Chapter – 135 Innocence achieved
Tang Guan, Seven Grand Canyons.
This place had already beco a resting place for several fallen soldiers from both the Mongolian Kingdom and the Tang Kingdom. The smallest first canyon was riddled with countless corpses and appeared like an open mass grave.
Long Yu and Feng Longsong were pacing in this snow-covered land, carrying the Old General’s severed head toward its intended fate.
Although Old General Man Yi had been killed by Yu Qianning, now his severed head was in their hands.
According to the regulations of Tang Kingdom, now this credit fully went to Feng Longsong and Long Yu.
“I don’t sense anyone in the canyon.”
Long Yu sensed that the canyon felt very cold and bleak. He did not sense the aura of any living creature in the surrounding area, making him have so doubts.
The Tang Kingdom would usually send so patrolling teams in the canyon, but there was no one to be seen.
“As you say, Man Xin’s troops had surrounded Long Ji, right? What happened after that?”
Feng Longsong frowned and tried to make a speculation.
“Anyway, we will eventually find out about all that.”
Long Yu was carefully observing the surrounding area, after all, they were passing the canyons, among which the third canyon was the least dangerous one because the terrain was smooth. If there was an ambush, then he could easily discover it.
Soon, the Tang Guan Fort city appeared in sight but the city gate was shut tight. Only on the top of the city wall, several sentry post towers could be seen well constructed in a sequential manner and many Tang soldiers were on lookout duty.
The guards were alard the mont they saw Long Yu and Feng Longsong.
Long Yu was a wanted man with the charge of treason upon him, moreover, he was wearing a battle armor of Mongolian army!
“Get ready! Prepare your bows and arrows!”
A military chief imdiately clamored out loud with a fanatical look flashing in his eyes.
Not long ago, Major General Long Ji returned to Tang Guan Fort and declared Long Yu a traitor. He also gave the order of kill on sight!
This military chief was considering himself lucky because he never imagined that a traitor would appear like this right in front of his eyes.
If he was able to kill Long Yu then wouldn’t that be wonderful for his military career and also increase his chances of becoming familiar with Major General Long Ji?
However, just when the soldiers were preparing to shoot the arrows, Long Yu snorted loudly.
He raised the severed head of the Old General and shouted aloud: “Listen all of you, keep your eyes open to see clearly. This is the severed head of Mongolian Army’s Old General Man Yi. Now, hurry up and open the gate!”
As soon as he said that, the chief was startled all of a sudden.
Mongolian Kingdom’s Old General Man Yu!
Who would not know the na of such a war veteran from the decade-old war of Three Kingdoms?
Although later on his cultivation was injured by Chu Chao Sheng, he still continued to give nightmares to his enemies.
Several guards had their parents massacred by Man Yi in the last war!
It could be said that Old General was considered quite a frightening enemy big shot in the Tang Kingdom, and Long Yu had appeared in front of their eyes with his severed head!
“Shouldn’t we open the gate?”
The guards were confused as to what they must do now.
An accused traitor was carrying the enemy commander’s head. This was really a bizarre scene.
Could it be that Long Yu was disguising as a traitor in order to get close to the enemy?
“Go and report this to the Major General.”
The chief guard knew that he was not competent enough to take a decision in this situation. It was now necessary to report this matter to the Major General Long Ji.
Although Long Ji was seriously injured and had ordered not to allow anyone to disturb him, but this was a serious matter and Major General might actually care to find out more about it.
“It’s a command from Major General Long Ji, open the gate!”
Soon, the ssenger ca back with a ssage.
“Open the gate.”
Of course, the guards did not dare to go against Long Ji’s order and opened the gate.
Tang Guan Fort’s tightly closed gate finally opened.
Long Yu saw a familiar figure as soon as the gate opened. It was a man in tight black clothes, waiting on the other side of the gate to greet him!
“Nice to see you, Brother Bu!”
Long Yu greeted.
“Haha, you are back, brother.”
Bu Xing laughed and said: “Even though I know you will not let down, but did not think that you would actually bring the enemy commander’s head back. You have really surprised .”
Long Yu did not say anything and went inside with Feng Longsong.
Long Yu greeted Bu Xing and noticed that there a sowhat bleak atmosphere spread in the entire Tang Guan.
Long Yu arrived next to Bu Xing and asked in a low voice: “Brother Bu, what has happened here in my absence? How is Long Ji?”
Bu Xing smiled and said: “Long Ji was seriously injured in the enemy seize and is undergoing closed door recuperation. Under the prohibition rule, no one is allowed to go out.”
I see, so Long Ji was seriously injured!
Long Yu’s complexion changed for good when he heard this news.
So it seed like Major General Man Xin indeed had extraordinary talent, not just as a commander of troops, but also as a martial artist, perhaps even higher than Long Ji.
It was only a pity that even after all that, he was unable to stop his father’s assassination!
“What’s his condition? Is his cultivation intact?”
Long Yu showed a faint smile and asked.
If he lost his cultivation, it would naturally be a good news for Long Yu!
“His cultivation was not affected but his Zhenling blood dragon was defeat. In fact, he would have lost his own life there if Pond Snow (Chi Xue) had not arrived in ti with backup.”
Bu Xing shook his head and said.
Pond Snow?
Long Yu heard the na and could not help but think of the middle-aged leader of country warriors that were stopped near the Tang Guan’s gate and weren’t allowed to participate in war!
Long Yu never thought that Pond Snow would mobilize his n to rescue Long Ji. Perhaps, even Long Ji never would have imagined that sothing like this could happen!
“Long Ji is not dead and that’s a good thing for , his life is for to take it personally.”
Long Yu thought.
He was not the type of person who would depend on other people to take down his opponents. In order to defeat formidable opponents, he just needed to level up and reach higher layers of Zhenling!
He would set up goals and beat them one at a ti then his heart would be more stable to give full focus on martial arts practice!
“Right, Brother Bu, I wonder if you have seen Yu Qianning?”
Long Yu thought of sothing, suddenly asked.
“She ca to Tang Guan.”
Bu Xing said in a stern voice: “However, she just said that you are a traitor then left. I do not know where she went.”
“Brother Bu, did you notice that she is already at Zhenling fourth layer?”
Long Yu frowned and asked.
“What?”
Bu Xing gawked for a mont.
Zhenling fourth layer?
How could this be possible!
“Has she not recently entered the Zhenling first layer?”
Bu Xing subconsciously asked.
Long Yu imdiately knew that she had a certain thod to hide her own level!
Then, Long Yu briefly explained what had happened in Mongolian army camp.
Of course, he didn’t ntion anything about his parents because there was no need for that.
“So, she turned out to be the one who assassinated Old General Man Yi…… However, since his head is in your possession then you will get the credit for the assassination, in accordance with the national law of Tang Kingdom.”
Bu Xing further said: “Having said that, in the seven sect competition, she will be my biggest opponent.”
Long Yu did not tell about the hidden treasure trove to Bu Xing.
He was prepared to go alone to that place because it was too dangerous, even for Bu Xing, to go there. Falling into the hands of that Mongolian prince was a dead end!
“Since the war has ended, I will return to Yu Guan City with my foster father.”
Long Yu said.
“Do not be in such a rush.”
Bu Xing smiled and said: “You have done a great deed and deserve an equally great reward. Pond Snow is also getting rewarded three days from now.”
Pond Snow obviously did a great job of saving the Major General.
Similarly, Long Yu had also done a great job by bringing the head of the enemy commander!
Originally, Long Yu had also planned how to beat Yu Qianning in an argunt over who assassinated the Old General after eting her here, but she did not stay in Tang Guan, making things easier for him.
“Isn’t this the best ti to seize Hidden Heavenly Thunder Reservoir?”
Long Yu thought and was quite optimistic about it!
However, he did not hit the road imdiately and decided to rest for three days to check out the military award he was going to get.
……
For the next three days spent in Tang Guan, Long Yu focused entirely on practice the best grade spiritual level skill, Awakening Palm Samsara while simultaneously familiarizing with the perception and sensibility of the half chunk of Heavenly Lunar Tablet.
And during this ti, the news about Long Yu bringing back Man Yi’s head spread throughout Tang Guan, reaching the ears of 100,000 soldiers.
In this way, no matter what, no one could now dare to treat him like a traitor!
And the initial charge of treason put on him by Long Ji for colluding with enemy generals, was also washed off when Bu Xing publicly released the recorded Zhenling imprint of that battle scene to everyone.
The entire Tang Guan army had co regard Long Yu as a hero!
The injured Long Ji could not stop this perception about Long Yu from escalating!
He just issued an order to give a reward to Long Yu according to his rit.
This not just proved his innocence in front of everyone, but also turned him into a heroic figure for countless soldiers!
The far-reaching effects of this were more than enough to make Long Yu feel sowhat grateful toward the Old General.
“Old General Man Yi, I assure you, not just for you but also for myself, soday I will kill that Chu Chao Sheng!”
Long Yu made this resolution in his heart!
And three days later, a General Assembly took place to reward the ritorious people.
Major General Long Ji was seriously injured and was unable to attend the reward ceremony. So the bald senior general took the chair instead.
In the biggest square of Tang Guan Fort City, Old General Man Yi’s head was hung on the highest point to show the entire army, and to several people concentrated in the square to receive rewards according to their respective rits!
The war temporarily ca to an end, and the greatest rit went to Pond Snow for saving Long Ji and to Long Yu for bringing back the enemy commander’s head.
Everyone was discussing among themselves and was curious to know the rewards that were prepared for the two?
“Old General, please bear this humiliation for a while. I will take you away from here and return you to your holand.”
Long Yu was standing in front of the crowd, as he raised his head and looked at the Old General’s head with a burning look in his eyes, brimming with confidence!
Yes, Man Yi had already won the respect of Long Yu!
Right now, his focus was not at all on the reward he was going to get soon, but on the treasure hidden in Hidden Heavenly Thunder Reservoir, as well as on the Old General’s head that kept reminding him of the promise he made to him!
