In the post house where the Great Xia diplomatic mission was staying, Zhou Shu once again ca into close contact with the Qin emperor.
With the Qin emperor personally arriving, Zhou Shu, the official envoy of the diplomatic mission, definitely had to show his face.
“Your Majesty, what brings you here?” Zhou Shu said while cupping his hands.
“I heard that your country’s Great General ng is also in the diplomatic mission. In the past, Great General ng and I t once. I ca here today to et an old friend,” the Qin emperor said calmly.
“Sorry.” Zhou Shu shook his head. “Your Majesty, you ca at a bad ti. The great general’s injuries are severe. After taking so dicine, he fell asleep.”
ng Bai was still consolidating his cultivation in his room. Zhou Shu naturally wouldn’t let the Qin emperor disturb him.
“Is that so?” the Qin emperor said indifferently. “I heard that Great General ng was seriously injured, so I specially brought the imperial physicians over to let them diagnose him.”
The Qin emperor looked straight at Zhou Shu, his gaze filled with oppression.
Zhou Shu didn’t avoid it and looked straight into the eyes of the Qin emperor.
He was observing the Qin emperor.
If his previous speculations were true, then the cultivation of the Qin emperor would be affected if sothing went wrong with Great Qin’s imperial cauldron.
Now, the Qin emperor didn’t seem to have changed.
His aura was as deep as the ocean, and he gave people the feeling that he was a lion ready to attack.
It was so deep that even Zhou Shu felt a sense of danger.
The sense of danger was stronger than what he felt from Xu Shi.
Zhou Shu was just about to speak when ng Bai’s voice suddenly sounded. “I appreciate your kind intentions.”
A wheelchair was pushed out.
ng Bai was sitting in the wheelchair, his face aged, his hair already white.
His breath was weak, and he coughed from ti to ti, looking like he was in his last years.
Seeing ng Bai’s appearance, the Qin emperor, Xu Shi, and others all frowned slightly.
ng Bai didn’t look like a first-rank martial artist at all.
“My injuries are incurable. There’s no need to trouble your imperial physicians.” While speaking, ng Bai coughed intensely again, looking like he might die at any ti.
“Since we’re here, we have to let them diagnose you, Great General.” The Qin emperor narrowed his eyes.
Without waiting for ng Bai to agree or refuse, he waved his hand, and a middle-aged man already walked out from behind him.
This middle-aged man directly walked in front of ng Bai and reached out his hand to take ng Bai’s pulse.
Suddenly, his vision went black. A tall and sturdy figure was already standing between him and ng Bai.
“Chengliang, stand down,” ng Bai ordered.
The guard nad Chengliang hesitated for a mont before retreating back behind ng Bai.
ng Bai generously extended his arm. “Your Majesty, since you are so generous, then I will have to trouble you.”
The man reached out his fingers and pressed them against ng Bai’s wrist.
After a while, he retracted his hand.
“I am incompetent. I am powerless against Great General ng’s injuries.” He sighed and shook his head before returning to the Qin emperor’s side.
“It’s not that. My injuries are already ineffective against dicine,” ng Bai said with a bitter smile.
The Qin emperor’s expression didn’t change as he said, “Great Qin still has many famous doctors. Later, I will get them to diagnose you, Great General ng.”
“Thank you, Your Majesty, but there is no need.” ng Bai shook his head. “I am well aware of my own situation. My body cannot hold on any longer.
“Since Your Majesty is here, I shall be thick-skinned and make a request.
“As the saying goes, the fallen leaves return to their roots. I am about to die from old age, and I want to die in my holand. Now that the matters of the Great Xia diplomatic mission are more or less settled, I wish to bid farewell to Your Majesty. I hope Your Majesty will permit it.”
“Sure, I will issue the imperial decree. Great General ng, please rest well. I won’t disturb you any further.” He stood up and bid farewell.
After leaving the diplomatic mission of Great Xia, the Qin emperor frowned. “Are there any experts from Great Qin residing nearby?”
If the one who broke through wasn’t ng Bai, then who was it?
“There are two second-rank martial artists. I wonder if they are the ones who broke through,” a minister said.
“Go and investigate. I don’t believe that a second-rank martial artist would suddenly appear in my capital.” The Qin emperor snorted.
Inside the post house, after ng Bai confird that the Qin emperor and his group had already left, his face revealed a relaxed expression.
“Great General, you…” Yin Wuyou, Lu Wenshuang, and the others all looked at ng Bai in shock.
ng Bai had already stood up from the wheelchair. Following his movents, his white hair turned black at a visible speed.
The wrinkles on his face seed to have flattened.
He only took a second to stand up.
A second ago, he was a seriously injured old man on the verge of death.
One second later, he turned into a suave middle-aged man.
Yin Wuyou blinked and asked, “Great General, have you really recovered?”
“I’m fully recovered. Not only am I fully recovered, but I’ve also profited from a disaster and attained the first rank of the Martial Dao.” ng Bai was unable to conceal the happiness on his face.
After being entangled by injuries for decades, even ng Bai found it hard to hide the excitent in his heart.
“Great General, how did you recover?” Yin Wuyou asked curiously.
“Great General, how did you hide from Great Qin’s imperial physician?” Zhou Shu interrupted.
ng Bai glanced at Zhou Shu and understood his thoughts. He smiled and said, “It’s just a small trick, not worth ntioning.”
