C77 Again Causing Trouble (1/2)

At the time of the assassination attempt, although the Great Jing and might sect Emperor was not injured, he suffered from quite a bit of fear, and as a result, became ill.

This could be said to be an illness that came as a landslide, an illness that was as good as pulling silk. After this illness, his body had never recovered.

The crown prince, who had been ill for more than twenty years, stayed by his bed all day. Not only did he not recover from his illness, he even collapsed first.

Pei Xingyun, who had originally thought that he would be free after the Huazhou Dynasty Envoys left, was frequently called to accompany Wei Zongdi to the palace. After the assassins had snuck into the palace, Wei Zongdi had often suspected that there were a large number of assassins lurking around him.

Three days after the assassination of Emperor Wei Zong, Gu Wangshu received a letter from Bai Yuanjun, in which it said that his brother Gu Wangyan had already been brought back to his hometown, the Ji Province.

In the eyes of outsiders, this was a letter written by their family. After Gu Wangshu finished reading the letter, he finally relaxed a little and burned the letter.

It was unknown whether it was because it was spring or because it was easy to be sleepy, but Gu Wangshu had become more and more drowsy recently.

The assassination of Emperor Wei Zong made him break out in a few cold sweat for Pei Xingyun, but as time passed, he was no longer as worried. The truth had proven that even if he was assassinated, Wei Zongdi still relied heavily on Pei Xingyun. Gu Wangshu was glad that Gu Wangyan's assassination did not have any negative impact on him.

As time passed, the siege of Great Jing Capital began to loosen.

In the General Mansion, Gu Wangshu and Shu Qi were competing in light techniques. With Gu Wangshu's level, naturally, he couldn't compare to Shu Qi's, so in order to be fair, the Uncle Fu had tampered with Shu Qi's acupoints, making it so that Shu Qi's strength could only be used by 2% and 30%.

At this time, Gu Wangshu and Gu Wangshu both jumped to the head of the General Mansion. Gu Wangshu looked outside and actually saw the formerly bustling streets were in complete chaos.

Before Gu Wangshu could react, Shu Qi said: ”Young Madame, I'm afraid something has happened. Let's go down.”

Gu Wangshu nodded. Speaking of which, during the year that he had been at Great Jing, his Great Jing had always been at peace, but ever since he had made friends with this Huazhou Dynasty, his Great Jing had become restless.

Could there be a problem with this Huazhou Dynasty? This thought flashed past Gu Wangshu's mind.

Shu Qi was still trying to guess what had happened on the street, when he saw Uncle Fu flying towards the two of them with an ugly expression on his face. ”General has been assassinated!”

Gu Wangshu looked at Uncle Fu and was momentarily unable to react. When he realized that the general was Pei Xingyun, he only felt his vision turn black, and after a period of dizziness, his entire body collapsed.

”Young Madame!”

”Shu!”

Shu Qi and the Uncle Fu cried out at the same time. The Uncle Fu's face carried a look of vexation: ”It's my fault, I didn't understand, even though the general was assassinated, his life was not harmed, and the assassin was also caught.”

Gu Wangshu only fainted for a moment, but immediately woke up and grabbed Uncle Fu's sleeves: ”Where is big brother, what's wrong?”

”The young master has already returned to his residence, in your room, he is injured, I have already sent people to find medicine, you and Shu Qi can go take care of the young master.”

”Alright, I'll go now.”

Gu Wangshu, who had just fallen down a moment ago, felt that he had instantly become energetic. He activated his Qing Gong, stood up and flew towards the courtyard where he and Pei Xingyun lived in.

Why was it an assassin again?

He had already received Bai Yuanjun's letter. Both his brother and Bai Yuanjun were currently in the Ji Province, so the assassins this time would definitely not be Bai Yuanjun and Gu Wangyan. Who wanted to harm Pei Xingyun?

There were quite a few armored guards standing in the courtyard where Gu Wangshu and the others were staying. Under their stunned gazes, Gu Wangshu quickly entered the room.

”Big brother …”

At this time, Pei Xingyun was sitting on the bed, bare-chested and only had a casual robe on his upper body. There was an imperial physician wearing an official's uniform bandaging his wounds.

Gu Wangshu was startled for a moment, and then his gaze landed on the bloody bandage on Pei Xingyun's shoulder.

”Shu, I'm fine, it's just a small wound. Look, my arm is still moving freely.” As he said that, he moved his left hand that was injured on his shoulder. The gauze that was originally stained with blood immediately became wet from his actions, causing Pei Xingyun to crease his eyebrows in pain. The imperial physician who was bandaging him also bellowed: ”General, before the wound is healed, please do not touch this arm.”

Gu Wangshu's heart felt astringent and sweet. He knew that Pei Xingyun just wanted to comfort him, but wouldn't that fool feel pain when that happens?

As he thought about this, his eyebrows relaxed and he covered the worry on his face. He sat on the side of the bed and asked the imperial physician who was bandaging Pei Xingyun, ”Imperial Physician, how long will it take for General Pei's injuries to heal?”

”The general has martial arts and a strong body. He can heal wounds for eight or nine days and then slowly heal them.”

nodded his head, Uncle Fu was right, Pei Xingyun's injuries were not life-threatening.

”Look, Shu. I'm not lying to you, this is really a small wound. ” The imperial guards standing at the side couldn't help but twitch their faces when they saw Pei Xingyun's appearance. It was the first time they had seen such a gentle General Pei and they suspected that they had recognized the wrong person.

However, Gu Wangshu did not pay attention to Pei Xingyun. He still asked the imperial physician what he should pay attention to while Pei Xingyun was recuperating, such as eating and resting, as well as applying the medicine.

After a while, Uncle Fu and Shu Qi returned as well. Uncle Fu gave the imperial physician a type of ointment, and when the imperial physician saw that the ointment was still there, he was extremely surprised, but when the Uncle Fu expressed that he still had more and could give him some, he was so overjoyed that he couldn't close his mouth. He immediately told Gu Wangshu and Pei Xingyun some of the details, and even said that with the medicine that the Uncle Fu brought back, Pei Xingyun's wounds would only take five or six days to heal.

By noon, Uncle Fu had prepared a sumptuous lunch for the imperial physician. Only after it was eaten did he ask Shu Qi to send the imperial physician back.

During this period, Gu Wangshu accompanied Pei Xingyun the entire time as he watched Pei Xingyun arrange for the matters to be handled solemnly and methodically with the guards under his command, until the last guard left.

”Shu, I've said so much, I'm so thirsty now. Get me some water. ”
