Qi Guze had instructed his men to stand guard nearby and not to let them in unless they were called.
Qi Guze is now lying unconscious on his bed, and no one around him knows.
As dawn broke, the guards who had gone to find Tie Xiong and the others returned.
They carried Tie Xiong, who was covered in blood, on their backs, but apart from Tie Xiong, no one else was brought back!
"Where are the others? Why is it only Tie Xiong?"
Qi Guze and the other guards went to inquire about the safety of the hidden guards. They were all brothers who had been together for so many years and were particularly concerned about the safety of the others.
The hidden guard shook his head in disappointment and said to the visible guards, "We have already searched thoroughly and found a large number of corpses around here. Their bodies were all mutilated, leaving only a trail of blood, which shows that some people have left alive."
"We searched all the bodies of our brothers and found no trace of Tie Xiong. We then guessed that the one who left was Tie Xiong. We followed the blood trail for a long time and finally found Tie Xiong, who was seriously injured!"
When Tiexiong realized he was still alive, he quickly crawled on the ground to find a safe place.
He had used up all his strength and finally collapsed in a patch of grass.
Fortunately, Qi Guze's bodyguards were not to be underestimated. Relying on their experience, they searched for a long time and finally found the seriously injured Tie Xiong and rescued him.
"As for the other brothers, they all sacrificed themselves!"
As these guards spoke, they lowered their heads, all deeply saddened, never imagining that all their comrades of many years had died.
They were all exceptionally skilled bodyguards, having undergone rigorous training and selection before finally coming to serve as Qi Guze's bodyguards.
But now, after such an ambush and assassination, so many people have been lost!
Even Tie Xiong was seriously injured, and it's unknown whether he can recover to his previous peak condition.
If Tie Xiong's injuries cannot be healed, he will no longer be able to comfort Qi Guze. He may only be able to become a guard or live the life of an ordinary person.
The guards around Qi Guze were all very saddened, but there was nothing they could do now. All they could do was take their fallen brothers back to their hometowns and give them a proper burial.
When the time comes to catch the murderers who killed them, we will tear them all to pieces and make them pay with their lives!
"I'll go tell the Prince right now!" Pei Xuan comforted and reassured those who went to rescue the guards, then went upstairs to find Qi Guze to explain the situation.
He walked quickly to Qi Guze's bedroom door and then knocked on the door with his fingers.
After knocking for a long time, no sound came from inside.
Pei Xuan suddenly had a bad feeling; perhaps something had happened to Qi Guze!
He hurriedly called out to Qi Guze a few more times, but received no response!
So Pei Xuan mustered his courage and kicked the door open!
When the door was kicked open, Pei Xuan saw Qi Guze lying on the bed, his body slumped over, wearing only a thin undergarment. His face was unusually flushed, as if he had a fever and was sick.
Pei Xuan hurriedly went forward to check on Qi Guze's condition. He reached out and touched Qi Guze's forehead, feeling a burning heat in his hand.
"Something terrible has happened! The Prince has fainted!"
"Quickly, fetch a doctor to treat the prince!"
Upon hearing this, Duan Nian, who was downstairs, hurriedly went to find a doctor to examine Qi Guze.
An elderly doctor was grabbed by the back of his neck by Duan Nian, his body suspended in mid-air, and was quickly dragged over.
His heart nearly jumped out of his chest, and his face turned pale.
"Who are you? Put me down at once! I am the divine physician of the Underworld Moon Kingdom!"
"This is extremely disrespectful to me! Even if you want me to save someone, I absolutely will not help you save them!"
Duan Nian didn't pay much attention to the old doctor, but instead grabbed him and threw him into Qi Guze's room.
When Pei Xuan saw that Duan Nian had brought an old doctor over, he quickly pulled the old doctor to Qi Guze's bedside.
The old doctor originally had no intention of saving Qi Guze, but when he saw Qi Guze's face, he was shocked!
"How did this person get injured? Who is he?"
The old doctor did not immediately take Qi Guze's pulse, but instead asked Pei Xuan and the others beside him.
Pei Xuan said, "Don't worry about that. Just focus on saving our master. We'll definitely repay you properly!"
The old doctor felt a little regretful that they wouldn't reveal the identity of the stunningly handsome man lying on the bed.
However, he couldn't let this person die, so he immediately took Qi Guze's pulse and treated him.
"How could he have suffered such severe injuries? His internal energy was in disarray, yet he was still able to suppress it with his willpower and persevere until this moment!"
"If it were any other ordinary person, they would probably have died from broken meridians by now!"
Pei Xuan and the others nearby were horrified as they listened to the old doctor's diagnosis.
Qi Guze is incredibly lucky! He survived even with his internal energy running wild!
That's a taboo for martial arts practitioners; if an ordinary person's internal energy were to run rampant, they wouldn't survive.
"What should we do? Doctor, he's our master! You must save him!"
Pei Xuan hurriedly spoke to the old doctor, who frowned with obvious difficulty.
Duan Nian, who was standing nearby, drew his sword and threatened the old doctor.
"If you can't save my master, you'll only face death!"
The old doctor was already in his seventies or eighties and wasn't afraid of Duan Nian's threats at all.
He smiled helplessly and then spoke to Pei Xuan and the others.
"There is a way to save him now. You need to find the red vine seed. This herb can stabilize his internal energy. Otherwise, even if I prescribe other medicines for him, he will still suffer from aftereffects once his internal energy is suppressed!"
Only by finding the red vine can Qi Guze be completely saved!
Pei Xuan, who was standing next to him, froze when he heard about the ingredient red vine.
"That's a red vine! You can't find a single one in the entire Shikoku region!"
"This is a legendary medicine, a holy remedy for healing injuries!"
They are currently in the Dark Moon Kingdom, and they don't have many capable people around them. How are they going to find the Red Vine Seed?
The old doctor shook his head, stroked his white beard, and said to Pei Xuan and the others, "As far as I know, there is a red vine in the palace of the King of the Underworld Moon!"
"You only need to go and plead with the King of the Underworld Moon Kingdom, and perhaps he will give you the Red Vine Seed!"
