In Puyang City, Zhao Changhe sat beside the bed and took Cui Wenjing's pulse. He closed his eyes and activated the Rejuvenation Technique, slowly healing Cui Wenjing's injuries.
My father-in-law was really badly injured this time. His blood was surging all over his body and was no longer flowing normally. That was because of his position on the Heavenly Ranking. If it were an ordinary warrior, he would have died from this blow.
In addition, when he held the Zhenhai Sword, the sword energy penetrated and broke through the Dantian. At the last moment of weakness, the punch injured his lungs and caused him to fall into a coma. Combined with these factors, any other doctor would have to declare "I tried my best" here, but he would still be seriously injured and die.
Fortunately, Zhao Changhe was by my side.
Zhao Changhe was very specialized in blood vessels, so he could at least help sort out the disordered blood and heal the blood vessels with the rejuvenation technique. The remaining internal injuries to the internal organs and the damage caused by the sword energy could also be treated by other doctors. The Cui family also had many good medicines in this regard, so they could slowly recuperate.
This kind of injury does not involve the mind and soul. If treated properly, it should be able to be healed without any sequelae. However, it is currently impossible to estimate how long it will take.
Wang Daoning should be in the same situation. He should not be able to do anything in the short term, unless the sea people have another magic method to cure him directly? The possibility is not high.
The Cui siblings stood nervously aside. Cui Yuanyang wanted to ask something but didn't dare to disturb them, and his little face turned red.
She never thought that when the world was in chaos, the first person to lie down was her father, who was in the strongest team in the world. This made Fu Loli, who had lived under the wings of her father since she was a child, feel like the sky was falling, both in reality and in her worldview.
Even during the most tense moment when he was fleeing with Zhao Changhe, Cui Yuanyang had never felt the taste of "worry", but overnight, it was filled with gloom.
I don't know if Brother Zhao can cure it...
Zhao Changhe withdrew his hand from his pulse.
The brother and sister spoke in unison: "Brother Zhao/Big Brother Zhao..."
Zhao Changhe waved his hand: "Be quiet, don't disturb my father-in-law's rest. Let's go out and talk."
You can even take a rest... Hearing this, at least he won't die. The brother and sister both showed joy and obediently followed Zhao Changhe out the door.
"My father-in-law's life has been saved, but the rest needs to be slowly removed from the sword energy, his internal organs taken care of, and his dantian repaired. This cannot be cured in a short period of time, and there is no magic to do that. Fortunately, the martial arts world is very experienced in treating this kind of injury. No matter how strong the Zhenhai sword energy is, the Cui family should be able to handle it."
Cui Yuanyong was ecstatic: "We should be able to handle this!"
Cui Yuanyang held his breath and finally let it out, his shoulders slumped a little: "Daddy, how long will it take for this to heal?"
Zhao Changhe held her in his arms and comforted her softly, "I can't predict how long it will take to treat her, but if she can be nursed back to health, she will be able to wake up within three days at least. Don't worry too much."
Cui Yuanyong seemed to want to say something but stopped himself.
I wanted to ask Zhao Changhe's opinion, since his Dantian was damaged, and according to experience, even if he was cured, his cultivation would most likely not be preserved. But I felt that it was inappropriate to ask, saving his life was the most important thing, and asking other questions at this time seemed utilitarian, so I swallowed it back.
Zhao Changhe seemed to have seen through his thoughts and said, "There was a trophy called Huasheng Lotus in the Battle of Kuaiji. It was not used up at the time and I don't know how to distribute it later. If the Cui family has it, use it directly. This item will be very helpful for my father-in-law's subsequent recovery. If not, go find Wanzhuang."
Cui Yuanyong looked grim: "Father never mentioned it, and I don't know if it exists. I will send someone back to Qinghe to look for the list in the treasury."
"Well, go find yours. Whether there is any or not, I will be going to Beijing soon and will ask for some evening makeup then."
"Thank you very much. I will go and tell someone." Cui Yuanyong left in a hurry.
Cui Yuanyang had been quietly nestling in Zhao Changhe's arms until her brother had been gone for a long time before she started to cry: "Brother Zhao..."
Zhao Changhe understood why the little girl was crying. It was the panic and fear in her heart, the feeling that the sky was falling... He gently wiped away the tears on Cui Yuanyang's little face and said softly, "Isn't it okay... Oh, it's just a little injury. I, your brother Zhao, am hurt like a dead dog every day."
Cui Yuanyang pouted and whispered: "My father is so old..."
"... At your father's age, he is not even qualified to find a job, not to mention his physical condition... I suspect that if he were to break through another level, he would be able to live forever. What's so old about forty-something?"
Cui Yuanyang was stunned: "Eternal life?"
"Those gods and demons that are dying in various secret realms, from what I can see, are only slightly higher than your father. Look how long they have lived. I estimate that as long as the Yin God is successful and there are suitable treasures to nourish them, they can probably live forever. If they can be even higher, maybe they will have true immortality..."
Cui Yuanyang leaned back a little, blinking his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.
Zhao Changhe asked curiously: "What are you doing? Do you want to live forever?"
Cui Yuanyang scratched his head and mumbled something inaudible.
Zhao Changhe could never have imagined that the little girl was thinking, she used to worry that she would grow up and become old and not so cute anymore, and that Brother Zhao would not like her anymore... In a few months, she will be seventeen, and that old woman Xia Chichi was about the same age when she first met Brother Zhao... Cui Yuanyang felt that he was about to become like those old women, and he had a sense of urgency that his advantage was gone. Now it seems that it is hard to say whether he can live forever, can he try to delay growing up...
However, the atmosphere was not right now, and Cui Yuanyang's mind was only a flash of thought, and his mind was still occupied by his father's injury: "I didn't expect Wang Daoning to hurt my father like this..."
Zhao Changhe was silent.
He hadn't seen the previous battle, but he could make a rough estimate based on the scene and the results.
For example, the disordered blood in Cui Wenjing's body is definitely not the Wang family's technique. If we only talk about Wang Daoning himself, I'm afraid that with the complete Zhenhai Sword, it is just the same as Cui Wenjing with the residual Xuehe Sword. Cui Wenjing was bewitched by the secret technique of the sea clan.
But even if he was tricked, Cui Wenjing could still injure Wang Daoning severely. Fortunately, he arrived in time, otherwise Old Cui would not have been injured to the extent he is now.
Xia Longyuan's punch was the last straw that broke the camel's back, both in terms of worsening injuries and psychological blow.
It was obvious that Xia Longyuan had been waiting for that punch for a long time. Combining his previous and subsequent performances, it can be basically judged that he watched the Wang family rebel in order to lure out the sea clan behind the Wang family. Otherwise, it cannot be explained why he kept Queen Wang.
He was only doing it for the sea people. He was not trying to save Cui Wenjing, nor was he trying to save Zhao Changhe.
Just like a blind man, he will only take action for the Book of Heaven.
Zhao Changhe had been in danger countless times, but when had he ever seen Xia Longyuan and the blind man come to save his life? Not to mention that this time he had not even come into contact with the sea creatures, and had not even made any moves, so the danger was not obvious. Zhao Changhe knew very well that Xia Longyuan's punch had nothing to do with him. If he could not dodge it, he would still be killed there.
I was full of energy and could dodge it, so that was fine. But what about Lao Cui? If I hadn't protected him, Lao Cui would have been turned into a pulp.
No matter how much Cui Wenjing's resolute resistance was out of his own considerations, objectively he was defending the territory of Daxia. However, Xia Longyuan only cared about that he "lured out the gods and demons". In order to seize the fleeting opportunity to catch the gods and demons of the sea clan, he didn't care about being accidentally injured or killed.
At that moment, Cui Wenjing felt completely disappointed...
What a rude person... No wonder there is no one in the world who says anything good about Xia Longyuan. Maybe the only person who could say a few good words about him before was Zhao Changhe himself, but this time he has ruined all his goodwill.
It's worse than a blind man. No matter how cold-hearted a blind man is, at least he has never attacked his own people.
Of course, there was no need to tell Yangyang about this. It was meaningless for her to hate Xia Longyuan. Zhao Changhe thought for a long time, and said, "Take good care of your father. I'll go to the capital and come back soon."
Cui Yuanyang thought he was just going to Tang Wanzhuang to ask about Huashenglian, and couldn't help but pull on his clothes: "Can't we send someone to ask Master Tang... I, I'm afraid you're not here..."
Zhao Changhe shook his head and whispered, "I have a lot of things to discuss with Wanzhuang, and I also have some questions to ask some people..."
He paused and continued, "Yesterday, due to a sudden rainstorm, Wang Zhaoling suspended the siege, resulting in the ineffectiveness of our Blood God Cult's surprise troops. Wang Zhaoling only retreated temporarily, but was not defeated. After the Wang family digests the news that my father-in-law and Wang Daoning were both injured, they will definitely continue to launch attacks. For the sake of Qinghe, which is almost undefended behind them, the Puyang line must not be lost."
Cui Yuanyang looked at him in confusion.
Zhao Changhe said slowly: "Yangyang, not all the people in the Cui family are of the same mind. Many people may not understand your father-in-law's persistence this time. Once he falls, people's hearts may be divided. On the contrary... the Wang family will definitely be united, and your brother's most trusted helper in the short term may be you... He is under a lot of pressure."
Cui Yuanyang stared at him blankly for a long time, then suddenly smiled: "Brother Zhao, don't worry, Yangyang is no longer the Yangyang of that year, I have reached the eighth level of Xuanguan!"
Zhao Changhe looked at her smile with a dazed look in his eyes.
Cultivation is another matter... But the little girl wearing a bunny costume and sitting in the corner with her knees hugged at that time will eventually be gone with the coming of the troubled times.
If there hadn't been the turmoil in the Wang family, I should have gone to Qinghe this time to discuss marriage with her... But now, no one wanted to bring up this matter anymore.
"I know that my Yangyang is a martial arts genius. If the Wang family's current situation is called a raging sea, maybe it is my Yangyang who can turn the tide."
Cui Yuanyang: “…”
The storm did not only start from the Wang family.
If this is considered turning the tide, then who can save the collapsing building
Zhao Changhe said nothing more. He gently hugged Cui Yuanyang, kissed her pink lips, and said softly, "Take care, madam."
After saying this, he strode out of the door, mounted his black horse and galloped away.
Cui Yuanyang stared at his back in a daze.
