Volume 1: Young Ambition, Emerging Chapter Seventy-Four: Qingcheng Choice, Zhenhai Hou Zhi
Shingen Kamiizumi is dead. This time the Haichuan bandit plague is about to come to an end, and the war on the other side should be over, look at the time, if nothing else, the second army in Qingcheng will also arrive. All this was going according to Qingcheng's plan, and finally it was time to breathe a sigh of relief, but Qingcheng looked at Shangquan Shingen with a solemn face, and couldn't relax for a long time.
Thinking about what Kamiizumi Shingen had said when he was dying, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and thought to himself: Why did he warn me not to repeat my father's mistakes? Seeing his sincere appearance, and asking for me, plus people are dying and his words are kind, shouldn't it be to sow discord. Could it be that what does he know?
Qingcheng has always had some doubts about the Duan family's suffering, why is there only a conviction but no evidence? Why did the Dragon Guard personally come to Qingyu City to carry out Emperor Hui's will? And why, like Duan Feiyan, a famous commander in the army, the earl of Daqi, is so neat and neat, even the strongest force in Daqi, the Qingcheng Army, is scattered?
However, the people of Qingcheng are soft-spoken and have no connections in the army, so these doubts can only be put aside for the time being and left for later investigation. However, it is precisely because of these doubts that Qingcheng has many doubts about this matter. So whenever anyone mentions it, he cares.
And he thought about what Kamiizumi Shingen had warned him when he was dying, and felt that the latter should know something, so he warned him. However, man is dead, and all that is left is a question, but no one can answer it. Thinking of this, Qingcheng temporarily put aside this doubt, and then looked at Kamiizumi Shingen.
The mastermind who created the Haichuan bandit disaster in front of him is the enemy of Daqi, but it is a belief of most Haichuan warriors, if his defeat can be made public, not only can he show Qingcheng's ability, but also can greatly frustrate Haichuan's spirit and achieve the goal of suppressing bandits.
The most important point, just like Kamiizumi Shingen himself said, he is already the faith and hope of most Haichuan warriors, if he dies in Daqi, then who will dare to intrude on Daqi in the future? Thinking of this, Qingcheng frowned, and sighed even more after a while, as if he was making a difficult choice.
Kamiizumi Shingen did not shy away from pointing out this matter, showing that he really had no choice but to try his best and entrust this matter to me. Umikawa's wolf ambition, Kamiizumi Shingen's death may be just the opportunity to hit them, this has the same meaning as what I'm about to do, should I help him? β
Haichuan disturbs Qi, the sin lies in the former, Qingcheng, as a soldier who protects his family and country, should put the interests of his country and the safety of the people first. However, Qingcheng also greatly admires the loyalty of Shangquan Shingen, and if he can, he doesn't want to kill them all, and he also wants to help him. Or rather, help Haichuan.
"Haichuan should indeed be punished, and his ambition should be stifled. However, Kamiizumi Shingen was regarded as a sword saint by Haichuan, which was the hope of the vast majority of Haichuan swordsmen, and the hope that his country's swordsmanship could be carried forward in Haichuan's martial arts. And most of Haichuan's swordsmen do not participate in political affairs, but only to do chivalrous justice and benefit the poor people. Although Haichuan is guilty, the crime lies in the court and has nothing to do with the people. If I really tell the world about his death, the deterrence to the people and ordinary people of Haichuan will be far higher than the deterrence of the Haichuan court. After all, although Haichuan is small, there will always be a general who can replace Kamizumi Shingen, but Haichuan's sword saint is the only one. β
Thinking like this, Qingcheng seemed to have made up his mind. I saw him look around, and when he saw Kamiizumi Shingen's saber, he walked over and picked up the saber and scabbard, then put the sword into the sheath and plunged it into the ground.
Then, Qingcheng walked towards Shangquan Shinxuan, looked at his remains, folded his hands, said a few words silently, and then lifted his luck, raised his right foot and slammed on the ground, causing the ground under his feet to gradually crack. There was also a crack affected by the strength of his feet, which spread from under his feet to the Shangquan Xinxuan.
Qingcheng exerted force on his feet, stepped on the ground again, and the fierce and domineering strength of King Kong's legs rushed straight out, causing the ground under Shangquan Shingen to crack, and finally collapsed. And Kamiizumi Shingen is located in it, and it looks like a tomb prepared for him by Qingcheng.
After making the tomb, Qingcheng searched around and found a boulder. He saw that the boulder was about two people's length and one person's width, so he nodded with a little satisfaction, and then carried the electric brilliance to shine ten successes, and the electric power in his palm was dense, and the power was terrifying. Then he jumped up in the air with his feet in a volley, raised his right arm high and opened his five fingers, towards the top of the boulder, and made a move of wind and thunder palm. The five thunderbolts hit the top hard.
Qingcheng's five thunders under the success of one move and ten successes are strong, and the strength of the palm is so strong that it is easy to open the mountain and rubble, and it is difficult for non-first-class masters to take it. I saw that after his palm fell, the top of the boulder cracked inch by inch, and the crack went down and spread to the bottom.
"Boom!"
Qingcheng fell to the ground, only to hear a roar, and the boulder shattered and scattered all over the ground.
"It is the Haichuan Imperial Court that should be shocked by my great qi, but not the entire Haichuan. The people are innocent, the martial arts are helpless, Shangquan Shingen represents the hope of the Haichuan warriors, so killing him will only deter the Haichuan court from losing a general, but the Haichuan martial arts will be hit hard. In this case, I will be deterred, but for the last wish of the Martial Arts Grandmaster, I, Duan Qingcheng, am also willing to help you. β
Qingcheng buried Shangquan Xinxuan with gravel, piled him into a stone tomb, and found a slightly slender gravel, facing the direction of Haichuan, inserted into the ground next to the stone tomb, and then the sword finger came out, and the strength reached the fingertips, and carved four words on the stone with extraordinary finger force, "Tiancong Sword Saint".
After doing this, Qingcheng looked at the stone tomb of Shangquan Shingen, thinking that the person who was famous in Haichuan was already lying inside, and couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion.
"Kamiizumi Shingen, I agreed to your request, you can go with confidence. But what I am doing is the people of Haichuan and the swordsmen who don't discuss political affairs, but not the Haichuan court. Therefore, I will still do what I have to do. The scenery of this small island is good, I have no one living here, and I believe that no one will come to Haichuan in the future. You can live in peace, and no one will find out, let alone disturb you. I'll declare that we're going to have a duel that won't win or lose, and you're nowhere to be found. If I have a chance in the future, I will come to see you, so don't leave it at that. β
Qingcheng is kind-hearted, although he is a general, he is unwilling to kill a country and destroy hope. Because in his opinion, Haichuan's problem lies with the court, not the people. If Haichuan can defend himself in peace, Qingcheng will not want to wave his troops to attack and destroy his lives.
Qingcheng has been taught by his father since he was a child, and there is no distinction between high and low ethnic groups, and all people should live with dignity. The Great Qi is plotting for the world, and the Yunlong and Huchen are competing with each other, but they are just competing for the position of a co-master of the world. But this status brings with it a great responsibility, until the Quartet submits, the world is determined, and then all ethnic groups are under the jurisdiction of the Great Qi. Although Daqi has the identity of the master of Qiankun creation, it must seek benefits for these subject countries, so that the world can be stable and there will be no turmoil.
Therefore, although Qingcheng had the intention to suppress the bandits, and even pointed a sword at Haichuan, he couldn't bear to break the hope of the people of Haichuan. Qingcheng hopes that Haichuan will keep to himself, be sympathetic to the subject country, and the two sides will be peaceful. I hope that Haichuan will have aspiring men to practice martial arts diligently, and in the past few years, there will be another figure like the sword saint Shangquan Shinxuan. In short, what Qingcheng hopes for is that the world is stable, all ethnic groups are harmonious, although there is an attack, only for national affairs, one day, the Quartet will be determined, and there will be no war.
Qingcheng's idea is grandiose, but it also seems a little naΓ―ve. If you don't shock all ethnic groups, how can you make people surrender? Today, he left a glimmer of hope for Haichuan, and his future will only cause greater strife. It's just that it's not the right thing to do.
Qingcheng and Kamiizumi Shingen said goodbye, sighed lightly after sighing, and picked up the latter's sword and ran towards Thunder Shadow and Wind. A generation of Haichuan Sword Saints, in the end, only ended up with a simple stone tomb, although it was a little desolate, but Shangquan Shingen was indifferent to fame and fortune, and when he was dying, his last wish was fulfilled, and he should be able to look at it. It's a pity that in the future, when I came to visit him, Qingcheng was the only one in the world......
Speaking of Thunder Shadow and Hurricane, since Qingcheng and Shangquan Shingen left, under the command of the two, the Qi army completely defeated the remnants of Haichuan, resulting in only three or four hundred of Shangizumi's 30,000 elites. On the other hand, the Qi army, 10,000 elites also suffered about 3,000 casualties, which shows that Shangquan Shinxuan's way of using troops is indeed above his younger brother.
However, as he continued to rush and kill, Lei Ying suddenly realized that Fujiwara and Kamiizumi Nobuyoshi were gone, could it be that the two of them had died in the battle, and he didn't pay attention?
"Hurricane, do you see Kamizumi Nobuyoshi?"
Hearing Lei Ying ask about this person, the wind was stunned for a moment, then looked carefully in the formation for a long time, and then replied, "If you don't say it, I forgot it." During the battle just now, he suddenly ordered a retreat, and the Haichuan army ran towards the woods, thinking that there would be an ambush, but he didn't see anything clever. But now that I think about it, it seems that after we chased in, the two sides were even more confused, and then, and then this person was gone.
Listening to the description of the wind, Lei Ying calmed down and thought for a moment, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and after looking around, he hurriedly asked, "Have you seen Liang Xianxian?" β
"I saw it, not long after leaving, he said that it was time for Zhenhaihou and them to arrive, and he went to the shore to meet them."
Thunder Shadow seemed to be very concerned about Liang Feng's movements, so when he heard him leave, Thunder Shadow pondered for a moment and said, "I'll go to the shore too." The rest of these people are not to be feared, you quickly annihilate, and then go to meet the young master. Remember, be careful. β
"Don't worry, I understand."
With that, Thunder Shadow ordered a group of soldiers and ran towards the shore. At this moment, Liang Feng was indeed waiting for Zhenhaihou on the shore, and beside him was the Haichuan warship that was destroyed by the artillery brought by Qingcheng.
Countless warships were destroyed, and the sky was filled with black smoke, which was Qingcheng's signal to Zhenhaihou. After a short time, ships of great Qi gradually appeared on the sea level, Liang Feng raised his eyebrows in his eyes, and thought to himself: Hey, it's finally here......
