Chapter 36: The Day of Parting

When the time came to separate, he knew that he would leave Qingshuang City today and go to the Qingxu Sect to practice and see the outside world.

On this morning, the family had a hearty meal together, which was regarded as seeing off Li Xuan, Zhao Xuan'er and Wang Xiaopang.

Everyone was more or less reluctant, and the atmosphere was a little awkward, especially Li Qing'er, who was even more depressed, she was very dependent on Li Xuan, but she knew that her brother had his own way to go, and she couldn't delay her brother, so she could only watch the food quietly in a daze. Li Xuan saw it in his eyes, grabbed her favorite chicken wings, handed them to her, and smiled.

"Qing'er, have you forgotten our agreement, you want to eat more, eat more vegetables, and when you grow taller quickly, you can come to us." ”

Li Qing'er came back to her senses when she heard this, and after seeing Li Xuan's encouraging eyes, she nodded firmly.

"Well, don't worry, brother, I will definitely go to you. After saying that, he put away his sad emotions and began to eat.

Zhao Mingfeng looked at Li Xuan, and then asked.

"Xuan'er, are you going to see your father and say goodbye to him?"

Li Xuan put away his smile and nodded at Zhao Mingfeng, he was indeed going to go to Li Yunhai's tomb to say goodbye before leaving, this was also to tell Li Qing'er that he would take her to see her father.

"Well, that's time to make a break too. Zhao Mingfeng looked at the direction of Qingling City and said as if he was taking care of himself.

Li Xuan was a little confused when he heard this, he didn't understand Zhao Mingfeng's words, but seeing that Zhao Mingfeng didn't plan to say it, he didn't ask.

Outside Qingshuang City.

Li Xuan, Zhao Xuan'er and Wang Xiaopang, each carrying a burden, turned to look at the slightly cold city gate. Ever since the Battle of the Wolf Exterminator had been in the Blue Frost City, the towers and the soil had been dyed purple and black, and this area had even exuded an aura that made the demon beasts tremble.

These evil spirits are left behind after the death of tens of thousands of demon wolves of the green-haired wolf demon clan, highlighting the extraordinaryness of this small border city, as if reminding other demon beasts that those who dare to underestimate this city must pay the price of blood staining thousands of miles, this purple and black soil is dyed with blood by the besiegers.

The blood stains the earth, but the city is still alive, which is the best warning to outsiders. We don't have to show off, boast about anything, silent warnings, always better than feeble ostentaties, intimidation.

The three of them dismounted, faced Qingshuang City, and bent down to bow.

"Good boy, you have to go home more often in the future, this is your home. We, too, are your family. Shangguan Miao stood on the city tower and shouted at the three of them. Next to him, there were dense sergeants, soldiers, and civilians, all of whom waved and shouted at the three of them, and their eyes were more or less reluctant to give up on the three children.

Especially Li Xuan, these people shouted everything, some called the little hero, some called the little city lord, and some were kinder, which was also requested by Li Xuan, shouting Xiao Xuan, and they all shouted words like taking care.

They thanked and admired this teenager, and sincerely hoped that this teenager could succeed in his studies and would come back to protect them and lead them. Li Xuan's prestige in Qingshuang City was not even weaker than that of the city lord Zhao Mingfeng, because during the war, even Zhao Mingfeng was commanded by him, and these had nothing to do with strength, power and age.

but he took a fancy to his strategy and courage. He is everyone's brainchild, a commander who can live up to his trust and make people feel at ease, although he is still a teenager, but this trust, after successfully destroying the wolf, has reached a height that is almost blinding.

"Okay, all the elders, go back, I will come back to see you, and I won't forget you, Qingshuang City is my home. Li Xuan shouted at the people on the city tower, the tip of his nose was a little sour. Qingshuang City gave him a sense of home in this vast other world, and these people were like his relatives.

No matter how confused and difficult the future is, at least he will remember that here, he still has a home, and a group of relatives who trust him, he has a home, home, which makes him feel at ease.

After bowing to everyone for the last time, Li Xuan and the three of them turned over and got on their horses, nodded at Zhao Mingfeng, and the five of them rode straight to Qingling City. They were going to see Li Yunhai, and then they passed through Qingling City and headed to Qingxu Sect.

When he arrived at Qingling City, the sun was shining, and Li Xuan glanced at Qingling City. Now there is an army stationed in Qingling City, the purpose is to prevent demon beasts from taking the opportunity to cross Qingling City and enter the Qingyun Kingdom.

But just then, he saw a prisoner who was both familiar and strange. The reason why I say familiar is that I have this person in my memory, and I say that I am unfamiliar because he has never seen this person. This situation is somewhat contradictory, and it also makes Li Xuan feel as if he has not yet integrated into this world, as if he is an outsider, but the person watching is indeed himself, which is a bit weird.

And this prisoner is the main culprit who led to the fall of Qingling City - Ye Qinglin. If there was no him, the blue-haired wolf would not have been able to break through Qingling City so easily, and most of the people in Qingling City would have been able to escape, so it can be said that all this was due to his greed.

In the past two years, Zhao Mingfeng did not execute him, but imprisoned him in a temporary prison in Qingling City, let him feel the silence of Qingling City at night, let him look at the tragic situation of this dead city, let him hear the wind that seemed to cry and roar, and let him smell the smell of blood and decay that has not been dissipated in the past two years.

Zhao Mingfeng didn't have to worry that someone would come to rescue him, because it was impossible, no one would save this kind of ruthless and wolf-ambitious person. This dead city is telling everyone that the city died because of him, and people were destroyed because of him.

The person who rescued him, not only everyone in the world will be punished, even you yourself, there will be no peace, no one wants to follow a sinister white-eyed wolf, and it will be light to accidentally bite you.

Although he was not tortured, Ye Qinglin was already close to collapse, he would be panicked and frightened every night, and even wanted to bite his tongue and commit suicide several times, but he was rescued. To be able to make a timid person who is afraid of death do this, it is enough to show how terrifying the night in Qingling City is.

His life is in Zhao Mingfeng's hands, his life will disappear at any time, the coldness of Qingshuang City, strong guilt, self-blame, insecurity, fear, these are tormenting him all the time. As a result, he is now sleeping almost during the day, like a dead man, and at night, like a madman! These are the best punishments for Ye Qinglin.

When the troops stationed saw the arrival of Zhao Mingfeng and others, their faces were happy and respectful, and there was a trace of fear in the depths of their eyes. I am glad that I will be able to sleep peacefully in the future, and in the past two years, I can hear Ye Qinglin's movements when he is crazy every night, I don't know if he is a little confused by Ye Qinglin's nerves, and sometimes he can even hear a terrible cry, which makes the sergeants stationed here also a little uneasy and frightened.

Respect is naturally Zhao Mingfeng's identity, status, and the arrival of Li Xuan, a small military teacher, these two people are people they sincerely respect. Fear is naturally Zhao Mingfeng's means, and the punishment of the soul is countless times more ruthless than the punishment of the body, this is the fate of Ye Qinglin, and it is also the fate that the betrayer should have, these are silently reminding everyone.

Li Xuan and his three friends came to Li Yunhai's tomb and knelt down, Wang Xiaopang was on one knee, and Li Xuan's brothers and sisters and Zhao Xuan'er were on both knees. Li Xuan's brothers and sisters don't need to say much, it should be, but Zhao Xuan'er is Li Xuan's fiancée, that is, Li Yunhai's future daughter-in-law, and when she knelt down, she already admitted that Li Yunhai was her father-in-law.

Wang Xiaopang, under Li Xuan's inform, knew that Li Yunhai was the patriarch of this body, on the one hand, it was a gift to the elders, and more importantly, he was Li Xuan's late father.

Li Qing'er looked at her father's tombstone and cried, and Zhao Xuan'er on the side also had red eyes, and hugged Li Qing'er like a mother, letting her vent the pain and tears of losing her loved ones in her arms. Li Xuan lowered his head and was expressionless on the side, he thought of Zhao Mingfeng's words, knew what would happen next, and finally understood why Zhao Mingfeng wanted to say that everything was decided today.

Zhao Mingfeng grabbed Ye Qinglin and asked him to kneel in front of Li Yunhai's tomb. But at this time, Ye Qinglin laughed, but he laughed and laughed but shed tears, just like a madman, laughing and crying.

Everyone looked at Ye Qinglin angrily, and it was normal for Ye Qinglin to have this kind of emotion. He laughed that he was finally able to be freed, he cried for his life, he laughed at himself for ruining his life and everything in others because of his greed, he cried because he was ashamed of everyone here, as well as the dead Li Yunhai and Qingling City.

"Xuan'er, this is the weapon that followed your father all his life - the Qingguang Sword. I will return it to you today, you can use this sword to avenge your father and tens of thousands of people in Qingfrost City with your own hands, and use it to cut off all this. Zhao Mingfeng took the Qingguang Sword and handed it to Li Xuan.

Li Xuan raised his head and looked at Zhao Mingfeng's eyes, he saw expectations and encouragement in Zhao Mingfeng's eyes, and then looked at everyone present, they were also looking at him seriously, just like Zhao Mingfeng.

Only Wang Xiaopang, he has a different color in his eyes, because he knows Li Xuan's details, and he knows that this scene makes it difficult for Li Xuan to do. In the eyes of others, these may be as they should be, but he knows that Li Xuan can't say that he should take this sword, and Zhao Mingfeng may be more suitable. But he respected Li Xuan's idea and was also waiting for Li Xuan's decision, if Li Xuan didn't want to, he would definitely stop everyone.

Killing people is not the same as killing monsters. Demon beast, Li Xuan killed it with his own hands [with Wang Xiaopang], and there was no burden, just a beast slaughtered. But killing, although I have seen dead bodies all over the ground [First Look at Qingling City], I have also seen it on TV...... But this is completely different from killing with your own hands.

Li Xuan trembled all over, especially the arm stretched out towards the Qingguang Sword, he was scared...... It's human nature, and no one is ready to kill for the first time, even if you're a soldier who has been hardened into steel. Li Xuan used to live a very stable life, watching TV and the Internet every day, there were more or less murderous pictures, he could be calm, and he was also very calm, because he knew that these were basically false.

Today, it's finally his turn to do it himself, how can he not be afraid?
