The imperial physician hastily said, "This official will take a look at you." After massaging his ankle for a long time, he said, "Lord Baylor's injury is too serious. I'm afraid you won't be able to see anything from the outside. This official will ask you to use a knife to cut open the flesh and reconnect the bone from the inside. There may be some pain during this process. Lord Baylor, please bear with it. We just ran out of ether. "
The Xuan Shuang coldly humphed and said, "Looks like I got injured at the wrong time! Forget it, I'm not afraid of pain. Hurry up and move! I'll let you do whatever you want, as long as you don't let me rot in bed for the rest of my life! "
The imperial physician complied, "Yes, yes." He took two clamps and fixed the Xuan Shuang's ankle in place. The Xuan Shuang laughed and said, "I've just suffered under the animal trap, and now you're trying to trap me …" He was about to continue talking nonsense when Li Yijie interrupted, "Xuan Shuang, be strong and bear with it. We'll come back to see you later. " The Xuan Shuang hastily said, "Don't go, Master Li. Can you and Master Tang stay here and accompany me?"
Li Yijie still wanted to keep a straight face and lecture him, but Tang Yuancheng laughed and said, "After all, he hasn't suffered this kind of pain before. We'll accompany him and ease his fear. But Xuan Shuang, aren't you afraid we'll see you crying? "The Xuan Shuang laughed embarrassedly and said," In front of you, I'll definitely not cry. Hei hei, to tell you the truth, if I'm the only one left, I'm afraid the pain will be too much and I'll really cry. That would be a great loss of face. "
By this time, the imperial physician had already applied some ointment on his ankle and took out a knife and placed it on his skin. Tang Yuancheng and Li Yijie sat down on the bed and said, "Xuan Shuang, tell Master, what story do you want to hear?"
The Xuan Shuang shook his head and said, "I don't want to hear a story. Master, please accompany me in our discussion. What good plan do you have? Killing the Seven Malevolent Demons is the most important thing. " Li Yijie said, "Jiang Jiao has wreaked havoc in the wulin world and has committed all sorts of crimes. As the Alliance Head, I will not tolerate him. This is my responsibility, you don't have to worry about it. "
Xuan Shuang said, "But have you made any achievements? If my information is correct, that devil was already a wanted criminal of the imperial court six years ago, right? At that time, I hadn't even been born yet. Could it be that the constables of the imperial court were all useless? If you can't do it, then leave it to me. No matter how difficult it is, no matter what price I have to pay, I will kill him. Even if Xiao Xuan blames me and hates me, it doesn't matter. If you want to achieve great things, you have to give up something. I still have this awareness. "
Li Yijie said, "Nonsense! You're just a child, what great things can you achieve? What you should be doing now is to study hard and practice martial arts. In the future, you can put what you have learned to good use and serve the country … "Tang Yuancheng interrupted," Can you allow me to ask one more question? Why are you so determined to kill him? Is it because of Little Xuan that you see him as a rival in love, or is it because of the people of the world? "
Xuan Shuang snorted and said, "Love rival? He's not worthy. Besides, I'm not that despicable. I will only compete with my love rival fair and square. I won't scheme to take his life behind his back. As for Xiao Xuan … that's probably only one aspect. That bastard has never taken her seriously and only knows how to make her cry. But why does Xiao Xuan still like him? When I think about how she has no self-respect, at first I sympathize with her and pity her. Now I only feel that I look down on her. " He glared at Li Yijie and said, "I'm also not as hypocritical as you people from the prestigious and upright sects. Obviously I have a personal grudge against him, but not only I refuse to admit it, I even want to put on a big hat of 'benefiting the people of the world'. I'm a lot more practical. He dared to offend me, so I hate him. I want him dead. Who told him to beat me up like this? Humph, not only that, he also killed my maternal grandfather's entire family. This grudge, this enmity, is absolutely irreconcilable! "
Li Yijie said, "You won't be able to kill him. This devil's conduct is extremely low, but when it comes to martial arts, there's nothing to say. Last time, all the major sects of the Wulin world sent out their elites to besiege the Devil Cult's headquarters. Although he was hit several times by our sword, in the end … he still managed to slip away. "
Xuan Shuang waved her hand and said, "Don't brag about this failure in front of me. Don't brag about it. You can't kill him because you're too stupid! I don't believe he has an immortal body. A devil that no one can deal with should be left to this young master to deal with. I must kill him with my own hands. If I say I can do it, then I definitely can! Speaking of which, it's not bad that I've earned a reputation for eliminating evil for the people. The most important thing is that I've set up this great merit that's hard to come by in a thousand years, so Emperor Ah Ma has no choice but to make me the Crown Prince. "
Tang Yuancheng saw Li Yijie had the intention to refute him again. He was worried that they would talk too much, so he said first, "Everyone has kindness in their heart, no matter how deeply they hide it, or how temporarily they suppress their evil thoughts. At first, it might be because they lack self-confidence, their desire to be accepted could not be satisfied, so they gradually spread and became distorted. They wanted others to respect them, to become the world's supreme ruler … "Xuan Shuang snorted coldly and said," How can it be so complicated? He's simply a madman! "
Tang Yuancheng continued, "What I mean is, maybe that person didn't commit such a heinous crime. It's just that no one really cared about him, stood in his position, and thought for him. If he was given a chance, he would definitely have the intention to do good. Why don't I talk to him first and try to persuade him to return to the right path? "
Xuan Shuang said, "That's impossible. That devil is bent on becoming a devil, his heart is rotten to the core. How can he possibly have kindness in his heart? "
Tang Yuancheng advised, "Making someone sincerely do good is far more effective than just killing him. No matter what, the dead are already gone, so those who are still alive should live in harmony. Isn't the purpose of our hard work to give the people of the world a pure land? Jiang Shengjun has gone astray, but his martial arts talent is unparalleled in the present age. If he can turn over a new leaf and become on the same side as us … "
Xuan Shuang's ankle was cut so deep that his bone could be seen. Waves of sharp pain assaulted him, and his heart was stirred up even more. He endured it and said, "It's easy to change mountains and rivers, but it's hard to change one's nature! Master Tang, it's true that you're a good person, and in your eyes, the world is also a good person. But have you ever thought that Jiang Shengchen's conscience has long been eaten by dogs? Otherwise, why would he be called the 'Seven Evils Devil'? Let's not talk about how he treats outsiders, but even his own biological parents, the Hierarch who raised him, the woman he loved, the brothers he cherished, and the subordinates who served him from the beginning to the end, were all so heartless. He caused their deaths. Do you still expect him to repent? The human heart is as deep as the sea, especially that devil's thoughts, they can no longer be measured by common sense. His ambition will only grow with each passing day. Who knows what kind of scourge he'll do to the people in the future? Not everyone in the world can be enlightened. Otherwise, why would there be a need to sentence someone to death? "
Tang Yuancheng said, "Perhaps your way of thinking is too narrow. There's a saying, 'Lay down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the spot.' If the truth of Buddhism is completely useless, and the idea of retribution in the next life is also not credible, then why do so many people still persist in praying to Buddhism and cultivating the Dao? "
Xuan Shuang felt another wave of pain in his foot. He gritted his teeth and said, "Even if he's willing to lay down the butcher's knife, it'll only work if he's willing to do so! If you force him to do so now, who knows when he'll pick it up again when you're not paying attention? At that time, he'll be even more powerful and even harder to deal with. If revenge breeds revenge, it'll stop here. That's why no one will risk their lives to avenge him! Using killing to stop killing is the only way out. "
Li Yijie mused, "I also agree with Xuan Shuang's words. Jiang Shengchen's hands are too bloody, but he's never shown the slightest bit of remorse. His mind is filled with thoughts of becoming a devil and harming the world. He'll take even more innocent lives to make up for the injustice he's suffered. Being merciful to him is being cruel to the people of the world. No matter what, this devil must be eliminated. "
Tang Yuancheng smiled wryly and said, "Even if there's a ten percent chance, we should still put in a hundred percent effort. Perhaps I came from a scholarly background and don't understand the gratitude and grudges between military leaders, but I still feel that if we can avoid killing, it's best not to. "
The imperial physician had already cut open Xuan Shuang's ankle thoroughly. He gathered the broken bones together and smeared a layer of black ointment on them, rubbed it evenly, and then put it back together. This process was extremely painful. Xuan Shuang still wanted to say something to persuade Tang Yuancheng, but the pain had already caused his lips to stiffen. The imperial physician grabbed his ankle and twisted it in both directions. Xuan Shuang's eyes rolled back into his head, and he lay down with his eyes wide open. He fainted again.
Xuan Shuang fainted for more than ten days. After receiving the money, the group of imperial physicians pretended to be deaf and mute for the first several days. But seeing Xuan Shuang lying on the bed every day, always sick and without any vitality, they were afraid that one day he would die in their own Imperial Medical Hall, and then it would not be easy for them to clean up the mess. They were also afraid that the people in the Palace would gossip and inadvertently hear about it. One person would spread to ten, ten would spread to a hundred. When the Emperor heard about the Lord Baylor's injury, he would be charged with the felony of deceiving the Emperor.
After some discussion, they finally decided to go to the Palace of Heavenly Purity to report to the Palace of Heavenly Purity after the morning court. When Shunzhi heard about this matter, he was anxious and worried about his beloved son's injury. He scolded the several imperial physicians to their faces. That very day he put down his official business and took Shen Shiyun with him to visit the Palace of Heavenly Purity.
It just so happened that Xuan Shuang woke up in a daze. He raised his head to look at the unfamiliar ceiling above him. He was confused for half a day before he remembered that his ankle was broken and was sent to the Imperial Medical Hall for treatment. When the bone was set, the pain was so severe that he could not stand it and fainted. So now he was still in the Imperial Medical Hall.
He raised his hand and flexed it several times in front of his eyes, until his vision was completely clear. He saw that his leg was wrapped in a thick bandage from the knee down. He tried to lift his leg, but he could not feel anything. With great difficulty he raised his head and tried to turn his ankle.
The pain was so severe that it penetrated his bones, as if the bone was broken again. He grimaced in pain. He was just about to cry out when he heard footsteps coming from the door. Xuan Shuang immediately closed his eyes and quietly pretended to be asleep. Under the quilt, his hands quietly clenched into fists. He did not know why he wanted to avoid the outsider, but his action was almost entirely instinctive.
After a while, the sound of chaotic footsteps arrived at the head of the bed. Xuan Shuang did not dare to open his eyes. He only listened to the sound of the footsteps. Not only the Emperor Ama and his mother, even the imperial physician and Xiao Xuan from last time also came. Suddenly his heart was somewhat nervous. He said inwardly, "Misfortune may be a blessing in disguise, who knows? This is a great opportunity! I want to hear how the Emperor Ama will talk about me. Ay, I wonder if he will praise me for my filial piety, or despise me for being weak and incompetent? "
Shunzhi walked toward the bed and silently looked at Xuan Shuang for a while. Then he gently wiped the sweat from his forehead. His movement was extremely gentle, just like a loving father comforting his beloved son. Xuan Shuang's heart was warm, but then he felt sour. He thought, "I don't know how long it has been since the Emperor Ama came to see me. In the past, I was his most beloved son. But now things are different. I have to be seriously injured and dying before I have the chance to see him. "
Shunzhi then asked the imperial physician, "How is Xuan Shuang's condition now?" The imperial physician stepped forward and pressed his hand on his wound. Xuan Shuang was in so much pain that his countenance changed. He clenched his teeth and endured the pain, biting his lip until it broke. The imperial physician said, "Reporting to Your Majesty, Lord Baylor has been unconscious for several days and has not woken up yet. But thanks to Your Majesty's flood of good fortune, his condition is getting better day by day. This leg will definitely be saved. "
