Xia Yuanqiu nodded: "It's done, otherwise how difficult do you think it would be?"
By this time, Song Ning had fallen to the ground, and the unbearable pain made his entire face become distorted.
"What's wrong with him?" Zhu Yan asked with a frown.
Xia Yuanqiu sighed: "The Heartless Gu is a twin Gu. One male and one female are divided into two bodies. No matter which one can no longer sense the existence of the other, the Gu will go crazy and make people miserable."
"Now that the Gu worm in your body is dead, the other Gu worm can't sense its existence, so it's starting to go crazy?"
Xia Yuanqiu nodded.
Zhu Yan looked at Song Ning who was in agony, and thought about just walking away, who would let him suffer for himself.
But Song Ning must be his brother, and he couldn't help but feel compassion.
Xia Yuanqiu pulled out the silver needle from his wrist and ordered Zhu Yan to capture Song Ning and prevent him from moving.
"What are you going to do?" Song Ning was already weak, and with Zhu Yan's control, he couldn't even muster the strength to resist.
Xia Yuanqiu inserted the silver needle into his left wrist and said: "Save your life!"
Although they are all heartless Gu, the Gu in Song Ning's body has existed in his body for a year. It is not that easy to get rid of it, but it is not as difficult as imagined.
It is nothing more than damaging some delicate skin, and the appearance of this hand will be worse in the future.
Judging from the difference, it's better than losing your life.
When Song Ning woke up, he was in the guest room of the inn. His hands were wrapped with thick gauze. Standing next to him was Lou Quan, who was taking a nap. The room was filled with the strong smell of herbs, and there was burning pain in the palms of his hands, as well as the herbal compresses. There is a hint of coolness in the wound.
She left again, leaving him behind again.
Lou Quan was sleeping lightly, and when Song Ning moved slightly, he woke up.
"Sir, are you awake? It's time to drink medicine." Lou Quan stood up and went to get the medicine. The medicine bowl was warm on the small stove and was steaming.
Song Ning asked: "Where are they?"
Lou Quan placed the medicine bowl on the bedside table, took two soft pillows and helped Song Ning sit up, and then said: "I heard that General Ye Heng, the commander-in-chief of the Beiming Kingdom, led an army of 300,000 to conquer the north of Xiliang. The territorial border defense is marching eastward, intending to take the imperial capital directly."
Song Ning's face turned pale, and she held Lou Quan's hand harder and harder: "Where is the Emperor? How is the Emperor now?"
Lou Quan shook his head: "It's not clear yet. There is currently no news about the Imperial Capital. As soon as they heard about this yesterday, they immediately left Lianhua Town. They must have returned to the Imperial Capital."
"No news is good. No news is good news."
Lou Quan looked at his master in confusion. He didn't understand what the good news his master was talking about was.
——
"How's it going? Is there any news about Yan'er and Yuan Qiu?" The emperor asked eagerly, glaring at the military-clad guards kneeling in the hall.
The guard in military uniform shook his head: "Back to the emperor, the general is incompetent and has not been able to find the whereabouts of His Highness the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess."
The emperor looked disappointed and waved his hand to order the guards to retreat. His face was full of helplessness and desolation: "Could it be that God wants to destroy me in Xiliang?"
The 300,000-strong army of the Northern Ming Kingdom bypassed the northwest camp and headed east by water, avoiding the southern defense army. They entered the hinterland of the Xiliang Fortress without any hindrance. They were about to attack the city. The northwest army's foreign aid failed to arrive, and the southern defense army was defeated again. The heavy rain for days has slowed me down, and the 300,000 troops of the Beiming Kingdom are only a hundred miles away from the Xiliang Imperial Capital.
"If Yan'er is here, he will definitely have a good way to defeat the enemy!" The emperor sighed as he looked at the empty palace.
