"Qingqing, please don't think wildly. Even if the world is in turmoil, this is still a safe place."
One day when the sun was shining brightly, Song Mu was basking in the sun with Gu Qingqing in a small courtyard in Shiyang County.
However, in January, due to the successive actions of the Wen Dynasty, there were many frictions between the border army and the Yaozu. During this period, there were also news that the death of several academicians shocked the government and the public. However, the strange thing is that the Yaozu's actions still did not intensify.
The two sides fought back and forth. A war that should have been extremely intense seemed to be waning.
But beneath the calm surface, there are undercurrents.
The great Confucians of the Wen Dynasty and the top combat forces of the Monster Clan have fought on the Void Cliff several times. For the first time, the disciples of the Poetry Sect and Ci Sect of the Wen Dynasty organized themselves into the frontier army in the form of military formations.
In some places where the border troops had too much time to take care of, there were even incidents of ordinary people attacking and killing monsters.
Just yesterday, Song Mu received a hurried report from his tribe that the old man was seriously ill and was on his deathbed.
At the same time, a secret report came from the Wen Dynasty that the demon clan Lao Niu from the northwest came out of its nest and swept across the two border states. Two great Confucians were defeated and were in urgent need of reinforcements.
Song Mu suppressed his emotions and came to Shiyang City, sending two beams of literary power to Song Liangda, but it was still of no use.
For a while, the hospital was filled with sobs. Gu Qingqing may have been feeling sad, but she also couldn't stop crying.
So Song Mu took Gu Qingqing to the other courtyard to relieve his emotions and explain some family affairs.
Gu Qingqing is now in her late twilight years, her hair has turned white, and her face has aged.
"Husband, when my grandfather passed away, I was not so sad. It's just that for some reason, today, today, I just can't control myself."
Song Mu hugged Gu Qingqing into his arms. He wanted to speak at this moment, but he just hugged her tightly.
Gu Qingqing buried her head in Song Mu's arms and suddenly asked.
"Husband, if the day comes that I pass away, don't be sad."
Song Mu suddenly trembled when he heard this, and looked down at Gu Qingqing, who just said in harmony.
"In this life, I have children and grandchildren around my knees, and I have a husband as my companion. I am a couple born in heaven. The ancients said that sleeping together for a lifetime is a blessing for thousands of generations..."
As Gu Qingqing said this, the hand holding Song Mu tightened a little.
Song Mu naturally knew Gu Qingqing's intention at this moment. With the world in turmoil, he had to face the demon clan head-on.
Maybe it will be a long time, maybe we will never see each other again.
Generals die on the battlefield, and beauties turn into bones.
Gu Qing had already anticipated the possible situation early in the morning. Although he had been separated from Song Mu many times, he still felt reluctant to let go. At this moment, he only spoke about it through Song Liangda's incident.
Song Mu was speechless and could only hug Gu Qingqing tightly. At this time, there was sudden movement from the side yard, and he could only hear someone shouting his name. He suddenly let go and hurriedly went to the courtyard with Gu Qingqing.
Song Mu walked towards the house. Song Liangda was lying on the bed, with half of the blood on his face, and he just stretched out a hand to explore randomly.
It wasn't until Song Mu held his hand that he reluctantly opened his eyes.
"Brother Mu..."
"Second uncle..."
"Brother Mu, my second uncle, I have no regrets in this life."
"It's just that you want to come back safely. My second uncle, I, and your father... are waiting for you."
After speaking, Song Liangda suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Song Mu, as if Song Mu's face was deeply imprinted in his eyes.
Just for a moment, the look in his eyes gradually disappeared, and the hand holding Song Mu suddenly let go.
Song Mu paused. There was no sound at the moment, but the next moment there was loud crying, which spread from the courtyard.
Just as Song Liangda was leaving, Yan Fu also stepped into the courtyard, his face extremely heavy.
"The imperial court came to report that the Black Dragon King has appeared, holding millions of monsters hostage and heading straight for Lin'an."
"The great scholars in the imperial court are fighting against the Niutou in the northwest, but they are unable to catch up. The imperial court ordered all the great scholars in the imperial court to go out to fight."
Song Mu was dressed in linen clothes. After hearing the news, he looked back at the scene in the courtyard and nodded silently.
After explaining a few things to Gu Qingqing, Song Mu stepped out. When he crossed the threshold, he paused, turned around and looked back into the house, then knelt down and kowtowed.
…
Outside Lin'an Mansion, the tide surged.
There are dark clouds gathering on the sea in the distance, and the strong wind carries the fishy and salty smell into everyone's nose. People have already gathered outside Lin'an Mansion.
"Fellow elders, please listen to me. Lin'an City is already overcrowded. We must circle the city and leave. We cannot stay here for long."
"Master Xiucai, we have been walking for a day and a night, and we can't move any further. Please tell me that you can let me go into the city first and have a rest."
An old man was talking to a man who looked like a scholar, but the man looked embarrassed when he heard it.
"Old man, unless we don't want to enter the city, the city guarding sergeant also said that with the attack of the beast tide, the whole city is under martial law and no one is allowed to enter."
"Everyone, listen to me. Today's situation is not trivial. I'm afraid it's not safe here either. We'd better bite the bullet and keep going."
Before the scholar finished speaking, he heard the sound of a trumpet. Countless people looked up and saw groups of government officials dispatched along the city roads, shouting for the people to give way.
Not long after, groups of soldiers walked out of Lin'an City with hurried steps, the fighting sparkled and brought a chilling atmosphere.
The team stretched continuously, but now they were heading towards the seaside.
There was the Mengtong standing on the side of the road looking around and asking his family.
"Dad, what are they going to do?"
"That means going to war. The world is going to change drastically."
At this moment, it seemed that there was no need for the scholar to explain anything anymore. All the people also knew that Lin'an Mansion was not a safe place at this moment, and they also dispersed towards the surrounding area.
For a while, it was quite confusing to carry the old and help the young all the way.
At the same time, on the shore of the East China Sea, Liu Jue, the commander of the Eastern Border Army, frowned as he looked at the situation in front of him.
"Are the soldiers everywhere in place?"
"Inform the commander that the troops are in place and a multi-layered defense line has been deployed in accordance with the commander's requirements."
"I wonder if we can block the attack of the demon clan from the East China Sea."
"The Black Dragon King helped in the battle. Even back then, we were not as nervous as we are today."
When Liu Jue said this, he suddenly sensed several breaths from the sky, and his expression suddenly perked up.
The next moment, a surging force fell in front of Liu Jue, and Liu Jue quickly handed over his hand.
"Chang Daru!"
"How's the front going? I came from Chang'an and saw people running away all the way. Are the sergeants already in place?"
Liu Jue quickly reported the situation, but at this time, a figure fell from the sky again.
An elderly man with a long beard stood with his hands behind his back, glanced at several people, and cupped his hands with Chang Daru.
"Li Li, I didn't expect you to come so quickly."
"I set off as soon as the sect received the news, assuming that everything was in order."
As he spoke, Elder Li glanced around, and then asked again.
"What? Am I the only one waiting for you two here?"
"That's the Black Dragon King, not an ordinary demon saint."
Before they finished speaking, another figure appeared. The two of them quickly looked closely, and saw that it was Song Mu. Their eyes lit up at that moment.
"Song Jingzhao, I didn't expect you to come here."
"This time the Black Dragon King comes to attack, how dare Mr. Song stay in a corner?"
Song Mu was wearing white clothes at the moment, his face was full of energy, and his words were calm and bright.
As he spoke, the power of the sky surged, and several great scholars' auras came one after another.
