Chapter 307, Xinghe battles and loneliness, the engagement in the imperial city shocked the world
Zhang Yuan closed his eyes forever and just lay in Song Qingshu's arms.
Song Qingshu placed his right hand behind Zhang Yuan's back, and his inner energy poured in like spring water, but all of this was of no avail, as if he was sinking into the sea without any response.
Zhang Yuan's palm was directed towards Tianling Gai without any hesitation or any chance of rescue.
He died so resolutely, so decisively.
Even though Zhang Yuan endured pain before his death, he had a faint smile on his face, as if to tell everyone that he was satisfied with the result.
very satisfied.
This is the result he wants to wait for, the result he wants to see.
Don't be sad for me, don't feel sorry for me, I left peacefully and contentedly.
But it was this smile that penetrated Song Qingshu's heart like a sharp blade.
"Qingshu...enough..." Yang Xue held Song Qingshu's arm tightly with her right hand, her voice trembling unbearably.
She knew that Zhang Yuan was dead and there was no chance of rescue.
Song Qingshu ignored Yang Xue's persuasion, and the internal force in his body still did not stop, endlessly flowing into Zhang Yuan's body.
He couldn't accept this fact.
Zhang Yuan is dead! !
He died like this, and committed suicide! ! suicide! !
He never imagined that such a scene would appear, never imagined.
Anger, self-blame... Guilt suddenly flooded Song Qingshu's heart.
Time passes slowly...
Everyone looked at Song Qingshu quietly like this. Yuan Shi remained silent, as did Qi Mu and others.
Qi Mu and others knew Song Qingshu very well, and even Yang Xue, the young lady, could not persuade him, and it was even more impossible for others.
When a gust of wind blew past, the surrounding flames swept everyone with bursts of heat.
The scorching temperature was baking everyone, and the tears in the corners of Song Qingshu's eyes disappeared into the air with bursts of flames. His eyes left Zhang Yuan's face, and his cold eyes looked at Zhang Wuji, who was holding the Heavenly Sword and trembling at the side.
"Is this the result you want!"
Zhang Wuji didn't dare to look at Song Qingshu's eyes, and didn't know how to respond. He lowered his head with regret in his eyes, and the Yitian Sword fell from his hand and was inserted directly into the loess.
Just like Song Qingshu still has some sense, Zhang Wuji has collapsed.
When Zhang Yuan committed suicide, his mind went blank.
He doesn’t understand, doesn’t understand, doesn’t know why…
"Get everyone back to Wudang Mountain!" Song Qingshu's cold eyes swept over Zhang Wuji, Qi Mu and others.
"If you dare to leave Wudang without my message, I will directly destroy you!"
"roll!"
Qi Mu and others lowered their heads and walked slowly towards the distance, but their peripheral vision always stayed on Song Qingshu and Zhang Yuan in his arms.
At this moment, everyone seemed to have aged countless times.
Even Qi Mu and Zhang Cang were like this. They had thought about this result, but when it was placed in front of them, they could not accept it.
They thought about revenge and killing, but when Song Qingshu held Zhang Yuan, they sobered up.
Everything is suppressed.
Everyone just turned around and left through the blazing flames and thick smoke.
When no one could see Song Qingshu and others anymore, they withdrew their gaze and staggered towards the distance.
At this moment, silent tears were shed on everyone's faces. There was no crying, no sound, just tears.
They forgot the injuries, the pain they forgot, and there was only endless sadness and response in their hearts.
Zhang Yuan's face, Zhang Yuan's smile, everyone's days with Zhang Yuan.
…
In the midst of the blazing flames, Song Qingshu slowly stood up with Zhang Yuan in his arms, turned around and walked towards the distance, a hoarse voice came from behind.
"Imperial City...I'm waiting for you!"
"These eleven living people should never enter the Central Plains in this life!"
"Otherwise...the whole family will be destroyed!"
Everyone in the Yuan room just watched Song Qingshu and others leave with extremely complicated eyes.
No one expected that Zhang Yuan would commit suicide, nor did they expect that this chaotic battle would end with Zhang Yuan's death.
No one doubts Song Qingshu's determination and means.
This is not a consultation, but an order, a warning, a reminder.
When Song Qingshu and others completely disappeared from everyone's sight, Jing Bufan took a long breath: "Let's all go back to Mongolia."
"As long as the chaos in the Central Plains subsides, don't leave seclusion."
"Otherwise...this war will never end. After the Central Plains will be Mongolia."
"Let's go."
Jing Bufan left slowly with heavy steps. At this time, the scene before Zhang Yuan's death lingered in his mind.
Regretful? Admire it?
he does not know.
I just feel an inexplicable heaviness in my heart.
He knew very well who Zhang Yuan was. Zhang Yuan had no righteousness, overall situation, or chivalry in his heart. All he had was respect for Song Qingshu.
But just because of this respect, he was willing to give everything for Song Qingshu.
This is also the source of Song Qingshu's anger, self-blame, and regret.
Song Qingshu knew Qi Mu and the other twelve people better than anyone else. Song Qingshu had used various methods to prevent these people from participating in the affairs of the Central Plains.
But all failed.
Both parties are selfless gifts, but it is this selflessness that makes people most heartbroken.
Soon after, Jing Bufan and the other elders stopped in a high mountain.
They saw the extremely slow figures of Song Qingshu, Yang Xue and others.
"Let everyone withdraw. Send people to follow Song Qingshu at this time. Song Qingshu will kill people." Jing Bufan's extremely complicated voice sounded.
"Don't make any arrangements. That's it for the Central Plains."
"Stop prying for information, and stop paying attention to anyone. Everyone should evacuate to Mongolia."
"This round in the Central Plains... we should go."
Everyone looked at Jing Bufan's lonely back, and their hearts twitched inexplicably.
go?
everyone...
at this time?
Before anyone could ask questions, Jing Bufan's distant voice sounded again: "Zhang Yuan's incident has had a great impact on Song Qingshu, more than you can imagine."
"We have only two options before us now."
"First, we were defeated in the Imperial City. The engagement between Song Qingshu and Yang Xue must have shocked the world. At that time, Yuanshi Wulin and Zhongyuan Wulin would see our defeat. If we were defeated, the remaining faith in Yuanshi Wulin's heart would be over. "
"Second, if we win, then Zhenren Zhang will fight with the older generation of the Yuan Dynasty, and both sides will suffer losses, or both sides will die of exhaustion, then the Central Plains will fall into madness, whether it is martial arts or the Central Plains army, for the Central Plains, they I am grateful for everything Song Qingshu has brought to them, and I am grateful that Song Qingshu has given them the confidence. Their anger and madness will reach unprecedented heights, and they will not be as decadent and unable to recover like Yuanshi, but will be even more powerful."
"Because the Central Plains has been going through this for a long time. They have reached this point under the pressure of the Yuan Chamber. Even if Song Qingshu and others lose, they have also hindered the top combat power of the Yuan Chamber."
"Once that happens..."
As he spoke, Jing Bufan's voice fluctuated, as if he himself didn't dare to imagine that scene.
"Once that happens, there will be an uncontrollable situation in the Central Plains Wulin and the Yuanshi Wulin. After the Central Plains is calmed down, the martial arts people will lead the Central Plains Wulin and the army to madly clean up everyone in the Yuanshi in the Central Plains."
"They want to vent their anger, take revenge, take crazy revenge."
"Even if Song Qingshu wants to stop it, he can't. That's the overall situation and what people want."
"Even if Qi Mu and others are destroyed by Song Qingshu, they will still take action."
"Zhang Yuan died because of Zhang Wuji. The higher-ups of the Mingjiao are just people in the world. They don't have a big picture of the overall situation. They will fully support Qi Mu in everything he does."
"Whether it's Zhu Yuanzhang or Chen Youliang, they have no choice but to cooperate."
"It is possible for the Central Plains army to attack Mongolia directly."
"That way... the world would be in chaos, even more chaotic than it is now."
Hearing this, everyone's expressions changed drastically. They could not imagine such a scene.
Will Qi Mu and others take revenge? There is no doubt about this answer. This group of people don't care about this at all. They will definitely take action.
As for the top management of Mingjiao...that group of people will definitely pay for Zhang Wuji's mistakes, and supporting Qi Mu is inevitable.
In martial arts, if the armies are intertwined, it will be really chaotic, very chaotic.
Mongolia, the last retreat of the Yuan Dynasty, may also be affected.
All of this adds up to only one answer.
Regardless of the outcome of the Imperial City War, the Central Plains has become a foregone conclusion and cannot be changed.
"I'll make arrangements!" Yuan Qing responded and left directly.
"I'll inform the others." Bagu Cang responded in the same way.
Everyone left quickly. Everyone knew that Jing Bufan's analysis was correct and nothing could be changed.
Now all they have to do is deal with the aftermath.
Jing Bufan ignored everyone, but sat on the top of the mountain, letting the scorching sun shine on him, just like an old man in meditation.
Nothing around him could disturb him.
The sun sets from high in the sky to the moon rising, and then the sun rises and sets.
For a whole day and night, Jing Bufan just sat there without moving at all. The only thing that changed was his eyes.
From the initial contemplation, loneliness, to confusion, to determination, I slowly got up and walked towards the distance.
Everyone knows what he thinks, and no one knows what decision he makes.
…
The vigorous battle in Xinghe City ended quietly.
The Yuanshi army is gone, and the Central Plains army is gone. Apart from the ruins left by the battle and the burning flames, there is nothing else.
No one knows what happened in the battle between Qi Mu and others and Yuan Shi Chang She Jing Ren.
It was as if nothing had happened, as if a long-awaited drama had ended quietly.
Yuanshi lost the news and whereabouts of Jing Bufan and other older generations.
The Central Plains also lost the whereabouts of Song Qingshu, Yang Xue and others, and the only one who knew was the whereabouts of Qi Mu and others.
But Qi Mu, Zhang Wuji and others remained silent and said nothing.
Everything that happened in Xinghe City became a mystery.
Amidst the doubts and worries of countless people, an extremely shocking news resounded throughout the Central Plains.
On August 18, Song Qingshu and Yang Xue were engaged in the imperial city!
Not Wudang, not an ancient tomb, but the Imperial City!
This is a result that no one expected. People in the Yuan Dynasty don’t understand, and people in the Central Plains don’t understand either...
This news was transmitted very quickly. In just two days, it had already appeared outside the Central Plains. Even in remote corners, mountain villages knew the news.
For a time, the news of the engagement became a hot topic, and the doubts about the battle in Xinghe City were forgotten by many people.
The engagement between Song Qingshu and Yang Xue is undoubtedly a major event in the Central Plains.
Countless people set off directly to the Imperial City. Even if the Imperial City was dangerous, they didn't care.
On top of the light, the originally heated battle also received a rare buffer due to the news of the engagement.
All the senior officials of the Mingjiao gathered together and frowned.
Everyone is thinking about one thing, how do they get there!
Now there are still twenty days before the engagement in the Imperial City. They must go, but the situation at Guangmingding makes it impossible to escape.
While Guangmingding was considering countermeasures, Yuanshi also received the news.
This time, the engagement banquet between Song Qingshu and Yang Xue was arranged by the Yuan Dynasty.
This is very strange...
Although the older generation did not show up, various arrangements and orders have been issued.
When everyone was confused, a person broke into the hall directly, holding a letter in his hand.
"Urgent news from the Imperial City!"
After everyone in the Yuan room checked the letter, they were all shocked.
Not only Jing Bufan and others will be in the Imperial City that day, but all ancestor-level figures will also be in the Imperial City.
Zhenren Zhang of Zhongyuan was also in the imperial city.
After Song Qingshu gets engaged to Yang Xue, he will fight against top masters such as Jing Bufan!
At this moment, everyone made a decision in their hearts. They must go to the Imperial City and see it.
Everyone has a feeling that there will be big changes in the battle of the Imperial City, big changes.
…
In the Mingjiao hall, the Mingjiao also received almost the same message.
However, this news came not from Song Qingshu, but from Zhenren Zhang.
Everyone could hardly believe their eyes.
Song Qingshu and others fought against Jing Bufan and others, and all the top masters from the Yuan Dynasty and the Central Plains gathered in the imperial city.
The first thought in everyone's mind is a decisive battle!
Song Qingshu wanted to end all this, otherwise the long-lost Master Zhang would not show up and send a message.
Everyone knows that Song Qingshu can always look for Zhang Zhenren.
"Something serious has happened." Yang Xiao frowned.
"Master Song and Mrs. Song disappeared, Qi Mu and others remained silent, and Master Zhang appeared in the imperial city."
"It's all so weird."
Wang He's deep voice sounded: "I must go to the Imperial City!"
The other five sects also spoke one after another: "Go!"
"No matter what the reason is, we have to go to Daxia Song's engagement!"
"right!"
"It's impossible to solve it here, so let's have a fight and let's fight!"
"Yes! Have a fight!"
"We want to go to the Imperial City, and the Yuanshi side must also want to go. It's enough if everyone is injured, or someone dies!"
"agree!"
"agree!"
"..."
All the first-class experts spoke one after another, and everyone's opinions were surprisingly unanimous without any hesitation.
You must go to the Imperial City!
Go both emotionally and rationally.
"I'll deliver the message. The decisive battle will take place in three days!" Wei Yixiao showed a hint of a smile, and his figure flashed past and disappeared into the hall.
Everyone didn't have any objections to this. Everyone knew Wei Yixiao's strength, so there wouldn't be any surprises just delivering the letter.
After everyone left, Yang Xiao came to Wang He's residence and found Wang He.
Dong Dong...
Dong Dong...
Wang He heard the knock on the door and put down the pen and ink in his hand: "Come in."
After Yang Xiao came in, he looked at Wang He's wet brush and said, "Is it for Qi Mu?"
Wang He nodded and sat down with Yang Xiao.
"Something must have gone wrong in the Xinghe War." Wang He's worried voice sounded.
"Senior Brother Song disappeared. Senior Brother Wuji, Lao Qi and others all fell silent. They went into seclusion directly after returning. It's too abnormal."
"I can understand the disappearance of Senior Brother Song, but it is definitely wrong for Senior Brother Wuji, Lao Qi and others to do this."
Yang Xiao sighed: "Is there any reply?"
Wang He looked bitter: "No, I have sent no less than ten letters during this period, but they all came to nothing, and I didn't get any response."
Yang Xiao was mentally prepared for this situation. Whether it was Lao Qi or Zijia taught Wuji, this would not happen unless something serious happened.
"Come out with me."
"There are some things I wasn't planning to tell you, but I have to say them now."
Wang He's eyes focused: "Something happened?"
Yang Xiao was silent for a few seconds: "The Eagle King and Master Song are coming to Guangmingding."
"What!" Wang He stood up suddenly as he exclaimed, his face changed drastically, he looked at Yang Xiao in disbelief, and then spoke urgently.
"when!!"
"How could they come, how could they come!!"
"They shouldn't be here, they shouldn't be here!!"
"..."
Wang He's words have begun to be incoherent. He knows very well that the White-browed Eagle King and Head Song can't come to Guangmingding. They really can't come.
Yang Xiao could understand Wang He's shock and worry, and he did the same.
But he couldn't persuade them, and the two of them wouldn't let him talk. He had no choice but to try his best to support the two of them and prevent them from taking action.
"They have been here for a while. They occasionally take action, but they are very secretive. They are waiting for an opportunity."
"Now that Hero Song and Mrs. Song are engaged, they need to know some things. If they act rashly, problems will arise."
"So I want you to come with me."
"Go, go, go!" Wang He rushed outside without stopping at all, urging Yang Xiao at the same time.
In this situation, if the White-browed Eagle King and the leader suddenly take action, big problems will arise.
The Yuanshi Wulin wants to go to the Imperial City, and they also want to go to the Imperial City. There will be a big battle after that, and they must be arranged well, otherwise Senior Brother Song will not be able to explain it. (End of chapter)
