Chapter 166 Surrender
Chapter 166 Surrender
Xuanyuan Xingyao and Nangong Jing slept for almost three days before waking up. When they woke up, Xuanyuan Xingyao was just a little weak, but Nangong Jing felt as if his whole body had been torn apart, and there was no place that felt comfortable.
"Xiao Jinzi, please give me some holy light to heal me."
After Nangong Jing woke up, the first thing he did was to summon the Golden Bird and let it heal him.
The healing skills of the Golden Bird are truly amazing. Just one holy light of healing made Nangong Jing completely full of energy again.
In comparison, Xuanyuan Xingyao seemed to be the one being tormented.
Nangong Jing was unconscious at the time and didn't know what happened next, so when he saw Xuanyuan Xingyao's face didn't look good, he felt a little confused.
"What's wrong with you? The effect of the medicine has worn off, so why do you still look so grim?"
"The medicine Zhuge Wan'er gave me was a bit overbearing. My body has been hurt a bit and I need some time to recuperate."
Xuanyuan Xingyao didn't explain it in too much detail. Whether it was due to his pride or his male chauvinism, Xuanyuan Xingyao didn't want Nangong Jing to know that he was temporarily unable to do so.
Nangong Jing's face darkened when he heard this, and then he muttered in confusion.
"If Zhuge Wan'er wanted to take revenge on us, wouldn't it have been quicker to just poison us? Giving you this medicine seems like a fait accompli. But if that were the case, why would she give you something so harmful?"
Nangong Jing's muttering made Xuanyuan Xingyao's eyes flicker.
Xuanyuan Xingyao hadn't thought about this before, but now after hearing Nangong Jing's muttering, Xuanyuan Xingyao realized what he had overlooked.
When the imperial physician prescribed the medicine, he had already calculated that Xuanyuan Xingyao would be in a coma for a few days.
Therefore, not long after Xuanyuan Xingyao woke up, the imperial physician came again with medicine.
"Your Highness, you need to cultivate your body and mind while taking the medicine."
The imperial physician looked at Xuanyuan Xingyao and Nangong Jing with eyes that almost said, "You two are not allowed to be intimate before the medication is stopped."
Xuanyuan Xingyao was fine, but Nangong Jing was embarrassed.
"This king knows what's going on."
Xuanyuan Xingyao naturally wouldn't joke about his own body.
Seeing that Xuanyuan Xingyao agreed, the imperial physician did not stay any longer and retreated with the empty bowl.
"I've never seen someone as useless as you. You actually let a girl trick you, causing my apprentice to suffer so much."
After Xuanyuan Xingyao and Nangong Jing woke up, they naturally couldn't stay in the room all the time. As soon as they appeared in front of Han Yan and Bing Linxuan, before they had time to salute, Xuanyuan Xingyao was scolded by Han Yan.
Xuanyuan Xingyao also knew that Nangong Jing had suffered a lot this time, and it was deserved for him to be scolded by Han Yan, so he stood there obediently and let Han Yan scold him.
But Nangong Jing couldn't bear to let him go, so he stepped forward and said a few good words for Xuanyuan Xingyao, and then received a look of disappointment from Han Yan.
"Old Han, I feel like you're just like a father-in-law looking at his son-in-law. No matter how you look at him, you just can't stand him."
Bing Linxuan joked to Han Yan with a playful smile.
"I don't like you anymore. How about we go to the training ground and practice?"
Han Yan couldn't do anything to Xuanyuan Xingyao, but couldn't he vent his anger on Binglinxuan?
Bing Linxuan never thought that he was just joking and ended up getting into trouble.
Although Bing Linxuan is already a war saint, it seems that he is only one level away from summoning gods.
But you should know that the higher the level, the greater the gap.
Especially after the War Emperor, the strength difference of a small level is huge, which can often determine the victory or defeat of both sides, not to mention a large level.
Bing Linxuan and Han Yan are sparring, what's the difference between that and asking for trouble?
But Bing Linxuan couldn't refuse and was "forced" to go to the martial arts training ground by Han Yan.
There was no other way, Bing Linxuan could only go ahead with it.
Bing Linxuan almost couldn't breathe when he saw Xuanyuan Xingyao and Mo Jiutian looking at him and Han Yan with shining eyes.
What kind of disciple is this? He is so happy to see his master is about to be abused.
Especially the traitor Xuanyuan Xingyao. I used to think he was the most caring and the cutest, but now he is just a traitor.
He didn't even think about why Han Yan had his eyes on him. He was careless in accepting him as a disciple.
Mo Jiutian and Xuanyuan Xingyao had no idea what Bing Linxuan was thinking. The reason their eyes lit up was simply because the duel between powerful beings at the god-level and saint-level was too rare.
It is a rare opportunity to watch, and for these two martial arts fanatics, it is a godsend, so they are naturally excited.
Of course, if a god-level strongman came instead, Xuanyuan Xingyao and Mo Jiutian would naturally be worried. Even more so, if Bing Linxuan encountered any danger, they would also take his place.
But isn’t Han Yan one of us? Moreover, Han Yan and Bing Linxuan have been friends for many years. Even if he attacks ruthlessly, he can’t really hurt Bing Linxuan, right?
A war saint and a summoner of gods, even if it was just a joking exchange, it attracted many worshippers to watch.
Han Yan and Bing Linxuan initially just wanted to have a brief exchange, but later on both of them became more serious.
Bing Linxuan's cultivation was almost entirely gained through fighting, so it was common for him to challenge opponents of higher levels.
If it weren't for the huge difference in cultivation between Han Yan and Bing Linxuan, it would be hard to say who would win or lose.
Although Bing Linxuan and Han Yan were serious, it was just a competition, not a life-and-death duel.
So after fighting from dawn to dusk, the two men stopped tacitly.
When the two stopped fighting, the people watching around them were still a little reluctant to leave.
Especially the warriors and summoners, they learned a lot from the competition between Han Yan and Bing Linxuan, and some of them even went back to seclude themselves.
"Master, I'm going back to my mansion to retreat first. If you have anything to say, just talk to my boss."
Mo Jiutian also gained a lot this time and prepared to return to the Mo family for a retreat.
Bing Linxuan saw the spiritual energy floating around Mo Jiutian and knew that he might be about to break through, so he nodded in relief.
"Go ahead, I, your master, don't need you to worry about me."
Mo Jiutian did not delay after hearing this. He bowed to Bing Linxuan and Han Yan, nodded to Xuanyuan Xingyao and Nangong Jing, turned around and disappeared into the night.
"After Second Brother comes out of seclusion this time, who knows, he might even be able to surpass First Brother."
Zhang Shumo and Mo Jiutian are of comparable strength. If Mo Jiutian can really make a breakthrough this time, it would be no joke for him to surpass Zhang Shumo.
"Shumo, that bastard, needs to be stimulated. He obviously has good talent, but he is too lazy and wastes his talent."
Bing Linxuan said with some regret.
Zhang Shumo is not really lazy, he is just a little more slack than Bing Linxuan and Mo Jiutian.
In addition, Zhang Shumo has been wholeheartedly pursuing her husband recently, so naturally she has no time to practice.
Mo Jiutian is the kind of person who wants to practice for 24 hours a day. It is not surprising that Zhang Shumo was overtaken by Mo Jiutian after a while.
Even if Zhang Shumo was really overtaken, he would not be jealous given his personality. After all, everyone has different pursuits.
Mo Jiutian pursues the ultimate in martial arts, but Zhang Shumo yearns for a free life.
After Xuanyuan Xingyao and Nangong Jing woke up, they originally planned to return to the prince's mansion or the duke's mansion.
But on Xuanyuan Xingyao's side, neither Xuanyuan Hongtai nor Ning You would let him leave the palace, and insisted that he recuperate in the palace before going out.
As for Nangong Jing, he was kept by Han Yan, under the euphemism of receiving guidance.
Also, because the two of them stayed in the palace, they had no idea that Nangong Dao and Xuanyuan Qing were in contact.
If Xuanyuan Leng had not had someone secretly keep an eye on Xuanyuan Qing, he would not have noticed that Xuanyuan Qing was actually approaching Nangong Dao.
Nangong Dao and Xuanyuan Qing have somewhat similar personalities. Both of them are strong in fighting skills and have high IQs, but they are a little lacking in strategy.
Xuanyuan Qing has Xuanyuan Xi's help, while Nangong Dao relies on Nangong Ling and Nangong Chen.
Xuanyuan Qing was originally compared to Nangong Dao. Nangong Dao was the same as Nangong Mu and Nangong Jing, although they were all sons of Nangong Tao.
But the former is obviously not as favored as the latter. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this Duke's Mansion will be inherited by either Nangong Mu or Nangong Jing in the future, and Nangong Dao has nothing to do with it at all.
But Xuanyuan Xi didn't think so. Nangong Jing and Xuanyuan Xingyao were together, so they would definitely not have children of their own in the future.
Even for the inheritance of the Duke's Mansion, Nangong Tao would definitely choose Nangong Mu as his heir.
Nangong Mu and Nangong Jing have a good relationship, and that is known to the entire imperial capital.
If Nangong Mu really inherited the Duke's Mansion, it would be equivalent to handing the Duke's Mansion over to Xuanyuan Xingyao, or Xuanyuan Leng.
Nangong Dao is different. Nangong Dao and Nangong Jing have a bad relationship. If Nangong Dao inherits the Duke's Mansion, Nangong Jing will definitely not be able to borrow the power of the Duke's Mansion.
"That's what you said, but you also said just now that Nangong Tao thinks highly of Nangong Mu, and Nangong Mu himself is also very outstanding. How could Nangong Tao bypass Nangong Mu and choose Nangong Dao?"
Xuanyuan Qing asked in confusion.
"If Nangong Mu is gone, then Nangong Dao will have hope."
Xuanyuan Xi said meaningfully.
Xuanyuan Qing understood Xuanyuan Xi's look and also gave him a meaningful smile.
"But may I know why you chose Nangong Dao?"
"Nangong Dao has a simple mind and is relatively easy to control. Moreover, Nangong Dao's concubine's family background is ordinary. If he wants to inherit the Duke's Mansion, he will definitely need our help. In this way, he will definitely not refuse anything we ask him to do."
Xuanyuan Xi's eyes were deep and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised.
Xuanyuan Qing seemed to understand, but also seemed not to understand. But since Xuanyuan Xi said so, then Nangong Dao must be the best choice.
So, Xuanyuan Qing sent people to find out Nangong Dao's daily schedule and encountered him several times.
Then he slightly showed his admiration for each other, and finally, without Xuanyuan Qing saying anything more, Nangong Dao expressed his loyalty to Xuanyuan Qing.
Xuanyuan Qing originally came here to accept Nangong Dao as his subordinate. After Nangong Dao showed his intention to surrender, Xuanyuan Qing naturally accepted him as his subordinate.
One thought he had found a big man, the other thought he had gotten a good chess piece, and both sides couldn't help but smile with satisfaction.
