Shadow Guard stand-in

Before reaching Yushiguan, Jin Jiuye couldn't hold back and passed out. His body was extremely cold, as if he was losing vitality little by little.He Jue didn't even dare to touch his breath, and was even more afraid that he wouldn't be able to feel the other's pulse, so he could only hug the man tighter, trying to give him some warmth.

But it was almost in vain, the road to Yushi Pass was too long, He Jue was so anxious that he almost cried.

He leaned into Jin Jiuye's ear and said over and over again: "Brother Ye, you can't die, please, hold on, I beg you, Jin Jiuye, you will stay with me for the rest of my life..."

"How is Lord Yingwei?" Gao Shanying came over to ask, He Jue shook his head with tears in his eyes.

Seeing this situation, Gao Shanying didn't dare to ask any more questions, he was stupid and didn't know how to comfort others, for fear of hurting His Majesty's heart again.Faced with so many wolf smoke riders, suffered so many injuries, and persisted until now with only willpower, even if he could only see His Majesty again, it was an inhuman existence, and he would have no regrets if he wanted to come to Lord Shadow Guard.

It's just these words, he just thought about it in his heart, if His Majesty's current appearance, if he knew that Lord Shadow Guard was gone, he might go crazy.

He guards the capital, and often sees His Majesty, and even met the sixth prince who was still King Yin in his early years, but he has never seen His Majesty so vulnerable and helpless.The king of a country is always strong and domineering, always omnipotent, and will never fall.Most of the time, these courtiers are very fortunate that the current monarch is more tolerant than the tyrannical and cruel emperor. He has never punished the palace people in the few years since he took the throne, and has never said a serious word in the court. Fair and impartial, open and aboveboard.

This is the imaginary wise monarch they expected.

However, when he met Lord Shadow Guard, he saw His Majesty's toughness and tenderness again. He had been raiding for so long, and he thought it was not only because of Lord Shadow Guard, but also the safety of Yushiguan, and the whereabouts of Lord Xiao Qi.But it was only at this moment that he deeply felt His Majesty's deep affection for Lord Yingwei, and how far this deep affection has reached.

That is already engraved into the blood of the bones.

"Your Majesty, you have caught someone alive, and you seem to know some clues." Gao Shanying said, He Jue glanced lightly, but did not speak.

They were rushing back to Yushiguan, and at Yushiguan, Pei Xingge also brought Qi Lezhi and Bai Zhilan back. The coach returned safely, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.Lin Jiyuan was also in a coma, and the medical officer said after treatment that his feet might not work, and whether he can walk in the future depends on the situation.

The rest of the dark guards suffered injuries of varying severity, but they were all much better than Lin Jiyuan. The most serious one had half of his palm broken, bleeding terribly.

Qi Lezhi was both grateful and guilty towards them, but they didn't take it seriously, they only thought about their responsibilities.

"We are the dark guards of the Xuanyi Division. Everyone's life is risked. As long as the boss gives an order, there will be mountains of swords and seas of fire. Saving Master Xiao Qi is just completing the task. No need to thank, and the subordinates can't afford it." .” Every young man in eagle-patterned clothes had an indifferent and upright look on his face.

They stood with their backs straight and holding knives, as if wearing that uniform, everything no longer belonged to them, but belonged to Xuan Yisi, His Majesty, and Southern Tang.

Qi Lezhi felt touched for no reason, this is the indomitable warrior he imagined, brave and decisive, passionate and fearless.

He suddenly discovered that his previous view of Jin Jiuye seemed to be biased. That man was definitely not a murderer, and he was worthy of His Majesty's attention and entrustment.

If there must be a male queen in the history books, then it must be someone like Jin Jiuye who deserves it.

At the same time, Qi Lezhi was also very worried about the situation in Hulugu. After all, He Jue only brought [-] Jingji guards ahead, while the [-] garrison at Yushi Pass moved slowly. If He Jue was in danger or fell into the enemy's If there is no time to save the trap, Qi Lezhi will be a sinner of Nan Tang.

After the medical officer saw him, he asked him to rest more, but he couldn't rest. When it was evening, the night gradually fell, and the day and night passed again.

After all, Qi Lezhi couldn't bear it anymore, and found Pei Xingge, "Your Majesty is in Calabash Valley, I'm always worried."

Pei Xingge quickly persuaded: "Shuai Qi, you just came back from Beiqi, if you get into danger again, there will be no more commander in Yushi Pass."

This is also the reason why Qi Lezhi hesitated, but he was worried that He Jue would be impulsive because of Jin Jiuye's accident. He grew up with him, so maybe he could comfort him a little bit.

Just as he was talking, the messenger from outside rushed in and said excitedly: "The Gyeonggi Guard is back! Your Majesty is back!"

"Can you see Lord Shadow Guard?" Qi Lezhi asked urgently.

The messenger said: "Master Shadow Guard is back too, he was brought back by His Majesty..."

As soon as Qi Le heard it, he immediately walked out of the military tent, followed by Pei Xingge.In the camp, He Jue hugged the man in black who was covered in blood, his face full of anxiety and anger.

"Medical officer! Quick! Where is the medical officer?"

The medical officer ran out from another military tent. He was bandaging the wounded dark guards. After a busy afternoon, he finally took care of the last one.

He was getting old, and his steps were not fast. When he heard the news, the dark guards who ran out after him simply set him up one by one, left and right. His feet were off the ground, and he was led to run fast.

"Hey, little old man, go by yourself, you are still injured, don't, don't move! That toe is broken, do you still want your foot?"

It's a pity that no one listened to him. Although the dark guards inherited the tradition of the Lord Shadow Guard with a cold face and a solemn face, they were more or less emotionless, and some even gossiped and joked in private.One of them said: "It's important to save our boss, you don't care about us! If you can't save the boss, it means you are a quack doctor, and we don't want you!"

"You, you, you bastards, you are really lawless!" The medical officer was carried into the tent where Jin Jiuye was, and He Jue gently placed him on the couch, the man's body was still cold.

There was a brazier in the military tent, and the temperature was much better than outside, but He Jue thought it wasn't enough, so he asked Pei Rong to arrange for more.

"Medical officer, come and take a look!" He Jue stretched out his hand and pulled the old man in front of Jin Jiuye. The man in front of him was pale and bloodless, with his eyes closed tightly as if he was not breathing.And the blood all over his body had solidified, and it was impossible to tell whether it was his own blood or someone else's.

Pei Xingge ordered someone to bring hot water, and He Jue twisted the handkerchief for Jin Jiuye himself, and helped him wipe his face and hands clean one by one. He held the other's wrist and found that he had lost a lot of weight.

I have been at the border for more than a month, and I don't know how much I have suffered, and the bruises under my eyes are getting heavier and heavier. I am afraid that I haven't had a good rest when I arrive at Yushiguan.

The medical officer looked around and asked, pinching Jin Jiu's Yemai, startled by the man's body temperature, and glanced at He Jue in disbelief, "Your Majesty, Lord Shadow Guard..."

"What?" He Jue's eyes were red and his tone was cold.

The medical officer didn't continue to speak, he felt that what he touched was a corpse, but His Majesty's expression was too terrifying, so he had to pinch his pulse to check.

During the interval between medical visits, Qi Lezhi stepped forward to pay a visit at the right time, "Your Majesty, I was captured and returned now. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

Only then did He Jue see Qi Lezhi, the young man also lost a lot of weight, and the stubble that came out was not taken care of, his complexion was so pale that he seemed to be seriously ill, and he completely lost his vigor and vigor in Xijing City.

"You've worked hard." He Jue said indifferently, "Elder Ge and the eldest princess are very worried about you. A Yao will give birth in less than three months. It's a matter of course. You can go back to accompany her first."

After saying this, He Jue's eyes were fixed on the medical officer and Jin Jiuye. The medical officer pressed his pulse for a long time, his expression was full of doubts, and then it turned into panic. Everyone in the tent looked at him, and he felt a rash on his forehead. With a layer of sweat, he lifted Jin Jiuye's eyelids again to check his pupils.

He Jue asked, "How?"

The old medical officer quickly replied: "Your Majesty, I can't pinch Lord Shadow Guard's pulse. He is cold all over and has no pulse to breathe. I'm afraid it has long been..."

"Impossible!" He Jue couldn't believe it, "How could he die?"

Qi Lezhi was also stunned, staring at the man fixedly, he, who was as powerful as him, would just disappear like this?

Suddenly, my nose became sour and I was almost in tears.

The old medical officer couldn't help it, but the facts were in front of his eyes, "Your Majesty, which living person would be so cold all over? No pulse, no breathing? I won't lie and talk nonsense. I just checked Lord Shadow Guard's pupils. Only the pupils are not slack."

He Jue didn't speak, just stared at the man on the couch, staring at the man's face, his expression seemed to be angry, but also sad.

There was silence in the military tent, and after a long time, someone wept softly, and upon closer inspection, it turned out to be Xuanyi Division's dark guard.

"I don't believe it." He Jue spat out three words, "I heard that someone who had a stagnant heartbeat came back to life, Jin Jiuye definitely won't be so easy..."

He couldn't say that word anymore, he choked up when he mentioned it, and couldn't speak because of the pain in his heart.

The old medical officer sighed: "I heard that Lord Yingwei faced hundreds of wolf smoke cavalry alone, deterred the enemy from stepping forward, and persisted until His Majesty went to rescue him. I'm afraid it's just holding his breath. Once you see His Majesty Then the breath will dissipate, and it will be easy for people..."

"No." He Jue believed in Jin Jiuye, and believed that he would never give up no matter what.

As he said, as long as the master is still alive, the subordinates dare not die.

He Jue wants to live a long life, and his brother Ye should also grow old with him. In the end, he was too old to walk, lost all his teeth, and couldn't even chew a pig's trotter, so they hugged each other die.

"I want you to treat him now, continue to treat his wounds, and he will definitely wake up." Looking at the man's face, He Jue said firmly, "I believe he must still be alive."

"Your Majesty!" The old medical officer sighed, seeing He Jue's stubbornness, he could only agree, "Yes, I obey."

"He suffered many wounds." He Jue stepped forward and helped Jin Jiuye unbutton his clothes little by little. He suddenly saw countless arrow wounds on his chest and abdomen. A few, some of the arrows were not pulled out, and they were all coagulated with the flesh and blood.

In addition, there were knife wounds, but luckily none of them were critical. He Jue's heart clenched when he saw it, and suddenly a little resentment arose in his heart. He resented why this man didn't take care of himself?In order to save others, he risked his own life. Is his life so unworthy of cherishing?

But after much deliberation and resentment, Jin Jiuye is such a person, his loyalty, his meaninglessness, and his persistence are all from him.I can't force it, and I can't change him in the slightest.

Afterwards, He Jue helped to check his limbs and found three or four arrowheads. Other than that, there were no more serious injuries.

However, all of these have shocked the veteran medical officer who has been stationed at the border for decades, and he has almost no way to start, which further strengthens the idea that the other party is dead.

But His Majesty was too sad to believe it, his expression looked cold and serious, and the air pressure was terribly low. As a doctor and a subject, he had no choice but to continue to treat him, even if it was futile.

"Fortunately, the Lord Shadow Guard didn't pull out the arrow. Otherwise, he would not be able to get the corresponding treatment if he pulled it out beforehand. The blood would continue to drain and eventually he would die. He would not be able to persist in Gourd Valley." The medical officer said, He Jue With a hum, he twisted the clean veil out of the hot water again, and helped Jin Jiuye scrub his body bit by bit.

"Just letting the arrow stay in the body, especially if you have to move, I'm afraid it will hurt badly. It's really rare for Mr. Shadow Guard to last for so long." So many, and so many injuries.

Just looking at the injury, his old eyes were almost wet, and he couldn't tell whether it was touching, heartache, or something else.

"Then do you want to take care of him now?" He Jue asked.

The old medical officer nodded and said: "Yes, it's just that I'm getting old and I'm afraid my hands won't be stable. If Your Majesty can trust me, let my apprentice come?"

"No, I'm here." In the past ten years, He Jue has helped this man clean up countless wounds and applied medicine countless times. "My hands are very steady, so I won't hurt him."

"...Okay." The old medical officer was silent for a moment, and replied.

The basin of water that was scrubbed just now was replaced by someone, and a new one was brought in. He Jue's expression was very focused, and his only focus was on the man on the couch.

At this time, Pei Xingge dragged Pei Rong to Qi Lezhi with a serious expression: "Sailor Qi, this kid said that he saw His Majesty was injured, and he didn't know what happened..."

"Injured? Where is the injury?" Qi Lezhi asked in surprise.

Pei Rong said: "The injury to the waist was pierced with a short knife. At that time, His Majesty said it was fine, but the dragon's body is more important..."

"That's right!" Pei Xingge echoed, "The medical officers have said that Lord Yingwei is hopeless, and His Majesty cannot bear the grief for a while, but we, the courtiers, cannot ignore it. Commander Qi, I hope you can persuade Your Majesty, Sir." It's gone, it's better to be buried in the ground as soon as possible."

Qi Lezhi glared at Pei Xingge, "If that's the case, don't say it in front of His Majesty."

He secretly looked at He Jue not far away. He Jue didn't seem to know the pain, and he couldn't see that he was injured at all. After a while, He Jue could hear it.

He then pulled Pei Xingge outside the tent to speak, and said: "I will try my best to persuade Your Majesty, but it is very likely that Your Majesty won't listen at all. He puts all his heart on Lord Yingwei. It's hard to think about it these days. Let's all follow him. You also have a wife and son, and you should understand the pain of losing your beloved one. Your Majesty's affection for Lord Shadow Guard is deeper than you and I imagined."

Pei Xingge didn't quite understand, "But I heard that Master Shadow Guard is just a shadow guard."

When Qi Lezhi heard this, his face turned cold instantly, and his eyes were like knives on Pei Xingge.

"I used to think the same way, but later I changed my mind. Maybe I can't understand you now, but I hope you will keep in mind. No matter when and where you treat Mr. Shadow Guard, whether you mention it orally or meet face-to-face, You must show the respect you treat the empress of the Southern Tang Dynasty, even more respect than the empress."

After saying this, Qi Lezhi went straight into the military tent. The heating inside was getting better and better. He Jue followed the medical officer's instructions with all his heart and concentrated on treating Jin Jiuye's wound.

His movements were extremely cautious, for fear of hurting Jin Jiuye, but Qi Lezhi felt a pain in his heart when he thought of the medical officer's initial conclusion.

"Your Majesty, I heard that you are also injured. Why don't you bandage and treat the injury first, and look at the injury first. Lord Shadow Guard, I can also help you."

He Jue didn't seem to hear the words, Qi Lezhi called out a few more times before he said: "Lezhi, don't disturb me."

Seeing this, He Jue didn't listen to persuasion at all, and Qi Lezhi could understand the other party's mood very well, so he had to give up.

He stood quietly and waited, asking people to prepare charcoal basins, hot water, medicines and other necessary things from time to time.

He even put himself in He Jue's situation and treated Jin Jiuye as Zhao Yao. I'm afraid he would go crazy too. Just thinking about it makes him feel unbearable, let alone He Jue who is facing life and death.

His Majesty has done well enough, at least he didn't collapse and become decadent, at least he didn't blame others.As for the rest, there is him, and so many people outside, they will definitely handle everything in Yushiguan, so that His Majesty won't worry any more.

Qi Lezhi was thinking about it, when he suddenly heard He Jue exclaim in surprise: "Medical officer, feel for him, is he warm? He's still alive, isn't he?"

The medical officer thought it was impossible, but when he touched it with his hands, it was the body temperature of an ordinary person. He quickly felt for the pulse, and there was a weak pulse beating.

It was almost midnight at this time, Qi Lezhi was physically and mentally exhausted, he almost fell to the ground just now, when he heard He Jue's words, he leaned in front of Jin Jiuye regardless of his appearance, "Master Shadow Guard is alive?"

The doctor said: "Perhaps it's because of the cold, the pulse was weak before, and I didn't let it out, but now Lord Yingwei does have a pulse, but it's still very weak, and I'm afraid it's very dangerous."

"Congratulations, Your Majesty." Qi Lezhi couldn't help the joy on his face, "God bless you!"

He Jue also said: "I knew he was blessed and fateful. I prayed for a peace talisman for him, and recited prayer scriptures for him every day. How could it be useless?"

He breathed a sigh of relief, even though he was still worried, it was better than being diagnosed with death by a medical officer. God knows what he relied on to support himself in the past few hours, and now he seems to have escaped from death. There is nothing that would make him happier than Jin Jiuye being alive.

It was at this time that he felt a strong pain in his waist and abdomen, and pressed it uncomfortably.

Qi Lezhi hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, Lord Shadow Guard's injuries are almost fully bandaged, and you can also let the medical officer see how the injury is, so that the ministers can rest assured."

The stab was not deep, he reacted quickly, and Jin Jiuye was also neat and tidy. After taking off his clothes to check, the medical officer quickly prescribed the medicine and gave some precautions.

In the middle of the night, Qi Lezhi retreated to rest, while Gao Shanying came to guard He Jue's safety. He rarely spoke, as if he was an invisible person in the tent.

He Jue stood in front of Jin Jiuye's couch, tracing the man's eyebrows and eyes over and over again, just staring blankly for half an hour, and occasionally couldn't help but move closer and whisper a few words in his ear.

He felt so happy in his heart, with this man by his side, even the world would not have to, and there would be nothing wrong with being a foolish king in the future.

After thinking about it, he laughed softly, reached out and tapped Jin Jiuye's forehead, and cursed: "Concubine Yao, get well soon."

"It's good to charm me, confuse Chao Gang, and make those courtiers outside hate their teeth."

"But I see, there are not so many people who hate you anymore, you can only charm me."
