The Divine Doctor And A Common Farmer-Chapter 1295 - 1375: Luring the Snake from Its Hole, Waiting for the Rabbit at the Stump

"By the way, a few months ago the City Lord asked us to find a man named Su Lang. This has been delayed for months, and there’s been no progress. We really feel ashamed for failing the Lord’s expectations."

These people had come all the way from the Jiangnan Mist City.

One relatively quiet young man hesitated for a moment, then whispered, "I made some inquiries at the slave market today. There seems to be someone quite similar to the Su Lang that the City Lord is looking for, and it seems he was bought by a foreman from a quarry."

"Really?"

"I’m not very sure. The Su Lang in the portrait is about the same as me, but the one who appeared in the slave market seemed more mature than the one in the painting. Also, I haven’t seen him in person, so I can’t make a definite conclusion yet."

"Let’s continue to investigate. Some of you keep an eye on the city gates, while a few of us go to find out where that quarry is located."

"By the way, why did the lady leave? The City Lord and his brothers are almost going crazy trying to find her."

"Not sure, all we need to do is focus on serving the City Lord."

"That’s right! As Sir Tie Yi said, the lady is skilled in medical arts and also proficient in the Gu Art. Although we don’t know how the situation is elsewhere, in the Capital, maybe we can start from those two aspects? See if there’s anyone practicing medicine who also knows Gu."

"That’s a pretty good idea, but if the lady indeed knows both medical skills and Gu, would she casually treat people or use Gu on them?"

"Well, I’m not sure about that..." 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

"Oh, I’ve thought of a plan."

"What plan?"

"We can lure the snake out of its hole. Ahem! What I mean is, the City Lord and they don’t know where the lady is, but the Capital needs special attention because the lady seems to have a good relationship with the Ninth Princess there. So if she really came to the Capital, it’s probably to see the Princess."

"Exactly!"

"Some speculate that the lady might already be dead because she contracted a mysterious illness. The City Lord didn’t hide this from us, but regardless, the City Lord has ordered that we must find her, whether alive or dead."

"We can devise a plan to see if we can deal with those in the palace. If possible, if the lady is in the Capital, we can lure her out. If she’s not, we can wait patiently. Anyway, if the lady came to the Capital, I think she definitely wants to have contact with the Ninth Princess."

"That’s indeed a good plan. It’s really clever! But the problem is, how exactly should we do it?"

So the group gathered to discuss their plans vigorously.

That afternoon, several Jiangnan people went to the slave market to gather information about the quarry, while others began making preparations.

A few days later, the group split into two. One team went to the quarry outside the Capital and learned some shocking news: that Su Lang was already dead, so they sent this information to the Lord of the Mist Capital.

Meanwhile, the other team quietly set up a Circus Troupe.

"Since the lady left voluntarily, is it that she doesn’t want to see the City Lord and them?"

"The City Lord’s wife once visited the Mist Capital, and I’ve heard she’s quite an intelligent person."

"We weren’t very noticeable when we were in the Mist City, but we did see the lady a few times from afar."

"Right, if the lady doesn’t want to see the City Lord, and if she recognizes us, wouldn’t she just run away again?"
