It was already the early winter in the capital. After days of searching and arresting people, it gave people a feeling of panic, as if the country was about to fall. The people who had gone through the last year of the previous emperor had a sense of familiarity with each other, meaning that another important person was about to fall.

After the fall of King Qin, almost half of the aristocratic families in the capital had joined the nine and nine races together to serve as funeral pawns for the King Qin. This time, they could only faintly hear the words "King Qin" and thought of opening a world of slaughter.

Shen Rui was guarding the capital's defense, closing the gates and colluding with the foreign enemies. The General Sheng was still fighting intensely in the South Sea, and once the northern borders closed and people from the northern borders are lured in, then the capital would be besieged by enemies. Not to mention that in the southwest, there was still the Shen Family family, so if they wanted to rebel, the entire capital would be covered in rice dumplings.

His heart could be destroyed with regards to Shen Family.

Originally there was a thirty percent chance of surviving, but after being implicated with the King Qin, it was still 30% chance of surviving. Those who were implicated with the Shen Family were all killed by the Death Souls, and it was said that the His Majesty had sent his personal guards to Chengdu Palace to kill Shen Mao Tian on the spot.

They had already cut him down, the reason for the interrogation was for others to see, they would rather kill him for nothing than to let him go, because His Majesty could no longer afford to gamble.

Old Man Ji had already set the date of his death, and since the life and death of Old Man Ji was uncertain, it meant that His Majesty was waiting for his death as well. How could he leave such a huge threat for the next generation, not to mention that Shen Family had always been a huge threat to his heart, so killing them together like this was considered clean.

In this matter regarding Marquis Mansion, Old Man Ji had finally woken up on the third day. He was still in good spirits, being able to go down to the ground and eat, Pei Zixi had treated him well and had yet to release the remaining poison, so he could deceive himself.

Gu Yun had delayed his official business for a few days, and upon hearing that Old Man Ji was awake, he immediately changed into a set of clothes and went to get changed into a set of Ministry of Justice. He did not look like he was fleeing in panic at all, and Xie Jingxi sighed behind him.

Old Man Ji did wake up, but the next time the poison struck, it would be a torture to him.

When the old man woke up, he shouted that he was going to make it back to the park. I don't want to stay in their house for that short period of time. Quickly take me away! If I die here, I'll die with regrets … Sigh, grandchild's wife, it's great that you're here. Hurry and send me back!

At this time, Old Man Ji was the largest, so Xie Jingxi could only try to coax her, "Grandfather, look at us, this is our residence, it is not equal to our Marquis Mansion, can you wait a few more days before I return with you?"

"No, no!" Old Man Ji wanted to get off the bed to find his shoes, "I'm going back now, I can't wait any longer. Aiyah, my heart, my head, it hurts …"

Xie Jingxi was helpless, "Good, good, let's go back now, I'll immediately go clean up."

Old Man Ji stopped her: "Grandson's Wife, you can't go back and forth. Just let Pei Zixi send me back."

Xie Jingxi looked at Pei Zixi with some difficulty, but Pei Zixi nodded at her, "It's fine if I am old, but if I go back, it won't be a problem. Since His Majesty has ordered me to take you in as my master, I'll just follow him for a few days."

Xie Jingxi knew that the Old Man Ji had his own plans, so she did not force him, "Then I'll be troubling you."

Ever since she woke up, she had been jumping up and down. Xie Jingxi quickly got her men to prepare horses and carriages, escorting Old Man Ji and Pei Zixi back to the Suddenness Garden.

After the carriage left the Marquis Mansion, the Old Man Ji became quiet, as if he had all his strength taken away in an instant, and he went back to his original state. Pei Zixi knew that he had done it for his just now, and with his current condition, how could he possibly stay alive and watch over his?

"I didn't expect that I would still have to rely on you when the time is right. However, don't feel any psychological pressure. I'm not your master. Don't tremble when the time comes."

The hand Pei Zixi held in front of him was ice-cold. This year's Dong Tianleng was really early.

"What are your plans? I will do whatever I have to do. If I don't want to be my master, I will just treat it as I have forgotten my years of friendship. Friends don't have so many scruples. "

Old Man Ji heaved a sigh of relief on the carriage, "I want to leave the capital city. Bring out all the abilities you have, and just let me live a few more days. I'll tell you some things when I return to Suddenness Garden, then send me off tomorrow. They can understand. "

The old man wanted to leave silently, just like his life of carefree and uninhibited freedom. He had only once again stepped onto the world he yearned for, with no return date in sight.

Pei Zixi struggled a few times in his heart, "Actually, I have thirty percent confidence in winning. Why don't you give me a chance to try it out and also give Xuanchen and the others a bit of thought? "I still need to count on you, elder, and that great-grandson of yours …"

Pei Zixi could not be persuaded. From the point of view of friends and reason, he knew that he should not advise them not to stay, nor could he stay, but from the point of view of family, he understood very well the relationship between Gu Yun and Xie Jingxi. No one could calmly face the problem of separation, although it was only a matter of time.

It was just that he was a little selfish towards those who were leaving. Perhaps he wanted to save the last part of his life for himself, but this kind of urging and persuasion was very cruel.

Tension was a heavier burden on those who were about to die.

Pei Zixi was unable to continue his words.

Old Man Ji smiled at him in an indifferent manner, "Your whole life, you have always been carefree and unrestrained for others to see, have a heart that transcends the world, but you can't do anything that transcends the world, it is all because of your master, you are using 30% of your effort to torture me, what's the point in doing that, you should leave some rest and work to torture Gu Yun, he can endure the torture, I am afraid of suffering."

That's right, for a person to die three days later or five days later, there really wouldn't be too much of a difference. It would just be suffering two days more.

Pei Zixi knew that he had finished speaking. Even to his death, he never would have thought that the person who accompanied the Old Man Ji on his final journey would be him, or perhaps when such a day came that he himself would also be left alone on the road.

Old Man Ji only wanted to give him the small achievement of his entire life, an exhausting life with just a few words. Thinking about it, humans don't have much meaning in this life, it was already difficult for him to leave behind a few words that were enough to pass on to the world, not to mention that most people did not even have a single sentence.

Pei Zixi thought about how lucky he was to have not even called for a master who could help him out of kindness. He should have escorted the old man out of the capital for no reason, but just as the Old Man Ji had said, he was destined to be trapped in there for his entire life.

When the Old Man Ji left by himself, he did not give anyone much choice or a chance to be upset. He left by himself in the dead of night, and when Pei Zixi found out, not a single word was left behind. It was as if he had never appeared here.

Pei Zixi sighed, and returned home. As he talked to Xie Jingxi, he also returned to the palace to explain it to the His Majesty.

"Old mister, he …" When His Majesty saw the hint of white on Pei Zixi's sleeve, his eyes seemed to have been ruthlessly poked by something. He immediately sat back down on the throne in dejection, wishing nothing more than to burn the corpse of the King Qin.

Pei Zixi kneeled on the ground and kowtowed deeply, his voice was filled with trembling sadness, "His Majesty! Mr. Jil, he … "He went …"

His Majesty had a feeling that he had been played by fate. The person he had spent half his life to find was gone in the blink of an eye.

"Did the old man say anything?"

He went very suddenly, and did not even manage to see Lord Gu once. Regarding Second Prince's illness, he gave me a few instructions, and it was also what he said to you previously, so I will leave everything to His Majesty to decide.

His Majesty sighed, "Forget it, I understand. You can go now."

Her hands were unconsciously covering her stomach. The baby inside her stomach was already strong enough to be punched and kicked, but his great-grandfather could no longer take another look at him.

However, things were unpredictable, the child had no fate with him in the end. She could not really tell what feeling she had, was it sad, it was a pity, it did not seem to be like that, there was only helplessness, how could a person be so weak and powerless.

The sound of the door opening forced her to raise her head, it was Gu Yun who had returned. She unconsciously watched him take off his official uniform, put on her ordinary clothes, and go to the washroom to wash his hands, everything was as usual. Finally, she hugged her and put her ear onto her stomach to listen, this time, their daughter really gave him a lot of face.

More than half of it was due to the old man, who had never let him down.

After an unknown period of time, Xie Jingxi felt a warmth come from her clothes. Something penetrated her, and with a bit of warmth, it moistened her heart.

Then she heard him say, "The old man must be gone."

Xie Jingxi heard her own voice that was incomparably distant reply: "Mn, let's go."

"Mn, it's fine if I leave. This is all that I can give you. This is the thing that is most difficult for me to come by."

He never shed tears, and his mother never cried when she died. Old Man Ji said that there were some tears that could only be shed when the flow stopped.
