Disguised as a man: Watch me create a new dynasty

Chapter 120 Death of Shangguan Que

Xie Yanli slowly opened his eyes in chaos, and saw the familiar layout of the tent, but every inch of his body was screaming in pain.

The pain was like fine needles, stimulating his nerves in every way, making him gasp.

He tried to move his fingers, but found that even such a simple movement was extremely difficult.

Every breath felt like a heavy hammer hitting my chest hard, and the pain spread through my blood vessels throughout my body.

He knew very well that he was seriously injured this time. Traveling all the way from Kyoto back to the Xie family army's camp was a life-threatening experience.

They had endured many ambushes on the road, and the assassins' skills became stronger and stronger. Prime Minister Jiang really spent a lot of money this time.

Yes, they dared to poison the emperor. Is the Jiang family planning a rebellion?

During the long and dangerous escape, he felt countless times that he might die.

All the personal soldiers brought to Kyoto died at the hands of assassins in order to protect him.

He closed his eyes in pain, his breathing became heavy, Shangguan Que...

His thoughts drifted back to the thrilling assassination.

It was a dark night, the moonlight was obscured by dark clouds, and the air was filled with the breath of death. The assassins suddenly appeared like ghosts and surrounded them.

Shangguan Que, the personal soldier who had been with him since childhood, stood in front of him without hesitation.

In that chaotic moment, Xie Yanli saw Shangguan Que push himself out of the assassin's encirclement and burst out with the last of his internal strength to fight the assassin.

The meaningful smile and resolute eyes when she turned and looked at him deeply hurt his heart.

Shangguan Que is a bastard son of the Shangguan family. His biological mother, General Shangguan, was a foreign woman rescued during a battle, so he was not well-liked by the Shangguan family.

He was only five years old when General Shangguan died in battle. He suffered humiliation in the Shangguan family. Later, he was brought back by General Xie to be Xie Yanli's study companion. The two were about the same age and had a very deep relationship.

Later, they joined Xie's army and he became Xie Yanli's personal soldier.

Memories came flooding back like a tide. They had fought side by side on the battlefield, working together in perfect harmony and being invincible.

Once, they were ambushed by the enemy and Xie Yanli was surrounded and in a critical situation.

Shangguan Que rushed into the enemy camp regardless of his own safety, and cooperated with Xie Yanli from inside and outside, and finally succeeded in breaking through the encirclement.

They supported and trusted each other, and forged an indestructible friendship in the baptism of blood and fire.

On the battlefield, they experienced countless life and death tests together.

In every charge and every defense, Shangguan Que was always able to accurately understand Xie Yanli's intentions and cooperate seamlessly.

Their names made the enemy tremble in fear, and their figures became the most dazzling light on the battlefield.

However, now, the high-spirited young general, Shangguan Que, who once said with a smug smile, "Young General, don't underestimate me. In the future I want to be the God of War General of Daqing like our great general!", fell under the conspiracy of his own people in order to let him survive.

Thinking of this, Xie Yanli's eyes became moist.

He hated Prime Minister Jiang's cruelty and hated himself for being unable to protect him.

Shangguan Que should have made great achievements on the battlefield, but he ended his life in such a tragic way.

Xie Yanli gritted his teeth and secretly swore in his heart to avenge Shangguan Que and not let his sacrifice go to waste.

He suppressed the grief in his heart and his thoughts gradually became clearer. He recalled everything he had experienced in Kyoto.

The emperor was suffering from chronic poison!

This time he was summoned back to the capital on the pretext of giving a thank you banquet and proposing marriage, but in reality the emperor knew that he had been poisoned and would not live long.

The emperor is surrounded by Jiang family's spies and is not trustworthy at all, so he can only find an excuse to call the Xie family back.

The Xie family is the maiden family of his beloved Concubine Xie, and he and General Xie are also close friends who grew up together.

He was well aware of the loyalty and bravery of the Xie family. He was the only one left in General Xie's generation, as all the other members of the Xie family had died on the battlefield for the Yun family's empire.

He never doubted whether the Xie family would rebel by raising their own troops.

In his current situation, he only trusts the Xie family!

He told Xie Yanli about the matter and gave Xie Yanli a secret order.

The Jiang family learned that Xie Yanli and the emperor had a secret conversation in the bedroom for half an hour. Although they didn't know what the two talked about, in order to prevent future trouble, Prime Minister Jiang still sent people to kill Xie Yanli.

Prime Minister Jiang had no doubt that the Xie family would not be of use to the Jiang family.

The Jiang family’s ambition can no longer be hidden, and they have to explain the situation to their father as soon as possible.

At this moment, his eyes moved to the bedside and saw Yan Nansheng lying on the bed resting.

The familiar figure made him feel warm in his heart. He knew that it was Yan Nansheng who pulled him back from the brink of death.

Looking at Yan Nansheng's tired face, his heart was filled with guilt and gratitude.

He thought, how sad Sheng'er would be when she knew that her father had been poisoned and didn't have much time left.

Although Sheng'er and his father had never met, how could the blood-thicker-than-water kinship be diminished in the slightest just because they had never met?

Perhaps, Sheng'er can find a way to save the emperor.

After all, her medical skills are so exquisite that even Dr. Yan, the miracle doctor in Daqing, recognizes them.

How he wished he could get up immediately, tell Yan Nansheng everything, and discuss countermeasures with her.

However, at this moment he even had difficulty speaking. He could only wait silently in pain and helplessness for his body to recover some strength.

Yan Nansheng felt panicky in his sleep, as if something unsettling was about to happen.

Her eyelashes trembled slightly and she slowly opened her eyes.

Xie Yanli saw that she had woken up and sighed slightly, "Sheng, Er..."

Yan Nansheng woke up instantly when she heard Xie Yanli calling her, "Brother Yan, you're awake!"

As he spoke, he touched Xie Yanli's wrist and carefully checked Xie Yanli's pulse.

"Yeah. There's no danger to life for now."

She stood up, poured a cup of warm water, and fed it to Xie Yanli little by little with a spoon.

Then he arranged for the soldiers outside the tent to pass the message to General Xie and others.

Then he sat down again and looked at Xie Yanli quietly, "Brother Yan, how do you feel?"

Xie Yanli drank some water and regained some strength, "It hurts so much..."

Looking at Xie Yanli's serious expression, Yan Nansheng couldn't help but laugh.

He can still joke around, it seems like everything is really fine.

"Brother Yan, the wound on your body is poisonous. You must have been injured by a poisoned weapon. This poison is vicious. You cannot use any internal energy for a while. Can you do it?"

Xie Yanli really wanted to say “I can’t do it”, but seeing Yan Nansheng’s serious and solemn expression, she felt that if she couldn’t do it, the consequences would be terrible.

So he just said "hmm" obediently.

Yan Nansheng felt relieved only after receiving Xie Yanli's affirmative answer.

Because Xie Yanli fell into a coma as soon as he came back, no one knew what he had experienced.

The people who were sent out came back and said that they might have been ambushed, but there was no identity information on the assassins. The person behind the scenes was very rigorous.

Although everyone suspected the Jiang family, there was no evidence!

We can only wait until Xie Yanli wakes up.

General Xie led a group of people and rushed into Xie Yanli's tent.
