What about the City Lord's Mansion?

Calling in doctors and pharmacists?

That's quite unusual.

Could it be that the city lord is ill?

That doesn't warrant such a grand display.

Lu Xuan guessed that something important must have happened.

"Let's go, I'll go with you and take a look."

Lu Xuan said.

He then gestured for Wen Lan to lead the way.

Wen Lan originally wanted to go and find pharmacists in other shops, but now that Old Master Lu was with her, there was no need for that at all.

With Elder Lu's help, there shouldn't be any problem.

"Alright, the carriage is ready."

Wen Lan gestured and said.

Then the two of them got into the carriage.

They headed towards the city lord's mansion.

However, they went through the back door.

As soon as Lu Xuan arrived at the City Lord's Mansion, he saw Xiao Yunshan and his men waiting to greet him at the entrance.

"Mr. Lu, you've come too! That's wonderful!"

When Xiao Yunshan saw Lu Xuan arrive, he was overjoyed and grabbed Lu Xuan as if he had found a savior.

This old man Lu is elusive, appearing and disappearing like a dragon.

Under normal circumstances, it's really not easy to find Lu Xuan.

What a coincidence!

"Manager Xu, thank you for making this trip to Guyun Pharmacy."

Xiao Yunshan also greeted Xu Jing and Wen Lan.

Given the current situation, the relationship between Xu Jing and Lu Xuan is self-evident.

Of course, this cannot be ignored.

"It's alright, Commander Xiao. What happened inside the manor?"

Xu Jing glanced into the depths of the courtyard with her beautiful eyes.

The fact that they were summoned in such a hurry clearly indicates that something important has happened.

"This is a bit complicated... but since Elder Lu is here, I'll tell you the truth..."

"A great man from the capital was attacked by a strange beast on the Jinyuan River. Fortunately, the city lord arrived in time and rescued him."

"However, this person is currently unconscious, and his face is terribly pale, as if he has been poisoned, and his whole body is emanating a chill."

"The city lord is helpless in the short term and can only ask you to take action and see if you can rescue the person."

Xiao Yunshan spoke with great conviction, which was quite frightening.

It's like someone is about to die.

"So that's how it is... What kind of important person is it?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Xuan couldn't help but ask.

What big shot or not?

Anyway, this wasn't his fault, so he's just here to join in the fun.

If he could help the city lord achieve some merit, that would be best, but if he couldn't do that, then there was nothing Lu Xuan could do.

After all, he's not a god who can solve everything.

Xiao Yunshan glanced around before finally standing in front of Lu Xuan and speaking in a low voice.

After all, the identity of this important person was originally kept secret.

"I heard he's a court musician."

"I used to be His Majesty's music teacher."

"The music and ceremonial official? A woman?"

Lu Xuan caught the key words, not because he was thinking about doing anything right now, but just asking a question out of habit.

"right."

Xiao Yunshan nodded.

If we're talking about a big shot, then he certainly qualifies as one.

But it doesn't seem to be that big.

Most importantly, the other party came from the palace and had a connection with His Majesty.

This was enough to put the entire city lord's mansion on edge.

After all, anything related to His Majesty is a big deal.

Why is this official in charge of rites and music here?

Judging from this, it seems to be a secret visit.

Xiao Yunshan didn't dare to talk to Lu Xuan for long either.

He gave a brief greeting and then led Lu Xuan, Xu Jing, and Wen Lan towards a quiet and elegant courtyard in the City Lord's Mansion.

At this moment, a few people had already gathered in twos and threes in the main hall of the elegant garden.

Lu Xuan also saw a familiar face, Chu Lingsheng was there too.

Beside Chu Lingsheng was an old man with a white beard and barely open eyes. This man was a third-grade alchemist from the Golden Origin Pill Hall.

In order to establish a strong reputation, the Chu family spent a considerable sum of money to invite this alchemist.

This person's name is Zhang Baicao.

Originally, Zhang Baicao, relying on his status as a third-grade alchemist, was quite arrogant when he was at the Golden Origin Pill Hall.

After all, reaching the level of a third-grade alchemist is not easy.

But when Lu Xuan went there last time, he casually showed off a few skills and managed to subdue Zhang Baicao completely.

This made him dare not show the slightest temper in front of Lu Xuan.

"Mr. Lu, you've come too."

When Zhang Baicao saw Lu Xuan, he quickly stood up and clasped his hands in greeting.

"Old Zhang, sit down... sit down... no need to be so polite."

Lu Xuan also clasped his hands in a salute.

Besides Chu Lingsheng and his group, the other people sitting in the room were all prominent figures in Jinyuan City.

They were all well-known doctors or pharmacists in the city.

However, upon seeing Lu Xuan, these people all stood up in unison without any surprise, clasped their hands in greeting, and greeted him.

She didn't have the arrogant demeanor she displayed in front of outsiders at all.

You should know that these are people who are rarely seen on ordinary days.

For example, the doctors at Baiyun Medical Clinic generally wouldn't easily make a consultation without charging three to five thousand taels of silver.

After all, I've studied medicine for so many years.

It's not for treating poor people.

Healing the sick and saving lives can wait until one has eaten one's fill.

They all usually have a very grand entrance.

If it weren't for the City Lord's Mansion, they wouldn't have gathered here so quickly.

We have to give the City Lord's Mansion some face.

When they saw Lu Xuan, they all lowered their posture to the lowest possible level.

"Hehe, Mr. Lu, how have you been lately?"

"Mr. Lu, it's me, Xiao Zheng. Do you remember me?"

"We are all ashamed of ourselves in Elder Lu's condition..."

Everyone rushed forward to flatter him.

This is also one of the benefits of having status and position.

In addition, his age is a factor to consider.

If it were a young person, even if they had real skills, they might still be looked down upon and ridiculed by the other party.

Then, they will use methods to refute his claims.

But such a thing could not happen to Lu Xuan.

Even if Lu Xuan didn't have much strength, just his age and appearance in this setting would make people think twice about who this old guy was.

"Please sit down, please sit down..."

Lu Xuan waved his hand; how could he possibly recognize which one was which?

"Mr. Lu, please take a seat..."

"Yes, please take a seat, Elder Lu."

Lu Xuan was also led to the front seat by the enthusiastic invitation of the crowd.

Lu Xuan didn't stand on ceremony either.

Xu Jing and Wen Lan also took their seats.

Putting aside her relationship with Lu Xuan, Xu Jing is the steward of this Gu Yun Pharmacy, and her status is a notch above everyone else present.

No matter how good your medical skills are, you still have to get your medicine from Gu Yun Pharmacy.

After all, half of the medicinal herbs in your shop are supplied by Guyun Pharmacy.

A series of hurried footsteps came from outside the house.

Everyone looked over.

It was City Lord Yi Shuhe who arrived.

"Mr. Lu, you've come too!?"

When Yi Shuhe saw Lu Xuan, he always greeted Lu Xuan first.

Only then did he clasp his hands in a fist salute to the others.

"Thank you all for your help tonight..."
