"Do as the Romans do, I gave myself a Central Plains name, Chang Shao."

"Next to Ji Xiao, this is my younger brother, Ji Ting."

He Yang revealed his name without any concealment, causing Ji Ting to frown slightly, and Chang Shao also seemed a little surprised, but it was replaced by a warm smile in a blink of an eye.

"Looking at the extraordinary clothes and skills of the two, you must not be ordinary people."

Just as He Yang was about to answer, he suddenly pressed his chest and coughed twice, with bright red blood oozing from the corner of his mouth. Seeing this, Ji Ting's expression changed drastically, and he anxiously took out the medicine bottle and handed it to his palm, his eyes could not hide his worry.

Chang Shao, who had witnessed all this, felt hesitation in his heart, but his expression didn't show at all, he just said with concern: "It's okay, just hold on, and find a medical clinic when you arrive in the city."

"No, my problem is so ordinary that the doctor can't see it." He Yang swallowed the pill, threw the bottle back to Ji Ting, turned his head and said, "It depends on God's will to live a few days, thank you Brother Chang Shao for your kindness."

Chang Shao squinted his eyes, and the amber pupils reflected He Yang's pale face, and the deeper part was covered with suspicion: "How can you say something depressing at a young age, I know a famous doctor in the city, and the two attendants I'll see you?"

"Then... respect is worse than obedience." He Yang propped his forehead, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he glanced at Ji Ting from the corner of his eye, the latter's expression of worry eased slightly.

The carriage stopped slowly in the downtown area, and Chang Shao led the two of them into a medical clinic. The man immediately stood up and greeted Chang Shao when he saw Chang Shao, and said respectfully, "Are you going to see a doctor or get medicine?"

"Is Doctor Zheng here? I brought a friend to see him."

"Yes, you come with me."

He Yang followed in calmly, seemingly unsuspecting.

Dr. Zheng rested his fingertips on his wrist for a long time, shook his head solemnly, looked at He Yang, but seemed to be speaking to Chang Shao who was standing aside:

"The poison has penetrated into the lungs, and it is difficult to heal the serious illness, and the old man is powerless to return to heaven."

"It's okay, I've known about this for a long time." He Yang glanced at Chang Shao's unbelievable expression, without stopping: "Ji Ting, take some consultation money for Dr. Zheng."

Chang Shao came back to his senses, his eyebrows were still furrowed, and he stopped him: "I am old acquaintance with Dr. Zheng, so you are welcome."

"That's so embarrassing." He Yang stood up, the medicine had already taken effect along the way, he glanced at the sun outside the window, and suggested: "Why don't you go to Fengming Tower for a drink, I always feel that I have a special affinity with Brother Chang Shao."

"Let's wait another day. My truck has not been placed yet." Chang Shao stepped out of the hospital first, turned around and said, "If we meet again next time, I will definitely sit down and have a drink with Brother Ji."

"Okay." Ji Xiao cupped his hands and saluted, completing the scene.

After bidding farewell to Chang Shao, and walking around where no one was around, Ji Ting finally couldn't help but ask, "Brother, who is that person?"

He Yang raised his eyebrows and said with a light smile, "I thought you would ask who wanted to kill me."

"Who is going to kill you? Who sent the invitation? Who is that person?"

Ji Ting's face was wrinkled. He woke up in the morning with a terrible headache. He saw the greeting card on the table just after washing up. When he realized something was wrong, he immediately ran after him. Fortunately, nothing serious happened.

He Yang put one hand on his shoulder, with a serious and mysterious expression: "Come closer, I'll tell you."

Ji Ting frowned, turned his head a little closer, only to hear He Yang sigh softly, and muttered, "Why are you still so stupid."

"I'm hungry, I'll find a restaurant to eat and talk."

"..."

Just after noon, the eunuchs in the imperial dining room waited in a long line outside the emperor's bedroom, the sun above them was scorching hot, but no one dared to complain.

The guards at the door looked at each other, in a dilemma, not knowing what to do.

It has been ordered above that during the emperor's recuperation, no one should disturb him in the name of visiting, and the rest of the daily diet and daily life will remain as usual.

But the emperor didn't order people to pass on the meal, and they didn't dare to let people in without authorization.

The leading eunuch wiped the sweat from his forehead, stepped forward to discuss and said, "Please go in and let me know, maybe the emperor is busy with state affairs and forgot the time."

The two guards looked at each other, hesitated for a moment, and one of them turned around and entered the bedroom.

After a while, he came out with a stiff face, shook his head and said, "The emperor said that there is no need for lunch today."

"This..." The eunuch's voice choked up, he was at a loss with his hands in his hands, and anxiety gradually appeared in his eyes: "How can we do without lunch... I mean that General Ji has given orders first, if the emperor has any problems, You and I are afraid that we will be implicated."

The guard was a little impatient, and said angrily, "Then what do you say?"

"How about I take someone to bring the lunch in, so that General Ji will have an answer if he pursues it."

The guard frowned, unable to make up his mind for a while, these days He Yang spends most of his time in the palace, asking for instructions directly on matters big and small, but now...

"Send it in, move quickly."

"well."

All the palace people in the imperial dining room stepped into the palace lightly as if they had received an amnesty.

Chu Ziyu was sitting in front of the case reviewing the memorial, when he heard the sound of small footsteps, he raised his head in displeasure, and said in a cold voice, "I said I don't need lunch..."

"emperor--"

The leading eunuch knelt on the ground with a plop, walked a few steps to Chu Ziyu, and said in tears: "You have suffered these days. Mrs. Shen has trouble sleeping and eating, and worries about your situation day and night."

"Teacher... is he in good health recently?" The little emperor's eyelashes trembled slightly, feeling genuine emotion.

"Your Majesty Tai Tuo is very old, and he has been seriously ill since he came out of the prison." The eunuch glanced back at the door and said in a low voice: "The situation is urgent now, and the slaves managed to sneak in with the purpose of helping Your Majesty Tai Tuo. Pass the word."

Chu Ziyu frowned, his fingertips trembled, and asked with difficulty: "Teacher, what did he say?"

"Ji Xiao's wolfish ambition is clearly revealed. He came back from the border this time just to disturb the situation. The emperor must not soften his heart and continue to let him go. Otherwise, he will suffer a catastrophe. At that time, the court will be unstable, wars will break out, and the people will live in dire straits."

"He..." The little emperor closed his eyes, his Adam's apple rolled up and down, his voice was hoarse as if he was in great pain: "I will not let him go."

"If the emperor has made up his mind, Taifu Shen will definitely plan with all his heart, but the inner guards in the imperial city only obey the order of tokens..."

The little emperor opened his eyes, filled with unknown emotions, and did not answer immediately.

The eunuch was heartbroken, folded his hands and kowtowed: "The emperor knows where Ji Xiao is now. The spies outside the palace just got the news that he appeared in the city's traditional Chinese medicine clinic, accompanied by a barbarian whose identity is unknown."

"That medical clinic has long been within the monitoring range of Dali Temple, and it is very likely that it is a post station for the Hu people to contact secretly. The stakes in it are already outrageous..."

"Enough." The little emperor scolded lightly, scarlet eyes appeared in the corners of his eyes, he lowered his head and tore off the token hanging from his waist, rubbing his fingertips lightly, and after a while, threw it straight to the ground like a blood-stained talisman. Turn back.

He couldn't hear what the eunuch said behind him at all, as if there was a layer of mist in front of his eyes, the people below looked excited, their lips opened and closed, and they spoke quickly, until finally he kowtowed and got up and exited the door, Chu Ziyu didn't react.

His body was engulfed in severe pain, and he couldn't help convulsing and shaking. Finally, he held on to the corner of the table and couldn't help retching.

Six years ago, he knelt on the ground and begged his father, the emperor, to spare Ji Xiao's life. Six years later, when he sat on the throne, he personally ordered Ji Xiao's life.

Perhaps, this is a fate that cannot be avoided or circumvented.

The eunuch over there got the token, and his eyes couldn't hide his joy. He came to a corner gate in the palace, looked around and saw no one around, and blew a whistle. After a while, a man who looked like a guard at the gate of the palace came, and the two quickly After exchanging a few whispers, the eunuch handed over the token.

In less than half a stick of incense, the guards left the palace gate, and the eunuch was about to go back when a figure suddenly appeared behind him.

The white handkerchief covered his mouth and nose, without much struggle, the eunuch lost consciousness, and his legs dragged a mark on the ground.

After several rounds of twists and turns, when the token was delivered, Mrs. Shen was pacing in the mansion. When he saw someone grabbing his collar, he asked nervously, "How is it? Did you get it?"

"Take it, got it."

The visitor took out the token from his sleeve, and the light in Taifu Shen's eyes suddenly became brighter, and the fire of desire burned blazingly.

He snatched the token, the hard silver metal texture was glowing coldly in the sun, Taifu Shen closed his fingers tightly, even if the phalanx was broken, he couldn't let him loosen an iota.

"It's been so many years, and finally let me seize the opportunity, the right...is really a good thing."

Does power really change a person completely?

Shen Yixuan opened her eyes wide and tightly covered her mouth and nose, not even daring to reveal the slightest sound of her breathing.

She already had the answer, and because of that, her heart was beating like a drum.

Get out of here first.

Holding the hot pastry, she felt as if she had fallen into a cave of ice.

Seeing that she was out of her wits, the personal maid carefully took the tray in her hand and asked, "Miss, what's the matter? Are the pastries not to Master's liking?"

"No, it's not." Shen Yixuan took a deep breath, with a look of determination in her eyes, she grabbed the maid's hand and said nervously: "I have something to go out now, and I will be back before evening, if anyone asks, Just say that the young lady of the Yang family invited me to enjoy the lake, and nothing else was allowed to be mentioned."

"Yes." The servant girl replied timidly, and looked at the back of Shen Yixuan leaving in a hurry.

He Yang roughly explained the ins and outs of the matter to Ji Ting in the restaurant, of course ignoring his plan, and only focused on clarifying Chang Shao's identity, that is, his opponent in the customs war for many years, the little Khan of the barbarians.

"Bro, do you know what you're talking about?"

Ji Ting's hairs stood on his head, like a lion with its hair blown up, he gritted his teeth and said, "I really don't understand what you are doing all this for!"

He Yang smiled and said nothing, just picked up the wine glass, but was interrupted by the outstretched hand from the opposite side, Ji Ting pressed his wrist, with a serious expression: "Old injuries have recurred, it is not suitable to drink."

"Okay." He Yang put down his wine glass resignedly, and started to eat. An hour later, he put down his chopsticks and shouted, "Pay."

"Here we come!" The shop clerk came forward with a smile on his face, only to see He Yang pointing his chin to face him.

"He checks out."

"..."

Ji Ting took out the money to pay the bill, but he was still unwilling. Just as he was about to speak, He Yang stood up first, pressed his shoulders, and said meaningfully:

"Again, you don't have to interfere with my affairs, trust me, and I will give you a satisfactory result in the end."

"Brother, do you really know what is the result that I am satisfied with?" Ji Ting raised his head, his eyes darkened: "It's not my father's behest, but you live well."
