Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“Father!”
“Third Brother!”
“Fourth Brother!”
“Big Brother… leave quickly… You… quickly bring Fourth Brother and the others… leave…
The soldiers covered in arrows knelt in front of him, wanting to block the last arrow for him even if they died.
“Third Brother!Third Brother! ”
It was a heart-wrenching roar and a heart-wrenching cry. He hugged his brother, who had been pierced by ten thousand arrows, and watched him take his last breath in his arms. He let out a despairing wail. “Ah!”
Ghostfear suddenly shouted.
This stunned Helian Ye.
He forgot to attack for a moment.
“Something’s wrong with Big Brother!”
Wei Ting’s expression turned serious. He quickly used his qinggong to come behind Ghostfear and kicked Helian Ye’s shoulder. The moment he kicked kielé?n awav. he also held Ghostfear and took a few stens back.

“Something’s wrong with Big Brother!”
Wei Ting’s expression turned serious. He quickly used his qinggong to come behind Ghostfear and kicked Helian Ye’s shoulder. The moment he kicked Helian Ye away, he also held Ghostfear and took a few steps back.
At the same time, the experts of Northern Yan, the imperial guards, and a few guards of the Western Jin arrived.
“General Helian, General Helian, are you in front?” a Northern Yan expert shouted.
The brothers exchanged glances and left with the Ghostfear who had fallen into a manic state.
Wei Liulang did not forget to take the mask off the ground.
In the empty space at the entrance of the hunting ground, everyone was full. Emperor Jing Xuan was tired and brought the empress and the others back to the sleeping hall.
Su Cheng asked Su Xiaoxiao to go back first while he brought people to look for his son-in-law.
The people of Northern Yan should have guessed what had happened in the forest. In order to prevent themselves from being silenced, in addition to the imperial guards of the imperial court, they also called the envoy of the Western Jin. They were really careful.
“Father should be careful too,” Su Xiaoxiao said.
Su Cheng said, “Don’t worry, this is Great Zhou’s territory after all. I know what to do.”
Su Xiaoxiao looked at Su Cheng, who was wearing armor and had a righteous aura, and suddenly felt that he had grown a lot. He was no longer the big bully in the countryside who slept until late in the morning and had no pursuits. Her father was an indomitable man and the future master of the Protectorate.
She returned to the courtyard.
The children played in the Empress Dowager’s palace for the entire day and fell asleep when they returned.
Madam Li had just finished wiping Xiaohu down.
Xiaohu was sleeping soundly and could not wake up.
“They’re back.” Madam Li wrung out the towel. “Eh? Where’s Little Seven and the others?”
As they asked, they returned.
When the two of them heard the commotion, they quickly walked to the door to take a look.
Wei Ting carried Ghostfear back to the house in the west courtyard, and Wei Liulang hurriedly followed.
“What happened? Why is Big Brother being carried back by Little Seven?”
Su Xiaoxiao said, “I’ll go take a look.”
Madam Li wanted to go too, but she turned around to look at the children and decided to guard them.
Wei Ting placed Ghostfear on the hard bed. “Sixth Brother, call Xiao…”
“I’m here.”
Su Xiaoxiao walked in.
She came to the bed. Wei Ting hung up the curtain and held the lamp with Wei Liulang. “Big Brother fought with Helian Ye and seriously injured him. At the critical moment, Big Brother’s mask fell off. Helian Ye said something. Big Brother suddenly hugged his head and cried out in pain.”
“The head?”
Su Xiaoxiao checked his head and eliminated the possibility of external injuries.
Wei Ting frowned and said, “Big Brother seems to have suddenly lost control… I tapped Big Brother’s acupoint.”
It was not easy to deal with Ghostfear. He had taken a few punches.
Su Xiaoxiao looked at the two of them. “Are you and Sixth Brother injured too?” Wei Ting said, “Take a look at Big Brother first. We’re fine.”
The two of them had only superficial injuries. It was indeed nothing serious.
On the other hand, their brother’s appearance was very worrying.
Su Xiaoxiao took the Ghostfear’s pulse and checked his injuries.
Helian Ye was a very powerful opponent. It was impossible to retreat unscathed from a battle with him. Ghostfear had some external injuries, but they were not that serious.
Su Xiaoxiao said, “From the pulse, there’s not much of a problem.”
Wei Ting said, “Big Brother seems to be very weak.”
It was dark just now, so the two of them could not see it clearly. Now that the oil lamp was shining, they realized that the Ghostfear was terrifyingly pale.
Su Xiaoxiao brought over saline and medicine. “He entered a weak period after the battle.”
“How could this be…” Wei Ting and Wei Liulang were stunned.
Wei Ting blamed himself. He had fought Slave Xiu before. There were signs before a death warrior entered a weak period. He did not notice such signs from his brother and thought that he would have to fight for a while before entering a weak period.
From the situation of the battle at that time, Helian Ye should not be able to
last until that time.
Su Xiaoxiao thought about it seriously and said, “It might not be a weak period after fighting Helian Ye. Didn’t you say that Big Brother suddenly had a headache? I think it might be related to this.”
Wei Liulang asked anxiously, “But why does Big Brother suddenly have a
headache? Is he really not injured or sick?”
“No.” Su Xiaoxiao was confident in her medical skills. Ghostfear was indeed injured, but it was definitely not to the extent of giving him a headache and causing him to enter a weak period.
“There’s one possibility,” she said. “He remembered something.”
In another courtyard of the palace, the medical officer of Northern Yan had also finished treating Helian Ye’s injuries. The sword of Ghostfear had stabbed deeply, almost piercing through his abdomen. The medical officer had used all the best medicine. Fortunately, it was him. If it were anyone else, they would have died.
Zhao Kangning sat by the bed and held Helian Ye’s hand. He choked and said, “Uncle, who hurt you? Tell Ning’er! Ning’er will avenge you!”
Helian Ye was unconscious and did not respond.
Zhao Kangning cried.
Helian Ye’s injury caused an uproar. This was clearly not the bite of a ferocious beast, but a sword wound. An envoy of Northern Yan went to Emperor Jing Xuan and asked him to give Northern Yan an explanation. Otherwise, he would be declaring war on Northern Yan.
Emperor Jing Xuan was also wronged. Although he couldn’t wait for Helian Ye to die, he wouldn’t kill so openly.
“Who didn’t leave the forest at that time?” he asked the commander of the imperial guards.
The commander of the Imperial Guards was surnamed Yang and was Emperor Jing Xuan’s trusted aide.
Commander Yang glanced at Su Cheng and said seriously, ‘Wei Ting.”
Su Cheng was shocked. “Wei Ting was out. He was playing with the children with the Empress Dowager.”
Emperor Jing Xuan sent someone to the Empress Dowager’s bedroom to ask.
The Empress Dowager said, “He came to pick up the children in the evening. I kept him for dinner. He just left not long ago. Are you looking for him?”
Helian Ye was found after dark. At that time, Wei Ting was having dinner at the Empress Dowager’s place. The Empress Dowager had even invited a few envoys from Northern Yan and Western Jin and their families. Everyone could testify.
That Wei Ting was Su Li in disguise.
Su Li was wondering why his brother was suddenly so kind as to bring him hunting. It turned out that he was using him as a tool again.
Emperor Jing Xuan expressed that he would definitely investigate this matter strictly.
Helian Ye did not know that there was a huge commotion outside. He lay on the bed, and Wei Ting’s mocking face flashed across his mind. “Helian Ye, do you know that you’re one unlucky guy?” “My grandfather has nothing to do with you!”
“Look at you. Which part of you looks like our Wei family?” “You’re not my grandfather’s son! You can’t be in this life!”
“I’m… I’m the son of Lord Wu An… I’m…”
“I’m…”
“You’re all lying to me… You’ve all let me down… All of you…” The door opened.
Under the eerie moonlight, a shadow slowly walked in..
