Chapter 255
Chapter 268 Assassination of the Emperor (5k
Hai Wuya entered the deep palace and did not return all night.
Hai Siyuan waited all night, but at dawn, he saw the notices posted by officers and soldiers throughout the imperial capital.
These notices were plastered on the wall like snowflakes, announcing the identity of the Wujihui rebels in Haiwuya and their imminent execution.
Hai Siyuan stood at the street notice for a long time, and then he went straight to Dong Xinglin Medical Center on the outskirts of the city with Qiao Mu, Wayne and others.
"Mr. Qiao, do you know the details of Dr. Dong Xinglin?" Hai Siyuan asked.
Standing in front of him was Qiao Shuangqiu, whom Hai Siyuan had met for the first time.
But he was used to it, and after a brief conversation, he became somewhat familiar with it.
The Qiao family died too quickly, and sometimes a strange elder of the Qiao family would appear, which was not a big problem.
Now that Hai Wuya was about to be executed, Hai Siyuan felt somewhat frightened, so he asked Qiao Mu a few questions.
After all, in his eyes, the Qiao family are seniors with strong martial arts skills, and it is normal to know a lot of things.
"Dong Xinglin... I only know that he is a famous doctor in the imperial capital, and he is very famous." Qiao Mu said.
He had been to Dong Xinglin's medical clinic once before, and his "Broken Void Finger" was also written by Dong Xinglin.
This old miracle doctor may also know martial arts, but he didn't leave a deep impression on Qiao Mu.
"You should ask yourself this, right?" Qiao Mu asked back:
"What is Dong Xinglin's background? Why did Hai Wuya mention him before entering the palace? Don't you have any confidence at all?"
Hai Siyuan was helpless.
Hai Siyuan was not familiar with Dong Xinglin. He only knew that this person seemed to be an acquaintance of Hai Wuya and had frequent contacts in the past few months.
According to Hai Wuya, there is no separation between medicine and martial arts. The miracle doctor Dong Xinglin is not only excellent in medical skills, but also quite accomplished in martial arts.
Therefore, in order to continue to deduce the Sutra of King Sumeru, he often communicated with Dong Xinglin, a miracle doctor, and came to discuss it every now and then.
These people were all experts and moved very quickly. They arrived at Dong Xinglin Medical Center in a short time.
But when he walked into the hospital to find Dong Xinglin and told Dong Xinglin Hai Wuya's final instructions, the other party looked at a loss.
"Before Ebi entered the palace, he said that if he didn't come back, he would ask you to come find me?"
Dong Xinglin was even more confused than Hai Siyuan, and it took him half a day to sort out his thoughts.
"What kind of clever tips... There is no such thing, and I have never heard Hai Lao mention it." Dong Xinglin shook his head:
"Actually, I don't know what Hai Lao's advice means... I'm just a doctor, not a peerless master of martial arts, so what's the use of coming to me?"
Dong Xinglin and Hai Siyuan looked at each other, both of them confused, not understanding what Hai Wuya meant at all.
But Qiao Mu spoke at this time:
"In that case, Divine Doctor Dong, Hai Wuya has been coming to the medical clinic to look for you in the past few months. What is the reason?"
Dong Xinglin said:
"Do you even need to ask?"
"I am not a martial arts master, but a doctor. So naturally Ebi comes to my clinic to see a doctor."
"Old Hai is very old. He has been sitting in a ghostly place like Tianlao for thirty years. He has already suffered from the root of the disease and is terminally ill. He doesn't have much time left."
Terminal ill?
Hai Siyuan was stunned.
He didn't know the relationship between Hai Wuya and Wu Jihui, nor did he know that Hai Wuya's illness was so serious. Only then did he realize that after seeing the "Human Dao Jing" for the first time, Hai Wuya said What does the saying "Hear the Tao in the morning and die in the evening" mean?
"My father, what disease is he suffering from? Even Divine Doctor Dong can't do anything for you?" Hai Siyuan asked.
"Actually, it's not a disease." Divine Doctor Dong sighed:
"Ebi is already very old, and he has been in Heavenly Prison for a long time, and his internal organs are weak."
Practicing martial arts can strengthen the body, but strengthening the body and being immune to all diseases are two different things.
Hai Wuya was a lay disciple of the Shaolin Temple in his early years. He practiced the fierce external martial arts that mainly focused on qi and blood. These external martial arts warriors are inherently more susceptible to aging than internal martial arts warriors.
As soon as some martial arts warriors turn thirty, the hidden wounds accumulated in their early years will explode, and their vitality and blood will decline, just like the money in Heyang Prefecture that arrests the head.
For internal practitioners who specialize in practicing internal energy, even if their qi and blood have declined and their bodies have weakened, as long as they practice diligently, their internal energy can continue to grow.
Doctor Dong said again:
"The Sumeru King Sutra is not an ordinary martial arts. When he was reciting the Sumeru King Sutra in his early years, he actually went crazy several times. Although the extent was not serious, he did suffer from hidden injuries."
"Sumishan King Sutra" is very different from today's martial arts techniques. Although it is only a prototype, it can still be regarded as an epoch-making technique.
In the initial stage of creation, such a technique is too far removed from today's martial arts, and can easily lead to obsession.
Later, Hai Wuya became more proficient in learning. He crossed the river by feeling for the stones, step by step, and the derivation of the exercises was no longer radical. It took thirty years to deduce the first version of the "Sutra of the King of Mount Sumeru".
That's why he was so surprised when he saw Qiao Mu's "Human Dao Jing".
Because even he, the founder of "Sumishan King Sutra", almost died due to obsession, but the ancestor of the Qiao family seemed to have accomplished the "Human Way" in less than half a month, which he could not complete despite all his life's efforts. through".
Divine Doctor Dong said: "Hai Lao came to me because he was actually trying to heal the hidden wounds... But who can cure the hidden wounds that have lasted for decades?"
"All I can do is help him breathe a little longer and live longer."
"And these few months of life are almost at their limit. Now that he has left me and is under house arrest by the current emperor, even if he wants to..."
"Let me tell you bluntly, with Ebi's current condition, if he is placed under house arrest, he may not survive the execution day in three days."
Dr. Dong didn't say anything anymore because he suddenly understood why Hai Wuya asked Hai Siyuan to come to him specially before entering the palace.
Hai Wuya had never had a relationship with Divine Doctor Dong before, so his sudden arrest was beyond Hai Wuya's expectation.
So the meaning of Hai Wuya is actually very obvious.
Qiao Mu took another look at the Divine Doctor Dong.
If it is true that according to what he said, Hai Wuya's condition is so serious, but this miracle doctor is able to help Hai Wuya survive until now, then he is indeed worthy of his reputation and is not an ordinary person.
Qiao Mu said in a deep voice: "Hai Wuya knew that he had no way out, so he only used the words of Divine Doctor Dong to tell you until now..."
"He is already terminally ill and has reached his twilight years, so there is no need to save him."
"Even if we save him, it will be in vain."
As for why Hai Wuya didn't explain, I think he was pretending to have a so-called clever plan to prevent Hai Siyuan from resisting the order, and the second was to delay time.
When that night passes, Hai Wuya will probably be dead. If he goes to see Doctor Dong at that time, everything will be over.
"Is that what you meant?" Hai Siyuan was silent for a long time before bidding farewell to Divine Doctor Dong and returning to Hai Mansion.
Qiao Mu also followed.
As soon as they entered Hai Mansion, hundreds of pairs of eyes looked over.
These people are veterans of the isolated city who practice martial arts in Haifu. They watched Hai Wuya being arrested yesterday, and naturally they felt unhappy, so like Hai Siyuan, they waited until now.
Hai Wuya was the biological father of Hai Siyuan, the leader of the old soldiers. He was also the one who explained to them the Sutra of the King of Mount Sumeru and the Sutra of Humanity. He also served as the Minister of Rites and paid homage to the souls of 100,000 heroes outside Xi'an Pass.
Although Hai Wuya was not a comrade like Hai Siyuan who had fought side by side with them for many years, they also took into consideration what Hai Wuya did.
"General Hai, I have found out everything clearly." Li Changshi said:
"I have an old acquaintance who holds an important position in the Heavenly Prison, and he told me...Brother Hai has not been sent to the Heavenly Prison, and he probably has not left the palace, so he may be temporarily under house arrest."
"Are you under house arrest in the palace..." Hai Siyuan nodded.
"This is Mr. Qiao Shuangtuo Qiao." Hai Siyuan introduced simply, and then changed the subject:
"Mr. Qiao, come here, do you have something to say?"
Although they met Qiao Shuangmao for the first time, the Qiao family had saved them several times, and the Qiao family had died many times as a result. This was one of the main reasons why they, the old soldiers, were able to escape from the desert.
Therefore, even if it was Qiao Shuangtuo whom they met for the first time, he had great reputation in their eyes and deserved their respect.
This is the reputation that the Qiao family has built up by piling up corpses one after another.
"What I want to say is..." Qiao Mu looked at the old man in the room.
Except for Li Changshi, Hai Siyuan and other veterans are almost in their sixties, their hair is gray, and they are all very old.
But Qiao Mu is actually the oldest among them.
Therefore, he decisively relies on his old skills and sells his old skills:
"You are no longer frivolous teenagers. Naturally, you have to look forward and backward when doing things, think carefully, and weigh the pros and cons. This is how adults do."
"Today, I'm here to weigh the pros and cons for you."
"Even if you go to break into the heavenly prison, break into the palace, or rob the execution ground in three days, there is only one ending, and that is the annihilation of the entire army."
"Even if you succeed, you won't be able to save Hai Wuya, because he is already terminally ill and doesn't have much time left."
"This is also the choice Hai Wuya made. Is it possible that what he wants to see is you striking an egg against a stone?"
"This is the imperial capital, not a hundred-mile desert anymore."
Hai Siyuan and others looked at each other.
The truth is this.
When adults do things, they often have to weigh the pros and cons and look forward and backward.
But when these words were spoken by the Qiao family, they gave them a rather strange feeling.
But that last sentence really made Hai Siyuan and others feel something.
When they were in the Baili Desert, although the environment was difficult, the environment they had to face was still relatively simple.
The old soldiers had no other way out, so they could only choose to fight to the death, because there was no point in surrendering. What the foreigners wanted was the soul of the soldiers, and they would not leave any survivors.
But what they are facing now is actually more complicated, and it is not a difficulty that can be solved with courage.
"Courageous but reckless behavior is just a reckless act." Qiao Mu continued seriously:
"Let me put it bluntly, even if you break into the heavenly prison and the palace, Hai Wuya won't be able to survive for a few more days. It's just a few lives in vain."
"Any choice must bear the corresponding consequences and costs."
When Qiao Mu said this, he looked at Hai Wuya's eldest son, the current naval general Hai Siyuan, and said:
"Hai Wuya has made his choice, and I hope you will also respect his choice."
Hai Siyuan was silent for a long time, and his face gradually turned gloomy.
This is not a simple matter of courage, but Hai Wuya's end is approaching, and even gods can't save him.
Hai Siyuan had been fighting in an isolated city in the desert for forty years. If there was a possibility of saving his own father, he would certainly not hesitate.
"I understand," he whispered.
He was not young either, and he did not shed any tears, but his expression was gloomy.
"Then let this matter end here."
Qiao Mu didn't say much, walked out of Haifu alone, and picked an inn to stay in near Haifu.
For most of the next day, he petted the cat in his room to recharge his energy while observing the movements of Hai Mansion.
Until the sun set in the west and dusk fell, he didn't see Hai Siyuan and other veterans coming or going, so he knew it in his heart.
"I've finished weighing the pros and cons for Hai Siyuan and the others. Now it's time to weigh the pros and cons for me." Qiao Mu said to himself.
Like the veterans, Qiao Mu is no longer an impulsive and frivolous young man.
Weighing the pros and cons beforehand is the right thing to do.
Hai Wuya and Qiao Mu had some friendship in many identities, but because Qiao Mu died so quickly, the friendship was not very deep.
If we talk about Hai Wuya's original "Sutra of the King of Mount Sumeru", Qiao Mu has now come to his senses. This martial arts technique should be the fulfillment of the promise made by Wu Jihui after they assassinated Emperor Yonghe in Nanzhou.
As for personal rewards for Hai Wuya, Qiao Mu also gave them.
There is a more complete and higher-level "Sutra of the King of Mount Sumeru", as well as the latest half of the "Human Dao Sutra", and the eldest son of Hai Wuya, who had been trapped for forty years, was rescued from the Baili Desert.
Give me peaches and give me Qiong Yao.
Qiao Mu has done his best and doesn't owe Hai Wuya anything.
The biggest problem is that Hai Wuya's end is approaching and his life has come to an end. No matter whether he goes or not, he will die. The most he can do is give Hai Wuya a more comfortable way to die.
