Chapter 268: I want to see him alive or his body dead
This swamp forest appeared in her dreams.
Ye Hanyi frowned.
Could my cousin be in there?
A secret guard with the best Qinggong skills stepped forward and said, "I'll go explore the way."
He tapped his toes lightly and jumped up. After a few takeoffs and landings, he flew deep into the swamp forest.
Before he could get a glimpse of what was going on, several sharp arrows flew out of the air. Fortunately, the secret guard dodged in time and managed to escape.
But his body was already unstable and he almost fell into the swamp.
At this moment, another secret guard flew forward in time and pulled him up, and he landed safely.
This unexpected change made everyone feel awe-inspired, but also lifted their spirits.
There really is someone inside!
Ye Hanyi and Lu Zhiran looked at each other and saw excitement in each other's eyes.
The person inside is most likely Xiao Yanci!
Ye Hanyi couldn't hold back any longer and shouted, "Cousin, I'm Hanyi. Are you in there? We're here to save you."
She was afraid of attracting the enemy, so she didn't dare shout too loudly.
I shouted once, but there was no response from inside.
Lu Zhiran spoke in a deep voice, "Your Highness Prince Jin, I, Lu Zhiran, am here to rescue you on the orders of the Emperor. If this is really you, please give your instructions."
It was still quiet inside.
Just when they thought the other party would not respond, there was a rustling sound from the reeds deep in the swamp forest.
…
At this time, in Xiping City.
After experiencing several major battles in succession, the people of Xiping City were severely injured.
Fortunately, the foreign enemies have retreated and the people have rekindled their hope.
Recently, medicine has been distributed in the city. This time, the medicine is more effective than ever before. After drinking it for three days, everyone's cough, palpitations and shortness of breath have greatly improved. Those with mild symptoms have already recovered.
But there are also people who are terminally ill and cannot be cured even after taking a few doses of medicine.
If they had not delayed so long, their lives would not have been lost in vain.
Old Doctor Jiang held up a prescription and shook his head regretfully.
Nan Sheng arrived here early and provided medical advice and prescribed medicine.
At that time, the epidemic was not serious. If the treatment had continued according to this prescription, the epidemic could have been nipped in the bud.
Unfortunately, Nan Sheng got into trouble and her whereabouts are unknown, thus disrupting the originally good situation.
The epidemic dragged on again and again, and countless people were exhausted. In the end, only the red shadow vine could be added to cure it.
It is precisely because of the desire to collect enough red shadow vines that His Royal Highness Prince Jin's whereabouts remain unknown to this day.
Old Doctor Jiang sighed deeply.
He risked his old bones to come here, endured the heat, and ran around to treat the epidemic, all in the hope of making some contribution and finding a glimmer of hope for the future of the Jiang family.
If these sons were useful, the anger in his heart would have dissipated long ago.
"It would be great if Nan Sheng was here."
Thinking of his extremely gifted grandson, Old Doctor Jiang felt a sharp pain in his heart.
Out of the corner of his eye, he saw a familiar face.
He was startled and when he wanted to take a closer look, the face had disappeared.
Old Doctor Jiang tried hard to search among the crowd, but he didn't see the man anymore.
Is he dazzled?
Just now I actually thought I saw Nan Sheng.
He shook his head, a look of deep disappointment appearing on his old face.
It must be because I missed him too much that I made a mistake.
In the commander's camp, Gu Qishan, wearing a casual robe, was sitting by the bed wiping his sword.
He was tall and burly, with shoulders as broad as if he could carry a tripod, arms full of muscles, a pair of tiger eyes as sharp as knives, and an aura that was terrifying and captivating.
But only he himself knew that his body was no longer as good as before. The last poisoning had damaged his foundation. Even the big knife in his hand, he could not wield it as freely and easily as before.
If King Jin had not sent someone to fetch the Yama Smile in time, he would have gone down to see King Yama long ago.
Right now, the remaining poison in his body has not been cleared, so he cannot use his internal energy.
Last time, Qiang Di made a comeback and allied with Xirong. Xiping City was in danger. As soon as he woke up, he put on armor and went to the front to meet the enemy, which greatly inspired his fighting spirit.
But his rash use of his internal energy made his injuries, which had just begun to improve, even worse.
Now, he can only recuperate in the tent.
He thought of his old friend, and an irrepressible wave of emotion surged in his heart.
She sent Yan Luoxiao here, but she failed to protect her son.
It has been nearly a month since Prince Jin disappeared. Waves of troops have been sent out, but no good news has been brought back.
If she knew, how anxious would she be?
Just as I was thinking about it, footsteps were heard outside the tent.
"Godfather, are you there?"
Gu Qishan kept wiping the broadsword and spoke in a calm voice.
"Enter."
A man in armor walked in. He was also very tall, but he was still a head shorter than Gu Qishan, and his aura was suppressed.
He is Gu Qishan’s adopted son, Gu Zhaolin.
Gu Qishan never married in his life, so naturally he had no children.
Gu Zhaolin's father was originally Gu Qishan's bodyguard, but died while trying to save him. Gu Qishan then adopted Gu Zhaolin and kept him by his side over the years, cultivating him carefully.
Gu Zhaolin bowed respectfully to Gu Qishan and said, "Foster father, are you feeling better?"
Gu Qishan nodded calmly, "Much better. Any news from Xu Bai?"
Gu Zhaolin shook his head, "Not yet. Godfather, don't worry. His Highness Prince Jin is blessed with great fortune. Xu Bai will surely be able to find him successfully."
Ge Xubai is the lieutenant general of the Zhenxi Army and the only direct disciple of Gu Qishan, and is highly regarded.
Even Gu Zhaolin, the adopted son, was sometimes ranked behind Ge Xubai.
Ge Xubai is so much like Gu Qishan in every aspect.
He possesses the same strong physique as Gu Qishan, and his talent in martial arts is also extraordinary. With just a little guidance from Gu Qishan, he can use it with ease, and even surpass his master.
When Gu Qishan saw him, it was as if he saw his younger self, and naturally he couldn't suppress his admiration for his talent.
The task of finding Xiao Yanci was very difficult, so Gu Qishan did not give it to Gu Zhaolin, but to Ge Xubai.
A layer of worry hung over Gu Qishan's brows.
A very bad premonition came to his mind, but he forced it down.
If he is alive, I want to see him in person; if he is dead, I want to see his body.
No matter what, he had to give that person an explanation.
Gu Zhaolin spoke to comfort him again, and Gu Qishan waved his hand tiredly and let him leave.
The moment he turned around, the worry on Gu Zhaolin's face faded away, replaced by a hint of gloom.
My adoptive father's heart has been crooked.
In his heart, I am no longer as good as before.
Gu Qishan looked at his adopted son's back as he left, and a hint of gloom appeared in his eyes.
He had high hopes for this adopted son, but his talent in both martial arts and military tactics was mediocre.
Disappointed, Gu Qishan adjusted his goal and only trained him to be the general who defended the city.
But unexpectedly, he actually felt dissatisfied with himself, and even...
I am afraid that my poisoning this time is also closely related to him.
Gu Qishan just had suspicions, but had no evidence.
I just hope that I am overthinking it.
He didn't want the father-son relationship that had lasted for so many years to be wiped out.
