76: I'm not awake yet, artificial respiration

In the City.

An ancient mansion.

Xie Wuji lay on the bed, his expression somewhat numb. With one arm severed, he had become a cripple.

And all of this was Xie Weilou's doing. He wished he could slice Xie Weilou into a thousand pieces to quell the hatred in his heart.

Originally, he thought that on the trip to Snow Wolf Valley, Xie Wushang would surely kill Xie Weilou, but he never expected Xie Wushang to die in Snow Wolf Valley while Xie Weilou remained unharmed. This made him even more furious.

"Why isn't that beast Xie Weilou dead yet?"

Xie Wuji said with venom in his eyes.

"Don't worry! He'll be dead soon."

A cold voice sounded as Xie Cangxuan walked in.

Xie Wuji sat up and quickly said, "Father, are you... are you going to make a move on Xie Weilou?"

A chilling killing intent flashed in Xie Cangxuan's eyes: "That little beast Xie Weilou must die! According to the news I received, he has already left Tianqi City. This time, I will make sure he never returns."

An excited look appeared on Xie Wuji's face: "It's a pity I can't personally crush him..."

Xie Cangxuan gently patted Xie Wuji's shoulder and said with a serious expression, "Although you've lost an arm, don't give up on yourself. Next, I will find some good things for you. You must cultivate well. As long as your cultivation improves, you can regrow your severed arm in the future. Now I only have you as a son. If Xie Weilou dies, you will be the Heir of Marquis Zhenxi Manor!"

Of course, his words were merely for comfort.

Xie Wuji's bone structure was mediocre, his temperament was mediocre, and he was also a good-for-nothing.

However, as long as he was willing to work hard, he could still improve his cultivation a little. As for whether his severed arm could regenerate, that would depend on his fortune.

There were many natural treasures in the world, some of which could allow people to regrow severed limbs, but Xie Cangxuan could not obtain such treasures.

"Heir..."

Xie Wuji's heart stirred, and he said earnestly, "Father, don't worry, I definitely won't give up on myself."

"Mm! That's more like it."

Xie Cangxuan smiled and nodded, but a hint of contemplation appeared in the depths of his eyes.

It seemed he had to take a concubine. Putting all his hopes on Xie Wuji was still a bit risky!

------

An hour later.

Fifty li from Qiyin City, in a plain, numerous tents were set up, housing an army of three thousand soldiers.

The Snow Treading Spirit Horse landed.

"Xie Weilou, get down!"

Lin Qinghuang glanced at her waist and immediately spoke. Xie Weilou's hand was still tightly wrapped around her, his face pressed against her back.

This close contact was warm for both of them, but she felt very uncomfortable.

All the wind and snow along the way had been blocked by her, while Xie Weilou lay comfortably, which annoyed her even more.

"......"

Xie Weilou seemed not to have heard her.

Lin Qinghuang immediately reached out and pulled Xie Weilou's hand away.

Bang!

Xie Weilou fell off the horse, his eyes tightly closed, not waking up.

Lin Qinghuang dismounted. She looked at Xie Weilou, stunned for a second, then immediately bent down and reached for Xie Weilou's nose, but found no sign of breathing.

"Hm? Xie Weilou..."

Lin Qinghuang felt something was wrong and immediately spoke, shaking Xie Weilou's body.

Xie Weilou instantly opened his eyes. He looked at Lin Qinghuang's delicate face and said wearily, "Lin Qinghuang... I'm not awake yet, quickly give me mouth-to-mouth resuscitation..."

"You... go to hell!"

Qinghuang angrily let go and kicked Xie Weilou on the shoulder.

Xie Weilou chuckled and immediately got up, no longer showing any signs of fatigue. He had slept very soundly all the way.

"Who are you?"

Just then, a group of soldiers walked over and directly surrounded Xie Weilou and Lin Qinghuang.

Lin Qinghuang took out a token and said calmly, "I am Deputy Commander Lin Qinghuang of Tianquan Division. I wish to see General Chiyu!"

"Someone from Tianquan Division..."

One of the soldiers looked at Lin Qinghuang's token. He immediately extended his hand, and the other soldiers immediately put away their weapons.

The soldier said in a deep voice, "Please wait a moment, both of you. I will go and report!"

After speaking, he quickly left.

Xie Weilou looked at Lin Qinghuang and said with a smile, "Good idea."

He had already guessed Lin Qinghuang's purpose for coming here.

This woman probably felt that there was a problem with Qiyin City. If the City Lord of Qiyin City caused trouble, and he controlled the army of Qiyin City, things would naturally be a bit troublesome.

So, her coming to this military camp was to borrow troops.

Xie Weilou looked around and saw a flag: Chifeng Army!

He had some impression of the Chifeng Army. This army had cooperated with the Zhenxi Army before, and their strength was formidable. They had once jointly attacked West Chu.

However, some problems arose later, and the Chifeng Army and the Zhenxi Army had some conflicts.

Not long after.

A young man in blue armor with a feminine face walked over.

When he saw Lin Qinghuang, a glimmer of light appeared in his eyes, and he said with a smile, "Lin Qinghuang, long time no see!"

Lin Qinghuang nodded lightly: "It's been three years!"

This person was Chi Han, Chiyu's son, and the young general of the Chifeng Army.

The Lin family had some connections with Chiyu. Lin Qinghuang's father and Chiyu were good brothers.

Chi Han's face was full of smiles, and his gaze fell on Xie Weilou, a hint of dark light appearing in the depths of his eyes.

He then looked at Lin Qinghuang and said with a smile, "Lin Qinghuang, my father hasn't returned yet. Is there anything you can tell me?"

Qinghuang didn't waste words and said directly, "I need to go to Qiyin City, but there's some trouble, and I want to borrow the Chifeng Army."

Chi Han heard this and nodded with a smile, "Since Qinghuang has spoken, my father will definitely not refuse. You two can rest in the tent with me first. My father will be back in half an hour at most."

"Mm!"

Lin Qinghuang nodded lightly.

Inside the tent.

Fine wine and delicious food had already been prepared.

Lin Qinghuang and Xie Weilou glanced at them, showing no unusual expressions, and then sat down.

"Qinghuang, we haven't seen each other for many years. I'll toast you."

Chi Han raised his wine cup to Lin Qinghuang.

Lin Qinghuang poured a cup of wine and drank it in one gulp.

"How generous!"

Chi Han laughed loudly and drank the wine in one gulp.

He then looked at Xie Weilou and poured a cup of wine: "Young Lord Xie's great name has long been heard. I'll also toast you."

"You're too kind."

Xie Weilou smiled, picked up the wine cup, and drank it in one gulp.

Seeing this, Chi Han's smile grew wider. He looked at Xie Weilou and Lin Qinghuang and said, "Keep drinking."

Xie Weilou picked up the wine pot and poured a cup for Lin Qinghuang and himself.

After three cups.

The wine cup in Xie Weilou's hand fell to the ground. He gently rubbed his temples: "Such strong wine..."

After speaking, he slumped onto the table.

Lin Qinghuang looked at the wine cup in her hand, frowned, rubbed her forehead, and then looked at Chi Han: "This wine has a problem!"

"I put something in the wine."

Chi Han was all smiles as he continued to drink.

A middle-aged man in black armor with a sword at his waist walked in with more than a dozen soldiers.

He looked at Lin Qinghuang and Xie Weilou with a calm expression: "Spirit Dissipating Powder. It can make your spiritual power dissipate for a short period."

Boom!

At the same time, numerous soldiers surrounded the outside of the tent...
