Dugu Danyang was also a little surprised when he saw his two sons suddenly lost their temper.

"What's wrong with you two brats?"

"Dad, there is news from the capital that something happened to my mother."

At this time, King Xuan seemed to have turned back into the crying little prince, and said with choked sobs.

King Qin also burst into tears.

Only Dugu Danyang was suddenly stunned on the spot.

He was silent for a long time, and at this moment, his mind went blank.

The surrounding area also became quiet, as if nothing could be heard or seen.

Finally, I vaguely heard my second son calling the imperial doctor again.

When he woke up again, Dugu Danyang slowly came back to his senses.

He didn't react too violently, he just called his two sons and the messenger from the capital.

Opening up the letter written by the prince.

Dugu Danyang read it over and over again, wanting to see if this handwritten letter was forged by someone else.

He just wanted to see if the seal on it was correct.

But in the end, after several verifications, he couldn't find any problems.

The haggard-looking emperor seemed to have aged ten years in an instant.

This change is not in appearance, but in spirit.

It seemed that in an instant, the heroic emperor who refused to accept old age turned into a homeless little old man.

He opened his mouth and spent a lot of energy before saying:

"Prepare my horse, I want to return to Beijing!"

At this moment, what he was thinking about was seeing him one last time, but everyone knew that he would never see her again.

It takes a month and a half to get here from Kyoto at a quick pace.

The queen had probably been buried by this time, after all, the body couldn't be left lying there forever.

"Father, my eldest brother has probably already taken charge of my grandmother's burial. The most important thing for you now is to take care of yourself."

Dugu Danyang overturned the table in front of him.

"Bastard! I told you to prepare your horse! Are you deaf?!"

At this moment, no one in the military tent dared to let the emperor in such a state be shaken again.

The emperor's condition was not right at this time. If he rushed all the way back to the capital, he would probably only worsen his injuries.

So no one dared to speak.

Dugu Danyang was furious, "I'm not dead yet! The second and third sons! You two can't wait to be my master?! Shen Han Palace! Han Wenyuan, get out of here!"

Shen Hangong and Han Wenyuan, who were accompanying the army on the expedition, were summoned and soon arrived at the military tent.

After hearing the news, the two people were also very surprised.

They are all top-notch masters, and they all know the Queen's strength well.

Shen Hangong frowned and said nothing.

Although Han Wenyuan was worried, he couldn't say much.

"Third brother, Shen Han Palace, you two will return to the capital with me. King Qin and Han Wenyuan will take charge of the Northern Expedition. That's it, prepare your horses immediately."

The emperor knew that this battle would be fruitless and that continuing to fight would be a waste of money and food.

In addition, at this moment, he just wanted to rush back as soon as possible.

So after making simple arrangements, we set off immediately.

And the emperor was very good at this trick.

It is impossible for all the hundreds of thousands of elite troops of the imperial court to be handed over to King Qin and King Xuan.

So I took the third child with me who can give advice and the most obedient Shen Hangong with me.

As for the two people who stayed in the army, the decision was made after careful consideration.

The second child has prestige, but he can't outsmart Han Wenyuan.

The two of them controlled the army separately so as not to overwhelm their own strength.

Dugu Danyang knew his physical condition well. If he couldn't bear it, the world of Dachu would be in danger.How could he not understand his own son?
It was windy and snowy, and the journey was under starry night.

Shen Hanggong and King Xuan didn't really let the emperor ride the horse himself, but got a carriage.

Shen Hangong drove the car himself, and King Xuan served on the emperor's side. The whole group brought less than a hundred horses.

However, these people are all soldiers of Shen Han Palace, brothers of life and death who have fought all the way from the battlefield.

Shen Hanggong is powerful and his performance on the battlefield is even more impressive, so he has attracted many followers.

In the carriage, Dugu Danyang looked lost. He looked into the distance through the window of the carriage. His expression showed no sadness. There was no communication between the father and son and they remained silent.

When they passed Qidi, Dugu Danyang suddenly ordered to stop moving forward.

He got off and stood on the grassland, looking at the familiar lake.

"Back then, your mother named this lake Fairy Spirit Sea. In front of this lake, she pointed to the north and said that expelling the Northern Barbarians was not the purpose, the purpose was peace in the world."

"Dad, I read brother's letter. Aniang..." King Xuan was thinking about something, but he couldn't say it.

After all, she was his mother-in-law. Thinking about it now, everything still doesn't seem real.

Dugu Danyang's condition was getting worse and worse, and he seemed to have no intention of rushing back.

"Gong'er, the third child, bring the horse and come with me for a walk."

I feel sad when I revisit my old place.

The two sons did not refuse, but ordered the team to wait where they were, and then they followed on horseback.

The father and son rode to the sea of ​​​​fairy spirits. The emperor could not even put on his armor now.

He wanted to try riding a horse again as he did when he was a boy, but now he needed help even to get on the horse.

The father and son rode very slowly, and Dugu Danyun's eyes were full of vicissitudes of life.

"I'm old. I wanted to build a villa for your grandma by this lake. It has no walls. She said that even the palace feels depressing to her. The best place to live is to be able to see the distance at a glance. .”

"Your Majesty, please express your condolences. The child will avenge my adoptive mother."

Shen Hanggong said solemnly.

Dugu Danyang shook his head, "Actually, I can probably guess what Hui'er is going to do this time. After so many years as a couple, she knows me and I know her, but I didn't expect that she would lose in the capital."

"Father, please let me return to Tianjian Division."

"No need. After you return this time, you will command the Jin Yiwei and Tianjian Division. Third child, do you have any objection?"

Dugu Danyang glanced at King Xuan.

The third child was smart since he was a child, and he understood his father even more. After his mother died, there was no one in the world who could hold the knife in his hand.

Judging from the arrangements for this return to Beijing, my father was already on guard against a rebellion between the two kings.

At this time, if he wants to take away his royal guards, if he dares to say no, he will probably be the first to kill him.

"My son obeys the order!"

With that said, King Xuan handed Jin Yiwei's waist badge to Shen Han Palace.

Dugu Danyang's expression softened a lot.

He looked at the north and sighed softly.

"Let's go back and see your mother off for the last time."

Dugu Danyang was having difficulty even sitting on the horse at this time, but he still wanted to rush back.

Shen Hanggong was very worried about the emperor's condition.

"Your Majesty, why don't you rest for a while? Your body is not suitable for the journey."

"go!"

Dugu Danyang didn't say much. After returning to the carriage, he urged to set off.

But that night, his condition suddenly worsened. He kept coughing and developed a high fever.

Although the imperial doctor has been accompanying them all the time, it is no longer suitable for them to travel as a group.

So we camped where we were.

"General Shen, His Royal Highness Prince Xuan, you can't go on the road any longer. The journey is bumpy and your Majesty's condition is getting worse. If you continue, I'm afraid..."

When night fell, the imperial doctor found King Xuan and Shen Hangong.
