Chapter 863: Each Pursuing His Own Path (Updated)

Putting aside his plot against He Lingchuan, this man was more capable and courageous than most officials in the Yuan Court. Perhaps, the precarious Kite Kingdom needs such a hero.

For such a person, He Lingchuan was unwilling to evaluate him from the perspective of personal morality and personal grudges.

As for the grudge between him and the original He Lingchuan, let's end it with the Panlong Ruins as the dividing point.

"You just said that He Chunhua was injured?"

Qiu Hu noticed that he no longer said "my father", but called He Chunhua by his first name.

This Lord is not foolish and filial, that’s great!

"The injury is on the right shoulder. It looks serious. But I believe that as long as it is treated well, it will not hurt your life." He did not come forward to take a closer look. He only took a few glances from a distance while hiding behind the dunes.

"Maybe he was injured in the Panlong ruins." He Lingchuan was thinking about what He Chunhua would do next.

The rebellion in the south has been put down and the assessment work on Hongya Road has been completed. Is it time for He Chunhua to go north to attack Da Sima?

Yuan Ting was probably extremely anxious, but in He Lingchuan's view, He Chunhua was not so anxious.

Da Sima is a tough nut to crack, and now he has won several battles in a row, and his morale is strong. He Chunhua is a smart person and should avoid his sharp edges.

If he stayed in Yuan Kingdom, there would probably be a big show to watch. However, he had already lost his mind.

This country is almost rotten to the core. He has no roots or followers in the Kite Kingdom, and he has no interest in staying and operating on it.

It’s time to say goodbye to Yuan Kingdom and the past.

The past is wiped out.

Qiu Hu happened to ask him: "Where are we going next?"

He Lingchuan called all the Rongshan disciples over, put a few bags of jewelry and banknotes on the table, and then said seriously:

"When I went to Rongshan to ask for people, I only said that I would go back to the Yuan Kingdom to do business. Now that the Yuan Kingdom is in trouble, I will go east. The sky is high and the road is long and the journey is across the ocean. There may be endless dangers in the future. Everyone here will continue to follow as you wish. , it is a great honor for me; if you want to go back to Rongshan, I will give each of you a bag of jewelry and a thousand taels of silver banknotes, and we will say goodbye."

When the disciples of Rongshan heard this, they looked at each other.

Although this trip to the Panlong Desert was strange, everyone returned safely, and He Lingchuan's reward was quite generous.

Should he stay and continue to follow, or should he take the money and return to the sect?

It's time to make your own decisions.

After a while, a disciple from Rongshan stood up and saluted He Lingchuan, then took away the jewelry and banknotes and strode out.

Now that someone has set an example, disciples will stand up one after another and follow suit.

Before and after, five people walked away.

He Lingchuan waited for a while and saw that the remaining ten people had no intention of getting up, so he asked: "Everyone here, are you willing to follow me eastward?"

Tao Ran smiled and said: "It is much more interesting to follow the young master than to stay in Rongshan or to serve in other royal courts."

Everyone nodded: "Exactly!"

"We also want to go to sea and see exotic customs!"

He Lingchuan asked Qiu Hu again: "What about you?"

Headmaster Xue of Rongshan and Elder Dao originally made it very clear that Qiu Hu was only "lent" to him.

Where to go from now on, Qiu Hu has to make his own decision.

Qiu Hu said without hesitation: "I'll go with the young master!"

If before leaving the Rongshan Realm, he was only grateful to He Lingchuan because he helped him avenge Bai Village, then after going through life and death in the Panlong Secret Realm, he admired He Lingchuan even more.

Not to mention anything else, the death of He Jing, the messenger of Tiangong Duyun, must be closely related to Young Master He!

He hadn't seen it himself, but he was extremely sure.

And although Panlong Secret Realm ended abruptly, he believed that there must be more unknown causes and effects behind it.

Young Master He is an insider hiding behind the scenes.

Following such a person, going to the outer world to reopen a new world, Qiu Hu saw a bright future.

If you only aim for stability in life, it will be extremely boring.

This is also of great benefit to his own moral training and cultivation.

Sometimes, choice outweighs effort.

In fact, deep down in Qiu Hu's heart, he and He Lingchuan still have some sympathy for each other.

In the secret realm of Panlong, he watched helplessly as He Lingchuan tolerated every possible way towards his biological father, but He Chunhua was determined to sacrifice his eldest son!

This kind of beast is not worthy of being a parent!

Qiu Hu himself has no father or mother, and was raised by villagers under the jurisdiction of Rongshan. He originally thought that his life experience was miserable, but looking at He Lingchuan, it was worse to have such a father than not!

In comparison, he actually felt that he was a good fortune teller, at least there were no elders who wanted to sacrifice him to ghosts and gods.

He Lingchuan didn't know what was going on in his heart. He took a deep breath and solemnly said to everyone:

"From now on, I and you all will work together and share happiness and misfortune!"

Everyone stood up and held their fists in front of him as a salute:

"I am willing to go through fire and water for my lord!"

He Lingchuan felt so relieved that he really wanted to laugh out loud. From now on, these eleven Ronshan disciples have truly become his direct descendants, giving him the confidence to travel across the ocean and start a new business!

He has a team again.

Tao Ran went out to look around twice, then came back and said, "They have gone far."

"They" refers to the Rongshan disciples who left on their own.

Although they came from the same school, they went their separate ways.

Qiu Hu asked at the right time: "Where are you going behind?"

He Lingchuan grabbed a piece of yellow paper from his arms and slapped it on the table: "Here!"

Everyone lowered their heads and looked: "Blade Port?"

Tao Ran thought for a while: "I think I've heard of this place. Oops, it's really not close."

"The Panlong Desert is now accessible, so there is no need to take the Red Cliff Road. We avoid Heishui City and head south to Baisha Bay to meet Dong Rui and Aunt Zhu, and then take a boat to the sea." On the way to Baiyuan Post Station by earth dragon, He Lingchuan had already thought about it, "If the voyage goes smoothly, we will land at Daofeng Port."

Everyone asked in their hearts, what's next?

"Then--" He Lingchuan smiled, and the words he said made them eager to fight, "We will conquer a piece of heaven and earth."

Yuan Country is not what he cares about. He yearns for the distance, where there is.

He fulfilled the original body's wishes, inherited the original body's body, and should also inherit the things that originally belonged to the original body.

After two years of wandering, He Lingchuan has had enough of the days of wandering.

His heart has also grown, and he wants to develop and make progress, but owning his own territory is the most solid guarantee.

It's time.

￥￥￥￥￥

Thirty days later, He Chunhua returned to Yuzhou.

Yuan Ting had received the news that Rong Shanren had completed the inspection of Hongya Road, and also received his report about the Andong people attacking Heishui City and the death of the eldest son of the He family. The king sent a message to praise him and comfort him.

He had just lost his son and was in grief, so the king didn't feel comfortable ordering him to go north immediately.

But this "embarrassment" only lasted for half a month, after all, the national situation was really critical.

He Chunhua reported that he was seriously injured in the battle of Heishui City and became seriously ill on the way back to Yuzhou.

Yuan Jun issued orders one after another, urging him to go north to attack Dong Haoming, but He Chunhua said that he was sick and unable to raise an army.

He has been running around and fighting in the past year. While he has made great contributions to Dayuan, he is also exhausted. On his way to repel the Andong people and return to Heishui City, he even fell off his horse and fainted in public, but he only stayed in Heishui City for a few days before he hurried on his way. When the soldiers of Yuzhou heard that their commander was injured and even their eldest son died on the battlefield, they were both impressed and distressed. When they heard that the king desperately urged General Changning to go north, the whole army cursed that King Yuan was a worthless person and that the Yuan court was hopeless.

During the "recuperation", He Chunhua stepped up the recruitment and training of soldiers in the territory.

At this time, his reputation as General Changning and Marquis Wuwei had spread throughout the north and south, and the policies implemented in Yuzhou were popular. It happened that the autumn grain was stored and the granaries were full this year, and the territory presented a rare scene of peace and tranquility.

So the talented and brave people who had been deeply disappointed with Yuan State for many years came to surrender, hoping that they could show their strengths and achieve success under the command of Marquis Wuwei.

People go to higher places, and the surrounding people also brought their elderly and children and their families to surrender.

After more than forty days, Dong Haoming's army broke through the northern defense line of General Yuan Ke Jihai and advanced more than 300 miles to Yuandu.

At the same time, thousands of miles away in the eastern battlefield, the battle between Mou State and Beijia became more and more intense, and good news came one after another.

The follow-up team sent by the Heavenly Palace finally arrived at Heishui City. After investigating here for half a month, they split into two groups, one heading to Panlong Ruins, and the other continuing north to Baling State!

The target they were looking for, He Lingchuan, the mastermind behind the Panlong Desert Incident, had already led the crowd to Baisha Port at the southernmost tip of Yuan State.

A brand new journey starts from here.
