People were very surprised to see Marshal Jiang's army roaring through the Shenyan Avenue in the center of the Holy City, and from the serious eyebrows of the sergeant, they could faintly feel that something serious had happened. After the army entered the city, they each went to their respective military camps to report their lives, while Jiang Shinian only took a dozen henchmen and went straight to the Holy City Imperial City.

Jiang Shinian was looking down and thinking nonsense, when he suddenly felt that the ox cart had stopped moving, and when he raised his eyes, he realized that he had arrived in front of the Shuntian Gate of the Imperial City.

"See His Highness the Nine!"

Jiang Shinian was about to get up and get off the car, but he heard the subordinates outside the carriage calling for worship, he heard it in the car, his heart jumped suddenly, and he couldn't help frowning, listening to the voice, it was clear that it was Nangong Jiuge! That is the magic star that Hou Gangjie said in his mouth!

Since chatting with Hou Gangjie, Jiang Shinian has been thinking about how to avoid Nangong Jiuge all the way, but what he really didn't expect was that when he first returned to the Holy City, the first person he saw was the Demon Star Deity who he didn't want to see the most.

Although he muttered in his heart, he still couldn't move slowly, otherwise he would break the etiquette, and it would be bad to be left behind, and it would be bad to add another crime, so Jiang Shinian instantly stretched his frowning brows on his forehead, lifted the curtain, and jumped off the ox cart with two steps.

When I raised my eyes, I saw my subordinates kneeling on one knee one by one, bowing their hands to a young man in front of them, and then seeing that the young man was calm and relaxed, standing with his hands in his hands, it was the Nangong Jiuge!

Jiang Shinian's feet had just landed, but he saw that Nangong Jiu Ge took two steps closer, and when he came to Jiang Shi Nian, he arched his hand and said: "Jiu Ge see Fire Master Jiang Marshal!" ”

I saw Jiang Shinian smile and arch his hand and said: "The old minister doesn't dare to be, His Royal Highness the Ninth is fine, I don't know if the injury has healed?" ”

"Thanks to the marshal's blessing, he has basically recovered!"

"That's good, that's good!" Jiang Shinian saw that the Nine Highnesses in front of him were humble and polite, with a kind face, where he looked like a demon star, and he couldn't help but beat a little drum in his heart, but he was convinced of Hou Gangjie's deduction, and thought that the other party was just acting, so he had to play this role first, and after taking a step forward and approaching Nangong Jiuge, he asked in a low voice, "The old minister heard a report from the envoy of the Holy City on the road, saying that His Majesty is sick, ......?" What's going on? ”

Hearing Marshal Jiang ask, Nangong Jiuge's face instantly hung a lot of sadness, only to hear him sigh and say: "Back to Marshal Jiang, my father suddenly felt depressed in his heart a few days ago, saying that he seemed to have some ominous premonition, so he was depressed all day long, and then he walked once, and for some reason, he suddenly fell to the ground, and the medical officers finally woke up after saving him for a long time, but he never got better, he couldn't get out of bed, and the doctors in the whole city couldn't see it well, and he didn't know what the problem was?" Alas...... Now the whole imperial city is in sorrow......"

After Jiang Shinian heard this, his heart jumped again, could it be that he said this to himself? That bad premonition, does it mean that he is defeated? If that's the case, the crime this time will be big, I'm afraid that I will have to die then, and the other party thinks the same way, right?

Nangong Jiuge saw Marshal Jiang's frowns, his face was sad, and he didn't speak, so he asked tentatively: "I don't know what the result of Marshal Jiang's expedition this time ......?" Do you want to bring back the little princess? As he spoke, he craned his neck and looked into the carriage.

"It's coming......!" Marshal Jiang felt bitter in his heart, "It seems that the other party has long known the results of the front line, right?" Your Majesty is critically ill, I'm afraid he also made a ghost, is it to target me? What a crime is this to put on yourself? If you come at me, it's going to be difficult......"

"Marshal......?" Nangong Jiuge saw that the other party was in a trance, and sneered in his heart, but on the surface, he called out with concern.

"Oh...... The old minister is ashamed, there are powerful people in the human army, and the old minister has suffered a big loss this time...... I couldn't get back His Majesty's little princess. Jiang Shinian saw that the other party was pressing, so he had to bite the bullet and say.

"......" Nangong Jiuge was silent for a while, his face looked even more sad, and he only heard him say with a little apology: "The human race is extremely cunning, and I have also deeply experienced it, not to mention that victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, the marshal is relieved, Your Majesty knows the marshal best, and he will not blame you." ”

Nangong Jiuge's words surprised Jiang Shinian very much, what did the other party mean? Is there any intention to win over?

"The old minister knows that he is guilty, so let's ask His Majesty for guilt in person, and His Royal Highness will go in with the old minister?" Jiang Shinian didn't want to guess any more, so he wanted to leave for the imperial city.

"I still have something to do, so I won't accompany the marshal into the imperial city, by the way, Your Majesty is currently in the Ningshen Palace." After Nangong Jiuge finished speaking, he left with a hand.

"Congratulations to His Highness the Nine!"

Jiang Shinian looked at the other party's hurried back with a complicated expression, and when he stood with this demon star, he felt full pressure in his heart, and finally waited for the other party to leave at this moment, and couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief. But his eyes turned to the direction of the imperial city, and he didn't know how to explain to His Majesty later, so he couldn't help but feel ashamed and irritable again, and finally exhaled helplessly, raised his feet and led more than a dozen henchmen to the imperial city.

After passing the Shuntian Gate, after registering the name and the time of visiting, there were already attendants in the imperial city who stepped forward to take over, and with the attendants passing through the corridor, they came to the Ning God Hall soon after, here is the dormitory of His Majesty Emperor Yan, the palace is magnificent, but here is a little more elegant than other palaces. There are exquisite garden decorations all around the palace, there are many covered bridges, pavilions and clear springs not far from the right side, and there are countless birds and flowers, full of picturesque scenery!

But at this time, Jiang Shinian was in the mood to look at the scenery next to him, only to see him frowning, standing alone in front of the palace waiting for His Majesty Emperor Yan to summon him, and more than a dozen henchmen were temporarily left in place when they passed through the Shuntian Gate.

"Your Majesty's Fire Transmitter Marshal Jiang is here!" I saw a male waiter wearing a high hat walking quickly to the door, opening the closed door, and speaking to Jiang Shinian outside the door.

Jiang Shinian hurriedly agreed, and then stepped into the palace door with the attendant, bypassed a carved screen, and passed through a spacious lobby to a gorgeous dormitory full of warm colors.

Yandi Nangong Qingyun's seemingly strong body was lying flat on top of an elegant and comfortable soft collapse, but his face looked so weak at this time, at least Jiang Shinian had never seen His Majesty so weak, where was this still the world-proud emperor? It's clearly just a sick and sluggish person.

Jiang Shinian was shocked in his heart, he had never really thought about how far His Majesty was critically ill, and now that he saw it with his own eyes, he was shocked! At this time, he couldn't control his emotions, his tears flowed, he fell to his knees with a thud, buried his head on the ground, and cried in his mouth: "Old minister Jiang Shinian see His Majesty Emperor Yan!" Your Majesty, the minister is guilty, ......! ”

Hearing this, Emperor Yan Nangong Qingyun opened his eyes with difficulty, and turned his head to look to the side, seeing that it was indeed Jiang Shinian, he squinted his eyes and gestured to the waiter at the head of the bed, and then closed his eyes, which were already a little blood-red.

"Marshal Jiang, Your Majesty asked you to come and sit on the couch and talk."

Jiang Shinian was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then kowtowed again, got up and bent over and moved quickly to the emperor's bed, and after pausing slightly in front of the bed to confess, he turned sideways and sat on the soft collapse to look at His Majesty Emperor Yan on the bed.

At this time, when I got closer, I saw that Emperor Yan Nangong Qingyun's face was bloodless, and his lips were covered with thick black gas, as if he had been infiltrated with poisonous gas. When Jiang Shinian wanted to reach over to check His Majesty's physical condition, he saw that His Majesty Emperor Yan suddenly opened his eyes, looked back and forth at Jiang Shinian in front of him in confusion for a while, and then turned his head and gave the servant beside him a look. The servant understood, bowed and retreated out of the dormitory, and only the two kings and ministers were left in the dormitory.

"Jiang Shinian, ......"

"The minister is here."

"General Xiangyang of the Western Valley has received good news one after another, and I am very relieved......" Emperor Yan Nangong Qingyun said unhurriedly with a weak voice.

“...... Congratulations, Your Majesty! Jiang Shinian heard that His Majesty did not ask about the results of his Eastern Expedition, but first talked about the good news in the west, and he felt more and more ashamed in his heart, and his body was almost unable to sit still.

"Marshal Jiang, I feel like my time is running out......"

Jiang Shinian was terrified, and hurriedly said: "No, Your Majesty will be blessed by heaven and will be able to live forever for ten thousand years!" ”

And Nangong Qingyun laughed sadly as if he had heard a big joke, followed by a very tight cough.

"Your Majesty......"

Seeing that Jiang Shinian was going to come up to help him, Nangong Qingyun waved his hand again and again to indicate that it was okay, and after slowing down for a while, he dragged his tired body, with tears in his eyes, and said slowly: "I miss my little princess......"

This sentence of the sorrow of the girl was heard in Jiang Shinian's ears, but it was like thunder on a sunny day, which made him sincerely frightened, only to hear him scream, and then hurriedly rolled over to the bed, knelt on the ground, and cried and said: "Your Majesty, the minister is guilty, the minister has suffered a defeat, and he has not been able to bring the little princess back!" The minister deserves to die, please forgive your majesty! ”

“......”

Nangong Qingyun half-sat up from the bed with difficulty, leaned against the head of the bed, and stared at Marshal Jiang Shinian lying on the ground with his blood-red eyes, as if there were all kinds of emotions in his eyes and kept struggling.

"Your Majesty, the human race has always been wrong, we made a mistake in this battle, all this was instigated by a demon star in the imperial city, we ......"

Jiang Shinian said hurriedly with a crying tone, Nangong Qingyun's body shook in his ears, and his eyes became less confused for a moment, but all this was just a flash, and Jiang Shinian who was lying on the ground couldn't catch it at all, but to Jiang Shinian's surprise, Yandi Nangong Qingyun ignored his words, but said something unrelated to it and interrupted his Lianzhu's words.

"Marshal Jiang, I have heard that you have excellent medical skills, and I am in poor health now, why don't you come and take a look at me?"

When Jiang Shinian heard this, his body stiffened, and he kept wondering what His Majesty meant, "What do you mean?" Isn't Your Majesty going to blame me? Your Majesty believes in me after all......" Thinking of this, Jiang Shi burst into tears and cried sadly.
