Chapter 178: Zhao Yan who learned the truth
"How far is it from Guangzhou, and when can I get there at the earliest?" Zhao Yan stood on the deck and walked around anxiously while asking the people on the ship, after a tense voyage, Zhao Yan's fleet bypassed Africa, crossed the Indian Ocean and the South Sea, and finally reached the sea area of the Great Song Dynasty, and in front of it was Guangzhou, Xu Yuan and Hu Yanping were there, as long as they saw them, they should know what happened to Zhao Xu's side.
"Your Highness, we have arrived off the coast of Guangzhou, and we can reach the port of Guangzhou in one hour at the earliest!" I saw a naval admiral on the deck reply in a loud voice.
"Very good, order the fleet to move on and strive to reach Guangzhou as soon as possible!" Zhao Yan nodded when he heard this, in fact, he couldn't wait to fly to Guangzhou immediately, but he also knew that the soldiers of the fleet were already exhausted after such a long voyage, so he couldn't bear to rush too much.
An hour later, the port of Guangzhou really appeared in front of the fleet, because Zhao Yan and their ships were all warships, so there was no need to queue up in the port like civilian ships, but came directly to the military port next to it, Xu Yuan and Hu Yanping in Guangzhou City had already received the news, and they were already waiting on the dock at this time, when Zhao Yan's ship docked at the berth, he hurriedly got off the ship, and then rushed to Xu Yuan and others and asked: "What's the matter, what happened to Your Majesty?" ”
In addition to Xu Yuan and Hu Yanping, there were also Zhao Yan's eldest brother-in-law, Wang Shiyue, as well as his eldest sister Princess Chen and second sister Princess Shu, both of whom were not outsiders, so Zhao Yan asked this question without scruples, but after Xu Yuan and the others heard it, they looked at each other, but no one spoke, and even the two eldest princesses secretly wiped their tears. This also made Zhao Yan feel even more bad.
"Third brother, this matter is complicated, let's go back and rest first, and then we will talk about this matter in detail!" In the end, it was Wang Shiyue who was the first to speak, they were all top-level nobles of the Great Song Dynasty, not only with noble status. At the same time, they held great power, so not long after Zhao Xu's accident, they already knew what happened, but they also knew that Zhao Yan and Zhao Xu were almost like father and son, so naturally they didn't dare to tell him easily.
"No, this has been tormenting me all the way in my head, so I have to know now!" Zhao Yan seemed very stubborn at this time, because he already had a very ominous premonition in his heart, so he was eager to know the truth of the matter. Especially Zhao Xu's current situation.
Seeing that Zhao Yan was so stubborn, Wang Shiyue, Xu Yuan, and Hu Yanping glanced at each other, and finally saw Xu Yuan stand up and speak: "Third brother, the reason why Your Majesty didn't tell you about this matter is mainly because I am afraid that you will worry, but now that you are back, it doesn't hurt to tell you, when Your Majesty was in Mount Tai some time ago." Someone took advantage of the opportunity to cause chaos, and as a result, His Majesty was seriously injured......"
"What!" didn't wait for Xu Yuan's words to finish. Zhao Yan was already shocked and took a few steps back, although Zhao Xu was not his son, but he grew up with him since he was a child, Zhao Yan paid more attention to him than his own son, it can be said that the relationship between the two is actually no different from that of father and son, and now he suddenly heard the news that Zhao Xu was seriously injured. This blow to Zhao Yan can be imagined.
Hu Yanping and Xu Yuan hurriedly stepped forward to support Zhao Yan, and then Xu Yuan hurriedly opened his mouth to persuade: "Third brother, although Your Majesty's injuries are serious, at least he is very conscious, and he is afraid that you will worry." That's why I didn't dare to tell you the truth, and he also asked people to go to Nanyang to wait for Jia'er, just a month ago, Jia'er happened to return to Nanyang, so he hurried to Dengzhou to see His Majesty, with Jia'er's help, now the DPRK has stabilized, so don't worry too much! ”
"Xu'er...... How is Xu'er's body now? Although Xu Yuan told Zhao Yan not to worry, he didn't say anything about Zhao Xu's physical condition, and Zhao Yan naturally found out about it very keenly, so he grabbed his hand again and asked.
"This ......" Hearing Zhao Yan ask about Zhao Xu's physical condition again, Xu Yuan and the others all looked at each other, and didn't know how to answer for a while, they couldn't say that Zhao Xu was in danger now, so I don't know if Zhao Yan can accept it?
From Xu Yuan's expressions, Zhao Yan could also guess some, at the moment he only felt that it was dark in front of him, and he almost fell on the dock, fortunately with Xu Yuan and Hu Yanping supporting, it was not easy to stand firm, but then he said loudly to Xu Yuan: "Quick!" Hurry up and help me prepare the fastest steamboat, I'm going to Dengzhou to meet Xu'er right away! ”
Seeing Zhao Yan's appearance, Xu Yuan and the others also sighed again, they also knew that they couldn't persuade Zhao Yan at this time, so they could only let people prepare ships, fortunately this is a military port, and Xu Yuan is in charge of the navy here, so they quickly prepared a few of the fastest ships, Zhao Yan, who had just landed, boarded the ship again and sailed towards Dengzhou quickly, but the two eldest princesses were not worried about him, so Xu Yuan and Wang Shiyue also accompanied Zhao Yan on the boat, but Hu Yanping stayed, after all, if they all left, There is no one to deal with the defense affairs on the Guangzhou side.
In addition, Zhao Yan originally hoped that Cao Ying and the others would stay in Guangzhou, and his two sisters would take care of them at that time, but Cao Ying and others were worried that Zhao Yan would be too sad, so they finally insisted on going to Dengzhou with him.
"Husband, you eat and sleep, otherwise your body will not be able to bear it!" On the boat a few days later, Cao Ying said to Zhao Yan with a concerned face, since leaving Guangzhou, Zhao Yan has hardly closed his eyes, and he put down the dishes and chopsticks after a few bites during the meal, so after a few days, the whole person lost a few laps at once, so today she specially made some side dishes that Zhao Yan likes, hoping that he can eat more.
"Alas! I can't eat it! Why do you say that Zhao Tong and Zhao Jun, two bastards, rebelled? They are all my learning, and it is also me, as a teacher, who has not fulfilled my responsibilities, and Xu'er now does not know whether she is alive or dead, if there is really a case, how can I be worthy of my dead eldest brother? Zhao Yan first shook his head and refused, and then said a series of words with great self-reproach.
"How can this be blamed on the husband, the saint can't guarantee that his students are all successful, not to mention that the husband's students are much more than the saint, and it has been a few months since His Majesty was poisoned, and His Majesty is still alive, which shows that the toxicity can be controlled, maybe the husband will be able to see a healthy Majesty when he arrives in Dengzhou." Cao Ying said with relief at this time.
"Well, I hope so!" Zhao Yan sighed again, and at the same time looked at the far north, and secretly prayed in his heart, hoping that Zhao Xu could survive this catastrophe safely. (To be continued.) )
