A thousand-year-old family begins with one fighting against ten thousand.

"Zhou Qing!"

"Qinghong!"

"Heart Crane!"

Xue Rengui saw his three brothers beside him and hurriedly tried to climb over to see how they were doing.

However, the medication in his body left him with no strength, and he could only watch helplessly.

As time passed, Xue Rengui gradually regained some of his strength.

He moved his body little by little, came to the bedside, and fell off the bed.

Xue Rengui moved his body on the ground like a worm.

Just a little bit. She moved her body to the side of Zhou Qing's bed.

"Zhou Qing! Zhou Qing!"

"What's wrong with you? Wake up, Zhou Qing!"

Xue Rengui's voice was hoarse, but filled with worry.

At Xue Rengui's repeated calls, Zhou Qing's fingers twitched, and he slowly opened his eyes.

"Zhou Qing!"

"Zhou Qing!"

As soon as Zhou Qing opened his eyes, he heard someone calling his name repeatedly, and the voice was extremely familiar and warm.

"Big brother!"

Zhou Qing answered in a hoarse voice.

Coming to his senses, he remembered what had happened.

"Zhou Qing, you're awake?!"

Xue Rengui said happily, "I'll go call Xinhe and Qinghong!"

After saying that, Xue Rengui, still groping, used the friction between his body and the floor to reach the beds of his other two brothers.

"Xinhe! Qinghong!"

He kept calling out to his two brothers, waking them from their slumber.

"You're awake?!"

Hearing a soft sound coming from the bed, Xue Rengui quickly asked.

"Big brother?"

The two opened their eyes in confusion, only to find themselves in a house, not in the legendary underworld.

"What exactly happened?"

"Aren't we all dead?"

The two asked, puzzled.

"You are indeed all dead, and your coffins have already been laid to rest."

Wei Ye walked in from outside and, seeing this scene, couldn't help but feel moved by the deep bond between the brothers.

"The Prince of Yan!"

Upon seeing the newcomers, all three except Zhou Qing were extremely surprised.

The four men tried to get up and bow to Wei Ye, but they were too weak to do so.

"The effects of the medication haven't worn off yet, so get some rest and don't overexert yourselves."

Wei Ye stepped forward, lifted Xue Rengui from the ground, and put him back on the bed.

"Effective properties?"

"Your Highness, what exactly happened?"

Xue Rengui asked, puzzled.

Wei Ye glanced at Zhou Qing. "Zhou Qing, shall we explain, or shall we?"

Xue Rengui and the other two all turned their gazes toward Zhou Qing, indicating that all of this was related to Zhou Qing.

"Your Highness, let me do it."

Zhou Qing looked at Xue Rengui, "Brother, we've known each other for so many years, I know your temper."

"After court, my brothers and I agreed to go and persuade you, but I know you won't listen."

"So I didn't go directly to your residence, but went to the Prince of Yan's residence to ask the Prince of Yan for help."

"The Prince of Yan values ​​your abilities, and knows that you are innocent, so he is willing to help you."

"The Prince of Yan gave me a potion to fake my death and instructed me to take the potion before you drank the poisoned wine. So I quickly went back and made a vegetable dumpling and put it into that vegetable dumpling."

"You know what happened after that, brother. I don't know what happened after the four of us brothers drank the poisoned wine."

Xue Rengui looked at Zhou Qing with emotion. He had never expected that his brother had done so much for him in secret.

"brother!"

"Big brother!"

Wei Ye quickly interrupted the two, "I'll tell you what happens next."

"The medicine I gave you was specially prepared by Prince An; it was more like two doses than one."

"One of the doses is specifically for poisoned wine; once taken, the poisoned wine will not kill you."

"The second dose is the drug to induce a state of suspended animation. After taking it, a person will appear to be in a state of suspended animation, with their breathing stopping, their heart almost stopping, and their pulse so weak that it cannot be detected by pulse taking."

"After taking these two doses of medicine, you will then drink the poisoned wine, which will create the illusion that you have died from the poison."

"Those who come to determine whether your deaths are real or not will find that your hearts have stopped beating and you have died from the poison."

"That way we can deceive everyone and fake our death to escape."

"Your original identities have been confirmed as deceased; all past events are hereby wiped clean!"

"Neither the kindness of the late emperor nor the cruelty of the current emperor remains."

"You can change your names, move to a different place, and live a life that is only your own in the final stage of your lives."

Is it all over?

Xue Rengui looked somewhat bewildered. He had fought for the Tang Dynasty for decades, spending most of his life in the army.

Telling him suddenly that everything is over and he should go live the life he wants has left him somewhat bewildered.

"Big brother."

Zhou Qing and the other two looked at Xue Rengui. From their eyes, Xue Rengui could tell that wherever he went, the three brothers would follow.

"No rush, you can take your time to think about it."

Wei Ye also knew that suddenly asking people to think about this issue was of great importance and that a decision could not be made lightly.

"No need."

Xue Rengui exhaled a breath of stale air and looked at Wei Ye.

"I wonder if there is any vacant land in Yanzhou. I would like to take my brothers and live in seclusion here, plant a few acres of thin fields and mulberry trees, work at sunrise and rest at sunset, and never ask about worldly affairs again."

Wei Ye nodded slightly. "Of course."

"It would be a pity if your military talents were lost forever."

"Why not write some military treatises while you're at it, and teach a few classes at the academy in Yanzhou?"

Xue Rengui was somewhat tempted by Wei Ye's words. He did not want his knowledge to be buried. Yanzhou was a land of outstanding people and talents, where the most outstanding talents in the world gathered.

If one could find one or two disciples to pass on all one's knowledge, that would be a wonderful thing.

Moreover, there won't be any of those unpleasant things in Yanzhou.

Although the past grievances with the Li Tang royal family have faded away, the Prince of Yan's life-saving grace still needs to be repaid, and this is a good opportunity to do so.

After a moment's thought, Xue Rengui agreed.

Under Wei Ye's arrangement, Xue Rengui and his three companions easily left Luoyang and found a farmhouse in Yanzhou to stay in.

The families of the four of them were also taken away by Wei Ye and settled together.
