Chapter 684 Meeting Ding Qi
After applying the medicine, Chu Xiaomu felt that even his body seemed to be a lot lighter, and he immediately went to Ding Qi's tent with Aqi.
On the way, they talked about the spiritual doctor named Huai who delivered medicine to Ah Qi. Ah Qi said he was from Huai Mountain in the northeast of Yutuo City, and suddenly said, "Xiao Mu, I remember you said that the spiritual doctor who taught you spiritual arts was also named Huai."
Chu Xiaomu said: "Yes, he is Xiao Meng's uncle."
Aqi said: "There are not many people with the surname Huai in Cangmu Country. Maybe the Huai people on your Baihua Island and Huaishan are from the same family."
Chu Xiaomu nodded, thinking that the general had told him that the people who escorted the Flower Fairy Sister to Baihua Island were four people, four generals and eight surnames. The Huai and Bai surnames were people around Cangmu. And who is this Lord God Cangmu?
Soon, Aqi brought Xiaomu to the military tent where Dingqi lived. Xiaoying felt bored and didn't want to go in, saying that she wanted to walk around the military camp.
Chu Xiaomu didn't force her. Aqi took off a military badge from his body, saying that the soldiers wouldn't ask her questions with it. Xiaoying happily took it.
The two walked into the military tent and saw Ding Qi lying on a simple wooden bed, his eyes closed, breathing slowly and gently. Chu Xiaomu felt uncomfortable when he saw Ding Zhongjun, who was originally a little fat, become skinny and looked dozens of years older after not seeing him for a year.
Ah Qi walked over gently, moved a low stool and sat next to Ding Qi, calling softly: "Zhongjun, Zhongjun..."
Ding Qi opened his eyes slightly and said in a slightly hoarse voice: "Is it Aqi..."
Aqi said, "It's me, Aqi. Zhongjun, look who I brought here." Then he asked Chu Xiaomu to come closer.
Ding Qi turned his head with some difficulty and stared at Chu Xiaomu for a while, but he couldn't remember who the person in front of him was.
Chu Xiaomu said: "General Ding, I am Chu Xiaomu. We have met in the general's tent and in Dongxi Village."
Ding Qi then recalled and asked, "You...you are the commander of the Nanding Army? How...how did you get here?"
Chu Xiaomu thought that he probably didn't know that the general had disbanded the Nanding Army, so he said, "General Ding, the Nanding Army no longer exists, and I am no longer a general."
Ding Qi was shocked and asked, "Why... is it useless?"
Chu Xiaomu didn't know the details about Bi Ye's disbanding of the Nanding Army, so he could only give a brief account of it.
After hearing this, Ding Qi sighed deeply and said sadly, "My third brother's life's work is gone just like that..." Tears rolled out of his eyes.
Chu Xiaomu said: "But this can't be blamed on the general, because... because he is also sick..."
Ding Qi was shocked when he heard this and asked, "The general is also sick? How...how is this possible? He is a spirit that can live forever!"
Aqi moved another stool over and asked Chu Xiaomu to sit on it.
Chu Xiaomu then told the story of how General Bi Ye lived in seclusion after Zhou Bo was killed, and how when he came back from Beast Mountain to visit him, he happened to encounter Xiao Zhenrong stealing his sword. Then the general was ambushed by Yan Zhua and the two clans of the Ya tribe, and a fierce battle ensued. When the situation was at a stalemate, he was ambushed by a masked man with a golden knife and a black sword, and the general had no choice but to act crazy.
Finally, he said, "The general has been recovering from his injuries since he went berserk. A few days later, I went to Jinyang City to collect food and grass for the Bicheng Army. Later, when I met Li Zhongjun, I learned that the general's temperament had changed drastically. Not only did he punish many soldiers and battalion officers who had friendships with Xiao Zhenrong, but he also disbanded the Nanding Army. Even I was... suspected by him."
Ding Qi took a few quick breaths and said, "So, many of the decisions made by Bicheng later were made after the general went berserk?"
Chu Xiaomu nodded and said, "When the general went berserk, he didn't recognize anyone and killed everyone he saw. I guess he hasn't fully recovered from his berserk state yet, so he can be said to be sick. Many of the decisions he made were probably not his original intentions."
Ding Qi finally breathed a sigh of relief and said excitedly: "So that's how it is, so that's how it is... Not long ago, I received a letter from the general, saying that I 'abandoned the city and rebelled against my master, and was treacherous'. I was so anxious that I fell ill and was bedridden. I didn't know there were so many twists and turns in the story..."
Seeing that it was just as he expected, when Ding Qi learned that Bi Ye had done all kinds of wrong things because of his madness and loss of intelligence, his expression was obviously much more relaxed. He couldn't help but be overjoyed and said, "General, the general is the king of spirits and a hero among men. When he recovers, he will definitely understand our helplessness and difficulties in retreating to Yashan. Don't let your imagination run wild..."
Ding Qi suddenly sat up from the bed and said, "Aqi, you are right. I have been loyal to Bicheng and the general all my life, so I have been upset about many things these days. I thought I had been abandoned by the general. I didn't expect that we had wronged him."
He then said bitterly, "Xiao Zhenrong is very attentive to everyone. I felt he was a bit pretentious from the beginning, but I didn't expect he was from the Golden Sword Sect. Next time I see him, I will not let him off!"
Chu Xiaomu said: "Ding Zhongjun doesn't need to worry about this matter anymore, Xiao Zhenrong is already dead."
Ding Qi was overjoyed and suddenly said, "Have you two eaten yet? Well, whether you have eaten or not, stay and have a drink with me!"
Chu Xiaomu and Yu Aqi smiled at each other. It turned out that the good news was indeed a good medicine to cure the disease.
