Chapter 742 Where to Go? (Fourth Update)
Lin Xueping felt like he had been cheated.
He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, "Your Majesty..."
"Lord Lin is thoughtful and considerate, and Prince Yannan is willing to make concessions. It couldn't be better."
Emperor Mu Wu blocked all of Lin Xueping's words with just one sentence.
——Your Majesty has made up your mind!
King Yannan was naturally very happy. He turned around and saw that Lin Xueping looked unhappy, and asked with concern, "Lord Lin, are you feeling unwell? His Majesty has listened to your advice, so why do you seem unhappy?"
“How could this happen!?”
Linköping retorted reflexively, but when he saw the many looks from people around him, he realized that he had overreacted.
He took a deep breath and twitched the corners of his mouth.
"Your Majesty is wise and open to advice. This is a blessing for us ministers."
After saying this, he retreated again, and his previous momentum to compete with King Yannan disappeared quietly.
King Yan Nan was too lazy to pay attention to him and waved at Ye Yunfeng.
"Ah Feng, what are you standing there for? Why don't you kowtow and thank me for my grace?"
Ye Yunfeng actually didn't expect that today's incident would develop like this. He had long expected that Nan Hu's group would not let him go and would definitely find ways to take action against him.
But in the end…
He shared the responsibility without being hurt at all, and was even promoted?
Ye Yunfeng reacted very quickly and immediately knelt down to express his gratitude.
"General Ye Yunfeng thanks Your Majesty for your grace! In the future, I will do my utmost to protect the peace of the border city, even if it means death!"
The boy is thin but tall and strong. Although still immature, every word he speaks is filled with indomitable courage and determination!
Powerful and sonorous!
This sentence also shocked all the court officials in the hall and made them excited.
Countless eyes fell on Ye Yunfeng with complicated expressions.
No wonder... No wonder King Yannan protects him so much. Such a character and such natural military talent are so rare.
As long as he is given time, his future will be limitless!
…
At this moment, the most embarrassed group was the Southern Hu delegation.
This time they came, they originally planned to take Tuoba Yu back, find the person who shot him, and find a way to take revenge.
Who knows——
Sikou regretted so much that his intestines turned green.
If he had not been too anxious and taken the initiative to ask about Ye Yunfeng, and had not deliberately said those words of praise, it would have been impossible for King Yannan to seize the opportunity to turn the tables!
I thought he was trying to provoke me, but he didn't care at all! He even stepped on the ladder and went up!
But it's no use saying anything now.
The overall situation was decided. Emperor Mu Wu directly approved King Yannan's request in front of them. His attitude could not be more obvious!
Someone behind him couldn't help but whispered, "Sir, what should we do?"
Si Kouji also wanted to ask, what should I do! ?
He held his breath and forced himself to calm down.
Forget it, this is someone else’s territory after all, we can’t use force.
No matter what, let’s solve the most important thing first!
"After we return, we will report today's events to the king truthfully."
Apart from saying this to save his face, Si Kou Ji didn't know what else to say.
"But we still have to take this person away."
Both sides are clear about the nature of this negotiation.
Since the other party is openly increasing its troops, they don't need to be too polite.
Si Kouji's patience had reached its limit, and his tone became much harder when he spoke.
They all understood - this was an exchange!
Sure enough, Emperor Mu Wu readily agreed this time.
"Since you are so determined, then—I have no objection. I believe your monarch will be able to handle this matter and give everyone a satisfactory result."
…
Tuoba Yu was finally taken away by the Nanhu delegation.
By the time the group arrived at the mansion where they were staying and resting, everything was packed and it was already dark.
Si Kou Ji dismissed everyone else and only took Rong Ke into the room.
Inside the room, Tuoba Yu was lying on the bed with his eyes closed and his face pale.
——Ever since he knew that he had saved his life, his mind suddenly relaxed and he fainted in the hall.
Everyone was very worried along the way, but with so many eyes and ears around them, they couldn't do anything.
I could only wait until now, send people to guard outside, and only after making sure it was safe did I finally dare to come.
Si Kouji frowned, his face full of worry, "His Royal Highness Prince Su looks very unwell, Master Shui, please help take a look!"
Before setting off, they had already anticipated that Tuoba Yu would be tortured here. They had planned to bring an imperial physician with them, but they gave up because they were afraid that it would be too conspicuous and arouse suspicion.
The only person I can count on right now is the person in front of me.
Rong Ke, oh no, his real name is Shui Xingqiu.
He came to Tuoba Yu's bedside and pulled up Tuoba Yu's wrist with an indifferent expression.
Everyone in Nanhu knew that Shui Xingqiu, the new head of the Shui family, was skilled in the art of witchcraft and poison, and naturally he also knew some medical knowledge.
Shui Xingqiu lowered his eyes slightly.
Si Kou Ji didn't dare to disturb him and clenched his hands nervously.
After a moment, Shui Xingqiu released his hand. "He must have experienced long-term hunger and abuse. The arrow wound in his shoulder is quite serious, penetrating the bone. He has never received proper treatment, so this shoulder is considered useless from now on."
"What!?"
Although he was mentally prepared, Sikou Ji's heart still trembled violently.
"How dare they--"
"Why wouldn't they dare?" Shui Xingqiu raised his eyelids and glanced at him. "It's precisely because they knew his identity that they were more ruthless. Besides, with what he'd done before, anyone else would have been killed countless times. It's a rare achievement that he's still alive today."
If Tuoba Yu was really just a bandit leader, his head would have been hung at the city gate for public display the next morning. Why would he wait until today?
Sikou wanted to say something but stopped himself.
Shui Xingqiu waved his finger lightly, and a cold light flashed below.
There was a flash of cold light, and the clothes on Tuoba Yu's shoulder were silently cut open, revealing his original wound.
Although it had been cleaned, his wound had been festering for a long time and had long lost its original appearance.
Si Kouji turned his head away, feeling reluctant, and said in deep sorrow, "If the king saw this, I wonder how heartbroken he would be!"
"He should be thankful that he was caught at this time. Although the weather is getting warmer, it is still very cold. If it were summer—"
There was no need for Shui Xingqiu to say the rest, as Sikou Ji understood it all.
With a heart full of pent-up resentment, Si Kou Ji felt extremely aggrieved!
Shui Xingqiu seemed to be accustomed to such scenes. He treated Tuoba Yu's wound quickly and efficiently and applied medicine to him again.
He handed the final bandage to Si Kou Ji.
"I have something else to do, so I'll go out for a while." He walked aside to wash his hands, then took out a handkerchief from his arms and wiped them slowly.
Si Kouji was stunned and stopped what he was doing.
"Master Shui has just arrived. Where... are you going?"
