The heavens start from Quanzhen swordsmanship

Chapter 364: Taking action to save the life of the old emperor
Three fast horses emerged from the Tianshan Mountains in the wind and snow.

These three people were none other than Xu Zhiqing, who had received the order from Xiongba and was rushing to Kyoto, hoping to arrive in Kyoto early and save the old emperor's life.

The other two horses following Xu Zhiqing were not others either.

One is Qin Shuang from Tianshuang Hall, and the other is Nie Feng.

The two received Xiong Ba's order and escorted Xu Zhiqing safely to Kyoto.

As for other people, they didn't take them with them because they had to travel quickly.

"drive!"

Xu Zhiqing rode his horse along with Qin Shuang and Nie Feng.

Now, he actually doesn't want the old emperor to die.

The main reason is that he did not instill ideas into Wenlong properly.

Now Wenlong still wants to be free in the wilderness.

He was worried that after Wenlong succeeded to the throne, he would soon give up the position of emperor to Wuchang.

He didn't know much about Wuchang. Based on Wuchang's personality, he probably looked like an old emperor.

Along the way, the three of them did not stop.

Only when the horses were tired did the three of them take a break.

Qin Shuang thought that the master was an ordinary person and would not be able to endure such a rush. However, he was the first to be unable to hold on.

His martial arts skills are slightly lower, and he really can't stand this kind of rush.

"Senior Brother Shuang, why don't you take a rest first? I'll accompany the master to Kyoto first, and you can come back later!"

Nie Feng looked at Qin Shuang worriedly.

Because she was in a hurry, Qin Shuang started to vomit early.

Looking at his complexion now, he looks completely unhealthy.

"No, I can still hold on!"

Qin Shuang insisted on following Xu Zhiqing.

When Xu Zhiqing heard this, he glanced at Qin Shuang.

"You look like this, can you still pick up a sword? Just save it!"

"You are a doctor yourself, don't you know your body well? You can take care of it here first, and then go to Kyoto when you are well!"

"With your Junior Brother Nie Feng here along the way, there shouldn't be anyone without a good eye who will come to trouble us!"

Seeing what Qin Shuang wanted to say, Xu Zhiqing patted Qin Shuang on the shoulder.

"Everyone's body constitution is different. Although your master and I have never practiced martial arts, I used to be on the road a lot, so this kind of traveling is totally fine for me!"

"Your junior brother Nie Feng, he is fighting from one sect to the next. Do you think there will be any problem with him rushing?"

"Just listen to the master and have a good rest here!"

"Okay, it's decided!"

Xu Zhiqing settled with one word.

Seeing this, Qin Shuang stopped refuting.

He does know what's going on with his body.

If he rushed to the capital like this, he probably wouldn't be able to hold on.

And let alone protecting his master along the way, it would be very difficult for him not to tire others.

"Then I'll stay here to recuperate for a while. When I get better, I'll go over immediately!"

"That's right!"

Nie Feng also agreed.

Xu Zhiqing and Nie Feng left Qin Shuang in the small town, and they rode on horseback again to Kyoto.

On the way, Nie Feng kept having a question in his mind.

That is whether the person who injured Xiong Ba is the master.

Duan Lang once told him that it was Xiong Ba who was injured by his master.

The master was by his side back then.

Ke Duanlang said that the master knew the clone method.

Even if it is a clone method, if the clones are separated, can it still be so powerful?
One clone is so powerful, how high must the martial arts level of the subsequent clone be?

Nie Feng couldn't figure this out, so he was confused.

Also, the master clearly injured Xiong Ba and could even kill him.

Why did you try to save him later?

Xu Zhiqing on the side noticed that Nie Feng wanted to talk several times.

He said suspiciously: "Just say what you want to say, don't make an expression like you want to ask but don't want to ask!"

When Nie Feng heard what his master said, he felt a little embarrassed, and then said slowly: "Master, I heard from Junior Brother Duanlang that the mysterious person who injured Xiong Ba was you?"

"Oh, not me!"

Xu Zhiqing shook his head.

Nie Feng breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.

"I'm just telling you, it's definitely not you, master. Master, you were at the scene!"

"Junior Brother Duanlang also said that it was Master who was injured by your clone..."

Before Nie Feng finished speaking, Xu Zhiqing said with a smile: "It was indeed the clone's hand!"

Nie Feng's expression was slightly out of control.

"Master, is this really your clone?"

"Then you still say it's not you?"

Xu Zhiqing laughed.

"You, your clone is your clone and I am me, but we are similar but different!"

Nie Feng fainted, he didn't care so much.

He concluded that it was the master who had injured him.

He thought about why his master had injured Xiong Ba and saved him.

He couldn't help but ask.

"Oh, you said this!"

Xu Zhiqing sighed.

"Isn't it because you, Bu Jingyun and Duan Lang are relatively young?"

Nie Feng looked bewildered.

What does their young age have to do with their master not killing Xiong Ba?
Xu Zhiqing glanced at Nie Feng.

"Why don't you think I can kill him if I can?"

"Disciple doesn't know this?"

"Why does the master say you are young? It's because you haven't mastered the Tianxiahui yet!"

Speaking of this, Xu Zhiqing narrowed his eyes.

"In addition, you have grown up a lot now. Do you think that if a person wants to embark on the road of dominance, the enemies standing in front of him should be eliminated?"

This sentence made Nie Feng silent.

"But Xiongba did something wrong!"

Xu Zhiqing laughed.

"Yes, Feng'er, you are quite smart!"

"Xiongba wants to dominate the world. People who have this ambition are not wrong. The mistake they make is that too many innocent people are involved in the process!"

"More importantly, killing people indiscriminately for selfish reasons!"

Xu Zhiqing knew that the road to victory would be littered with corpses, but it would be wrong to kill innocent people indiscriminately on the way.

Nie Feng nodded slightly, indicating that he understood.

"So Master will wait for you to grow up and give you time. When you grow up, by then, even if Xiongba dies, you will still be able to control the world!"

When Nie Feng heard what his master said, he was moved and ashamed.

What is touching is that because they are relatively young, the master will not touch Xiongba.

Ashamedly, he discovered that he had no intention of controlling the Tianxiahui.

"Master, I..."

Xu Zhiqing glanced at Nie Feng.

"If you don't have this ambition, I will find someone who has this ambition, and you can just maintain the martial arts from now on!"

When Nie Feng heard his master say this, he felt even more ashamed.

"Don't think too much!"

Xu Zhiqing patted Nie Feng on the shoulder, then pulled the reins and accelerated his progress.

Half a month passed by.

Two fast horses entered Kyoto from the East Gate.

As soon as someone stopped me on the way, I saw the person showing me a waist card.

Seeing the person with the waistband, he hurriedly avoided it and didn't dare to stop him.

The two people who entered Kyoto were Xu Zhiqing and Nie Feng.

When the two entered Kyoto, they had no intention of dismounting and headed straight for the palace.

In a blink of an eye, the two of them arrived outside the palace. "Stop what comes..."

As soon as someone stepped forward to stop him, he saw the waistband in his hand.

They were immediately frightened and separated from each other, not daring to stop him.

Xu Zhiqing stopped. He still knew the location of the palace, but he really didn't know how to get around the palace.

"The person here is Doctor Xu!"

A high-pitched voice suddenly sounded.

Xu Zhiqing turned around and saw an old man with a cold and pale face.

"I'm!"

"You are!"

"My name is Zhao Ming. The prince asked me to wait for you here!"

Eunuch Zhao Ming said and saluted Xu Zhiqing.

"Miracle Doctor Xu, without further ado, please come with me!"

Seeing this, Xu Zhiqing was about to dismount.

But Eunuch Zhao said: "The prince allows you, the great doctor Xu, to ride on your horse!"

After he finished speaking, he turned and walked towards the palace.

Xu Zhiqing rode up to catch up, but saw that Eunuch Zhao was light on his feet, and he obviously had great skills.

He and Nie Feng followed Zhao Ming. They were all in a hurry. In just one cup of tea, they had already arrived at a main hall.

"This is the Hall of Cultivation of the Heart! The emperor and the prince are in this hall!"

"Please wait a moment, both of you, I'll go in and call you!"

Xu Zhiqing nodded slightly and got off the horse with Nie Feng.

Eunuch Zhao did not keep Xu Zhiqing and Nie Feng waiting long.

As soon as he entered, he followed someone out.

"Master, when you come, go in. There is no need to wait outside!"

The first person to come out was Wenlong.

Compared with when he left Tianxiahui, Wenlong looked more haggard now.

It was obvious that the old emperor's physical condition concerned him greatly.

"No problem!"

Xu Zhiqing shook his head at Wenlong, saying that he didn't care about it.

"The reason you invited me here in your letter is to treat your father. Is your father currently in the Yangxin Hall?"

"It's Master, Master, please come with me!"

After Wenlong finished speaking, he did not forget to greet Nie Feng.

"Senior Brother Feng, come here too!"

Although Nie Feng is younger than him, he is his senior brother.

Wen Long led the way, followed by Xu Zhiqing and Wen Long.

The three of them returned to the Yangxin Hall again.

"Master, let me take you to see my father. His current situation is not very optimistic!"

Wenlong is a person who is quite eager to do things, especially when the matter involves his father's life and safety.

"it is good!"

Xu Zhiqing agreed and headed to a place with Nie Feng and Wenlong who were carrying a medical kit.

Under the leadership of Wen Long, the two stopped outside a room.

"Meet the prince!"

The people guarding the door kowtowed to Wenlong.

Wenlong said to them: "Get up!"

Then he turned his head and said respectfully to Xu Zhiqing: "Master, my father is inside!"

Xu Zhiqing nodded and took the lead in stepping in.

With Wenlong leading the way, no one will stop him.

The most they would be surprised about is Xu Zhiqing's identity.

Who is this person, and he is called master by the prince?
Tutor?
But the master at that time didn’t look like this!

Just as they were thinking wildly, Xu Zhiqing had already entered the room facing Nie Feng.

He entered the room and saw the old emperor lying on the bed.

He found that the old emperor's complexion was gray, his hair was withered, his eyes were sunken, and he had no expression.

After Xu Zhiqing looked at the old emperor, he reached out to Nie Feng and asked for the medicine box.

Everyone in the room looked at Xu Zhiqing. They didn't know what the prince had invited him to do.

The imperial doctors said that the old emperor was helpless.

Just as they were thinking about it, they saw the doctor carrying a medicine box. After opening the medicine box, he took out a set of silver needles.

Everyone was taken aback.

The dragon body is noble, who dares to stab the emperor!
When the old emperor's personal guards saw this, they wanted to stop him.

Wenlong said solemnly: "Let my master treat you! No one can disturb you!"

As soon as he said this, the guards who were about to stop him did not dare to stop Xu Zhiqing anymore.

Xu Zhiqing glanced at the guard, then at Wenlong.

"You feel relieved!"

Wenlong smiled bitterly and ignored the master's teasing.

Now he just hopes that the master can find a way.

"My method is called the Silver Needle Life-Locking Technique. It can lock a person's lifespan and let them leave later!"

"After I finish the acupuncture, if this person can still keep fit and healthy, he will have another three to five years of good life. If he still works as hard as before, I'm afraid it will only last three to five days!"

After Xu Zhiqing finished saying this, he walked to the old emperor's side and began to slowly inject the needle.

He didn't know any silver needle life-locking technique. It was just to transfer the true energy containing vitality and then hang the old emperor's life.

Slowly recuperating later, maybe the old emperor can live longer.

As for the good life of three to five years, he was completely lying.

He can guarantee that this old emperor can live for another year or two, which is considered good.

Plus, he wasn't too deceptive.

This set of silver needles is matched with his true energy and then inserted into the human body, which can stimulate the human body's acupuncture points to the greatest extent and rejuvenate the person.

However, as time goes by, this life will decline drastically.

Xu Zhiqing did not tell Wenlong this.

Now that the old emperor is about to die, why would he care about anything else.

As long as you can survive, no matter what you consume?
Xu Zhiqing was slowly dropping the needle, and the people around him didn't dare to take a deep breath.

Did they still see someone really dare to stab the emperor?

Even the doctors in the Imperial Medical Office did not dare to give the emperor an injection easily.

Because if the acupuncture is not done carefully, they may move their heads.

So what they did was to prescribe medicine to the old emperor.

After some manipulation, Xu Zhiqing finally inserted 81 silver needles into the old emperor's body.

The people in the room looked at the silver needle stuck in the old emperor's body, and they were all extremely frightened.

But they didn't dare to talk about the prince's shortcomings.

After Xu Zhiqing finished inserting himself, he slowly let in his true energy.

The silver needle that originally contained his true energy trembled the moment he entered it.

Everyone in the room saw the old emperor twitching.

They opened their mouths, but did not dare to speak.

Wenlong's expression did not change at all, even though he felt sorry for his father in such a state.

But he believed in the master.

After half an hour.

Xu Zhiqing took a breath slowly and then stopped his hand.

"After I tighten the needles, he should be able to regain some consciousness!"

After he finished speaking, he didn't care about others, and then took back the silver needle from the old emperor.

As he withdrew the last silver needle, the old emperor lying on the hospital bed slowly opened his eyes.

He was even able to turn his neck and look around the room.

When the people around saw this, they immediately knelt on the ground in surprise.

Just as they were about to speak, Xu Zhiqing glanced at them.

With one look from him, those people immediately did not dare to make any move.

Wenlong even waved his hand.

"Get out!"
