The palace was brightly lit, and Xu Yuehuai's figure was busy and determined. She knew that no matter what happened, she had to protect herself and the child in her womb.
At this moment, Qi Guze had already embarked on his journey to track down the mysterious organization. His heart was filled with determination and courage. He knew that regardless of victory or defeat, he had to fight for Xu Yuehuai and their future.
As night deepened, the palace lights remained bright. And on this tranquil night, a battle concerning destiny and the future was about to begin.
Qi Guze and Tie Xiong met outside the city gate of the capital, and their eyes met as if an invisible spark ignited between them.
As dawn broke above the city gate, golden sunlight shone on their faces, highlighting their resolute features.
Qi Guze wore a black robe and a jade crown, his expression solemn and cold, like a king who had been appointed to a critical mission.
Tie Xiong was dressed in a black outfit, with a long sword hanging at his waist. His eyes were sharp as an eagle's, exuding an indomitable and resolute spirit.
Qi Guze frowned slightly, his voice low and powerful: "Is the information you've gathered accurate?" His gaze was fixed on Tie Xiong, as if searching for some kind of confirmation.
Tie Xiong smiled slightly, his eyes revealing a hint of confidence: "Master, rest assured, this information was gathered by the spies I left behind." His words carried an undeniable firmness.
As the two continued their conversation, a squad of bodyguards and royal guards gradually gathered around them.
These guards, clad in uniform armor and wielding longswords, stood solemnly, forming a formidable barrier. Their arrival transformed the once tranquil city gate into a tense atmosphere, filling the air with a chilling sense of impending doom.
Qi Guze glanced at them and said, "Let's go!"
"promise--!"
The group set off in a grand procession toward a quiet town on the outskirts of the capital.
Nestled amidst mountains and shrouded in mist, the town seemed isolated from the world. They traversed winding mountain roads, the scenery gradually becoming more serene and tranquil.
Dense forests, clear streams, and ancient stone bridges... all of this evokes a sense of tranquility and peace.
However, Qi Guze and Tie Xiong had no time to appreciate the beautiful scenery. Their hearts were filled with determination and resolve, and their only thought was to track down the whereabouts of that mysterious organization.
As they drew closer to the town, an invisible sense of oppression gradually spread. The guards were on edge, ready to deal with any potential dangers.
Finally, they arrived at the center of the town. The houses were arranged in a neat and orderly fashion along the streets, which were clean and tidy with cobblestones. However, Qi Guze keenly sensed something unusual. He frowned slightly and quickly scanned his surroundings.
Tie Xiong observed the surrounding movements with a solemn expression, his long sword gripped tightly in his hand.
Just then, a series of hurried footsteps approached. Qi Guze and Tie Xiong immediately turned around alertly and saw a middle-aged man dressed in gray cloth rushing towards them.
He stopped in front of the two men, panting, and said nervously, "You've finally arrived! That mysterious organization is in the abandoned warehouse in town!"
Qi Guze and Tie Xiong exchanged a glance, a decisive glint in their eyes. They immediately waved for their guards to follow, and quickly headed towards the abandoned warehouse. As they approached, a chilling aura swept over them.
The door to the abandoned warehouse was tightly shut, as if it were hiding some unspeakable secret.
Qi Guze took a deep breath and flung open the door. A cloud of dust rushed in, making him cough a few times. However, he didn't care about that and quickly scanned the inside of the warehouse.
The dimly lit warehouse contained only some dilapidated shelves and miscellaneous items, but there was not a single person in sight.
Tie Xiong frowned and said in a low voice, "It seems they have already noticed our arrival."
Qi Guze nodded, a cold glint in his eyes: "Then we must not let them escape." He waved his hand, signaling the guards to disperse and search the entire warehouse.
As the guards continued their search, faint noises began to emanate from a corner of the warehouse. Qi Guze and Tie Xiong immediately surrounded them warily.
A man dressed in black suddenly emerged from the corner, a long sword gleaming in his hand. His eyes were filled with madness and despair as he lunged at Qi Guze and Tie Xiong.
Qi Guze and Tie Xiong reacted swiftly, engaging in a fierce battle. Swords flashed, figures clashed, and a series of crisp metallic clanging sounds echoed within the warehouse.
After a fierce battle, the man in black was finally subdued and pinned to the ground. He was panting heavily, his eyes filled with resentment and regret.
Qi Guze coldly looked down at him: "Tell me the secrets of your organization!"
...
The next day, the Ghost Doctor appeared at the palace gates. He wore a gray robe and had a faint smile on his face, as if everything was under his control.
"Your Highness, your condition has stabilized. I have urgent business to attend to and need to return to Dongsang Kingdom immediately. We'll meet again another time!"
Xu Yuehuai stepped forward, her eyes filled with gratitude: "Thank you so much for your help this time, Doctor Ghost."
The Ghost Doctor waved his hand and said calmly, "Your Highness, there's no need to be so polite. A doctor's heart is full of compassion; this is what I should do."
Xu Yuehuai took out a packet of herbs from the cabinet and handed it to the Ghost Doctor: "These are some precious herbs I prepared. Take them with you; they might come in handy in Dongsang Kingdom." Her voice was gentle yet firm, revealing her deep trust in the Ghost Doctor.
The Ghost Doctor took the herbs, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes, then smiled and said, "Your Highness is so thoughtful, then I won't stand on ceremony."
He carefully tucked the herbs into his pocket, then turned and walked towards the door.
Xiao Lian and Qi Hanlin also rushed over, their faces filled with gratitude.
With tears in her eyes, Xiao Lian said, "Master Ghost Doctor, thank you so much for curing the poison in my body, which allowed me to come back to life."
The Ghost Doctor said gently, "You must remember that life is the most precious thing, and you must cherish it."
Qi Hanlin stepped forward and presented an exquisite gift box with both hands: "Lord Ghost Doctor, this is a treasure I have kept in the palace for many years. I am presenting it to you today to express my gratitude."
The Ghost Doctor accepted the gift box and nodded slightly: "Your Majesty is very kind. I will accept it properly." He turned and walked out of the palace gate, his figure gradually disappearing into the morning mist.
Inside the palace, Xu Yuehuai, Xiaolian, and Qi Hanlin watched the Ghost Doctor depart, their hearts filled with emotion and respect.
They knew that this ghost doctor was not only highly skilled in medicine, but also had a kind heart. Their lives were extended because of him, and they would forever remember this kindness.
With the departure of the Ghost Doctor, Xu Yuehuai and the others gradually calmed down. They knew that the road ahead was still long, the whereabouts of the mysterious organization were still unknown, and they had to continue their efforts to protect this land and its people.
