Chapter 389 Want to Return to Jinyang
But I never thought that he was completely different from what I thought.
The Fourth Master solved Jinyang's urgent problem, saved the people of the entire city, and made Liu Yu see clearly how incompetent he was.
As a husband, he failed to protect his wife and children, and watched helplessly as his eight-month pregnant wife was killed by her enemies.
As a local official, he was incompetent and lost the life-saving food of the people in the city. He watched the epidemic break out and was at a loss.
As a boss, he was cowardly and timid. After the matter was exposed, he wanted to die and completely ignored the hardships of the Black Wind people behind him.
Looking back at the past few decades of sloppy work, it’s a complete failure.
Fortunately, the Fourth Master is broad-minded and can accept Heifeng and the others.
The children seemed to be living well enough, so what more could he ask for?
"How is your health?" The Fourth Master looked at Liu Yu who seemed to be having difficulty breathing and couldn't help but ask.
Actually, Liu Yu was examined by the imperial physician yesterday, and his health condition is not very optimistic.
The imperial physician said that although Liu Yu had been taking medicine recently, his health had deteriorated significantly and he was afraid that he would not live beyond three months.
But looking at Liu Yu's current condition, the Fourth Master is afraid that he won't even be able to survive these three months.
"Thank you, Lord Beile, for your concern. I can still hold on in this state." Liu Yu smiled and said, "I want to return to Jinyang as soon as possible."
The Fourth Master frowned slightly. "It's been a bumpy ride all the way to Jinyang, so you better get some rest. I'll have someone take you back when the time comes."
Liu Yu shook his head calmly: "I want to go back to Jinyang."
After a pause, he added, "I really want to go back to Jinyang."
After hesitating for a long time, he finally just repeated these few sentences.
The Fourth Master glanced at Liu Yu and finally said, "In that case, take a day off today and I'll send someone to take you back tomorrow."
Liu Yu shook his head gently: "Lord Beile, I want to leave now."
"Why are you in such a hurry?" The Fourth Master frowned slightly.
Liu Yu breathed heavily. "Don't worry, Prince. Staying one day longer or one day less doesn't matter. While I'm still well, I can still do something for Jinyang. Prince, please let me go back soon, please."
The Fourth Master finally nodded: "Well, in that case, let Black Wind take you to bed."
He turned back to look at Heifeng and said, "The son of the doctor of Liu Mansion is now working in the mansion. You can ask him to go with you. He knows medical skills and can take care of me on the way."
Heifeng immediately clasped his fists and said, "Yes."
Seeing them leaving, Dashao's eyes turned red: "Brother?"
Da Guo looked at his little sister, who had grown fatter and whiter. He knew that everything was fine with her. He couldn't help but rub her head and said, "Go back and serve her quickly. I'll come back to see you when I'm free."
Dashao nodded desperately, watching his brothers leave from afar, tears streaming down his face.
Wenjiu patted Dashao's shoulder and said, "Let's go pack some food for them to take with them on the road."
"Well, thank you, young lady." Dashao nodded with red eyes.
Liu Yu didn't have much stuff to begin with, so it was very easy to pack it up.
It's just a small package.
The Fourth Master has also had a carriage prepared.
It means that before Liu Yu got on the carriage, he suddenly knelt down.
"Lord, can you let Qin Bo stay in the capital?" Liu Yu took a breath and continued, "I had a house in Jincheng a few years ago. I can let Qin Bo live there without your concern. But he is old after all. If one day... he is no longer useful. Please allow the children to visit him."
The Fourth Master nodded: "As I should."
"My lord!" Qin Bo, who was carrying a small package on his back, was sitting on the corner of the carriage when he suddenly heard Liu Yu's words. He turned his head and looked at him: "My lord, I will follow you even if I die. Wherever you go, I will go!"
"The house in the capital also needs someone to look after it. You stay and help take care of it." Liu Yu said, turned around, took Heifeng's hand and got on the carriage.
"Sir, I want to go with you." Qin Bo wanted to get on the carriage, but was pushed by Liu Yu.
"You stay in Kyoto. I have made up my mind and it will not change." He frowned and looked at Heifeng, saying, "Let's go."
Before Heifeng could raise his whip, he saw Qin Bo take out a dagger from somewhere and put it on his throat.
His voice was full of calmness: "Sir, if this old slave cannot go back with you, then I will die here today."
The Fourth Master frowned slightly. The old slave was kneeling on the ground with his body tilted up, which didn't help him much either. It was obvious that Liu Yu went to the carriage for his own good, but... Alas.
The Fourth Master didn't say anything after all.
Liu Yu finally sighed: "Forget it, let's go back together."
Qin Bo stood up tremblingly, with a smile on his face: "Okay, okay, let's go back together."
Wenjiu couldn't help but go forward to help him up, and took a handkerchief to help him stop the bleeding.
"Thank you, young lady." Qin Bo gave Wen Jiu a kind smile, as if what had just happened had never happened.
Wenjiu moved his lips slightly, wanting to say something to persuade him, but in the end he handed him the package in his hand.
"It contains a little gift from me. You and your Excellency can use it on your journey."
He handed another box to the two men and said, "Old man, I also brought you some pears, oranges, and grapes. They will help quench your thirst on the road."
"Thank you for the gift, young lady. The gift is appropriate for the occasion. There are times of gathering and parting."
Wen Jiu smiled faintly: "I don't know when we will meet again, but I also want to wish you good health. You must take good care of yourself. When the pear trees in Jinyang City are in bloom, I will also like to taste the pears in your backyard."
Qin Bo smiled and nodded: "Well, my lady, the pears that our wife grows are very sweet. It was winter when you went there, so you didn't get to taste them. Go and try them in the fall."
"Okay." Wenjiu responded.
Her throat was inexplicably choked. In fact, she wanted to say that the pears in her hand were the seeds of the pear tree planted by her ladyship.
Earlier in Jinyang, she was bored and went looking for fruit tree seeds. It was his wife who led him to find a lot of seeds in Liu Yu's backyard.
Now, the fruit trees in the space are flourishing, but Liu Yu is gradually losing his vitality.
Liu Yu looked relatively strong, but when Wen Jiu looked at the faint black mist above his head, he knew that he... couldn't hold on for much longer.
I hope that when the pear tree bears fruit, he can still chat with the old man in the yard about the past.
"Girl, we're leaving." The old man said goodbye to Wenjiu with a smile. He didn't care about the wound on his neck and staggered onto the carriage with the help of Heifeng.
From a distance, he could still hear his cheerful voice calling "Sir." Wen Jiu could even imagine his expression, which must have been kind and gentle, with several wrinkles at the corners of his eyes from laughing.
The sky was gray, there was no wind, no rain, and the calmness was a bit depressing.
As Liu Yu's carriage gradually moved away, Wen Jiu's nose couldn't help but feel slightly sour. His vision gradually blurred.
