Chapter 82

After returning from Li Ru's mansion.

There was still some time before dark.

Gu Yi simply went to the military camp to find Zhao Zilong.

After defeating the coalition, Zhao Zilong was also promoted for his meritorious service, breaking rank to become a Captain, and was even granted a residence.

But being someone who could endure hardship, he chose to live in the military camp together with the three hundred White Horse Righteous Followers.

Seeing Gu Yi come to find him, Zhao Zilong instantly revealed a look of joy.

Although Zhao Zilong had received his direct appointment from Dong Zhongying.

But in Zhao Zilong's heart, Gu Yi was his true lord in the real sense.

If not for Gu Yi's eyes being like torches.

I am afraid that at this moment, Zhao Zilong would still be nothing more than a volunteer squad leader under Gongsun Bo Gui.

"Zilong, why don't you just not stay in the military camp tonight."

"I have some good wine in my mansion sent by that fellow Hua Xiong; come and have a drink with me."

Gu Yi patted Zhao Zilong's shoulder and invited him.

Zhao Zilong thought for a moment; the affairs in the military camp had indeed all been handled properly.

As a Captain, he had nothing else to do if he stayed here today.

In this case, it would be quite nice to go and drink some wine and chat with Gu Yi.

After tidying up, the two of them left the military camp together.

However, as the saying goes, how can one drink without eating meat?

But just as the two of them finished buying cooked meat and were preparing to return to the mansion.

They were suddenly attracted by a figure on the side of the road.

That person looked to be over forty, but his entire body was full of tight muscles; one look and you could tell he was a martial arts expert.

In his hand, he held a precious carved bow.

Although Gu Yi and Zhao Zilong were not particularly knowledgeable about bows and arrows.

They could tell at a glance that the bow in that man's hand was by no means ordinary.

But looking at the man's posture, it seemed he was selling this rare precious carved bow.

"Zilong, how about you and I go take a look?"

Gu Yi became interested and pulled Zhao Zilong to the man's side.

Seeing that the newcomers were two young men, the man's face showed a hint of disappointment.

But then, as if realizing something, his gaze stared fixedly at Zhao Zilong.

Both being top-tier fierce generals of the current age, the two could be said to have a mutual understanding.

Seeing this, Zhao Zilong quietly said in Gu Yi's ear:

"Mr., this person's martial prowess is likely extraordinary."

Hearing this, Gu Yi's interest couldn't help but grow even stronger.

To be evaluated like this by Zhao Zilong, it was evident that this man's level was at least that of a first-class fierce general.

"Strong man, is the bow and arrow you are holding for sale?"

Gu Yi asked.

The man replied:

"This bow is a precious carved bow passed down from my ancestors, and the material is excellent."

"But because I need to treat my young son's illness, I have no choice but to sell this bow."

Having said that, the man gently stroked the precious carved bow with reluctance.

It was as if he were saying goodbye to a comrade-in-arms who had followed him for a long time.

"Treating an illness?"

"May I be so bold as to ask, what kind of difficult-to-cure illness does the strong man's son suffer from?"

Gu Yi had already made up his mind; if this person before him truly had ability, he would take him into his service.

"Sigh..."

"I am originally from Nanyang."

"My young son suffers from a severe illness, and the physicians I have sought out have been unable to cure it."

"Hearing that the divine physician Zhang Zhongjing was in Luoyang, I set out from Nanyang to find him here."

"But after arriving here, I learned that the divine physician Zhang Zhongjing had already left Luoyang for Changsha."

"Alas, my travel funds are exhausted, and my son's illness requires expensive medicine every day."
