Traveling through the ancient times

Chapter 122: A peaceful life with hidden dangers

General Xiong looked embarrassed. He also wanted to kill his own relatives for the sake of justice, but he couldn't do it because those were his own daughter and grandson!

"General Qilin, please go back. I will go back and persuade the king. When I received the king just now, he was weak and pale. I heard that the king has been bedridden in the imperial city. I don't think he will live long. Let them stay in this border area and live the life of civilians for a while!"

"General Xiong, I'm not trying to kill everyone, but I need to give an explanation to the people of Xiliang. Please don't make it difficult for me." General Qilin also knew that the King of Xiliang did not have much time left, but this was not a reason for him to escape.

"Don't worry, I will give you an explanation, and I will also give the people of Xiliang a satisfactory explanation. Please go back and wait patiently for news!"

General Xiong can only delay in this way. Judging from the expression on King Xiliang's face, he will not be able to live for many days. When the time comes, death will be like the extinguishing of a lamp, and all grudges will vanish into thin air. He will not have to worry about whether he will become an enemy of the people of the world!

General Qilin also didn't want to engage in combat. These soldiers defending the city were innocent. Once a battle broke out, there would be countless casualties. He didn't want to see his own people fighting against each other.

So he compromised, "Then this time, I will trust Commander Xiong. I hope he won't let the people of Xiliang down!"

"Don't worry, this governor will not let anyone down!"

After receiving the assurance from General Xiong, General Qilin turned his horse around and said, "Return to the city!"

When General Xiong returned to the Governor's Mansion, the King of Xiliang called him to his bedside, "General Xiong, are you also hoping for my death?"

General Xiong's words on the city wall had already reached the ears of King Xiliang before he returned home.

Commander Xiong was not panicked. He explained to the King of Xiliang with a serious face, "Your Majesty, please don't misunderstand me. I am just taking temporary measures. If I hadn't said that, General Qilin would have attacked the city."

"If he dares to attack the city, you will fight him back. Could it be that Commander Xiong is afraid of a young junior?"

"Your Majesty, I am not afraid of him. I am worried that if we fight, there will be countless casualties. I only have 500,000 soldiers. Once the war starts, although General Qilin brings a small number of people, other generals will definitely reinforce us. If our city is breached, we will all die. It is better to appease them first and then make long-term plans."

At this point, Governor Xiong can only appease both sides in order to seek a moment of peace...

After hearing this, the King of Xiliang thought about it carefully and felt that it was indeed possible, so he did not pursue the matter further.

"You guys go out first, I need to rest for a while!" King Xiliang said and closed his eyes. After running away for such a long time, he could finally have a good sleep.

Everyone left, and the Third Prince followed Commander Xiong to the study.

"Third Prince, tell me the truth, what is the king's current health condition?" Governor Xiong now really felt that he had taken on a hot potato.

"My father is now poisoned by several kinds of poisons. The doctor said that if we can't find a way to detoxify him, he won't have much time left."

"How can there be several kinds of poison? What are they?"

"My grandson doesn't know either. The doctor said the poison has already entered my internal organs and is complicated. The chances of being able to cure it are slim."

When Commander Xiong looked at the Third Prince's appearance, he knew that he had not found an antidote for the King of Xiliang. It was not the Third Prince's fault. They were running for their lives all the way, and even if he wanted to find one, he would have no chance.

What's more, the Third Prince never thought of detoxifying the King of Xiliang. One of the poisons was given by him and the Queen. They just wanted to wait for him to endure it slowly, and when he couldn't endure it anymore, the King of Xiliang would hand over what he wanted.

When the time comes, he will take those things and lead General Xiong's 500,000 troops to fight back, and the entire Xiliang Kingdom will be his.

"What does the Third Prince plan to do?" Governor Xiong wanted to know what his grandson thought.

"Since the poison has already spread to a serious extent, let Father enjoy his old age in peace. Do not give him any more drugs to torture him."

This means that we will not find an antidote for the King of Xiliang!

"In that case, let the king spend his last days here in peace!" Even though he was a tyrant, he was also his son-in-law. He did not hand over the King of Xiliang, allowing him to spend his last days in peace, which was also the fulfillment of the relationship between the monarch and his subject, and between father and son-in-law.

The third prince nodded, and the two did not talk about anything else, so the third prince went back to rest.

The King of Xiliang has not handed over those things yet. No matter how much he says now, it will be useless. He should lie in wait here and wait for the opportunity!

Another person, Yongkang, who was lurking in Qunan, recently secretly followed Nianchuhua and the others out of the city.

Having lived in Fu Sheng Inn for so long, he already knew that the owner of this inn, Nian Chuhua, had a close relationship with Lu Mingqian.

According to what he learned, Lu Mingqian was a cold-hearted man who didn't like women, but now he was in close contact with a girl who was about sixteen or seventeen years old, and they had a very close relationship. It was not difficult to guess that Nian Chuhua must be Lu Mingqian's sweetheart!

Yongkang was very excited about this discovery. People without weaknesses cannot be attacked. Only with soft spots can there be opportunities.

Lu Mingqian was surrounded by many guards, both visible and invisible, and he could not get close to him at all. However, Chu Shuhua was a businessman and often went out to discuss business, which made him much easier to attack than Lu Mingqian.

Moreover, he hadn't heard from Lu Mingqian for a long time and didn't know where he had gone. Since he couldn't find Lu Mingqian, he let Lu Mingqian come to him on his own initiative.

Chuanchuhua and Qi Muhe are going to Huai'an this time. It is said that there is a lot of fruit there, and there are many kinds. Now is the season when fruits are ripe. For foodies, the temptation of fruits is irresistible. Chuanchuhua wants to go there to see if there are any business opportunities.

Although Qunan has a pleasant climate, I don't know if it's because of the different soil or something, but there are very few fruits grown here. Most of the fruits here are bought from other places.

Yongkang brought a few people and followed them from a distance. Among these people, two were brothers named Meng Hu and Meng Long.

These two men knew some martial arts, and with that little skill they committed some thefts, but were caught by Yongkang and given a severe lesson.

The two men were convinced by Yongkang and said they wanted to follow him and be his younger brothers. Yongkang had been alone for so long, and having these two people help him with things would save him time and reduce the risk of being exposed, so he agreed.

Yongkang thought about what she was going to do now, and the more helpers she had, the better her chances of success, so she asked them if they knew anyone who knew kung fu. The two brothers introduced several of their senior brothers to Yongkang, all of whom were in the same business as them.

Looking at the shifty looks of those people, Yongkang wondered when even stealing became a gang thing...

Yongkang was a little speechless, but since he was a helper after all, he didn't say anything.

In fact, before his father was framed and murdered, Yongkang had always been a chivalrous young man.

His ideal is to travel the world with a sword, eradicate evil and promote good. What he hates most is these idle thieves. Now he has to associate with these people. It's really ironic to think about it...

In the past, his parents loved him very much at home, and he had a harmonious relationship with his brothers and sisters. The family was happy and lived a worry-free life.

But who would have thought that something unexpected would happen one day, turning a sunny boy into a gloomy and taciturn person who only wanted revenge.

He couldn't let his father die on false charges, and his mother, grandfather, grandmother, brothers and sisters couldn't be exiled. He wanted revenge. The culprit of all this was Lu Mingqian, and he had to find him!
