Gallop!
At this moment, the sound of galloping hooves could be heard in the distance. In the distance, one could see large banners fluttering in the air, and beneath these banners were countless soldiers of the City Guard.
"The laws of the Imperial Court forbid gathering here. The City Guard is here! Everyone, disperse!"
A thunderous voice echoed through the air.
"Someone, pass on my order! If anyone else dares to gather here in fifteen minutes and disturb the order of the capital, they are to be captured and handed over to the Capital Governor to be dealt with!"
"Boom!"
The banners of the City Guard and that voice caused the surroundings to fall silent for a few moments, and then everyone began to scatter.
The City Guard was the force that governed the capital and had the right to maintain order in the capital. The crowd was quickly dispersed by the soldiers of the City Guard.
"Chong-er, I'm late!"
Warhorse hooves clattered against the ground. A City Guard Division officer quickly charged over, stopping in front of the Wang Family Manor's gates, dismounting. The general took off his helmet, revealing an uneasy and concerned face. It was none other than Wang Chong's uncle, Li Lin. Li Lin had an apologetic look on his face as he looked at Wang Chong.
"There was an accident. Someone from the Imperial Court specifically transferred away the soldiers of the City Guard. I also received an order at the last minute and went back to report. I didn't think that this would happen so soon after I left! "
Li Lin was in charge of the soldiers of the City Guard stationed at the gate of the Wang Family Residence, and there had never been an accident. For so many people to appear at once, it was clear that someone was trying to guide them from behind the scenes. But Li Lin was in no mood to investigate this. He was more worried about Wang Chong's current condition.
His face was pale and he seemed to be in a daze. There was something very wrong with him.
"Hurry and help him in!"
With no time to think, Li Lin led Xu Keyi, Su Shixuan, Xue Qianjun, and Zhang Que over the threshold and into the Wang Family Residence with Wang Chong.
Bang!
Not long after crossing the threshold, a figure suddenly dropped to the ground like a wooden pillar.
"Milord!"
"Chong-er!"
Seeing this scene, everyone turned pale with fright. On the ground, Wang Chong's face was pale. His teeth were clenched, and his fists were clenched. He lay motionless on the ground. He had already stopped breathing.
"Quick!"
"Call the doctor!"
Li Lin roared, his face full of fear. He picked up Wang Chong from the ground and quickly rushed into the room.
…
"Hahaha! Wang Chong, how does it feel to be the enemy of the world? "
A burst of laughter rang out in the darkness. On a majestic mountain peak, surrounded by countless corpses and tens of thousands of streams of blood, a bolt of lightning pierced through the sky. In the lightning, Wang Chong clearly saw a slightly fat figure holding a dark red spear, wearing a black and red battle armor, standing on the mountain peak and baring his teeth at him.
"You want to save the world and be a hero? Would the world be willing to let you save them? Even if you go all out, won't the Nine Continents still fall into my hands? "
"Wang Chong, you lost!"
An Yaluoshan's sinister laughter resounded through the world.
Wang Chong's blood surged to his head and his eyes went red. Without the slightest hesitation, he clenched his fists and charged at that plump figure on the mountain.
"I still haven't lost! An Yaluoshan, hand over your life! "
But before Wang Chong could charge over, rumble! The sky darkened, and that majestic mountain and the sea of corpses and blood around it vanished, leaving behind only darkness and nothingness.
"Kiiiill! — "
All of a sudden, a series of battle cries shook the heavens and the earth. The clip-clop of the horses' hooves was as loud as thunder. The sound was almost undetectable at first, but in a few short moments, the earth quaked and the sky shook. Countless warriors clad in golden armor roared and howled as they raised their sabers and swords, tens of thousands of them brushing past Wang Chong and charging forward.
"Follow Milord for eternity!"
"For the Tang Dynasty!"
"Kiiiill! — "
The sounds of fighting thundered like thunder, causing one's blood to boil. Countless soldiers covered the mountains and plains.
In a daze, Wang Chong had returned to the time when he was leading an army through the nine provinces against the otherworldly invaders.
"Kiiiill!"
Wang Chong felt his blood boil. Clang! He unsheathed his sword, but before Wang Chong could step forward, a blood-stained hand reached out of the ground and grabbed Wang Chong's right foot.
"Milord! No one understands us. Everyone has given up. Is there really any meaning in our persistence? "
Wang Chong lowered his head and realized that the ground was covered in corpses, all of them soldiers who had fought with him. Beneath his feet was a general who had followed him to battle. He was covered in blood and his armor was in tatters. He was looking up at him, his face pale and his tired eyes filled with deep despair.
"Milord, is there any meaning in our persistence?"
"No one understands us. No one understands us …"
In that instant, countless voices echoed in all directions. Wang Chong looked at the despairing faces at his feet, stunned and motionless. In that instant, the world spun. Wang Chong stood there in a daze, his body drenched in cold sweat.
"Are you the source of chaos in the world?"
A voice rang in his ears, and then it became thousands of voices.
Rumble!
All of a sudden, the ground collapsed, and endless waves surged. In that instant, Wang Chong felt as if he had become a piece of wood, falling into the boundless sea. The seawater pressed against him from all directions. It was cold, heavy, and suffocating. In the darkness, a wave suddenly came, followed by a second, a third … Heavy waves rose and fell, throwing Wang Chong into the depths of the sea again and again.
Darkness, coldness, despair … All kinds of feelings came one after another. In that instant, Wang Chong felt an unprecedented loneliness.
"Doctor, what's wrong with our milord?"
In the darkness, Wang Chong could faintly hear a worried voice, and then he heard another sigh.
"Haaa! His Highness's internal fire is burning, and his mind is stifled and depressed! "
"And if I'm not wrong, His Highness has experienced similar situations before. His blood energy is in disorder. Not good! "
… …
Boom!
In the blink of an eye, there was another boom, and everything before him vanished.
The scene before Wang Chong's eyes was constantly changing. One moment, he was surrounded by an overwhelming fire, the next moment, he was surrounded by an incomparably cruel ice. Wang Chong's mind was immersed in this boundless fire and water, constantly sinking.
King Qi, The King of Song, the First Prince, the Fifth Prince, Li Junxian … countless figures appeared before his eyes. Finally, Wang Chong fell unconscious.
At this moment, the Wang Family Residence was shrouded in a gloomy atmosphere.
In Wang Chong's room, The King of Song, Zhangchou Jianqiong, Wang Chong's big uncle Wang Gen, Elder Ye, Elder Zhao, and the others were all present. Next to the bed, Wang Chong's mother was silently wiping away her tears. Around the room, the maids silently wept as they gazed at the motionless figure of Wang Chong on the bed.
Seeing this scene, everyone's hearts were filled with sorrow. They had all hurried over upon receiving the news, and when they saw Wang Chong on the bed with his teeth tightly clenched, they all felt ashamed.
The Tang Dynasty was everyone's Tang Dynasty, not Wang Chong's alone. But on this matter, Wang Chong was unquestionably alone. He had strived and struggled, trying time and time again to reverse this inevitable defeat and change the hearts of the people of the world. And on this matter, he was a lonely fighter. Whether it was The King of Song, Zhangchou Jianqiong, or anyone else, none of them had been able to provide him with much help. In this matter, each of them had an unshakable responsibility.
"This child has been unconscious for several days. It seems that this matter has dealt a very heavy blow to him."
"This can't continue. We should do something. We can't place everything on this child's shoulders. Don't forget, he's only eighteen! "
"But there's nothing we can do right now. Master Zhu is the leader of all Confucians and wields the greatest authority in the world. Even Emperor Xian treats him with great respect, and the majority of the people now support the Confucians!"
… …
The mood was gloomy, and everyone stared at each other, unable to speak. In the current situation, it was difficult to turn back from the accumulated bad habits. Even if they did their best, they would not be able to change the hearts of the people of Si An. But what worried them the most was still Wang Chong's condition. Everyone looked at the young face on the bed, and there was a thick cloud of worry between their brows.
"Doctor, it's already been three days. Is there really no way to cure Chong-er's injuries?"
Wang Chong's big uncle, Wang Gen, suddenly asked as he looked at the imperial physician who was tidying up his medicine chest.
"Haaa, there's nothing that can be done. I don't know what technique His Highness cultivates, but there are at least several dozen kinds of energy in his body. Coupled with the depression in his heart, he fell into a coma. If His Highness wants to recover, he can only rely on himself. "
The imperial physician The King of Song had invited from the palace shook his head and sighed. Hearing this, the room fell silent, and the atmosphere suddenly became much heavier.
Tap!
At this moment, a white figure in the corner suddenly moved. Under everyone's gazes, Xu Yi-qin, tears still in her eyes, slowly walked to Wang Chong's bed.
"Lady Xu."
Upon seeing Xu Yi-qin, everyone's eyes were filled with sorrow. The relationship between Xu Yi-qin and Wang Chong was no longer a secret. Everyone knew that this young lady of the Xu Clan had developed feelings for Wang Chong. In this period of time, they had only come once, but Xu Yi-qin had come three times a day.
"Lady Xu, you must take care of your body. If Chong-er saw you like this, he would be very worried."
By the side, Wang Chong's big uncle, Wang Gen, consoled her. Ever since Wang Chong fell into a coma, this child had clearly become much thinner, and his entire body seemed to be lacking in energy.
But at this moment, Xu Yi-qin seemed to hear nothing. Her face was pale, and tears were streaming down her cheeks. This was already the second time she had seen Wang Chong fall into a coma. For the sake of the Tang Dynasty, Wang Chong had used all his strength. He was like a lonely warrior, constantly roaring at the heavens and fighting. At times, he made others think that he was a fool, but this was precisely what attracted her to him.
"Wang Chong."
Xu Yi-qin suddenly bent down and lightly kissed Wang Chong's forehead.
"I believe that you won't lose. No matter what, you must never admit defeat."
Seeing the unconscious Wang Chong, Xu Yi-qin revealed a forlorn smile.
"Buzz!"
Under everyone's gazes, Wang Chong's chaotic breathing seemed to hear Xu Yi-qin's words, and his breathing suddenly steadied.
Everyone was dumbfounded by this sight.
