Chapter 72 - Rehabilitation Hope

This time, Zhao Chen laid on his bed for another three days. Three days later, he woke up once more! But now, it wasn't just his face that had that horrible gray color. All of his skin had turned gray! His hair gradually lost its luster, and his eyes became bloodshot!

Zhao Chen felt dizzy, his body exceptionally heavy. It was even difficult for him to raise his hand!

At that moment, he suddenly saw a person lying on the headboard! That man had a head full of white hair, who else could he be other than Li Gang?

"Teacher!" Zhao Chen could not resist asking in a low voice.

The moment the voice left his mouth, he felt an extreme pain in his throat! This time, he almost fainted!

He gently closed his eyes and gasped for air! Just then, Li Gang woke up!

"Yes, I'm awake!" However, I'm afraid I won't be able to live much longer! " Zhao Chen laughed bitterly.

Three days ago, when he woke up, he felt cold all over! Now that he was awake, he actually couldn't feel the cold sensation all over his body. What replaced it was a numb feeling! His body was incomparably numb, as if this body no longer belonged to him! Even with his medical knowledge, he knew that the current situation was much more serious than a few days ago! He had already been severely injured, and now that the poison had struck him, it would be even harder for him to survive!

"Your Highness, don't despair, we have already gone to find a famous doctor! When those famous doctors arrive, they will definitely be able to cure His Highness' body! " Li Gang cried.

"I don't want to despair! But I've been injured in succession, and have become like this. It will be hard for me not to feel despair! " Zhao Chen laughed bitterly once again.

"Your Highness, as long as you are not dead, you cannot despair! You must believe that there is still hope! We also have to believe that we can cure you, the crown prince! " Li Gang said.

Zhao Chen was silent for a long while, then said while nodding: "What you said also has a certain amount of truth!"

"Your Highness, Yue Fei, Wang De has gone to invite a famous doctor! As long as that famous doctor comes, he can definitely cure His Highness' injuries! " Li Gang said.

"Oh? Had the two of them moved at the same time? What kind of famous doctor was he? "Where is it?" Zhao Chen said.

"That famous doctor is a Taoist, he is currently cultivating in the Southern Mountain! His medical skills were extremely high! Your Highness, you must persevere. At the very least, you must persevere until that Daoist Priest arrives! " Li Gang said.

"Daoist Priest?" Who could it be? " After a while, he clenched his teeth and said: "Teacher is right, I will have to hold on for a while longer! I'm not dead yet, and I still have hope for a cure! I will persevere until I die! I'd like to see this damned heavens. He brought me to this era and caused me to suffer so much. Could it be that he wants me to die? I don't believe it! Even if it's really like this, I want to fight against the heavens, fight with my life, win against the heavens, I want to live on! Teacher, please give me some porridge, I want to eat some first! At the very least, I can't starve to death here! "

His heart was suddenly filled with grief and indignation towards the heavens and towards fate! He was originally a high school student in the modern world and his life was fine, but the heavens let him teleport to the Song Dynasty! It was one thing for him to come to Song Dynasty, but before long, he had become the crown prince and was forced to flee! From last winter until now, he had been on the run! After finally arriving at the Middle Han Area and settling down, he was actually ambushed again! After being assassinated, he was lucky enough to survive. But because his organs and meridians were damaged, others claimed that he wouldn't live past 20 years of age! After that, it was the exceptionally gentle A Yao who took care of him. Who knew that A Yao was also an assassin?

He felt a strong sense of injustice! He did not understand why fate was so unfair!

"Heaven does not want me to live, but I do! Not only do I want to live, I want to live well! I want to let the heavens see what kind of person I, Zhao Chen, am. Can I, Zhao Chen, live? His face once again revealed a resolute expression!

"Nvzhen, Kang Wang Zhao Zhuang, Zhe Keqiu, Assassin … And A Yao, you... I won't let you off! Didn't you want to kill me? I won't let you do as you wish! " Zhao Chen thought.

Li Gang had already brought in the porridge. He served Zhao Chen and when he saw the resolute look in Zhao Chen's eyes, he was overjoyed! No matter what, as long as Zhao Chen did not despair, then he still had hope to live! If Zhao Chen himself was in despair, Zhao Chen would not live past the next few days!

Yue Fei, Wang De were riding on their horses towards the north!

They gradually walked out of the Middle Han Area Basin and arrived at the higher mountains! At this time, the weather was extremely hot, but the two of them had very high inner strength, especially Yue Fei who had already reached the stage of invulnerability to winter and summer, so the heat did not affect them much! But the horses beneath their feet could not be like them. They were covered with sweat!

"Two months ago, we just left Dazhang Pass, and now we have to pass through Dazhang Pass again!" Wang De looked at the mountain pass in the distance and said.

So it turned out that they were not far from the Dazhang Pass now!

"That's right!" Who would have thought that so many things would happen after they left the Dazhang Pass! We were ordered to protect His Highness, but His Highness was injured time and time again! I feel so guilty! " Yue Fei said dejectedly.

"Assassin's techniques are endless, so we can't just blame you!" Wang De said.

"If I catch those assassins, I will definitely tear them into a thousand pieces!" Yue Fei clenched his teeth and said.

"Those assassins should be from the Devil Dao!" Wang De said.

"The Devil Dao? Did the General Wang find out anything about them? " Yue Fei said.

"Not really! The people of the Devil Dao were secretive, disregarding all laws and morals! I seem to have heard of the names of the free and unrestrained children and Infernal Queen s, they are the peak experts of the demonic way! However, now is not the time to settle the score with them. We must first find someone to treat His Highness! " Wang De said.

"General Wang, is that Taoist really as miraculous as you said?" Yue Fei said.

"I'm afraid it's even more miraculous than what I've said! That Taoist was extremely famous in the Middle Han Area. He was originally from a rich and powerful family, and even passed the examinations, but for some reason, he became a Taoist! He traveled all over the world to help the public. All the difficult illnesses were treated by him! Furthermore, he was adept at treating poison injuries. Regardless of the various venomous snakes, venomous bugs, or other kinds, he was able to treat them all! I heard that he went to Tiannan before. There is a martial arts sect called the Five Poisons Sect. It is very adept at using poison! There had been a time when someone had been injured by the Five Poison Sect, and all the famous doctors in Tiannan were helpless against it. I have obtained accurate information and know that he is a peerless doctor, that's why I went to invite him! As long as we invite him, he will definitely be able to cure His Highness' poison! " Wang De said.

"Let's hope so!" Yue Fei nodded.

The sky gradually darkened, but the two of them still did not stop. They continued to ride on their horses! In the middle of the night, they finally arrived at the bottom of Dazhang Pass!

At the moment, the Dazhang Pass was being guarded by the Home Breaker, but in the dark of the night, the Home Breaker Soldiers had long fallen asleep! Even the walls of Dazhang Pass did not have many Home Breaker Soldiers s! The Home Breaker's discipline was loose, and after the Jin Army left, they had already returned to normal!

Yue Fei, Wang De shouted from below, someone had finally arrived!

"Who are you people? What are you shouting about down there in the middle of the night? " The person that appeared was a deputy general, this deputy general said coldly.

"Quick, open the city gate!" We are going over! " Yue Fei said loudly.

"Nonsense!" How can I let you pass in the middle of the night? "If you scream again, I will have my men shoot down your arrows right now!" The deputy general said coldly with an impatient heart.

"I await General Crop Zhe Keqiu's order to come! This is his order badge! " Yue Fei said.

"What?" Hearing this, the deputy general was shocked!

Although they were arrogant and despotic to normal people, but hearing that the two below were here under Zhe Keqiu's orders, he was shocked!

Yue Fei had already taken out the order badge, it was just that it was dark night now, and the top half of the order badge was so far away, the deputy general could not even see the order badge! Only, the deputy general did not inspect them, but rather, he immediately ordered people to open the city gate, allowing Yue Fei and Wang De to enter!

"This is the command token!" Yue Fei, Wang De galloped their horses into the Dazhang Pass, and Yue Fei took out the order badge again, and said.

"Good! The two of you have indeed come under the orders of the General Crop! May I ask what the General has ordered? " The deputy general had a fawning look on his face! He had recognized the identity of the medallion, it was the highest level medallion of the Residence of Yun. It normally represented a matter of utmost urgency! Normally, a deputy general would never see such a token!

"It's a secret! I can't tell you! Prepare a few fast horses for us, we're leaving now! " Yue Fei said.

"Gone?" The deputy general was stunned for a moment before he asked, "Where are the two generals planning to go in this dark night?"

"We are heading to Southern Mountain for some matters, we cannot delay any longer! Hurry and open the gates to the north and let us through! " Yue Fei said.

Seeing the two of them so anxious, the deputy general knew that something huge must have happened! The deputy general immediately ordered for horses to be prepared and for people to open the north gate. Yue Fei and Wang De immediately changed their horses and left! Looking at the two's backs, the assistant general secretly guessed that he had no idea what was happening in Middle Han Area!

Zhao Chen had been assassinated, heavily injured, and poisoned. Although he was on his last breath, the news had not spread out widely! Zhe Keqiu had been tightly controlling the information, and even had other plans in his mind! If Zhao Chen was truly dying of an illness, Zhe Keqiu could possibly kill all of the people who knew about him, and find a youth to replace Zhao Chen and become the crown prince in order to achieve his plan of seizing the heavens by ordering the dukes to act! Of course, there were too many flaws in doing so! Li Gang, Li Ruoshui, Wang De, Yue Fei and the rest all knew about Zhao Chen, and the countless other Home Breaker Soldiers outside the Dry Clear Palace also knew about Zhao Chen! If he really wanted to find someone to replace Zhao Chen, there would be too many people who would find out and leak out the information sooner or later! Therefore, unless there was no other choice, Zhe Keqiu would not do that!

Yue Fei and Wang De exited the Dazhang Pass, went all the way north, and gradually arrived at the boundaries of the Fengxiang Residence!

When they got there, it was already morning. The two of them headed east!

On the way, they saw an incomparable desolation. They saw countless ruined villages, and countless corpses lying exposed in the wilderness! The woman had invaded, killing countless people wherever she went! It was unknown how many ordinary citizens had died under the female true essence hoof! Even if they did not die, many of them had already been driven towards the north by the Nvzhen.

The Nvzhen had risen up into the dark, white mountains. Their battle power was extremely strong, but they had a huge weakness, and that was that their population was too small! They could not even compare to the Liao Country's people! The total number of Nvzhen would not exceed a million! So they need a population!

To the Nvzhen, other than plundering wealth, war was also about plundering people! After every war, the Nvzhen had to send a large number of people to the north! They wanted to turn a strong military force into a strong national power. They wanted to build a new strong nation in the north out of thin air, making the originally desolate north prosperous! Later generations, in the last year of the Ming Dynasty, when the Nvzhen rose up once again, this was also their basic national policy.

Two months ago, Jin Wushu had travelled all the way to Fengxiang Residence! However, the female Grand Marshal Wanyan Zonghan wanted to transport Kai Feng's large amount of wealth and population to the north, so Jin Wushu had no choice but to return to Chang An. However, he had expelled a large number of people in the direction of Chang'an along the way. As a result, this area was now desolate to the extreme, and had no population!

Yue Fei and Wang De didn't sleep at all for the next seven days. Finally, on this afternoon of the day, they arrived at the foot of the main peak of Southern Mountain!
