On the side, Madam Qi suddenly threw herself onto Qi Hu's corpse and wailed.
"Darling!" You did all you could for the Momo, and you swore to be the Momo's corpse, and you died on the battlefield, and now you see it! What they did to you! You are already dead, and you still want to cut your body open. This is the Mo you have always been proud of! Darling … You died such an unjust death! " Madam Qi's words were like a heavy hammer that struck at the hearts of every martial general. Ever since General Dou Jing had suddenly died and Qi Hu had suffered such a calamity, great waves had already been stirred in their hearts. They suspected that they would be the next one.
"What are you all looking at? Drag Madam Qi down for you, Ji Ju Ping!" Hurry up and do it! " Xu Tianshu ruthlessly walked in front of Wu Bingcheng, his eyes staring like copper bells. His clenched fist had already fiercely grabbed Wu Bingcheng's arm which had been stabbed by a sword, and a tearing pain began to invade the four bones of Wu Bingcheng's body. Wu Bingcheng couldn't bear this pain, so he gritted his teeth and looked towards Duan Xingyi, begging for help.
"Sir Wu, this old man has checked. Your arrow wounds haven't pierced your bones yet. However, if you don't save him in time, perhaps your arm won't be able to …" Xu Tianshu suddenly revealed a smile as he asked with a concerned expression. At the side, Duan Xingyi was well aware of Xu Tianyi's original intentions. However, since he had said so, it was understandable.
"You!" Wu Bingcheng was about to speak again when he saw Right General Liu Li walking over.
"General Xu, looking at the hesitation on Sir Wu's face, I think your diagnosis might be wrong. Let this old man diagnose him again!" As Liu Li spoke, Wu Bingcheng stepped forward, his face ashen. As he spoke, he retreated, but how could he be faster than Liu Li? Before Wu Bingcheng could react, another heart-wrenching pain gushed through his body.
"Sir Wu, you really haven't hurt your bones or did I make a mistake in my diagnosis?" Zhao Han! You should also take a good look for Sir Wu! " At this moment, Wu Bingcheng could see that these people were obviously deliberately making things difficult for him, so he immediately rushed to Duan Xingyi's side.
"Reporting to the crown prince, this one's injuries are quite severe. May I ask for your permission to be treated first?" Wu Zhenjun sincerely knew that if he continued to stay here, his life would be forfeited. He simply looked at Duan Xingyi as if he was begging for forgiveness.
"You may leave." Duan Xingyi slightly nodded. When Wu Bingcheng heard Duan Xingyi's words, he immediately left in a hurry like a rabbit, heading straight for the imperial hospital.
Outside the Celestial Prison, Duan Xingyi looked at Madam Qi. Although he had some doubts in his heart, if the battle continued, he might not be able to obtain the result he wanted.
"Madam Qi, the crown prince is in charge. You can take back Qi Xianfeng's body and place it safely!" Duan Xingyi unwillingly spoke as he swept his gaze across the generals. Then he turned around and left.
Looking at Duan Xingyi's fading figure, Madam Qi finally heaved a sigh of relief. He then kneeled down in front of Xu Tianshu and the other generals.
"Today, your husband shall protect the corpse, and it shall be up to all the generals, and the vanguards themselves. This old woman has no way to repay this great kindness. Please accept this old woman's bow!" As she spoke, Madam Qi was about to kowtow. Xu Tianshu stepped forward and helped her up, tears welling up in her eyes.
"It's my bad, I couldn't protect Qi Hu, I'm sorry!" Hearing Xu Tianshu's words, the rest of the generals were filled with rage. They hated Wu Bingcheng to the bones.
At this moment, Liu Li walked up to Ji Ju Plane.
"Thank you for just now!" Everyone present knew that if it wasn't for Ji Ru's insistence, even if they wanted to leave an intact corpse for Qi Hu, they couldn't openly violate the laws of this country.
"General is too serious. This lowly one has done my duty …" Ji Ju Ping said humbly.
"If you go against Wu Bingcheng's wishes today, I'm afraid you won't have any good results in the future. You can go back to the camp with me first. Tomorrow, I'll hand over your assignment to you!" Liu Li admired Ji Ju Ping's fearlessness towards nobles and did not want him to be implicated because of this.
"This lowly one thanks the general for his promotion!" Ji Ju Ping was worried that Wu Bingcheng would settle the score, but he calmed down.
In the darkness, Duan Muyan couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief, a smile akin to a cool breeze appearing on her face. It seemed that her faction had gained yet another powerful general. As for Wu Bingcheng, after he arrived at the Imperial Hospital, he kept cursing Xu Tianxu and a few other generals. After Zheng Tingze heard about it, he took the initiative to treat him. It was undeniable that Wu Bingcheng had suffered a lot.
The sun was setting, the new moon was rising in the east, and Qi Hu's house was being escorted by the servants as they followed Qi Fu's instructions to deal with the matters of mourning, while Madam Qi placed the coffin containing Qi Hu on top of the mourning hall. The coffin was specially made, and had many small holes that allowed the air to circulate freely, and although the children of Qi Hu wanted to keep watch for their father, Madam Qi did not allow them to enter, saying that they would change shifts after it was time, and he herself had many things to say to Qi Hu.
After everyone had left, Madam Qi closed the doors of the mourning hall and locked them behind her. She then walked up to the coffin and pushed it open with all her might. Madam Qi's eyes were moist as she looked at the injured Qi Hu. In another four hours, the medicinal properties of the medicine would be over. She touched Qi Hu's face, feeling uneasy.
"Husband, if you really walk on the path of the Yellow Springs, your wife will not live by herself. At the very least, there will be a companion on the path of the Yellow Springs!" Just as Madam Qi was crying, a shadow flashed in front of the coffin. Before Madam Qi could react, Yan Wuhen had already placed the antidote into Qi Hu's mouth and activated his inner force.
"You are …" Madam Qi looked at Yan Wushang vigilantly, a trace of hope igniting in her heart.
"Does Madame still remember the woodshed in the Spring Festival?" Yan Wuhen did not announce his name, but only reminded Madam Qi that he understood. Then, he looked towards his husband, only to see Qi Hu's complexion slowly changing as his face started to turn red.
"Cough, cough …" At this moment, Qi Hu coughed lightly before slowly opening his eyes. The moment he saw Madam Qi, tears streamed down his cheeks. Although he looked like he had returned to the West, he had heard everything clearly. This was the first time in twenty years that he had felt Madam Qi's deep love for him.
"Madam!" I've made you suffer! " Qi Hu slowly stood up and gripped Madam Qi's hand, gratitude apparent in his words. Seeing that his husband was safe and sound, Madam Qi was naturally overjoyed and burst into tears with Qi Hu. On the other side, although Yan Wuhen did not want to interrupt such a moving scene, the matter was not over yet. He had to complete the mission that Duan Mu Yan had given him.
"Qi Xianfeng, do you remember me?" Only now did Qi Hu see Yan Wushang, who was standing at the side, and nodded his head repeatedly.
"Qi Hu thanks benefactor for saving us!" As Qi Hu spoke, he tried to get up and kowtow, but he was stopped by Yan Wuhen.
"Qi Xianfeng is so courteous, this lowly one can't afford it, moreover, this lowly one is only following his orders, it's just that this matter isn't over yet, the matter of you not dissecting the corpse is definitely a thorn in the hearts of Wu Bingcheng and the crown prince, my master has thought, since it's a play, we should do it all we can, it's still this pill. Madam Qi, may I trouble you to help Qi Xianfeng consume it before his funeral, but after the burial, we will personally rescue General Qi and send him away. No matter what, you are not allowed to appear in the Imperial City. As for where you are going to, my Master has long since made arrangements. " Yan Wuhen passed the pill to Madam Qi as he spoke.
"This old man dares to ask, who exactly is your master?" Qi Hu escaped from death and naturally wanted to know the true face of his benefactor.
"Like I said, now is not the time. When the time comes, Master will pay his respects to Qi Xianfeng!" It's not easy to stay here for long, farewell! " As he spoke, Yan Wuhen leaped up, fleeing from the rooftop.
The truth proved that Duan Moyan's considerations were indeed thorough. On the day of Qi Hu's funeral, Wu Bingcheng brought his royal decree to stop the funeral procession.
"With the blessing of the heavens, the emperor decrees that Qi Xianfeng once rendered meritorious service to the Great Mo. Although today, he has obtained some small rewards, but the emperor's kindness is vast, and he has specially bestowed upon Qi Xianfeng a set of golden battle uniform. Here it is!" Wu Bingcheng resentfully spoke, then passed the imperial edict to Madam Qi and retrieved the golden armor.
"Madam Qi, don't hesitate! Open the coffin! "This is the emperor's decision. It can't be that you don't even want to follow the imperial edict, right?" Wu Bingcheng looked at Madam Qi with a satisfied look on his face as he spoke in a strange tone.
"Since when did this old woman say that she didn't follow the imperial edict? She's only exchanging my husband's golden armor for that seven foot man's, you definitely can't!" "My son, receive the battle uniform!" Behind her, Qi Hu's eldest son, Qi Feng, angrily walked in front of Wu Bingcheng. Just as he was about to take the armor, he was stopped by Wu Bingcheng.
"Wait a minute, this imperial edict was issued by me. Naturally, I am the one who dressed Qi Xianfeng in this golden armor. This is a rule, don't tell me that Madame Qi wants to break it?" Just as Wu Bingcheng was about to walk towards the coffin, Xu Tianshu walked out from the group and stopped Wu Bingcheng.
"It's not that Lady Qi doesn't want Sir Wu to put on his armor, it's just that I'm afraid of Sir Wu's arm …" While Wu Bingcheng was caught off guard, Xu Tianshu suddenly squeezed Wu Bingcheng's arm. Zheng Tingze had already tortured his arm to such an extent, and with Xu Tianshu's forceful pinching, Wu Bingcheng immediately felt pain as the plate in his hand, which was covered by a golden battle robe, suddenly fell. Luckily, Xu Tianshu caught it and passed it to Qi Feng.
"Nephew! Go and change it for your father! This is the emperor's affirmation of him! " Qi Feng received the golden armor and walked to the coffin. Under the instructions of Madam Qi, everyone opened the coffin, and at this moment, Wu Bingcheng walked to the coffin, enduring the pain. He saw Qi Hu lying inside with a pale face, but his heart was at ease.
"Sir Wu, are you sending Qi Xianfeng off?" Xu Tianshu saw the sinister light in Wu Bingcheng's eyes and spoke bitterly with a dangerous glint in his eyes.
"This official … I am injured, and since the decree has been passed on, I will take my leave! " Wu Bingcheng naturally knew that everyone here was eager for him to die, so he decided to leave as soon as possible.
The entire process was flawless. In the dead of night, Yan Wuhen and his gang dug out Qi Hu's coffin, and casually placed a rotting corpse inside it to replace the pillar with the pillar, and then fed the antidote into Qi Hu's mouth.
"Qi Xianfeng, this is Zi Chou. The brothers will escort you to Pingyang for a temporary stay. When the time is ripe, you will have the chance to see the light of day again." After Yan Wuhen had explained the situation to his son and the others, he sent Qi Hu off with his eyes.
