Chapter 21 Choice
The sudden death of a city's county guard and general is not a small matter. Even King Guangyun cannot suppress it. It will alarm the imperial city, attract a detailed investigation by the secret guards, and even A great master will come here.
"Dad, why do you have to do this?"
Song Lingxue is a little hard to understand. The consequences of killing an official are too serious. This is a provocation to the imperial power.
“In the past years since Yuan Xingcai took office, I have given him countless benefits, but now I am adding insult to injury and seeking death.”
Song Tonghai kept moving his hands, completely ignoring the wounds on his body that were still bleeding, and his eyes were cold:
"Step back, step by step, in the end there is only a dead end, just make the matter bigger, and see you again and again." . ”
Only three grandmasters are here today, and next time, the great master may be here.
After killing the city lord, if the imperial envoy from the imperial capital really comes, then all the people in the martial arts world will cease their activities for a while.
No one will dare to commit crimes again. The consequences of provoking the imperial power of the Zhou Dynasty are not something that any grandmaster or even the great grandmaster can bear.
In this way, before the matter is found out, you can get a moment of respite and have the opportunity to arrange funeral arrangements.
"Obviously there is another choice."
Song Lingxue blocked the door and looked slightly gloomy: "Maybe King Guangyun..."
"Shut up!"< br>
Song Tonghai shouted angrily, rarely losing control of his emotions, and his tone became colder: "If you dare to make any arbitrary decisions, I will take away your surname Song, drive you out, and annihilate yourself before the tomb of your ancestors!"
< br>
"Who do you think those people today were ordered by?! Open your eyes and look at the people who died in the house today! How many uncles who used to be escorts for your father and me, are you worthy of them?!"
If there was still room for change before tonight, then from now on it will be a fight to the death.
Grandmasters are not people on the street. Now three of them appeared at once. If Zhao Yunheng didn't know about them at all, he wouldn't believe them.
Song Lingxue lowered her head and said nothing. After a while, she silently moved out of the way.
Song Tonghai walked slowly to Song Lingxue, reached out and touched her head, and sighed softly:
"Take out all the gold and silver left in the house, and let those who are willing to take the money go."
To put it bluntly, in the Song family today, only Song Tonghai and Song Lingxue are considered blood relatives. Most of Song Tonghai's two concubines and bodyguards only used money to do things, not to mention the servants and maids.
The family that has been inherited for more than three hundred years will eventually collapse after this battle.
“I know.”
Song Lingxue nodded and said, “I’ll wait for dad to come back.”
Wow——
Before he finished speaking, the door of the house opened wide, and Song Tonghai had disappeared.
Heavy snow is falling outside the house again, and the wind is howling, filled with a biting chill, biting the bones.

The next morning.
Before the Treasury.
Chu Zheng, who had just finished his Zhoutian tour, sat at the table, holding the freshly baked buns in his mouth, staring at the sun above his head, lost in thought.
Go or stay, this is a difficult decision.
"Are you full? Do you want to add more? If you want anything else, I will inform the kitchen to cook it for you."
Song Lingxue sat next to him, supporting her chin with one hand, her eyes curled up, and a smile seemed to be spreading out of her eyes.
Chu Zheng swallowed the bun in his mouth, shook his head, and sighed softly in his heart.
Song Lingxue’s attitude made him determined to run away.
Although Song Lingxue said last night that she wanted to free him, Chu Zheng couldn't do such a thing because she only wanted to escape for her own life due to a favor.
The most basic moral concepts are restraining him. He actually doesn't take life and death seriously.
People are bound to die, but whether death is valuable is another matter. Chu Zheng just didn't want to die too early. After all, the world he saw in his eyes was too small.
After finally traveling through another world and making no achievements, dying like this is a huge loss no matter how you think about it.
Maybe...
He can take Song Tonghai and Song Lingxue with him. He can run alone, but it doesn't seem to matter if there are a few more people.
The moment this idea came up, Chu Zheng shook his head. This was obviously not possible.
All the conflicts now are for Song Lingqing. Song Tonghai and Song Lingxue are at the center of the vortex.
Taking these two people away means they will be hunted down all the time. Things like last night will inevitably happen one after another.
It's only a matter of time before something goes wrong. The risk is too great and it's difficult to get out.
Thinking of last night, Chu Zheng suddenly felt a little confused. He seemed to have forgotten something.
Song Lingxue filled a bowl of soup, took a spoonful, and brought it to Chu Zheng's mouth: "This deer bone soup has been stewed for almost two hours. I specially told you not to waste it. Drink it after drinking it. It will be good for your body."
Chu Zheng was still thinking hard about what he had forgotten, when suddenly there was movement in the room.
Click——
Looking at the scene in front of him, Song Yunyi felt a little numb in his heart as he stood by the door. He heard a crisp sound in his ears, as if something had broken.
Looking at Song Yun staggering out of the room, Chu Zheng finally reacted, with a look of surprise on his face. He had completely forgotten about it.
The shock of the consecutive killings was still too much, and he forgot about Song Yun's existence for a while.
For a moment, Chu Zheng felt a little ashamed. Song Yun dragged his seriously injured body to save him, but he almost forgot about Song Yun and let him spend the night under the bed.
Looking at Chu Zheng, Song Yun was in a daze for a moment. The world was too cruel, and it made him once again look directly at the gap between people.
But the moment he turned his head and saw Song Lingxue, he felt that none of this... was important.
"Miss..."
Song Yun fell to his knees, covering his face and sobbing.
At least the eldest lady is still alive and the sky has not fallen.
The moment he woke up alone under the bed, he felt that the sky was about to fall. Now that he was experiencing such ups and downs, it was inevitable that he could not suppress his emotions.
"Song Yun?" Seeing Song Yun, Song Lingxue was startled: "Why are you here?"
Those people last night didn't even break through the middle courtyard, where Song Yun was , no outsiders entered, and it was always blocked.
Seeing Song Yun now, she was inevitably a little surprised.

…………
The governor of Luofeng City and the general guarding the city died, and their heads were hung in front of the city lord’s mansion.
This news soon spread throughout the city, causing huge panic, and everyone was in danger.
This has a completely different meaning from the heads hanging on the city tower the day before yesterday.
The Great Zhou Dynasty is the sky, and the officials are the herdsmen of Daitian. No matter how ferocious the evil heretics are, they will be captured and imprisoned by the government. This is the consensus of all the people before.
But now, the official is also dead.
For a time, in Luofeng City, the credibility of the Zhou government suffered an unparalleled blow and almost collapsed.
Less than a day after the news came out, people began to flee with their families and their families, heading towards the nearby city.
The news spread rapidly like the howling wind in the wild. In less than two days, it spread across tens of thousands of miles and reached the imperial capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
