Chapter 200 I’m lucky to have it
Emperor's City.
Ye Zirou smiled and looked at Bai Fan and asked, "Dad, you haven't told me yet, when did Xiao Ling become your apprentice?"
Bai Fan raised his chin slightly and cleared his throat, looking like a respected elder who was about to make an important speech.
He said slowly: "Why, your father can't I accept a disciple?"
"No, Dad, don't you already have Bai Yichen?" There was a hint of doubt in her tone.
"So what? Can't I accept a few more disciples?" Bai Fan raised his voice a few degrees and spoke righteously.
"What's more, Xiao Ling is really smart. In the medical field, she was born for this profession. She is calm and reserved, doesn't talk much, and has a strong observation ability. She is much better than that brat Yi Chen. She is exactly what I want!"
After saying that, he gently raised his hand and touched his mustache. The movement was elegant and natural, as if he was savoring the praise he had given to Xiao Ling.
"If Xiaoqing hears you praising Xiaoling like this, she'll be jealous again." Ye Zirou raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a playful smile.
There was a hint of mockery in her eyes, as if she was imagining Xiaoqing's jealous look.
"That's different. Xiaoqing doesn't have much talent in medicine, but she is good at managing the household and helping you run the restaurant and gambling house.
She is smart and capable, and she has arranged everything in an orderly manner. The restaurant is always full of customers, and the gambling house is also very lively. This is all due to Xiaoqing. The two girls around you are not simple!"
Bai Fan said this with a look of pride, as if the achievements of these two girls were all cultivated by him.
Ye Zirou smiled and said to Bai Fan: "Dad, these two girls really have their own strengths. I am lucky to have them by my side to help me."
Bai Fan stroked his beard and nodded in agreement.
At this time, Xiaoqing just brought over some snacks, and Xiaoling just came back from the clinic.
They heard Ye Zirou and Bai Fan's conversation from afar. When they heard Ye Zirou praising them, different expressions appeared on their faces.
Xiaoqing's eyes lit up instantly and a joyful smile appeared on her face.
She walked up quickly and said playfully, "Miss, you really think highly of me. Hehe, I will work harder to run the restaurant and the gambling house better."
Xiao Ling, on the other hand, seemed more reserved, her cheeks slightly flushed and a hint of shyness in her eyes.
She walked gently to Ye Zirou and whispered, "Miss, you are too kind. I am just trying my best to learn medicine. I will be more diligent in the future and live up to the expectations of Miss and Master."
Ye Zirou looked at the two lovely girls in front of her, her heart filled with warmth.
She smiled and took their hands.
"You two are both my good helpers."
Xiaoqing and Xiaoling looked at each other and nodded with a smile.
At this time, Wushuang and Long Er slowly returned from outside.
Wushuang's face was tense and his expression was extremely serious. He took a step forward with steady steps and said solemnly:
"Madam, news just came from the capital that the emperor has sent General Zhou to Tianzi City, and General Zhou has already set off.
The reason they claimed was that they came to persuade Master Mo to surrender. The emperor said that he hoped Master Mo could return to the capital, and as long as Master Mo made meritorious contributions again, he would be given the title again. "
After listening to Wushuang's report, Ye Zirou's face showed a thoughtful look.
She frowned slightly and asked doubtfully, "Persuading them to surrender? Did General Zhou come here alone?"
"That's not the case, ma'am." Wushuang shook his head and continued, "General Zhou leads a fairly large army."
Ye Zirou snorted coldly, her eyes revealing anger and disdain: "Humph, persuading you to surrender is fake, but sending troops is real, right? It seems that this dog emperor wants to set a trap to lure you into it!"
Just then, Mo Tianyu walked in from the door with steady steps.
His voice was deep and powerful: "Is it Zhou Bingren?"
After hearing Mo Tianyu's voice, everyone looked outside the door at the same time.
When Long Er heard Mo Tianyu's question, he immediately said, "Yes, Master Mo!"
Ye Zirou turned her gaze towards Mo Tianyu and asked doubtfully, "General Zhou? Is this the General Zhou I know?"
Mo Tianyu nodded slightly: "Yes!"
Ye Zirou's face was full of suspicion, and she said in confusion: "That dog emperor actually sent him here? Doesn't he know that General Zhou used to be under your command?"
"Even if you didn't know it before, you probably know it now." Mo Tianyu's tone was as calm as water.
Ye Zirou narrowed her eyes slightly and continued to ask, "Since he knew, why did he send him here? Did he think we wouldn't kill General Zhou?"
"How could he care about anyone's life or death? His goal is to kill me." Mo Tianyu looked ahead indifferently, as if he had seen through the emperor's conspiracy.
"Tianyu, what are your plans?" Ye Zirou asked.
"Let's see what his real intention is." Mo Tianyu narrowed his eyes slightly, his expression was calm, and he spoke in a calm tone.
"Do you know that General Zhou?" Ye Zirou stared at Mo Tianyu.
"Well, Zhou Bingren is a man of integrity, loyalty and righteousness. He can be considered a good general. Since I became ill, he has come to the palace to visit me many times.
But I didn't want to see anyone at that time, and I always kept him out. As time went by, we had less and less contact. Later, he was sent to guard the border, and I never saw him again until you saved his wife. "
Mo Tianyu recalled the past and slowly recounted his interactions with General Zhou.
"I see. When I first met him, I thought he was a good person. His eyes revealed sincerity and kindness, and he was very loyal to his wife.
When the lady was in danger, his anxious and worried expression was touching, so I helped her." Ye Zirou nodded and said thoughtfully.
"Now that he has been ordered to come here, he must have no choice." Mo Tianyu sighed, "No matter what, I don't want to see him in trouble."
Ye Zirou stood quietly by the side, her beautiful and intelligent eyes staring at Mo Tianyu, fully understanding his inner struggle at the moment.
She said softly, "Maybe after all these years, he has changed too? He always changes."
When Mo Tianyu heard this, his body trembled slightly, then he nodded slowly, indicating that he agreed with Ye Zirou's point of view.
"Maybe... But no matter what, I still hope that things won't get out of control." His voice was low and hoarse, revealing a deep worry.
Then, Ye Zirou's tone suddenly became firm and resolute, and she said coldly.
"It doesn't matter. No matter who comes here, if they dare to go against us, they will only have one fate - death!"
After thinking for a moment, Ye Zirou turned to Long Er and Wu Shuang and said, "Long Er, Wu Shuang, tell everyone to get ready. Send someone to keep a close eye on the movements of General Zhou and his entourage and report to us at any time. Also, strengthen the city's security to prevent any unexpected events."
Long Er and Wu Shuang looked serious and responded in unison: "Yes, ma'am."
Then the two turned and left.
