Within the imperial city.
A snow-white pigeon streaked across the sky like a white silk thread and landed in a courtyard within the imperial palace.
Not long after, a young eunuch hurriedly ran over and removed the bamboo tube from the pigeon's leg. He then took the tube with both of his hands and left.
Not long after, this young eunuch appeared in front of an elderly eunuch and presented him with both hands. After receiving the bamboo tube, he slowly opened it to look at the contents. Immediately, he revealed a shocked expression and then recovered his composure. However, he still had a solemn expression on his face as he turned around and walked towards the study room.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, this Eunuch Wei wishes to seek an audience!" The eunuch on duty in the royal study reported to the emperor in a shrill voice.
"Announce!" A man wearing a bright yellow dragon robe sat in front of the imperial study table. He didn't even raise his head as he only spoke a single word, seemingly very busy.
"This old servant pays his respects to Your Majesty, long live our Emperor!" This was the privilege granted to him by his grandfather. This privilege was granted to him by His Majesty's grandfather, and the Eunuch Wei at that time was not even a eunuch, but a majestic Western General.
"There is no need to be overly courteous. The emperor's grandfather has long forgiven all of your etiquette. You are also one of my close subjects, and yet you still insist on bowing!" Seeing the arrival of the Eunuch Wei, the emperor also stopped the imperial edict that he was commenting on and looked at the person as he spoke.
"Although this old official does not have to kneel, the rest of the etiquette must not be wasted!" The eunuch said stubbornly. It was still the same habit as when he was a general. He should do as he was told.
"You are really stubborn. Forget it, what's the matter?" After saying it so many times, there was no need to count on it anymore. The emperor had changed the topic, and he was curious as to why the eunuch would come to his study at this time of the day while he was taking a nap.
"Your Majesty, the 'Dragon Eagle' has sent an urgent message!" Without the usual courtesy, the eunuch went straight to the point.
"Oh?" One must know that even when the border trials had been attacked, this old eunuch who was as steady as Mount Tai had never used the words' very urgent '.
"What happened?" The emperor muttered to himself for a moment before asking.
"The expedition team led by the current patriarch Situ was ambushed. Situ Qingtian was heavily injured. Murong Fenghuang ?" At this point, the old eunuch paused for a moment and organized his thoughts.
"Did something happen to the phoenix too?" His Majesty was shocked when he heard it. Other people might be easy to deal with, but Murong Fenghuang was involved. As the emperor, he was already too big, and the phoenix was not someone that could be easily provoked.
"Murong Fenghuang did not sustain any injuries, but I am just a little tired!" The eunuch said.
"You old brat, did you intentionally scare me?" His Majesty was relieved.
"This old servant doesn't dare!" The old eunuch lowered his hands and bowed, then hurriedly said, "I dare not."
"Alright, I'm just joking. Continue speaking!" It was a rare opportunity for the emperor to tease the old eunuch, how could he let it slip by so easily?
On the way, Clan Head Situ and her wife Murong Fenghuang met with an attack from close to a thousand assassins, including the three big groups in the Jianghu. Fortunately, the Situ Family and the Murong Family came in time to help them, and with the help of the powerful illusionist, they were able to escape from danger. The old eunuch narrated the events in an orderly manner.
"What about the killer? Did you catch him alive? "Who ordered it?" His Majesty said.
"All three assassins were killed, and the remaining assassins were all put on duty. It is said that one of them escaped and disappeared without a trace at the border between Tongzhou County and Jiuzhou County. As for who was the mastermind and who was the culprit, the culprit was not clear on the culprit, but the culprit was generous. They got a high price for the mission this time. From this, it seems like the culprit is quite influential. " The old eunuch spoke of the results of the battle and analyzed them.
"What a great gift. Who could it be?" The king mumbled to himself.
"I feel that the most important thing is not to find out who my opponent is, but to stabilize the Five Great Families. At least, on the surface, I need to comfort him. And since the person behind the curtain has made such a move, it must mean that the plan is not small, and will definitely reveal some clues in the future, and at that time, we will be able to grab onto his tail. I think that with Murong Fenghuang's ability to think of this, she will definitely know what to do! " The eunuch spoke up to advise His Majesty.
"That's right. There are still many unanswered questions regarding this matter. There is indeed no need to be hasty about it." The emperor pondered for a moment. He also felt that this made sense, so he no longer bothered with the people behind the scenes.
"Your majesty is enlightened!"
It seems like the two great families are going to get angry, but we are also angry, Situ Qingtian is our playmate from a young age, after all, he is our friend, we will definitely not allow this kind of thing to happen again, we will leave the palace to retrieve the healing panacea and send it to the Murong Family, giving it to Situ Qingtian to treat his injuries. Also, inform eagle eye and eagle eye at the same time, investigate this matter with all your might. Report immediately whenever there is any movement, and remember to tell them that it is a thorough investigation. "
"This old servant accepts the order!" The old eunuch was about to go down to make the arrangements, but the emperor stopped him.
"Eunuch Wei, to the north of eagle eye, from the position of commander, you must be ordered to reprimand and everyone must be punished to pay a fine of half a year. Hmph, someone had planned such a big assassination, and they didn't even notice in advance! "This is a dereliction of duty. Let them put on a spotlight and don't make a mistake. Let us keep our eyes on them. If something like this happens again, we will meet them head first!" The king bellowed.
The emperor was furious and his corpse floated thousands of miles in the air. This was the biggest event that had happened since the emperor ascended to the throne. Not only did he need to appease the great clans, he also needed to take care of the aftermath.
Somewhere in the continent, there was a towering mountain with blood-red clouds lingering around it. This mountain was desolate everywhere. The dead wood could be used as a forest, while the scorched earth could be called a mountain.
However, in this place where humans and animals rarely appeared, there was a magnificent group of palaces. It was different from the other palaces' golden splendor, but the palaces here made people shudder in fear.
In a palace hall.
"Reporting to hall master, the nether wolf is unconscious!" A trembling voice said.
"Trash, all of them are trash! Get lost! " An angry roar filled the entire hall.
"Yes, yes, this little one will take my leave!" The person who had come to report this immediately scrambled out of the hall.
"Oh, why is brother still so powerful even when he's angry? Your little sister can hear Big Brother's voice from afar! " An alluring voice drifted in from outside the hall.
"Hmph. I was wondering who it was. So it's you, you coquettish girl. What business do you have in coming to my Hall of Fear?" The roars disappeared, but at this moment, the roars were still filled with hostility and anger.
"Aiyo, little sister is kind enough to share big brother's worries. Who would have thought that big brother would misunderstand little sister like this? This little sister really cannot endure it!" "Haha ?" The devilish voice said that she was giggling right there, her bell-like voice was very pleasant to listen to.
"Hmph, how could you be so kind. I think you're here to make fun of me!" "Yes, the mission I planned this time has indeed failed, so what? I will be punished along with the sector lord, no need to trouble Fourth Sister." This Hall Master of the Hall of Fear obviously didn't appreciate Fang Xing's kindness in the slightest, and refused his offer to help them with what they called 'good intentions'!
"Hmph, that's for the best. However, big brother's men need to properly manage it. If you can't even handle a small matter like this, you might as well raise a dog." No matter what, we, the four Palace Masters, are still one. Since big brother does not appreciate it, little sister will take her leave! " After speaking, the charming woman turned around and left.
"Aiyah... "You've gone too far, my man is not as good as a dog. Pfft, I've killed more people than a dog!" The hall was once again filled with roars.
Within Cloud Mist Mountain, Cloud Mist City.
"Doctor, how is he?" General Li and masked man waited in the room. After the doctor asked around, General Li was the first to speak.
"Sigh, this old man has never seen such symptoms before!" The doctor began to shake his head with a helpless expression.
"Doctor, feel free to speak!" masked man indicated that he had mentally prepared himself.
"This warrior's injuries are very serious. Not to mention the burn marks on his skin, even his internal organs seem to have been burnt by something. However, looking at his clothes, there isn't any trace of fire, which makes me puzzled. Since it's not a fire, then where did the burning injury come from?"
The old doctor paused for a moment, stroked his beard, and continued, "If it was just this inner and outer fire poison alone, it would not have been difficult for me."
"Doctor, just tell me if he can still wake up. How long will it take for him to wake up?" General Li listened attentively, thinking that this old doctor was saying that there was no hope for this person.
"General, don't worry. With this old man's medical skills, it won't be difficult to save this person, but after saving him, this old man's power will be greatly reduced. This is where this old man's spirit is hurt." Furthermore, if you all want him to wake up faster, this old man can give it a try. However, it will harm his core energy. I don't know ? " The old doctor calmly said.
"He can wake up now? I hope that senior doctor can do it quickly! " Right now, the most important thing was to get first-hand information, everything else was just for show, even if he were to die in the next second, he had to wake up immediately. Without his information, a lot of people would die, so it was better for him to die than to die with so many people.
"Alright, then this old man shall begin!" The old doctor stood up, rolled up his sleeves, took out a needle bag from inside his clothes, and spread it out on the bed. He took out a silver needle and made it over the lamp before starting to make the needle.
General Li and masked man were also anxiously waiting at the side for the results. Time passed bit by bit.
Meanwhile, the old doctor was also sweating profusely. He had tried several acupuncture techniques, but still could not awaken the other party. He was also very anxious right now. At this moment, he had a needle in his hand and was hesitating. The next step was to place the Baihe Acupoint on his head and the Yongquan Acupoint on his feet. This was also his last resort.
The needle went in anyway. The old doctor felt that if he didn't get the needle, the two people behind him would stab him with needles all over his body.
"Ah... "Ah ?" A soft groan sounded out, and the old doctor hurriedly wiped his sweat. If he didn't succeed, he would probably die a horrible death.
"You're awake?" General Li and masked man asked in unison.
"Where am I?" A faint voice came from the person lying on the bed.
"Fortunately, he didn't fail his mission. He can wake up for a while. If you have anything to ask, ask quickly!" The old doctor was quite tactful and quickly got up to leave. There were some things that required one to live longer if they knew less. These were the experiences passed down by the older generations.
