Chapter 16: The Jianghu Road is Long, See You Again on the Human Ranking!

~8 min read 1,491 words

Late at night.

Seeing Dou Changsheng successfully arrived at the agreed place.

After Seeing Dou Changsheng arrived, he found that there was no one here. Seeing Dou Changsheng sat down and started to wait.

Feng Zhongyi was entrusted to the wrong person; Seeing Dou Changsheng didn't intend to tell anyone about Feng Zhongyi's affairs at all, intending to let it rot in his stomach.

To tell the truth.

That Primordial True Realm martial artist with Five Qi Converging at the Origin died too cleanly; Seeing Dou Changsheng suspected there was a problem.

But there was no need to investigate in detail.

After all, Seeing Dou Changsheng also suspected that the other party also saw some clues.

This accidental encounter ended in such a dramatic way, which can be called the best of both worlds.

After a while, Seeing Dou Changsheng heard footsteps.

This made Seeing Dou Changsheng grasp the sword hilt beside him, and at the same time, his gaze looked toward the direction of the sound. He had already slowly started to stand up. Seeing Dou Changsheng did not report hope for his own luck, fearing that an outsider would come.

If he encountered Feng Zhongyi again, that would be very happy.

As the person approached, Seeing Dou Changsheng also saw clearly who it was. His heart felt relieved; it was indeed Tang He who came.

A group of three.

All of them were extremely embarrassed.

There were burn marks on their clothes, and even on their arms and thighs, there were burn injuries.

The Black Hei Hei Ying Zunzhe was the most miserable. His originally smooth and elegant long hair was gone. It seemed that it had been burned, and he had directly slashed it off with a long sword. Now he had short hair to his ears, which changed his temperament quite a bit.

The last person, Seeing Dou Changsheng also recognized: it was Zhao Manren, whom he had met once before.

When Zhao Manren saw Seeing Dou Changsheng, he couldn't help but show a look of shame, and said guiltily: "I am sorry for Brother Dou's life-saving grace, sorry for the Shogunate, and even more sorry for the people of the Northern Lands."

"The military pay in my hand was plundered."

Zhao Manren finally sighed long, his face extremely painful, and his whole body was filled with a decadent atmosphere.

He sat directly on the ground, like a salted fish.

Anyone who took a look could see that this person was already ruined.

Tang He reached out and took the water bag handed over by Seeing Dou Changsheng, drank several big mouthfuls, suppressed his anger, and then said: "The old senior has been rescued."

"Then I won't stay any longer; I will go south overnight and return to the sect."

Hearing Tang He's words, the Black Hei Hei Ying Zunzhe couldn't help but be anxious and hurriedly advised: "Now is the time when people are needed."

"Why do you want to?"

Before the Black Hei Hei Ying Zunzhe could finish speaking, Tang He interrupted directly: "It's not that I fear danger, but this time heading to Jianmen Pass, I discovered that this Northern Lands chaos was caused by the Northern Lands people."

"I am just an outsider and it is not good for me to intervene."

"No matter how I do it, I will become an accomplice of one side, bullying the people of the other side."

"So finally rescuing the old senior is the limit of what I can do."

After Tang He finished speaking, he directly cupped his hands and said to Seeing Dou Changsheng: "Brother Dou, take care."

Tang He walked a few steps and couldn't help but say: "Brother Dou has high wind and bright integrity, a gentleman of the ancient times."

"If you have any trouble in the future, you can come to Jiangdu, Southern Chen, to find me."

"You and I will wield swords across the world and tour the scenery of the south of the Yangtze River."

After Tang He finished speaking, he flicked his arm, and a long sword drew a beautiful arc in the air, finally falling in front of Seeing Dou Changsheng, and was grabbed by Seeing Dou Changsheng by the scabbard.

Tang He turned his back to Seeing Dou Changsheng, and his melodious voice came: "The long sword in Brother Dou's hand is of too poor quality and has even rusted."

"This sword of mine is named Hero. It was gifted by the elders of the clan when I left Jiangdu, condensing their expectations for me."

"Although it is not a divine weapon, it is also a sharp weapon, incomparable to ordinary steel. It contains two taels of star iron, making it blow hair and break hair, extremely sharp."

"The ancients said, a precious sword is gifted to a hero; this sword is gifted to Brother Dou!"

"Wait for me to go back to seclusion, and then come out, I will impact the Human Ranking, and encourage each other with Brother Dou!"

The voice disappeared, and finally a very faint voice came:

"The Jianghu road is long, let's part here; the mountains are high and the water is long, see you again!"

Seeing Dou Changsheng's five fingers exerted a little force, tightly grasping the scabbard, and suddenly a little sadness arose.

Since stepping into Junxian and being involved in the Northern Lands dispute, although it had only been a short half a month, most of the time was spent on the road, and there were many killings, once falling into a desperate situation.

But it had to be admitted that the Jianghu had dangers, but also its romance.

Tang He's move today suddenly made Seeing Dou Changsheng unable to react.

Hero Sword.

Gifting it to himself also indicated that in Tang He's heart, he was a well-deserved hero.

This sword is very heavy.

Seeing Dou Changsheng knew that he was not as selfless as Tang He thought.

This time rescuing the Black Hei Hei Ying Zunzhe, how much sincerity was there? How much selfishness?

Seeing Dou Changsheng himself couldn't judge.

The past flowed through his mind.

Although he hadn't been in contact for long, Tang He was undoubtedly a person of chivalry.

What did the Northern Lands matter have to do with him, a citizen of Southern Chen?

But transporting military pay for thousands of miles and risking his life to rescue the Black Hei Hei Ying Zunzhe—each one was a righteous act.

It wasn't just Tang He. Looking at Zhao Manren, who was full of self-reproach and decadence, like the Black Hei Hei Ying Zunzhe, he was running around for the Northern Lands, also risking danger and not fearing death.

But the Jianmen Pass guard, the Captain of Breaking the Captives, was not wrong either.

Nor was he a bad person.

The border army resisted the Hu people, their families in the rear were bullied, the military pay left the capital for thousands of miles, was submerged by a landslide, and finally the gold and silver disappeared.

They wanted justice, an explanation, and for the whole territory to resist the Hu people, rather than the local people destroying their homes to resist the Hu.

Places like Liangdi and the capital enjoyed the peace they exchanged with their lives, yet they looked down on them and belittled and suppressed them everywhere.

The Black Hei Hei Ying Zunzhe roared angrily: "The Demon Prime Minister misleads the country."

In the end, unable to hold back, he cursed in a low voice: "The muddled emperor dotes on a demonic consort; he is no good thing either."

The Black Hei Hei Ying Zunzhe finally looked at Seeing Dou Changsheng and said in a deep voice: "The military pay in Zhao Manren's hands has been plundered. Now that the military pay is incomplete, the Captain of Breaking the Captives can use this to hold us accountable and accuse the Shogunate of being ineffective."

Seeing Dou Changsheng sighed: "The military pay matter is not important at all."

"The Pure Yang blood of the Divine Fist Invincible Old Master Yuan was destroyed by the Captain of Breaking the Captives right in front of me."

"Such a thing, the Captain of Breaking the Captives didn't even have the idea of refining it to exchange for money, which is enough to see the anger in the Captain of Breaking the Captives' heart."

"This fire is that the Great General of the Northern Defense cannot stand up for the Northern Lands."

"Just military pay, how much more? Can it be more than the wealth of the capital? Where does it need such a long time to raise?"

"As long as Yu Yun writes a letter, from the generals in the Northern Lands to the ordinary border soldiers, everyone is willing to sign their names."

"Just ask the True Dragon Son of Heaven in the capital, can this military pay be taken out?" ===== CHAPTER 17 =====
