Nie Feng's smile suddenly froze, Mei Changsu also sighed, only Li Gang looked confused.
"Is there anything more important than detoxification? What is it?"
Mei Changsu glanced at Li Gang and said, "Can you please stop interrupting?"
Li Gang looked aggrieved: "I'm just asking out of curiosity."
Zhou Chen asked Mei Changsu: "Do you think now is the right time? Will it affect your plan?"
Nie Feng also looked at Mei Changsu. Although he didn't know what Mei Changsu's plan was, he didn't want to affect Mei Changsu's plan because of his own affairs.
Mei Changsu did not answer immediately. He pondered at first, but soon noticed the expectation in Nie Feng's eyes, so he made a decision.
"It doesn't matter. With you here, Brother Nie, Sister Dong will understand everything. She is a trustworthy person. Maybe she can be of great help to our plans in the future."
"Ah, ah, um..." Nie Feng gestured with his hands, trying to express what he meant.
Mei Changsu comforted him, "It's really okay, Brother Nie. You and Sister Dong have been separated for twelve years. It's time to reunite."
He had always wanted such a reunion, but he knew that he was no longer qualified.
"However, Brother Nie, your meeting with Sister Dong must be kept absolutely confidential. I hope you can understand me."
Nie Feng nodded frantically. He was willing to do anything as long as it allowed him to see his wife whom he hadn't seen for twelve years.
Although he had followed Xia Dong to the capital before, he had never gotten close to Xia Dong and only dared to look at him from afar.
After being happy, his mood suddenly became depressed, and Mei Changsu saw his concerns.
"Brother Nie, don't worry. Sister Dong loves you deeply and is a rare and extraordinary woman in the world. I believe that no matter what you become, she will not care. As long as she can see you, she will be very happy."
"Well!"
Nie Feng also knew that his wife was loyal to him, but the way he was now was indeed different from that of ordinary people, and he was really afraid that his wife would not be able to accept it.
Zhou Chen asked: "Then how do we arrange for them to meet?"
Mei Changsu said in a deep voice: "Brother Nie cannot go out, so we can only let Sister Dong come here, and we cannot alert anyone. This matter can only be handed over to you, Xiaochen, you cannot tell her the truth directly, you have to lead Sister Dong here."
"Can't I capture you?"
Mei Changsu didn't need to say anything now. Nie Feng shouted anxiously, causing several people to burst out laughing. Only then did Nie Feng realize that Zhou Chen was teasing him.
Nie Feng had a strange look in his eyes. He remembered that Zhou Chen’s personality twelve years ago didn’t seem to be like this.
But looking at the Xiao Shu who has become now, it doesn’t seem so strange that Zhou Chen has undergone these changes.
Zhou Chen straightened his expression and said to Nie Feng, "Brother Nie, give me your cards. If we want to lure Sister Dong here without alerting anyone, using your name is the safest choice."
Nie Feng took off his card without any hesitation and prepared to hand it to Zhou Chen, but Mei Changsu suddenly took it.
Looking at this familiar hand card, Mei Changsu had a complicated expression. This was the symbol of the Red Flame Army. Every soldier in the Red Flame Army had this hand card, but the cards he and Zhou Chen had were lost in the battle at Meiling.
After stroking it for a long time, Mei Changsu handed Nie Feng's cards to Zhou Chen.
"Let's go in the evening."
"Ah."
Mei Changsu asked Li Gang to call Doctor Yan over to help take Nie Feng's pulse, but unfortunately, Nie Feng's pulse was disordered, and even a genius doctor like Doctor Yan frowned.
Finally, Doctor Yan shook his head and said, "The situation is very bad. After twelve years, the fire and cold poison has already attacked his heart. If you want to completely cure him, you can only treat him the same way you did back then. I don't have the ability to do that. I can only prescribe medicine to help him regulate his body. After his body recovers a little, I will consider detoxification."
This result was not unexpected to Zhou Chen and the others. The fire and cold poison that Nie Feng was infected with might not be as severe as that of Zhou Chen and Mei Changsu, but twelve years had passed after all, and the poison had already penetrated deep into his bone marrow, making it no easier to treat than it was for them.
Zhou Chen and Mei Changsu were less than 20 years old at the time, and their physical fitness was much better than Nie Feng's current one, but even so, it took them a long time to recover.
Nie Feng is almost forty years old now. No matter whether he completely detoxifies himself or chooses to retain some control, he will definitely not recover as fast as Zhou Chen and Mei Changsu.
Mei Changsu was in a particularly good mood today. He stayed in the room all day, telling Nie Feng about what had happened over the years and the purpose of his and others' coming to the capital.
Nie Feng is the deputy general of the Red Flame Army, the right-hand man of his father Lin Xie, and the elder brother who has watched him grow up. They are not just brothers, but brothers in life and death, so he trusts Nie Feng unconditionally and naturally would not hide these things.
The moon was dim and the stars were sparse. It was the coldest time of the year and the nights in the capital were quite chilly.
Xia Dong dragged her tired body back home, gave some instructions to the doorman, and walked towards her room.
As the chief envoy of Xuan Jing Si and her husband who was once a general in the Daliang army, her family background can be said to be among the upper class in Daliang, so her family yard is naturally very large.
Although the mansion was big, she could not feel any warmth. The place of happiness in the past was now a place of spiritual sustenance for her. Only here could she feel as if her husband was still by her side.
In fact, she was often busy with official business in Xuan Jing Si. If it was very late, she would not come back and would stay in Xuan Jing Si.
But as the year drew to a close, even though it was late, she still wanted to return to her home.
He walked into the room, took off his cloak and was about to hang it up when his expression suddenly changed.
"Who?"
With a low growl, she drew out the short blade at her waist and turned to look deep into the dark room.
"Master Xia, don't be so nervous. It would be bad if you alarm the servants in the mansion."
An unfamiliar male voice sounded, causing Xia Dong's body to tense instantly. He looked towards the source of the voice with a serious expression.
She remained extremely vigilant, and there was actually someone hiding in her house, and she didn't realize it until she entered the house. This hiding ability was too terrifying. If it was an assassin, she might really lose her life.
As she watched nervously, she saw a figure that seemed to blend into the darkness, slowly appearing in front of her with light steps, and then she saw a mask.
"Rakshasa, the deputy leader of Jiangzuo League is actually you?"
Xia Dong was surprised. She had never expected that the person who would appear in front of her would be a Rakshasa. No wonder no one in her house could find her.
"I knew that Mei Changsu had some unspeakable secret in coming to the capital. What was his purpose in sending him to find me?"
She was also a person with great martial arts skills, so she could naturally feel that Zhou Chen had no murderous intent, so he definitely was not here to kill her. Since he was not here to kill anyone, he must have other purposes.
Seeing that Xia Dong showed no fear, Zhou Chen praised: "Lady Xia remained calm in the face of danger. She is indeed a heroine."
Xia Dong snorted coldly: "I don't know you well, stop talking nonsense and just tell me your purpose."
"Not familiar? You=That's not entirely true."
Zhou Chen chuckled. Although he and Xia Dong were not as close as Lin Shu, they knew each other and could definitely be considered acquaintances.
"Lord Xia, I am not here with hostility. Take a look at this first, and perhaps you will change your mind."
As he said that, he suddenly threw the cards he had taken from Nie Feng to Xia Dong.
Xia Dong was not afraid. When the cards flew in front of her, she reached out and grabbed them, then glanced around.
Just one glance and she was stunned, then her face was full of disbelief.
"Hey, who are you and why do you have Brother Feng's hand cards?"
Twelve years ago, Xie Yu brought back only half a corpse, but not Nie Feng's cards.
After twelve years, Nie Feng's cards suddenly appeared in Luosha's hand, which shocked her.
Zhou Chen said, "Master Xia, please don't be so loud. It would be bad if you disturb others. What do you think?"
Xia Dong held Nie Feng's hand tightly, trying to force herself to calm down, but found that she couldn't calm down at all. However, she still listened to Zhou Chen's words and lowered her voice.
"Where on earth did you find my husband's hand?"
Zhou Chen said: "The Red Flame Army's hand card is proof of identity for everyone in the Red Flame Army. Even in the face of death, they will not easily abandon it."
Xia Dong's expression changed drastically: "Red Flame Rebels? You know my husband? Who are you?"
"If you want to know the answer, come with me. I'm only allowing you to come alone. I wonder if Lord Xia has the courage to do so?"
Zhou Chen took a step forward, walked past Xia Dong and came to the door. During this process, Xia Dong's expression kept changing, but in the end he did not make a move.
Seeing Zhou Chen suddenly use his lightness skills to jump onto the wall, Xia Dong showed determination, no longer hesitated, and followed him.
Xia Dong followed Zhou Chen all the way. She was surprised to find that this Rakshasa was so familiar with everything and had perfectly avoided all the night watchmen, as if he had memorized everything by heart.
"Jiangzuo League, Mei Changsu, Luosha, their purpose of coming to the capital is definitely not simple."
With such doubts and solemnity, she found Zhou Chen stopped at a house in Changzhifang.
Xia Dong was not very surprised when he saw this mansion. As he expected, the person who wanted to see her must be the talented Mei Changsu who had recently stirred up the situation in the capital.
Zhou Chen landed directly in front of Mei Changsu's house, followed closely by Xia Dong. Then she saw someone walking out of the house. It was Mei Changsu and his guards.
"Please don't blame me for asking Lord Xia Dong to come over so late at night."
Xia Dong snorted coldly: "Humph, Mr. Su is really capable. If you want to see me, you can do it during the day. Why do you have to choose this time? But no matter what your purpose is, it is impossible to achieve it with me."
Mei Changsu felt a little embarrassed before he could say a few words when Xia Dong responded to him.
Zhou Chen suddenly said, "Master Xia, please don't be so sure. You may be the one who needs help later."
Xia Dong showed disdain on his face: "I am an official appointed by the court, why would I beg you for help?"
"That's not certain."
Mei Changsu found it funny when he saw Zhou Chen and Xia Dong starting to talk nonsense, but he still stopped them and said, "Come on, Xiaochen, stop talking nonsense."
Xia Dong looked at Zhou Chen strangely. She always felt that there was something strange between Mei Changsu and Zhou Chen, but before she could think about it, Mei Changsu spoke again.
"Master Xia, there is someone you must want to see. Please follow me."
Xia Dong's eyes flickered. He didn't know what Mei Changsu meant, but when he saw Mei Changsu and Zhou Chen walked into the house, he no longer hesitated and followed them into the house.
Although it was night, the lights were on in the room. It was dim but one could still clearly see the furnishings inside.
As soon as Xia Dong walked into the house, she found two other people in the house, one of whom was Fei Liu who had defeated her before, and the other one.
"Ok?"
As she was looking at the man's back, he slowly turned around, and then she was startled.
She was shocked to find that the man had a head and face full of white hair and looked like a monkey, but as she looked at him, she realized something was wrong.
Why does this person look familiar?
This outline, this nose, mouth, and eyes, even though they were surrounded by white hair, she always felt that they were very familiar.
While she was looking at Nie Feng, Nie Feng was also looking at her. However, unlike Xia Dong, Nie Feng could not control his emotions. His whole body was trembling and tears were flowing uncontrollably.
“Ah, ah, um, um…”
Unable to utter a complete sentence, Nie Feng realized his problem and slowly calmed down from his excited state.
Although Nie Feng didn't say anything, when Xia Dong saw Nie Feng's tears and excitement, she felt her brain explode, and suddenly a crazy idea appeared in her mind.
She felt her mouth dry, and she called out in a trembling voice of nervousness and fear, "Brother Feng?"
Nie Feng, who had finally calmed down, heard Xia Dong recognize him and started screaming "Ah, Ah" again uncontrollably.
Seeing Nie Feng's reaction, Xia Dong could no longer hold back her tears. She completely ignored the other people in the room, rushed straight towards Nie Feng, and grabbed Nie Feng's hairy hands with both hands.
"Brother Feng, are you really Brother Feng? Are you really Brother Feng?"
Nie Feng nodded frantically. Looking at the shock in his wife's eyes, he suddenly realized his current appearance. He hurriedly withdrew his hand that was about to grab his wife and covered his face. He didn't dare to look at Xia Dong anymore, nor did he dare to let Xia Dong look at him anymore.
Xia Dong grabbed Nie Feng anxiously: "Brother Feng, Brother Feng, what's wrong with you? I am Dong'er, I am your wife Dong'er."
"He is afraid that his appearance will scare you. Although he wants to see you all the time, he is afraid that you will dislike his current appearance. His inner torment is no less than yours."
Xia Dong turned his head suddenly and looked at Zhou Chen who was speaking.
"What did you say? You know why Brother Feng has become like this, right?"
Mei Changsu saw Xia Dong's excitement and advised, "Master Xia, you don't have to be so excited. Brother Nie is still alive. This is the best outcome, isn't it?"
Then he advised Nie Feng: "Brother Nie, you don't have to be like this. If there is someone in this world who misses you the most and loves you the most, that person must be Sister Dong. Therefore, Sister Dong will not dislike you."
After hearing Mei Changsu's words, Nie Feng slowly put down his hand and bravely looked at Xia Dong again. He found that there was shock and disbelief in his wife's eyes, but there was indeed no fear.
"Ah, ah..."
Seeing that Nie Feng was the same as before, unable to speak, Xia Dong asked anxiously, "Brother Feng, what's wrong with you?"
But Nie Feng could only say "ah ah ah" and was unable to say anything else. Anxiously, he could only look at Mei Changsu and Zhou Chen. Xia Dong now came to his senses a little and realized that these two people must know the inside story.
"What happened to Brother Feng? Why can't he speak? Why did he become like this?"
Mei Changsu explained softly, "Because Big Brother Nie was poisoned by the fire and cold poison, his tongue became stiff and he couldn't speak. In addition, his entire body was covered with white hair that couldn't be eradicated. That's why he became like this. And because of this, even though he's alive, he hasn't been able to come back to see you for twelve years."
Xia Dong covered her chest and felt her heart beating violently, which made her feel both real and dreamy.
It has been twelve years, and she didn't know how many times she had cried. The person who only appeared in her dreams suddenly appeared in front of her again. Even though he had become very different from the past, she felt extremely happy.
But when she heard Mei Changsu say that her husband could not speak, she became very worried.
"Brother Nie, you should help Sister Dong sit down. Tonight is a long night. If you have anything to say, let's talk slowly."
