Chapter 66 - Injury of Meridians
To Zhe Keqiu, Zhao Chen was exceptionally important!
"Kang An, this trash! If anything happens to the Crown Prince, I will never forgive him!] If the crown prince is dead, I will definitely exterminate his nine clans! " Along the way, Zhe Keqiu shouted angrily.
"Lord Father, the rain is getting heavier. I'll have someone prepare a carriage!" Zhe Yanzhi said.
"Bastard!" What time was it to prepare a carriage? We'll ride there! " Zhe Keqiu said angrily.
"Yes sir!" Zhe Yanzhi did not dare argue with his father, and anxiously replied.
"Where's your big brother?" Zhe Keqiu said again.
"I've already sent someone to notify him!" Zhe Yanzhi said.
Just at this moment, a person came rushing over in a hurry. Who else could it be other than Zhe Yanwen?
"Father, has something really happened to the crown prince?" Zhe Yanwen's face was also filled with anxiety.
"It is said that he is gravely injured and is on the verge of death! Let's go, we'll immediately rush over! " Zhe Keqiu said.
Zhe Yanwen nodded his head. He was smarter than his brother Zhe Yanzhi, and naturally knew how important Zhao Chen, the crown prince, was to the Zhexiu. If the Zhuo Family wanted to be like the Zhao Family and become a family of kings, Zhao Chen, the crown prince, was definitely needed!
If Zhao Chen really died, the Emperor Kang would definitely ascend to the throne, and at that time, they would still be just a small family of general soldiers! Furthermore, the Emperor Kang trusted Han Shizhong, Liu Guangshi, Zhang Jun and the others. In the future, their Zhuo Family might not even be able to compare to this!
Therefore, they definitely could not tolerate anything wrong with Zhao Chen!
"Greetings, General!" When Kang An saw the three of them coming out of the Clan Rest House on horseback, he immediately kneeled down!
"Damn thing!" When Zhe Keqiu saw Kang An, he was infuriated. The whip in his hand fiercely whipped towards Kang An's body, causing Kang An to immediately let out a miserable cry!
Seeing Kang An falling into the mud, Zhe Keqiu no longer bothered with him. Instead, he brought his two sons and galloped back towards the Han palace!
Kang An crawled out of the muddy water, clenched his teeth, and chased after Zhe Keqiu and the rest who had disappeared!
In less than a quarter of an hour, the father and son of the Zhexiu clan had arrived in front of the Han palace. The guards saw them coming and quickly kneeled!
Zhe Keqiu was infuriated and uneasy in his heart. The whip in his hand was whipping about recklessly, causing the air in front of the Han Palace to be filled with the sounds of miserable cries!
"Father, we need to quickly enter the palace!" Zhe Yanwen reminded from the side.
Zhe Keqiu took a deep breath, he nodded his head, and with large strides, he entered the Han palace!
Passing through the Supreme Harmony Hall, Middle Harmony Hall, and Harmony Hall in front, Zhe Keqiu finally arrived at the entrance of the Dry Clear Palace. At this moment, the densely packed guards were everywhere! Seeing Zhe Keqiu and the others arriving, all the guards kneeled down!
Zhe Keqiu ignored the guards and walked into the Dry Clear Palace!
"How is the crown prince?" Zhe Keqiu said anxiously.
"My second brother is currently healing His Highness!" Wang Gui said.
Zhe Keqiu looked inside, and when he saw the scene inside, he nodded his head!
"Quick!" Send someone to inform Middle Han Area's Prefect, Cao Rong, to have all of the doctors in the Middle Han Area's Palace come to me, to treat His Highness the Crown Prince's injuries! " Zhe Keqiu said.
"Yes sir!" Without needing anyone else, Zhe Yanwen walked out first! Cao Rong was Zhe Yanwen's brother-in-law, so when there was such an urgent matter, it was naturally him who notified Cao Rong!
"How strong is the guard inside?!" If not, then get him to retreat! This old man will personally treat His Highness' injuries! " Zhe Keqiu said while seated uneasily.
"Don't worry General Crop, my second brother's skills are unrivalled! At this moment, if he goes all out, he will definitely be able to cure His Highness! " Wang Gui said.
"Unrivaled skill? What kind of thing dares to say that its cultivation is unrivalled? " Zhe Yanzhi mocked from the side!
"You!" Wang Gui and Zhang Xian were both furious as they stared at Zhe Yanzhi fiercely!
"Alright!" We're already here, there's nothing for you to do here! Go out and notify Li Gang, Li Ruoshui, Wang De and the others to come! As long as this old man is here, it's fine! " Zhe Keqiu frowned, glancing at Wang Gui and Zhang Xian as he spoke.
Wang Gui and Zhang Xian looked at each other, and both of them nodded. They left the Dry Clear Palace and Wang Gui said: "Third brother, you go find the various Masters, I will still guard here! If anything happens to the crown prince, I might be able to help you! "
Zhang Xian nodded and walked towards the rain!
Seeing Zhang Xian's back, Wang Gui looked exhausted but anxious! From time to time, he turned his head to look at Dry Clear Palace, hoping that Zhao Chen would wake up faster!
After an hour, Li Gang, Li Ruoshui and Wang De finally rushed over. The three of them were extremely anxious!
They were different from Zhe Keqiu and the others, they were truly concerned about him! The three of them had the relationship of a teacher and disciple to Zhao Chen. Li Gang and Li Ruoshui had once taught Zhao Chen how to read books, and Wang De had once taught Zhao Chen how to practice martial arts! Other than Zhao Chen's identity as the crown prince, they had even treated Zhao Chen as their own nephew! Now that the crown prince was in trouble, their emotions could be imagined!
"General Crop, why hasn't there been any news?" Li Gang looked in from time to time, and said.
"Don't worry!" Wait a minute! Also, the famous doctors from the Middle Han Area Palace should be coming soon! " Zhe Keqiu said as he walked around the room!
At this time, in the inner room, Yue Fei's palms finally left Zhao Chen's back! Yue Fei slowly lowered Zhao Chen's body, while Li Gang, Li Ruoshui, Zhe Keqiu, Zhe Keqiu and the others who were outside all rushed over!
"What happened to His Highness the Crown Prince?" Zhe Keqiu immediately asked.
"His Highness the Crown Prince is in a bad situation!" Yue Fei said.
Upon hearing this, everyone's expressions changed!
Zhe Keqiu had already quickly walked in front of Zhao Chen. He placed his hand on Zhao Chen's chest, channeled his Qi into Zhao Chen's body and felt the situation inside his body! At the beginning, his expression was ugly, but slowly, a hint of happiness appeared on his face!
"Speak!" "What happened to His Highness the Crown Prince?" Li Gang asked anxiously.
"His Highness the Crown Prince is severely injured. All the meridians in his body are damaged. I am afraid he will never be able to cultivate inner force ever again!" Yue Fei said.
Hearing that they could not cultivate inner force, Li Gang and Li Ruoshui heaved a sigh of relief! To them, it didn't matter whether the Crown Prince knew martial arts or not! As a king, the key was to know how to use people well and govern the country, not to show courage! even felt that Zhao Chen was a little too immersed with his martial arts, so his cultivation would definitely not be any better.
"His Highness' internal organs are also severely injured! It is very likely that I will never recover … " Yue Fei said again.
"This... Never recover? Does it affect His Highness, the crown prince? " Li Gang anxiously said.
"I'm afraid His Highness' mental energy will be damaged. You will be exhausted after only two hours of exercise every day!" Furthermore, the damage to his internal organs may affect his majesty's lifespan. I'm afraid his majesty will not live past the age of 20! " Yue Fei said.
"What!" Li Gang, Li Ruoshui were both stunned!
Zhe Keqiu had already stood up with a smile on his face! He had already felt the condition of Zhao Chen's body, but to him, it was fine as long as the crown prince did not die! As for whether or not Zhao Chen would practice martial arts, whether or not Zhao Chen's energy was damaged, or how long his life span would be, he did not care! In fact, he felt that it would be best if Zhao Chen could not live past the age of twenty. To prevent others from saying that he bullied children!
Thinking about it, Zhe Keqiu even wanted to laugh out loud!
"Master Li, we brothers failed to protect you! It caused the crown prince to become like this! " Yue Fei had already knelt down, and said with a face full of sorrow.
His heart was broken to the extreme. He felt that it was all because of his own mistake! At that time, if he had stayed by Zhao Chen's side, if he and Zhao Chen had left the Dry Clear Palace together, perhaps Zhao Chen would not have been injured! He had been loyal since he was young! When he was young, his mother-in-law had scrawled the word "loyal to his country". This loyalty was to the Emperor, so returning the country was naturally to Song Dynasty! Now, he felt as though Zhao Chen was injured because of him, he felt as if a knife was being twisted into his heart, and wished that he could immediately die, and use his own life in exchange for Zhao Chen's safety!
"Yue Fei, you get up first! What kind of person is an assassin? " Li Gang said as he pulled Yue Fei up.
"Listening to the assassin's voice at the end, he seems to be called 'Free and Unrestrained' … And the other one is called Infernal Queen. " Yue Fei said.
"Who are they?" Li Gang said.
"Master Li, I've heard of these two!" These two are top masters of the demonic path! " Wang De said.
"Alright!" I will send people to arrest these two assassins! The famous doctors from the Middle Han Area Palace are already here. Let them diagnose the crown prince first, and it will be more important for him to recover quickly! " Zhe Keqiu interrupted them and said.
However, when he heard the names Free and Unrestrained, Infernal Queen, he was secretly shocked in his heart! These two could be considered famous people, they were the top experts in the martial arts world, he never expected them to assassinate the Song Dynasty's Crown Prince!
"Could it be that they were instructed by the Emperor Kang?" Zhe Keqiu suddenly had such a thought!
On the other side, Li Gang had the same thought, he also felt that the assassin must have been sent by the Emperor Kang! Thinking of this, Li Gang became even more indignant!
"Emperor Kang, this old man will not rest until you are dead!" Li Gang muttered.
"Master Li, what do you mean by Emperor Kang?" Wang De said in shock.
"Other than the Emperor Kang, who would send assassins to assassinate the Crown Prince?" Li Gang said.
"That's right!" It must be the Emperor Kang! " Yue Fei nodded! At this moment, even Yue Fei believed that the Emperor Kang had sent him an assassin!
Hanzhong City's famous doctors had already entered the Dry Clear Palace, and they were starting to diagnose Zhao Chen …
