In　the　car.
Ye Qiu said, “Mom, I’m sorry. You were wronged today.”
“You silly child, what are you talking about.” Qian Jinglan said, “You had so many things happen in the hospital and you actually hid them from me. If I hadn’t gone to the hospital today, how long were you going to hide it from me？”
“I just didn’t want you to worry.”
“Listen to my advice and don’t be too tough. If you can’t continue in the hospital, then change to another hospital. As for Zhang Lili, she has changed and is no longer the kind girl she used to be. It’s better to break up.”
“Hmm.”
“Mr. Zhao must have something important to talk to you about. I won’t delay you anymore. I’ll get off in front.”
After the car stopped, Ye Qiu helped Qian Jinglan get off the car.
“Mr. Zhao, thank you for your trouble today.” Qian Jinglan said politely.
“Auntie, you don’t have to be polite. It’s just a small matter.” Zhao Yun was also very polite.
Qian Jinglan then told Ye Qiu again： “Come back early. I’ll wait for you to come home for dinner. Today, mom will make your favorite Mapo Tofu for you.”
“Got it.”
After the car started, Ye Qiu said with some embarrassment： “My mom is like this, rather wordy. I’m sorry, Mr. Zhao. I made you laugh.”
“It’s　very　good.”
Very good？
Ye Qiu looked at Zhao Yun was puzzled.
The latter remained silent and concentrated on driving.
Silent all the way.
The atmosphere in the car was a bit suppressed.
Ye Qiu wanted to speak several times but stopped.
After a full twenty minutes, Zhao Yun suddenly said, “Doctor Ye surely you have a lot of doubts in your heart?”
“Yes.” Ye Qiu didn’t deny it.
“Ask whatever you want. As long as I can say it, I will tell you.”
“Who is the Dragon King？” Ye Qiu asked as soon as he opened his mouth.
This question had been held in him all the way.
“The Dragon King is the king of Jiangzhou’s underground world！ He was once also a master on the Tiger Ranking！” Zhao Yun then said： “Actually, you and the Dragon King have already met.”
“Is it the old man in a Tang suit who was with you yesterday？” Ye Qiu asked.
“Yes.”
Sure enough, it was him！
When Ye Qiu saw the old man in a Tang suit yesterday, he felt that the old man didn’t look like an ordinary person. Now it seems that his guess was correct.
“Is the Dragon King his real name？” Ye Qiu asked again.
“No, it’s just a title.” Zhao Yun said, “The real name of the Dragon King is Long Qianqiu, and he is called the Dragon King in the martial arts world.”
So that’s how it is.
“May I ask, what is your relationship with the Dragon King, Mr. Zhao？” Ye Qiu was a little curious about Zhao Yun’s identity.
“I am the Dragon King’s personal bodyguard.”
“Then your kung fu must be very powerful, right？”
Zhao Yun smiled and didn’t answer.
The car drove into the central area of the city and then entered a secluded mountain road. Ye Qiu took a look out of the car window and asked, “Are we going to Yunwu Mountain？”
“Well, the Dragon King lives on Yunwu Mountain.”
Ye Qiu was shocked.
In the center of Jiangzhou City, there is a mountain peak with an altitude of 500 meters called Yunwu Mountain. The scenery here is pleasant and the environment is beautiful.
In the early days of the founding of the People’s Republic of China, this was a park. Later, it was developed into a top-notch rich area. Only the top dignitaries in Jiangzhou are eligible to live on Yunwu Mountain.
Fifteen　minutes　later.
One after another, fine villas with Chinese style appeared in Ye Qiu’s sight. They were scattered among the verdant trees. quiet and distant.
The car kept driving towards the highest peak. Finally, it stopped in front of an antique villa.
“Doctor Ye, we’re here.” Zhao Yun said.
Ye Qiu nodded. As soon as he got out of the car, he saw four guards standing at the gate of the villa. Each of them was lean and tough, with sharp eyes.
The auras of these four guards were very similar to that on Zhao Yun, but their auras were much weaker than Zhao Yun’s.
“Brother Zhao！”
Seeing Zhao Yun, the four guards shouted respectfully.
“This is Ye Qiu, a guest invited by the Dragon King.” Zhao Yun pointed to Ye Qiu.
The four guards took a look at Ye Qiu and quickly stepped aside.
“Doctor Ye, please come with me.” Zhao Yun led the way in front.
Ye Qiu stepped into the gate, and a courtyard covering several hundred square meters appeared in sight. There were pavilions, terraces and open halls, fish ponds and rockeries, and all kinds of rare flowers and strange grasses were planted, which had a bit of the flavor of a summer resort.
In the middle of the courtyard, there was a thick sycamore tree. It was at least a hundred years old and had luxuriant branches and leaves.
Under the tree, there was a stone table.
Rice paper was spread on the stone table.
The Dragon King was practicing calligraphy.
“When the Dragon King practices calligraphy, he doesn’t like to be disturbed. You should step lightly.” Zhao Yun reminded in a low voice.
Ye　Qiu　nodded.
The two walked to the side of the Dragon King. Ye Qiu stretched his head and looked. He saw a few sentences written on the rice paper：
“To complete the king’s affairs in the world and win the reputation before and after death. Unfortunately, the hair turns white.”
The writing was vigorous and powerful, and the strength penetrated the paper. Between the pen and ink, there was a invincible murderous aura leaping on the paper.
“The characters are good, but unfortunately…”
Ye Qiu suddenly spoke.
“What a pity？” asked the Dragon King indifferently.
“What a pity that there is too much murderous intent.”
Pa！
The Dragon King threw down the brush in his hand, raised his head, and his gaze fell on Ye Qiu.
Instantly.
Ye Qiu felt as if he was being targeted by a peerless fierce beast, and all the hairs on his body stood up.
Seeing this, Zhao Yun quickly said, “Ye Qiu, hurry up and apologize to the Dragon King.”
“Do you also understand calligraphy？” asked the Dragon King before Ye Qiu could open his mouth to apologize.
“I know a little.”
In the inheritance of the Ye family’s ancestor, there is a lot of knowledge about calligraphy.
“You just said that there is too much murderous intent. Do you think my state of mind when writing is wrong？” asked the Dragon King again.
Ye Qiu had to bite the bullet and say, “The author of this poem is Xin Qiji. He is a famous general in the Southern Song Dynasty who resisted the Jin. He strongly advocated to recover the Central Plains all his life, but was excluded and hit, and was not appointed for a long time. living in seclusion for nearly twenty years.”
“This poem was written by Xin Qiji when he was frustrated and living in seclusion in Xinzhou.”
In the poem, he expressed the ambition of killing the enemy and serving the country and establishing achievements. However, the sentence ‘What a pity that my hair turns white’ expresses Xin Qiji’s depression, pain and anger that he has no way to serve the country and is difficult to express!
“And the characters you wrote, with their silver strokes and iron hooks, are filled with a strong murderous aura, completely opposite to the state of mind of the poet. However, they are also full of a heroic spirit that can swallow thousands of miles like a tiger. This reminds me of a poem by Cao Cao： An old steed in the stable still aspires to gallop a thousand miles; a noble-hearted man in his old age still harbors great ambitions.”
The Dragon King stared at Ye Qiu, his eyes as deep as a profound abyss, not saying a word, but the huge imposing manner on his body still remained.
Ye Qiu was extremely nervous, and cold sweat oozed from his forehead.
After a full two minutes, the Dragon King suddenly burst into laughter and said, “Ye Qiu, you are very good.”
Hearing this sentence, Ye Qiu finally let out a sigh of relief.
Then, the Dragon King asked kindly, “Ye Qiu, I asked Zhao Yun to invite you. Did it not disturb your work？”
“No.”
“That’s good.” The Dragon King then put away the smile on his face and said solemnly, “Ye Qiu, I asked you to come here because there is something I want to ask you to help with.”
“What is it？” Ye Qiu asked.
“I want you to help me treat my illness.” The Dragon King said, “I’m going to die soon.”
