"Third brother!"

"Fourth brother!"

“…”

“…”

"Brother... hurry up... you... take my fourth brother and the others... and go..."

The soldiers, their bodies riddled with arrows, knelt upright in front of him, willing to die to block the last arrow for him.

"Third brother - Third brother -"

It was a heart-wrenching roar and a heart-wrenching cry. He held his brother who was pierced by thousands of arrows, watched him take his last breath in his arms, and let out a desperate and collapsed wail: "Ah——"

Gui Bo suddenly screamed.

This shocked Helian Ye.

He forgot to make his move for a moment.

"Something's wrong, bro!"

Wei Ting's expression became serious. He quickly used his Qinggong skills to get behind Gui Bu and kicked Helian Ye on the shoulder. At the moment he kicked Helian Ye out, he took a few steps back while holding Gui Bu.

At the same time, masters from Northern Yan, the imperial guards, and several guards from Western Jin arrived together.

"General Helian, General Helian, are you in front?"

A Beiyan master shouted loudly.

The two brothers exchanged glances and left with Gui Bu, who was in a manic state.

Wei Liulang did not forget to take away the mask on the ground.

In the open space at the entrance of the hunting ground, everyone had eaten and drunk their fill. Emperor Jingxuan was also tired, so he took the empress and others back to the bedroom.

Su Cheng asked Su Xiaoxiao to go back first while he took people to look for his son-in-law.

The people of Northern Yan should have guessed what happened in the forest. In order to prevent themselves from being silenced, they not only called the imperial guards, but also called the envoys of the Western Jin Dynasty. They were very cautious.

"Dad, be careful too." Su Xiaoxiao said.

Su Cheng said: "Don't worry, this is the territory of the Great Zhou after all, I know what's going on."

Su Xiaoxiao looked at Su Cheng, who was wearing armor and full of righteousness, and suddenly felt that he had grown up a lot. He was no longer the country bully who slept until noon, had no aspirations, and extorted people every day.

Her father is a man of integrity and the future master of the Duke of Huguo's Mansion.

She returned to the courtyard.

The children played in the Queen Mother's Palace for the whole day and fell asleep as soon as they came back.

Li had just finished giving Xiaohu a bath.

Xiaohu was sleeping soundly and no matter how I called him, he wouldn't wake up.

"I'm back." Li wrung out the towel, "Huh? Where are Xiaoqi and the others?"

As I was asking, a few people came back.

When the two heard the noise, they hurried to the door to take a look.

Wei Ting carried Gui Bu back to the house in the west courtyard, and Wei Liulang followed in a hurry.

"What happened? Why did Big Brother have to be carried back by Xiao Qi?"

Su Xiaoxiao said: "I'll go take a look."

Li also wanted to go, but when she looked back at the children, she decided to stay here.

Wei Ting placed Gui Bu on the hard bed: "Sixth brother, go call Xiao..."

"I am coming."

Su Xiaoxiao stepped inside.

She came to the bed, Wei Ting hung up the curtains, and came over with Wei Liulang to light the lamp: "Big brother fought with Helian Ye and seriously injured Helian Ye. At the critical moment, big brother's mask fell off. Helian Ye said something, and big brother suddenly hugged his head and screamed in pain."

"head?"

Su Xiaoxiao examined his head and ruled out the possibility of external injury.

Wei Ting frowned and said, "Brother seems to have lost control suddenly... I pressed his acupoints."

It's not easy to press the acupoints of Gui Bu, and he got hit by several punches.

Su Xiaoxiao glanced at the two embarrassed people and asked: "You and Sixth Brother are also injured?"

They only had superficial injuries, nothing serious.

But the eldest brother's appearance is very worrying.

Su Xiaoxiao took Gui Bu's pulse and checked his injuries.

Helian Ye was a very powerful opponent. It was impossible to escape unscathed from a fight with him. Gui Bu suffered some external injuries, but they were not serious.

Su Xiaoxiao said: "Judging from the pulse, there is no big problem."

Wei Ting said: "Brother seems very weak."

It was dark just now and they couldn't see clearly, but when the oil lamp shone on it, they found that Guibo's face was frighteningly pale.

Su Xiaoxiao brought saline solution and wound medicine: "He has entered a period of weakness after the battle."

"How could it be..." Wei Ting and Wei Liulang were both stunned.

Wei Ting felt a little guilty. He had fought with Xiu Nu before, and he knew that there were signs before a assassin would enter a weak period. He did not notice such signs in his elder brother, and thought that he would have to fight for a while longer before entering a weak period.

Judging from the battle situation at that time, Helian Ye would not be able to hold on until that time.

Su Xiaoxiao thought about it seriously and said, "It may not be the weakness caused by fighting with Helian Ye. Didn't you just say that Big Brother suddenly had a headache? I think it may be related to this."

Wei Liulang asked anxiously, "But why did you suddenly have a headache? Did you really get hurt or sick?"

"No." Su Xiaoxiao was confident in her medical skills. Gui Bu was indeed slightly injured, but it was definitely not enough to give him a headache or make him so manic that he would enter a weak period.

"There's a possibility," she said, "that he remembered something."

In another courtyard of the palace, the medical officers of Beiyan had also treated Helian Ye's injuries. Gui Bu's sword had stabbed him very deeply, almost piercing his abdomen. The medical officers used the best medicine, but it was fortunate for him. If it were someone else, he would have died long ago.

Zhao Kangning sat on the bed, holding Helian Ye's hand, and choked up, "Uncle, who hurt you? Tell Ning'er! Ning'er will avenge you!"

Helian Ye was unconscious and did not respond.

Zhao Kangning burst into tears.

The news of Helian Ye's injury caused a lot of controversy. It was obviously not a bite from a wild beast, but a sword wound. The envoy of Northern Yan went before Emperor Jingxuan and asked him to give an explanation to Northern Yan, otherwise it would be tantamount to declaring war on Northern Yan.

Emperor Jingxuan was also wronged. Although he wished Helian Ye would die, he would not kill someone so blatantly.

"Who else didn't leave the forest at that time?" he asked the commander of the Royal Guards.

The chief commander of the Imperial Guard was named Yang, and he was a close confidant of Emperor Jingxuan.

Commander Yang glanced at Su Cheng standing beside him and said sternly, "Wei Ting."

Su Cheng was shocked: "Wei Ting is out, playing with the children at the Queen Mother's place."

Emperor Jingxuan sent someone to the Empress Dowager's bedroom to inquire.

The Queen Mother said, "He came to pick up the child in the evening. I invited him to have dinner with me. He left not long ago. Are you looking for him?"

Helian Ye was found after dark, and Wei Ting was having dinner at the Queen Mother's house at that time. The Queen Mother also invited several envoys from Northern Yan and Western Jin and their families. Everyone can testify to this.

That Wei Ting was Su Li in disguise.

Su Li asked his elder brother why he was suddenly so kind to bring him hunting, but it turned out that he was using him as a tool again.

Emperor Jingxuan said that he would investigate the matter thoroughly.

Helian Ye had no idea that a huge uproar had arisen outside. He lay on his bed, with Wei Ting's sneering face flashing through his mind.

"Helian Ye, do you know that you are a big wronged person?"

"My grandfather has nothing to do with you!"

"Look at your whole body, how do you resemble our Wei family?"

"You are not my grandfather's son! You never can be!"

…

"I am... I am the son of Lord Wu'an... I am..."

"I am……"

"You all lied to me...you all let me down...you all..."

The door opened.

Under the eerie moonlight, a dark shadow slowly walked in.
