Plum Blossom Tribulation Chapter Seventy-Six: Swing the Sword to Break the Evil Delusion
The news that General Huang had hanged himself at his home soon spread, shocking the entire Imperial City.
I heard that Mrs. Huang also committed suicide with General Huang the next day, leaving her only son, and the slave maid of the Huang Mansion lost her backbone and was dismissed by herself, and she has long since disappeared.
But General Huang's only son, for some reason, seems to have no news, as if he evaporated overnight.
Within a few days, such a major event soon spread to Mocheng and Hancheng, and naturally to the ears of the Huns.
After the Huns learned the news, they went south in one fell swoop and attacked vigorously, and the people of Zhao were even more slack, coupled with the sudden death of Huang Chizhong, but the Huns broke through the defense line in half a month, broke like a bamboo, and only forced the imperial city.
And the imperial city, which did not have many elite troops, hurriedly and forcibly arrested the people to serve as strong men, and indiscriminately filled the numbers. Just for the last battle of the trapped beasts.

A few days after General Huang's death
Before the Xiongnu broke through the Mobei defense line
Ink City
Away from the palace
Qianluo and Qianling's expressions were not good, and there seemed to be a cloud of sadness in their hearts, and Zhao Huaiyu had not heard the news at this time.
Liwang and Qingfeng were discussing in the hall.
"Now that General Huang has died suddenly, and the imperial city is in danger, Zhao Kang invites you to rescue him, can you think about whether to go or not?"
"So unclear about right and wrong, loyal and traitorous people, why should I help!" Liwang was also indignant in his heart.
"But if you lose even this imperial city, I'm afraid it will endanger Mocheng, and I'm afraid that it will be attacked on both sides." The breeze reminded again.
I only heard Mo Qi shouting outside the house: "Zhao Gongzi! ”
The two hurriedly opened the door, and saw that Zhao Gongzi was kneeling on the ground, spitting blood, his face was pale, his expression was a little trance, and after a heart-wrenching pain, he reluctantly said: "Huaiyu didn't mean to eavesdrop on the conversation between the two, but just vaguely heard Brother Qian, I don't know if Huaiyu heard it wrong." ”
Seeing that the two of them had heavy faces and didn't answer, Qingfeng motioned to Mo Qi to pull Huaiyu down, Mo Qi was also clever, and hurriedly said: "It turns out that Zhao Gongzi is here, I said where did I go, Zhao Gongzi should go back to drink medicine." ”
Zhao Huaiyu glanced at Liwang and Qingfeng again, waiting for their answers, but the two still didn't answer, Qingfeng only said to Mo Qi: "Let Ah Lu take good care of Zhao Gongzi." ”
Mo Qi pulled Zhao Huaiyu, Zhao Huaiyu still couldn't afford it, knelt on the ground for a long time, looked at the expressions of Liwang and Qingfeng, and then slowly spoke: "Understood, Huaiyu understood." After saying that, he got up, his body was weak at this time, he walked swaying, the soles of his feet felt soft, and he didn't know how to walk the road ahead, but he felt that his heart was more depressed and painful, which made him breathless.
"I didn't expect that last month's farewell turned out to be goodbye!" Zhao Huaiyu muttered to himself, "I should have listened to the words of the thousand guards and went to the Yellow Mansion to visit again, but now I don't have a chance anymore." After all, the feeling of shame and guilt pierced the heart like a sword. Something was tripped under his feet and he fell, even if Mo Qi supported him, he couldn't parry, and the two fell to the ground together.
Zhao Huaiyu didn't seem to feel it, stood up and continued to move forward, at this time, Qianlu saw it, suddenly appeared, followed behind Zhao Huaiyu, facing such Zhao Huaiyu, Mo Qi was at a loss.
I saw Zhao Huaiyu before, graceful and chic, but now he is so lost and depressed, if the two of them.
"The Thousand Guards already knew the news." Zhao Huaiyu still muttered to himself, saying that he was conscious, but his expression was demented; But if he said that he was not sober, he knew that Qianlu was following behind him by the breath of one person.
"Big brother's revenge will be avenged sooner or later!" Qianlu gritted his teeth as he spoke, anger churning in his chest.
"Yes." Zhao Huaiyu echoed casually, his eyes were hollow, as if he had fallen into a bottomless deep pool.
Qianlu suddenly punched Zhao Huaiyu from behind, Zhao Huaiyu fell to the ground with a stumble, Qianlu still didn't give up, grabbed the other party's collar, and punched Zhao Huaiyu down a few times, beating Zhao Huaiyu to a blue nose and swollen face.
While slapping his mouth, he said: "It's all you, why did you stop it in the first place, if not, I can still see my eldest brother for the last time!" Why do you hinder it? Why block? Qianlu scolded hysterically, his face flushed, and the green tendons on his arms burst out.
Mo Qi wanted to stop it, but Qianling had already passed, pulled Qianling, and went up with a punch, Qianling saw that Qianling was like this, and he couldn't care about anything else, and the two actually fought, making the palace smoky.
Zhao Huaiyu only lay on the ground, as if he had been beaten by a thousand spirits, watching the two fight, and he was silent.
Mo Qi had no choice but to move the rescuers, and before he could run a few steps, he crashed into Liwang's arms.
The king put her behind him, and saw the two fighting endlessly in the air, and the sword aura was awe-inspiring, and he even flew up in the air, and kicked the two of them down with two feet.
Qianlu and Qianling saw that they were leaving the king, and they didn't dare to make a mistake, so they stood in place, didn't say a word, lowered their heads, and Qianling's face was full of disbelief.
"My two guards are like this, what kind of system do they become?" Liwang's face suddenly fell, and there was anger in his red eyes: "Get out of the palace!" ”
The two looked at each other, didn't speak, just nodded, and left.
At this time, there was a sudden cry from behind, and the sound became louder and louder, and I saw Shi Xin walking out from behind a stone, and shouted in his mouth: "Brothers are fighting, Shi Xin is afraid!" ”
At this time, Shi Xin didn't know which brother to go to for comfort, stretched out his two hands, looked left and right, and saw that everyone looked bad and was not easy to provoke, so he wiped his tears and said aggrievedly: "Shi Xin is scared and wants to hug." ”
Seeing that King Liwang glanced at Shi Xin at this time, Shi Xin walked over tentatively with grievances, hugged King Li, and said, "Big brother, don't be angry!" Stone heart gives you a hug! ”
Mo Qi lightly called Shi Xin to pull him away, and the two of them helped Zhao Huaiyu up and left. Mo Qi was shocked to find that Zhao Huaiyu's face was pale, his body was as if he was immersed in ice water, and his whole body was cold.
On the question of whether to help the imperial city, the king has not expressed his position.
====
Qian Ling and Qian Yu were scolded by Wang Yi, and both of them left the palace, rushed to the imperial city as fast as possible, and came to the Yellow Mansion, but it was only a few days before the Yellow Mansion was deserted, as if it had been defeated for several years. The things in the courtyard were messy as if they had been robbed, and the servants had long since forgotten their whereabouts.
Perhaps no one will ever remember the beauty of this old day, and remember that there was once a general here.
Now even the bodies of General Huang and his wife heard that the surrounding neighbors had scraped together some silver taels, and they were hurriedly buried, and the two quickly inquired about the location of Brother Qian's burial, and in front of his grave, no one said a word, but their eyes were covered with a faint veil, and they couldn't see everything in front of them clearly.
The flowers in front of the grave are still bright, as if someone has visited.
Some people say that they saw someone go in the backyard of the Yellow Mansion at night, and some people say that they seem to see two black shadows wandering in the Yellow Mansion at night.
The two of them inquired in the imperial city for two or three days, and finally had some eyebrows, those who killed Brother Qian, they would finally let those Xiaoxiao know the price of killing people.
I'm afraid that even those who are young may not take into account that although Huang Chizhong has lost his identity as a general, he is also a disciple of a thousand families. Although the court has lost its name, the identity of the rivers and lakes still exists.
Twilight, the evening breeze rises, a house, there is no light, the twilight night is mixed with the ghostly wind, full of desolation, as if there is no life at all, giving people a gloomy feeling.
The two sneaked into the lobby, but saw that the person they wanted to find was lying on the desk and asleep, Qian Ling quietly approached, and the sword on his waist was slowly pulled out, exuding a faint cold light, wanting to swing the sword to cut off the evil and delusional.
When Qian Ling got closer, he found a trace of blood under the man's body, it was really difficult to find it in this dim place if he was not careful, Qian Ling quickly touched the man with his sword, but found that the man's face was black, his expression was hideous, he had already lost his breath, and he should have been dead for a while.
At this time, Qianlu suddenly rushed to the outer courtyard, only to hear the sword light, Qianling also rushed out in time, and saw that Qianlu and Qianyu had stopped fighting, but their bodies leaned forward slightly, looking at each other vigilantly.
"Why are you here?" Qian Ling was puzzled, and Qian Yu didn't seem to expect the two of them to be here.
"Big brother can come, why can't I?" Qian Yu put away the short sword and restrained his anger, and Qian Yu also relaxed at this time, moved the sword behind his back, and looked at the two of them.
"What about the people here?" Qian Ling continued to ask.
"Dead." Qian Yu said indifferently, as if all this had been expected by him, and as if the death of these people was his doing.
"You killed their whole family?" Qianlu seemed to be a little surprised, but there was a glimmer of light in his eyes; At the same time, Qian Ling also kept looking at Qian Yu, indeed with more doubts.
"Really? I thought it was the eldest brother who killed it! Qian Yu sneered, a rhetorical question that denied the answer, but it didn't seem to be a joke.
"If it's not you, who would do that?" Qian Ling seemed to question, except for the three disciples of the Thousand Family who were relatively close to the Imperial City, the rest were ......, Qian Ling really didn't dare to think that there were only six people who had been cultivating with Qian Zhenren for a period of time at that time, and the remaining three He really hadn't heard of them, and he probably wouldn't have seen Brother Qian.
"I'm not the only disciple of a thousand families, how can I know?" Qian Yu said as if he was angry, but after speaking, Ben's casual expression suddenly became serious.
Qian Ling and Qian Ling looked at each other, and they all thought, who else would come to this imperial city?
At this time, Qianlu suddenly remembered the two people he had seen before, and the feeling seemed familiar, and now that he thought about it, it might really be them.
The three of them glanced at each other, and said at the same time: "Borrow the corpse to return the soul!" ”
"It's really them." Qianlu continued, his eyes like surprise, loss, resentment, and nostalgia.
"How could they be so kind?" Although Qian Yu also guessed, he still sneered, and now that he thought back on many things, it seemed that only they could string all of them together in a line.
Qian Yu's expression suddenly darkened, frowning, and couldn't help but ask himself, "Why would they avenge Brother Qian?" ”
