First Lady of the Crown Prince

 Chapter 867 Save him! (Two updates in one)

"he died?"

Yue Liuyi looked at the lifeless Xuanyuan Qi, pulled out the sword from his waist, and hummed angrily: "He hurt me, I'm going to cut off his hand!"

 “Xiaoliu.” Gongsun Yu called her calmly.

Yue Liuyi's hand holding the dagger paused in the air, "What's wrong, Lord?"

Gongsun Yu listened to the approaching horseshoes and said, "Let's go."

Yue Liuyi looked at the man who was speeding towards the end of the official road. Behind the man was a large army. She frowned unwillingly and put the dagger away: "This guy is getting an advantage!"

 She flew up onto her horse.

Gongsun Yu did not come with a large number of troops, only twenty archers, so they did not have an advantage in terms of strength.

 But the man just looked very powerful, killing him would undoubtedly be a heavy blow to the Yan army.

Yue Liuyi followed Gongsun Yu: "Master, who is that big guy?"

Gongsun Yu looked at the rolling dark clouds in the sky: "The great general of Yan State...Xuanyuan Qi."

“Xuanyuan Qi? Aren’t all the Xuanyuan family members dead?” Yue Liuyi muttered to herself.

 When she looked up, Gongsun Yu and twenty archers had already walked to the front.

She whipped her horse with a whip, quickly caught up with him, and said to Gongsun Yu: "My lord, your horse is so powerful! I've never seen it before!"

Gongsun Yu said calmly: "The black knight sent by the Han family of Yan State."

Yue Liuyi said in an eccentric way: "Black knight? The Xuanyuan family has a black wind rider, and the Han family has a black knight! It's interesting! Lord, I want it too!"

Gongsun Yu said: "There are still some in the City Lord's Mansion, go back and pick them out yourself."

Yue Liuyi smiled brightly: "Okay!"

 The group of people left.

The last trace of skylight faded, dark clouds swallowed up the entire night sky, thunder rolled across the sky, lightning flashed suddenly, and the biting west wind turned into violent wind and heavy rain in an instant.

The vegetation at the pass is swaying, as if the souls of tens of thousands of heroes at the border are choking silently.

Yue Liuyi was completely drenched and snorted disdainfully: "Today is not a good day to attack the city. I'll attack them another day!"

Gongsun Yu was riding on the horse without saying a word, his expression as cold and solemn as the noble **** of the Nine Heavens.

The last general of the Xuanyuan family was eventually lost in his hands.

The legend of the Xuanyuan family ended completely.

Dayan will be in the possession of Jin sooner or later!

By the time his horse rushed to the pass, Gongsun Yu had already left with the Jin army.

He almost jumped off his horse and fell heavily into the rain-wet mud. He braved the cold rain and rushed forward on his knees, arriving in front of Xuanyuan Qi.

He looked at the man who was covered in blood and whose chest was penetrated by a spear, and tears burst out of his eyes!

"why why…"

　　The wound that had taken twenty years to heal was brutally torn apart again, and my heart was torn in half.

 He raised his hand, wanting to hug his father, but he was worried about hurting him...

 Such a serious injury...so painful...

 He knelt in front of his father, his whole body trembling uncontrollably.

He suppressed the pain that was torn in his heart, and tears fell on the ground.

 “Why...why it took so much trouble for me to see you...”

 “Why can’t you wait for me…”

 “Why do you have to leave me behind every time...”

 “Open your eyes...look at me...”

"Look at Zheng'er...Zheng'er has grown up..."

Luo Chen knelt down and cried bitterly. His fingers were dug into the mud. Blood spread from his fingertips and flowed all over the ground.

 The heavy rain broke down a big tree at the pass that was injured by the sword energy. Without the cover of the big tree, everyone on the city tower saw this scene.

They all thought that there was a small army at the pass, which prevented a Jin army from charging over.

Unexpectedly...it turned out to be just one person.

That man defended the pass with his own flesh and blood, blocking the Jin army's nine thousand troops!

 His body was filled with arrows, knives, and a spear that pierced his entire chest.

　　What kind of indomitable will is this? How can a person forget life and death... or even transcend life and death?

 Everyone was in tears.

They didn’t know who that person was, but each of them felt the strong will emanating from him. It was Dayan’s immortal fighting spirit!

Ye Qing stood on the city tower, staring intently at the father and son who were kneeling in the heavy rain and didn't even have time to say goodbye in person. Countless complicated emotions arose in his heart.

Master, your divination has come true, and everything is exactly as you said.

 The soul of Xuanyuan fell under Gongsun Yu's sword.

 But Master, since you already know the outcome, why did you send me to the border?

 Let me witness this tragedy with my own eyes?

With my ability, I can't change anything, and I don't even have time to take any precautions.

 “The soul of Xuanyuan should not perish.”

The National Master's sad voice flashed through his mind, and Ye Qing's eyes flashed, as if he had made some kind of decision in his heart.

He clenched his fists, flew up, and jumped down from the tower.

 “Master Ye!”

General Ji suddenly changed his color and reached out to grab it. However, he was a step too late and did not even touch a corner of Ye Qing's clothes.

The azure blue robe of the Imperial Master's Palace fluttered in the wind amid the wind and rain, blooming like a green lotus dyed with ink.

 Ye Qing jumped off the tower.

General Ji looked solemn: "What is Master Ye going to do?"

 Ye Qing used Qinggong to walk quickly in the wind and rain.

 Master.

Since the soul of Xuanyuan should not have fallen, please forgive me... for making this decision without authorization!

I'm very sorry for violating your will. I am willing to accept any punishment when I return to the Imperial Master's Palace!

 I don’t know if this can save him.

 Perhaps it still cannot be saved, and the most precious thing you entrusted to me will be wasted.

 But I want to try my best anyway.

 If I’m wrong, please let me spend the rest of my life making up for today’s mistakes!

 …

Wen Renchong jumped down and came to Gu Jiao's side: "Commander Xiao, that person is..."

Gu Jiao looked at Ye Qing's flying figure in the rain, her eyes moved, and she said, "General Xuanyuan Qi."

Wen Renchong was startled: "General, General? Isn't he...could he be..."

"No, yes." Gu Jiaoyan answered briefly and concisely what he didn't even ask, "Prepare a stretcher!"

 After saying that, she turned around and quickly descended from the tower.

 The rain is getting heavier.

When Ye Qing came to the father and son, the three of them were all soaked by the rain.

Ye Qing knelt down on one knee and took out a small porcelain vase from his arms: "Xuanyuan Zheng, help me hold your father's head up."

 Lochen was slightly startled.

Haven't heard anyone call his name for many years, and he didn't react for a while.

“My name is Ye Qing, the eldest disciple of the National Master Hall.” Ye Qing said with a cold expression on his face, “If you don’t hurry up, your father will be completely dead and Daluo Jinxian won’t be able to save him!”

The dusty tears rolled down, and he held his father's head, which was gradually losing body temperature, in a daze. He could no longer feel his father's pulse and breathing.

 In this way...can we really be saved?

Ye Qing uncorked the bottle: "In the Imperial Master's Palace, there have been many patients whose breathing has stopped and their pulses have stopped. Not everyone can be rescued, but as long as they are not dead, there is still a glimmer of hope."

Leochen choked up and asked: "What is the best way to be considered dead?"

Ye Qing poured out the only pill left in it, pried open Xuanyuan Qi's mouth, and fed him in: "If your breath and pulse stop for half a quarter of an hour, you are basically dead. A master like your father...maybe able to Just a little delay.”

This pill doesn’t seem to melt in your mouth.

Ye Qing slapped Xuanyuan Qi's abdomen again and used his internal force to slide the medicine into his abdomen.

 Liao Chen carefully avoided the weapon on his father's body and let his father rest in his arms.

 In the past, his father was his support.

 In the future, he hopes that he can become his father's support.

"There are two points." Ye Qing glanced at him and said, "First, I'm not sure if your father is dead. If he is already dead, then this pill will be useless if he takes it."

"second."

Having said this, Ye Qing paused, "Even if your father is not completely dead, this pill may not have any effect."

Liao Chen looked at him with a complicated expression: "What you gave my father to eat is..."

"Lithospermum poison." Ye Qing met his gaze and said honestly, "You should have heard of this poison. There is a 99% chance that it will directly poison your father and make him completely dead."

Liaochen pinched his fingers and murmured: "In other words, the hope of survival is only one or two in a hundred."

"Not that many." Ye Qing thought for a moment and said, "Given your father's situation, one or two in ten thousand is as good as the sky."

 …

Gu Jiao came to the scene and found that Xuanyuan Qi could not get on a stretcher due to her condition.

 …If there is still hope for Xuanyuan Qi’s rescue.

Gu Jiao began to deal with the weapons on his body, starting with the spear.

Ye Qing, as the personal disciple of the Imperial Master, was not weak in medical skills, so he started the fight very cooperatively.

 Wenren rushed to help several people hold up their raincoats to cover them from the heavy rain falling from the sky.

“What did you feed him?” Gu Jiao asked Ye Qing.

“Lithospermum is poisonous,” Ye Qing said.

 Gu Jiao understood.

She has heard about this poison more than once since she came to Yan State. The last time Gu Changqing was stabbed by Dark Soul's sword in the intensive care unit and almost became a cripple, the National Preceptor also planned to give him this poison.

 It's just that the poison has expired.

Gu Changqing relied on his own willpower and psychological suggestion to survive.

 This is a miracle in the history of medicine, but Xuanyuan Qi’s situation is very different from Gu Changqing’s.

Gu Changqing has woken up and is no longer in fear of his life. He is just unwilling to become a useless person.

As for Xuanyuan Qi, he really... died.

Gu Jiao put on her silver gloves and used golden silk to cut off the spear on Xuanyuan Qi's chest: "Isn't it expired again this time?"

"No!" The imperial master had told him what happened last time before he set off. He hurriedly explained, "The medicine that master gave to Gu Changqing was left behind many years ago. This medicine was bought from the Han family some time ago. They were found in his mansion."

 “Han family?” Gu Jiao used the snowy sky silk to cut off the spear body behind her.

Ye Qing said: "That's right, Master said that the Han family probably controls a large comfrey garden. They have a large amount of comfrey in their hands. The Han family's black knight and Han Wuye's black devil horse are all fed with comfrey poison." of."

"Black Knight." Gu Jiao frowned slightly when she heard the name, but this also explained why Han Wuye's horse was so powerful.

 “Didn’t that mean a lot of horses died?” she asked.

Ye Qing nodded: "Animals are much more tolerant to comfrey poison than humans, but there is still a failure rate of more than 70%. A large number of young horses were poisoned to death, and only those who survived are qualified to become black knights."

Gu Jiao stopped talking.

The Han family really did everything they could to strengthen themselves.

Ye Qing would not have known that the Han family had so many crazy secrets if he hadn't heard his master mention it before leaving. He said coldly: "They are simply beasts!"

Gu Jiao glanced at him and said disapprovingly: "Don't insult the beast."

 Ye Qing was stunned: "Oh."

Gu Jiao's hand treating Xuanyuan Qi's injury suddenly stopped and asked solemnly: "Ye Qing, will the Lithospermum poison relieve his pain?"

Ye Qing quickly realized that the person she was referring to was Xuanyuan Qi.

"he…"

Liao Chen supported his father who was leaning in his arms and looked at Gu Jiao carefully.

Gu Jiao did not hide anything from him. As a son, he had the right to know his father's true condition: "He had very serious internal injuries and endured great pain every day. Living was a torture for him, and dying was a pain for him." It’s a relief.”

 Liao Chen clenched his fists and his body trembled slightly.

He didn’t expect that his father would be like this all these years...

“Yes.” Ye Qing said firmly.

 Either be poisoned to death and end the suffering completely.

Either survive the poison and regain a new life.

Thinking of something, Ye Qing added: "After being poisoned by the Lithospermum poison, it will enter a state of suspended animation, looking no different from the dead. The duration varies, some people are three hours, some are seven hours, if twelve hours is not enough When you wake up, you are really dead.”

Gu Jiao's eyes fell on the man's face.

 Xuanyuan Qi.

 You have to get through it.

No matter who the person you have been waiting for all these years is, and what kind of agreement you have made with him, I don’t think he wants you to die here.

 Your mission is not completed.

Ending all the pain during the death, survived as the soul of Xuanyuan, survived as the father's father, and survived as the grandfather of the uncle Jing Kong, witnessing the new dynasty and Shengshi Taiping are your real mission.

 …

Xuanyuan Qi was brought back to the wounded barracks, and Ye Qing personally guarded him.

Liao Chen cheered up. Regardless of whether his father could be saved or not, he could not dwell in the pain for too long.

 “Is it Gongsun Yu?”

 Under the arbor outside the camp, Luo Chen spoke lightly.

 Besides him, the only one in the shed was Gu Jiao, who was looking at the map.

Gu Jiao snorted: "It's him, the general of Jin's Eastern Campaign, General Shenwei."

Liao Chen said coldly: "I will kill him with my own hands!"

Gu Jiao looked at him. She changed out of her monk's clothes and put on a black robe from the Shadow Department. She seemed to have a murderous aura as if she were an iron horse.

"Okay." Gu Jiao said, "He is yours."

 The lights under the shed caught Chen's eyes, like two blazing fires of revenge: "What are the names of the other two?"

Gu Jiao turned over the map and said, "Zhu Zhangkuang and Yue Liuyi are Gongsun Yu's confidants."

Liao Chen said: "If they were here, I would kill them all..."

"No one is competing with you for heads, but..." Gu Jiao said, handing him the highlighted map, "The troops may have to be separated, and they may not all be concentrated in one place. You have to think about who to deal with. ."

Liaochen said without thinking: "Gongsun Yu!"

A medical officer came out of another wounded barracks, and Gu Jiao stopped him: "How is Old Tang's condition?"

The medical officer hurriedly said: "Commander Xiao, I took the detoxification pill you gave me and I'm fine. I'll be fine after sleeping for a few days."

Yue Liuyi is a master of hidden weapons, but not a master of poison. The detoxification pill Nan Shiniang gave her can cure hundreds of poisons.

 …Except for Shangguan Qing’s poison.

Thinking of Shangguan Qing, Gu Jiao closed the map and said to Chen: "Shangguan Qing is still trapped in Guishan. We must attack Pucheng as soon as possible to divert the Jin army from Guishan. How many troops does your Shadow Division have in total?"

"Twenty thousand." Liao Chen said, "Not all of them are members of the Shadow Department, but also some old members of the Xuanyuan family."

Gu Jiao said: "The Black Wind Cavalry has a combat strength of 10,000, and the total is 30,000. The imperial army is attacking Liang Bing. I asked Wen Ren to rush to deliver the message. I don't know how many troops can be mobilized."

The imperial court has an army of 120,000, of which 80,000 are combatants, and the rest are baggage and logistics.

The Jin State claims to have an army of 200,000, but I don’t know if this is a true figure, and how many combat-ready troops there are.

Gu Jiao asked someone to call Master Hu: "How many things have you been asked to translate?"

Master Hu said hurriedly: "It's half done! I'll hurry up again!"

Gu Jiao warned: "Remember, don't make a single mistake!"

Master Hu patted his chest and said, "Yes! Sir, please rest assured. The ones I have found are all serious descendants of the Jin Dynasty. There are four of them in total. They will be reviewed at all levels to ensure that there are no mistakes!"

Gu Jiao said: "That's good, I need accurate information about the Jin army."

On the other side, Shangguan Yan was sitting at the rear, while Marquis Xuanping led his troops to kill Liang Jun, while Wang Man led his troops to besiege the Nangong family and recapture the new city.

Xuanpinghou drove the Liang army all the way out of the border. This was not enough. He went directly to the border of Liang State and planted the flag of Dayan on the territory of Liang State!

 In the camp at the rear, spies kept sending good reports from both sides, and Shangguan Yan was very satisfied.

 According to this progress, it will be completed in less than three to five days.

Outside the camp, a man's voice came: "Your Highness! People from Black Wind Camp are rushing to see you!"

Shangguan Yan said seriously: "Come in!"

Wen Renchong hurriedly entered the camp, bowed his hands, and presented the letter in his hand with both hands.

Huan'er took the letter, opened it and handed it to Shangguan Yan.

After Shangguan Yan saw it, she stood up abruptly, her aura aroused: "Come here! Go and inform General Xiao and General Wang Man that the battle must end tonight and set off tomorrow...to attack Pucheng!"

When I say two chapters, I mean two chapters combined into one. My daily update is at least 4,000 words, which has nothing to do with the number of chapters.
