After refusing marriage, she was pampered by the prince who acted as a shield.

Chapter 350: Want to take her as a disciple?

Not only that, he was also highly skilled in martial arts and spoke a remarkably authentic Western Region dialect.

Judging from Magistrate Gao's reaction, this man's abilities are definitely more impressive than imagined.

More importantly, Li Jingyang was not worried that he would betray him.

That's because he saved this man's wife and daughter; to be precise, it was Asi who saved them.

Asi used the medical book that Tianlingzi had left him to save his wife and daughter, and the man then willingly stayed by his side.

Unexpectedly, it came in handy here.

……

The carriage swayed and rocked, and Lin Rusi was lying inside.

She slowly opened her eyes, only to find a blank screen. She could hear cicadas chirping in her ears, and the air felt exceptionally fresh.

We have clearly reached the outskirts of the city.

Realizing this, Lin Rusi sat up abruptly. She lifted the curtain and saw that it was indeed the outskirts of the city.

Then, after stepping out of the front door of the carriage, Doctor Zhang was outside urging the horses on.

"Stop the car! Let me out! I need to go back to His Highness!"

Seeing this, Doctor Zhang turned around and said, "Miss Lin, you should go back. I already promised that brat, so I can't take you back."

"I'm the one who brought you here, why should you listen to him?"

Lin Rusi was somewhat dissatisfied, and her voice immediately turned cold.

Hearing her say that, Doctor Zhang looked at her seriously and said, "You know I came for the sake of the people. That brat told me that he has a plan to deal with the group of Westerners in the suburbs. However, if you are here, he will not be able to concentrate on implementing the plan. Since I have already promised him, I will not let you go back. At worst, I will just give you some medicine powder to help you sleep."

Doctor Zhang spoke frankly, without any intention of concealing anything.

Lin Rusi clenched her fists immediately, somewhat displeased: "What do you mean by this?"

"After you left, he led his men to surround Magistrate Gao's government office and arrested him. I heard that he also found a double who looks exactly like Magistrate Gao, but is good at martial arts and can speak the Western Regions language."

At this point in Doctor Zhang's story, Lin Rusi had probably already figured out Li Jingyang's plan.

But his expression remained grim: "In that case, I'd better go back!"

It seems Your Highness intends to blend into the ranks of those troops in the suburbs.

But how could Lin Rusi possibly let him do something so dangerous?

Doctor Zhang slowly stopped the carriage. He turned around and met Lin Rusi's gaze: "Girl, I advise you not to go back. I'm just giving you good advice. If you go back now, you'll not only ruin their plans, but you won't be able to help them at all."

"But if they are in danger, they won't even have anyone to take care of them!"

Lin Rusi clenched her fists, naturally worried.

Doctor Zhang smiled casually: "Don't you know your own man? Do you think that kind of person needs your care?"

A person like Li Jingyang has his own abilities and doesn't need Lin Rusi to do anything in between.

Upon hearing this, Lin Rusi pursed her lips and fell silent.

In fact, what Dr. Zhang said was true!

Seeing that she didn't speak, Doctor Zhang chuckled: "But you're a really interesting girl. I agreed to come not only for the sake of the people, but also for another matter."

Lin Rusi was listless and casually replied, "Is there anything else?"

"Your medical skills are quite good. Would you like to become my apprentice?"

In fact, he had guessed that there was a problem with the city's water supply.

Unexpectedly, Lin Rusi actually found the problem.

That's quite an ability.

It was precisely for this reason that Doctor Zhang made up his mind to make Lin Rusi his apprentice.

To know for sure that we could clearly and accurately find out that there was a slow-acting poison in the water.

This requires a very solid foundation in pharmacology.

"Are you sure you're not mistaken? You want to take me as your apprentice?"

Lin Rusi paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "Let's forget about it."

“Senior, I already have a master. My master treats me very well. All my medical skills were taught to me by my master, so naturally I cannot take anyone else as my master.”

"So what if you have a master? Can your master give you as much as I do? Besides, there aren't many people in this world who can compare to me."

Doctor Zhang was smug and confident, as if he was certain that Lin Rusi would become his apprentice.

However, Lin Rusi simply withdrew her hand and smiled, "Senior Zhang, no matter how powerful you are, I cannot do this. Since I have already taken a master, I cannot have a second master."

Even if Lin Rusi doesn't understand the rules, she knows that there can only be one master.

Changing allegiance is never a good thing!

Upon hearing this, Doctor Zhang was somewhat displeased: "Who is your master? I'd like to know who could be so loyal to you."

"My master is Tian Lingzi. I wonder if you have heard of this name, senior?"

Lin Rusi's words were tinged with pride, for he naturally felt that his master was excellent.

Besides, Tian Lingzi had taught her so much; no matter what, she would never take on a new master.

"Who are you talking about?! Tian Lingzi?!"

Doctor Zhang seemed incredulous, or perhaps puzzled, muttering to himself, "How could you possibly take that kind of person as your master?"

Judging from what Doctor Zhang said, it seemed that he knew Tian Lingzi. Lin Rusi was immediately curious: "Senior, do you know my master? Do you know who my master is?"

But at this moment, Doctor Zhang snorted coldly and refused to speak.

Judging from his expression, he seemed a little unhappy, as if he was angry.

Lin Rusi was even more puzzled: "Senior, you can't be unhappy just because I have a master and you refuse me, can you?"

"That's not the case, I'm not that petty, but I still advise you to be careful of your master."

Doctor Zhang's words were loaded with meaning, but he only left behind that one sentence and refused to say anything more after that.

No matter how Lin Rusi asked him, he refused to say anything.

Helpless, Lin Rusi could only get back into the carriage and fall into deep thought.

In fact, Dr. Zhang was right. If she were to return to the Northwest region at this time, not only might it ruin Li Jingyang's plans, but she wouldn't actually be of any help.

Should we not go back?

She thought to herself, suppressing the resentment in her heart.

After the carriage traveled all night, Lin Rusi drifted off to sleep without realizing it.

When she woke up again, the carriage had stopped in a deserted place.

The environment here is nice, and there are some fruits and snacks left for her by the divine doctor in the carriage.

But now, Dr. Zhang is nowhere to be seen.

Seeing this, Lin Rusi stepped out of the carriage and looked around, asking, "Senior, senior, are you still there?"

Lin Rusi searched everywhere but couldn't find Doctor Zhang, so she figured he must have already left.

Looking around at the empty space, she sat by the carriage eating fruit and couldn't help but start thinking.

She had originally planned to go with Doctor Zhang.

Once we're in a safe place, I'll write to Li Jingyang to see how things are going there.

If things go better, she will go and pick him up to return to the capital together; if things go badly, she can find a way to help him.

But now that Doctor Zhang has left, what should she do?
