Yuan saw his mother unconscious in the arms of someone he did not know, and ran towards her while attacking the enemy soldiers who approached her.
" Take him off." Yuan's voice sounded intimidating, he looked at the man who didn't even realize Yuan was already nearby because it was too late to look at his mother's face.
The man looked at Yuan like he was looking at his enemy, as some enemy soldiers approached them, the two of them easily fended off and finished them off but the sight of the two people never came off.
Yuan moves forward to snatch his mother out of fear that the man is an enemy in disguise and will hurt his mother plus worry about her mother's relapsing poison, if it is too late to treat it then it will not be helped anymore so he must immediately take his mother away from here.
Yuan attacked but was easily repelled by him, before this there was no one who was able to fend off Yuan's attack let alone he attacked with full force, so he retreated a few steps due to the stalk, so he retreated a few steps, Yuan stared intently at the man, then attacked again so that there was a snatch plus enemy soldiers who approached and attacked them.
The man simply did not want to release Jiang from his embrace.
" Jiang..get up..." The man tried to build Jiang up by shaking his body that was in his arms, but his vigilance did not diminish at all.
Yuan attacked again, but this time Yuan made him desperate because he could not freely dodge the deadly Yuan attack because Jiang was in his arms, Jiang finally put it on the ground.
he stared hard at Yuan.
" You are a great young man, but unfortunately your life until here, I can't forgive the man who dared to attack Jiang, you must be an enemy in disguise and try to hurt him." Zhang Han clasped his sword tightly and prepared to attack Yuan.
Zhang Han quickly played his sword and attacked Yuan, Yuan lost just a few moves, he thought about how to take his mother away from here when the man was off guard. Yuan then attacked Zhang Han, as the enemy soldier approached again, and Yuan had a chance, he immediately ran up to his mother and carried her back, as he turned his shoulders back.
Yuan looked back, the attacking soldier had already perished, 'The power of his inner strength and his sword skills are truly extraordinary.' thought Yuan, he then dodged Zhang Han's attack but did not expect that he would get a kick of his stomach so that he retreated, he fell on his knees with one leg, because tired and the burden of Jiang on his back felt heavy, so he was afraid of falling back down, while he was worried that his mother's body began to turn blue.
Zhang Han noticed the body change in Jiang then stared angrily at Yuan.
" When did you POISON HIM....?" zhang Han shouted furiously, he then ran to attack Yuan suddenly the sound of strings that although not containing power in being able to make Zhang Han directly close his ears because the sound released can break the eardrum even more heritable the voice affected nothing but him.
Another young man ran with the guqin in his hand and he skillfully picked the guqin and specifically pointed it at Zhang Han, and a middle-aged man chasing after the young man from behind him was Xuan and chief governor Gu.
Zhang Han covered his ears using deep force but he didn't even quite make himself feel calm as the sound of the strings kept piercing his ears, for that he remained standing and his hand trembled slightly as it held back the power of music that could somehow be as great as it was, he then dashed to attack Xuan and swung his sword at his Neck.
As their distance was close, Xuan shouted. " YUAN...take mother away from here.." the sword stopped in the air right about to hit Xuan's neck, Xuan was also surprised because of the swift attack, too, Zhang Han looked at Xuan's face and only realized that the two young men's faces were similar.
" Sir...?" Zhang Han repeated his words then looked at Xuan, he then pulled Xuan's collar.
" What did you mean, mother?... Who did you call mother?..." Zhang Han asked for an explanation. Xuan then violently removed his collar from Zhang Han's grip, seeing his mother's alarming condition.
Zhang Han hung on as Xuan just passed by to meet Yuan.
" Hurry and bring me to the treatment room..." Yuan immediately nodded then ran followed by Xuan, the soldiers behind them cheering as they had already repulsed the enemy forces and Wei Chan had already rode towards Zhang Han.
Governor Gu had already seen two great generals so he could instantly recognize Wei Chan and immediately kneel in salute, Wei Chan got off his horse as he saw Zhang Han staring at the two young men who were running and carrying someone.
" Your Majesty..." Upon hearing that Governor Gu was shocked to see the man let alone that he had already witnessed how Xuan and Yuan were fighting with him, he immediately broke out in a cold sweat, if their emperor wanted both his lives then it was regrettable that governor Gu would lose two of the most talented men in his city.
Zhang Han then ran after Xuan and Yuan, so Wei Chan chased after Zhang Han, Governor Gu was surprised so he went in pursuit for fear of punishing the two brothers, he would ask for the victory reward by exchanging Xuan and Yuan's lives to be saved.
Jiang was brought into their resting room because there had to be a special room to treat Jiang, Xuan then had Yuan make embers to heat the entire room, while he would make medicine.
As Xuan and Yuan worked, Zhang Han suddenly walked in, he immediately clasped Jiang's cold hands and blue lips.
" What are you doing?" yelled Yuan furiously." EXIT.." Zhang Han's eyes glazed over.
" What happened to him? tell me... What happened to Jiang?..."Shouted Zhang Han,
" Stop calling Jiang's name, my mom's Si Shi, come out..." Yuan then forced Zhang Han out, but Zhang Han refused, Governor Gu immediately entered followed by Wei Chan.
" I will explain, but let them treat physician Si first" governor Gu said.
" If you insist, then the life of the physician Si will not be helped." Zhang Han was silent and then he left the room, Governor Gu explained the illness Jiang suffered, he did not know how the poison had been in his body, since he was pregnant.
Zhang Han closed his eyes but both his eyes rolled tears that did not stop overshadowing how the life of his wife and son during this time of the story of governor Gu.Wei Chan touched his shoulders to calm him down.
" Your Majesty..." Wei Chan patted Zhang Han softly on the shoulder as he understood best how Zhang Han felt plus he almost killed his two children if he was a little too late holding his sword which he swung with all his might.
Yuan exited the room with sweat flooding all over him, he closed the door and stood guard at the door while Xuan was still inside, Governor Gu then approached Yuan to find out Jiang's state.
" Yuan... How is your mother?" Yuan shook his head in a doldrums.
" Mother's circumstances are severe, now Xuan is accompanying mother inside, but I'm afraid Xuan can't endure the heat without the inner strength to compensate, I couldn't get hurt and Xuan forbade me to accompany him, while not knowing when mom would wake up, Xuan had to stay on guard inside so that the fire inside didn't go out." a loud cough sounded from inside, Yuan clenched his hands.
Zhang Han then stood up. " Let me go in and keep him company, I have a cold illness, I can definitely hang in there, you guys just need to tell me what to do." Yuan stared at the man for a long time, he actually wanted to ask but seeing governor Gu respecting him meant they were important people sent. Governor Gu asked Yuan to consider Zhang Han's wishes, saying, he still did not tell her that in front of him was the emperor.
Yuan then knocked on the door, before long Xuan appeared then opened the door, his eyes red and his cough sounding rough.
" What's up?"Yuan then informed him what Zhang Han proposed, after all if Xuan couldn't hold on then it would only be in vain.
" It seems we don't have any other choice, it's for the mother's safety." Xuan also knew that he could not force himself with his condition.
" Sister, if he dares to hurt mother, I will kill him.." Yuan's voice sounded threatening.
" Keep your talk.he is..." Zhang Han immediately stopped Wei Chan, however,
" I understand.I won't let Jiang get hurt even if I have to sacrifice a life." he sounded convinced. Xuan was the most calm and thoughtful, so he approached Zhang Han and explained what to do.
" The master must not go out of this room for a week, the duty of the Master is to keep the fire inside burning, the Master must not be off guard or asleep, the Master must stay awake, if one of the fires goes out then the sequence is no longer insured, if the mother experiences hallucinations whether she screams, cries or anything immediately dissolve this drug into the place of the embers so that the smoke can calm her down, food will be delivered twice a day, will you be able?"
" I can." Zhang Han replied firmly.
He then prepared whatever he should wear or use because after this he should not leave the room when Xuan had already spread the medicinal herbs for Jiang in the room.
The door was immediately shut tightly as Zhang Han walked in with a handkerchief that covered his nose and mouth from the smoke of the room as well as the medicinal herbs he brought for Jiang.
