"Second brother, second brother, let me finish talking..." Jiuyun Shuang weakly clutched Jiuyun Ke, swallowing hard and speaking feebly, "I have held on because of my obsessions, but now that both you and Yungui are here, let me entrust my final matters..."
"What final matters, don't say such ominous things, come, let me tend to your wounds..."
Jiuyun Ke could not accept this reality, so he lowered his head and began to tend to Jiuyun Shuang's wounds on his own accord.
"Second brother," Jiuyun Shuang raised his voice, "are you going to let me die with regrets?"
"Then speak, say what you have..."
Pausing for breath, Jiuyun Shuang slowly said, "By the decree of the Imperial Court, after my troops pacified the three Yipa divisions, we were to await orders in the Northern Province, sending a deputy to report back to the capital. Only after the three Yipa divisions surrendered as vassals could the entire army return to the capital."
