Chapter 245: Mourning in front of his funeral hall
Emperor Nan Xin's casual act of recognizing his brother left Ying Shi and Xiu Ming dumbfounded.
Deng Youning sighed, not knowing what to say.
General Su was also determined. He held Li Tianzhuo's hand tightly and was already teaching him martial arts.
Li Tianzhuo was still struggling and didn't want to accept it.
But General Su had no intention of stopping.
He is absolutely loyal to Emperor Nan Xin. Not to mention that his life is coming to an end and there is no point in keeping his skills. Even if he doesn't die today and his master orders him to pass on his skills to the young master, he will not have any resentment.
After a moment, the transmission ended.
General Su also closed his eyes in the sorrow of Emperor Nan Xin.
Li Tianzhuo looked at the internal force flowing through his body and felt uncomfortable for a long time.
"Azhuo, don't think too much."
Deng Youning didn't know how to comfort him, so she could only walk to his side and hug him quietly.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I am late in coming to your rescue."
The person kneeling before Emperor Nanxin and speaking now is General Nangong, the commander of the Suzaku Army.
The Suzaku Army's camp was just outside of Yuncheng, not too far from here. Li Tianzhuo traveled very quickly, so he was able to catch up.
Everyone was safe and sound.
"Get up."
Emperor Nan Xin had no time to pay attention to him and walked quickly to King Si.
“Bang!”
He slapped Si Wang mercilessly.
Si Wang, who was held up by two soldiers, had no power to fight back and was beaten so hard that blood came out of the corners of his mouth.
"Old Four, you are truly my good son."
"Pretend to become real, kill your father and brother to seize the throne?"
Although he was a bastard in his fight for the throne, he never thought of killing his own father.
"Nangong, take the Prince Si to prison and execute him on a certain day!"
"I will just pretend that I have never given birth to such a rebellious son in this life!"
Emperor Nan Xin roared angrily.
After Si Wang was taken away, he turned around and asked about Li Tianzhuo's health.
He knew that Tian'er now had only one person left who could offer his inner strength to him, so that his inner strength could be completely unlocked.
He still needs to look carefully for the candidate for this last person.
"Tian'er, how do you feel?"
"Follow your father back to the palace and let the imperial physician treat you."
Having said that, Emperor Nan Xin hurriedly reached out to grab Li Tianzhuo's hand.
Before he even touched his hand, Li Tianzhuo quickly dodged.
"You are too cruel. General Su has followed you all his life. It is hard for me not to suspect that you deliberately set up this rebellion situation today."
Li Tianzhuo shook his head and stepped back, feeling scared of Emperor Nan Xin.
Is this really his respected father?
Or maybe he was always like that, but I was too young at the time and couldn't see clearly into people's hearts or understand human nature.
"Since you have acknowledged General Su as your sworn brother, please give his family the royal treatment they deserve in the future."
"I will also treat him as my uncle and mourn in front of his funeral hall."
Li Tianzhuo felt that he owed General Su.
"Okay, Tian'er, whatever you say is fine. You go back to the palace with your father first."
Emperor Nan Xin was worried about his health. When he heard that he had tried to use the Eighteen Soul-Fixing Meridians many times in Dongji, his heartache for him almost took shape.
He knew that if he had not been at odds with him and demoted him to a commoner in anger, his internal energy would not have been sealed and his martial arts would not have been crippled, and he would not have risked using that forbidden technique so many times.
"I'm going to the Su family to take care of the emperor's uncle's funeral."
"Emperor Nanxin, if you have nothing to do, let the Suzaku Army take you back to the palace first."
Li Tianzhuo spoke in a cold tone, wanting to carry General Su away on his back himself.
But the old general was too heavy and too big, and even Li Tianzhuo, who was not short in height, found it very difficult to carry him on his back.
"Xiu Ming."
Deng Youning signaled Xiu Ming to help him lift one of his legs.
"No, I can do it."
"Ningning, if you are tired, you can go back to the inn by yourself. Xiuming, you can come with me to report the death to Su's family."
Li Tianzhuo insisted on carrying General Su on his back.
He had his own business and didn't need Deng Youning to accompany him.
Knowing that Deng Youning and Ying Shi were very tired after fighting tonight, he wanted to let them go back and rest first.
"What's the difference between you and me?"
"Since you acknowledge him as your uncle, then General Su is also my uncle."
"A Zhuo, don't feel any psychological burden regarding the internal strength. General Su is just completing the last mission assigned by the master."
“That’s his unwavering loyalty.”
Deng Youning's words of advice made Li Tianzhuo feel a little better, but he still planned to fulfill his responsibilities to the Su family.
Whether the Su family blamed him, beat or scolded him, he never complained.
After sending the general's body home and settling his family, when Li Tianzhuo, Deng Youning and the other two returned to the inn, the sky was already turning pale.
Another sleepless night.
Deng Yan'an, Han Xian and the others were almost going crazy with worry. They didn't know where the four of them had gone and why they hadn't returned all night.
After learning about Wang's rebellion, Deng Yan'an also felt frightened.
Fortunately, there was no harm.
The Dongji delegation returned today. After breakfast, after sending them away from Yuncheng, Li Tianzhuo asked Deng Youning to rest for a few hours before going to Gongyang's house in the afternoon.
The Gongyang family has changed their career to become medicine dealers and are no longer doctors. Only a few people know about their amazing bone-setting technique.
The head of the Gongyang family, who was also the doctor treating Deng Youning this time, was an octogenarian with gray hair.
"May I ask where did Prince Changle learn about my bone-setting skills?"
The old man asked curiously.
"To be honest with you, Senior, the new emperor of Dongji is a disciple of Yaowang Valley. We also heard about it from him."
The old man smiled and said nothing more. He looked at Deng Youning's injured ankle.
The injury has long since recovered and he can run and jump, but his bones have not healed well.
"Princess, do you feel pain in your ankles like needles every time you fight?" asked the old man.
Deng Youning glanced at Li Tianzhuo and Deng Yanan with a guilty look on her face. Without waiting for her to reply, Deng Yanan asked:
"If that's the case, why didn't you tell us about it?"
Li Tianzhuo also shook his head tiredly, not daring to imagine how she had endured these past few months!
Deng Youning squinted her eyes and smiled mischievously.
"This time, after I have treated her, you must keep an eye on the princess and don't let her use force again, otherwise, her ankle will be broken!"
The old man had a heavy face, and it looked like Deng Youning was in very bad condition as well.
"How long will it take before violence is resorted to?" Deng Youning asked in detail.
The old man stroked his beard and said, "At least three months!"
"Three months?!" Deng Youning was a little shocked.
She didn't necessarily want to fight with others, but for a martial artist, it would be itchy if she didn't fight for three months.
Besides, given their current condition, they cannot take action and the risk factor is very high.
Even Li Tianzhuo felt that this was a bit harsh.
"Can't it be shorter?"
He couldn't always be by Deng Youning's side to protect her. How could he feel at ease if she didn't have any martial arts skills?
"So, no matter what, you can't do anything in the first month."
"You guys will move in with me from now on, and I will take care of her myself!"
The old man was very responsible for his patients and even wanted them to move into his home so that he could keep an eye on Deng Youning.
Deng Yanan and Li Tianzhuo looked at each other and felt that given their current situation, living in the Gongyang family mansion would be much safer than staying in an inn.
"Then I'll trouble you to arrange it."
They both bowed and thanked him.
