Chapter 3377 Master
The leading guard came over with a horse and said, "Young Master Wen, you've made it so hard for us to find you. Come back with us quickly. His Highness the King of Han is getting very worried."
Wen Bieyu looked up at them with red eyes.
The guard glanced around again and asked, "Where's your uncle?"
Wen Bieyu was silent for a while before saying, "He's gone."
"Gone? Where did you go?"
"Once you're gone, you're gone. You'll never come back."
"What?!"
The personal guards looked at each other, thinking that the child's words were incoherent and he was probably scared silly. But since they had finally found him, they naturally had to send him back first to reassure His Royal Highness the Prince of Han and the Imperial Concubine. So the team was divided into two groups, one group escorted him back to Yumen Pass, and the other half continued to search for Wen Wu Yu in this wilderness.
They rode at full speed and finally arrived back at Yumen Pass at noon.
At this time, Yumen Pass was in chaos. The emperor had a high fever and his whole body was as hot as a piece of red-hot carbon. He seemed to be releasing the last bit of heat in his body, which scared everyone around him.
Only the imperial concubine Si Nanyan was sitting by the bed.
In the middle of the journey, Zhu Feng half woke up in a daze, opened his red eyes a little, glanced around, and finally his gaze fell on her.
"You're here..."
His dry and cracked lips trembled slightly as he uttered these few weak words. Nan Yan hurriedly came up to him and whispered, "I'm here."
After she finished speaking, as if she was afraid that Zhu Feng couldn't hear her, she reached out and grabbed his hot hand and held it in her palm.
Then he said solemnly: "I'm here!"
This time, Zhu Feng didn't even have the strength to speak. He closed his eyes dejectedly, but seemed to be comforted by Nan Yan's two words. He no longer showed any uneasy expression, but fell into sleep again.
Chen Zixiao and Ying Shao were as anxious as ants on a hot pan.
They had come here in a hurry, without a doctor or medicine. Furthermore, the emperor's current condition was clearly not caused by any external injuries. As for his internal health—
Of all the people here, it seems that only the imperial concubine and He Yi know about it.
But the imperial concubine was wary of Heyi like she was a thief. After letting him check the emperor's pulse, she wouldn't let him get close to the emperor anymore. Heyi had no choice but to wait outside the house.
Fortunately, Xiyun, the favorite concubine of the Parthian Empire, arrived halfway.
She had her men prepare the medicine and personally brought it over, saying to Nan Yan, "This medicine comes from our Parthian Empire. It's very effective in reducing fever. Sister, give it to your brother-in-law."
Chen Zixiao stood aside, frowning slightly and said, "But this medicine..."
You know, the medicine used by the emperor is very important. Normally, it needs to be reviewed by people from the Imperial Hospital first, and even someone needs to test it.
Although everyone knew the identity of the favorite concubine of the Parthian Empire, the medicine she brought could not be given to the emperor casually.
But Nan Yan said nothing. She took the medicine bowl from Xiyun and looked at it. Inside was a dark, turbid soup that exuded a bitter and sweet taste. Nan Yan frowned and said, "Will this work?"
Xiyun said, "Why don't you believe me?"
To her, family members and lovers are equally important, and there is no reason to doubt each other.
After hearing what she said, Nan Yan felt guilty. Even if everyone in the world would harm her, the two people around her would definitely not do that.
However, she still brought the bowl to her mouth and took a sip. The medicine soup was still a little hot, and the bitter and sweet taste was very strange.
Chen Zixiao said: "My Lady!"
Nan Yan said calmly, "If anything goes wrong, I will take responsibility."
Seeing this, everyone was speechless. After all, the Imperial Concubine was the only one who could make the decision at this time. Xiyun also heard their concerns and explained, "When I was sick as a child, my brother used this medicine to reduce my fever. It worked very well."
Nan Yan nodded, and while blowing on the medicine to cool it down, she remembered something.
She turned her head and looked around.
Then he asked, "Where's Gao Ye?"
Xiyun said, "He's not here."
"Not here? Hasn't he always been with you?"
Xiyun said, "I don't know where he went. Anyway, when I woke up early this morning, you two sisters were gone, and he was gone too."
Nan Yan frowned, thought for a moment, and asked, "Then, should we send someone to look for him?"
Xiyun said, "I've also sent people out, but I'm not worried about the young man. He's much more powerful than those people. If even he's in danger, then everyone here will be in danger."
“…”
Nan Yan was silent for a moment, but ultimately said nothing.
At this time, the medicine in her hand had cooled down a little, so she asked someone to help Zhu Feng sit up and carefully fed the medicine into his mouth.
At this time, the wind and sand in the entire wasteland had stopped.
The elder took Wen Wu Yu and walked quickly all the way. Although he was very old, his steps were agile and light, and his movements were even silent. He did not show any sign of fatigue after walking for most of the day.
But at this moment, he suddenly stopped.
Wen Wuyu, who was following behind him, looked at him puzzledly: "Sir, what's wrong?"
“…”
The elder pondered for a moment, then said, "Go over there first and wait for me."
Wen Wuyu was puzzled, but he obeyed the elder's orders and immediately lowered his head and walked aside. The elder stood there for a long time, then felt a gust of wind blowing towards him. He smiled bitterly and said, "I thought I could leave quietly like this."
A low voice came from the wind.
"Can you really bear to leave like this?"
This voice was actually Gao Ye's.
He was seen walking slowly from a distance, his steps quick but heavy. He stopped when he was still some distance away from the elder. His eyes were filled with a tangled and complicated expression, his Adam's apple rolled up and down for a long time, and finally he uttered two words softly -
"master."
The elder looked him up and down for a long time, a gentle smile on his face and a look of admiration in his eyes, but he simply said, "I don't deserve the title 'Master'."
“…”
"Speaking of which, I haven't taught you anything. Your achievements today are all due to your own hard work."
Gao Ye said in a hoarse voice, "If Master hadn't taught me anything, even if I were still alive, I would still be nothing more than a rickety man wallowing in the mire."
The elder shook his head and said, "Don't underestimate yourself."
Gao also lowered his head.
He was originally calm and introverted, but at this moment he actually showed a hint of grievance.
The elder looked at him like this, and seemed a little reluctant. He was silent for a long time before he said, "How did you know I was here?"
