After Emperor Longqing fainted in Concubine Han's palace, he first moved back to his bedroom, and then stayed in bed for several days. Originally, in this situation, the harem concubines and the prince's family should take turns to attend to the sick in front of the emperor, but Emperor Longqing wanted to calm down For the reason of recuperation, no one else was allowed to serve, only Concubine Han Gui, Concubine Shu, and Bai Jinfu took turns to serve. Even the crown prince and King Lie could only see Emperor Longqing during their daily greetings.

In a flash of time, it came to the day when Duan Wuji left for Baiyue. In the morning, Duan Wuji followed the crown prince out of the East Palace and came to Emperor Longqing's bedroom to bid farewell to Emperor Longqing, but the internal officials who went to Tongchuan only brought Emperor Longqing The words came out: "The emperor's dragon body is unwell, and he said that he was afraid of meeting His Highness, which would add sadness and worry, and just let His Highness bid farewell outside. Sincerely, don't lose the bearing of my Daliu royal family."

After Duan Wuji finished listening, he yelled into the hall unwillingly: "Grandfather! My grandson is going to Baiyue. The journey is far away and thousands of miles away. I don't know when we will meet again. You are so cruel, and you don't want to see him at all." Grandson?!"

In the hall, Bai Jin was holding a medicine bowl to wait for Emperor Longqing to drink the medicine. Hearing Duan Wuji shouting outside, he persuaded Emperor Longqing in a gentle voice: "Father, why don't you let Wuji come in? I don't know what to do when I go to Baiyue." I can only come back when it is time, at least let the children see each other and do their filial piety before leaving, so there will be no regrets."

Emperor Longqing remained silent, he didn't really want to be so cruel, he was afraid that seeing Duan Wuji would soften his heart and regret letting Aisun become a hostage, but the imperial decree has been issued, and everyone in the court knows, if he contradicts what he says, his emperor's prestige will be damaged. Why, so I can only force myself to harden my heart, it is better not to see.

Bai Jinfu secretly speculated on Emperor Longqing's thoughts, and suggested: "Why don't you go and give the father a gift, so that Wuji understands that you still miss him in your heart."

Emperor Longqing thought for a while, then nodded, "Then you can go and see him off for me. This child Wuji has the same temperament as me, and he has courage and strategy, but he is too sharp and lacks tact in dealing with things. It’s about hardening and sharpening, and you help me persuade him to think about it.”

Bai Jin helped put down the medicine bowl in his hand, and walked out, Duan Wuji still insisted on kneeling there, no matter how his father and internal officials tried to persuade him, he was unwilling to get up and leave.

Duan Wuji saw that it was Bai Jinfu who came out of it arrogantly, and thought that not long ago, Bai Jinfu still looked low in front of him. But he was picked up by Bai Jinfu and won the favor of Emperor Longqing, he was even more angry, and said coldly: "Why are you, Grandpa Huang?"

Bai Jinfu stood under the eaves of the corridor, looked down at Duan Wuji who was kneeling under the steps and said, "The emperor just took the medicine and fell asleep. His Highness will only make the emperor sad if he goes in, and it won't help the dragon's recovery, so I don't want it." It's good to meet, as long as His Highness abides by his position in Baiyue, and when the borders are stabilized in the future, there will be a reunion day, Your Highness should hurry up and get on the road, don't miss the schedule."

Duan Wuji looked at Bai Jinfu, and sneered coldly with disdain: "The villain is successful, it's not your turn to point fingers here."

As soon as Bai Jinfu came out, what he meant might be what Emperor Longqing meant, the crown prince was afraid that his words would reach Emperor Longqing's ears, so he hurriedly reprimanded Duan Wuji: "Don't talk nonsense!"

Bai Jinfu smiled slightly, and didn't care much about Duan Wuji's ridicule, "Perhaps in the eyes of His Highness Changsun, a person like me will be a villain once he ascends to the top, but don't forget, this king is also a real dragon The bloodline is no longer the grassroots that you could trample on in Lianhua Temple back then. Things are so impermanent, who would have foreseen that I am standing here today, while your grandson is kneeling there?"

Duan Wuji sneered and said: "There are no tigers in the mountains, and monkeys are called kings. I'll see how long you can be proud."

"Don't worry, when you are not in Beijing, I will take good care of the emperor, and I will write to Baiyue from time to time to tell you the current situation in the palace. By the way, I heard that there are many mountains and mountains in Baiyue from Daliu. There may be bumps on the way." When you meet jackals, tigers and leopards, come here!" Bai Jinfu waved to the side, and a palace servant came over with a plate, and put a leather whip in the plate, Bai Jinfu picked up the whip, walked down the steps, and The whip stretched out in front of Duan Wuji, and said with a smirk, "I am an uncle, I have nothing to give you before parting, so I will give you this whip for self-defense, and you can use this thing to drive away ferocious beasts to save your life."

How could Duan Wuji not understand that Bai Jinfu gave him this whip today to ridicule him on purpose, to avenge that whip that he whipped Bai Jinfu at Lianhua Temple that day.

This time Duan Wuji did not retort, he took the whip from Bai Jin's hand, looked at Bai Jin with special meaning and said: "Then I would like to thank Uncle Qi, my nephew will definitely carry the whip that Uncle Qi gave with me, Always remember Uncle Seven's love for me."

The crown prince was worried that the two would quarrel again, so he quickly pulled Duan Wuji up, "Okay, since your grandpa is unwell and doesn't want to see you, then stop kneeling, the accompanying officials are already waiting outside the palace , let’s go quickly.”

Duan Wuji didn't struggle, stood up obediently, and looked deeply into Emperor Longqing's bedroom. If Emperor Longqing summoned him today and changed his mind, there might be room for things to turn around. If his son doesn't care about the relationship between grandparents and grandchildren in the past, then he can't be blamed for being cruel as a grandson.

Duan Wuji tightly grasped the whip that Bai Jin helped him with, turned around, and strode out of the palace gate without looking back.

Bai Jinfu looked at Duan Wuji's figure who was unwilling to leave, and the corners of his mouth twitched as if there was nothing, and the singing roles appeared on the stage, and the good show was about to begin.

After sending Duan Wuji away, Bai Jinfu returned to the bedroom, Emperor Longqing was still worried about Duan Wuji's matter, did not fall asleep, half leaned on the bed and looked at him and asked, "Is he gone?"

"Let's go. Wuji is young now, and he still can't understand your father's hard work. After he has tempered his mind, he will understand that you are doing this for his own good." Bai Jinfu comforted Emperor Longqing with a smile, and then Walked to a closet, opened the door and took out a small wooden box, walked back to the bed, took out a black pill from the wooden box, which seemed to have a faint metallic luster, "Father, you should take the pill." Medicine."

Emperor Longqing nodded, took the elixir from Bai Jin's armrest, put it in his mouth, and took the elixir with the water brought by Bai Jinfu.

Bai Jinfu observed Emperor Longqing's face for a while, and asked with concern: "This is the elixir that the national teacher ordered someone to send into the palace this morning. How does your father feel after taking it?"

Emperor Longqing closed his eyes and felt for a while, "There seems to be a heat source in the dantian, and the hands and feet are not as cold and weak as usual, as if there is some miraculous effect."

"That's it. This is the elixir that the national teacher specially prepared for the father. After taking it for a while, the father will definitely recover." Bai Jin helped Emperor Longqing to lie down, covered him with a quilt, and put on a pair of With a filial and respectful appearance, "Father, take the medicine and rest for a while, and I will wake you up later."

After Duan Wuji came out of the palace, he got into a carriage and was escorted out of the capital by the envoys and guards. The people on the road sighed. Gongyue's grandson, the emperor's grandson, left the capital in such a light and despondent manner today.

Duan Wuji sat in the carriage, turning a deaf ear to the discussions outside the carriage.

He rode a horse and approached the carriage, and whispered outside the window: "Your Highness."

Duan Wuji raised his hand and used two fingers to lift the curtain, revealing a stern face, and asked solemnly, "Are you all ready?"

The personal attendant lowered his voice extremely low, "Don't worry, Your Highness, everything has been properly arranged, and we just wait for His Highness's order!"

Duan Wuji nodded slightly, let go of his fingers, and lowered the curtain to block the sight from outside.

Duan Wuji closed his eyes slightly, and sat in the carriage with his hands resting on his knees. He estimated the distance to the gate of the city in his heart, and when the surrounding movements gradually subsided, he suddenly opened his eyes. Sen Han's eyes With a fright, he tore off the collar with one hand and took off his outer robe. It was written on the wall of the carriage that there was a cold light, and he was actually wearing armor inside!

After the team left the city, they traveled for about two hours. When they passed by the foot of a sparsely populated barren mountain in the suburbs of Beijing, the commander who was leading the horse suddenly saw a large cloud of smoke and dust rising in front of him, and heard a burst of orderly hooves. Come over from far and near, first wave your hand to signal the team to stop.

The sound of horseshoes was approaching, and the commander could clearly see who was coming. It was a group of Daliu sergeants with about a hundred people. From the uniforms, they should be from the Qianji Battalion.

The team stopped when they reached the front of the team. Qianji Battalion was stationed in Xishan Daying. There was no special important matter, and it was impossible to appear in the suburbs of Beijing. The commander felt a little strange, looked at the visitor vigilantly and asked: "I am Xiaoqi Battalion deputy commander, who are you under?"

The leading general didn't answer, he sat on his horse and waved his hand, and the hundred or so soldiers behind him immediately came out from behind him, drew their weapons and surrounded the envoy's team.

The commander turned pale with shock, and hurriedly drew out his saber to wait for the battle, and shouted sharply: "Who are you? How dare you intercept the official team? Are you planning to rebel?!"

"They're mine."

A cold voice came from behind, and the commander looked back, only to see Duan Wuji donning a suit of fine steel armor at some point, holding a blue sharp sword, standing majestically on the carriage, exuding a look of contempt all over his body. The pride of the world.

Feeling that something was wrong, the commander was dripping with cold sweat, and asked with a smile on his last sliver of luck, "Your Highness, what are you going to do? If the emperor finds out..."

"You're right just now, it's rebellion." Duan Wuji looked up at the sky, and said sarcastically, "If the way of heaven treats me unfairly, so what if I rebel? Let's do it, let's take these people's heads as sacrifices to the flag, as a premonition Wish me the best of luck.”

After hearing Duan Wuji's order, the sergeants of Qianji Camp immediately swung their knives to fight with the escorting guards. The guards never dreamed that they would be killed by their own people. They tried their best to fight to the death, but they were outnumbered. In a short time, all the guards and accompanying officials fell into a pool of blood, with their heads in different places!

The other soldiers cleaned the battlefield, the general walked up to Duan Wuji, clasped his fists and said, "His Royal Highness, the [-] soldiers of the Qianji Battalion have assembled, and I would like to listen to Your Highness' orders!"

Duan Wuji looked towards the direction of the capital with a calm expression, and rubbed the hilt of the Qingfeng sword in his hand, "Listen to my orders, tonight's fireworks will be your letter, and if you attack the palace, you will be rewarded!"
