Chapter 731: Scatter my ashes in His Majesty's Mausoleum
Vice General Guan saw that he had been delayed for so long, how could he not despair?
When Zhou Buyan woke up again, what he saw was Lieutenant General Guan's miserable face.
"Where have you been?"
Zhou Buyan asked immediately.
"Tianshui City, you can enter the city tomorrow." Vice General Guan put away the sad look on his face and said with a smile, "When you enter Tianshui City, you will find the road built by our Dachu. The road is easy to travel, and you will definitely be able to return to Fengshui City.
Anseong.”
"Your Majesty must have also received the news. When the time comes, His Majesty will also come and we will be able to meet up."
When Zhou Buyan heard that he had just arrived in Tianshui City, his eyes darkened and he just nodded, "Okay."
"By the way, General Zhou, there is a shadow coming."
Zhou Buyan's eyes lit up: "Let someone come in quickly."
Vice General Guan helped Zhou Buyan sit up and waited for the shadow to come before he wisely avoided it.
Shadow knelt down on one knee and saluted, but it was not the one sent by Zhou Buyan to deliver the letter before, but the one who came from Feng'an City to deliver important news.
When Zhou Buyan saw it, he immediately asked: "What happened to your majesty?"
Shadow contacted Zhou Buyan, and it took some time to find Zhou Buyan. He already knew Zhou Buyan's situation, and he felt a little embarrassed when he thought of the news he had brought.
"Say it quickly!" Zhou Buyan was afraid that something might happen to Chu Xingchen, and his expression suddenly became anxious.
Countless conjectures flashed through my mind in an instant. Is His Majesty in danger?
No, Shadow's expression is very strange. Could it be that His Majesty is pregnant?
He had nightmares before, dreaming that His Majesty was pregnant and the father of the child was Xiao Wang.
He was shocked, angry and scared, wishing to kill Xiao Wang. In addition to being jealous, he was also afraid that His Majesty's delivery would be in danger.
Zhou Buyan's mind was in confusion and his face became even more ugly.
Shadow no longer dared to hide it: "In the court, Shangshu Xiao suggested that Jun Xiao be made the emperor's wife, and many people agreed."
This news was sent by Shadow specially because Tianliu was anxious.
Of course Tianliu has always been on Zhou Buyan's side. Seeing that Zhou Buyan has not returned for more than two years and Xiao Wang is the only one in the harem, he feels anxious in his heart.
Xiao Wang was originally in charge of the harem, and there was also Xiao Shangshu in the court. He also joined the court as an official. As the God of Wealth in the court, no one dared to offend him.
It's normal for them to be supportive.
As for Zhou Buyan, he made great contributions and conquered the Kingdom of Wu, but because Zhou Muching's identity was not disclosed, he could not advertise it widely.
In addition, Zhou Buyan didn't have many connections in the court, and his generals and civil servants were not on good terms, so he was really not as good as Xiao Wang.
He was really afraid that Xiao Wang would be made the emperor's wife, so after receiving the news, he hurriedly conveyed it to Zhou Buyan, hoping that he would think of a solution.
Tianliu followed Late Winter and learned a lot about the ways of the world and the political situation, but he may have learned too much and thought too much.
Even if you violate the rules, you still have to send a message. This is also for Xiao Bing Dang's consideration. Zhou Buyan has become the emperor's wife, and Xiao Bing Dang is the real direct descendant of the palace.
Tianliu was very loyal, and his purpose was to get Zhou Buyan to come back quickly and compete for the emperor's wife.
But when he sent people out, he had no idea about Zhou Buyan's situation.
When Zhou Buyan heard the news, he coughed violently until the sky became dark.
In just a moment, his eyes turned red.
Your Majesty is fine and your Majesty is not pregnant. These are not the news he fears most, but the news he heard is not good either.
The emperor's husband, Xiao Wang was suggested to be made the emperor's husband.
Yes, this will happen sooner or later.
Zhou Buyan was filled with bitterness when he recalled that he once learned how to be an imperial husband.
He stopped coughing with difficulty and asked, "How do you answer, Your Majesty?"
He doesn't care about the courtier's attitude. What he cares about is His Majesty's answer. Has Your Majesty agreed?
"His Majesty only said that he would withdraw from the imperial court and did not continue."
Zhou Buyan didn't know whether to be disappointed or happy after hearing this. Chu Xingchen didn't agree, but she didn't object either.
The position of imperial husband has been vacant for so long, no wonder the courtiers pressed for the appointment of an imperial husband.
But the position of imperial concubine has never had anything to do with him, except that His Majesty wanted to appoint him when he was about to die.
Your Majesty may not accept it for the time being because of past friendship and Xiaobing.
But what if it’s been a long time?
What if he dies?
In the end, Xiao Wang may still be the emperor's husband.
He may die in the end, and he will not be able to share the cave with His Majesty, nor is he qualified to share the cave.
Thinking of this, the light in Zhou Buyan's eyes dimmed.
After Vice General Guan came in, Zhou Buyan didn't say much to him. He only said: "Hurry, hurry as fast as possible."
Before, the road was restricted and they had no choice, but now they can go on their way.
"Okay, let's fix it up a little tonight and let the doctor take a look at your body. Then we'll be on our way tomorrow."
"No, don't look any further. Let's hurry up and set off tonight. We will travel day and night."
Zhou Buyan wants to live.
Even if he died, he would take a look at His Majesty and return to Dachu.
Vice General Guan looked at Zhou Buyan with an ugly face and hesitated to speak, but did not dare to say more: "Yes."
Traveling day and night, and with the road repaired, the speed was indeed much faster. It took only five days to reach the border of Wu, and we would soon enter Dachu.
But in such a hurry, Zhou Buyan's body was already at the end of its strength, not to mention Vice General Guan and the others.
Zhou Buyan's waking hours were getting shorter and shorter, and what made him even more desperate was that there was no news from Chu Xingchen.
I don’t know if I missed it because I was in a hurry, or if I encountered some situation. After I went to notify him, I never heard back.
Lieutenant General Guan began to feel anxious and could only hurry on as fast as possible.
When the sixth day came, which was the twenty-first day, the carriage wheel broke again.
Vice General Guan asked someone to repair it and went in to see Zhou Buyan himself.
Zhou Buyan had already woken up because of the movement of the carriage: "Where are you?"
"If we walk for one more day, we will be able to enter Dachu today. If you persist, General Zhou, you will be able to return to Feng'an City soon."
Zhou Buyan heard this and looked out the window. The road was really good and the speed had increased a lot.
However, he felt that he might not be able to hold on anymore.
"Laoguan, from now on, bring food and drink to us, and don't come up yourself, and don't get close."
"After this, we will go on our way and we will all separate."
Zhou Buyan was afraid that if he died, the bloodthirsty Gu would find another person to infect.
"Put three or four barrels of black oil in the carriage. If I don't move, use flaming arrows. Don't get close until it's completely burned."
"When the burn is almost done, you can come back and help me collect the ashes."
When Lieutenant General Guan heard what he said, his expression changed drastically. Isn't this a setback to his bones?
"General Zhou, why is this happening!"
Vice General Guan shook his head without thinking: "I can't agree. General Zhou, didn't you say that His Majesty will save you? Let's not talk about this."
"I believe in Your Majesty, but I have to be absolutely prepared."
Zhou Buyan shook his head: "If His Majesty really comes and my condition is not good, you can't let His Majesty get close to me."
"You know how important your Majesty is, and you can't put your Majesty in danger."
"If you can't wait and give my ashes to Your Majesty, just ask Your Majesty once. I hope my ashes can be buried with Your Majesty in the future."
"If His Majesty agrees, you don't have to worry about it. If Your Majesty doesn't agree, you can contact Tianliu and ask Tianliu to bring my ashes out."
"Afterwards, you will scatter my ashes in His Majesty's imperial mausoleum."
