The Battle of the Imperial City ended.
The battle was extremely tragic, and six Grandmasters of the Imperial House of Elders were killed!
The commander of the Jinyi Guards seriously injured Bai Shaoxie!
Cao Aman, the governor of the East Factory, was seriously injured!
Demonic Sect Zhitian Dharma King Tang Xu, Tuotian Dharma King Pang Yuande, Earth Tribe Chief Wu Yu, and the three old men were all killed in battle!
Demon Cult leader Chu Kuangren and Tianbu leader Mei Jingfei were seriously injured and escaped!
Saint Feng Chime, Yingtian Dharma King Mu Yingcai and the new Quantian Dharma King left the field with minor injuries!
Three of the five masters of Zhennan King's side were killed in battle!
A total of fifteen grandmasters were killed in this battle, which was an unbearable pain for either side. Although the military still had about ten grandmasters, those grandmasters were used to lead troops and could not be used as regular mobile forces. The imperial court A loss can definitely be considered a traumatic experience.
As for the Demon Sect, the three old men in their dying years are just a matter of course. They are already dying and will not live long even without this battle. Tang Xu, Pang Yuande and the new master Wu Yu are all in their prime, and Shao It is said that they can live for more than half a century. In addition, the leader Chu Kuangren and the leader of Tianbu Mei Jingfei are also seriously injured. It is not known whether they can recover. Even if they recover, their skills will not be as good as before.
After this battle, the demon sect's backbone was broken, and it would be impossible to recover without hundreds of years of time.
To say that the one with the smallest 'loss' in this battle was the Zhennan King's side. Although three of the five Grandmasters were lost, this loss was completely within the tolerance of the Zhennan King. He originally did not have too much expectations for this raid. With great hope, everyone is happy to succeed, but failure is not unacceptable. The real confrontation is still on the frontal battlefield.
The surviving masters from the imperial court felt as if a five-flavor bottle had been overturned, with all kinds of mixed feelings. They were sad, happy, surprised, and angry. What was sad was that their former companions fell asleep, but they were happy that they had defeated the enemy. Attack, I was shocked because the combat power displayed by Li Jie was really shocking. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is the best in the world. I was angry because Li Jie did not arrive earlier. If he had arrived earlier, how could the situation develop to this point? This point.
The sergeants in the imperial city did not have such complicated thoughts. When they saw the enemy retreating, they cheered and their roars shook the surrounding area for miles.
"Victory!"
"mighty!"
"mighty!"
The busiest department at this time was undoubtedly the Tai Hospital, which sent all the doctors to try their best to rescue the injured, especially the surviving grandmaster.
The most seriously injured person in the field was Bai Shaoxie. At this moment, his whole body seemed to be falling apart. If he hadn't been beaten to the ground with a knife, he might not even be able to stand. He said before leaving the field.
"Ahem, Eighth Prince, go see His Majesty."
Bai Shaoxie kept coughing while talking, and he kept coughing up blood clots in his mouth. His Feiyu suit had already been stained red with blood, and the red was almost turning black. There were both his own blood and the enemy's in it. of blood.
"Master Bai, what you need most at this time is treatment. Please stop talking."
"Quick, get the stretcher!"
Li Jie looked shocked when he heard this. Could it be that the emperor had been assassinated? Li Jie was about to ask a question when Ning Daban's weak voice came to his ears.
"Your Highness, please come here and give His Majesty some advice."
The area near Qianqing Palace was surrounded by Yulin Guards and Yulin Legions. Li Jie scanned for a week and found no trace of fierce fighting.
'so far so good! '
When he stepped into the Qianqing Palace and saw Emperor Yuankang, his previous thoughts disappeared in an instant. At this time, Emperor Yuankang, who was sitting on the dragon throne, did not look half like before.
Skinny, with a gloomy complexion and eyes as dull as a pool of stagnant water. Although Emperor Yuan Kang was not in his prime when we last met, he was still young and powerful.
"My dearest greetings to you!"
Only then did Emperor Yuankang realize that Li Jie was back. A flash of light seemed to flash in his eyes, but it disappeared immediately. The emperor lowered his eyelids and said softly.
"Flat body."
This sentence was said intermittently and weakly. Li Jie was well versed in medical theory, and he could understand what was going on with the emperor after just a quick glance.
Depression becomes a disease!
To put it simply, it is depression, and it is severe depression. There are many such records in history. There are such records as early as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. The "Zuo Zhuan" records that when Chu Guozi was attacking the Wu State, Because a large number of troops, land and officials were lost, the whole country blamed Zizhong. In the end, Zizhong died of "heart disease".
A heart disease needs a heart medicine doctor, and to untie a bell, it needs a person to tie it. The reason why Emperor Yuan Kang became like this is because of the rebellion of King Zhennan, but no one in the whole court dares to go there. Explore the emperor's inner world?
It's not that I can't, but I don't dare.
'I don't know how far the emperor's depression has progressed. '
The early stages of depression are characterized by low mood, loss of appetite, and isolation. In severe cases, there will be a series of negative effects such as pessimism and despair, and even suicide attempts.
With Emperor Yuan Kang's current appearance, I'm afraid he has been ill for more than a day or two. He sniffed lightly with his nose and smelled a medicinal smell coming from the back hall.
'Poria, astragalus, ginger, ginseng, bupleurum'
'There's nothing wrong with this recipe. '
Deficiency of Yang Qi in the kidneys is the basis for the onset of depression. Deficiency of Yang Qi in the liver and stagnation of Qi are the key to the onset of depression. The prescriptions prescribed by imperial doctors all use medicinal materials that can replenish temperature and Yang. Based on the existing conditions, , even Li Jie couldn't come up with a better prescription. It's really hard for a clever woman to make a meal without straw.
Even in modern times with advanced medical care, the treatment of depression is still mainly based on self-treatment, supplemented by drug treatment. If Emperor Yuan Kang's heart knot cannot be opened, no matter how good the medicine is, it will be useless.
"Father, it's safe outside. Long time no see. Will I take you out for a walk?"
The emperor twitched the corners of his mouth, shook his head slowly, and then became silent, as silent as death. No matter what Li Jie said to him later, he got no response. Only when he was feeding the medicine, under Ning Daban's After repeated calls, he gently opened his mouth, and the emperor drank the medicinal soup mechanically like a robot.
In the current state of the emperor, let alone dealing with government affairs, even communication may have become a problem. Ning Daban's face was full of exhaustion, and the dark circles under his eyes were heavy, and the entire eye sockets were black.
Li Jie moved his lips slightly and said through the voice: "Ning Daban, when did your father become like this?"
Ning Yuan lowered his head and glanced at the Emperor, his lips twitching: "Your Majesty, it has been quite a while. His Majesty was not like this at first. At first, he just had a bad appetite, and then gradually he spoke less and became depressed all day long. These days, His Majesty the Crown Prince is responsible for all government affairs, and when His Majesty was better, he had already appointed the third prince as the Crown Prince."
Three feet of ice did not last in a day, and Emperor Yuan Kang was afraid that it would be difficult to recover at this time. At this time of precarious weather, it was a disaster rather than a blessing.
