Shen Huafeng, as his name suggests, travels as fast as the wind.The reason why Hua Yilian said that he was slow was just to satirize his slowness from the side. In fact, he had never delayed the matter of working hard for Xing Sui.

Just before Shen Huafeng arrived, Chu Jiuge had just received a report from Qi's guards that 17 members of the royal family committed suicide before dawn.Even the concubines and family members became victims of the war, Chu Jiuge didn't know what to say to express his complicated mood at the moment.

Another seventeen lives... Although the number of deaths caused by this war was hundreds or thousands of times higher, he really couldn't let it go.Perhaps last night, he could still stop King Qi from...

But the saddest thing was Qi Huanyu.He was adopted by King Qi since he was a child and grew up in the palace. The royal family is his close relatives. Now that the family is extinct, why not lose his home and the people who love him again?

He hates, he really should hate, but he can only hate himself, his own incompetence, his own weakness.If he can be stronger, maybe...

"In life, there are always some things beyond your reach. Since King Qi wants you to live a good life, he will take good care of your child. He cannot lose his father. If you want to get out of your body, I will try my best to help you."

"What can I do..." Qi Huanyu's wry smile hurt Chu Jiuge's heart. It is all because he has assisted in the relationship that he is in today's situation. Will the bloody unification be avoided?

"When I was still a baby, it was the king who saved me and gave me a second life. I fought to the death on the battlefield to repay his kindness, but now I still can't protect him."

Chu Jiuge didn't know what to say to comfort him, and he also knew that he was not qualified, so he turned to Shen Huafeng and told him not to harm the lives of the people when he led his troops into the Qi Kingdom.Shen Huafeng has always respected Chu Jiuge, and he will follow his orders as long as they do not conflict with Xun Sui. At the same time, he also knows that this is a hard job. Facing the people who have just lost their royal family and have no leader, they can only rely on persuasion first.

"Your Highness, I have one more request to ask you." After saying that, Shen Huafeng knelt down and clasped his fists with both hands, "I beg Your Highness to return to Lin'an as soon as possible, and tell my son that he... is dying soon."

Hearing this, Chu Jiuge was shocked, and even forgot to support Shen Huafeng in a hurry, and hurriedly asked: "Why? How could his condition deteriorate so quickly?"

Upon hearing the word "quick", Shen Huafeng felt sad, his eyes were red, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Your Highness...it has been half a year since Mr. Qingyan and General Xue arrived in Lin'an...he was already sick Body, coupled with acclimatization, can survive the past six months, already..." General Qichi, who was dignified, couldn't utter a word after speaking.

I don't know whether Shen Huafeng is emotional, affectionate, or has unexplainable feelings for Qing Yan, Chu Jiuge has no time to think too much, and runs out of the room, calling Yu Jingnian's name loudly, and when the latter shows up, he immediately asks to return to Beijing.

In fact, Qingyan's relationship with Yu Jingnian is much deeper than Chu Jiuge's. After all, in Chu Country Xianzifang, besides Xue Wuhua, he is Yu Jingnian who takes care of Qingyan the most.Hearing the news that Qing Yan was seriously ill, Yu Jingnian also felt deeply guilty. Before seeing Chu Jiuge, he failed to cure Qing Yan's illness. Now this minor illness that is not taken seriously by others is really coming soon. Qing Yan's fate, how should he explain to Xue Wuhua...

Before they had time to explain anything, they got on their horses and rushed towards Lin'an. They traveled day and night, not daring to have the slightest delay. It was precisely because of such a reckless rush that the bumps caused the unhealed wound on Chu Jiuge's abdomen to tear again. Yu Jingnian had to forcefully stop to let him rest, but Chu Jiuge forced him to die, so he had to try his best to rush back as fast as possible, so that the short-term pain was better than the long-term pain.

When he arrived at the Nanwang Palace, Chu Jiuge's white clothes were already stained with a large amount of blood, and the old and new ones alternated. Some of the blood had dried up and turned black, and even hardened, and the wound was still bleeding. It was dripping between the fingers, and the places passing by were full of blood.

Yu Jingnian originally wanted to persuade Chu Jiuge to deal with the wound first, change his clothes before going to see Qingyan, but he knew that they had already wasted too much time, Qingyan was at stake, and maybe a few minutes later, the yin and yang would be separated.

"Come here! Find the imperial doctor quickly!"

Chu Jiuge stumbled to the other courtyard, and suddenly pushed open the door. A strong smell of medicine came to his face. One can imagine how many doctors put in so much effort to save Qingyan's life.

"Tell me..."

Xue Wuhua, who was sitting by the couch, was taken aback when he saw Chu Jiuge rushing in, and then calmed down. He put his index finger on his lips and let out a soft "hush", signaling Chu Jiuge to keep quiet, stood up slowly, and tucked his lips tightly together. Uncovering Qingyan's quilt, and carefully trying not to make any footsteps, she walked up to Chu Jiuge, picked her up, and walked out of the room.

"Be careful not to wake him up, he is eagerly waiting for you to come back every day, and he has not closed his eyes for three days and nights."

Even if he refused to let Chu Jiuge come back, he still hoped to see him before he died.No one knows Qingyan better than Xue Wuhua.

At this time, it happened that Yu Jingnian came with the imperial doctor, and they went to the courtyard where Gong Ziyin lived nearby to treat Chu Jiuge's wound temporarily.

"How is Qingyan's situation?" Yu Jingnian asked Xue Wuhua outside the door.

The latter didn't answer, but still looked at Chu Jiuge's figure through the door. "I was furious at first, and I didn't understand why he could be so cold-blooded and indifferent to his savior, and even thought about killing him. But just now, when I saw him running back covered in blood, I couldn't help it Hate it."

"He's not..."

"Why do you have to excuse him? How can I not know that he is Chu Jiuge, the omniscient national teacher Chu Jiuge? Everything he does, every place he stays, can make him stop Everyone, who is not more important than Qingyan? It was not until I saw that he was half dead and wanted to come back to see Qingyan, that I realized that I was just making excuses for my inability to do anything... It was because I couldn’t save his life My fault, I actually wanted to vent my anger on others..."

"Wuhua..."

Yu Jingnian didn't know how to comfort him, he couldn't empathize with this feeling, but he could personally feel Xue Wuhua's heart-piercing pain.If Qing Yan is really dead, how will Xue Wuhua survive...

Seeing that the two had been talking outside the door for a long time, Gong Ziyin pushed the door and went out. He wanted to ask for details, but stopped after seeing the expressions of the two.Needless to say, it was already written on their faces.

"Before we rushed back, he and I were in Qi State. We had just experienced the life and death of King Qi leading his family to commit suicide, and we got such bad news. He already had injuries that had not healed. Insufficient, I am afraid it will take a long time to recuperate before I can go to the ground."

"Actually, there is another very bad news." Hua Yilian has always appeared like a ghost, and at some point, she appeared on the eaves of another courtyard again, with one leg hanging down, eating a meat bun. How did he manage to return to Lin'an at the same time as Yu Jingnian and Chu Jiuge, maybe even faster than them.

"What do you mean?"

Hua Yilian stuffed the last bite of meat bun into her mouth, licked the soup on her fingers, and burped unhurriedly, "Nan Jun is coming back, it's only a day or two away."

This is not a good thing for everyone present. If Xun Sui returns to Lin'an, not only will their actions be greatly restricted, but they will also have to think hard about how to prevent him from hurting Chu Jiuge when he is violent.The latter was injured and couldn't stand the toss at all, and it was very likely that he would die.

However, in comparison, the situation is still more serious.

Just now, the son-in-law persuaded Chu Jiuge to take a break first, so as not to be worried by Qingyan seeing him half-dead, but he also knew in his heart that the imperial doctor had said that Qingyan had entered a deep coma. When you wake up, it depends on the good fortune.

Chu Luoyin timidly hid behind Gongziyin, and secretly glanced at Chu Jiuge, who was lying on the couch with a pale face and black eyes, his eyes were full of fear. Although this child could not speak, his eyes were very energetic, and could not only replace words Convey your wishes to others, and you can better understand people's hearts and observe people's feelings.

"Don't be afraid, he'll be fine." Gong Ziyin stroked Chu Luoyin's head and sighed long.

…Jiu Ge, have you ever regretted it? If it was me who assisted you back then, how could you be in such a depressed state today…

Of course, even if Chu Jiuge didn't say anything, Gong Ziyin knew it was impossible, because he would never be able to walk into Chu Jiuge's heart and become the person he wished to follow through life and death.

"What should we do next, Xie Sui has unified the six countries, and I'm afraid we won't expand the territory for the time being."

"...Call Xu Changqing here..." Chu Jiuge, who was keenly aware of the conversation between the few people, sat up and waved his hands to signal for everyone to come closer to him. Yu Jingnian and Gong Ziyin looked at each other, and ordered the imperial doctor to go out. Xue Wuhua who was busy taking care of Qingyan also left together.

"Will he really leave behind Yan's homeland and come here?"

"The situation forced him to come. The former Qi State's fiefdom now belongs to Qi Huanyu, so Yan State has only him. After all, Yan State and Wei State have been under the rule of the Southern Dynasty regime for many years. It has been peaceful and the people can be safe. Live now. As the area where the epidemic outbreak is on a large scale, Ke Country has been blocked for a day or two, so naturally there is no need to manage it, and who can come to fight for the interests of its own people, except for him, Mr. Xu Changqing, who else?"

Chu Jiuge was right. Taking a step back, Prince Han of the State of Yan and Prince Yin of the State of Wei both settled in his southern palace. Even if it was to satisfy the people's desire for peace, he had to come.
