Chapter 457
A house in the mountains, built of stone bricks, is tall and tough.

On the wooden couch in the stone house, Zhao Chen's face was as pale as paper, his lips were ashen, lying there lifelessly.

A military doctor checked his pulse. After a long time, he slowly shook his head and said, "The life is ruined. It's hard to save him."

The two men in black standing next to them were both tall and tall, with ghostly faces covering their faces.

One of the ghost faces took out a porcelain bottle from his body, poured out a pill from it, and gave it to Zhao Chen to take.

Another person blocked him with his hand, "Uncle Qihuang, there are three pills in total, and Aunt Huang gave you a life-saving pill. You already took one pill for Brother Huang yesterday. Is it possible that you plan to give him all of them? "

Zhao Chengyuan pushed away Zhao Yin's hand, put the pill into Zhao Chen's mouth, and fed water to wash the pill down.

After he finished these, he straightened up and turned to Zhao Yin, "This king will save him both for public and private purposes. This king doesn't like to owe favors to others."

What the crown prince did for You Ning, if he comes to pay back, then there will be no debt.

It is said that it is for public and private purposes, but the crown prince came to the northwest to work hard, I am afraid it is more for personal reasons.Before leaving Beijing, the crown prince asked him, "Uncle Seventh Emperor dares to betray the world for Aunt Huang?"

At the time he didn't understand what it meant.

From the looks of it now, I'm afraid it refers to the matter of marriage.For the sake of Youning, he abandoned the lives of soldiers in the northwest and the people of the world, and fought to the death.

In the previous life, the prince also did the same.So after the peace talks, Dazhou and Xiliang went through another protracted war with countless casualties.

It's just that You Ning was trapped in the small courtyard and didn't know anything.

If the prince died at this time, if You Ning knew the truth, he might never be able to forget him.

Zhao Yin asked doubtfully, "Since Uncle Huang recognizes Brother Huang, why bother to hide it so hard. If his identity is made public, wouldn't it be much more convenient to do things?"

Zhao Chengyuan looked at the prince on the bed, and said in a low voice, "I recognize him, but it doesn't mean I trust him. Nothing is more difficult than careful planning. The prince has tens of thousands of private soldiers. You know what it means if it is leaked out."

The prince is the future emperor, and he has such a heavy affection for You Ning, who knows if he will make trouble?
Zhao Yin smiled and said, "But Seventh Emperor Uncle revealed his identity in front of his nephew. Isn't Emperor Uncle afraid that his nephew will harm you?"

Zhao Chengyuan walked out of the stone house, stood in the courtyard and looked at the barren mountain in front of the stone house, "This king wants you to work hard, so naturally you have to show equal sincerity. You fake the imperial decree and tiger charm to transfer troops from the Dingbei Army. It is a death penalty. This king exposed his weakness to you, and if you regret it in the future and want to save yourself, you can confess this king.”

The nearest garrison of the Dingbei Army is seven or eight hundred miles away from the border town, and it only takes three days for them to rush to help.

Zhao Yin had a very high prestige in the Dingbei Army, and only when he dispatched troops with the Tiger Talisman, would the officers and men of the army be convinced and dispatch troops so readily.

It is a righteous act for Zhao Yin to take the risk to accept this matter.

Zhao Yin looked frankly, "My nephew should have died, but now he has lived for several months longer, so it's not a pity. Besides, I am a military general, and I deserve to die like this."

Zhao Chengyuan looked at him, but he didn't know why such an upright person would do such despicable things in his previous life, pushing You Ning into the abyss completely.

If he hadn't been a hindrance, according to Zhao Chen's affection for You Ning, You Ning's last life would not have been so miserable.Needless to say, the rest of her life was quite peaceful and smooth.

Thinking of this, Zhao Chengyuan's heart felt dull.

He said softly, "It's good if you think so. It's a redemption."

Zhao Yin was puzzled, "Atonement? I can't understand what Uncle Huang said."

This is similar to what the prince said, he is guilty, he committed a heinous crime without knowing it.

Zhao Chengyuan said, "You just need to know these things. After all, you owed a debt and killed someone."

Zhao Yin looked at Zhao Chengyuan for a moment, he could sense that the Seventh Emperor Uncle was quite displeased with him recently.Probably the reason is this.

Since Seventh Emperor Uncle also said so, he must have done something seriously.

He said in a deep voice, "Okay, let's make amends as a nephew."

Anyway, he agreed to this matter, so he didn't think about living.

Zhao Chengyuan said, "Go back to Yuming Mansion. Next, soldiers and horses from the Southwest Army and Liangchuan Camp will join us. The Xiliang Army is nothing to be afraid of."

Zhao Yin cupped his hands and said, "Uncle Emperor, take care. Nephew will leave."

After speaking, he strode away.

When he walked to the gate of the courtyard, he heard Zhao Chengyuan's voice behind him, "Do as I say, and you won't die so easily."

Zhao Yin paused and walked out of the courtyard.

The military doctor gave Zhao Chen injections and medicine. Three days later, he still didn't wake up, and even developed a high fever.

Zhao Chengyuan took out the last pill from the porcelain bottle and fed it to Zhao Chen's mouth.

He stood in front of the bed and said softly, "This is the last medicine. If you don't wake up, there is nothing I can do. Now that the Xiliang army has not retreated, and the troubles in the northwest have not been cured, if you die, there will be no one to guard you." You have to live in Qingyun Pass."

Zhao Chen's cheeks were sunken on the bed, flushed due to the high heat, and his lips were dry.Still no response.

Zhao Chengyuan sighed secretly, you can't die.

This king saved you not only because of You Ning.

Realizing his sudden soft-heartedness, Zhao Chengyuan frowned and walked out.

Before the person left the house, he heard a weak inquiry behind him, "Border town, can you hold it?"

Zhao Chengyuan suddenly turned around.

Zhao Chen on the bed opened his eyes, tried his best to tilt his body, the veins on his forehead were bulging, as if he was enduring great pain.

His eyes were eager, his expression anxious, and his hoarse voice struggled to speak, "Qingyun Pass, can you hold it?"

Zhao Chengyuan's voice was hoarse and deep, "Hold it."

Zhao Chen's expression relaxed, he let out a long sigh of relief, and slowly lay down on his back.

There was a gleam in his eyes, "That's good, that's good."

Zhao Chengyuan didn't know whether Zhao Chen said "That's good" because he was glad that Qingyun Gate was guarded, or that Youning was safe and sound.

He paced back to the bed and looked down at him condescendingly, "Rushing into the enemy line alone, the crown prince was reckless, almost costing his life in vain."

Zhao Chen smiled weakly.

How could it be a waste of life? Only when the king of Xiliang died can You Ning truly be at peace.

If he didn't try, how would he know he couldn't kill the King of Xiliang.

He looked at the ghostly man in front of the bed, "Who are you?"

Zhao Chengyuan said in a low voice, "General Ghost Face. Doesn't the prince recognize him?"

Zhao Chen asked, "Who is the ghost-faced general?"

Zhao Chengyuan said, "The ghost-faced general is the ghost-faced general."

Zhao Chen tried his best to squint his eyes, staring at the ghost-faced general in front of him, trying to see some familiar shadow from him.

"Gu should recognize you, right? There are not many powerful generals in Dazhou. Who is willing to help Gu like this?"

Zhao Chengyuan said, "I'm helping Da Zhou."

Zhao Chen didn't ask any more questions, looked at him and said sincerely, "Thank you for guarding Qingyun Pass."

"I've said it before. I helped Da Zhou, so why should you thank me?"
