Because of the Western envoys, the early uments hada large group of people anted to probe his intention, Chang Geng helped in supporting the elderly Master Feng Han out of the palace
People in the capital were in panic, there was a shortage of horse carriage Gu Yun would usually ask Huo Dan to lead a horse outside the palace to wait for hi what had delayed Huo Dan, he was nowhere to be seen
Chang Geng did not pay attention to it at first, walking side by side with the oldtheir way back
Master Feng Han spent all day long inside the Ling Shu Institute, his eye sockets had sunken in His whole body was like a radish that had been drained of water, only the pair of brightly shi+ning eyes were left
“Your Highness has the patience to accohed Master Feng Han “Do you have any news about reinforce: “The turmoil in the four frontiers has stuck the five arrison is like, you already know In recent years, the military expenditure and Ziliujin quota of each state have been reduced repeatedly They can hardly afford several Heavy Arh the Light Ar and is easy to mobilize, it is also very easily hindered Once the ene the road or intercepted by combat chariots, if the co the troops into the eneners won’t even have to put out hness trulyShu Institute hasn’t had any success in creating anything of use for several years now,” Zhang Feng Han shook his head ly “This useless immortal man could only sit and eat salary, I had intended to request the Emperor for retirement next year Unexpectedly, ere met with a national disaster, perhaps I would not be able to die of old age”
Chang Geng gently said: “Master Feng Han’s contributions would last for a thousand years, you must not belittle yourself”
“Thousand years…would there still exist Great Liang after a thousand years?” Zhang Feng Han pursed his lips “I had thought as I entered Ling Shu Institute, I will no longer need to pay attention to the outside world, dealing with fire engine and steel arworld turned out to be too crowded Even if the righteous and the villains went their oays, they would always cale with anything, the , the— even if one only wished to be the lower class with their hands stained in oil”
Chang Geng s Han was only expressing his feelings and did not want to hear his reply
At this stage, the contradiction between the ienerations was unquestionably the fuse, but it was not the radually e treasury had doo Han said: “Every day, the piers of the anti air net are being adjusted Now the foreigners only dare to drive, a large nuth in the hidden piers are still liners use ropes to ‘fly the kites’ outside the city every day I’m afraid that in a few days, the iron arrows stored in the hidden piers will become unsustainable What should we do then? Does Marshal Gu have any plan?”
In total, there are fewer than 100 Black Eagles in Northern Ca If the anti air net would fail, perhaps that would be the ti: “M Feng Hen as full of concern, hearing this, he did not knohether to laugh or cry He wondered whether he should say that Yan Bei wang was a ‘hero raised from youth’, or whether he should say that he was slow-tempered It seemed that even if the sky collapsed in front of him, the little prince would only reply with ‘I know’ as if it had nothing to do with hi Han deliberately lowered his voice and said, “Today, we did not see Cohness see that? Now there are already ruh the Emperor outwardly denounced the Western envoys, he had planned to relocate the capital”
Chang Geng smiled, but he was not at all surprised: “His Majesty will not do such a thing, we are not at our last resort yet I see the cart of Ling Shu Institute, allow me to help you up… Ah, here co over in a hurry, his expression restless, he walked to Chang Geng and said, “This old servant is late today, Your Highness please forgivewaved his hand “What had delayed Uncle Huo?”
“…” Huo Dan took a careful look at his face “The Marquis was injured by Western arrows last night I had only just heard about it in the early hness!”
In Huo Dan’s and Zhang Feng Han’s bewilder casually, suddenly had a change in his expression, turning over and juust of wind
In front of the Nine Gates, the sunpowder had not dispersed, the Western army had only withdrawn at dawn, Gu Yun was able to had a moment of rest
His armor had indented, the arrow had been pulled out Twoforceps and scissors, carefully prying his deforlued to his body
Chang Geng hurriedly rushed in, his eyes fell on Gu Yun for a moment, then could not help himself and looked away His expression was even worse than the injured man
“Ah…,” Gu Yun took in a shaky breath “I said, can you two bee did not answer, took a deep breath, dismissed the two military doctors, then stooped and carefully observed Gu Yun’s armor that was unable to be re iron forceps, holding Gu Yun’s shoulder close to him, and cut them off from the other side His h the defor onto his hand
Chang Geng’s face tightened up and for a while, he was a little out of breath He whispered, “Injured like this, why didn’t you let me know?”
Gu Yun who still had his face twisted as he endured the pain, gritted his teeth and said, “It’s nothing — what did the Western envoys say at theloads of nonsense in the Golden Palace,” Chang Geng flexed his unsteady fingers, relued to Gu Yun’s body by blood: “Said they wanted us to cease the ‘persecution and plundering’ towards the countries in the Western Regions, let the territory outside Jiayu Gate becoal syste in accordance with their country rule of law, and…”
The defor stared at Gu Yun’s wound and inhaled sharply He stood upright and slowed down for a moment
“And what…? ” Gu Yun shi+vered, his sweat dripped down “I’ you, Doctor, how co’s body was as stiff as an iron rod: “I’rabbed Gu Yun’s wine bottle and downed twodizzy and nauseous He forced hi then took one of the scissors and cut out the clothes which original color could not be seen anymore
“Thirty-six counties in the Northern Frontier, froned to the Eighteen Tribes, and the capital of Great Liang will bewill also be sent to the Eighteen Tribes as a pledge Frohteen tribes and pay tribute to thehter, she was only seven years old
Gu Yun said angrily, “Bullshit!”
As soon as he struggled, blood started to gush out Unable to hold it any roared: “Don’t move!”
The two men were relatively silent for atime, he said, “… Continue”
“In addition, they forced Li Feng to order Shen Yi to withdraw the garrison of Southern Frontiers that occupied the Southern Sea islands, divide the Eastern Sea Canal into rivers, retreat the Southern Navy inward, the outer territory and the Eastern Sea line will belong to the far east region of the Westerners” Chang Geng’s eyes were heavy, but his hands re the wound for him He paused and said, “There’s still compensation…”
Gu Yun was silent but all hiswanted to behead the envoys, theheld Gu Yun’s unhurt shoulder and said, “I will clean the wound now, yifu, shall I seal your consciousness te Geng gently advised: “I will only use a little s, you will not be sleeping long If there are changes outside the city, I will defend in your stead…”
“If you want to wash it then do it,” Gu Yun interrupted “Don’t talk nonsense”
Chang Geng looked at him and realized that it was useless to reason with this person
Just then, Tan Hong Fei ca in: “Marshal…”
Gu Yu turned around, suddenly happening to catch a strange fragrance With his guard down, he inhaled a mouthful, his whole body instantly turned soft
The Marquis of Order, wise and adept in hness would know this kind of underhanded ilist world and even use it on hi, Chang Geng quickly inserted a fine needle into his acupoint then grabbed Gu Yun’s unconscious body
Tan Hong Fei watched blankly at the door as his co at His Royal Highness ide eyes: “…”
Chang Geng ed Gu Yun and laid hian to wash his wound carefully
Tan Hong Fei’s tongue stiffened: “This…then…”
Chang Geng: “It’s okay Let hi Fei blinked a few ti was a kind and gentle scholar Later, he found out that he could fight well and was a He was filled with respect for him and wanted to become closer It was only until this moment that Commander Tan truly felt his ad Fei unconsciously reached out and touched his face The scar left by Gu Yun had not disappeared yet He thought to hi: “Ah yes, what’s theFei cahness, the Ee is behind, you see…”
During the conversation, Li Feng already ca with hi looked down at the unconscious Gu Yun and reached for his forehead: “Is Uncle alright?”
“It was only a flesh wound” Chang Geng wrapped the bandage around the injury, draped a thin silk robe over Gu Yun, and tidied up his silver needles: “It’s just that I gave him some anesthetic, he will not wake up for a while Royal Brother, please pardon hiot up and picked up Gu Yun’s Wind Slasher Without wearing ar asked, “What’s wrong?”
