Chapter 406 The Young Singer's Journey 75
As a result, Xiao Lingchen, like his father, had no interest in the throne.
Not only that, but for the sake of peace and tranquility, Xiao Lingchen also turned his guns on him.
Who would have thought that this would be such a terrible ordeal?
That's so tragic!
Despite his despair, Ye Xiaoying felt a sense of relief amidst his sadness.
Fortunately, he had not yet actually started an uprising, so there was still room for redemption.
Imagine if he had already led the Langya army into Tianqi City, and Xiao Lingchen revealed these things in front of everyone, what would he do?
Isn't this a dilemma?
Ruo Jin, all his efforts were to support Xiao Lingchen to the throne, but Xiao Lingchen was unwilling to become emperor. Should he let someone else with the surname Xiao take the throne?
But whoever ascends the throne will always make eliminating this threat the first thing.
If he retreats, what will happen to the former Langya troops who rebelled with him?
Must one serve the country loyally for decades, only to be branded a traitor and die alongside him?
Thinking of this, Ye Xiaoying could only sigh, "General, why don't you want to be emperor?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Lingchen felt a pang of pity and was about to step forward to offer some words of comfort when Ye Xiaoying directly kicked him out of the tent.
"..."
Xiao Lingchen, who had been kicked out of the tent by Ye Xiaoying, complained angrily to the three generals as he walked: "Before I came back, they all treated me like a treasure. Now that I'm back, they all want to kick me out."
However, Wang Pichuan, Xiao Zhanjiang, and Xue Duanyun all glanced at him sideways and said bluntly, "General Ye didn't beat you to death on the spot, which shows how good his temper is. And yet you're still here complaining."
Although they supported Xiao Lingchen's decision, they also felt sympathy for Ye Xiaoying's plight.
After all, just by putting yourself in Ye Xiaoying's shoes, you can feel the indescribable frustration, let alone Ye Xiaoying himself.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Lingchen felt a pang of guilt, realizing that he and his son owed Ye Xiaoying something, and couldn't help but sigh, "Alas!"
After all, he was a child they had watched grow up, and seeing his unusual silence, they knew he was also feeling bad.
So the three of them quickly changed the subject: "Let bygones be bygones. Now that we've appeared at the border, the news will probably reach Tianqi City soon. You should think carefully about how to deal with that person."
Xiao Lingchen looked at them, realized their intentions, and followed their lead, saying, "Let Xiao Yu worry about this. It's his fault for insisting on bringing me back."
At this point, he couldn't help but think of Xiao Se again, and a trace of worry rose in his heart: "I wonder where Xiao Chuhe is now, and whether he has encountered something urgent. Otherwise, given his personality, how could he not come when he heard that the border was in danger?"
Xiao Lingchen shook his head, banishing the unpleasant images from his mind, and led Wang Pichuan, Xiao Zhanjiang, and Xue Duanyun back to his own tent.
Unbeknownst to Xiao Lingchen, Xiao Chuhe, whom he cherished dearly, was currently on the verge of death.
On that day, under the combined attack of the Furious Sword Immortal, the Tang Clan, and the Peerless City, Xiao Se, Li Hanyi, Lei Wujie, Sikong Qianluo, Ye Ruoyi, Tang Lian, and others were all seriously injured.
Xiao Se and Li Hanyi, in particular, were in a critical situation.
One of them used the Circulation Technique to forcibly activate his internal energy, which made his already damaged hidden meridians even worse. He was now seriously injured and on the verge of death.
The other was poisoned by the Tang Clan, losing all his internal energy, and was also on the verge of death.
Helpless, Zhao Yuzhen could only temporarily use her internal energy to maintain the injuries of the two men. Together with Luo Qingyang, she sent everyone to Lei Men, where they happened to run into Old Master Tang, who was causing trouble with the Tang Clan.
Luo Qingyang remained indifferent to the conflict, his face cold.
If Xiao Yu hadn't instructed him beforehand to save Xiao Se's life, he would have left long ago. Why would he care about the grudges and entanglements between Lei Family Fortress and Tang Clan now?
In the end, it was Zhao Yuzhen who took action and dealt with the Tang Clan experts, including Old Master Tang.
Lei Hong, who was a step too late once again, felt a mix of emotions when he saw Li Hanyi in Zhao Yuzhen's arms.
After gritting his teeth and eliminating the rest of the Tang Clan members, he hurried to the Sword Heart Tomb to fetch the young healer Hua Jin to treat everyone's illnesses.
During this time, Zhao Yuzhen and Luo Qingyang took turns channeling their internal energy into Xiao Se and Li Hanyi to stabilize their injuries.
Seven days later, when Lei Hong returned with Hua Jin, Zhao Yuzhen and Luo Qingyang both looked somewhat haggard due to the continuous depletion of their inner strength over the past few days.
Hua Jin was stunned to see a room full of patients, from detoxification to wound treatment, from day to day.
Lei Wujie, Sikong Qianluo, Ye Ruoyi, Tang Lian and others suffered relatively minor injuries, and Lei Hong was able to handle them properly without Hua Jin even having to intervene.
Although the poison that Li Hanyi was afflicted with was somewhat troublesome, it was not a problem for her.
However, Hua Jin was helpless in the face of Xiao Se's injuries.
For a doctor, failing to cure their patients is undoubtedly a heavy blow.
Hua Jin said dejectedly, "I have tried my best to heal his injuries, but his hidden meridians are too severely damaged, and I cannot cure him."
These words were like a bucket of cold water, instantly plunging the atmosphere in the room to freezing point.
Sikong Qianluo hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Then who else can save him? My father's medical skills are also very good. I can take him to Snow Moon City."
Hua Jin's mood became even more depressed, and she shook her head slightly: "Don't even mention my senior brother, even if my master came in person, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to save him."
Hua Jin's master is Xin Baicao, the contemporary Medicine King of Medicine King Valley, who is recognized in the martial arts world as the number one divine doctor.
If even Xin Baicao can't heal Xiao Se's wounds, then there's no one in this world who can.
Looking at the desolate scene on the sickbed, Sikong Qianluo felt utterly powerless, and a wave of despair washed over her.
Ye Ruoyi, however, had a sudden thought, and a glimmer of hope flashed in her eyes: "My master is Qi Tianchen, the Grand Preceptor of Beili. Perhaps he has a way to save him."
Zhao Yuzhen frowned upon hearing this: "How can he possibly return to Tianqi City in his current state?"
Upon hearing this, everyone's hearts sank.
Zhao Yuzhen's words made sense. Xiao Se had no intention of returning to Tianqi City yet, and he had already suffered such a serious assassination attempt and was seriously injured.
If he were to actually return to Tianqi City, he would likely be assassinated again by those with ill intentions before he even saw Qi Tianchen.
Lei Wujie gritted his teeth, his eyes filled with determination: "No matter what, we have to try. If the Imperial Advisor can really save Xiao Se, then I will risk my life to send him safely back to Tianqi City."
As he was about to leave, Tang Lian stopped him in time: "Calm down. Tianqi City is full of hidden talents and is not as simple as you think."
