The two men turned around in shock, only to see an old man with gray hair and a vicious face standing there. This man must be Hu Fengzi.
When Crazy Hu saw Nangong Lian'er, he was stunned for a moment, and kept muttering: "Siyao, Siyao, Siyao!"
Crazy Hu yelled and rushed over. Nangong Lian'er was startled and took a step back involuntarily.
With a 'clang!', Linghu Yunlong's sword pointed at Hu Fengzi's throat. Hu Fengzi was so scared that he raised his hands high: "No, no... You, you are Siyao's daughter?"
Nangong Lian'er was furious: "You are talking nonsense! My father just doesn't want to kill you. He said you are not worthy of his attack."
Crazy Hu was stunned for a moment, then sneered, "Am I not worthy of his attack? If he hadn't forced me to poison Wanyan Wuya's wine, how could Nangong Wentian have spared me?"
Nangong Lian'er and Linghu Yunlong looked at each other, not understanding what Crazy Hu meant.
Nangong Lian'er was furious: "You are talking nonsense. How could my father poison someone's wine?"
Crazy Hu sighed and explained, "Taizu Aguda defeated the Liao people, and the clan leader Wu Yashu set his sights on the fat piece of meat of the Song Dynasty. Nangong Wentian got the news from somewhere and forced me to poison Wu Yashu's wine."
Linghu Yunlong finally realized that Wanyan Wuyashu, the Jurchen clan leader, had died under mysterious circumstances on his way back to Shangjing. Rumor had it that he had fallen ill, and that Wanyan Aguda had succeeded him after his death. It turned out to be the poison of Crazy Hu.
Linghu Yunlong pointed his sword at him and said, "Nangong Wentian is a Song Dynasty man. He forced you to poison him for the sake of his country and his people. General Nangong lived a life worthy of heaven and earth, fighting and dying for the Song Dynasty. He is revered by both the Jianghu and the common people. You are sentimental, but your heroic spirit is weak. A narrow-minded person like you is naturally unworthy of the general's attack!"
Crazy Hu lowered his head in shame. Nangong Lian'er said angrily: "We want you to save someone now. Come with us now."
Crazy Hu was stunned: "Who are you saving? What happened to you two again?"
Linghu Yunlong shouted, "What nonsense are you talking about! This is our Empress Nangong, married to His Majesty, the current Emperor of the Song Dynasty. It is His Majesty that we ask you to save!"
Crazy Hu was even more shocked: "You became the Empress? What disease did the Emperor of the Song Dynasty have?"
Nangong Lian'er was about to cry: "Your Majesty is suffering from severe typhoid fever and dysentery."
Crazy Hu thought for a moment and then realized the crux of the matter: "A severe illness of cold and dysentery, the King of Hell will go without a invitation."
Nangong Lian'er raised her head with tears in her eyes: "Do you have a cure?"
Crazy Hu was shocked all over. Nangong Lian'er's eyes were very similar to the way Bu Siyao looked at Nangong Wentian when she was dying, with infinite love and reluctance in her eyes.
This look made Crazy Hu jealous and furious: "There's no cure! There's no way! Let him die!"
Linghu Yunlong thrust his sword out, gently piercing the skin of his throat. "If you don't go, I will cut you into pieces and throw you into the wilderness to feed the dogs."
Unexpectedly, Crazy Hu was extremely afraid of death. He trembled all over and covered his head: "I, I will go, I will go."
Linghu Yunlong didn't expect him to be so straightforward. His eyes were full of disdain: "You are not even worthy of carrying General Nangong's shoes."
Crazy Hu held his head, nodded and gave a fake smile, and when he lowered his head, his face was sinister and vicious.
Nangong Lian'er was overjoyed; she hadn't expected it to go so smoothly. She'd expected some setbacks, like this madman Hu's refusal to surrender and accept treatment. But this man was a coward, willing to give in after only a sword threat. It seemed like His Majesty was blessed by heaven, like the true dragon emperor, blessed by the gods.
Nangong Lian'er thought too simply. Crazy Hu was once the dreaded Poison King.
"General Wu Ge, I want to discuss something with you." Liu Zhengyan found Wu Ge.
Wu Ge frowned slightly: "What do you want from me?"
Liu Zhengyan bowed his head and said, "It's General Miao Fu. He said he wants to discuss the safety of His Majesty with you."
Wu Ge had no doubts: "The sun is rising from the west. When did Miao Fu become so dedicated? Take me to see it."
Liu Zhengyan bowed to the ground, appearing even more respectful. "General Wu, please come with me."
Wu Ge followed Liu Zhengyan out of Jizhou Prefecture and before leaving, he instructed his men to protect the emperor. After all, this was still in the Northeast, Jurchen territory, and there was no guarantee that the remnants of the Great Jin would cause trouble.
Liu Zhengyan led Wu Ge toward the city of Jizhou. It was already late at night. The streets were deserted, and Wu Ge felt something was amiss as he walked. "Envoy Liu Jing, where are you taking me?"
Liu Zhengyan turned around with a charming smile on his face. "General, please forgive me. General Miao noticed some suspicious people moving around near the government office. For the sake of your majesty's safety, I consulted with General Wu about security. There are many people here, so General Miao found a secluded place to hide from others."
Wu Ge nodded: "It's rare that Master Miao is so thoughtful. I underestimated him before."
As Liu Zhengyan was speaking, he stopped in front of the door of a wealthy family.
"Bang~Bang! ..." Liu Zhengyan knocked on the door rhythmically, one long and two short.
Soon the door creaked open, and a servant opened it. Wu Ge could tell the servant was a guard in disguise, and couldn't help but laugh: "Miao Fu is being so mysterious, what is he trying to do?"
Liu Zhengyan didn't answer. He smiled and made a gesture of invitation, and Wu Ge walked in.
As soon as Wu Ge entered the room, the guard locked the door.
Wu Ge turned back warily, and Liu Zhengyan hurriedly said with a smile: "Don't be surprised, General Wu. The remnants of the Former Jin are rampant, and General Miao is just being cautious."
Wu Ge nodded: "Yes, where is Miao Fu?"
