In a secret room, the governor frowned and looked at the wound on his chest that was starting to rot, his face gloomy and ugly.
His beautiful wife Xiao Ai turned pale with fright, and her hand holding the new ointment began to tremble:
"Husband, your wound seems to be serious again? What's going on?"
As the Grand Governor of Pei State, Ziyu's family's golden sore medicine for treating wounds is definitely the best in the world.
Logically speaking, over the past few days, this wound should have healed long ago and should not have eroded.
"This is the power of Yang Cang's three-in-one sword technique!"
Dudu Ziyu was also panicked, but he was a veteran on the battlefield and was used to seeing life and death. He took a deep breath and suppressed the panic in his heart:
"It is rumored that Yang Cang's three-in-one sword technique contains the most powerful and yang energy. As long as it is cut, it will either die or be disabled!"
"Then... what should we do? How about I go and ask the king to send an imperial doctor now?"
Although Xiao Ai came from a well-known family and had been the governor's wife for several years, she was still frightened and panicked when she learned that her husband's life was in danger.
You know, a few years after she got married, she still hasn't given birth to a son and a half to Ziyu.
If her husband is gone, then this family will really be extinct.
Ziyu was still very scheming, so he calmed down his flustered wife:
"No need to call the imperial doctor, go and call Jingzhou over!"
"Why call Jingzhou?"
Xiao Ai was a little confused.
That Jingzhou is Ziyu's 'shadow', that is, a substitute.
On weekdays, Ziyu would only let Jingzhou show up on some potentially dangerous occasions or gatherings.
Now that my husband is injured, why do you call him here?
"The extent of my injury cannot be known to outsiders, so until my injury heals, he has to replace me..."
Ziyu couldn't help but cough slightly as he spoke.
Yang Cang's heavy knife hit Ziyu's chest and had already injured his lungs.
Now, Ziyu only has a slight cough. If not treated in time, the injury will become more and more serious.
Maybe even really die.
Now Ziyu needs to rest, but now that the situation is critical, Ziyu is afraid that his lord will let him go into battle, so he can only let a substitute take his place for a while.
"Okay, I'll call him right now."
Seeing that her husband was seriously injured, Xiao Ai did not dare to delay and quickly went to the darkroom to look for her husband's shadow.
Less than half an hour.
Shadow Jingzhou changed into Ziyu's regular clothes.
Xiao Ai looked at her husband, whose face was pale and full of decadence, and then at the handsome and heroic Ying Jingzhou. For some reason, a layer of red clouds flew up on his fair and delicate face.
Just when Ziyu was giving Jingzhou instructions on how to play himself and introduced the current serious situation.
Suddenly there was a noise outside the door.
A maid ran in with a panicked expression and reported:
"Master, Madam, Lord Lu Yanlu is about to break in with a group of soldiers!"
Ziyu felt a shiver in his heart. Thinking of the recent situation, he quickly patted Shadow on the shoulder:
"Jingzhou, go out and see what's going on!"
"Yes, Master!"
Jingzhou strode out of the bedroom. Ziyu thought for a while and then ordered his wife:
"Xiao Ai, you should also go and take a look, don't let Jingzhou reveal any flaws."
"Yes, husband, you rest first, I'll be back soon!"
Xiao Ai knew that the current situation in Pei State was not optimistic, and fearing that something unexpected might happen, he followed Jingzhou outside the Governor's Mansion.
"The Governor is out!"
When Lu Yan saw Jing Zhou and Xiao Ai walking out of the gate, he couldn't tell the truth from the false, so he quickly introduced them to his fellow travelers:
"General Li, this is the Commander-in-Chief of our Pei Kingdom, Ziyu, and the one next to him is his wife. The two of them have the same mind, and the music of the harp and harp is a good story in our Pei Kingdom!"
Li Yuanjie squinted his eyes, looked at the two of them, and with a wave of his hand, dozens of Yinu troops immediately surrounded Jingzhou and Xiaoai.
When Jingzhou and Xiaoai saw that the visitor was brought by Lu Yan, they did not dare to resist, but they wanted to ask what happened:
"Master Lu, what do you mean?"
"Captain, this is a long story. Your Majesty is still waiting for you in the temple. Let's talk while we walk."
Lu Yan didn't care to explain anything to Jingzhou and Xiao Ai, and quickly asked them to get on the boat and go straight to the Peiguo temple.
…
Peiguo Temple.
In order to celebrate the fact that no weapons were used, Su Mingzhe asked Pei Liang, who was demoted to "Pei Gong", to arrange a banquet.
Pei State is not only rich in mountains and rivers, but also rich in beautiful people.
In several songs and dances, at least hundreds of beauties took turns to appear.
Most of the generals of the Han army were big-headed soldiers, but they had never seen such beauties before. They were immediately dazzled and confused.
Su Mingzhe, as the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, waved his hand and signaled to all the generals present that according to their merits, they could receive the four dancing girls and go back to have fun.
As the Han generals left happily, the atmosphere in the temple relaxed slightly.
Su Mingzhe was drunk and suddenly asked the audience:
"Pei Gong, is the mansion where Governor Ziyu lives far away? Why haven't we arrived yet? Is it because you don't want to serve my great man?"
"No, no."
Peiliang carefully replied:
"Reporting to Your Majesty, Zhou Lang Zhou Ziyu went to Jingzhou to challenge Yang Cang some time ago and received a knife wound. He is recovering from his injuries in the mansion these days. He probably knew that he was going to see His Majesty, so he needed to take a shower and change clothes, so he wasted a little time."
"Yang Cang's three-in-one sword technique is indeed extraordinary. The injured are not difficult to recover from."
Su Mingzhe said with a faint smile:
"I happen to have a good golden sore medicine here. When Governor Ziyu arrives, I will apply it on him."
After hearing this, Peiliang couldn't help but smile and said:
"Ziyu will definitely burst into tears to receive such concern from His Majesty. He will be loyal to the King in the future and will not hesitate even to the death!"
While the two were chatting and laughing, the Han Emperor's personal guards announced that Yu, the governor of Pei State, had arrived outside the temple.
"Xuan!"
Su Mingzhe sat on the futon and looked up.
Not long after, a tall and handsome man, hand in hand with a graceful lady, slowly walked into the temple.
"Pei Renzi Yu, pays homage to His Majesty the Han Emperor!"
On the way, Lu Yan had already told Jingzhou and Xiaoai about the situation of King Pei's surrender to Han.
Only then did Jingzhou and Xiaoai appear calmly.
"The Governor is exempt from the gift!"
Su Mingzhe laughed and tried hard not to let his eyes fall on Xiao Ai's slender figure.
"I heard from Pei Gong before that the Governor challenged Yang Cang a few days ago and was stabbed. I wonder how the Governor is recovering from his injuries?"
Jingzhou didn't expect that Su Mingzhe, the Han emperor, would care so much about 'himself', so he immediately answered cautiously:
"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. It's just a slight stab wound and it's no problem."
"It's okay."
After hearing this, Su Mingzhe patted the golden sore medicine on the table with a look of pity and said:
"Before I led my troops to attack Jingzhou, I heard that Yang Cang's three-in-one sword technique was extremely strong and Yang. If he were to cut him down, he would either die or be maimed. It would be absolutely unreasonable. In order to take precautions, I ordered someone to make a preparation.
I got a special kind of golden sore medicine."
"Originally, I heard that the Governor was injured, and wanted to give him a piece of golden sore medicine as a favor. But I saw that the Governor felt refreshed, and I think he has recovered. It's a pity that I can't give this favor away."
After hearing Su Mingzhe's words, Jingzhou's face turned pale.
He also didn't expect that he had just attended a banquet on behalf of his master and missed the master's healing elixir.
Comparing the change in Jingzhou's expression, Xiao Ai simply lowered her head to prevent others from seeing the change in her eyes.
Su Mingzhe just pretended not to know about this, and then smiled and said:
"Now that the Governor has arrived, let's continue singing and dancing!"
