A rare opportunity

Chapter 315 Liu Hai's Choice

How could Li Yu know that he would have such thoughts? He would never have thought that Hua Qianyu's position as the city lord was obtained because of him! He just thought that he was promoted to the city lord and was in a good mood, so he was so enthusiastic towards him.

When Qian Youzu and Pu Chengxian heard this, they hurriedly bowed to Hua Zirong and said:

"Congratulations, Master Hua! From now on, Master Hua becomes the true city lord's son. You have to take good care of us in the future!"

"Okay! Okay! We have been brothers for many years, don't you know me, Hua Zirong? How could I be the kind of person who would betray others?"

Hua Zirong said complacently. He couldn't help but put his hand on his face, but felt a piercing pain! He couldn't help but glance at Li Yu with resentment. He thought: Don't be complacent, kid, let's wait and see!

He was afraid of Wu Ling'er and her two guards' martial arts, so he didn't dare to settle the score with Wu Ling'er. He could only vent his anger on Li Yu!

Li Yu naturally didn't know that Hua Zirong already bore a grudge against him at this time.

Although the mansion was gifted by the emperor, Li Yu was not prepared to stay in the imperial city to work as an imperial physician, and therefore had no plans to live there.

His top priority now was how to arrange for Qi Biao, Liu Hai, Zhang Chao and others. Although the emperor had issued an order, he did not know what their wishes were.

After the banquet, he left early, regardless of the fact that Hua Qianyu was still talking, and called Qi Biao and others to his room.

After everyone was seated, Li Yu stood up again, bowed deeply to everyone and said:

"The poisoning case was successfully investigated thanks to the help of all the brothers! Li Yu is very grateful!"

Everyone stood up in a hurry and returned the greetings. Liu Hai said loudly:

"You are so polite! We are so lucky to meet you and serve you!"

Everyone agreed. Li Yu lowered his hand and continued:

"It is a blessing for me, Li Yu, to meet all of you brothers! Alas! It's just a pity that Deputy Commander Dou..."

At this point, Li Yu couldn't help but shed tears, choking and unable to speak! Everyone also lowered their heads, with tears in their eyes!

Among these people, except Qi Biao, most of them were brothers who had been with Dou Jinsuo through thick and thin for many years, and they had a deep relationship with him! Thinking of Dou Jinsuo's tragic death, they were all heartbroken!

After a while, Li Yu suppressed the grief in his heart and said in a deep voice:

"Deputy Commander Dou mentioned to me many times before his death that he wanted to find a future for you, and I agreed. Now that our mission has been completed, the Falcon Squad has no need to exist anymore! The imperial edict says that if you are willing, you can join the imperial guards and find a job. What are your plans?"

For a moment, the room was silent, and everyone was thinking. After a long time, no one responded. Li Yu was a little anxious and asked:

"Everyone, have you made up your mind? If you are willing, I will go and talk to Huashan, and you will work under him. After all, we have worked together before, and I think Huashan will not make things difficult for you!"

Liu Hai looked up at Li Yu and said hesitantly:

"Sir! Can we follow you?"

Hearing Liu Hai's words, the rest of the people all raised their heads and looked at Li Yu hopefully. To be honest, from their inner thoughts, they naturally hoped that Li Yu would keep them. They were all street thugs, and it was inevitable that they would have some problems. When they arrived at the military camp, they were afraid that they would be excluded and suppressed, or even bullied by others. If Dou Jinsuo was still alive, they would still have a backbone, and they would not be so afraid. But now that Dou Jinsuo is dead, they have no one to rely on!

Li Yu was stunned when he heard this! Then he shook his head and smiled bitterly:

"To be honest, after Senior Sister Hua gets married, I will resign from my position in the Imperial Hospital and follow Master back to Plum Blossom Valley. If you follow me, you will only suffer hardships, and your life may be worse than your previous one!

Besides, even if I don't leave, I'm just a small medical officer with no power or influence. What future can you have by following me? But if you join the imperial guards, with your abilities, you will definitely be promoted in the future!"

"But we are afraid...we are afraid that if we join the Imperial Guard with our identities, we will inevitably be excluded, and may even..."

Zhang Chao whispered.

"Oh! You don't have to worry about that! Hua Shan is the commander of the guards of the Second Prince's Mansion, so he will naturally be stationed in the Second Prince's Mansion. I will let Senior Sister Hua take care of you! I think with Senior Sister's care, no one will dare to bully you!"

"In that case, thank you very much, sir!"

Zhang Chao immediately bowed to Li Yu. Although the other guards were a little hesitant, they also thanked Li Yu when they saw that Zhang Chao had made a decision. Only Qi Biao and Liu Hai stood there motionless.

Li Yu was a little surprised! So he asked:

"Brother Qi, Brother Liu, what are you two doing...?"

Qi Biao immediately shook his head and said:

"Sir! Qi is not cut out to be an official. I have been the city guard of Tianxing City for decades. I have had enough! Besides, I have a family to support, so I'd better find a place to live a stable life!"

Li Yu could only sigh when he heard this! What Qi Biao said was true. With his personality, he was not suitable to be an official. Then he looked at Liu Hai again.

That Liu Hai smiled and said:

"Master! You know I am used to being free and I cannot stand being controlled by others. I am afraid that I will lose my life in a few days! Please let me live a few more days!"

Li Yu stared at him, and seeing that he was determined, he did not force him, so he nodded and said:

"Okay! I respect your opinions! Zhang Chao! You guys follow me!"

So he took Zhang Chao and others to Huashan to report.

Huashan welcomed the arrival of Zhang Chao and others! After all, they were all acquaintances, and he had seen their loyalty and combat power! He immediately promised Li Yu that he would treat them well.

When Li Yu returned to his room, he found that not only Qi Biao and Liu Hai were there, but also the Plum Blossom Fairy, Wu Linger and Huang Guizhi had come to his room.

Seeing Li Yu enter the room, everyone stopped talking. After Li Yu sat down, the Plum Blossom Fairy said with concern:

"Have Zhang Chao and the others made arrangements?"

Li Yu nodded quickly and said:

"Master, it's all arranged! I think since they are under Huashan's command, Huashan will definitely treat them well!"

The Plum Blossom Fairy nodded immediately and said:

"I have explained this to Deputy Commander Dou! But what about the two of them?"

When Liu Hai heard that the Plum Blossom Fairy asked him about himself, he immediately smiled and said:

"My dear fairy! I am used to being lazy and I am afraid I cannot stand being restrained. I don't have any aspirations in this life, I just hope I won't be hungry!"

"So what are your plans for the future? You must have a place to go!"

The Plum Blossom Fairy frowned.

"This... I do have a plan! I have already discussed it with Brother Qi, and I will follow Master Ding for the rest of my life!"

Liu Hai glanced at Li Yu and answered.
