Mu Xueqin took out another envelope and handed it to Jian Qinwan.
"When you go to the Bodhi Temple, my son will give this letter to the abbot. As for whether you can obtain any treasures, it depends on your own skill. This old woman can only open a convenient door for you."
Liang Xiao wanted to speak but stopped, roaring inwardly.
Hold back! Absolutely avoid talking to the Medical Saint!
"From now on, until the Heavenly General appears, this Lingguang Bailong Jia belongs to you."
Mu Xueqin picked up the Lingguang Bailong Jia and pushed it towards Liang Xiao, saying sternly, "Young man, go to the next room and put it on. See if it's convenient to move. What if the Heavenly General manifests on you again without a word, tsk tsk tsk..."
Liang Xiao stood still, silent.
Jian Qinwan raised an eyebrow and taunted, "What's wrong? Weren't you saying you're for the country and the people, the epitome of chivalry? You're usually shameless, but now to save your own life and benefit the people, is it still less important than this small matter?"
Mu Xueqin smiled, "Liang Xiao, you're not speechless from being moved by this old woman, are you?"
Liang Xiao pouted and replied, "I'm calculating the cost."
"Calculating the cost?" Mu Xueqin, Jian Qinwan, and Yue Lian were bewildered.
"Is this Lingguang Bailong Jia worth more than the poems and calligraphy you have stored? If so, I'll pay you the difference. If not, you'll pay me..."
Upon hearing this, Mu Xueqin's trembling hand reached for the scalpel on the table, almost wanting to stab Liang Xiao in the back.
"Hmph! Full of the stench of money!" Jian Qinwan looked disdainful.
"Miss Qinwan, the young master is just joking," Yue Lian quickly defended.
Mu Xueqin smiled happily, "How interesting! Put it on!"
Liang Xiao carried his bundle and the Lingguang Bailong Jia to the next room.
Mu Xueqin watched the closed door and murmured to herself, "This child's ability to change the subject is truly peerless..."
For a moment, she really wanted to stab Liang Xiao in the back again.
He dared to use her family heirloom for a calculation!
Now that she thought about it, she realized she might have been tricked by Liang Xiao, and "escaped disaster" again!
The three waited for a quarter of an hour. Mu Xueqin frowned, "Does it take this long to put on a piece of armor?"
Jian Qinwan's expression changed, "Could it be that his old wound relapsed and he fainted?"
Yue Lian was startled and was about to go to Liang Xiao's room when Jian Qinwan, who was closer, had already rushed ahead.
Just as Jian Qinwan reached the door, it opened quickly, and Liang Xiao emerged, colliding head-on with Jian Qinwan.
Jian Qinwan cried out, stumbled back several steps, her face red, glaring at Liang Xiao, and constantly wiping her shoulder and forehead that Liang Xiao had touched, with a look of disgust.
"Sorry." Liang Xiao looked embarrassed and walked up to Mu Xueqin.
Mu Xueqin tapped Liang Xiao's arm and shoulder a few times, almost inaudibly, and couldn't help but praise, "I can't see any difference, it's as if it was tailor-made for you."
"Thank you, Medical Saint! If I get any treasures in the future, I'll send them to you!" Liang Xiao was deeply grateful.
He had just tested the Lingguang Bailong Jia; it was light yet indestructible!
Liang Xiao knew that a small portion of materials in the world existed beyond his understanding, and they should not be underestimated.
The material of this Lingguang Bailong Jia might be some extremely special alloy!
Mu Xueqin said sternly, "No need for treasures, this old woman doesn't care! If you have any sudden inspirations in medicine, such as the smallpox vaccination you mentioned before, you can write to this old woman, and I will study it. Also, do not mistreat my son..."
Liang Xiao readily agreed.
If he didn't respect Mu Xueqin, what was the difference between him and a heartless wretch.
It's just that he couldn't think of how to repay her at the moment.
Helpless, Liang Xiao looked at Jian Qinwan again and found that she was also looking at him.
They looked at each other in silence. Jian Qinwan glanced at Liang Xiao again and turned her head away.
"Alright, Liang Xiao, you two should go back first. This old woman has many things to tell my son," Mu Xueqin broke the awkward silence.
Liang Xiao had already been itching to escape. Mu Xueqin's words were like a great amnesty to him, and he quickly took Yue Lian and took his leave.
After Liang Xiao had gone far, the mother and daughter went to Liang Xiao's previous room and spoke in low voices.
"Mother, giving him the Lingguang Bailong Jia, isn't that a bit..." Jian Qinwan said, looking down.
"A bit what?" Mu Xueqin stared at Jian Qinwan, a half-smile on her face.
Jian Qinwan stammered, "Too obvious. Will he know you suspect him..."
"Even if he isn't the Heavenly General, with his character, isn't he worthy of you?" Mu Xueqin countered.
Jian Qinwan was speechless.
"Silly child!"
Mu Xueqin lovingly stroked Jian Qinwan's head and sighed, "Mother is not greedy for wealth, nor is she a miser. The reason I don't return his calligraphy is not to treat them as antiques, but to use them as his betrothal gifts..."
Upon hearing this, Jian Qinwan's body trembled, and she almost fell.
"The Lingguang Bailong Jia, consider it your dowry," Mu Xueqin said with a smile.
...
"Young master, do you think the treasure armor is good?"
On the road, Yue Lian couldn't help but ask.
Liang Xiao smiled bitterly, "Of course, it's good! And they are right, I really need this thing, and I shouldn't be held back by trivial matters."
If he had been wearing this armor during the decisive battle that day, he wouldn't have been so severely injured!
His warhorse's armor, sword, spear, and armor were all custom-made as a set, but facing the torrent of the battlefield, in the end, his sword still broke, his armor shattered, and even his warhorse was shot dead!
The injuries on his back greatly reduced his combat power, and naturally, he couldn't care about his warhorse.
After the Yan Province campaign, Liang Xiao reflected deeply and had been quietly inquiring about weapons, hoping to avoid repeating the same mistakes.
The encounter with the barbarian assassins at the Heavenly General Temple further alerted Liang Xiao and made him plan for the future!
Earlier, in the room, he had only rearranged his original clothing.
Yue Lian's face was full of admiration, and she smiled happily, "As long as Young Master likes it! Commander Ding said it well, as long as Young Master lives, the common people can live better lives! If Young Master truly feels indebted to the Medical Saint, when we return to the capital, we'll prepare the cleanest residence for Miss Qinwan."
"Yue Lian is always so understanding."
Liang Xiao nodded with satisfaction, and just as he was about to praise her further, his expression suddenly changed, and he drew his sword from his waist.
"Young master?"
While Yue Lian was in surprise, thirteen figures suddenly leaped out from the front. Each of them was masked, with long sabers hanging at their waists and crossbows in their hands, the bolts aimed directly at Liang Xiao!
"Kill!"
A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity had arrived. Zuo Wushang's eyes were bloodshot. He could no longer care if innocent bystanders were harmed. With a command, he and the twelve newly chosen barbarian assassins simultaneously pulled their crossbow triggers.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"
Thirteen crossbow bolts, whistling through the air, shot towards Liang Xiao and Yue Lian!
In an instant, Liang Xiao's face remained unchanged. He shielded Yue Lian in front of him, his sword a dragon and snake in his hand, breaking through all eight directions!
"Clang clang..."
The thirteen crossbow bolts were actually shaken off and deflected by Liang Xiao one by one!
"How is this possible?!"
In an instant, the thirteen assassins were horrified!
Even the usually calm Zuo Wushang was greatly shaken.
They were using specially made crossbow bolts, shot at extreme speed, and they were blocked!
Is this truly human?
