In the Jingxin Hall in the inner city, Zhao Guangyi's temporary palace, Yuan Xiu stared at Zhao Guangyi with his eyes closed in tears, and kept calling in a low voice: "Father, father, wake up!"
Several imperial doctors on the ground looked at each other in embarrassment. An old imperial doctor said: "Prince, the arrow wound on His Majesty's back has recurred now, and he has a hidden heart disease, so he can no longer stimulate him. Please stop screaming. Let's
Let him rest for a while!"
Yuan Xiu wiped away his tears and said: "You quack doctors, you are supported by fine clothes and food, but at the critical moment, it is of no use at all! Why does my father have a secret heart?"
A white-bearded imperial doctor said: "Your Majesty's heart vessels are disordered and the yin fire is too strong. It's just that the heart orifices are blocked and there is no pain, so he fainted. I have just given your Majesty the medicine. I will observe him for one night and wait until tomorrow."
"
Yuan Xiu's face turned livid and he couldn't help scolding: "Now the Khitan army is approaching the city. How can my father be sick at this time? What if he can't wake up tomorrow?"
The imperial doctor whispered: "If he still can't wake up tomorrow, I will try to find a way to treat him..."
"Fuck you!" Yuan Xiu was furious. He grabbed a candle and threw it at the old man's head. "Are you thinking of a way to cure me tomorrow? If you delay your father's condition, I will kill you."
Nine tribes!”
The imperial doctor was so frightened that he kowtowed repeatedly and said, "Your Majesty, please calm down! His Majesty is extremely weak now, and I don't dare to prescribe medicine indiscriminately! Please be careful!"
Yuan Xiu calmed down his anger a little and said in a vicious voice: "None of you are allowed to leave tonight, you are all waiting outside!" Then he waved his hands and said distractedly, "You all get out of here!"
That night, Yuan Xiu stayed in the Jingxin Hall, leaning on the corner of the bed, sometimes falling asleep and sometimes waking up, until dawn broke in the east, and when a trace of white fish belly appeared, Zhao Guangyi suddenly woke up with a loud noise, his wide eyes shimmering, clear and clear.
He spat out a string of words clearly: "Golden stick of dragon, golden armor of phoenix wings, dragon scale..."
Yuan Xiu woke up suddenly. When he saw Zhao Guangyi opening his eyes, he immediately knelt down and rushed towards him, saying eagerly: "Father, you finally woke up..."
Zhao Guangyi did not answer, his eyes were looking straight at the roof, but his expression became more and more agitated. The hand holding the quilt trembled sharply, and his lips kept moving, as if he was murmuring. Yuan Xiu asked: "Father
Emperor, how do you feel?"
After a long time, Zhao Guangyi slowly said: "Dechang, my father is approaching the end of the lantern. I have a few words to say to you. You should listen carefully."
Yuan Xiu said anxiously: "Father, you are the True Dragon Emperor, you will live forever, you will live forever!"
"Those are just lies to deceive oneself and others. Who can live a long life? Wouldn't that make him an old goblin?" Zhao Guangyi sighed slightly and said, "Dechang, now the Khitan army is approaching the city and is surrounded by dangers. Our army of the Song Dynasty is obviously unbeatable now.
Khitan, even if the crisis in Yingzhou is solved today, it is not a long-term solution. You must find a way to make the two families stop fighting. As long as we are in peace with each other and protect our country and the country, I will die in peace!"
At this point, he suddenly coughed dryly, and his breath was blocked in his throat, and his face turned black and blue. Yuan Xiu hurriedly stroked his chest, and he was already sobbing. Zhao Guangyi breathed for a moment, and then said: "What the hell is that young man doing?"
You must find out what his origin is! I think his appearance is very similar to that of your second uncle as a young man. Could it be that he is his posthumous son? But looking at his age, it is obviously inconsistent. Could it be that he is really the reincarnation of your second uncle?
Reincarnation?"
Yuan Xiu said sadly: "Father, I don't believe in reincarnation. What is Ren Jinlong's life experience? I will definitely find a way to find out in the future! Don't worry!"
Zhao Guangyi said again: "This young man has great magic power. It would be best if he could really be used by our Song Dynasty. If he can't... Yuan Xiu, you must get rid of him, you know?" At this time, his eyes brightened in vain.
However, his voice became hoarse. The right hand that was holding Yuan Xiu tightly suddenly loosened and fell to the quilt. The last words came out of his mouth, "Ren Jinlong, the golden stick of the dragon, the golden armor of the phoenix wings, dragon scales..."
Then his eyes closed and he slowly stopped breathing.
Yuan Xiu stayed for a moment, and then shouted loudly: "Father, father--" Tears rushed down like a flood that broke the embankment. He picked up Zhao Guangyi's body and shook it desperately. After crying for a long time, he looked at his face again.
, I saw that his eyes were closed tightly, his lips were blue, and he was still breathing at all?
After crying for a long time, he wiped away his tears and shouted outside: "Someone, come quickly!"
As soon as the shouting stopped, the guards and imperial doctors who had already heard the noise outside immediately walked into the house. Yuan Xiu held Zhao Guangyi in his arms and said without looking back: "Pull these quack doctors out and chop them down!"
The guards were stunned. The imperial doctors were so frightened that their faces turned pale. They pecked rice and kowtowed, begging for mercy. Yuan Xiu said angrily: "Didn't you hear what I said? Put these liars who claim to be miracle doctors to death."
Pull them out and chop them!" The guards came to their senses. Without any explanation, they held down several imperial doctors and pulled them outside. Not long after, they heard a few screams, and then there was no sound. A guard walked in.
He came to the palace and knelt down: "Prince, those quack doctors have already killed me."
Yuan Xiu nodded and said tiredly: "Your Majesty is asleep, you don't want this matter to be publicized! Now go and ask the marshal to come over, I have something important to see him!"
The guard said yes, and then asked: "Prince, how should we deal with that Lu Qinglin?"
Yuan Xiu was startled, waved his hand casually and said: "What do you think should be done with the people who disturb the holy driver? Let's chop them down together!"
The guard nodded and accepted the order, then quickly walked out of the Jingxin Hall.
At this time, dawn had just broken and the light was getting darker. Ren Jinlong and Zhao Meng were resting in the side hall of the Marshal's Mansion. After Zhao Meng was bandaged and put on the bed, he was exhausted and fell on the bed and soon started snoring like thunder. Ren Jinlong
But he was not sleepy. He took off his golden armor and leaned on the bedside, feeling at a loss in his heart. He was thinking about the green goose, and wanted to find the yellow cedar girl as soon as possible and retrieve the Bohai Hidden Sky Mirror. But he didn't know what to do.
Where to look for it, until it was deep in the middle of the night, I fell asleep in a daze.
I slept until the sky became bright, and suddenly I opened my eyes. My heart was pounding for no reason. I couldn't help but sit up and stared out the window. After a while, I went out with a big stick and stood in the courtyard, looking up.
The sky stood quietly. The breeze came from time to time, but it smelled slightly of blood.
In the Jingxin Hall, Prince Yuan Xiu and Marshal Li Jixuan were sitting opposite each other. Both of them were frowning and sighing. Li Jixuan sighed and said: "His Majesty Long Wu, throughout his life, never expected that he would die in Yingzhou City. This matter is what I feel the most
It’s better not to show off in public, so as not to shake the morale of the army and give Brother Yelvxiu an opportunity to take advantage of it.”
Yuan Xiu said: "I think so too. Now I can only keep it secret. Send people to Bianjing quickly to summon the civil and military ministers to Yingzhou. In addition, mobilize more troops and horses from various places. The siege of Yingzhou must be completed as soon as possible.
solve!"
Li Jixuan looked troubled: "Prince, you don't know something. Our troops are not very strong now. Wang Xiaobo and Li Shun in Qingcheng County, Sichuan Province rebelled. Wang Jien took away hundreds of thousands of troops. Although the rebels have been destroyed,
But they occupied Shu and refused to return to Beijing. In addition, in order to prevent the invasion of Xixia, more than 80,000 troops were invested at the border. In addition, the total number of troops guarding the city defenses and Bianjing in various places did not exceed 100,000. Now there are no more troops.
Adjusted!"
Yuan Xiu said: "Aren't there still 100,000 people guarding the city in various places? Just transfer them to Yingzhou!"
Li Jixuan smiled bitterly and said: "Your Highness, if all these troops are mobilized, the city defenses everywhere will be empty. If another Wang Xiaobo or Li Shun appears, what should we do?"
Yuan Xiu said angrily: "Then what do you think we should do? How should we solve the siege of Yingzhou now?"
Li Jixuan suddenly said: "There are still 80,000 soldiers in Shouzhou, Henan Province who are confronting Xiao Dalin. The leader of this army is Gao Junbao. Do you know, Your Highness?"
Yuan Xiu was stunned and murmured: "Yes, how could I forget him? If he can come to Yingzhou, he will definitely solve the siege of Yingzhou!"
Li Jixuan laughed and said: "That Lord Gao has extraordinary strength and unparalleled martial arts. In our country of Song Dynasty, I'm afraid we won't be able to find another person as brave as him. What's more, he is still your cousin, and he will definitely do his best.
Serve the Song Dynasty with all your strength!"
Yuan Xiu said: "Marshal, please quickly repair the book and send someone to ask him to relieve the siege of Yingzhou!"
But Li Jixuan shook his head again and said awkwardly: "It's just that he is still in Shouzhou. I wonder what the war with Xiao Dalin is like there? If we can't get away, wouldn't our joy be in vain?"
Yuan Xiu said anxiously: "This is not the case, and that is not the case either. What should we do?"
Li Jixuan pondered for a moment, and suddenly his eyes focused: "Prince, what is the origin of that golden dragon? I saw that he was wearing a golden helmet with phoenix wings and dragon scales, holding a golden dragon stick in his hand, and he was dressed like an emperor...
"..." At this point, he stopped talking and did not dare to say any more.
Yuan Xiu said: "Ren Jinlong is a young man I met accidentally. He is full of abilities. If he can really be used by our Song Dynasty, it would be the best. However, he will be an anomaly in the end!"
Li Jixuan wondered: "Why does the prince say that?"
Yuan Xiu said: "This Jinlong's life experience is very strange. Even my father almost mistook him. Marshal Li, don't you think he looks like the same person?"
Li Jixuan sucked in a breath of cold air, thought carefully for a moment, and suddenly opened his mouth: "Prince, are you saying that Ren Jinlong looks like Grandpa Taizu?"
Yuan Xiu said: "Don't you think he looks like him?"
Li Jixuan said in shock: "When you said that, I suddenly woke up. No wonder I kept looking at him and he looked familiar. It turned out to be Grandpa Taizu! What the hell is going on here?"
Yuan Xiu said: "Father said that he is the reincarnation of Grandfather Taizu. Do you think this is credible?"
Li Jixuan hesitated for a moment and said slowly: "Prince, what do you think?"
Yuan Xiu sighed: "I have no idea now, I'm afraid that Ren Jinlong will leave us sooner or later!"
Li Jixuan suddenly remembered something and said hurriedly: "Your Highness, when I came in just now, I saw Lu Qinglin tied up outside. Are you going to kill him?"
Yuan Xiu said angrily: "He disobeyed me and disturbed the Holy Master. Of course I will kill him!"
Li Jixuan said: "This Lu Qinglin is the captain of the guard of the Chongdao. It seems inappropriate to kill Lu Qinglin without just calling him out, right? In addition, in the city just now, he tried his best to protect Ren Jinlong, so he must be acquainted with him. , if he is really killed, I’m afraid it will be difficult to explain to Ren Jinlong once he asks!"
Yuan Xiu was stunned for a moment, and now his mind gradually calmed down. After his reminder, he felt that it was inappropriate to kill Lu Qinglin, so he loudly said to the outside: "Guards, can Lu Qinglin be killed?"
A guard walked up to the hall quickly and said: "Go back to the Crown Prince, I haven't beheaded you yet, I'm waiting for your words!"
Yuan Xiu said: "Don't kill him yet, the commander and I have something to ask him!" Then he got up and rushed outside the palace.
Outside the Jingxin Hall, Lu Qinglin was tied to a pillar with five-flowered buns, his hair falling down, covering his cheeks. He lowered his head and said nothing. Yuan Xiu and Li Jixuan walked up to him and stared at him silently for a while. Yuan Xiu He then said: "Lu Qinglin, why do you want to save Ren Jinlong?"
Lu Qinglin raised his head, with no fear in his clear eyes, and said calmly: "Ren Jinlong has strong magic power and a simple and loyal man. He is an important force in our resistance to the Khitan, so we cannot kill him!"
Yuan Xiu stared at him and said, "Do you recognize Ren Jinlong?"
