When Wei Mingcheng led the city's defenders to fight out, they found that Canglang City's 50,000-strong army had already retreated sadly and gradually disappeared at the end of the horizon.
Wei Mingcheng came to Su Hong, dismounted directly, knelt down on one knee, clasped his fists and said: "Thank you, general, for coming to help. I am here to serve Wei Mingcheng, the deputy general of Jian'an City."
Su Hong dismounted, stretched out his arms to help Wei Mingcheng up, and said, "Su Hong is just a commoner, and he is not worthy of such a courtesy from a general."
"May I ask what the relationship between the general and Duke Wu Ding is?" Although Wei Mingcheng had vaguely guessed it, he still asked.
"Su Mu, he's my father."
Wei Mingcheng nodded.
If this were not the case, I am afraid that no one in the world would be able to command the Black Armor Cavalry and make this iron-blooded army follow them willingly.
"Brother, this is Zhao Qian's head. Take it to pay homage to your parents. They can rest in peace." Su Zimo came over and handed the head on his waist to Su Hong.
Su Hong took the head of King Yan and looked at Su Zimo. For a moment, he had mixed feelings in his heart.
After sixteen years of forbearance and sixteen years of conspiracy, I never expected that in the end, the blood feud of the Su family would still fall on the shoulders of my younger brother.
Although Su Zimo didn't mention a word about the battle of the royal city from beginning to end.
But looking at the fatigue on Su Zimo's eyebrows and the blood stains on his body, Su Hong could also guess that this trip to the royal city must have gone through a fierce battle and a narrow escape.
"The king is really dead?"
Wei Mingcheng looked at King Yan's head and murmured softly. A flash of light suddenly flashed in his eyes. He looked at Su Hong and said solemnly: "General Su, since King Yan is dead, I am willing to assist the general in proclaiming himself king in Jian'an City and fight back." Wangcheng, please restore Wu Dinggong’s innocence!”
Although the tragedy of sixteen years ago had been suppressed by King Yan, many soldiers did not believe that Su Mu would rebel.
With Su Mu's influence and status at that time, there were too many opportunities to rebel and become king.
When Uncle Zheng and others heard this, their hearts moved.
If you want to become the king, now is the best time. King Yan is dead and the Yan country is in chaos. Su Hong has at least accumulated a lot of reputation in Jian'an City by virtue of this battle.
After becoming the king, Su Hongliang revealed his identity. With Wu Dinggong's influence back then, there will definitely be people in the sixteen cities of the Yan Kingdom who sincerely join him, and it is not impossible to unify the Yan Kingdom!
Thinking of this, Uncle Zheng whispered: "My eldest son, this opportunity is once in a lifetime."
Liu Yu and the others also looked at Su Hong expectantly, waiting for a reply.
Su Zimo did not express his position. No matter what his eldest brother decided, he would support it unconditionally.
After a brief silence, Su Hong smiled, shook his head and said, "Thank you for your love, but I, Su Hong, don't have that ambition, so I let everyone down."
Uncle Zheng and others' eyes dimmed.
"General Su..." Wei Mingcheng wanted to persuade him again, but was interrupted by Su Hong with a wave of his hand.
Su Hong said: "When the war breaks out, the only people who suffer are the innocent people of Yan State. By then, I don't know how many people will be displaced and their families will be destroyed. As Zimo said, if you sacrifice innocent people to satisfy your own ambitions, I will What's the difference between him and Na Luo Tianwu?"
After a pause, Su Hong clasped his fists at Wei Mingcheng and said, "General Wei, I have to return to Pingyang Town to pay homage to my parents. Let's say goodbye."
After saying that, Su Hong got on his horse and headed towards Pingyang Town with 5,000 black armor cavalry.
Wei Mingcheng and many soldiers watched Su Hong's leaving figure for a long time.
…
Pingyang Town, the backyard of the Su family.
Su Hong, Su Zimo, and Su Xiaoning knelt in front of a tomb, with the head of King Yan placed not far in front.
Su Xiaoning had already burst into tears.
Su Hong also shed tears on his clothes.
In these years, Su Zimo has never seen his eldest brother cry.
Even if the assassination of King Yan failed that day, Su Hong was only in low spirits, but did not shed a single tear.
Now that the great revenge has been avenged, the hatred and resentment accumulated in Su Hong's heart for sixteen years was released in an instant, making it difficult to control himself.
Su Zimo did not shed any tears. After kneeling for a while, he quietly stood up, left the Su Mansion, and returned to the practice field immediately.
After entering, Su Zimo's eyes flashed with disappointment.
The practice field was empty, Dieyue was not there.
Su Zimo stood there for a long time, took a deep breath, seemed to have made some decision, turned back again, came to the backyard of the Su Mansion, winked at Song Qi, turned and walked outside.
Song Qi noticed it and quickly chased him out.
"Second Young Master, what do you have to explain?" Song Qi asked in a low voice.
Su Zimo was silent for a while, took out a golden token from his arms, handed it over, and said, "This is the Tianbao Golden Token."
Song Qi was startled.
The Tianbao Golden Order is too far away for him!
Many Qi practitioners may not be able to obtain a Heavenly Treasure Bronze Order until their death after practicing for a lifetime, let alone a Heavenly Treasure Gold Order that is two levels higher.
"Second Young Master, what does this mean?" Song Qi asked quickly.
Su Zimo said in a deep voice: "When my eldest brother and the others have finished their worship, you will take everyone in the Su family to Canglang City and hide in Tianbao Pavilion for a while. Don't come out! As for the five thousand mysterious armored cavalry, let them Break it into parts and disperse first, don’t get together.”
Song Qi had never seen Su Zimo's expression so solemn and his tone so low.
Song Qi felt uneasy and asked again: "Second Young Master, what happened? Is there any other powerful enemy of the Su family?"
"In the royal city, I killed several Qi practitioners and offended a sect. It won't be long before the sect will find this place."
Su Zimo did not choose to hide it.
The biggest reason why he was able to escape from the royal city was because there were no foundation-building monks from the Huanxi Sect in the royal city.
How could the Huanxi Sect just give up after suffering such a big loss? I'm afraid there are foundation-building monks who have already rushed towards Pingyang Town, and they are on the way now!
Song Qi also realized the horror of this matter.
Once a mortal offends the Cultivation Sect, he or she will die in the least case, or in the worst case, the whole family will be harmed!
"Second Young Master, where are you going? Wouldn't it be better for you to go to Tianbao Pavilion with us and hide away for a while?" Song Qi asked again.
Su Zimo was silent.
Song Qi's heart sank, and he suddenly thought of a possibility, and exclaimed: "You, you are not going to intercept the foundation-building monks of the Xiuzhen Sect, are you?"
Su Zimo said softly: "If I don't die, that cultivation sect will not give up. The Su family cannot hide in Tianbao Pavilion for a lifetime. Once the Su family members show up, they will be hunted down and no one can escape."
"What's more, seven days have passed since the death of King Yan, and the Foundation Establishment monks are probably on their way. If no one stops them, the Su family will definitely be chased before they can reach Tianbao Pavilion in Canglang City. superior."
"But, Second Young Master..."
"Brother Song, don't look so sad. I may not die. I might wipe out that sect." Su Zimo smiled and said pretending to be relaxed.
Song Qi sighed in his heart and couldn't say any more.
Song Qi knew very well that Su Zimo's decision was correct, but he was using his own life to save the lives of everyone in the Su family!
Intercepting the foundation-building monks will result in death and no life.
Su Zimo had absolutely no hope of survival.
Su Zimo took out a storage bag from his arms. He took it from a one-armed Qi practitioner, stuffed it into Song Qi's hand, patted his shoulder, and whispered: "The Su family...leave it to you. ”
After saying that, Su Zimo turned and left.
There was snow in the sky.
This is the first snow in early winter.
