Chapter 121 He's Back
Duan Kaijun looked at Dingbei Hou with a vague smile in his eyes, "Sir, you can deal with it as long as you don't serve as an official anymore."
The two chatted casually for a few more sentences, and finally Duan Kaijun said that the relationship between Nan Guo and Da'an was very important, and whether the two countries were friendly was related to the long-term stability of Nan Guo.
Marquis Dingbei said he understood.
After returning home, the first thing Marquis Dingbei did was to withdraw the guards who were monitoring Xia Xue and her group in the mansion, and then he strengthened the surveillance of Marquis Dingbei's wife.
In the next few days, he began to follow the arrangement he and Duan Kaijun had agreed upon. Five days later, many guards in the mansion were replaced. Although the people in the mansion did not go out, they also felt something vaguely.
Although Yang Junyi looked unhappy recently, he was in a very good mood. Xia Xue was a little absent-minded because she was worried about Chu Zhenxuan.
"It will be over soon and we can go home!" Yang Junyi said as he stretched lazily.
Xia Xue glared at him. Chu Zhenxuan had not returned yet and the poison in their bodies had not been cured. How should they respond?
"Didn't you notice that the security at the Dingbei Marquis' Mansion has been lifted?" Yang Junyi said again.
Xia Xue ignored him and continued to play with the tape in her hand.
Being ignored, Yang Junyi simply sat down in front of him. Looking at this face up close, Xia Xue suddenly remembered the R-rated show they watched together that night, and her face couldn't help but flush.
Yang Junyi originally wanted to tease Xia Xue, but when he saw Xia Xue's expression, his heart suddenly started beating wildly and his face felt like it was on fire.
"Why are you blushing?" Yang Junyi moved his mouth awkwardly.
"Aren't you the same!" Xia Xue glared at him and was about to get up when the door was pushed open. What came into her sight was the face she had been thinking about day and night.
Xia Xue stood there in a daze. Was she dreaming?
A flash of embarrassment flashed across Yang Junyi's eyes, and then he asked with a hint of uncertainty, "You're back?"
Chu Zhenxuan was full of enthusiasm, but the moment he pushed the door open, he was startled by the atmosphere of the two people. He turned around and asked Yang Junyi, and he nodded, "I received the message you sent. The Ningzhou guards outside have restrained the Queen Mother's personal guards. Dingbei Marquis has cut off the source of the fire. Not only did he not provide assistance, he also followed suit to encircle and suppress the Queen Mother's personal guards."
Yang Junyi nodded, "How many troops did we mobilize?"
"Less than 50,000." Chu Zhenxuan replied.
"How many more?" Yang Junyi asked again.
"The Ningzhou governor said there are still 100,000 soldiers, but I don't think so. We will consider this later," Chu Zhenxuan replied.
"Well, we have to find someone capable when we go back. This border is too important."
After this back and forth conversation, Xia Xue finally came to her senses from her daze. It was really Chu Zhenxuan who came back. So after Yang Junyi finished speaking, the figure who had been sitting quietly suddenly rushed towards Chu Zhenxuan.
Afterwards, Chu Zhenxuan hugged her and turned around on the spot, "Finally you're here. I was still thinking about how to deal with you later!"
"Who told you not to say a word? I thought I was daydreaming!" Xia Xue said coquettishly.
"I can appear in your daydream as big and alive as you do. I actually thought you didn't welcome me!" Chu Zhenxuan scratched Xia Xue's nose.
"If I say I don't welcome you, just leave? You've been gone for so long, so just keep going." Xia Xue pouted.
Chu Zhenxuan looked at the face he had been thinking about day and night, and suddenly bent down and covered her with his warm lips.
Xia Xue was stunned for a moment, then hugged him with both hands and responded.
Yang Junyi:!!!
Do you think I am air?
Yang Junyi: +70.
Xia Xue was busy so she naturally didn't see the number, but she suddenly heard a violent cough from behind her. The two people who were absorbed in the conversation then remembered that there was a third person in the room.
Chu Zhenxuan reluctantly let her go and whispered, "I'll deal with you again tonight!"
Then he took a step towards Yang Junyi, and suddenly, Yang Junyi spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Fourth Master?"
Xia Xue spoke first. Chu Zhenxuan frowned and pressed a few acupoints on Yang Junyi. "Go and invite Master Xia!"
Xia Xue nodded and hurried out.
Chu Zhenxuan helped Yang Junyi up and wanted him to lie down on the bed, but Yang Junyi refused, so Chu Zhenxuan had to send him back to his residence.
Xia Zhi arrived soon, fed Yang Junyi some pills, and took his pulse, but his complexion became worse and worse.
After taking the medicine, Yang Junyi fell asleep quickly.
Xia Zhi followed Chu Zhenxuan and Xia Xue out with a serious look on his face.
"The poisonous insect has already penetrated into its internal organs. Even if we kill the mother pig, I'm afraid it won't live long." Xia Zhi sighed.
"How could it develop so fast?" Chu Zhenxuan was a little surprised.
Xia Zhi looked at Xia Xue and thought that some things were better not to be known to Chu Zhenxuan.
"The Fourth Master has been poisoned in his body since his early years. He has been relying on his internal strength to sustain himself for so many years. His internal organs have long been damaged. The poison is even more powerful this time. I'm afraid..." Xia Zhi sighed, "There is no way to save him."
"It seems that the Fourth Master was not joking before he set out, but he already knew what was going on? But this snake poison is so powerful, is there no other way?" Xia Xue asked.
Xia Zhi shook his head and walked out slowly.
The rebellion in the Southern Kingdom soon bore fruit. The Empress Dowager's personal soldiers and several generals who supported her were torn into pieces by the Emperor and Marquis Dingbei. Some died in battle, while others surrendered. It is said that when the Empress Dowager, who was in Cining Palace, heard that her hundreds of thousands of personal soldiers had been eliminated, she rolled her eyes and died.
There is another version of the story about the Queen Mother's death. It says that the Emperor, with a childlike face, offered the Queen Mother a cup of tea and told her the news very calmly. After the Emperor left, the croupier who served the Queen Mother found that she had bled to death in her own palace.
There were many different opinions, but the result was that the Queen Mother died, and Dingbei Marquis was awarded the title of First-Class Marquis for his meritorious service in protecting the emperor. All treatment was equal to that of a prince, and the title could not be neglected throughout his life.
Ouyang Du, the prince of Dingbei Marquis, injured his legs in the palace coup and became a useless man for a while. For the sake of the marquisate, Dingbei Marquis let Ouyang Ping inherit the position of prince, but he ordered that Ouyang Du's status be equal to that of the prince.
The wife of Marquis Dingbei said that during the rebellion, a bandit broke in and killed her by mistake.
But everyone knew that the Dingbei Marquis' Mansion was the safest place. The thief who was being talked about was probably the Dingbei Marquis himself. Anyway, the Dingbei Marquis' wife was dead. Because Ouyang Ping became the crown prince, Zhang thought that she could be promoted and become the legitimate Dingbei Marquis' wife.
However, this did not happen. After the death of Marquis Dingbei's wife, Marquis Dingbei announced to the public that he would never marry again in his life. This might be an explanation to the disabled Ouyang Du.
After everything was settled, Duan Kaijun officially came to the Dingbei Marquis Mansion to fulfill his promise, which was also equivalent to formally receiving Da'an's visit.
However, seeing Yang Junyi becoming more and more haggard, Duan Kaijun was shocked, "The mother pig who raised him is dead, how come his mother pig is not dead???"
