When Yu Jian returned to the royal capital of the dragon, it was already the afternoon sword time of October 9. [Ran^Text^Library] [][For more exciting novels, please visit] When he went, he hated to have wings under his armpits, and when he returned, his heart was like an arrow. However, compared with the uneasy anticipation mixed with when he went, when he came back, he was preoccupied, as if a thousand pounds of boulder pressed on his chest, suffocating him.

From the moment he arrived at the four-leaf clover outpost and climbed into the dragon wall, he never thought about what Agaza's purpose was for letting him live, no matter what it was, it was no more important than Rong Lifeng's words.

"I believe his words, unless they give permission, outsiders will not be able to get the ice mushroom, that thing is a sacred thing in the hearts of the barbarians, a gift from the Lord of the Sky Goshawk. ”

Not only did Rong Lifeng see it this way, but when he passed through the Golden Castle to see Qin Wei again, he also heard similar statements, but the words of the King of the Golden Horse were sharper and more direct, which made him tremble. "My lord, you have to be careful of Yuan Dawei. I'm afraid his purpose is not to want His Majesty to get the ice mushroom, but to want the head of one of your Dragon Monarch guards!"

He really couldn't connect Yuan Dawei with the conspiracy. The governor of Baihua Province has always been so kind and humble, because Baihua and the king are very close to each other, Yuan Dawei is the one who has visited His Majesty the most times among the provincial governors. He recommended two doctors who were famous for a hundred flowers to enter the palace as imperial doctors, and even the eunuchs in the palace were well known, and the governor of Yuan Province was looking for doctors and medicines everywhere for His Majesty, how could such a loyal person harbor evil intentions and make up the shameless lie that the Eta people used ice mushrooms to cure diseases?

Panicked thoughts tormented Yu Jian. He had even forgotten if Long Dailan had seen him off when he left the Golden Castle. He vaguely remembered that there was, but he wasn't sure. Along the way, he felt that his mind was unclear and chaotic. Finally arrived at the palace, he was still hesitant to relay Qin Wei's words to His Majesty.

After returning to the guardhouse, Xiao Zhi was very excited to see his master again, and kept asking him if he had any special experiences during the trip, and this child liked to listen to some anecdotes the most.

"I have to take a shower first, I'm too tired, my body is sour and smelly, I have to soak it well, otherwise I'm afraid of damaging Your Majesty." ”

Xiao Zhi laughed when he heard this, and quickly gave him a large basin of hot water. "Xiao Zhi, tell me, after I left the palace, did anything happen?"

Xiao Zhi rubbed his back while talking about the things in these days. When he heard that Long Biyue had fallen and was injured, he shook his head and sighed again and again, and when he heard that Long Zixing had entered the Seven Sons Hall, he nodded frequently, like Xi Yuan's dismissal and Zedi's rebellion, which made him frown.

What made him most anxious was that Long Jun's condition was getting worse and worse, and the bright light made Long Jun very uncomfortable, and now he had to close the curtains tightly during the day. And the time that Long Jun was asleep was getting longer and longer.

After he finished bathing, he had a casual dinner at the guardhouse, and after a short rest, he rushed to the dragon king's dormitory.

On duty outside the dormitory is Wan Cheng. The oldest guard in the regiment, the sideburns have silver threads, the beard is also black and silver, is a tall and fierce northern man, and the rough appearance is different, he is as careful as a hair, considerate and kind, when the first king Long Shaode reigned, he was one of the eight guards of the sword, deeply trusted, when Long Xingtian was the prince, the swordsmanship was learned from him. Wan Cheng originally had a serious face, but when he saw Yu Jian, he couldn't help but smile in his eyes, and he didn't need to say much, the hands of the two were tightly clasped together. Although there are different ranks, when there are no others, they do not pay attention to etiquette.

"Your Majesty is dining. He must be happy to see you back. ”

Yu Jian nodded, stood outside the door and asked: "Yu Jian asks to see." ”

"Come in. ”

Yu Jian pushed the door into the room, it was dim inside, as Xiao Zhi said, the curtains had been pulled up, the original golden gauze curtain was replaced by a dark blue thickened jacquard curtain, and only a micro lamp was lit on the wall. Long Xingtian sat in a golden velvet quilt, eating under the service of the eunuch, and the meals were all placed on a thin golden table, and the thin ones were placed on the bed. Yu Jian knelt on his knees.

"You're back. Bestow the seat. The attendant brought a chair, Yu Jian stood up, glanced at the dishes, and couldn't help frowning. "Your Majesty......"

"I can't eat too much meat and I can't drink alcohol now, so it's all vegetarian. Long Xingtian smiled weakly, as if a piece of his cheekbones had been hollowed out, and he was so thin that Yu Jian was frightened. What Xiao Zhi said is true, His Majesty is getting weaker and weaker.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty is incompetent and has failed to bring back ice mushrooms for Your Majesty, I beg Your Majesty to punish you severely!" Yu Jian felt his nose sour, and knelt down again before he could sit down.

"I'm glad I came back alive. Long Xingtian waved his hand and motioned for the eunuch to retreat. Even such a simple action seems to be laborious. "As soon as you left the palace, I regretted that I shouldn't have given you such a task. I pray to the dragon god that you will be safe, my god has heard you. ”

This is an emperor who reigns over the world, this is a long-term illness and infirmity, even though he is only forty-three years old. A terrible disease had worn away his domineering spirit. He personally prayed for a courtier, and he cared so much about his courtier's safety.

"Your Majesty, it is the sin of the ministers. The minister climbed to the top of the Storm Mountain, but there was no way to bring the ice mushrooms back. Yu Jian's forehead touched the ground, and his eyes were moist.

"Oh, really went up?" His Majesty the Dragon Monarch didn't blame, "Tell me about it." ”

Yu Jian briefly described the climbing process, without mentioning the hardships in the wasteland, and he said in detail about the encounter with the barbarians, but he skipped the details of mining green iron.

You can't let Long Jun worry about the nomadic tide.

"You saw that barbarian, he didn't attack you, and helped you through the wasteland......" Long Xingtian looked surprised, "If it weren't for the words that came out of your mouth, I would have found it hard to believe that such a thing happened." But I know you never lie. ”

"Gaza says there will be a storm that will descend on the entire continent of Windwind. Yu Jian kept the barbarian's prophecy firmly in his heart. It is likely that Gaza is not alarmist, and there is no need for him to do so.

"What should come, will come. Long Jun Zhengse said, "The ice mushroom is a gift from the goshawk, so I don't want it." I am commanded by the god of the earth, how can the giver of mortal realms bend his knees to the goshawk and ask for it!" He was emotional, and his tone was stern, but it made him even more uncomfortable, and he had to put his hands on his chest and gasp violently.

"Your Majesty, speak slowly. Yu Jian hurriedly stepped forward to help, "Slow down, don't be in a hurry." ”

He had a lot to say, but now it was stuck in his throat and he couldn't spit it out. Unexpectedly, in less than a month, Long Jun's illness had deteriorated to such an extent.

"I think I am sitting in the nine provinces, but I am trapped by this strange disease, tortured day and night, life is better than death. Long Jun let out a long sigh weakly.

Your Majesty has never been like this before. He was always full of self-confidence and never gave in to his illness for two years. This ice mushroom, which I didn't know if it really worked, seemed to have become his last straw, and he struggled to the point of exhaustion in the quagmire of illness, and seemed to have lost hope.

"Your Majesty, you are the son of the Spirit Dragon, and the Dragon God takes care of your health. Yu Jian held His Majesty's shoulders and said things that he didn't believe.

"I know there have been some rumors. If so, that's me...... Deserved. Long Jun breathed hard, his withered hand gripping Yu Jian tightly, "I have believed since I was a child that things are done by man, not by the hands of gods. I...... I am not a devout person, and now it is my God who punishes me for my disrespect. If...... My God has called me, and you are to watch over me as you protect me...... Purple Star. ”

"The minister swears that the minister's fist and sword will fight for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince until death. Yu Jian said angrily.

"Good, good. Purple Star would love to see you. You go to the Yingwu Palace. Help me lie down and put it away. Long Jun lay down, and Yu Jian whispered in his ear: "Your Majesty, if you rest more and talk less, you will slowly get better." ”

"My body, myself clear. Long Xingtian closed his eyes and stopped talking.

Yu Jian was gloomy, took the thin table off the bed, and exited the room.

The suspicions of the ice mushroom, Qin Wei's words, can't be told to Long Jun that His Majesty can no longer experience stimulation. The dragon god knows what His Majesty will become.

Outside the Longjun dormitory, waiting for him was Wan Cheng, who had just changed the guard, as well as Ding Ming, the prince's attendant, as well as two brown sedan chairs and four eunuchs. The news of his return seems to have spread throughout the palace.

He and Wan Cheng went to the Yingwu Hall together, and to his surprise, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did not jump and run in front of him as in the past. Long Zixing sat on the edge of the teak table, still looking at him with clear eyes, a faint smile on his face.

The crown prince is deliberately controlling himself, he is still a child, but more like a king than ever.

"Teacher, will you tell me?" there was a faint expectation in the prince's eyes.

"Your Highness, what do you want to know?"

"All. If you will say. "The prince is waiting.

Yu Jian thought about it for a while, and told the destination and final result of this mission, including the whole process of meeting Agaza. As he spoke, Long Zixing's expression changed from expectation to worry, from worry to surprise, and from surprise to worry, and finally lowered his head and returned to contemplation.

His intuition told him that the prince also had something to say to him, and it was something very important.

"Green iron, they're mining green iron. Long Zixing muttered, "The nomadic tide is coming?"

"Your Highness, this is not yet certain. But the barbarians gathered outside the dragon walls. When Yu Jian returned to Jinbao, Qin Ming, who had brought back the information of the barbarians, had already left again.

"Teacher, what do you think Gaza is talking about, and what kind of storm is it that affects the whole world?"

"It's not going to be a nomadic wave. It will affect our country, as well as the kingdom of Kamon in Etta, but it will not cross the ocean. I can't understand what he said or did. If he had thought, I would have perished in the wasteland. There was a faint sense of frustration in his heart.

"Don't think about that, we'll find out sooner or later. But Yuan Dawei ...... It's Yuan Dawei again. Recently, the two chief imperial doctors were both recommended by Yuan Dawei to enter the palace. He did a lot for his father's recovery, and it seems so. But everything he did didn't have the effect it should have. Teacher, don't you think it's a little strange?"

Not surprising. Qin Wei had already reminded him. Everyone knows how risky it is to go deep into the wasteland and climb Storm Mountain, and everyone can imagine who is the most likely candidate once Dragon Jun decides to send someone north. If Yuan Dawei really has other plans...... Is that really the case?

"If there is a problem here, what is Yuan Dawei doing this for?" he seemed to ask the prince, and he seemed to ask himself. But there is no answer to either.

Wan Cheng, who had been silent, spoke: "If he does this, who will benefit from it?"

It is impossible for Yuan Dawei to replace His Majesty, the people of the Long family will be blessed by the Dragon God every hundred years, and the boxers will not approve of others.

"Lately, I've always felt a faint shadow in my heart, and those shadows make me feel that something is wrong. In the past, my father's body had always been very healthy, his life was very regular, and his diet was well controlled. The prince frowned.

Think like an adult. "Your Highness, what have you discovered?"

The crown prince shook his head, "Not yet." Teacher, in fact, Cheng Feng didn't really have something at home, so I sent him out to investigate some information about the previous imperial doctor. You've been with An Qing for so long, don't you think there's something wrong with him?"

"He has been diligent, preparing prescriptions day and night, and rarely comes home. "Anqing is really devoted to his work, and in the six months since he took office, he has spent most of his time in the side hall. However, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince obviously does not think so.

"I'm going to get his herbs, and then I'll find a connoisseur and test them. The prince said, "You should be able to get those herbs from his room, it's easy." ”

Wan Cheng said: "Your Highness, if An Qing really has a problem, Your Majesty thinks that I am afraid that I will not find anything in the side hall." The medicinal materials in the side hall can be accessed by many people. ”

"Well, you have a point. Then go to his house and get it?"

Anqing doesn't go home often, and his wife brings things over from time to time, all of which are packed in bamboo baskets, which contain the meals she cooks, some daily necessities, and maybe other things. If His Royal Highness wants to check, he starts with the bamboo basket. As for his home, you can also go and see it. Wan Cheng looked at Yu Jian, "But it's inconvenient for our Longjun guards to do this kind of thing, so we have to find someone else." ”

"Who is suitable?" Wan Cheng said, and the prince nodded frequently. The advice of the old guard, indeed, cannot be ignored.

"The Golden Needle Society. Wan Cheng gently spit out these three words
