. Gu and Dr. Su: As expected of veteran military doctors, they are not only highly skilled in medicine, but also eloquent.

The two senior doctors also chimed in, saying, "What the old military doctor said is absolutely right; that's exactly what I think too."

Gu Xuan is the future of the Su family. Su Qianhu values ​​him highly. He took the teacup and poured the remaining 30% of the divine tea onto the ground.

"Uncle!" Gu Xuan was heartbroken and wished he could throw himself on the ground and lick the tea spilled on the floor.

With a bang, Commander Su pressed down on Gu Xuan and said seriously, "Lie down properly and let the three senior doctors examine you thoroughly."

After examining Gu Xuan, the three senior doctors discussed the matter at length and prescribed three different herbal formulas for him: "You must drink these three herbal decoctions in the morning, noon, and evening... and drink the next one half an hour later, but you must drink all of them."

"What do you mean?" Gu Xuan was completely bewildered.

After the three senior doctors explained to him, he shouted, "People only eat three meals a day, but you want me to take nine doses of medicine! Are you trying to drink me to death?!" The three senior doctors, having been scolded, could not express their dissatisfaction, and had to explain gently, "Young Master Xuan, these three medicines are for treating summer heat entering the body, calming the mind and nourishing the brain, and for general health. They are all beneficial to you."

It's still treatable now, so just take the medicine as prescribed by your doctor.

If you continue to resist taking the medicine, and there's no cure, we'll just prescribe any medicine to deal with you.

Commander Su took the three prescriptions, read them over and over again, and carefully asked the three senior doctors what each medicine was for and what its effects were.

After asking the questions, he felt relieved and then instructed the third steward: "Do as the three senior doctors said. Remember to brew the medicine every morning, noon and evening and serve it to your young master Xuan."

Gu Xuan slumped back onto the bed with a thud, looking utterly dejected.

"Yes." The third steward replied and took the prescription.

After giving Gu Xuan another round of acupuncture, the three senior doctors took their leave.

The three stewards went with them to get the medicine.

Gu Xuan was still half-dead.

Commander Su earnestly advised, "Ah Xuan, you must listen to me and take your medicine. Only after you have recovered can you seize this opportunity to achieve great things and establish a great career."

“You’re the same age as Jiang Dalang, while Liang Zhi is even younger than you, yet he’s already a household commander. What are their family backgrounds? They’ve only been in the Northeast for a few years. You must surpass them, understand?”

Gu Xuan became extremely agitated and started yelling, "Why are you forcing me to be ambitious? Can't I just inherit the family business?!"

Bang, bang, bang, bang!

Gu Xuan smashed everything he could get his hands on, then pointed at Su Qianhu and said, "Shut up! You shut up! My father is of higher status than you. I am my father's most beloved son. You have no right to tell me to shut up. Only my father and I can tell you to shut up!"

...Commander Su didn't know how he got out of the main camp.

In short, Gu Xuan had stopped his madness before he left the main camp.

He stood in the night wind for a long, long time before finally leaving the main camp area. Before leaving, he warned the Gu family martial arts instructors and the soldiers nearby: "Watch your mouths, or you will be punished according to military law!"

"Yes!" the soldiers and martial arts instructors replied.

Su Qianhu did not sleep all night.

Early the next morning, a personal guard reported: "Reporting to Commander-in-Chief, Commander-in-Chief Ling, Elder Qiong, Magistrate Kang, and others have arrived at the barricades of the Wei army's defenses, awaiting news from the capital city. They request that we send more troops to the moat to urge General Chu, Commander-in-Chief Fan, and others to send someone to meet them as soon as possible. After the meeting, they need to rush back to the main camp in Dongfu Town to take care of the Wei civilians who have fled the disaster."

roll!
The word was on the tip of his tongue, but Commander Su finally held it back and said, "Tell them that we have already sent someone to urge them, and they can just wait patiently."

"Yes!" The guard left.

But Qin Er was too difficult to deal with; he urged him ten times in one hour, ten times!

Fortunately, General Chu's troops, along with Commander Fan, finally arrived with their team.

"Second Master Qin! Haha, it's great to see the Qin family again! How are your patriarch, Master Qin, and Brother Jiang's family?" Commander Fan called out from afar.

He had been worried about the safety of the Qin family, so he took advantage of a break from his shift to come in person to see the Qin family and to personally deliver some confidential letters to them, so that they wouldn't be seen by others under the pretext of inspection.
