In order to help Dou Ding fulfill his wish, Xiao Chumo and Yu Panxi made a decision after discussion to temporarily leave the frontier and return to Kyoto.

Because the image of the two was already in the minds of the subjects of Ning State, they were like heroes, so as soon as the news of their return came out, the people in the city immediately cheered and shouted: "There is salvation!" Now we're finally saved! ”

And the Taishi, who was sneering at him before, was dying at this time, and when he heard the news of the funeral of the university scholar, he was afraid that soon after, his own body would also fall into such a fate, and he couldn't help but think about it all day, but the housekeeper who was sent to welcome Xiao Chumo back to the dynasty was rejected by Yu Panxi.

Just when he saw that the last trace of hope was about to disappear, he suddenly heard the news that Xiao Chumo and his wife were on their way back to Kyoto, and he immediately reflected the light of impatience like a critically ill person, and his eyes reflected the light that he couldn't wait, called the housekeeper, and said:

"You go to the city to meet the regent and the princess as soon as possible, and you must bring the two of them to the palace, I am a dignified national master, and I must not be so desperate under the plague!"

"But when the villain went to the frontier to beg the princess to return to the court, the princess clearly refused with cold words, why did they suddenly change their minds now, and the silent class teacher returned to the court?" The housekeeper was puzzled, in his mind, it was clear that Yu Panxi's categorical words were still echoing that day, but only a few days later, Xiao Chumo and Yu Panxi actually changed their minds again, which was really incomprehensible.

However, for the Taishi who was in a hurry to go to the doctor, the return of the two of them was equivalent to igniting his hope of living, so he ignored the real reason why they wanted to return to the dynasty. It's just a fleeting sight.

Seeing that the housekeeper was still stunned in a daze, the master was in a hurry, and his voice couldn't help but be a little stern, but it also led to coughing up blood, and he urged: "What are you doing stupidly here?" Let's go and bring them both here! ”

"Yes, the little ones will go." The butler said yes again and again, and immediately ran out of the house.

When Xiao Chumo and Yu Panxi arrived in Kyoto in the warm welcome of the people, they really saw that this place was much more desolate than before, probably because of the spread of the plague, which made the people in the city panic, and everyone was afraid of being infected, so the merchants who set up stalls in the city to sell goods, or the men, women and children who had nothing to do to go shopping, did not dare to go out again, right?

"It seems that going back to Beijing is the right decision." Yu Panxi lifted the curtain, looked at the empty scene of the street, sighed and twisted her eyebrows, and touched her eyes to Douding.

He was the initiator of all this, but now after seeing this scene, instead of disagreeing, he raised his eyebrows and swore an oath: "The control of the plague is just a pediatric for me, I don't intend to infect them at all, I just want to vent my evil anger for my father and mother, and take care of those mercenary ministers." ”

"I know that you have great powers, but if you don't tell your thoughts, how many ordinary people can know? And the officials and their families whom you have taken revenge on, are you sure that they are all selfish, and that there are no good-hearted people among them? Yu Panxi sighed, and patiently explained the reason to Dou Ding, hoping that he would not be so extreme in the future.

Under Yu Panxi's careful teaching, Dou Ding seemed to realize his mistake at this time, lowered his head, and murmured aggrievedly: "I'm sorry mother, I know my mistake, I won't dare next time." ”

"That's good."

Just when Yu Panxi was very pleased, the housekeeper who had not hesitated to risk his life to run to the frontier and complete the Taishi's instructions suddenly appeared again, stopped Xiao Chumo's high-headed war horse, and in front of everyone's eyes, he knelt down on the ground and begged: "Please do well with the two of you, just go and see my master, the master is seriously ill on the couch, and he has begun to vomit blood since yesterday, if according to the results of the doctor's pulse, my master is afraid that he will not survive tonight!" ”

The butler's sobbing sound resounded throughout the empty street, after the outbreak of the plague, the most important thing in the entire Ningguo Kyoto was the heart-rending cry, the people had already heard it numbly, but Xiao Chumo knew the real culprit behind this tragedy, his sword eyebrows frowned slightly, and he pulled the horse rope to the carriage where Yu Panxi's mother and son were, and said, "I will send someone to send Douding back to the house first, and you will go with me, Taishi?" ”

Even if the grievances between them were deep before, Xiao Chumo couldn't refuse the housekeeper in front of the people, so that everyone in Ning Guo knew about their disagreement, which would have a great impact on helping Dou Ding to complete the great cause in the future.

Yu Panxi knew Xiao Chumo's thoughts, and she agreed.

After many days, when Yu Panxi saw Taishi again, he was no longer the arrogant and arrogant old man he used to be, but a poor man with a pale face and a little blood on his white beard, but his wife and children were afraid of being infected with the plague, and no one dared to come forward to serve.

"Ahem." On the sickbed, the Taishi gasped with difficulty, a faint hoarse sound in his throat, his eyes were scattered, and the handkerchief he coughed was full of blood, which was shocking, "The two forgive the sin, the old minister's stump is really unable to get up and salute." ”

"It's okay, the master will lie down." Xiao Chumo flicked his sleeves, and there was no pity and sympathy for the Taishi in his cold eyes, because he knew that he was responsible for the current situation, but he was to blame!

Yu Panxi was silent, sitting on the mahogany table in his room and drinking tea, unlike those who shy away from the Taishi, Yu Panxi seemed to be not afraid of being infected by it at all, although it was just a simple small action, but it was enough to make him feel a little comforted in this short period of time.

He faced Yu Panxi, his throat hoarse and said: "I don't want to die, but in the face of the main reason for this tragic situation, I also know that this is all fate!" Princess, you and the prince are the chosen ones, like the guardian gods of Ningguo, but I am blinded by power, and I want to drive you two out of Kyoto, against the will of heaven, and it is natural for me to suffer from God's curse! ”

While speaking, Taishi's already pale face was even more bloodless due to emotion.

Yu Panxi only played with the cup in his hand, smiled indifferently, and said: "First the frontier, and then the streets where the people gathered, Taishi, you took such great pains to send people to find us, probably you don't know that you are saying such hypocritical words, right?" As you might expect, your crippled body will not be able to survive tonight, don't you think it's all the more important to seize this precious time and talk about something else? ”

"I just returned to Kyoto, I am busy with official business, and I really don't have much time for you to waste and entertain, if you don't have anything else to say, then our couple will leave first." Xiao Chumo's eagle eyes narrowed and said.

Obviously, if the two of them leave here, then the next time they see Taishi, I'm afraid it will be at his funeral, right?
