Qi Guze and the Ghost Doctor stood silently in a corner of the battlefield, their eyes filled with sorrow and respect. They knew that these fallen soldiers had fought for their country and honor, and their sacrifice would be forever recorded in history.
Afterwards, they led the remaining soldiers onward. Their destination was the capital of Dongsang Kingdom. After a long journey, they finally arrived at the capital and, guided by the soldiers, entered the royal palace of the Eastern Three Kingdoms. Qi Guze presented the sacred herb in his hand to the King of Dongsang.
King Dongsang smiled with satisfaction when he saw them return victorious.
He accepted the sacred herb and said gratefully to Qi Guze and the Ghost Doctor, "You have done me a great service."
Qi Guze stood in the main hall of the Eastern Sang King, his heart filled with mixed emotions. He looked firmly at the Eastern Sang King before him and said, "I hope that Your Majesty will keep your word."
King Dongsang smiled slightly and replied confidently, "Of course, I will lend you my most elite troops, as well as Dongsang's spies, to help you find your enemies."
Upon hearing this, Qi Guze felt a warmth in his heart and gratefully said, "Thank you." After saying that, he took the half of the military tally from the King of Dongsang and felt its heavy weight.
Just as Qi Guze was about to leave, King Dongsang suddenly said, "Xiaoyezi, you stay." His voice was soft, but it carried an undeniable authority.
Qi Guze paused, then exchanged a glance with the Ghost Doctor beside him.
The Ghost Doctor nodded slightly, indicating that everything was understood without words. Qi Guze then turned around and slowly walked out of the palace.
Inside the main hall, only King Dongsang and the Ghost Doctor remained. The air seemed to freeze, and the atmosphere was somewhat oppressive.
King Dongsang sat upright on the dragon throne, looking intently at the Ghost Doctor, and said, "Little Yezi, you know what I want to talk to you about."
The Ghost Doctor remained silent for a moment before speaking, "Your Majesty, are you really willing to offend the other three kingdoms for the sake of your own desires?"
His voice carried a hint of admonition. King Dongsang sneered and said, "The people of the other three kingdoms are nothing but a rabble; my Dongsang Kingdom is the true overlord."
The Ghost Doctor sighed and said, "Your Majesty, what you are doing may bring endless trouble to the Eastern Sang Kingdom."
"Troublesome?" King Dongsang laughed dismissively. "My Dongsang Kingdom has been through countless battles. What storms haven't we weathered? I don't even consider those people a threat."
The Ghost Doctor wanted to say something more, but ultimately kept quiet. He knew that the Eastern King's decision was irreversible. She could only silently pray that Qi Guze could successfully find his enemy and resolve this crisis.
Outside the palace, Qi Guze waited silently. His gaze kept drifting towards the main hall, his heart filled with mixed emotions.
He knew the road ahead would be fraught with difficulty. But with the support of the Eastern Sang Kingdom, he was confident he could find his enemies and clear his name.
Time ticked by, and the conversation inside the hall continued. Qi Guze took a deep breath and adjusted his mindset.
As he waited, Qi Guze's expression gradually hardened. He silently vowed to make those who had framed him pay the price.
Meanwhile, the conversation inside the hall was drawing to a close. The secret talks between King Dongsang and the Ghost Doctor had finally ended, and they had reached a certain consensus.
Deep within the Eastern Sang Kingdom's palace, the Ghost Doctor quietly left the majestic building, his steps light and unhurried, as if escaping a nightmare.
He arrived outside the palace and met up with Qi Guze, who was waiting there. Qi Guze stared intently at the Ghost Doctor, as if countless questions were swirling in his mind. However, the Ghost Doctor simply nodded calmly to him and then gestured for them to discuss everything outside the palace.
Qi Guze gave him a deep look, but didn't ask any further questions, silently following behind her. They passed through the palace gates and headed towards the bustling market.
The sunlight shone on them, seemingly dispelling the gloom. They walked through the bustling crowds, past the fragrant food stalls, and arrived at a quiet inn.
Xu Yuehuai and the guards, including Yan Qing, were already waiting there. Upon seeing Qi Guze and the Ghost Doctor, Xu Yuehuai immediately went to greet them, her face beaming with joy.
"You're finally back." Xu Yuehuai stepped forward and hugged Qi Guze tightly.
Her voice trembled slightly, clearly indicating that she had been worried for a long time.
Qi Guze gently patted her back and softly comforted her, "Don't worry, I haven't been hurt on the way. I have some things to tell you, let's go inside and talk."
His eyes held a hint of weariness, yet remained resolute. They entered the inn's room together. The room was simply yet warmly furnished, with a potted green plant adding a touch of life.
Qi Guze sat at the table, surrounded by the others, all eyes fixed on him, awaiting his speech. Qi Guze took a deep breath. "The King of Dongsang has lent me many men; they are helping us search for our enemies." His voice was firm and powerful, weary yet full of strength.
Xu Yuehuai, Yan Qing, and the others were stunned. They hadn't expected the King of Dongsang to support Qi Guze's actions so strongly. This undoubtedly gave them greater hope and confidence. A hint of doubt flashed in Xu Yuehuai's eyes, "Why would the King of Dongsang help us?"
Qi Guze glanced at her. "Because our goals are the same. King Dongsang wants to find those who betrayed him, while we are looking for our enemies."
Yan Qing frowned. "So what should we do now?"
Qi Guze pondered for a moment, "We need to use the King of Dongsang's men to expand our search area. At the same time, we must be careful not to alert them."
The Ghost Doctor listened silently, his eyes deep and mysterious. He knew Qi Guze was facing immense pressure and danger, and he would do his best to help them.
The atmosphere in the room became heavy. Everyone was contemplating their next move, their faces filled with determination and resolve.
Finally, Qi Guze stood up. "Let's get started now." His voice was full of strength and determination, as if a ray of light illuminated the entire room.
Immediately afterwards, Qi Guze ordered Yan Qing to take the tiger tally from Dongsang Kingdom and gather all the people Dongsang Kingdom had lent them. Then he immediately ordered those people to search for the whereabouts of the men in black.
At first, there was no trace of the men in black. After an unknown amount of time, one day, a scout brought news that he had discovered some traces of the men in black outside the city.
Qi Guze and Xu Yuehuai knew that time was of the essence, so they quickly assembled a team of elite soldiers, dressed in iron armor and wielding sharp blades, and shot towards the dense forest like an arrow.
