Chapter 304 Repeated defeats and battles
Finally, only the three siblings were left in the teahouse at Zheng Gongmiao Xiaju.
Zhang Xueming held his forehead and sighed, "I'm convinced. It turns out that in the past ten years, the only one in the Gong family who has never been hungry is Gong Ziyu... Oh, no, there should also be that bastard of Shang Gong. So in the palace, those who work are hungry, and only those who don't work can have enough food to eat?"
Gong Shangjiao had nothing to say and just pretended not to hear.
He didn't expect that there would be such a ridiculous thing.
If Gong Zishang hadn't asked and Gong Huanyu hadn't said it, who would have known that among Gong Yu's once "perfect" family of four, there was also one person who was always hungry?
The younger brother spent a lot of money on Wanhua Tower, but the older brother has never had enough to eat since he was adopted. How ridiculous!
"Gong Huanyu can actually grow so tall and strong. If he could eat his fill every day, what would he look like?" Gong Yuanzheng suddenly had an idea, "Could this also be a 'benefit' our ancestors left us?"
"It's hard to say." Zhang Xueming took a sip of tea, estimated the time, stood up and said, "I'm sleepy, I'm going back to sleep first, I won't have supper with you guys tonight."
Gong Yuanzheng sent her back to Huachaoju. Even though he was reluctant to see their time together at night end, he still hoped that she could have a good rest.
After Gong Shangjiao had his midnight snack and returned to Zhongchunju, Gong Yuanzheng stood alone in the empty tea room for a while, then took a shower and changed his clothes and went into the pharmacy.
He walked back and forth inside, but he had no interest in doing anything. He lay down on the beauty couch and covered himself with the royal blue satin quilt.
There was still a faint scent left by the beloved in the quilt. He breathed in greedily, and his whole body shrank into that scent.
The quilt blocked the light, and darkness enveloped him. Without the subtle sounds of another person working, he couldn't sleep.
After lying there for an unknown amount of time, Gong Yuanzheng got up and moved the quilt to make it look like someone was lying inside.
He concentrated on grinding the herbs, glancing towards the beauty bed from time to time, pretending that Zhang Xueming was sleeping soundly there.
It's not all about success if the new version of Herborist is successfully prepared. He needs to make more poisons and functional medicines.
When Zhang Xueming set out to clean up Wu Feng, he hoped that he could help instead of just staying in a safe place and waiting for her to come back.
Suddenly, there was a sound of a light knock on the window frame of the secret pharmacy, followed by a sentence from Zhang Xueming through the soul mark: [A Yuan, are you asleep? ]
Gong Yuanzheng's eyes lit up, and like a puppy called by its master, he happily opened the sliding door and rushed to the window: [Wait, Zhaozhao, I'll open the window for you.]
I opened the window and saw Zhang Xueming standing outside.
[Please move aside so I can come in. ]
Gong Yuanzheng quickly made way, and saw Zhang Xueming flying in from the window as light as a swallow flying through the forest, bringing in a gust of cold wind.
After closing the window and tucking in the black cloth covering the window, Zhang Xueming turned around and fell into his warm embrace.
[Why don't you take a good rest? ] He asked himself, but his arms tightened.
[I can’t sleep without you by my side.] Zhang Xueming hugged him and gently rubbed his chest.
Gong Yuanzheng remained silent, but just held his arms tighter and rested his chin on the top of her head, not knowing what he was thinking.
[Okay, let go.] Zhang Xueming patted his back, [The effect of the inhibitor has worn off, I'm going to vomit blood again soon.]
In fact, the time has long passed. Otherwise, why would she be so busy going back to Huachaoju? She didn't even have a midnight snack.
Zhang Xueming was glad that she left quickly. She had vomited half a basin of blood when she returned once before. The scene was too tragic. If Gong Yuanzheng had seen it, losing gold beans would be the least of his trouble. It would be troublesome if he treated her as a fragile object from then on.
Gong Yuanzheng let go reluctantly.
[Let’s go get the tools and bamboo strips to the pharmacy. I want to make lanterns.]
Fearing that she would be bored, Gong Yuanzheng brought all the boxes of colorful ropes and gold threads for making loops, boxes of picture albums and line drawings, boxes of colored paper... to the pharmacy.
Zhang Xueming's territory expanded again. Except for the three laboratory tables they frequently used, all the other laboratory tables were pushed together by Gong Yuanzheng.
Gong Yuanzheng was grinding medicinal herbs, glancing over from time to time to see her sitting on a low stool trimming bamboo strips, causing bamboo chips to fly everywhere. He just curled the corners of his mouth silently.
As soon as a dose of medicine was prepared, Gong Yuanzheng was urged to lie down on the beauty couch. Zhang Xueming took out a palm-sized hand warmer from his sleeve like a magic trick and stuffed it into his hand.
There must be scented tablets in the hand warmer, which gave off a sweet grape scent, the same scent that had been on her clothes during this period. On the thick ultramarine satin cover, there was an embroidered picture of a yellow-haired puppy lying on its back with its tongue hanging out.
[Give it to me? 】
[Yes, this is one for you, and mine is a pair. Go to sleep.]
[Okay.] Gong Yuanzheng grabbed the hand warmer, sniffed it gently, stroked the embroidery on it, and closed his eyes in satisfaction.
When he woke up in the morning, he didn't find any lanterns in the pharmacy. Gong Yuanzheng asked curiously: "Where are the lanterns made by Zhao Zhao?"
[It’s different from what I imagined. I don’t have any inspiration. I’m doing something else.] Zhang Xueming lied without changing his expression.
Gong Yuanzheng had no doubts. He sent her out through the back window, washed up, and then went to Huachaoju to pick her up.
Not long after, Gong Shangjiao also came.
After breakfast, the three of them sat in different places in the tea room, some practicing calligraphy, some painting, and some playing the piano.
Half an hour later, everyone went back to change into their military uniforms, picked up their weapons, and headed to the training ground.
Gong Yuanzheng has completely given up his ideal of becoming a berserker and is only working on his hidden weapons and martial arts skills.
Gong Shangjiao was eager to improve his swordsmanship as he was thinking about the upcoming trip to eliminate Wufeng. Although it hurt a lot to be beaten, he still mustered up the courage to challenge Zhang Xueming every few days.
After fighting once, rest for at least three days.
He became shameless and complained to Zhang Xueming in front of Gong Yuanzheng: "Can't you be gentler? I'm your brother after all. It's so embarrassing to limp out every time."
Zhang Xueming smiled and said nothing. He drew his long sword from its sheath and swung it out with a flick of his sword, breaking the 100-jin stone lock into two pieces.
Gong Shangjiao's tactical retreat: Zhang Xueming didn't even draw his sword to counter his moves.
He had no other choice, so he tried to trick Gong Yuanzheng: "Yuanzheng, you should give it a try too, and let Zhaozhao give you some pointers. Don't be afraid of being embarrassed, you will really improve quickly."
He added: "Zhao Zhao's talent in martial arts is unmatched. Not only is her swordsmanship superb, her concealed weapons and martial arts skills are also top-notch."
Gong Yuanzheng knew that his brother was trying to drag others into the water and embarrass himself, but for the sake of progress, he still pretended to believe it and nodded, "Okay, I'll listen to my brother."
He also contributed his sword, which could be split into two parts, long and short, to Zhang Xueming so that she could teach two people at a time.
One day, Gong Huanyu suddenly wanted to learn swordsmanship from Zhang Xueming. It's hard to say that he didn't want to take the opportunity to get back at Zhang Xueming for always seeing him spitting blood.
As a result, Zhang Xueming fought one against three, using only 20% of his internal strength, and the flying sword energy chased the three brothers of the Gong family all over the field.
Except for Gong Yuanzheng who was not beaten, Gong Shangjiao, who was also an innocent bystander, was injured.
Gong Huanyu was not convinced. He went back to rest for two days, and when the pain in his body was gone, he came back to stroke the tiger's whiskers with high morale.
After a period of time, Gong Huanyu's swordsmanship did not improve, but his ability to dodge and withstand blows improved significantly.
I don't know when this person stayed in the Zheng Palace after being beaten up, and he became familiar with the three treasures of the Zheng Palace. One day, he looked at Gong Yuanzheng from head to toe with a critical eye and asked a soul-searching question: "You said that sister Zhaozhao is such a powerful person, why did she fall for you?"
