Chapter 1232 Please Help Me, Madam

The moon is bright, the wind is clear, and the sound of pine waves is like the sound of nature.

The girl had a long sword hanging from her waist, which didn't fit her small figure, but she just wanted to carry it like that, along with a cotton package slung over her shoulder.

A little yellow dog followed her.

There was also a carriage and two old men traveling together.

Ximen Xuexian, the master of Jianshan Mountain, personally drove the carriage along the road, neither hurried nor slow, but very steadily.

Su Wan'er and Lian Xiexi walked together along the stream.

This official road enters Liuzhou and the capital.

Under the moonlit night, no one wanted to rest, for one thing, they were in a hurry to get on with their journey, and secondly, they had to send Yuan Ruxi in the carriage back to the capital as soon as possible to recuperate. However, they could not travel at full speed, so they had to travel day and night.

Even Xie Xi and Ximen Xuexian are not bothered by these.

Su Wan'er suffered the most, but along the way, the girl never complained, and only slept in the carriage when she was extremely sleepy.

They did not go to Yizhou, but went directly through the no-man's land into Dangxiang. The Dangxiang territory was flat and the horses were naturally the most suitable place to go.

Passing through the Dangxiang and entering the territory of Daxia is also the fastest and most direct route. Compared with going through Yizhou and Liuzhou, it basically saves nearly half the time.

Although they were blocked by the Dangxiang people on the way.

But one is the master of Tianzhi Pavilion, and the other is the master of Jianshan Mountain.

Unless the Dangxiang are determined to send a large army, they cannot be stopped.

Now, the news of the might of Daxia, Zhao Wuxiu of the Western Regions, Zong Ze of Mobei, Du Yu, and Li Xuance had already been sent to the Dangxiang tribes. Those Dangxiang tribes that had been wavering and wanted to surrender to Tubo had now sent their princes to Daxia and brought tribute that had not been paid for several years.

Naturally, they would not be stupid enough to stop the Daxia people from passing the Dangxiang.

The flowing water and the bright moonlight merge into one stream.

Lian Xie looked at the girl carrying a sword. The girl was only less than fourteen years old, but she was already a seventh-rank swordsman.

Rarely seen in the world.

Lian Xie was so surprised that he was speechless.

A battle in a no-man's land.

Yuan Ruxi single-handedly killed seven people, including the leader of the demon sect who was once among the top ten candidates in the world.

And now the strength of the demon leader is among the top ten in the world.

For more than ten years, he was ridiculed by the superficial people in the world.

One step to the end, one battle is amazing.

However, he gave up all the martial arts knowledge that was possessed by ten people in the world and gave the way to his disciple.

The sentence "The road is under your feet, don't look back, don't look down, just keep going."

Thank you, I still remember it vividly.

There are also heroes among Confucian scholars!

Yuan Ruxi, well-deserved!

Lian Xiexi looked at Su Wan'er and said, "A young girl's worries can easily disturb her state of mind, and it is even easier for her to lose the energy she gained from sword training."

Su Wan'er looked up at Lian Xie, nodded slightly, and lowered her head.

But after thinking for a moment, he looked up at Lian Xiexi and said with a smile, "I'm fine. Isn't Master safe? So..."

But when she said this, Su Wan'er glanced at the carriage and lowered her head again.

But Su Wan'er lowered her head, and Lian Xiexi reached out and pressed his hand on Su Wan'er's head: "Your master said, the great way is under your feet, don't bow your head, don't look back, just go! So, just go. Your master is alive and well, which is much better than anything else."

Su Wan'er looked up at Lian and thanked him, nodding vigorously, but as soon as she thought of her master, Su Wan'er's eyes became moist.

Why?

Why.

What am I.

These questions have been on Su Wan'er's mind these days. Without her, the master would be successful. Without her, the master would not be like this, and the meridians in one arm would not be broken, making him disabled.

Lian Xiexi sighed in his heart when he saw the child like this. The person who tied the bell must untie it. As long as Yuan Ruxi is not awake, the child's knot in his heart cannot be untied.

But despite having a knot in his heart, he was still able to break through to the seventh level in one fell swoop.

First of all, this is the sword that Yuan Ruxi has mastered, and there is also a reason for giving way.

Another reason is that this child is extremely talented.

After a moment's thought, Lian Xie said, "Wan'er, there are many masters in the world, all kinds of people. I know one. In the past, when it came to style and demeanor, only the Sword Immortal could surpass him. All the others, such as the old Sword Saint, Huang Chao, and the old Heavenly Master, all bowed down before him."

"When he accepted disciples, he never looked at talent, only at character. When I was young, I drank with him. At that time, a child wanted to enter his Miaoyin Palace. The child had great talent, but he rejected him."

"I asked him why this child wasn't very good. He said that the child had mocked the disciples of the Miaoyin Palace at the foot of the mountain, so he refused to accept him. And those children who were mocked actually had very poor talents. Many of them, even the orphans he adopted, later returned to the market and worked in various industries."

"One of the disciples returned to the market and worked as a porter. However, he accidentally offended the Demon Sect at the time. He traveled thousands of miles to support his disciple, fighting the Demon Sect alone with just his sword. In the end, he returned seriously injured, holding his disciple in his arms. Everyone thought he was crazy because that disciple couldn't practice martial arts and was no longer a member of Miaoyin Palace. And you risked your life for such a person."

"He said, 'He calls me Master, so I am his father.' He said that if the child did something wrong, it was because he failed to teach him well. But if the child was bullied and the world couldn't give him justice, he, as a father, would step forward and demand justice from the world."

Su Wan'er looked at Lian and thanked him.

Lian Xie looked at Su Wan'er and said, "Your master is the same. He and this person are both gentle gentlemen. When your master was wandering around the martial arts world, we old folks often compared him to them. Your master must have thought the same thing. Everything he did was to make you better. So don't act like a little girl. When your master wakes up and sees you crying and worried at such a young age, how will you explain it?"

Su Wan'er nodded, then said, "But I am the youngest daughter."

Lian Xie was a little speechless.

But when he heard Su Wan'er say this, he knew that the little girl had become cheerful. Even if she was pretending, it didn't matter. He couldn't just watch the little girl being depressed.

Su Wan'er looked at Lian Xie again and asked, "What was that senior's name? What happened next?"

Lian Xiexi smiled upon hearing this and said, "Qi Tian Chi Zhui, guarding the night until dawn. This was the man's reputation in the martial arts world at the time. It meant that in the then cannibalistic Great Xia, he was the one who guarded the morality and righteousness in the hearts of the people. His name was Su Qichi. At that time, there were two famous figures in the martial arts world: Yun Xianjian Wushuang and Su Qichi, the night watchman. But both of them left in a confused manner, disappearing inexplicably."

"If I'm lucky enough, I really want to have a drink with Su Qichi. If the four words 'like a spring breeze' didn't have an allusion, I would have suspected that they were created because of him."

…

There was no fanfare, and no Taoist priests or monks offering sacrifices or chanting scriptures.

The only one who had it was Su Changan who set a fire with his own hands and burned Yan Qi's body.

It was as if the old man had sensed it before he came, and specially left a letter for Su Changan.

The letter contained no other long-winded words, only telling Su Changan that he wanted to be cremated so that he could accompany his master's tablet. He wanted to be with his father.

Su Changan looked at the letter and agreed.

First meeting is forever farewell.

Su Changan was in a very low mood.

When helping the old man tidy up his clothes, Su Changan felt that he had not seen it with his own eyes, but he had more than a dozen hidden injuries.

Gongsun Chunv said that after the master left, they experienced the great battle with the Demon Sect. Although the Miaoyin Palace returned to peace afterwards, the other senior brothers with ultimate strength left one after another due to injuries.

Yan Qi was the only one who supported the school and everything left by his master. Yan Qi took on the responsibility alone.

Because Yan Qi said, "Miaoyin Palace cannot be recorded in history books because it collapsed due to Master's departure. He may be the one who was lost in my hands, but he cannot be the Master."

More than ten years later, Gongsun Chu's daughter and others arrived at the border one after another.

But Yan Qi's body was completely broken, but he was still holding on and looking for his master everywhere.

When Yan Qi's body was being burned, the old elders also arrived one after another.

The old Taoist priest took the wine and sat in front of the fire. He just said, "I thought you would come, so I went to see your master today. But I didn't go into the house. I just looked across the yard. I don't have the face to see him."

Then, he turned and left, rarely saying anything extra.

All the old seniors knew that the old Taoist priest was still brooding over the matter of Fengqi Valley, which is now Hongfeng Valley.

Especially Qingshuang, Changchun knew that for so many years, the master had always felt guilty towards Yan Qi and others.

Liu Xuer didn't say much, just stood quietly aside.

Su Changan felt uncomfortable, but no tears came out. He just watched Yan Qi's body burn silently.

Afterwards, he picked up the ashes and took the urn, and went to Yuqing Temple with Bai Danrong, Gongsun Chunv and others.

The abbot of Yuqing Temple welcomed him, but when it came to setting up the tablet, the old Taoist priest came in a Taoist robe. He presided over the ceremony and wrote the tablet for Yan Qi, which was placed below Su Qichi, in the same row with the tablets of Su Changan's parents and uncle.

After doing all this, everyone in Miaoyin Palace burst into tears, especially when looking at the tablets of Su Qichi and the master's family.

The sufferings of the world need not be spoken of, and cannot be spoken of.

Su Changan did not stay, but left quietly.

My heart ached a little because I thought of my mother and my brother.

I remembered that the first thing this uncle said when he saw me was "How are you?"

But soon, he passed away.

What Su Changan could never forget was the old man grabbing his sleeve and calling out "Master" softly in a daze.

It was as if I had been waiting for decades just to hear such a cry again.

Afterwards, the old man died with a smile on his face.

On the way back, Maomao and Kuyue looked at Su Changan without saying a word, as if it was the first time they saw Su Changan like this.

only

When I entered the palace and reached the corridor of Lingqi Pavilion,

I saw a dense crowd of officials kneeling on the ground. From Lingqi Pavilion to the entrance, there were at least dozens of people.

A small half of them were wearing crimson court robes of the fifth rank and above, while the others were all wearing green. Fortunately, there were no purple robes of the third rank and above.

When they saw Su Changan, these people looked at him and saluted as if they had found a savior.

"My Queen, help me."

"Please help me, my lady."

…

The sound never stops.

As Su Changan frowned at these people, he saw Aunt Sun jogging over.

Aunt Sun probably noticed that Su Changan looked uneasy, so she stepped forward to support him and then quickly asked, "My Lady, what's wrong with you?"

After saying that, he looked at Maomao.

Maomao shook his head: "I need to rest."

Su Changan waved his hand: "It's okay, what's the matter, aunt? Shouldn't everyone know that His Majesty is resting?"

Aunt Sun said to Ku Yue, "Please invite Mr. Zhang to Lingqi Pavilion."

Kuyue nodded, climbed over the wall and went to find Mr. Zhang again.

Aunt Sun said, "In Shen Yuanhao's mansion, we found a lot of things that officials had done in recent years. There are five large boxes full of evidence, witnesses, and records of where they were. These are the handles that Shen Yuanhao holds over them. These people know about this, so they have come to see you."
