Chapter 293: He Junnian Has Arrived
Huo Wudi felt somewhat aggrieved, because that large bone was deliberately left by her to eat last, but now, it was grabbed away by a filthy old man with his hand.
So, she looked up at Yun Ce, thinking that Yun Ce probably disliked dirty ghosts and might take action to beat this old dirty ghost.
Yun Ce fished out a large leaf of wild vegetable from the pot, placed it on Zheng Tianshou’s bone, and the old guy didn’t care about talking, eating the vegetable and meat together.
Huo Wudi and Yun Ce were actually already full, and since the soup pot was dirtied by the old guy, they stopped eating, one busy fishing vegetables for the old guy, the other busy sizing up what virtue or ability the old guy had to make Yun Ce fish vegetables for him to eat.
Zheng Tianshou had been hungry for two days, attended the Wife of the Crown Prince of Changsha’s palace banquet but didn’t get a single thing to eat, then encountered pursuit and kill, and with this pursuit and kill, he had fled for two days.
In these two days, he did nothing else but fight with people, and now, seeing Yun Ce in Chang’an City, he finally felt like he was about to starve to death.
Although Zheng Tianshou was old, he was ultimately a super warrior who could eat a lot, and in a moment, he not only ate clean all the food in the half pot of warm pot left by Yun Ce and Huo Wudi, but also poured the remaining soup juice over the cooled rice and ate another half pot.
The people pursuing and killing him had also arrived, but for Yun Ce’s sake, they allowed Zheng Tianshou to finish this last meal before death.
The red date horse’s head quietly poked up from the stairwell, took a look, then quietly shrank back, taking advantage of no one noticing, quietly stood in a corner not easily noticed by people, pretending to be an ordinary thunder smoke beast.
This trick was very effective, it had tested it several times, every time it pretended to be an ordinary thunder smoke beast, even if people were fighting you to the death, they still cared very much about its safety, and even when using big moves, they would deliberately avoid it.
1 After Zheng Tianshou finished eating, he reached out to Yun Ce and said, “Do you have any wine?”
1 Yun Ce handed him a wine gourd, and after Zheng Tianshou gulped down several large mouthfuls, he hid behind Yun Ce and said, “Now it’s up to you.”
1 Yun Ce glanced at Wu Tong, who had been silent since entering, and said, “I remember you used to have quite a backbone.”
1 Wu Tong said, “Doing big things doesn’t stick to small details.”
1 Yun Ce shook his head and said, “Big things are accumulations of small things, if you don’t care about small details, big things are crooked from the root, let’s go, I’m waiting for your master He Junnian.”
1 Wu Tong sneered and said, “When he comes, you’re dead.”
1 Yun Ce laughed along and said, “Even if it’s death, haven’t we fought? Things in this world, without personally experiencing them, who lives and who dies is still hard to say.”
1 Wu Tong looked at Yun Ce for a moment and said, “Since that’s the case, I’ll help you summon him.”
1 Yun Ce looked around and saw only twelve people beside Wu Tong, shook his head and said, “We have too few people.”
1 Wu Tong said, “If I don’t call now, I won’t have the courage to face him again later.”
2 Yun Ce frowned and said, “Is the Grand Marshal not joining the battle?”
2 Wu Tong came in front of Yun Ce and said, “I thought he would, but from the current situation, killing He Junnian is not the Grand Marshal’s top priority.
2 In the end, I have to do it myself.”
2 Yun Ce smacked his lips and said, “Look, the High Priest is unwilling to face He Junnian, the Grand Marshal is also unwilling to face He Junnian, now, you’re preparing to team up with me to face He Junnian?”
2 Wu Tong laughed and said, “You just said you were waiting for He Junnian and wanted to kill him.”
2 Yun Ce shook his head and said, “I was just saying that, don’t take it too seriously.”
2 “I’m not taking it seriously, I’m just preparing to do that, moreover, you burned Panxing Tower, destroying half a year of He Junnian’s hard work, he will definitely come for you, or rather, he’s already on his way to find you.”
2 Yun Ce sucked in a breath of cold air and said, “Actually, I just hope you find a powerful helper to deal with He Junnian, this powerful helper isn’t me, understand?”
2 Wu Tong threw his head back and gave a dry laugh, “Ha, you’re currently the strongest helper I can find.”
2 Yun Ce lowered his head to Huo Wudi and said, “You should run quickly.”
3 Huo Wudi was such a clever child, hearing Yun Ce say this, she didn’t even hesitate for a moment, turned around and ran, and before leaving, didn’t forget to take away the blanket Yun Ce slept with.
3 Zheng Tianshou also wanted to run, but as soon as he lifted his foot, he heard Yun Ce say sinisterly, “You shouldn’t run.”
3 Zheng Tianshou stopped, turned to Yun Ce and said, “This meal…”
3 Huo Wudi arrived in the courtyard and still wanted to take the red date horse with her, but the red date horse was unwilling, an unmounted thunder smoke beast indicated it had no owner, worth a thousand gold not to mention, and people would strive to protect it.
3 A mounted thunder smoke beast meant it had an owner, having an owner made it worthless not to mention, and it would be killed.
3 The red date horse understood this reasoning better than anyone, no matter how Huo Wudi coaxed it, it didn’t leave that corner where bystanders paid little attention.
3 No choice, Huo Wudi ran off by herself.
3 The second-floor small building quieted down once again, Yun Ce quietly waiting, Zheng Tianshou with a face full of ashen defeat, as for Wu Tong, he seemed to have thought it through and was even slightly excited.
3 After waiting half an hour, He Junnian didn’t come, Yun Ce was about to mock that Wu Tong didn’t even have the ability to summon He Junnian, meaning he had no value to He Junnian at all.
3 At that moment, from the direction of Divine Dragon Hall, a bright red fire pillar suddenly shot straight into the sky, at that instant, even the mournful Chang’an rain stopped.
4 The fire pillar seemed to burn the dark clouds red, the dark clouds covering Chang’an’s sky turned into fiery clouds in an instant, eerily covering Chang’an’s sky.
4 The moment he saw this fire pillar, Yun Ce drilled out from the broken hole above the second-floor small building, and without stopping under his feet, madly ran toward the direction of Imperial Palace Mountain.
4 He ran extremely fast, like a bolt of lightning, the previous moment still in the second-floor small building, the next moment already on another civilian house.
4 Wu Tong and the others weren’t as foolish as Yun Ce, as soon as they got to the rooftop, two large birds landed, the thirteen people unhesitatingly mounted the large birds, and when the large birds flapped their wings to take off, Yun Ce was long gone.
4 Zheng Tianshou didn’t move, waiting until Yun Ce and Wu Tong and the others had all run off, he found a clean spot, pulled a blanket from the tent, found an inconspicuous place to wrap himself up, he planned to rest well, then find an opportunity to leave Chang’an.
4 The fire pillar penetrating the dark clouds was undoubtedly ancestral fire, and only ancestral fire had this ability, and the person who could make ancestral fire feel threatened besides He Junnian, no one else was possible.
4 Yun Ce knew he couldn’t beat He Junnian, even though he had just pretended to wait for He Junnian to appear, he had long thought of escape routes and prepared several feasible escape methods he thought would work.
4 Now it wouldn’t work, He Junnian had gone to Divine Dragon Hall, his wife and son were all there, let alone just facing He Junnian, even facing the King of Hell, Yun Ce at this moment had no intention of retreating.
4 When Yun Ce ran at full speed, he was even faster than the red date horse, arriving at Great Han Imperial Palace in an instant, and climbing the steps from the imperial palace gate upward, he only left a residual shadow for those with intentions.
4 The fire pillar formed by ancestral fire, after flying high into the sky long enough, turned straight down, smashing rapidly toward the ground, the entire Imperial Palace Mountain trembled violently, the bright red flames boomed apart after touching the ground, flowing fire filling the entire Dragon God Hall.
5 A gray-white figure flew out from the flowing fire laughing loudly, landing on the dragon head outside Dragon God Hall, without seeming to exert much force, that iron-hard dragon head boomed and exploded, Yun Ce who had just arrived said nothing, the meteor hammer long wrapped around his arm flew out at full force, smashing straight toward that gray-white figure.
5 “Courting death!”
5 A clear cold voice rushed straight into Yun Ce’s brain in mid-air, the meteor hammer that had just flown to the gray-white figure’s chest was lightly pressed by their hand, a clear palm print remarkably appeared on the meteor hammer, which almost without a moment’s delay flew back.
5 Yun Ce had long released the meteor hammer’s chain, just sidestepped to dodge, the returning meteor hammer carried the chain along with another meteor hammer flying toward the pitch-black sky behind.
5 A thick heavy giant shield suddenly appeared on Yun Ce’s left hand, he hid his body behind the giant shield, charging with man and shield toward the gray-white figure that had just landed.
5 A fair white palm suddenly appeared from the darkness, pressing again on the giant shield, the giant shield emitted a muffled loud sound, not shattering as He Junnian imagined, but rippling and then rapidly flying back.
5 Yun Ce lay on the ground, the giant shield flew over his head, the horse spear in his hand stabbed like a viper toward He Junnian’s chest, that hand that seemed able to tear apart all things in the world appeared again, surprisingly pinching the spear blade, with a gentle twist of the wrist, the spear shaft in Yun Ce’s hand was like burnt red by fire, instantly forcing open his palm, at the moment his tiger mouth was about to tear, Yun Ce chose to let go.
5 The successive attacks finally made He Junnian stop, standing on the steps looking down at the empty-handed Yun Ce and saying, “Among young warriors, you are the first.”
5 Yun Ce cupped his fists in salute and said, “Heir of the King of Changsha Liu Chang’an has seen Your Excellency Da Xuebeng.”
5 He Junnian shook his gray-white robe sleeve and said, “With an outstanding junior like you, Liu Changsheng can smile in the nine springs.”
6 Yun Ce laughed and said, “Did Your Excellency Da Xuebeng come to my Great Han just to praise this Heir Apparent?”
6 He Junnian stroked his gray-white hair with his hand, looking at Yun Ce and said, “Young man, Gui Fang and Great Han share the same origin, for many years this old man has persuaded Gui Fang to lead the people to submit, why do you harbor such deep hostility toward this old man?”
6 Yun Ce slowly pulled a silk thread, retrieving the flown giant shield, gripping it again in hand and saying, “I take pride in my Great Han bloodline, and do not wish to associate with mongrels.”
6 He Junnian glanced at the one-inch deep handprint on Yun Ce’s giant shield, slowly walking down from the high ground, saying to Yun Ce, “Talk of bloodline is utter nonsense, Great Han has made no progress for thousands of years, while Gui Fang people in the bitter cold lands have forged themselves into existences stronger than Great Han people.
6 In the past, Gui Fang was ignorant and naturally learned from Great Han, now that Great Han is inferior to Gui Fang, why not learn from Gui Fang?
6 Fusing the strengths of a hundred schools is the only way for Great Han to endure and grow ever new.
6 Things in this world are all like this, the strong survive, the weak perish, if Great Han does not renew itself, extinction is ultimately inevitable.”
