"I'm not your highness!" He Qizhou was unwilling and even a little afraid to accept this fact, but he also didn't want to be captured again and followed Yan Wuji into the woods.
"He is the previous leader of the Fire Hall, and the princess was killed by his leadership!" Yan Wuji said with hatred.
After Yan Wuji entered the forest, he quickly buried the old man's body under the thick leaves, and then walked to He Qizhou. Regardless of what He Qizhou felt, he immediately used his palm to help him force out the stagnant Qi in his body.
He said: "Your Highness, it is not suitable to stay here for a long time. There are so many traces of fighting that I cannot cover up for a while. We will leave as soon as you recover a little."
He Qizhou was almost in a state of collapse, and his heart was like a galloping horse, and he was in a mess. He could not reject the other party's kindness for a while, so he could only calm down, suppress the infuriating energy in his body that was about to get out of control, and wait until it was safe to go to the hospital again.
The other party inquired and felt doubtful.
"Princess has been a great favor to me. I cannot protect your family well only because of my incompetence. You look exactly like the princess. It's great to be alive! But Your Majesty can't tolerate you. After you recover from your injuries, you'll still be with me.
Lu Baogen, please return to Southern Qi." Yan Wuji said excitedly while healing He Qizhou's injuries.
"Thank you - thank you. There is the sound of horse hooves. I have no problem for the time being. Let's change places first!" He Qizhou hesitated for a moment, but still thanked the other party. If he arrived a little later, his potential would be exhausted.
Even if you are alive by then, you will most likely be severely damaged beyond recovery.
"As expected of the princess!" Yan Wuji couldn't help but praise when he saw He Qizhou suppressing his injuries so quickly. He stood up and pulled He Qizhou and quickly ran towards the south of the forest. After running seven or eight miles, they ended up in a small village.
The man stopped outside, Yan Wuji couldn't help but continue to draw out his true energy for He Qizhou.
"Master Yan, can you tell me how the princess died? Why are you so sure that I must be her son?" He Qizhou couldn't help but ask.
"Child, haven't you noticed that you look very similar to someone from the Helian royal family? The dagger in your hand is called 'Frost Blade', and the dagger 'Bingfeng' kept by the emperor is a pair of royal sacred objects.
Leave it to your Majesty and your mother! And that jade pendant, should it be given by you, right? That ancient Wei jade was the late emperor's favorite thing. After it was given to your mother, it became her favorite, but this
Both of them appear around you now, what do they mean?"
Yan Wuji continued: "Twenty years ago, no, it should be nineteen years ago, you were born in Mingyue Palace, your mother secretly married He Qingshan, and then secretly gave birth to you.
At that time, the late emperor passed away suddenly. Today, His Majesty has won battles and is in control of the military. It is at the height of his power that he proclaimed himself emperor before he returned to the capital. And your mother has in her hand the late emperor's edict proclaiming Helian Chenwu as emperor.
, because she was worried that the situation would get out of control and wanted to find an opportunity for Helian Qingfeng to make her younger brother Chenwu the heir apparent, so she acquiesced that her brother would be the emperor.
Your Majesty agreed at first, but later he accidentally discovered that the princess secretly surrendered to He Qingshan, Yang Zheng, and gave birth to you, so he used this as an excuse to seize the imperial edict and no longer appoint his younger brother as his heir. At this critical moment, your parents
Let Yang Zheng, who has recovered from his injuries, take you back to Qi..."
"Then who is my adoptive mother He Lian? Why didn't He Qingshan accompany my adoptive father to Qi State?" He Qizhou asked.
"He Lian? The person who accompanied Yang Zheng back was the princess's maid. I don't remember her name. The princess originally wanted He Qingshan to accompany you back to Qi State, but He Qingshan finally decided to stay and wanted to help
The princess won the court. Your mother had a very high reputation in the court at that time. With her help, Helian Chenwu could compete with his brother!
Helian Qingfeng couldn't help but kill him first, spreading the news that the princess was having an affair with an enemy general, while sending troops to kill him. The princess quickly got the news and immediately fled to Tokyo with Chenwu, which was Helian Chenwu's fiefdom.
Also fleeing together were many important ministers and generals, including the leader of the Tianlong Sect.
But Helian Qingfeng had more troops after all, so he immediately mobilized his army to pursue him. Seeing that the fleeing team was about to be trapped, your mother resolutely discouraged the pursuers alone, buying time for Helian Chenwu to escape. After Helian Chenwu escaped from danger, what did Helian Chenwu do?
The important ministers who agreed with the late emperor's edict helped him and have been fighting against Helian Qingfeng until now."
"Why did you kill the princess if you were blocking her alone?" He Qizhou asked.
"She is your mother!" Yan Wuji shook his head and said, "Actually, she is not alone. I heard that your father was standing behind her at that time. Your mother really blocked the army! No one dared to pass in front of her!
Helian Qingfeng's eyes turned red and she gave the order. She heard that she and He Qingshan joined forces to fight against the enemy and killed more than 200 Huotang masters until only a few dozen were left. In the end, they died of exhaustion.
When He Qingshan was arrested, he was no different from a useless person."
"Isn't the princess very kind to you? Where are you? I think you respect the current majesty." He Qizhou seemed to have a hard time changing his name to the princess and said to Yan Wuji angrily.
"At that time, the princess still left a lot of people in the capital. I was one of them. Because I was from Mutang, I didn't follow the army. If I were here, I would definitely risk my life! Speaking of which, I really owe you and your family.
In fact, I didn't want to get involved in the royal dispute. After the princess died, I didn't care who became the emperor. I just wanted to take care of He Qingshan and give the princess an explanation. Yang Zheng and Lu Baogen were almost trapped to death, and it was He Qingshan who begged me.
Help. Your Highness, when you go back, just be a free man and stop worrying about worldly things." Yan Wuji advised.
Seeing that what he said was sincere, He Qizhou softened in his heart and said: "Master Yan, I'm sorry, thank you for your life-saving grace. He Qingshan..."
"Your father really risked his life to save you! I don't know if he can survive this time. I have to go back and see him. Go to the village and steal some clothes. After entering the city, go to the 'Meng Zhou' next to the wooden hall.
Liquor, after finding Lu Baogen, hurry back to Qi State."
"Is he really in Qingcheng?" He Qizhou asked.
"I've been running here often over the years. In order to rescue He Qingshan and assassinate Helian Qingfeng, he bought a wine shop to hide his identity, but in terms of martial arts, he can't compare to Helian Qingfeng; and He Qingshan is surrounded by eight masters all year round.
If the Yulin Guards can arrive quickly, even if Yang Zheng comes, it won't be possible, not to mention that your father can't live without that secret poison, so it's just in vain for him to stay here."
"No! My foster father can fight against eighteen masters alone, how could he not be able to defeat eight?" He Qizhou shouted.
"Are you referring to the assassination of Yang Zheng? Real masters have their own agendas and are waiting for others to take action first! Yang Zheng is also a human being, not a god! If he is in the same situation as He Qingshan, he can only fight against five or six people at most.
, only slightly stronger than Helian Qingfeng."
"Do you know who escaped from the Northern Zhou Dynasty? Who in Qi State did they collude with?" He Qizhou asked.
Yan Wuji shook his head and said: "I don't know. Do you want to avenge Yang Zheng? He is just your foster father. You are half of the Helian family. Why bother to persist in this matter? Besides, those who dare to assassinate Yang Zheng,
Where can you deal with it?"
He Qizhou was stunned by what the other party said. Yes, Yang Zheng is a hero of Qi State, but he is the son of a traitor of Qi State, and the son of a princess of Qi State. Even his adopted mother is a Zhou native, so what reason is there to go?
What about avenging Yang Zheng? If he avenges him because he is He Qingshan’s brother, then shouldn’t he avenge the princess and He Qingshan?
"Your Highness, let's go quickly! We will enter the city as soon as dawn! They will definitely not go back so soon." Yan Wuji urged He Qizhou, who was a little stunned.
"Okay, Hall Master Yan, no, Uncle Yan, will you be okay? Will they suspect you? He Qingshan will leave it to you. I will come to see him if I have the chance."
"Okay! Don't worry about me, take care of yourself." Yan Wuji saw that the true energy in He Qizhou's body had become smooth, he put his hands away and stood up, disappearing into the night in the blink of an eye.
He Qizhou's mind was still in chaos, and he didn't want to think about his life experience anymore. He sneaked into the village quietly, stole a robe from a wealthy family, then found the right direction and ran to Qingcheng. At dawn, in
There was a line of incense sticks lined up outside the city. Following the vegetable vendors and villagers, they entered the city and went straight to the "Mengzhou" restaurant near the wooden hall. However, they arrived too early and the door of the restaurant was closed. After taking pictures for a long time, they finally got there.
I saw a waiter rubbing his sleepy eyes, swearing and removing a door panel, sticking his head out and saying angrily: "Which bastard is knocking on the door so early?"
"From Tutang! Is your boss here?" He Qizhou asked sharply. Running all night, he gradually remembered someone who might be an accomplice of the 'bastard general'. Now he was even more anxious to return to Qi State as soon as possible to crack the other party's conspiracy.
.
"The Evil God"
"He's sleeping, sir. Why don't you wait a moment..." the boy said tremblingly.
"Take me to see him quickly!" He Qizhou couldn't wait any longer.
The waiter had no choice but to lead He Qizhou into the wine shop, passed through a small courtyard through the back door, then patted the door of the inner room and shouted: "Old shopkeeper, there are Tutang officials looking for you!"
"I'm coming."
It was Lu Baogen's voice that came out of the house. How could He Qizhou care so much? With a strong shake, the door latch snapped. Lu Baogen was dressing on the bed. When he saw He Qizhou breaking in, he was stunned.
Tears burst into tears.
"Go away, I want to question you alone." He Qizhou waved the boy behind him.
"Yes, yes." The boy immediately retreated and looked outside the courtyard from a distance, really worried that something would happen to the old shopkeeper.
"Sure enough, you are still alive. Come, let me see. If you are really dead, how can I be worthy of my junior brother!" Lu Baogen suddenly laughed again. With one button untied, he called He Qizhou to check his pulse.
"Master, I'm fine. We have to leave the city as soon as possible. Let's talk about anything on the way." He Qizhou said anxiously.
