Chapter 53. Homecoming
When I returned to Lingnan City again, it was already more than ten days later.
Marven's injuries have not healed, and he went to recuperate after he came back. Su Yu was placed in a common people's house by Qi Rusong, although there was a letter from Marven, Qi Rusong felt that she was not suitable to go to the Demon Hunting Gate, nor was it suitable to return to the palace.
After listening to Qi Rusong and He Xiao's narration, Zheng Yuanfeng, the king of the northern realm, left the Ghost Shadow Forest with a sad face.
He let his generals return to the north with his troops first, and he chose to go to Zhongzhou City, he needed to tell everything to the Great Xia Emperor and Ye Lao, the head of the Demon Hunting Gate.
On this day, a team composed of more than 300 surviving disciples of the Southern Demon Hunting Gate and 20 personal guards of He Xiao, the prince of the Eastern Realm, poured into the gate of Lingnan City.
He Xiao said that he would also come to Lingnan City. Although he said that he was playing, Qi Rusong knew that he must be aware of the turmoil in the south and wanted to protect his newly recruited "apprentice!" ”
When he came to the gate of the palace, his eldest brother, the prince of the southern realm, had been waiting for a long time. He knew that this was to welcome He Xiao, not himself.
The prince of the eastern realm and Qi Rusong walked side by side at the front of the team, he had several relationships with Qi Rubai, but in the eyes of the current prince of the southern realm, he looked like a stranger...
He Xiao turned over and dismounted. Qi Rubai immediately stepped forward, let out a hearty laugh, and then hugged him. Only then did He Xiao recognize him.
"Brother He Xian, hello. My father is seriously ill, and I have to take my place to meet you. He smiled. You really haven't changed at all, and when you come, my southern woman is going crazy. ”
Qi Rubai when he was young can be regarded as the beautiful man that a young girl dreams of. Now he has become a pot-bellied aristocratic child. A black beard covered his fat double chin, and his dark circles were sunken.
"Ha, Qi Rubai. You've changed too much, too. He Xiao said. I don't know what kind of illness your father is? ”
"I don't know, the illness is like a mountain."
"Oh? Can't any of the doctors in the south see it? ”
"It's hard to put into words, it's hard to put into words. Ha ha! Qi Rubai said.
Qi Rusong stepped forward and saluted him, "Brother, good." ”
The prince of the southern realm squeezed out a smirk, "Rusong, it really makes me happy to see you alive." ”
"Oh? Maybe many people will be disappointed by this! He Xiao said with a smile.
"Why?"
"Huh. Brother Qi, is there a person named Feng Gaowei in the Southern Palace? ”
"There are so many people in my southern palace, where can I remember them all. Don't remember, don't remember! ”
"Ha, then you have to check the details of this person," He Xiao snorted coldly, "This person is trying to kill your favorite brother Wang." ”
"There is such a thing!" Qi Rubai pretended to be surprised, "I must find out who is behind him and put him to death!" ”
"Ha, that's a good point, remember to call me to watch it when the time comes!"
At this time, the others dismounted.
Qi Rusong's sister-in-law also walked out of the palace, and although the princess was late, she had a proud expression on her face.
The princess of the southern realm, Wang Minjun: slender, fair-skinned, and has a beautiful face. But Qi Rusong always saw viciousness and indifference behind this face.
Qi Rusong saluted her, and He Xiao greeted the princess with a smile on his face. Then, Qi Rubai's child was brought forward, and after the formal introduction, he was praised by He Xiao.
After the formal meeting etiquette, Qi Rubai said: "Please come in, you have prepared your favorite osmanthus wine, Brother He." ”
He Xiao's performance made Qi Rusong feel a lot of emotion, how can this prince of the southern realm naturally count with anyone. He wondered if he would...
At this moment, Wang Minjun opened his mouth to object. The reason is simple: "Can demon hunters enter the palace at will?" ”
The so-called demon hunter naturally refers to Qi Rusong.
"What, Rusong is not surnamed Qi?" He Xiao asked rhetorically.
"His surname is Qi, but he is a disciple of the Demon Hunting Sect." She replied.
"Humph! My father is seriously ill, and as a son, I am not allowed to come to see my elderly father? What is the reasoning of this. Qi Rusong couldn't help but raise his voice, "When will it be a woman's turn to give orders in my Great Xia Kingdom." ”
"You, you stinky boy!" Wang Minjun said angrily.
This is the first time in his life that he has fought back against his sister-in-law, and the strong are respected. I am already a [Fifth Order Sword King] powerhouse, and there are only a handful of people in the entire southern realm who can reach this realm at the age of twenty. From now on, I don't have to suffer from her nest again.
Qi Rubai looked at He Xiao, although the other party was silent, he said the answer with his eyes.
"Where's the word, where's the word!" Qi Rubai quietly held Wang Minjun's hand, and she didn't say any more.
So, He Xiao and Qi Rusong entered the palace together.
"Brother He Xian, I believe you must have had a good trip, right?"
He Xiao snorted, "It's very pleasant, I've heard too many wonderful stories along the way." For example, there is an adult in Lingnan City who gave birth to a daughter who is someone else's.
Another example is the son of an adult who does not learn or know, but can enter that private school to become a gentleman. I really don't know what kind of apprentices he can teach. Ha, there's an even more exciting story.
Some people say that Qi Tai, the king of the south, was poisoned. ”
As soon as these words came out, Wang Minjun screamed angrily, "Which dog slaves are talking nonsense, I will cut off his hands and cut off their hands and feet..."
"People didn't say that it was you who poisoned you, why are you so excited?" He Xiao said with a smile.
Wang Minjun turned around and stared at him with his eyes wide, "I am in charge of the Lingnan Palace, but I don't know who poisoned me under my nose?" This is clearly insulting to me. ”
It was really eye-opening to be able to forcibly explain it like this, she knew that these remarks were not groundless, but she still acted like this. If the drama troupe finds someone, she should change careers to acting, she is really talented.
"These are all topics for the after-dinner pastime of ignorant people, and if they are serious, they are asking for their own lack of fun." He Xiao said. "My people in the east also say that if a pregnant woman eats rabbit meat, the child will have ears."
Wang Minjun knew that he was out of shape, so he squeezed out a smile, "Hmph, these pariahs are really ignorant. ”
"Hah! Since you mentioned Prince Qi, take me to meet him. He Xiao smiled, "At the age of Prince Qi, when you see one, you will have one less side." If you are pine, you should cherish it. ”
"This is nature," Qi Rusong said, "Brother, sister-in-law, please take me immediately." ”
Although they are the sons of the five major families, Qi Rubai obviously did not dare to offend He Xiao. Seeing He Xiao supporting his younger brother, he could only greet him with a smile. "Rusong, why are you so outside, this is your home." He said.
"Thank you, brother!" Qi Rusong saluted him, and then immediately turned to leave.
My father's apartment is located in the center of the palace, deep in the heart of Lingnan City. After entering the building, Qi Ru saw that his brother had hired a strong man with half of his own money, and a strange chill hit his heart.
Qi Tai's Imperial Forest Iron Guard stood outside the door, his face was not good, Qi Rusong only needed to look at him to know that something was wrong.
When he entered, the King of the South was asleep. The room was filled with the smell of death, heavy, sweet, and rotten, clinging to the air.
"The prince just drank a glass of sleeping wine, little prince!" The chief physician of the palace told him, "It was used to relieve the pain, and now he doesn't know that you are here."
"It's okay," Mr. Qi said. Looking at his father's appearance, his heart was full of sadness. "What is my father's illness?"
The doctor sighed, "Little Wangye, forgive me for my poor medical skills, and I haven't seen what it is until now." He said, "The prince's illness is like a raging fire, which comes quickly and catches everyone off guard." ”
Qi Rusong's heart was sour, and he couldn't speak.
Seeing this, the doctor asked, "Little prince, what can I do for you?" I don't think you're in a good state, so I'll give you a pair of medicine? ”
"Thank you, I don't need to. You go first, I want to be alone with my father for a while. "As you wish, little prince!" The doctor bowed, then left him.
The King of the South lay on his bed, his mouth open, and his breath was as small as a whistle, as if sighing. One of his hands hung down on the side of the bed, it was so pale, but when Qi Rusong touched it, he could still feel warm.
What kind of disease could make the [Seventh Order Sword Emperor] powerhouse look like this in a short period of time. He ran his fingers through his father's and squeezed them tightly.
"Father, I have no one to talk to," Qi Rusong told him. "I'm so tired, one thing after another, I can't kick it anymore."
He let out a long sigh: "Last night, I dreamed that when I was young, I sneaked out of the palace and wanted to leave. After escaping into the forest, a strange thick fog surrounded me, and I lost my way.
Looking around, it was gray, and I couldn't see a meter clearly. We couldn't find a way, and the branches of the trees surrounded me like long, thin arms, scratching at me.
I regretted it, I wanted to come back, and shouted for a long time, but the sound was absorbed by the thick fog. In the end, you found me. And this time, I had to find my own way, and it was so hard, really hard.
I have always kept in mind your teachings, the strong are respected, and I vow to become a dragon among men and get ahead. I want to obtain the [Yin Power] in [Xingyue Longhua].
Brother he... Although he has not cultivated spiritual energy, his power is too large. If it weren't for He Xiao to come with me, I'm afraid I wouldn't even be able to see your face. I want to say to you, if I can, I really want to take Su Yu back to the Ghost Shadow Forest, have children, and live happily ever after; ”
Qi Rusong lowered his head. "I hope you get well soon, I hope—" he repeated the word, which was gone with the wind.
After a long time, the candle flickered and finally went out. Moonlight poured through the cracks in the narrow windows, leaving mottled silver spots on my father's face.
He listened to Qi Tai's weak whispers as he struggled to breathe, and he was filled with emotion.
The eyes of the King of the South opened suddenly. "Youwei!" There was deep pain in his hoarse voice.
Whose name is this? Will it be my mother? He had never heard the word Youwei.
"Father, it's me, Rusong." He said, "Your young son! ”
"Forgive me, Vicky. I can't give you a name, I can't give you happiness. Even our son... Oh... Please... Don't leave... Don't leave me..."
That's my mother's name!
