Chapter 730: Family Reunion
In a chaotic world, they are each other's harbor.
The moment we hugged each other, all the fear and anxiety disappeared.
Tang Li smelled the strong smell of blood and crawled out of Wei Qing's arms, asking worriedly, "Husband, are you injured? Is it serious?"
Wei Qing hugged her and did not let go.
"He was injured in several places, all on his back and arms. They were not serious and have been treated." Wei Qing said.
She still felt heartbroken when her husband said this. Her husband had been injured all the time during this period of time, and she didn't know how many wounds he had on his body.
"Wife, let's go home." Wei Qing said softly.
Tangli nodded: "Well, go home."
Wei Qing wrapped Tang Li's small hand in his big hand and walked towards the palace gate.
Xu Jue and Wei Ziang followed behind them, looked at their tightly clasped hands, glanced at each other, and smiled.
It’s great that both Dad and Mom are fine.
The family can finally be reunited.
Along the way, Tang Li also learned from Wei Qing what happened in the palace.
When her husband was taking the emperor out of the palace, they were stopped by Zhao Shu. Zhao Shu turned around and accused them of holding the emperor hostage to force the emperor to abdicate. Fortunately, the emperor woke up in time and exposed Zhao Shu's true identity.
Next, there was a fight between Zhao Shu's private soldiers and the imperial guards.
Wei Qing estimated that Zhao Shu had about 20,000 private soldiers. The location where the private soldiers were stationed was three or four days' journey from the capital by horseback.
However, the cavalry among the private soldiers was still a small number, so only a part of the 20,000 people arrived, and only a few thousand entered the palace.
These thousands of people fought with the Imperial Guards, and in the end, the Imperial Guards gained the upper hand.
Seeing that the situation was hopeless, Zhao Shu fled with his men.
The day before, Zhao Shu was in control of the palace and felt that he was only one step away from the throne.
In a blink of an eye, he became a traitor and fled everywhere.
Life is full of ups and downs.
Tang Li hoped that Zhao Shu would fall on his face this time and never get up again.
"When Zhao Shu ran away, he also wanted to take Zi'ang and Xu Jue with him." Tang Li said.
Tang Li still felt a little scared when he thought of those footsteps.
Fortunately, they hid in advance, otherwise they would have fallen into Zhao Shu's hands.
Zi'ang and Xu Jue are their weaknesses. If they fall into Zhao Shu's hands, the consequences will be unimaginable.
Fortunately, fortunately.
"Your third brother is here to help too." Wei Qing said.
Tangli was not surprised.
Although her third brother was a gigolo at home, he had been a Yulin Guard after all, and his martial arts skills were not bad. He could still be of use at a critical moment.
"Is my third brother okay?" Tang Li asked.
"No problem." Wei Qing said.
"Husband, do you think Zhao Shu should run away, or wait for the remaining private soldiers to come and then fight a desperate battle?" Tang Li asked.
If it is the latter, then the crisis in the capital has not been resolved.
"Before the emperor wakes up, we have no right to dispatch the army, and Zhao Shu has an absolute advantage. Once the emperor wakes up, Zhao Shu will be a traitor. General Gu and General Liang are stationed on the border, far away from the capital, and it will take a long time for them to rush back, but there is also General Cao. General Cao is already on his way back and will arrive in the capital soon. Therefore, even if the remaining private soldiers of Zhao Shu arrive, they will not cause any trouble." Wei Qing said.
Hearing that Zhao Shu could not cause any trouble, Tang Li felt relieved.
As they walked towards the palace gate, they saw corpses everywhere and the imperial guards were cleaning up the mess.
The whole journey was shocking.
Zhao Shu killed so many people because of his ambition.
Tang Li doesn't want anyone else to die because of Zhao Shu.
"Husband, we must catch him and not give him a chance to make a comeback." Tang Li said.
"Well, we must catch him."
"Who went after Zhao Shu?"
"Zhao Duan." Wei Qing said.
Now the palace and the capital are in chaos. Wei Qing needs to stay in the capital, and the task of pursuing Zhao Shu falls on Zhao Duan.
Zhao Duan has made meritorious contributions while serving his sentence, so perhaps he can be given a lighter sentence.
The four of them arrived at the palace gate, got on a carriage, and then rode back to the Wu Mansion.
We also saw many corpses and bloodstains along the way.
Some were imperial guards, and some were ordinary people.
Tang Li frowned as he watched, feeling very sorry.
Wei Qing simply pulled down the curtain and held the person in his arms.
"Don't look at it." Wei Qing said softly.
"Hmm." Tang Li said sullenly.
In the face of such a huge change, she was powerless and could only do her best to protect her loved ones.
The four of them returned to Wu Mansion in a carriage.
Then he saw blood on the door of Wu's mansion, and several servants were cleaning the blood.
Tang Li and Wei Qing's expressions changed.
"What's with all this blood?" Tang Li asked.
"Madam, the rebels wanted to break into the Wu Mansion to steal things, and the guards started fighting with the rebels." The servant reported.
"How are the people in the mansion?" Tang Li asked hurriedly.
"The guards fought desperately, and the rebels fled after failing to break in. Only a few guards were injured, and no one in the mansion was injured."
Wei Qing and Tang Li both breathed a sigh of relief.
Tang Li felt that their intention to enter the Wu Mansion was definitely not just to rob property, but they probably wanted to vent their anger and capture a few more hostages.
Fortunately, nothing happened.
Tangli was thankful again.
As soon as I entered the door, I saw a figure standing there, directing the servants to clean up. It was Wei Ziyi.
Wei Ziyi's face turned pale.
Not long ago, he encountered an extremely terrible thing.
The brutal rebels are about to rush in.
He watched the guards fighting the rebels, and the hand that usually held a book and a pen also picked up a sword...
Fortunately, he was kept outside the door.
After the rebels left, Wei Ziyi was still a little dazed, afraid that the rebels would come back.
He still held the sword tightly in his hand.
"Zi Yi." Tang Li called.
Wei Ziyi suddenly raised his head and looked at the two of them.
The illusions on Tang Li and Wei Qing have been removed, and they have returned to their original appearance.
When Wei Ziyi saw the two of them, his spirits immediately recovered, and his panic-stricken heart settled down.
"Dad, Mom!" Wei Ziyi said happily.
Tang Li and Wei Qing touched Wei Ziyi's head, said a few words of comfort, and then returned to their residence.
The first thing Tang Li did was to check Wei Qing’s wound.
Wei Qing said, "Wife, I can do it myself. Go and see Tang Bao and Mu Bao."
Tang Li just stood at the door and didn't leave. He looked at him straight with a stubborn look in his eyes.
Although she missed Tang Bao and Mu Bao very much, she was more worried about Wei Qing.
Wei Qing had no choice but to take off his clothes.
When Wei Qing talked about his injuries, he spoke lightly, saying that there were only some wounds on his back and arms. However, when he took off his clothes, his thin muscle tissue was covered with various wounds. There were several large wounds wrapped in gauze, but they were all bleeding. The small wounds overlapped with each other, and the skin and flesh were turned inside out, which was shocking.
The fabric of the clothes was stuck to the wound, and it was painful to tear it off.
Tangli's movements were extremely gentle.
"Wife, this injury looks scary, but it doesn't hurt at all..." Wei Qing said.
"I'm not stupid. How can I not feel pain from so many injuries?" Tang Li said sullenly.
"Oh, it really doesn't hurt. If you don't believe me, try punching me again." Wei Qing said. Seeing Tang Li's red eyes, he panicked. "Wife, why are you crying? Don't cry."
As he said this, he was about to wipe her tears.
"Don't move." Tang Li said fiercely.
Wei Qing suddenly didn't dare to move.
Tangli pursed her lips, applied medicine to the larger wounds, bandaged them again, and then applied medicine to the smaller wounds...
"This medicine is really effective. It doesn't hurt at all after I apply it." Wei Qing said.
Seeing Tangli’s red eyes, Wei Qing wanted to go out for a run to prove that he was not in pain.
"Well, it doesn't hurt. I believe it. Just sit still." Tang Li pulled him to sit down.
"Wife, I'm really fine. Go and see Tang Bao and Mu Bao."
Tang Li kissed the uninjured side of Wei Qing's face before turning around and leaving to see the two little guys.
Not long after Tang Li left, a member of the imperial guard came to ask for a meeting, and Wei Qing's face became serious.
The emperor has ordered that all imperial guards obey Wu Yu's orders.
Wei Qing is now equivalent to the commander of the imperial guards.
The Imperial Guards came to report the situation to Wei Qing.
"Sir Wu, the rebels stole a lot of property when they left, and also killed many officials of the imperial court. Here is the list of the victims."
The imperial guards handed the list to Wei Qing.
Wei Qing looked at the names listed. There were more than a dozen people, many of whom were colleagues Wei Qing was familiar with. This was a heavy loss for the court.
I'm afraid that for a period of time, the court will be in chaos and it will be difficult to recover.
"Who did Zhao Shu take with him when he escaped?" Wei Qing asked.
"The Royal Concubine was taken away, the Holy Doctor has been captured, and none of the wives and concubines in the palace were taken away."
"Is Zhao Shu's princess Jinse here?" Wei Qing asked.
The imperial guard thought about it and was not sure: "I need to confirm it."
"If he's there, lock him up. If he's not there, search for him," Wei Qing said.
This woman was the heroine chosen by Yuan Tiandao. She had harmed his wife many times. This time, she must not be let off.
"Yes, sir." The imperial guards took the order and left.
Not long after the Imperial Guards left, the secret guards appeared again and reported things that the Imperial Guards would not report.
"Master, the emperor has summoned the Holy Doctor."
After the secret guard left, Wei Qing sat there straight with a cold expression.
The emperor knew that the saintly physician had poisoned him, but he still summoned him and couldn't resist taking his medicine. He was simply courting death.
Since he wants to die, let him go.
Anyway, he was happy to see it happen.
The day when the Xiao family sees the light of day again is approaching.
