After several days of sleepless journey, Zhao Yan's ship finally arrived outside Dengzhou Port. When the warship approached the port, Zhao Yan also came to the bow of the ship and looked on the shore. When the ship approached the port, he could see the situation on the dock clearly, Zhao Yan suddenly turned pale, and he felt like he was hit hard and took a few steps back, because he saw that the dock was white, and the ships in the sea and the trees and vehicles on the dock were all hung with three-foot white silks. Generally, only when the emperor passed away would this kind of mourning in the whole city appear.

"Husband! You...you must take care of your health. Song Dynasty still needs you to support you!" Cao Ying hurriedly supported Zhao Yan at this time, and then comforted her with a sad look on her face. Although she didn't have much contact with Zhao Xu, the other party was his junior after all, and she was the student she valued the most. But now she was separated by yin and yang, which made her sad.

Xu Yuan and others on the ship also showed shock and sad expressions. After the ship entered the port, Zhao Jia led his men to wait at the pier. After the ship stopped at the pier, although Zhao Yan on the ship had guessed the truth of the matter, he still felt a little afraid to give up and rushed to Zhao Jia and asked loudly: "Where is Xu'er?"

"Father, Brother Xu... Brother Xu died two days ago!" Zhao Jia also said in tears at this time. He actually wanted to pounce on Zhao Yan's arms and cry, but now his identity is very different, so sometimes he should pay attention to his words and deeds.

Zhao Yan, who had a trace of luxury, heard his son's answer and immediately "buzzed" in his mind. Then he felt the darkness in front of him, and then the whole world began to rotate, and then he knew nothing.

No one expected that Zhao Yan would faint suddenly when he heard the news of Zhao Xu's death. At that moment, the dock and the people on the boat were in chaos. Fortunately, Xu Yuan and others were relatively calm and immediately asked someone to carry Zhao Yan to Dengzhou City for treatment. As a result, after being an imperial doctor, he told everyone that Zhao Yan was not enough to eat and sleep during this period. In addition, he fainted because of excessive grief. When he woke up, he would be fine after recuperating for a while, which made everyone relieved.

When Zhao Yan woke up, it was already the lights. Zhao Jia and others were all standing in front of his bed. When they saw him awake, everyone was relieved. However, when Zhao Yan thought of the previous news of Zhao Xu's death, he closed his eyes and sighed. Tears also slid across the corners of his eyes. Then he asked the others to go out first, leaving Zhao Jia alone, and then asked in a trembling voice: "Jia'er, was Xu'er peaceful when he passed away? Do you have any words to explain?"

"Father, I really want to see you again when I passed away, but unfortunately I couldn't hold on until you came back. This is also his biggest regret, but there are no other regrets, so I left peacefully." Zhao Jia replied in a deep voice, and tears came out again. When Zhao Xu passed away, he sat beside him. It was only two days after that, but he still couldn't accept this fact.

When Zhao Yan heard Zhao Jia's words, he also burst into tears, but soon he asked with annoyance: "The two bastards Zhao Jun and Zhao Qi, bring them to me. I want to kill them with my own hands!"

"This..." When his father asked about Zhao Jun and Zhao Qi, Zhao Jia seemed very embarrassed at this time. After a moment, he spoke, "Father Xu, before his death, he had always disagreed with the Dharma to correct Zhao Qi and the others, because he felt that the other party was always his brother. Although they could be unkind, they could not be unrighteous, so..."

"No!" Before Zhao Jia finished speaking, Zhao Yan interrupted again with annoyance, "Xu'er is good at everything, but she is too unwilling to let go of family affection. This is his advantage and disadvantage. Zhao Qi and others are unforgivable for crimes of rebellion. They must be punished with the right canon. They must not be let go of them because of their temporary kindness. Otherwise, more people will rebel in the future?"

Zhao Yan is a person with clear public and private affairs, and he was also angry at this time. He refused to let go of the brothers Zhao Yi and Zhao Jun. Even Zhao Yan, who was indirectly involved in the rebellion, hated Zhao Hao, very much, so this time he really wanted to kill.

Seeing that his father insisted on killing Zhao Qi and others, Zhao Jia smiled bitterly and explained again: "Father, it's still Brother Xu who knows you. He knows that you will definitely not let Zhao Qi and the others go after you come back, so before that, the charges of these people have been given. I'm afraid it's not good if you want to change it now, right?"

"What's wrong with this? Treason is a death sentence. If Xu'er acquits them, would he let them go so gently?" Zhao Yan said unyieldingly. Generally speaking, he was reluctant to kill people. Except for Aguda and his son, he had hardly killed anyone, but now he wanted to kill Zhao Qi and others himself. After all, it was them who killed Zhao Xu, who he regarded as a parent-child. People who had never experienced the pain of losing their son could not understand it.

"This..." Zhao Jia was speechless when she heard this, but he quickly smiled bitterly again, "Father, I'm afraid it's difficult for you to convict Zhao Qi and the others again, because Xu Di had previously set the sentence of exile for them, and only Xu Di knew the place where the exile was. Now Zhao Qi and the others have been escorted away, and I don't know where they go?"

At the end of the day, Zhao Jia spread her hands and showed an incomfortable expression. This was Zhao Xu's last method to save the lives of the two brothers. Anyway, as long as Zhao Qi and the others were exiled to far away, Zhao Yan would never see them in his life, so Zhao Qi and the others would naturally be safe.

"What?" Zhao Yan was stunned at first when he heard this, but then he said to Zhao Jia with some doubts, "You really don't know where Zhao Qi and the others were exiled?"

"I really don't know. This matter was arranged by Xudi, and he chose the people, but it is definitely not in the Song Dynasty, and it may even be particularly far from the Song Dynasty." Zhao Jia explained again, but this time he lied. In fact, he knew the exile place of Zhao Qi and others, but he promised Zhao Xu that he would not tell his father no matter what.

Looking at his son's innocent expression, Zhao Yan still felt a little unbelievable, but Zhao Jia soon said, "Father, I know you are very angry, but Brother Xu is the son of his uncle, and Zhao Qi and Zhao Jun are also the sons of his uncle. If you really kill them with your own hands, even if they have unforgivable crimes, will you feel good?" (To be continued.)
