As soon as County Magistrate Zhou saw the majestic Ningzhou cavalry, his legs became weak and he almost fell to the ground. It was broken. It was completely over. If he didn't have murderous intentions, he might still be able to get over it. Now it's such an uncontrollable mess, but How was it going to end? He turned around and was about to run away, but Cui Lansong shot an arrow in front of him, forcing him to stop.

"Why are you running? Lord County Magistrate!" Cui Lansong can tell who is giving orders just by looking at his official uniform. It is absolutely impossible to run away after causing trouble.

The Ningzhou cavalry only came with one cavalry, but it was enough to deal with the government officials in Pingnan County. He turned over and dismounted and saluted Xie Jue. The cavalry behind him also knelt down and saluted, "General, I will pay homage to the prince!"

Xie said quietly, "Get up!"

He was about to give the order when suddenly he heard a loud bang. Xie Jue turned around and saw Fang Chuning falling to the ground. He didn't even have time to help him. Xie Jue turned around anxiously, "Aning!"

He turned over Fang Chuning and saw that the inside of his arm had been shot at an unknown time. The arrow had passed through the flesh and was stained with blood. Xie Jue glanced at the government servant who was lying on the ground with a purple face and was obviously poisoned. Then he looked at Fang Chuning, who had lost his blood and was also bruised. His lips felt cold, and he shouted hurriedly, "Come here, call the doctor!"

……

Xie Jue was not in the mood to deal with County Magistrate Zhou, so he asked Cui Lansong to lock up the people first, and the Ningzhou Cavalry took over the county government first. All the famous doctors in the city were invited to treat Fang Chuning.

The poisonous arrow that hit Fang Chuning was stained with crane crown red, and his throat was sealed with blood. None of the government servants who were shot survived, but Fang Chuning survived and was not poisoned to death. Xie Jue carefully recalled that when the poisonous arrow was shot just now, Fang Chuning blocked the arrow for him. He thought the poisonous arrow did not hurt him, but he did not expect it to hurt him. He just held back and kept silent.

Several doctors shook their heads and asked Xie Jue to prepare for the funeral. Xie Jue felt his heart sinking and his whole body tensed up after hearing this!
Prepare for the funeral!

The doctor said that the poison had entered the heart and it would be difficult to treat Hua Tuo while he was still alive. Some doctors said that his medical skills were not good and asked him to hire another expert. However, all the doctors in the county government office were already in the government office, and no one could save Fang Chuning.

Fang Chuning was lying like this, his lips were blue and black, which was obviously a sign of deep poisoning. County Magistrate Zhou and Master wanted them to not leave the county office and die without evidence, so they used poison that could seal their throats after seeing blood, and it was impossible to give them They have no life at all.

Outside the door, Cui Lansong also changed from the excitement just now to a solemn expression. When he received Xie Jue's letter, he also knew that Fang Chuning was alive. These young generals had a close friendship with Fang Chuning. Cui Lansong was not originally leading the army. He came to support because he happened to be from Ningzhou to Yuncheng to hand over a batch of supplies. After receiving the letter, Mr. Lin told him that Cui Lansong was overjoyed and led his troops to come to support. However, there was a sudden flash flood on the way and was delayed for a while. day, so it was late.

The soldiers in Ningzhou had naturally heard the rumors about Fang Chuning and Xie Jue. Although they were shocked, their attitudes were different from others. Perhaps Xie Jue and Fang Chuning were too close when they were in the military camp, and they had long sensed something was wrong. , but no one thinks about it that way. Now that there are rumors, I feel... it is really true!
Several young generals even plausibly claimed to have seen them, and they had noticed the ambiguity a long time ago, but they did not expect that they had an affair. Perhaps it was because Xie Jue was already unattainable, cold and indifferent, so no one dared to think too much about it. Anyway, the soldiers in Ningzhou accepted them very well. Therefore, even if there were rumors about them in Ningzhou City, as long as they were not too unpleasant, the soldiers would pretend not to have heard them. Some even said that they were indeed a good match in talent and appearance.

Cui Lansong looked at Xie Jue's dejected look and couldn't help but think, the prince is so pitiful. Is this the second time he has heard of Fang Da's death? There was even a funeral held when I was in Beijing. Now I heard another sentence about preparing for the funeral. He obviously survived in Sangnan, why... died in a place like this? Not worth it!

"Your Highness... Do you want to send a message to the Marshal?" Cui Lansong asked softly. If an accident happened on their way, if Fang Chuning died, they wanted to inform the Marshal.

Xie Jue didn't seem to listen, and Cui Lansong didn't dare to make a decision in private.

His lieutenant general came and whispered a few words. They had sent people to pick up the corpses of the government officials. It was indeed abominable to have a nest of snakes and rats in the government offices, but there were 10,000 people in Pingnan County, and the government offices could not stop working for a day. Otherwise, things would get messy, and they would temporarily take over the duties of Pingnan County's general affairs, but they really didn't know much about it, so they came to ask Cui Lansong for instructions. Cui Lansong is a military general, and he has never been in charge of general affairs. The person who is best at handling these general affairs here is Xie Jue. But right now, Chu Ning's life hangs by a thread, and Xie Jue has no intention of handling anything. He is also in a dilemma for the moment.

"This is going to be difficult. We are not familiar with the affairs of Pingnan County. Please be patient. I will ask the prince for instructions first."

Although Xie Jue didn't want to deal with it, he gave some suggestions and asked them to take Du Fang out of the prison and let Du Fang sort out the affairs of Pingnan County first.

He really didn't have the heart to care about it.

After checking his pulse, the last doctor also shook his head, "Your Majesty... the common people's medical skills are not good, and they are really helpless. The general's poison has entered his heart and there is no way to save him. You... please forgive me."

Xie Jue was most tired of hearing this sentence of condolences. Why was his Ning about to die? He has already died once, why is God always unwilling to let him go!

He would rather the poisonous arrow fall on him.

Xie Jue regretted endlessly, why he insisted on taking the jade ring, why he didn't wait for the support of the Ningzhou cavalry before looking for the county magistrate, why he rushed forward, knowing that the magistrate was ambitious and cruel, why didn't he be more cautious and gave away Fang Chuning's life in vain Life.

"Aning..."

Xie Jue kept guarding Fang Chuning until night fell, paying no attention to anyone else. Cui Lansong sent people to guard the courtyard, and also sent people out to look for the doctor. He posted notices all over the city, hoping to bring a glimmer of hope to Fang Chuning. He also I don't want Fang Chuning to die in Pingnan County like this.

Fang Chuning woke up once in the middle of the night. His body was extremely weak. He seemed to know that he was not going to die soon. His eyes looking at Xie Jue showed deep regret. He didn't have time to remember the memories between them. This was what happened. He was unwilling to leave him.

"Xie Tingfeng..."

He really doesn’t rest in peace even if he is a ghost!
But when he looked at Xie Jue's bloodshot eyes, what he said became, "Don't blame yourself. Even if I die, it's because I asked for mercy, and it's not your fault."

The doctor said that he was having a comeback. Although he didn't say it explicitly, Fang Chuning could hear it. He was very lucky that he was still awake to say goodbye to Xie Jue.

He knew Xie Jue's temperament and they had a deep conversation when they were in the mountains. He was very afraid that Xie Jue would fall into a lifetime of self-torture after his death.

"Actually, I died when I was in Sangnan. The period of time I am alive seems to be a gift from God. God gave me a chance to say goodbye to you. Tingfeng, don't be sad!"
