Chapter 585: Golden Sky Armor Rescue
As he was shouting, a man's voice suddenly came from behind him: "All guards, what are you doing? Pushing and shoving at the gate of Tiankun Castle, what does it look like?!"
Chu Xiaomu looked back and saw a man about 28 or 29 years old with a tall figure, a face like jade, wearing a snow-willow gold-threaded dress and a purple pearl crown on his head. He was riding on a tall horse and frowning at the people here.
The two guards hurriedly saluted him and said, "Young Master, this kid revealed the city lord's order in the East Market and tried to sneak into Tiankun Castle to treat your injuries."
The "young master" they were talking about was naturally Jin Tiankai, the eldest son of Jin Huapeng and the head of the Jinyang City Case Hall. It was also the first time Chu Xiaomu saw him, and he couldn't help but take a few more glances at him.
Jin Tiankai naturally saw Xuan Ying as well, bowed to him and asked, "General Xuan, is what they said true?"
Xuanying replied calmly: "Not bad."
Jin Tiankai frowned slightly and asked Chu Xiaomu again: "Can you really cure Li'er's injury?"
Chu Xiaomu replied: "I am willing to try my best."
The guard named Quan shouted, "General Xuan is right. You are really a liar who is trying your luck! If anyone else tried like you, how could the young master still be alive?!"
Jin Tianjia shouted, "All guards, please stop speaking without restraint!"
The guard named Quan was stunned for a moment, then he realized that he had said the wrong thing. It seemed like he was cursing Young Lady Jin. He was so scared that he dared not say a word.
Jin Tianjia said to Xuan Ying again: "General Xuan, how about this? I'll take him in and try his methods. If it doesn't work, I'll hand him over to you. What do you think?"
The muscles on Xuanying's face twitched slightly, and he said, "When the time comes, you can hand him over to Zhao Xiantong." Then he stepped aside.
Jin Tiankai bowed to Xuan Ying again and said, "Thank you, General Xuan." Then he said to Chu Xiaomu, "Come with me. If he is really a swindler, the severe punishments in Jinyang City are not for show!"
Chu Xiaomu followed Jin Tiankai into the castle gate.
Xuan Ying's cold voice came from behind: "Since you want to treat it, you have to treat it well, otherwise there will always be someone in Jinyang City who will not forgive you!"
Jin Tiankai led Chu Xiaomu through the eaves and corridors. He rode a very majestic horse and trotted in the castle. Chu Xiaomu took big strides and ran fast, not falling behind at all, which surprised Jin Tiankai. He thought that this inconspicuous young man might really have some real skills.
Jin Tianjia finally dismounted in front of a huge tower house in the middle of the castle. Chu Xiaomu looked up and saw two huge golden characters written on the top of the house - Chengji. It was the Chengji Palace where the city lord Jin Huapeng lived every day.
An attendant hurried over to lead the horse away. Jin Tiankai then led Chu Xiaomu inside.
The Chengji Palace was indeed magnificent, with carved beams and painted buildings, colorful pagodas, and cloud-like screens and brocade curtains. Every detail was luxurious and exquisite.
Chu Xiaomu had no intention of looking at these things in detail. He walked through a few rooms and turned into an inner corridor.
Guards, maids and the like walked by from time to time. They bowed and saluted when they saw Jin Tiankai. Everyone lowered their heads and walked quickly, not daring to make any loud noises.
Suddenly, someone shouted, "Quacks, quacks, all quacks! Could it be that in such a huge city like Jinyang, we can't find a spiritual doctor who can heal Li'er's injury?!"
The two maids who had just passed by couldn't help but tremble when they heard the roar, and it was obvious that they were extremely scared.
The person who roared was naturally Jin Huapeng, the lord of Jinyang City and Jin Lier's father.
After passing through a long corridor, the two came to a house where even the window frames and door frames were carved and inlaid with strange golden flowers and exotic beasts.
There were seven or eight beautiful women in red and green dresses standing outside the house. They were probably maids or servants.
Jin Tianjia squinted his eyes and scanned Chu Xiaomu a few times. He still couldn't believe that this young man dared to reveal the truth to treat his sister. He frowned and asked, "Why did General Xuan stop you today?"
Chu Xiaomu replied: "Maybe he is afraid that my medical skills are not good enough and will delay the recovery of the young lady."
Jin Tiankai snorted, "Normally we can't even invite him, why is he so kind today?"
Chu Xiaomu kept silent.
Jin Tianjia continued, "My father is furious right now. If you just come here to try your luck, you might lose your life!"
Chu Xiaomu replied: "I know. If I can't cure your injury, I am willing to be punished."
Jin Tiankai wanted to say more, but Jin Huapeng in the room had already heard the voices outside and asked loudly: "Kai'er, which ignorant quack doctor is here again?!"
Jin Tiankai gently pushed the door open, led Chu Xiaomu in, bowed and said, "Father, this young man said he would try his best."
When Chu Xiaomu entered the room, he saw a middle-aged man with fair complexion, red lips, long beard and long hair standing in front of him. He was wearing a black and gold brocade robe with a divine bird pattern. The wide sleeves of the robe made his figure more graceful.
This person is naturally Jin Tianjia and Jin Lier's father, Jin Huapeng. I heard that Jin Huapeng is already over fifty years old, probably around fifty-six or fifty-seven, but judging from his appearance, he is no more than forty-two or forty-three years old, and looks very young.
Jin Huapeng was furious when he saw that the person Jin Tiankai brought in was actually a young man of about 20 years old. He shouted, "Those famous doctors in Jinyang City who claim to be able to bring the dead back to life couldn't cure Li'er's injury, but this... this young man can do it?! Tiankai, you... you quickly put him in jail, or I'll be upset when I see him!"
After a pause, he continued, "I asked you to arrange for someone to go to Weishan to invite Elder Cui Wei, and to Yu Clan Island to invite the island master Yu. How have you done?"
Jin Tiankai said, "We have arranged several fast horses to go this morning. However, Weishan is far to the east of Yancheng, and Yuzu Island has to go to Jiangkouyi to change boats before crossing the sea. Even if it is the fastest, it will take five or six days to go back and forth. And... and..."
"And what? Just tell me now!"
"Moreover, Master Cui Wei is one of the three great men, and Island Master Yu is also a person of great status. It is not something that can be invited just by asking."
Jin Huapeng stared at Jin Tianjia and said angrily, "If they dare not come, and if anything happens to Li'er, I will immediately send troops to destroy Weishan and Yu Clan Island!"
Jin Tianjia stood by his side, not daring to say a word.
