C394 Be Honest
"Marshal, you are a man of great achievements. Who in the world doesn't know about you? You are at the peak of Spring and Autumn. Why do you say that?"
Jie Qianchou took a deep breath and tried his best to hide the uneasiness in the corner of his eyes. He pretended to be calm and asked with a smile.
Unexpectedly, Dou Tianlai merely smiled faintly in response. He slowly walked to his front and quietly looked at him. "Are you still not going to tell me the truth at this point?"
Seeing this, Jie Qianchou immediately knew that he could not hide it anymore. He smiled bitterly and said, "Marshal, so you already know. "
Dou Tianlai laughed heartily. "You brat, don't tell me I don't know my own body? But it's really hard on you. Although I don't know how you did it, If it wasn't for you, I would have died a long time ago! "
Jie Qianchou shook his head and said disapprovingly, "The Marshal is blessed by the heavens. All of this is the Marshal's own fortune. I only helped the Marshal to ease his meridians a little. It's nothing. "
"Heh, you kid are being modest with me?" As Dou Tianlai spoke, he turned around. There was a hint of relief in his tone. "Although I don't know what method you used to bring me back to life, how can there be a good thing in this world that doesn't pay the price? Just look at your expression and you'll know. These days, I'm afraid you've been tired quite a bit. Even so, I can still clearly feel that the Profound Qi is gradually flowing out of my body. Right now, I am like a human-shaped hourglass. Since it is an hourglass. . . There will be a day when it will run out. "
" However, thinking back to my life, when I was ten years old, I joined the army. Fifteen kings, and when I was twenty, I was invincible in the Barbarian Army. Ever since I unified the army, in the past few decades, He had not lost a single battle. People called him War God of Great Chu. His might shook the world, and he had no regrets in his life. Now, I just want to know how many more days I have left to live. I should have made plans earlier, Doctor Jie. For the sake of the fact that I am already on the verge of death, please tell me the truth. "
"It's not that I am deliberately hiding it, but that Emperor has a decree. This makes it very difficult for me!" Jie Qianchou sighed, as if he had made a big decision all of a sudden. He gritted his teeth and said, "Fine, since the marshal insists on asking, That lowly one would definitely tell the truth even if he risked his life for it. I will definitely not hide it! "
Dou Tianlai immediately cupped his hands at him and bowed deeply. "Thank you!"
He had saved his life beyond the heavens! Even though Jie Qianchou was still a junior to him, the difference in status was like heaven and earth. However, Dou Tianlai still bowed seriously. This action scared Jie Qianchou out of his wits. He cried out in panic. "Even if you want to kill me!"
Trembling, he helped Dou Tianlai up and Jie Qianchou immediately knelt on the ground. Tears welled up in his eyes as he said, "Marshal, What request do you have? Just tell me, to go through fire and water and return the favor. It is not a matter of a single word from you. Why do you have to give me such a big gift? How can I bear it?! "
"Absurd. Saving a life is the grace of rebirth. Since you are my benefactor, what is wrong with this bow!" When Dou Tianlai saw him kneel down as well, he instantly became furious. He said, "You, on the other hand, have always been the one who received the grace of a benefactor. Why did you kneel down to me? Quickly get up!"
However, no matter how hard he tried, Jie Qianchou refused to get up. Just as Dou Tianlai was about to use his inner energy to pull him up, Jie Qianchou suddenly kowtowed three times at him. Before he could react, he sobbed and said, "Marshal, You represent not only you, but also the dignity of countless people in Great Chu. You are also the backbone of the Great Chu that has been passed down for hundreds of years. What can I do for you? It is the fortune that I, Jie Qianchou, have cultivated for three lifetimes. Today, I will accept your bow. Qianchou knows that he has committed a grave crime. Please allow me to use this method to atone for my crimes! "
After saying that, he kowtowed a few more times. When he raised his head, his forehead was already covered in blood and flesh.
Dou Tianlai was just about to forcefully pull him up when he heard these words that were filled with emotion. Tears immediately flowed down his face and he sighed slightly. He helped him up and at the same time, he placed a hand on his injured forehead.
Jie Qianchou immediately felt a warm current flowing through his forehead. It was ticklish. He gently waited for Dou Tianlai to stop. Jie Qianchou couldn't help but touch his injured spot. He was surprised to find that the wound that was bleeding just now had already formed a scar. The pain also seemed to have disappeared in an instant. As a doctor, he naturally knew that all of this seemed to be simple. In fact, the requirements for a person's inner energy cultivation and the degree of control over the Genuine Qi were as high as the heavens. He couldn't help but respect Dou Tianlai even more.
"I have no other requests to live on. I only hope to do something for the people of Great Chu before I die. Therefore, I have to make plans early. " Dou Tianlai closed his eyes when he said this. There was no sadness or joy on his face. "Doctor Jie, please say it. How many days do I have left?"
Jie Qianchou's voice suddenly became low. He was so sad that he could not speak properly. "If Imperial Advisor and this lowly one's prediction is correct, Marshal, you. . . You only have one year at most. . . "
"Oh, one year?" Dou Tianlai repeated. One year, although a little short. But it's better than nothing. The only thing that makes me feel regretful is. . . It is likely that I will never be able to see my Great Chu once again stand at the top of the seven countries in my lifetime. Such an honor has been buried here by me. Now that it's the Underworld, how should I explain it to the late emperor? "
Then, he laughed and said, "My children and grandchildren are blessed by their own children. What's there to worry about? It's my fault for worrying too much. With you and Chu Feng around, how can my Great Chu be willing to be lonely? "
Seeing this scene, Jie Qianchou silently wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and sighed with emotion in his heart. "Even though I'm already at the end of my days and don't have to worry about the future, I've been thinking about this country and the thousands of people all the time. Why do I have to do my best? Why do I have to die after I die? I guess it's just so-so?"
When he thought of this, he felt respect.
At the same time, in the territory of Barbarian Tribe, thousands of miles away, Qih Luner suddenly opened his eyes from his bed and spurted out a mouthful of blood. His expression changed drastically. He was extremely ferocious! Ou Yezi, you have won again. I am not willing to accept this! I am not willing to accept this! Ahhh!!"
Not far away from the palace of the Barbarian Tribe, the Barbarian King Yu Ji shattered the battle report and the messenger into pieces.
"Trash, they are all trash!"
In a fit of rage, Yu Ji killed all the guards and maids around him. His long hair was hanging loosely, and he held his saber towards the sky as he shouted at the top of his voice, "Chu Kingdom, you are going too far!"
"In the future, I'll definitely break through your border and attack the Imperial Capital. I'll wash Jin Luan in blood to vent the hatred in my heart!"
