Chapter 1070 Shadow Stand-in, Pei State Temple Gathering

Pei State, Grand Military Governor's Office.

In a secret room, Governor Zi Yu frowned as he looked at the wound on his chest that was beginning to rot, his face grim and ugly.

His beautiful wife, Xiao Ai, turned pale with fear, and her hands holding the new ointment began to tremble:
"Husband, your wound seems to be getting worse again? What's going on?"

As the Grand Commander of Pei State, Zi Yu's family's golden wound medicine for treating trauma is definitely the best in the world.

Logically speaking, after a few days, the wound should have healed long ago and should not have eroded.

"This is the power of Yang Cang's Three-in-One Sword Technique!"

Commander Zi Yu was also panicked, but he was a veteran on the battlefield, accustomed to life and death. He took a deep breath and suppressed his panic:

"It is rumored that Yang Cang's Sanhe sword technique contains extremely strong and masculine energy. Anyone who is hit by it will either die or be crippled!"

"Then...what should I do? How about I go and ask the king to send a royal doctor?"

Although Xiao Ai came from a prominent family and had been the wife of the Grand Commander for several years, she was still frightened when she learned that her husband's life was in danger.

You know, she has been married for several years and has not given birth to a child for Zi Yu.

If the husband dies, then this family will have no descendants.

Zi Yu was still very scheming and he stopped his panicked wife:
"No need to call the imperial physician, go get Jingzhou over here!"

"Why call Jingzhou?"

Xiao Ai was a little confused.

Jingzhou is Zi Yu's 'shadow', or his substitute.

Normally, Zi Yu would only let Jingzhou show up in some potentially dangerous situations or gatherings.

Now that my husband is injured, why do I call him here?
"My injury cannot be known to outsiders, so he has to take my place until I recover..."

As Zi Yu spoke, he couldn't help but cough lightly.

Yang Cang's heavy sword hit Zi Yu's chest and injured his lung meridian.

Now, Zi Yu only has a slight cough. If he is not treated in time, his injury will become more and more serious.

Maybe even, you will really die.

Zi Yu needs to rest now, but the situation is critical. Zi Yu is afraid that his master will ask him to go into battle, so he can only let a substitute take his place for a while.

"Okay, I'll go call him now."

Seeing that her husband was seriously injured, Xiao Ai did not dare to delay and hurried to the dark room to look for her husband.

Less than half an hour.

Shadow Jingzhou changed into Zi Yu's casual clothes.

Xiao Ai looked at her husband, whose face was pale and decadent, and then looked at the handsome and heroic Yingzi Jingzhou. For some reason, a layer of blush appeared on her fair and delicate face.

Just as Zi Yu was giving Jingzhou instructions on how to play himself and introducing the current serious situation.

There was suddenly a noise outside the door.

A maid ran in in a panic and reported:

“Master, Madam, Lord Lu Yanlu is coming in with a group of soldiers!”

Zi Yu's heart trembled, and thinking of the recent situation, he quickly patted Shadow's shoulder:

"Jingzhou, go out and see what's going on!"

"Yes, Master!"

Jingzhou strode out of the bedroom. Zi Yu thought for a moment and then instructed his wife:

"Xiao Ai, you should go and take a look too. Don't let Jingzhou reveal any flaws."

"Yes, my husband, you take a rest first, I'll be back soon!"

Xiao Ai knew that the current situation in Pei State was not optimistic. Fearing that something unexpected might happen, she followed Jingzhou to the outside of the Governor's Mansion.

"The governor is coming out!"

When Lu Yan saw Jingzhou and Xiao Ai walking out of the gate, he couldn't tell whether they were real or fake, so he quickly introduced them to the people who were traveling with him:

"General Li, this is our Pei State's Grand Commander Zi Yu, and the one next to him is his wife. They are very close and harmonious, and this is a great story in our Pei State!"

Li Yuanjie narrowed his eyes, looked at the two people, waved his hand, and dozens of Yi Nu soldiers immediately surrounded Jingzhou and Xiao Ai. Jingzhou and Xiao Ai saw that the people were brought by Lu Yan, so they did not dare to resist, but wanted to find out the truth:

"Lord Lu, what do you mean?"

"Governor, this is a long story. His Majesty is still waiting for you in the temple. Let's talk while we walk."

Lu Yan didn't bother to explain anything to Jingzhou and Xiao Ai, and hurriedly asked them to follow him on the boat and head straight to the temple of Pei State.

……

Temple of Pei State.

In order to celebrate the fact that no fighting was done, Su Mingzhe asked Pei Liang, who was demoted to 'King of Pei', to arrange a banquet.

Pei State not only has many mountains and rivers, but also many beauties.

During the several songs and dances, at least hundreds of beauties took turns to appear on stage.

Most of the Han army generals were former soldiers. They had never seen so many beauties before. They were dazzled and distracted.

As the Emperor of Han, Su Mingzhe waved his hand, indicating to all the generals present that they could take four dancers home to enjoy themselves according to their merits.

As the Han army generals left happily, the atmosphere in the temple eased a little.

Su Mingzhe, in a drunken state, suddenly asked the audience:

"Lord Pei, is the residence of Commander Zi Yu far away? Why hasn't he arrived yet? Is it possible that he is unwilling to serve the Han Dynasty?"

"No, no."

Peiliang replied cautiously:

"Reporting to His Majesty, Mr. Zhou Ziyu went to Jingzhou to challenge Yang Cang some time ago and was stabbed. He has been recuperating in the mansion these days. He must have known that he would meet His Majesty, so he needed to bathe and change clothes, which delayed him a little."

"Yang Cang's Sanhe sword technique is indeed extraordinary. It is not easy for the injured to recover."

Su Mingzhe smiled and said:

"I happen to have some excellent wound medicine here. I will apply it to him when Commander Zi Yu arrives."

Peiliang couldn't help but smile and said:

"Zi Yu must be grateful to the emperor for his concern. He will be loyal to the emperor and will not hesitate to die!"

While the two were chatting and laughing, the Han emperor's personal guards reported that Zi Yu, the commander-in-chief of Pei State, had arrived outside the temple.

"Xuan!"

Su Mingzhe sat upright on the futon, looking up.

Soon, a tall and handsome man, hand in hand with a graceful lady, slowly walked into the temple.

"Zi Yu from Pei pays homage to His Majesty the Emperor of Han!"

On the way, Lu Yan had already told Jingzhou and Xiao Ai about King Pei's surrender to the Han Kingdom.

Only then did Jingzhou and Xiao Ai appear with calm expressions.

"No need to be polite, Governor!"

Su Mingzhe laughed, trying hard not to let his eyes fall on Xiao Ai's slender figure.

"I heard from Pei Gong that the governor challenged Yang Cang a few days ago and was stabbed. I wonder how the governor's injury is recovering?"

Jingzhou didn't expect that Su Mingzhe, the Han Emperor, would care so much about him, and immediately replied cautiously:
"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. It's just a minor knife wound. I'm fine now."

"It's okay."

After hearing this, Su Mingzhe patted the golden wound medicine on the table with a look of regret and said:

"Before I led my troops to attack Jingzhou, I heard that Yang Cang's Sanhe sword technique was extremely strong and masculine. If you were hit by him, you would either die or be crippled. There is no chance of survival. To be on the safe side, I ordered people to prepare a special medicine for wounds."

"I heard that the governor was injured, and I wanted to give him some medicine as a favor, but I saw that he looked refreshed, so I thought he had recovered. Unfortunately, I can't do this favor."

After hearing what Su Mingzhe said, Jingzhou's face turned pale.

He also didn't expect that he would miss the elixir for his master's healing when he just attended a banquet on behalf of his master.

Compared with Jingzhou's change in expression, Xiao Ai simply lowered her head so that others would not notice the change in her eyes.

Su Mingzhe pretended to be ignorant of this, and then said with a smile:
"Now that the Grand Commander has arrived, let's continue singing and dancing!"
