Wu Ge was even more bewildered: "You said this Crazy Hu was your uncle, so why is he in Jingliang Mountain, upstream of the Songwa River?"
"My uncle is a Jurchen." Sai Huatuo said lightly.
Wu Ge was even more shocked. So that was the case. If they were Jurchens, that made sense. But how did Empress Nangong know this Crazy Hu? How did she know Crazy Hu was in Jingliang Mountain? And why did Nangong Wentian cripple Crazy Hu's martial arts? Was it because he poisoned people and Nangong Wentian was upset?
There are so many strange things going on here that Wu Ge couldn't figure it out no matter how hard he tried.
The army finally arrived in Jeju, and Zhao Huan was settled in Jeju Prefecture.
Zhao Huan was seriously ill, and no one except a few generals knew about it. Wu Ge was still panicking, but finally had a glimmer of hope: "Sai Divine Doctor, can your uncle cure His Majesty's illness?"
Sai Huatuo smiled and said, "I have only learned a few superficial aspects of my master's medical skills, yet I have earned the reputation of being "Sai Huatuo" in the martial arts world and was even recommended by the prefect of Hangzhou to become an imperial physician in Beijing. If my uncle-master were still alive, how could he not cure the emperor's minor illness?"
Wu Ge was delighted when he heard this: "Then it depends on Madam Nangong."
The two accompanying military generals, Miao Fu, commander of the infantry division of the Imperial Guard, and Liu Zhengyan, governor of the Jingxi Army, were drinking in a private room of a Jeju restaurant.
Miao Fu whispered, "Your Majesty is probably dying. What should we do?"
Liu Zhengyan sneered: "It would be better if the dog emperor died. While he is seriously ill, we will rebel against him. Force the dog emperor to give up the throne to the prince, and then force him to issue an edict to appoint you and me as the Grand Marshal of the Auxiliary State."
Miao Fu nodded. "Wang Zongchu's army is in the west, heading south along the Beijing Road. A servant just reported that Linghu Yunlong and Nangong Niangniang, who were by the emperor's side, are missing again. They must have gone looking for medicine. Humph, what can they do to cure a disease that even Hua Tuo couldn't cure? But we still have Wu Ge by our side. How can we rebel?"
