Seeing that the figure was about to disappear in the gray, Xu Yun burst into tears: "Father!"
He suddenly reached out to grab it, caught something in his hand, and immediately opened his eyes.
"Father……"
Xu Yun sat up, his eyes were dim, and outside the window was gray and blue, which was the unique quiet color before the sky was dark.
Xu Yun's eyes were filled with tears, and he looked blankly at the thing he was holding in his hands.
It's a corner bed tent...
Was it actually a dream?
But the feeling was so clear and strong... He could see his father's face so clearly!
Could it be that father... really 'came'?
Thinking of a possibility, Xu Yun felt as if a big bloody hole had been dug out in his heart in an instant. He suddenly threw off the thin quilt on his body and got out of bed.
"Second Master..."
The servant guarding the outer room came in with a lamp and saw Xu Yun getting dressed. He couldn't help but be confused - he just heard the second master seem to be talking in his sleep. Could he be sleepwalking at this time?
"Prepare your horse! I want to go on my way immediately!" Xu Yun hurriedly tied up his clothes and ordered as he walked out: "Hurry!"
This dream may have bad meanings and omens. My father may be waiting for him to pass... He can't delay for a moment anymore!
"The second master wants to leave at this time?"
The servant trotted to catch up and persuaded: "Many people haven't gotten up yet. The second master might as well have breakfast first and prepare it immediately for the little people."
Nothing is ready to be sorted out.
"No, I will take a few people to go ahead. It doesn't matter if you are late. Let someone tell Zhou Shilang that I am anxious about my father's condition and can't sit still, so I have to go first." Xu Yun was already talking loudly.
Stepped out of the yard.
This is the post house where the group rested.
Seeing that the servant could not be persuaded, the servant had no choice but to do as he was told. He hurriedly ordered more than ten highly skilled followers to follow Xu Yun on the road. Before leaving, the girl also arranged for others to follow him secretly, so there was no need to worry too much about anything else.
He just felt a little uneasy... Can the second master really know how to ride a horse?
After all, the second master is riding a horse... This scene is quite hard to imagine.
Xu Yun took the reins, stepped on the stirrups, and got on the horse's back.
"drive--"
At first, the movements of driving the horse were a bit unfamiliar and cautious, but after the horse ran for a while, it gradually regained its feeling and became more comfortable.
The servants were surprised and felt inexplicably excited.
Even the second master, who can lie down and never sit up, is on horseback. With such a miracle, is there anything else that cannot be accomplished?
"Second uncle is gone?!"
Xu Mingshi hurriedly ran to catch up to the outside of the post house, only to vaguely see the disappearing figure on horseback following him.
The servant nodded: "The second master must have dreamed about the old master. He was so anxious that he didn't want to wait for a moment longer. He specially asked the young one to stay and take care of him."
Second uncle dreamed of his grandfather?
Xu Mingshi's heart beat wildly.
He also dreamed about it...
"Don't let your second uncle go on the road alone." Xu Mingshi immediately confessed: "Hurry up and ask someone to pack your luggage, and follow me to catch up with your second uncle as soon as possible."
The servant responded "yes" and went immediately.
The news of Xu Yun's departure from the post house quickly reached Minister Zhou.
"It's understandable that Mr. Xu is worried about the Duke of Zhen and is eager to go on his way..." After Zhou Shilang thought about it for a moment, he said, "I would also like to ask Mr. Yue Qian to send an order to leave early."
"Yes." The young military attaché on the side raised his hand in agreement, turned around and walked out.
The Xu family was on their way in a hurry, so it was not an unexpected turn of events.
No matter how non-stop he works, Duke Zhen Guo is destined to never wait to see his children and grandchildren for the last time.
As for him, the really important errand this time was what happened after arriving at Dongyuan City.
By that time, the Xu family will have no owner. If the second master of the Xu family and the younger grandson dare to do anything disrespectful——
Then he can only follow the instructions and clear up the trouble in time.
Yue Pei stepped out of the hall door, looked up and saw the rising sun rising in the east, wisps of golden light piercing the clouds and waking up everything in the world from their slumber.
At the same time, in Dongyuan City, in a corner of the council building, the atmosphere was tense and solemn.
Qin Wu was walking back and forth outside the room, his hands sometimes clenched into fists hanging by his side, sometimes tightly clasped in front of him, and then dropped heavily.
Tonight, the general suddenly vomited blood and was now in an extremely critical situation!
Doctor Qiu was trying to save people in the room at this time. He knew that he was emotionally unstable and did not dare to go in and disturb him for fear of distracting the doctor, so he could only wait outside like an ant on a hot pot.
But it has been almost an hour and a half since Doctor Qiu entered the room...
Qin Wu didn't care much, opened the door and walked in.
There was a strong smell of medicine and blood in the room, which lingered in the nose and made people's hearts sink. It seemed to be enough to tightly bind and wrap up the morning light that penetrated through the gaps in the window lattice, leaving only a heavy feeling in the eyes.
Seeing the miracle doctor Qiu standing up from the bed, Qin Wu hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "May I ask the miracle doctor how my general is doing?"
As he spoke, his eyes fell on the bed. The old man was only wearing his middle coat. However, his trouser legs were rolled up and his clothes were wide open, revealing his sternum, which had recently lost weight rapidly and was covered with old scars. Everywhere he could see, there were dense thorns.
A dazzling silver needle.
Seeing this scene, tears immediately rolled down Qin Wu's eyes.
"..." Doctor Qiu didn't say anything for a while, he just stood silently beside the bed.
Akui knelt under the bed and used a cotton handkerchief to wipe away the blood that kept spilling from the corners of the old man's pale mouth.
As she wiped her hands, the little girl's tears fell in clusters.
For more than ten days, she has been waiting on the old man's side. Under the efforts of Doctor Qiu to suppress him, the old man's condition has been relatively reassuring. She thought that it would not be a problem to last for more than half a month, but who knows tonight
The situation suddenly took a turn for the worse, and he vomited blood without warning...
When she was unconscious, she heard the old man mutter something, as if he was talking to someone. She didn't hear the rest clearly, but she could clearly hear the old man calling the girl's nickname over and over again.
After that, I never heard the old man making any sound again...
"Didn't the miracle doctor say yesterday that the general could last at least five or six days...!" In the heavy silence, Qin Wu clenched his fists tightly and asked the miracle doctor Qiu with red eyes: "How could this happen suddenly?!"
Doctor Qiu sighed almost imperceptibly, and said hoarsely: "No one can say for sure about this kind of thing, and it is possible that the situation will suddenly turn bad..."
As a doctor, you can only do your best.
The rest can only be left to luck.
The word luck has always been the most unreasonable, just like the illusory so-called providence. It never takes into account anyone's feelings, and there is no standard that can be used to measure fairness.
"Seriously... is there no other way to think of?" King Yan, who had been staying in Dongyuan City for more than ten days and making suggestions behind Qin Wu to stabilize everything, looked at the old man on the bed with eyes that were filled with confusion.
