It was still dark when the three of them arrived in front of Chang's house. But there was a lantern burning in front of the door, and Fang Yu stood on the steps with his sword in hand, guarded by ten sergeants in front of him. Sui Buxiu also arrived at this time. He looked at each other with the three of them and found that each other looked bad. When he was about to walk through the door again, Fang Yu said in a deep voice: "Everyone, it's still early, what are you doing here?"
Wei Dongshan bowed his hands and said, "Is Mr. Chang okay now?"
Fang Bao said with a straight face: "No comment."
Wei Dongshan forced a smile and said: "We are just here to visit the patients. I just heard that——"
Fang Chu interrupted him: "Mr. Wei, Mr. Sui, the prince has ordered that outsiders are not allowed to enter. I have offended you."
Wei Dongshan glanced at Tao Chunxi. Tao Chunxi thought for a while and sighed: "Fang Yu, I..."
Fang Chu didn't tell her to finish her words, but his expression softened and he said, "Miss Tao, I can't make the decision."
After saying this, he moved his eyes away and looked into the distance.
Qin Le looked at him for a while, pulled Wei Dongshan's sleeve and walked aside, whispering: "Are you really telling the truth?"
Wei Dongshan was stunned and said: "Pretending to be sick?"
Qin Le said: "Either he is pretending to be sick. Or -"
He turned to look at Sui Bujie. At this time, Sui Buxiu was also looking at the two of them, their eyes met, and they both smiled.
Wei Dongshan also glanced at Sui Buxiu and said, "Is it him?"
Qin Le sneered: "If it's really sick, I'm afraid it's him."
After he said this, Sui Buxiu walked over. The three of them bowed their hands in greeting, and Sui Buxiu said: "Mr. Wei, General Qin, when did you know about this?"
Qin Le thought for a while: "A quarter of an hour ago."
Sui Buxiu smiled: "Me too. What a coincidence - a maid in the house went to the village doctor's house at four o'clock to ask for help, and everyone knew about it."
He added: "But Chang Gong is in the realm of dragon and tiger. Even if he is seriously ill, what should he do if he asks the local doctor?"
Qin Le smiled: "Yes."
Sui Buxiu said: "This maid is also ignorant. Isn't this self-defeating?"
He said this and walked away. The three of them stood in the night, no longer speaking.
…
There was a talisman lamp burning in the inner room, and Chang Xiu was lying on the couch, his face pale and his eyes closed.
Chang Qiuwu and Li Boxen were sitting next to the couch. On the table beside them were various medicine boxes and pill bottles, and a basin of warm water beside the table was seeping with blood.
Chang Qiuwu said in a low voice: "...Now that I think about it, it's not too sudden. Starting from the night when I defeated the Xuan Tu Army, I felt uncomfortable. At that time, I thought it was because of the wind, but I also missed my ancestor. How could he be affected by the wind? I gave him two Qi and blood tests to make him better."
"I haven't heard him say anything in the past few days, but I heard him cough a few times. Now I think I really deserve to die... Maybe he has felt uncomfortable in the past two days, but there are too many things that he hasn't told me."
"At about three o'clock this morning, Sixth Brother woke me up and said that I heard the ancestor sighing twice and screaming again in the room. When I came in to take a look, I saw blood all over the seven orifices!"
When he said this, he raised his head and blinked, took a long breath and then said: "I gave him the elixir and checked his body again, but I haven't found anything wrong yet. You also checked just now, and you noticed Did anything happen?"
Li Bochen whispered: "No. Looking at this body aura, I just feel like I'm possessed."
The two of them looked at each other, and Chang Qiuwu gritted his teeth and said, "Ancestor, how could you become so possessed?"
Li Bochen was silent for a moment and said: "Fengzhi, do you think he is from Linxi Lord or Sui Buxiu?"
Chang Qiuwu said: "...I don't know."
Li Bochen clenched his fist and punched his leg lightly, and said: "It makes sense that Li Shengyi asked someone to do this to my grandfather. He wanted to cut off my arms. It also makes sense that Sui Buxiu did this. He wanted to give Sui There is no fault in paving the way. But at this moment, no one can explain it."
At this time there was a knock on the door. I heard Zhao Bo say outside the door: "Junhou, Linxijun's people and that Sui Gongzi are all outside the house and want to come in. General Fang stopped them."
Li Boxen said: "Tell him to continue to stop me."
Zhao Bo said: "Yes."
After he walked away, Chang Qiuwu said, "I'll go to Houcheng when it gets up."
Li Boxen was about to speak, but he heard the person on the couch whisper: "Don't go."
The two of them were stunned for a moment, then saw Chang Xiu opening his eyes and letting out a long breath. Chang Qiuwu blinked and shed two tears. He threw himself to the bed and cried: "Ancestor, you are awake!"
Li Boxen was also moved by the fact that he, a man of several decades, was crying like this. But he knew that he was not as sad as Chang Qiuwu, not even as sad as when Xiaoman left. He knew that he should be as decent as Chang Qiuwu at this time, but he couldn't even squeeze out a tear, he just felt his chest was heavy and heavy. This feeling made him feel a little guilty, so he could only grit his teeth and said, "Grandpa, how do you feel now?"
Chang Xiu didn't raise his hand, but moved his fingers and said, "The deadline has come."
Li Bochen had been prepared in his heart, but after hearing this sentence, he still felt as if a knife had been inserted into his chest, causing sharp and rapid pain. He said solemnly: "How could it be?"
Chang Xiu breathed a sigh of relief and said: "I have become possessed. Alas, there is a deadline. People can predict it. How can it be the deadline? Don't feel bad for the two of you... Didn't I say before that my life is about to end?"
After resting for a while, he pressed his finger on Chang Qiuwu's arm and said, "Don't cry anymore...just listen to me."
Chang Qiuwu hummed twice, pushed himself up from the couch, and wiped his face.
Then I heard Chang Xiu say: "My body is gradually exhausted, and the three flowers are about to wither. After the New Year, I feel something is wrong, and I thought I could survive another five or six years."
"...I haven't been feeling very well these past few days. I drank some wine last night and suffered some wind. I wanted to do a few more Qi and blood tests at night, but somehow my Qi went astray. It's not a big deal, but this Icha was about to catch up with my asthma attack, and it would be irreversible if I didn't pay attention."
After saying this, he coughed a few times and the corners of his mouth were filled with blood. Chang Qiuwu wiped it off with his hand with a trembling handkerchief, and Li Boxen said, "Grandpa, are you really just obsessed?"
Chang Xiu looked at him for a while, not knowing what he was thinking, then slowly turned to look at Chang Qiuwu, and then said: "Are you afraid that the people from Linxi Junhe and Chebeigong did it? Alas, I know it myself, it’s not the case. It’s just an obsession.”
He smiled again: "It's a disaster to have something happen to me at this juncture. But since it's already a disaster... we can't let it get worse. You two, listen up... don't let people from outside come in, let them guess each other. . A few more days of guessing will give you a few more days of preparation. Bochen, you are lucky..."
Li Bochen immediately said: "Grandpa, I know. I have been guarding you these days. If someone comes to seduce me, I will beat him away! Isn't Gao Yi still outside? He should have something to do, right? So many of your former disciples are old, so I asked Gao Yi to ask them to find a solution!"
Chang Xiu sighed and said, "You can't ask Yin Chai to hook me away. But it's not to save me, and don't let Gao Yi know about it."
