"How far is it from Guangzhou, and when can we arrive at the fastest time?" Zhao Yan stood on the deck and walked around anxiously while asking the people on the ship. After a tense voyage, Zhao Yan's fleet went around Africa, passing through the Indian Ocean and the Southern Ocean, finally arrived at the mainland of the Song Dynasty, and in front of it was Guangzhou. Xu Yuan and Hu Yanping were all there. As long as you saw them, you should be able to know what happened to Zhao Xu there. thing. "Your Highness, we have arrived at the sea off Guangzhou, and we can reach Guangzhou Port in as little as an hour!" A naval general on the deck replied loudly. "Very good, tell the fleet to keep moving forward and try to reach Guangzhou as soon as possible!" Zhao Yan nodded when he heard this. In fact, he wanted to fly to Guangzhou right away, but he also knew that after such a long voyage, the officers and soldiers of the fleet would not be able to reach Guangzhou as soon as possible. He was already exhausted, so he couldn't bear to push him too much. An hour later, Guangzhou Port indeed appeared in front of the fleet. Because Zhao Yan and his ships were all warships, they did not have to line up at the port like civilian ships. Instead, they went directly to the military port next to them. Xu Yuan and Hu Yanping were in Guangzhou City. He had already received the news and was already waiting at the dock. When Zhao Yan's ship docked at the berth, he hurriedly got off the ship, then rushed to Xu Yuan and others and asked, "What's going on?" "What happened there, Your Majesty?" "In addition to Xu Yuan and Hu Yanping, there were also Zhao Yan's eldest brother-in-law Wang Shiyue, his eldest sister, the eldest princess of Chen State, and his second sister, eldest princess of Shu State. , it can be said that they are not outsiders, so Zhao Yan asked this question without any scruples. However, after hearing this, Xu Yuan and others looked at each other, but no one spoke. Even the two eldest princesses secretly wiped away tears. This also made Zhao Yan feel even more uncomfortable. "Third brother, this matter is complicated. Let's go back and have a rest first. Then we will discuss this matter in detail!" In the end, Wang Shiyue was the first to speak. They are all the top nobles of the Song Dynasty. Not only do they have noble status, but they also hold great power, so it didn't take long after Zhao Xu's accident. They already knew what happened, but they also knew that Zhao Yan and Zhao Xu were almost like father and son, so naturally they did not dare to tell him easily. "No, this matter has been torturing me all the way in my mind, so I must know now!" Zhao Yan said very stubbornly at this time. Because he already had a very ominous premonition in his heart, he was eager to know the truth of the matter, especially Zhao Xu's current situation. Seeing Zhao Yan being so stubborn, Wang Shiyue, Xu Yuan, and Hu Yanping looked at each other. Finally, Xu Yuan stood up and said: "Third brother, the reason why His Majesty did not tell you this matter is mainly because he was afraid. You're worried, but you're back now, so it's okay to tell you that when His Majesty was enshrining Zen in Mount Tai some time ago, someone took the opportunity to cause trouble, and His Majesty was seriously injured" "What!" Before Xu Yuan could finish his words, Zhao Yan was already shocked and took a few steps back. Although Zhao Xu was not his son, he had grown up with him since he was a child. Zhao Yan paid more attention to him than his own son. It can be said that the relationship between the two In fact, they are no different from father and son. Now that he suddenly heard the news that Zhao Xu was seriously injured, one can imagine the blow to Zhao Yan. Hu Yanping and Xu Yuan hurriedly rushed forward to support Zhao Yan, and then Xu Yuan hurriedly spoke to persuade: "Third brother. Although His Majesty's injuries are serious, he is at least very conscious. He was afraid that you would worry, so he did not dare to tell you. You are telling the truth. Moreover, he sent people to Nanyang to wait for Jia'er. Just a month ago, Jia'er happened to return to Nanyang, so he rushed to Dengzhou to see His Majesty. With Jia'er's help, the government has now stabilized. "So don't worry too much!" "Xu'er How is Xu'er's health now?" Although Xu Yuan told Zhao Yan not to worry, he did not say anything about Zhao Xu's physical condition. Yan Ziran noticed it very keenly, so he grabbed his hand again and asked. "Um" When Zhao Yan asked about Zhao Xu's physical condition again, Xu Yuan and others looked at each other in confusion. They didn't know how to answer for a moment. They couldn't say that Zhao Xu was in danger now, so they didn't know what Zhao Yan could do. Can't accept it? From the expressions of Xu Yuan and the others, Zhao Yan could guess something. At that moment, his vision went dark and he almost fell down on the pier. Fortunately, Xu Yuan and Hu Yanping supported him, and he finally managed to stand firm, but then he He loudly said to Xu Yuan: "Hurry! Help me prepare the fastest steamship. I will rush to Dengzhou to see Xu'er immediately!" Seeing Zhao Yan's appearance, Xu Yuan and others also sighed again, and they also Knowing that Zhao Yan couldn't be persuaded at this time, he could only ask people to prepare ships. Fortunately, this was a military port, and Xu Yuan was in charge of the navy here, so he quickly prepared several fastest ships. Zhao Yan, who had just landed, Yan boarded the ship again and sailed quickly to Dengzhou. However, the two eldest princesses did not trust him, so Xu Yuan and Wang Shiyue also accompanied Zhao Yan on board.However, Hu Yanping stayed. After all, if they all left, there would be no one to deal with the defense in Guangzhou. In addition, Zhao Yan originally hoped that Cao Ying and the others would stay in Guangzhou, and his two sisters would take care of them. However, Cao Ying and others were worried that Zhao Yan would be too sad, so they finally insisted on going to Dengzhou with him. Zhao Yan's family all changed ships, leaving only the tired navy who came from Europe to rest in Guangzhou Port. "Husband, you should eat and sleep, otherwise your body will not be able to bear it!" A few days later, Cao Ying said to Zhao Yan with a concerned look on the boat. Since leaving Guangzhou, Zhao Yan had barely slept a wink. Shi Geng took a few bites and then put down the bowl and chopsticks. After a few days of this, she suddenly lost weight, so today she specially made some side dishes that Zhao Yan liked, hoping that he could eat more. "Oh! I can't eat it! Why do you think these two bastards Zhao Yan and Zhao Jun rebelled? They are both my students. Speaking of which, as a teacher, I have not fulfilled my responsibility. Moreover, I don't know whether Xu'er is alive or dead. If there really is an emergency, how can I be worthy of my dead brother?" Zhao Yan first shook his head and refused, and then said a series of words very self-blaming. "How can you blame your husband for this? A saint cannot guarantee that all his students will succeed. What's more, my husband has many more students than a saint. Moreover, it has been several months since His Majesty was poisoned. Your Majesty is still alive. This shows that the poison can be controlled. , maybe my husband will be able to see a healthy majesty when he arrives in Dengzhou," Cao Ying said with relief at this time. "Oh, I hope so!" Zhao Yan sighed again, looking towards the distant north, praying secretly in his heart, hoping that Zhao Xu could survive this disaster safely.
