Zhao Jia's ship finally arrived at Dengzhou Port in the afternoon after several days of expedited sailing, when the ship docked at the port, Zhao Jia immediately jumped on the dock, there were already people on the dock to greet him, so after seeing Zhao Jia, he immediately greeted him into a carriage, and then rushed to a temporary palace in Dengzhou City.

When Zhao Jia's carriage came to the gate of the temporary palace, the sunset had already begun to set, and the entire palace was dyed with gold by the sunset, which looked brilliant, but Zhao Jia felt an indescribable desolation, but now he couldn't care about this, and he stepped into the palace, he had to see Zhao Xu as soon as possible to figure out what was going on?

However, just when Zhao Jia had just entered the palace, he suddenly saw a person walking towards him, and when he saw the appearance of the other party, he was very surprised and said, "Sixth brother, why are you here?" ”

The oncoming person is Zhao Jia's younger brother Zhao Xin, Zhao Xin ranks sixth among the brothers, usually has a sense of government affairs, but likes to listen to other people's privacy, but Zhao Jia remembers that his father said that Zhao Xin went to the Japanese country last year, and was responsible for building a port there, and provoked the internal strife of the Japanese country.

"Big brother, you're finally here, I'll take you to rest!" Zhao Xin saw Zhao Jia but smiled and said, but his smile looked a little reluctant, and he looked preoccupied.

"Sixth brother, where is Brother Xu now, I want to see him immediately!" Zhao Jia heard that Zhao Xin was going to take him to rest, and he refused without thinking about it, he didn't eat or sleep well on the way, in order to know what was going on earlier, so he had to see Zhao Xu as soon as possible.

"This ......" I saw that Zhao Xin showed an embarrassed expression at this time, and then he forced a laugh and spoke again. Big brother, you have just come back from a round-the-world voyage, and you must be tired, so it is better to have a good rest, why don't I have someone prepare some wine and food, and our brothers have a few drinks. Then you can sleep again, and it is not too late to see Your Majesty again tomorrow. ”

Seeing that his own brother was obviously delaying himself to see Zhao Xu, this made Zhao Jia even more suspicious, and stared at Zhao Xin for a long time, but Zhao Xin was hairy all over his body, and the smile on his face was even more reluctant, and finally Zhao Jia finally spoke again: "Sixth brother, tell me honestly, what happened here Brother Xu?" ”

"Nope. What can Your Majesty do, but ......"

"Stop playing tricks on me! If you don't tell the truth, believe it or not, I'll beat you! Without waiting for Zhao Xin to finish speaking, Zhao Jia yelled angrily, Zhao Xin is his younger brother, where can he not see that he is lying? And with his own understanding of Zhao Xu, he came here after going around the earth, and Zhao Xu would definitely come to greet him in person, but he hadn't seen Zhao Xu's figure since the port. There is only one reason for this, that is, Zhao Xu can't come out to greet him for some reason. This also made Zhao Jia even more worried.

"I ......" Seeing Zhao Jia angry, Zhao Xin was too scared to speak, speaking of which Zhao Jia was the oldest among the brothers, and his prestige was also the highest, they were bullied before, and Zhao Jia helped them find their way back. This also made the brothers respect Zhao Jia more, so Zhao Xin, in addition to his father Zhao Yan, was most afraid of his eldest brother.

But at this moment, I suddenly saw a small chamberlain rushing over, and then whispered a few words in Zhao Xin's ear. As a result, Zhao Xin also showed a look of great joy, and said to Zhao Xu at the moment: "Big brother, Your Majesty said that he wanted to see you in person, if you have any questions, go and ask him directly!" ”

"Take me there!" Zhao Jia didn't hesitate to say when he heard this, he knew Zhao Xin too well, his younger brother worked in the Imperial City Division, and his mouth had always been the strictest, so if he made up his mind not to say it, he didn't want to hear any useful news from his mouth, so everything was still after seeing Zhao Xu.

At that moment, Zhao Jia followed Zhao Xin to a house in the middle of the palace, only to see that there were three steps, one post, five steps and one sentry here, and the defense was very tight, which made Zhao Jia also frown, because the defense here was too tight, and when he came to the outside of the house and had not yet entered the door, he smelled a few traces of Chinese medicine from the air, which made him frown even more, could it be that Zhao Xu was sick?

Thinking of the above, Zhao Jia hurriedly strode into the hall, at this time the sunset had already set, although a few candles were lit in the living room, but the light in the hall was still a little dim, with the help of dim lights, Zhao Jia could see a person sitting on a chair in the hall, because of the light problem could not see his face clearly, there was a table of wine banquet in front of him, when he saw him come in, only to hear the other party smile and say: "Big brother, you are finally here!" ”

Hearing the other party's familiar voice, Zhao Jia finally felt relieved, because the person who spoke was Zhao Xu, and he just wanted to speak when he walked a few steps closer, but when he saw Zhao Xu by the dim candlelight, Zhao Jia immediately exclaimed: "Brother Xu, you ...... What's wrong with you? ”

The reason why Zhao Jia was so shocked was because he saw Zhao Xu's face withered sitting behind the table, even with the help of the dim light, he could see that Zhao Xu's face was very bad, and his cheeks were even deeper, if it weren't for Zhao Jia's very familiar with Zhao Xu, I am afraid that he would not be able to recognize the person opposite as Zhao Xu.

Seeing Zhao Jia's shocked appearance, Zhao Xu, who was full of sickness, showed an indifferent smile and said: "Big brother, don't worry, I just had a serious illness some time ago, so I don't look very good, but now it's fine!" ”

"Are you really alright?" Zhao Jia asked with some disbelief at this time, because Zhao Xu's appearance in front of him really didn't look like he was cured, but more like a seriously ill person, but Zhao Xu sat steadily on the chair, and his tone of voice was also normal, which made Zhao Jia feel a lot more at ease.

"Of course it's okay, otherwise I wouldn't have set up a banquet here for you big brother!" At this time, I saw Zhao Xu smile again, his face seemed to be a little more bloody, and his eyes flashed a little brighter.

Seeing this, Zhao Jia finally breathed a sigh of relief, and sat down opposite Zhao Xu at the moment, and then asked with concern: "Brother Xu, what kind of illness do you have, how are you feeling now, and what does the imperial doctor say?" ”

Hearing Zhao Jia's series of questions, I saw Zhao Xu smile again: "Actually, it's nothing, it's just that some time ago I was in Mount Tai Feng Zen, but I accidentally contracted a cold, I felt young at the time, I thought it would be good to sleep, but because of this, I missed the time for treatment, and as a result, a minor illness became a major illness, but now it is much better." ”

"Just the wind chill?" Zhao Jia was suspicious again when he heard this, he always felt that Zhao Xu was not telling the truth.

"Of course......" Zhao Xu just wanted to say something more at this time, but his face suddenly changed, he covered his chest with his hands, the expression on his face was extremely uncomfortable, and then he suddenly opened his mouth, and a mouthful of pitch-black blood spurted out!
