Chapter 328
Unfortunately, things did not go as planned. Later, a shocking and brilliant person appeared. His talent and wisdom were extraordinary. In comparison, he suddenly felt ashamed, as if he had suddenly become useless.
At this moment, Feng Quji's face, which was originally as dry as tree bark, slowly blossomed into a sincere and gratified smile. Somehow, just this smile made him look as if he had added a few more strands of energy and spirit that he had never had before.
Then, he slowly looked at his children who were kneeling in front of him. Over the years, he had been in a half-dead state and his health was getting worse and worse, which really made these children suffer! In order to treat his illness, they ran around to seek medical treatment and medicine, which was really heartbreaking.
"Well, my children... If there is an afterlife, I hope we can become king and subject again, and work together for the Qin Empire until our death."
As Feng Quji spoke, he stretched out his hand with a slight tremor, wanting to touch the children's faces, but in the end he was unable to do so, and his arm hung in the air. After a brief pause, he took a deep breath and continued.
"I know...in my heart...that my...time...is...running...away. So...don't...waste...your...energy...looking...for...me...in...vain. For...the...rest...of...your...life, you...must...remember...that...only...if...the Great Qin is prosperous, can our...Feng...family...be...able...to...live...in. No...time...or...wherever, you...must...do...all...the...work...and...continue...to...serve...the...Great Qin! Never...forget, without...the Great Qin, there...would be no Feng...family today! Remember! Remember!"
After saying this, Feng Quji's slightly pale face trembled slightly, and then, as if being pulled by an invisible force, he slowly closed his eyes. At that moment, two lines of clear tears quietly slid down his wrinkled eyes like a flood.
These seemingly simple words almost exhausted all the strength of Feng Quji at this moment. He felt that his eyelids were as heavy as a thousand-pound burden, and every time he wanted to open them, he had to make great efforts. Deep in his heart, a deep fear followed him like a shadow - he was afraid that once he closed his eyes, he would never wake up again. However, with the last bit of tenacious will, Feng Quji still resisted the tiredness and struggled to prevent himself from falling asleep.
"Emperor, let's go out!"
Qin Xingfu looked at the heartbreaking scene in front of her, and she couldn't help but feel sad. The First Emperor knew that it was no longer suitable to stay here at this time, so he walked out with her and left the space for the Feng family.
After hearing what Qin Xingfu said, Xu Yu hurried forward. Her beautiful eyes were full of concern, and she stared straight at Feng Quji's haggard face, and began to sweat all over.
When he saw Qin Xingfu shaking his head to indicate that he didn't need to care about him, Xu Tuo's brows furrowed tightly, but he finally stood aside silently without saying anything more. He just watched Feng Quji sweating, which was different from before, like a layer of oil. What Xu Tuo thought of in his mind was that sweat was like oil.
He strode forward, took out a silver needle from his package and inserted it into Feng Quji's acupuncture points.
"Doctor Xu, that's not necessary! Ahem... I've been... troubled... over the years!"
He was really tired and had so many things to say, but unfortunately he just didn't have the strength left. Gradually, he lost his breath.
"Father! Wake up."
Feng Sheng burst into tears, and the whole Feng family wailed and cried bitterly. The First Emperor stood at the door and sighed deeply. His previously upright back seemed to have become a little bent, and his steps became a little unsteady.
Qin Xingfu stepped forward and supported him without saying anything.
In fact, people live for a lifetime, and plants and trees wither for only a few years. In the end, everyone will miss the past years, the days of quarreling and making things difficult for each other.
"Another old friend has disappeared from this world!"
"People are always lonely. You have to learn to get used to it."
In the face of time, at this moment, the status of the two people is equal, or it is equal to everyone. It will leave its mark on everyone's body and spirit.
The sad news was published in the Daqin newspaper and on the radio that day. However, for most people, those people were too far away from them, and they would be better off caring more about today's meat price and where tomorrow's meals will come from.
Li Si, who had recovered a lot from his illness, was stunned for a long time when he heard the news. He didn't expect that he would be one step ahead of him.
After coming to his senses, he asked someone to change him into clean clothes and wanted to go to pay his respects to Feng Quji. Li You was worried about his health.
"Father, you are feeling better now, let us do this for you."
"I'm going to see my old friend off, no problem."
They were still wandering around in the past few years, but I didn't expect that in just two years, they all passed away one after another. Li Si walked out tremblingly, leaning on a cane.
Li You stepped forward to support him. The old man of the Wang family was trying to be strong and ended up falling. He is not well yet. If the old man of his family also fell, his life would be in danger. He did not dare to be careless at all.
Feng Quji's achievements and reputation throughout his life were not as well-known as those of military generals, but for civil officials, many of the current official systems of the Qin Dynasty evolved from him.
Li Si and Wang Ben met at the door and smiled at each other.
"Wang Ben, your leg hasn't healed yet. I remember you broke your leg before and it healed very quickly."
"Alas, he's getting old, he has to give in! Are you coming to see him off too?"
"Yes! We said before that we would take good care of ourselves and go out for a walk next time, but I didn't expect that Old Feng would break his promise."
The two of them supported each other and came to the mourning hall together. Feng Jie and his family were mourning nearby and had to cheer up to welcome the guests.
"Condolences!"
"Thank you, Lord Li and Lord Wang. My father passed away peacefully without suffering much."
This sentence not only comforts oneself but also others. The two nodded after hearing it.
"That's good. He was just a weak scholar, so it's good that he passed away peacefully."
Wang Ben remembered the pain his father felt when he was dying. He often had nightmares, was irritable, and was terrified. In the end, his eyes were wide open and he seemed to have died from a great shock.
They, father and son, have fought on the battlefield all their lives and killed countless people. He was afraid that he would have the same result. He didn't even dare to imagine what the outcome would be.
Li Si patted his shoulder to comfort him.
