The carriage drove almost day and night on the road.

In addition to buying some food in the city and returning to the bus, I didn't stop again.

After traveling day and night, I finally arrived in the capital in the early morning of three days later.

After arriving in the capital, Nalan Jinnian got off the carriage outside Shichang Bo's house.

At this time, the sun has not risen, the warmth has just woke up, and the hair is a little messy.

Nalan Jinnian helped her sort out some messy hairpins. "I'll go to the town government and remember to keep my meal at noon."

"..." why is this so like what the husband said to his wife.

Warm face a little red.

But nalanjin didn't say that years ago.

She didn't sound like anything before. How can she think so much now?

Warmth drove away the inexplicable ideas in my heart, and skillfully nodded "OK."

Then a cold wind blew, and the hair collar on the cloak made her nose itch.

"Sneeze!" Warm couldn't help sneezing.

On the morning of late autumn and early winter, the sun hasn't risen yet. The cool wind blows and the chill is very strong.

Nalan Jinnian touched her little hand. The soft little hand was gone. The warmth he held in the palm of his hand in the carriage just now.

The thin fingertips are cold.

With his other hand, he helped her close her cloak. "Go in! It's windy here."

Warm shrink hand.

Her father and big brother are there, too!

She turned her head and took a look. Fortunately, several people were directing the servants to move and salute, but they didn't see it.

"I'm in. Go and see the old lord! If you need anything, you can come to me." Warm waved and hurried in.

Nalan Jinnian also had something to do. He said to Wen Jiarui and left in a hurry.

Warm family has no contact with the government of the town, so it's not easy to visit. Although warm is Xu's apprentice, he hasn't held a teacher worship banquet yet, and no one in the capital knows.

And even if you want to visit, you also need to send a post to visit Mr. Xu, but sending a post to the Xu family at this time will only make people think you don't understand etiquette.

Town government

Old man Xu was lying on his bunk bed, haggard and dead on his face.

Mr. Xu was the grandfather of the Empress Dowager and the old Duke of the town government. He fought and defended the country all his life.

Uncle Xu is seriously ill and the emperor attaches great importance to him.

All the imperial doctors of the Imperial College Hospital were sent to the hospital for consultation, but no results were achieved. Seeing that old master Xu was getting worse day by day, the Empress Dowager's eyes were red with anxiety.

When Nalan Jinnian came in, dozens of imperial doctors in the imperial hospital were consulting in the house.

The people in the room looked dignified.

The Empress Dowager sat on the throne with a tired and worried face.

When the people in the first room saw Nalan Jinnian coming, they quickly stood up and saluted him.

The town Lord's wife was a little afraid of Nalan Jinnian. After the ceremony, she smiled and said, "I'll let someone serve tea."

Then he went out.

The Duke of the town smiled at Nalan Jinnian. "Seventeen master just came back?"

Nalan Jinnian didn't answer him. He just saluted the Empress Dowager "empress mother."

The Empress Dowager was relieved to see him back. "Your great grandfather misses you."

"How's your great grandfather?" Nalan Jinnian sat down beside the Empress Dowager..

The Empress Dowager shook her head and looked tired. She didn't sleep well these two days.

"It's not getting better. The imperial doctors in the imperial hospital are consulting. Has doctor Feng come?"

"He went to the mountains to collect medicine. I've asked someone to find him back." Xiao Hei has gone into the mountain to find someone, but he probably didn't come back so soon.

At this time, the door opened and dozens of doctors came out.

"Doctor, is my grandfather better today?" The Empress Dowager asked immediately.

Nalan Jinnian also looked at them.

Tai hospital is taking the lead in kneeling down. "Back to the empress dowager, King Jin, ministers and others have done their best. The Duke of the country is old. The wind and cold is fierce this time. If you can't survive tonight, I'm afraid you'll have to..."

He wanted to say that he was preparing for the future, but he didn't dare to say. He just said, "I don't know if the people of the miracle doctor Valley can come tonight? I can only protect the life of the old Duke for one night!"

The old Duke is old and his internal organs are degraded. The last emergency came fiercely and fiercely, which exhausted all the remaining vitality of his body. It was the old miracle doctor who saved his life!

Now it's just an ordinary cold, and the old Duke can't resist it. He's really old. He has reached the point where he can't recover from the sky and the medicine stone is invalid!

This is the age of death, not the problem of disease. How to treat it?

Unless there is a magic pill that can revive his body, it's time to prepare for the future.

The Empress Dowager's tears fell down.

When she was young, she sat on her grandfather's shoulder, and the picture of his running all over the field with him was still vivid.

More than ten years ago, he personally taught Jin Nian to ride and shoot. He took him to the battlefield at the age of five and taught him to defend his country.

The old Duke is in his 80s and nearly 90, which is actually very rare in this dynasty.

The Empress Dowager knew that there would be such a day, but she still couldn't accept it.

Nalan Jinnian wanted to bring the little girl.

"Is it ten... Seven?" Then a weak voice came from the room.

His voice was hoarse and sounded weak.

Nalan Jinnian quickly strode in.

The Empress Dowager wiped her tears and went in. "Grandpa, it's seventeen!"

Nalan Jinnian sat by the bed and held master Xu's hand, "great grandfather."

He looked at the dead spirit on Uncle Xu's face and his heart sank.

"Seventeen... Just come back and promise my grandfather one thing?"

"OK."

"Grandpa Zeng is old! I wanted to see you get a wife and teach your children martial arts. It seems that I can't wait for that day. How about promise grandpa Zeng to get a wife and have children as soon as possible?" Mr. Xu said it very hard.

In a few words, he spoke for nearly half an hour.

The old man doesn't have any wishes. All he cares about is that this cold-blooded great grandson will get married and have children as soon as possible. Don't be a broken sleeve.

Otherwise, who will inherit the rivers and mountains of Naran?

No one can control the child, so only his own words can be heard. This is his last wish. He knows that as long as he nods, he will do it.

Nalan Jinnian thought, "OK, but she hasn't promised to marry me. Great grandfather, she knows some medical skills. I'll take her to see you. Will you let her marry me earlier?"

The Empress Dowager beside me "..."

Son, you can't get warm. Have you started playing rogue?

But the scoundrel is good!

Master Xu was a little excited and his spirit was a little better. "Good! Good!"

He closed his eyes and died in peace.

wait!

Mr. Xu suddenly opened his eyes. "Is it a man or a woman?"

Naranjin "..."

The Empress Dowager "poof" smiled, "Grandpa, don't worry, woman. That little girl is likable!"

Mr. Xu put his heart down and looked more tired. "Woman, that's good! That's good!"

It's no wonder Uncle Xu was worried. Two years ago, Uncle Xu saw that he was not close to women, but he drugged Nalan Jinnian, but he didn't break his boy skills!

So can he not worry?

Nalan Jinnian saw him like this and his heart sank. "I'll bring her here now."

He stood up and strode away.
