However, before Xie Chongyue could consider his words and hide his thoughts, an eagle's cry was heard not far away.
It is a bird used for emergency communication within the church.
"...I'm afraid we'll have to go to General Sun's residence first." Xie Chongyue finished reading the note and said, "He knows you're here and is very curious about what kind of person you are."
Xu Shiqing smiled and nodded, "Then let's set off. Don't keep the old general waiting too long."
Xie Chongyue hesitated to speak: "Blame me, he seems to think you are approaching me with bad intentions."
"...What he thought makes sense." Xu Shiqing was silent for a moment, and asked himself, with Xie Chongyue's strange disease, he said that one day he would meet someone who could suppress it temporarily, but this was something only the other person could do. Anyone would have doubted it, not to mention that Xie Chongyue was a dignified prince.
I'm afraid it's more than just thinking that he has bad intentions.
However, Xu Shiqing was not worried about this. Seeing Xie Chongyue's expression, he suddenly blinked and asked maliciously, "What should I do? Or should I hide?"
Xie Chongyue subconsciously said: "It's okay, I will protect you...! Help you deal with him."
He stuttered, and almost as soon as he realized it, he said as if to make amends, "He is my grandfather after all... He won't make things difficult for you."
The voice softened.
Xie Chongyue couldn't help but regret that he had let his guard down for a moment. It was so abnormal that Xu Shiqing couldn't have failed to notice it.
"I believe in General Sun's character." Xu Shiqing raised his eyebrows and smiled, unrestrainedly: "I want to ask, is it worth it to accompany you on this journey in exchange for a pot of good wine?"
The martial arts world cannot be without wine, but sword masters rarely drink in order to hold their swords more steadily.
Obviously, this is a special situation.
Xie Chongyue's heart was stirred, and he was hooked by the young man's bright smile. He couldn't help but smile a little: "Of course."
"Let's go," said Xu Shiqing.
As they came down the mountain, they found that Ren Fangdu had already prepared a carriage and was waiting at the mountain gate.
"I wish you good luck in your military career," she said.
"Sanniang, make it clear to the other people in the sect." Xie Chongyue hesitated before getting into the car, then turned around and said, "Ziyun is just my friend, don't mistake her for someone else."
Ren Fangdu looked at him, then at Xu Shiqing who was sticking his head out of the car window, and thought that only the second half of this sentence was true.
Sun Wen was the father of the Princess of Qi. He was a very brave man when he was young and made great contributions to the stability of the Lingnan border.
The old man is already in his sixties, but he still looks very energetic. What is impressive is his eyes, which are sharp and clear, almost like a young man.
There was no conflict in their meeting. Like any serious elder, Sun Yat-sen asked about their recent situation and then got straight to the point.
The general idea is to let Xie Chongyue have a good rest and prepare to assassinate the opposing general.
It can be seen that the two of them have done this many times, and both the grandfather and the grandson understand each other's situation and needs very well, so the bidding process was particularly fast... It was filled with a sense of collusion.
Xu Shiqing muttered to himself but didn't express his thoughts. After all, the two people in front of him were planning for Qi Zhou.
"By the way, you've suddenly started taking medicine again. You should be more careful these days." General Sun Wen had been in poor health for years, reading too much paperwork, and his speech wasn't as gruff as it was in his youth. "This Half Moon Gu is difficult to cure. Only by combining the complementary forces of the child and the mother, and the interaction of the strong and the weak, can there be a glimmer of hope."
"Half Moon Gu?" Xie Chongyue frowned. "What is this?"
Hearing from the words that this matter was related to him, Xu Shiqing also perked up.
The general thought for a moment and gave a brief explanation: "The cowardly late emperor put a poison on you in order to restrain your father."
After saying this, he looked at Xu Shiqing hesitantly and said, "The conditions for refining a Half Moon Gu are extremely harsh, and there are only two in the palace."
One was given to the Prince of Qi.
The owner of the other one should be myself.
Xu Shiqing understood, but he was still a little confused: "What did the late emperor want my master to do?"
Is the relationship between Master and King Qi so good that the late emperor should give them the same treatment in this regard?
"..." Sun Wen turned his head and looked at Xie Chongyue with a look of disgust on his face.
Xie Chongyue had no choice but to stand up and bow to say goodbye. His grandfather's look of "you are such a fussy person" made him feel guilty.
After all, he knew the reason for his hesitation.
The two of them naturally settled down in the Sun Mansion.
By this time, it was already late at night.
"Is it related to my biological parents?"
Things have come to this point, and if Xu Shiqing still can't react, he might as well just hit himself to death with a piece of tofu.
"Those officials who are still alive should not be..."
Then check the year you were born.
Xu Shiqing was surprised: "Xu family?"
"...Yes." Xie Chongyue nodded. "According to my father and your master's speculation, the Half Moon Gu must have been placed on Madam Xu. Later, when she became pregnant with you, the Gu entered your body."
He began to talk about what happened twenty-six years ago.
.
In the fourth year of Chongde, Xie Huaiwei, the seventh emperor of Qi Zhou, was fifty years old. This was the twenty-fourth year of his reign.
The spring banquet that year was particularly grand. The princes, generals and ministers galloped on horseback in the imperial forest, went hunting and outings, and the palace maids came out one after another, as graceful as fairies in heaven, and so beautiful that it was breathtaking.
The young King of Qi also attended the banquet. He sat at the bottom and watched his brother, who was 27 years older than him, laughing loudly on the high platform. His voice was as hoarse as the sound of a dead tree being squeezed.
At that time, Xie Huaiwei did not know that the letter of surrender sent by the Jin Kingdom a month ago was just a cover, and the banquet held for peace and victory was just the clarion call for further expansion of the war.
