night.

The northeastern border of Qin State, Weiyuan Fort.

This is a castle at the junction of Qin and Wei Hexi County. It is not big, but very strong. This time, Qin invaded Hexi. Weiyuan Fortress was not only a bridgehead, but also an important logistics supply hub, which is extremely important.

After the Qin army was defeated by Pangcheng, the remaining troops ran dozens of miles overnight and fled back here.

At this time, although it was already night, the government offices in the center of Weiyuan Fort were brightly lit. Ying Qian, Ying Quliang, Shu Changguo and other Qin generals who escaped by chance gathered in uneasy in front of a large house, all of whom were worried and frightened.

The reason is very simple - Qin Gongying Lian, his injury is critical!

Pang Juan's arrow was already very injured, but because he was eager to escape, he ran all night without hesitation.

So, as soon as he arrived at Weiyuan Fort, Ying Lian fell down.

Now, Ying Qian, Ying Quliang and the generals were extremely anxious. The Qin army had already suffered a crushing defeat. If Lian Ying and the head of the family had a few shortcomings, then Qin would really fall.

Seeing the military doctor entering for a long time but not leaving for a long time, the generals couldn't help but worry and had a very bad premonition.

"Why, why haven't you come out yet? Brother, father, my father won't have any trouble, right?" Ying Quliang was younger after all, and felt very good with his father. He felt anxious and in a mess, and she burst into tears.

Ying Qian was older and could still calm down. He hugged Ying Quliang and comforted him: "Second brother, don't worry, my father is lucky and will definitely be fine."

"Yeah." Ying Quliang wiped his tears.

"Zhike--" At this moment, the door opened and a medical officer hurried in, looking depressed.

"Mr. Lin, how is my father?"

"Yes, how is Mr. Qin?"

...

The generals rushed forward and surrounded the medical officer. It was a talkative conversation.

The medical officer looked gloomy and shook his head speechless.

The generals' hearts sank and they were suddenly silent - Is it possible that Duke Qin has already, no, it is impossible!

"Mr. Lin," Ying Qian grabbed the medical officer's shoulders, with a ferocious expression and said sternly: "What's going on with my father? You're talking."

"Grand Master," the medical officer also shed tears, with a look of pain and helplessness: "The arrow in Qin Gong's body was successfully removed. Although the injury was serious, there was no worry about life. However, the Wei people viciously applied poison and cattle and horse urine on the arrow. Qin Gong ran for another night, and the toxicity had already penetrated into the internal organs. Now, the high fever does not subside and the dizziness is unconscious. The medicine stone is ineffective and it is difficult to turn the world back!"

"What!?"

At this moment, Ying Qian and others were like five thunders slamming into the top of the head, and they were about to faint.

"Mr. Lin," Shu Changguo was anxious and snatched the medical officer and begged: "The situation is critical now. Qin cannot be without Duke Qin. Please think of a solution. I, Shu Changguo, kneel down for you."

"General Shu Chang should not do this." The medical officer supported Shu Changguo with shame and said, "As a Qin man, Lin is in trouble, why dare not do his best? But after all, we have tried our best, but we are helpless. Lin is incompetent!"

Speaking of this, the medical officer also burst into tears.

There was a silence around, and Ying Qian and other generals were all stunned. They all looked as if they were ashes, standing in despair.

Could it be that Qin State is over like this?

At this moment, an eunuch rushed out of the house and said happily, "Your Majesty, you are awake, and call the two young masters and generals into it."

Ying Qian was overjoyed when she heard this and said to the doctor: "Sir Lin, listen, my father is awake, go and see if there is any rescue?"

"Yes, Lord Lin, go and have a look." The generals seemed to grab a life-saving straw, and their already desperate eyes flashed with excitement and hopeful eyes.

The medical officer looked as if dead and said tremblingly: "Generals, lord, lord, lord is already looking back. Everyone, please go and see lord quickly. I'm afraid there is not much time left."

There was another silence around. This time, everyone was desperate to the abyss, and their hearts were really colder than ice.

"Father--" Suddenly, Ying Quliang rushed into the house crying. Ying Qian and others came to their senses and followed silently.

Indoor, Ying Lian was lying on the couch, with a sickly flushed face, but seemed to be in excellent spirits, as if nothing was wrong.

This situation is indeed similar to what everyone knows about the return.

"Father--"

"Qin Gong——"

...

The generals felt sad and sad, and they all fell to the ground and started to cry as if the sky was falling and the earth was sinking.

Ying Lian on the couch slowly looked at everyone, but no familiar figure was seen. He couldn't help but feel a sank in his heart and said tremblingly: "Zhang, where is the old general Zhang?"

Everyone was silent, everyone lowered their heads with sad expressions, and no one dared to speak.

"Hurry, say it quickly." Ying Lian was a little anxious and coughed suddenly: "Why, my words are useless?"

"Father," Ying Quliang choked and said, "According to the defeated soldiers, General Zhang was unfortunately killed by Wei general Li Yu when he broke through the siege, and died for his country."

"Ah!" Ying Lian shouted, and a mouthful of blood was squirting out.

Obviously, this news hit him very hard.

"Father!"

"Duke Qin!"

...

Ying Qian and others were suddenly in a panic, and the eunuchs approaching also hurriedly stepped forward and wiped the blood from the corner of Ying Lian's mouth.

"Don't be busy." Ying Lian waved his hand with difficulty and signaled the eunuch to retreat. Looking at his face, he was pale and as angry as a fucking spring. Obviously, the news of General Zhang's death became the last straw that broke the camel's back, draining Ying Lian's last trace of vitality.

He slowly glanced at his anxious son and everyone, Ying Lian sighed lightly and blamed him for not being sad: "This time he went on an expedition, I thought he could recover his hometown and revive Qin, but he did not want to be defeated by Pangcheng, which would damage his troops and generals, and greatly damage the vitality of Qin. These are all my faults. Now, Qin is in danger and has the worries of losing his country. If Qin dies because of this, even if I return to the nine springs, I will not face my ancestors."

"Don't blame yourself." Shu Changguo heard this and choked up and said: "I, Qin State, have been established for hundreds of years, and I have never encountered any kind of dangerous obstacles. As long as you are here, we old Qin people will definitely survive this difficulty."

"Haha, don't comfort me." Ying Lian smiled self-deprecatingly: "I understand that I can't stand this level. It doesn't matter if I die, but Qin will definitely not die!"

Speaking of this, Ying Lian looked at Ying Qian and Ying Qu Liang and said: "After my death, my legitimate son Qu Liang will succeed to the king, and Ying Qian will assist in the administration. You brothers and brothers must agree to be fathers and must work together to protect Qin and promote it."

"Father--" Ying Quliang couldn't help but burst into tears when he heard Ying Lian explaining his funeral.

Although Ying Qian was also very sad, he was older and calm. He choked up and said, "Don't worry, Father, Qian will definitely assist his second brother, protect Qin and promote Qin."

Ying Lian glanced at Shu Changguo and others again and said with difficulty: "And you promised me that I must do my best to assist the new emperor to overcome this difficulty."

"Yes, Duke Qin."

Shu Changguo and others also cried bitterly.

Ying Lian breathed a sigh of relief, as if he had put down the big rock in his heart, looked up at the sky, and muttered to himself: "I am ambitious, but I ended up like this. I am really unwilling to accept it--"

As the words fell, the eyes slowly closed until there was no sound.

The medical officer stepped forward and tried his breath with his hands, and immediately cried: "Everyone, Mr. Qin - I'm leaving!"

"Father--"

"Qin Gong——"

...
