When he returned to Baofan City, Jiang Chiqiu's health was not yet healed, so this time he did not ride a horse back, but returned to the capital by carriage.

At this time, the carriage had already reached outside Baofan City, and the loading progress of the Death Escape System had reached 90%.

Jiang Chiqiu, leaning against the carriage, couldn't help but reach out to touch the jade pendant hanging between his neck. He wanted to wait until he returned to the palace to report his work, and he would go to Zhufeng Temple to see Mingzhou as soon as possible...

But just as Jiang Chiqiu thought of this, his deputy general suddenly reported to the side of the carriage. The emperor heard that Jiang Chiqiu was in poor health, so he specially relieved him of going to the palace to report his duties.

At the same time, in order to commend Jiang Chiqiu for his military achievements, the emperor also gave him a house in the east city of Baofan City.

The emperor sent people directly over and took Jiang Chiqiu and his group to the marshal's mansion.

Marshal's Mansion?

Although it was not a big deal that Jiang Chiqiu had achieved such great military achievements and was rewarded with a mansion in the first yard, after hearing this news, Jiang Chiqiu could not help but be confused.

Why is the emperor so anxious?

Although he was full of doubts, Jiang Chiqiu was exhausted after all the troubles along the way.

Hearing the words outside, he did not express anything, but sat in the carriage very cooperatively and returned to his "marshal's mansion".

To be fair, this is indeed a huge palace. In Jiang Chiqiu's view, the area and specifications of this place are almost equivalent to the prince's mansion.

However, Jiang Chiqiu didn’t like this mansion. Although it was built just now, the building has an extremely rigid and depressing feeling. Walking in it, people’s mood will also become depressed.

Jiang Chiqiu didn't know what the emperor sold in this gourd, and at this time he had nothing to do was rest.

It was the afternoon when Jiang Chiqiu returned to Baofan City. He visited his "new home". Before he had dinner, Jiang Chiqiu went to the bedroom to sleep.

"Changzhu." The man Jiang Chiqiu called was his personal servant. After more than a year of fighting side by side, he had already gained Jiang Chiqiu's trust.

The man came up to salute Jiang Chiqiu. He saw Jiang Chiqiu, who was half lying on the bed, coughing a few times. After a while, he said to him: "Cough... I'm in poor health, I'm afraid I won't be able to leave here tomorrow. You can inform Sister He Xia and the National Master of Zhu Fengguan tonight... and ask them to come to the Marshal's Mansion to see me directly if they have time tomorrow."

He was in a weak state and his voice was not loud, but his eyes were particularly gentle.

"Yes, Marshal." The attendant named Changzhu quickly saluted and then left the place. As Jiang Chiqiu had just ordered, he rode his horse to the Shangshu Mansion as soon as he left the Marshal's Mansion.

In fact, Changzhu didn't have to be so anxious, but when he saw Jiang Chiqiu's current expression, he couldn't help but feel panic...

After the attendant left, Jiang Chiqiu slowly lay back into the quilt.

He habitually placed his hand between his neck and held the jade pendant.

Just have a sleep... When you wake up, you can see your family and Mingzhou cicadas.

When Jiang Chiqiu thought of this, he finally felt a little better.

After lying down, Jiang Chiqiu saw that it turned out that the sun had not set yet. This book was not a time to rest, but he was too tired.

Jiang Chiqiu slowly closed his eyes, but he did not sleep as he thought.

When Jiang Chiqiu was about to fall asleep, there was a sound of footsteps outside his bedroom.

Jiang Chiqiu had always come to Qianmian. When he heard this sound, he subconsciously opened his eyes and looked outside.

"Master Marshal!" A slightly unfamiliar voice came to Jiang Chiqiu's ears.

"What's the matter?" the man asked with a strong spirit.

"You are here, you are about to arrive at the Marshal's Mansion!" The servant said nervously.

After hearing his voice, Jiang Chiqiu coughed a few times and finally said, "Take my dress."

As a marshal, Jiang Chiqiu needed to wear a dress when he met the emperor. The clothes themselves were very complicated. For Jiang Chiqiu now, how to wear them well is a big problem.

However, not long after the servants of the Marshal's Mansion brought the dress, Jiang Chiqiu had no time to change it, and heard a sound from outside.

"The Emperor is here!"

There was no choice but Jiang Chiqiu had to give up wearing a dress for the time being and kneeled directly on the ground.

The next moment, Zhuo Xingmo's familiar figure appeared in front of Jiang Chiqiu.

"Marson, please get up!" Zhuo Xingmo helped Jiang Chiqiu up, and then he immediately shut down everyone here.

Seeing that only me and Zhuo Xingmo were left in the room, Jiang Chiqiu suddenly felt something was wrong.

According to the records in "Sheng Yue Lanshan", the self in this world should have died of illness not long after he came back from victory.

Jiang Chiqiu originally thought that he could still support the last three or five months, but now when he saw Zhuo Xingmo appear, he almost understood what was going to happen later...

Thinking of this, Jiang Chiqiu's face became paler.

Sure enough, after asking Jiang Chiqiu to sit on the stool, Zhuo Xingmo praised the marshal first and said bluntly that if it weren't for him, Mu Chao, wouldn't have been able to unify so quickly.

Zhuo Xingmo said passionately, but there was no expression on Jiang Chiqiu's face.

After a while, Zhuo Xingmo finally got to the point.

"Although my dear minister guards Tuan'an border for my Mu Dynasty... but the years of wars have been full of complaints among the people."

Jiang Chiqiu knew that Zhuo Xingmo must be waiting for him here.

Perhaps because he had expected it, he just nodded his head gently when he heard the man's words, and his eyes became even colder.

Seeing Jiang Chiqiu's appearance of not getting into the oil and salt, Zhuo Xingmo had to sigh again and said falsely: "Everyone says that the Marshal is cruel..."

"Brutal?" Jiang Chiqiu coughed twice and subconsciously repeated the word.

Zhuo Xingmo couldn't help but turn his gaze to the other side with some guilt.

"Your Majesty, can I know that I was once a person who dared not hold a sword or kill people?" Jiang Chiqiu suddenly asked with a sneer.

Hearing Jiang Chiqiu's words, Zhuo Xingmo stopped speaking.

At this time, he was already an emperor, and the emperor could not hesitate or be influenced by emotions.

But when he heard Jiang Chiqiu's words, he was a family friend of the Jiang family and could not help but think of what Jiang Chiqiu looked like when he was an amateur. Finally, a hint of unbearableness flashed through the man's mind - but it was indeed only a hint of it.

The two of them stopped talking, and it took a long time before Jiang Chiqiu took a deep breath and said, "I understand what Your Majesty meant."

The emperor naturally knew that Jiang Chiqiu was a smart person.

He stood up without wanting Jiang Chiqiu to see his entangled look, and after a while, he slowly looked out the window.

At this time, a bright moon outside the window had risen, and even a full moon was hanging in the sky.

"Come in." Zhuo Xingmo cleared his throat and said to the people outside the room.

Then a man in palace clothes suddenly walked in with a wine pot. After saluting Zhuo Xingmo and Jiang Chiqiu, he placed the wine pot on the table.

Zhuo Xingmo glanced at the black jade wine pot, and then said to Jiang Chiqiu: "...I won't disturb the marshal much. Tonight, sir might as well drink alone with the moon..." Speaking of this, perhaps he felt that his words were really unpleasant. Zhuo Xingmo swallowed the following sentence and left Jiang Chiqiu's room.

But although Zhuo Xingmo left, the person who brought the wine did not leave.

When Jiang Chiqiu saw the dark shadow outside the door, he realized that this person was supervising him here.

If Jiang Chiqiu didn't want to drink poison wine, the other party would have a way to deal with him.

[Dead Escape System is loading, current progress...95%]

Jiang Chiqiu obviously did nothing, but from the moment the pot of wine was served, the system began to urge him.

It’s not that Jiang Chiqiu was unwilling to leave this world, but... he still remembered what Ming Zhouzhi said to him before leaving.

Until now, Jiang Chiqiu still doesn’t know what Mingzhou is named.

So Jiang Chiqiu sat here motionless, and he wanted to wait for the morning to know.

Finally, after the system reported the number 95% of the number, the man at the door finally couldn't wait.

The man walked in quickly, saluted Jiang Chiqiu and slowly raised his eyes and said, "Marcenary, I'm sorry..."

The man in black picked up the poisoned wine and walked step by step to Jiang Chiqiu's side.

—————

Jiang Chiqiu sat quietly by the table, and the sound of the system loading came from his ears.

Perhaps the poison wine was really made of a strange thing, but Jiang Chiqiu's body didn't feel any strange feeling at this time.

[Dead Escape System is loading, current progress: 98%...]

【Can the system wait for me for a while?】

Hearing Jiang Chiqiu's words, the system actually stopped temporarily.

Seeing this, Jiang Chiqiu tried hard to lift his spirits and said: [I want to wait for Mingzhou to know, I have something to ask him.]

The system was silent for a while, as if it was thinking, but it did not answer Jiang Chiqiu's question positively in the end.

[The host's physical condition is extremely poor and does not have the ability to stay in this world for a long time]

The moonlight shone in from the window, and Jiang Chiqiu slowly leaned on the table.

After a while, a teardrop slowly slid down his cheek.

The system is still loading at an extremely slow speed, and he is getting weaker and weaker. Just as his consciousness gradually dissipated, Jiang Chiqiu suddenly said to the system: [System, can you seal the memory of this world after leaving this world?]

The system did not directly return to Jiang Chiqiu's question, but he knew that the system would definitely agree to his request.

[Dead Escape System is loading, current progress: 99%]

Outside Baofan City, a man in white was riding a fast horse and running towards the city.
