Du Qi Falls
While most people are filled with anxiety when facing illness, Zhang Xuezhou remained remarkably calm.
This composure not only gave Zhang Xuezhou a sense of the bigger picture, but also reassured Wang Haoran and Ren Anran, whose tendons in their hands and feet had been severed by Pei Jing.
If Zhang Xuezhou recovers, there is a chance that everyone's injuries will be fully healed.
When Wang Haoran's bones were severed, he was plunged into endless darkness, and in a short period of time, he seemed to have aged more than ten years. Now, he does not feel particularly depressed.
As long as Zhang Xuezhou is alive, the future remains uncertain.
The two were weak and limp, and it wasn't until Zhou Bo arrived in a sightseeing vehicle looking for them that they were able to leave Shuiyun Pavilion.
The sightseeing bus was carrying a group of patients.
Li Yingbo and Qin Wenhan, whose faces were deformed and who fainted from the torment of the poison Zhang Xuezhou, who was mentally injured, Wang Haoran and Ren Anran, who were injured in their hands and feet, and Ren Yisheng, whose limbs were difficult to coordinate, and even Zhou Bo, who was injured by the heavy shield, could only exert half of his strength.
Ultimately, it was Song Fengying, whose injuries had been suppressed by the Supreme Purity True Technique, who took over the task of driving.
"If you ask me, the best approach is for everyone to communicate harmoniously and peacefully; there's no need to work so hard!"
The situation in the Scarlet Alliance State was different from that of the moths in the Thousand Islands Alliance. Song Fengying felt that this kind of deadly struggle was simply inexplicable. When one's time is up, one should accept the arrival of death, instead of going crazy in old age.
"That Pei Jing is really something. I read about his great achievements in pacifying the southeast in my history textbook when I was a kid. I never imagined he would be so unreasonable in his later years. The textbook and reality are really different..."
Song Fengying kept nagging, and even criticized Pei Jing.
Everyone was preoccupied with their own worries, but Song Fengying was able to maintain an extremely cheerful attitude.
Song Fengying grumbled about Pei Jing, but no one found it offensive. In fact, Song Fengying thought Song Fengying's words were too polite; if they weren't sick or injured, they might have been able to unleash a torrent of abuse.
"That old bastard faked his death, how despicable!" Zhou Bo cursed under his breath. "If the general were here, he would have slapped him away with a single blow!"
"The risks of old age are too high," Ren Yisheng said. "If you have the chance, you should also advise General Zhao not to follow in Pei Jing's footsteps in the future!"
"This..."
"You've visited the Twilight Years Mansion, so you should know that the committee members weren't mistreated. They can even exchange Gene Fighting Technique and conduct research!"
"This matter..."
He could freely criticize Pei Jing, but when it came to Zhao Tianhua, Zhou Bo found it difficult to offer any guarantees.
"General Zhao should be eighty-six years old now, and he still has four years before he turns ninety," Ren Yisheng said. "We welcome General Zhao to come to Western Capital City to inspect the situation. If he is interested, he can move in in advance; if he is not interested, we will not force him. We can discuss things again in four years!"
"Then I'll go back to Wanping and talk to him personally," Zhou Bo finally said.
"We in Western Capital City are currently conducting very important research related to extending lifespan," Ren Yisheng said. "Perhaps General Zhao could benefit from this!"
"I will definitely pass on the message!"
Zhou Bo nodded repeatedly.
When they were in Wanping Province, everything was peaceful and calm, and nothing unacceptable ever happened.
When Zhou Bo came to Qing'an Province to participate in the pacification, he realized that he would face a very difficult choice in the future.
If Zhao Tianhua goes mad in his later years, he might be killed on the spot if he doesn't follow Zhao Tianhua's lead; if he does, he will be trapped in an involuntary fate.
Whether it's the Fifth Sequence or Sixth Sequence, there will be instances of death when they become enemies, and their fate will be the same as that of Xuwana, Wang Handian, and others.
Zhou Bo did a quick comparison and felt a chill run down his spine. For the first time, he realized that the policy for the elderly was not a repressive policy, but rather a genuine effort to reduce potential harm.
All of this requires these uncontrollable high- Sequence Holder to settle into the Twilight Years Mansion, and then most of them will be safe.
Considering the almost pyramid-like system of rules in Wanping Province, where almost everyone follows suit once the top leadership changes their minds, Zhou Bo couldn't help but agree and felt that it was truly necessary for Zhao Tianhua to come to Western Capital City.
Of course, getting Zhao Tianhua to come to Western Capital City for an inspection was also a difficult task. The high- Sequence Holder in Western Capital City were afraid of getting trapped in other provinces and cities, and Zhao Tianhua and the others were also afraid of getting trapped in Western Capital City. The matter needed the help of others.
"I need Professor Ren and the other committee members' help and assurances before I can persuade General Zhao to go to Western Capital..."
Zhou Bo and Ren Yisheng whispered to each other, which made Ren Yisheng nod repeatedly.
Due to differences in personality, and also because Zhang Xuezhou's suppression of Wanping was too swift and decisive, no serious incidents broke out in Wanping Province.
Qing'an Province is hurtful, but the close relationship with Wanping Province will undoubtedly accelerate stability and reduce the occurrence of various heinous incidents in the Scarlet Alliance State.
Zhou Bo's change in attitude is a very obvious example. As more and more committee members enter various provinces, the change in the attitudes of many provinces and cities becomes more and more obvious, eventually embracing Western Capital City and becoming a monolithic entity.
Ren Yisheng and others may not be able to govern a country in the smallest details to make everyone feel fair, but they can undoubtedly handle all sorts of big problems.
Ren Yisheng was extremely satisfied with Zhou Bo's transformation. Just as he was about to reassure everyone, he heard gunshots coming from not far away.
"It's Song Bu'er's gun! They've caught up with Pei Jing! Quickly, turn the car around and head there!"
Ren Yisheng was overjoyed and quickly directed Song Fengying to turn the car around and head towards the sound of gunfire.
Pei Jing was severely injured, and Du Qi was Fifth Sequence. As long as they stepped into Ren Yisheng's attack range, both of them would be controlled, not to mention Song Bu'er and others.
Ren Yisheng took a deep breath, adjusting his body as he prepared for the Dragon Elephant Combat Technique.
Zhou Bo touched his heavy military dagger, a ferocious look flashing across his face.
If they want to leave Liuyuan and Qing'an safely, they must eliminate the biggest threat; otherwise, they will be difficult to prevent from being attacked in the future.
No one would give Pei Jing and his group a chance to make a comeback, even though they were all seriously injured.
Only when Pei Jing is completely dead will everyone consider the matter over.
"There!"
Zhou Bo kept scanning the area ahead, and by the time another gunshot rang out, he had pinpointed the location.
"Du Qi went into the water; he wants to take Pei Jing into the underground passage!"
The Willow Garden is filled with artificial hills and flowing water. No matter how fast Du Qi walks, his opponent is carrying Pei Jing on his back, and Song Bu'er's gun is specifically aimed at Pei Jing, which puts Du Qi in a very passive position.
When Zhou Bo pointed out the location, everyone could already see Du Qi behind the artificial hill more than 80 meters away.
The other person was carrying Pei Jing on their back, their clothes were constantly soaked, and their face was contorted with rage, clearly showing that they hated Song Bu'er to the core.
"Our forces have regrouped, you've lost!"
Song Bu'er's emotionless pronouncement only fueled Du Qi's resentment.
"It shouldn't be like this, everything shouldn't be like this!" Duqi said angrily.
"It shouldn't be like this, so what do you want?" Song Bu'er asked.
Song Bu'er slowly revealed her body.
His clothing was very similar in color to the artificial mountain around him, but after Song Bu'er took a few steps, it strangely transformed into a nearly transparent stream of water.
Song Bu'er's gun development is unknown, but Song Bu'er outfit is like a chameleon, almost perfectly concealing Song Bu'er.
"This treasure!"
Even Zhang Xuezhou had to exclaim in surprise, finally understanding why Song Bu'er had been nowhere to be seen in the many youth challenge competitions, yet was constantly following Wang Haoran.
It's all over!
Song Bu'er spoke.
Song Bu'er revealed his physical form and stopped chasing Du Qi like a vengeful spirit. The reason for this was simply that Ren Yisheng and the others had arrived.
He didn't like to talk much, but in order to Ren Yisheng to unleash the Dragon Elephant Combat Technique, Song Bu'er felt that it wouldn't hurt to say a few more words.
The gun in his hand was pointing downwards, but for some reason, Song Bu'er had a vague sense of foreboding.
"It's over, it can't be over..."
Song Bu'er's indifferent and emotionless demeanor infuriated Du Qi. Knowing that he could not escape, he shouted angrily, hoping that some of Pei Jing's old subordinates would come into the Willow Garden to help him.
But his angry shouting stopped abruptly after only a few seconds.
A sharp pain shot through his neck, and Du Qi turned around in disbelief to see a pair of ferocious eyes, like those of a wild beast devoid of reason, staring at him.
"General... general..."
The excruciating pain in my neck was nothing compared to the collapse of my inner conviction, which was even more despairing.
As Du Qi watched Pei Jing tear at his neck like a wild beast, the despair in his eyes dimmed further. He did not resist and swayed as he collapsed.
After the fierce battle, Pei Jing, whom he carried on his back, had truly entered his twilight years.
