Chapter 165 Return of Carriage
Liu Ziwen and other surviving warriors looked at Song Changming on the corpse mountain in a daze, with expressions full of awe.
These two thousand cavalrymen, if Song Changming had not been there, they would have been completely annihilated.
God knows how many people Song Changming just killed.
Not only was the most powerful flying general killed by Song Changming cleanly, but even the more powerful generals fell under Song Changming's dragon-patterned sword.
Song Changming seemed to have accomplished this by capturing the enemy general's head among thousands of troops.
In addition to Song Changming's powerful killing of the enemy, the key point for them to be able to block this wave of cavalry was to rely on the favorable terrain of the mountain path to prevent these cavalry from charging back and forth.
Song Changming sheathed his sword and without much delay, headed straight towards the direction the carriage was running away from.
At a fork in the road downhill, there were more corpses of cavalry on the ground, which made Song Changming's expression change slightly.
Then he saw several overturned carriages, and he felt even more impatient.
The killing intent that had just subsided boiled over again.
If something goes wrong with the elders or others in the family, it will be difficult for him to control the violent emotions in his heart.
Song Changming speeded up, and the number of cavalry corpses on the ground gradually increased along the way. After the horses ran for about another kilometer, Song Changming finally saw a familiar figure.
Liu Dingsheng was sitting cross-legged on a large stone, as if he was resting and on guard. There were several guards staying below.
After seeing Song Changming, Liu Ziwen and others riding back one after another, the guards breathed a sigh of relief and felt relieved.
"Mr. Liu, how is the situation?" Song Changming asked.
He could tell that Liu Dingsheng was also taking action this time.
Being able to force the very old Liu Dingsheng to take action is enough to show that the team has just experienced a lot of twists and turns.
"Everyone else is fine, but your father was frightened and passed out. The situation is not optimistic now." Liu Dingsheng sighed.
When Song Changming heard about it, he immediately went behind the big stone and saw Song Pingan holding Song's father in his arms and taking his pulse.
Song's mother and Song Yu beside them both had sad faces and were extremely worried.
Seeing Song Changming come back, Song's mother looked a little stunned, then shook her head and said bitterly: "I'm afraid your father won't be able to survive this time."
Song Changming felt extremely heavy when he heard this.
Although he had already seen that Song's father's death was approaching half a year ago, he had also prepared himself mentally early.
Convince yourself that birth, old age, sickness and death are human nature.
But when a relative he had been with for so many years really passed away in front of his eyes, he still felt uncomfortable.
"Brother Song, I'm sorry." Song Ping'an felt his father's gradually weakening pulse and blamed himself extremely.
He was already trying his best to protect the safety of his two elders, but in the end Song's father was unable to survive.
Naturally, Song Changming would not blame Song Ping'an.
At this time, Song's father's energy and blood suddenly became rosy, and he woke up slowly.
He seemed to know that he didn't have much time, so he first looked at Song Yudao.
"Take good care of yourself and your children, and don't let yourself be wronged because of your husband's family. Chang Ming is very capable now and can support you. You two are relatives after all."
Song Yu responded one by one with tears in her eyes.
Song's father's tone at this time was to explain the funeral arrangements and to say goodbye to all his relatives.
Together with Song Yu, Song Pingan finished speaking and held Song's mother's hand.
"The thing I am most ashamed of in my life is you. You have endured hardships with me for many years, worked hard and refused to give up. I will live a good life in the future."
Until the end, when Father Song looked at Song Changming, his breath had become much weaker.
Song Changming could sense that Song's father's signs of returning to his former glory were about to dissipate, and he was in his final moments.
"I seemed to have met Zhan'er and Zhou'er just now. I was complaining, too, for making them wait below for so long." Song's father's words gradually became blurred and no longer complete.
The Zhan'er and Zhou'er he mentioned were Song Changming's eldest and second brothers.
Even before his death, Song's father could not forget his eldest son and second son. This was the pain that accompanied him throughout his life.
"I guess you are wrong, father. How can the eldest and second brothers blame you?" Song Changming responded.
"Chang Ming, you are my father's greatest pride in his life, and thanks to you, my father can live to such an old age safely. His old age is considered complete. My only regret is that I can't see you more.
Watching you reach a higher peak, watching you marry and have children, and your family will be full of children and grandchildren."
"My father has one last request. In the future, he will take my ashes and bury them outside Donglai County, in the Songjia Village back then. I don't want to go anywhere, okay?"
"Okay!" Song Changming nodded without hesitation, complying with Song's father's last instructions before his death.
"It's a pity that my green water silkworm can't see the five lines." Father Song's eyes gradually became empty and lifeless.
Mother Song and Song Yu cried bitterly.
Although Song Changming didn't cry bitterly, he didn't feel good either.
He was not born into the Song family, but when he traveled through time, he regarded his two elders as his real adoptive parents. He knew that he had to adapt to this. In the future, in the days of immortality, such life and death would continue to happen.
This is also the price of immortality.
After a cremation, an altar of ashes was left.
"If you want to go back for burial, you have to wait until the army from Anyang retakes Donglai County City." Liu Dingsheng also heard Song's father's last request and knew that Song Changming would definitely comply with it, so he couldn't help but say.
Song Changming shook his head and said softly and slowly: "Since it is my father's dying request, how can I neglect it."
Liu Dingsheng was stunned for a moment, then he realized something, "Do you want to go back now?"
"Yes." Song Changming directly stated his intention.
Although Song's father's death itself was due to the impending end of his life.
But if it hadn't been for this trouble and the cavalry chasing after him, Song's father might have been able to live longer.
Therefore, he made up his mind to return to the county town, firstly to bury Song's father so that he could sleep as soon as possible.
The second is to go back and sort out the matter and let yourself have clear ideas!
Liu Dingsheng fell silent.
He also knew Song Changming quite well, and vaguely guessed that Song Changming was going to make a big fuss when he returned.
And since Song Changming has already made a decision, the persuasion of others is probably useless.
It's just that the county town is extremely dangerous now. Even though Song Changming has superior strength, he is still alone after all. This time he ventured into the dragon's pond and tiger's den alone, which made Liu Dingsheng quite worried.
"This is too risky," he couldn't help but say in the end.
"If something cannot be done, I will not force myself." Song Changming said.
After hearing this, Liu Dingsheng knew that talking was useless, so he asked, "What do you need me to do?"
"I still need seniors to help take care of my mother, third sister, and the others." Song Changming said.
"Okay." Liu Dingsheng nodded in agreement.
After the convoy officially left the county and city boundaries and was relatively safe, Song Changming immediately turned around and rode away alone.
Just in case, Song Changming also left Dahuang Dabai with Song's mother to be responsible for escorting him all the way.
To Song's mother and others, he only said that he was going to bury Song's father, and did not say too much to avoid making them worry too much.
Speeding all the way, Song Changming soon returned to the county town.
At this time, there were fires and black smoke everywhere in the county city, as if it had experienced a heavy shelling, and the city was in ruins one after another.
There were countless dead bodies everywhere.
As soon as Song Changming stepped into the city, he smelled the extremely rich smell of blood in the air.
The sky above the city was shrouded in scorching fog and smoke, making the city dark and dark without any light from the sun or moon.
The city, which is like purgatory, does not have half of the peace and harmony of the past.
"Help, help!" In the nearby houses, people who had no time to escape were shouting for help.
Several members of the Dinghaihai Gang were grabbing the woman in a private house and dragging her into the house.
"Little lady, your family doesn't have enough money and food. If you resist again, I will take your child to feed the fog beast!" A member of the Dinghaihai Gang threatened, with rampant arrogance.
As soon as the man finished speaking, he saw a tall man walking into the room at some point.
"Who are you!"
"Why, you want to imitate others in being chivalrous and righteous?!"
"Don't even look at the current situation in the city."
Before several members of the Dinghaihai Gang finished speaking, a flash of sword passed in front of them.
Several heads were thrown away in an instant, and their expressions did not have time to change until they died. The heads and faces that fell to the ground still had the arrogant look they had before.
"My benefactor." The woman hugged the child and knelt on the ground, kowtowing repeatedly.
"Escape for your life." Song Changming went out and left without saying anything else.
I felt even more disgusted with the Dinghaihai Gang.
The Dinghai Gang colluded with the bandit army led by Dongcang Sanlong, and Song Changming had discovered some clues before.
Because of this, he was even forced to kill Luo Haolin, one of the Three Dragons of Dongcang who came to seek revenge on him.
But at that time, he did not think much about the war.
I didn’t expect that more than half a year later, the situation would evolve into this situation.
Donglai County City actually fell into their hands!
