135 An Accusation
Song Ya’s words stunned the people from the other dojos.
In front of the mighty army, the group of martial artists felt chills all over their bodies, and their hair stood on end.
“Run!”
It was unknown who shouted, but the people from the seven dojos scattered and fled.
“Ants.” Song Ya’s eyes flashed with disdain. He stretched out his hand, and one of the riders behind him immediately handed him his halberd.
Song Ya held the halberd and made a throwing gesture. He took a deep breath, and a red light appeared in his eyes!
BOOM!
The sound of something breaking through the air rang out.
Not far away, the plump Bao Ziyan felt a chill run down his spine, and he suddenly turned around.
As expected, the long halberd was coming straight for him.
“Overlord!” Bao Ziyan roared, and his skin suddenly turned black.
A ferocious aura danced around him, causing his aura to turn black. He planted his feet deep into the frozen ground and swung his fists, taking the blow head-on.
Pfft!
The halberd didn’t stop at all. It pierced through Bao Ziyan’s arms that were blocking in front of him.
Blood and flesh splattered in the air.
Bao Ziyan was dumbfounded as he watched the halberd spin and shatter his arms.
One strike! He had killed one of the eight dojo masters of Pingnan with just a single move!
When the others saw this, they used all their strength and ran into the distance.
“Wei Chang, Wei Sheng, and Wei Sui, kill them all!” Song Ya said indifferently.
“Yes, sir!” Behind him, three heavily armored generals were galloping in the direction of the seven dojo masters.
And closely after, each of them had five hundred cavalrymen following them.
“Overseer Cheng, I don’t care what’s going on with you. I only want those people dead.” Song Ya did not even look at Cheng Li.
He didn’t care whether Cheng Li had ignored the county governor’s order and escaped from Pingnan ahead of time. He only hoped that all the forces and trusted aides who might be related to Hu Guanpan would die.
Song Ya had used the life of his old comrade, who had gone through life and death with him for more than twenty years, to ascend to the position of the leader of the army.
For him, the greatest reward he could give Hu Guanpan was to exterminate him. Otherwise, he might not even be able to sleep well at night.
“General Song, please lend me three hundred cavalrymen! I’ll definitely take the heads of all those who poisoned me!” Cheng Li gritted his teeth, his expression tense.
Song Ya beckoned behind him with his finger, and a general immediately threw out a token from his waist.
“Many thanks, General!” Cheng Li cupped his fists and mounted a horse, then charged in the direction where Qin Huai and the others had been galloping.
Behind him, three hundred soldiers followed closely.
…
On the other side, Qin Huai and the others, who were running wildly in the deep mountains, looked around from time to time.
They had been the first to escape, so they had missed the scene of Song Ya murdering the people from the other seven dojos.
The thirty or so scouts rode through the forest as if they were on flat ground. They followed closely behind but did not get close. They didn’t give Qin Huai and the others a chance to attack at all.
“Master, I can’t get rid of them at all?” Fang Han’s face darkened. “Why don’t we fight them to the death?”
“How? If we kill them, we won’t be able to go to Lingjiang, and even those tens of thousands of cavalry will hunt us down!” Sun Yuanshan’s expression was also solemn. “Although I don’t know what happened to Overseer Cheng, there must be some misunderstanding between us. The only thing we can do now is to clear up the misunderstanding!”
Sun Yuanshan looked behind him. There were also hundreds of apprentices and disciples, especially the apprentices. He was already a little exhausted from running for a long time.
“I guess that’s the only way.” Qin Huai carried the box on his back, his expression dark.
After a short while, the ground shook violently, and Qin Huai hurriedly turned his head to look.
The birds and beasts in the mountain forest were frightened away, and dust flew up.
Cheng Li led several hundred cavalrymen behind him in pursuit.
“Overseer Cheng, there might be some misunderstanding!” Sun Yuanshan shouted. “We don’t have any grudges between us, so why would I poison you?”
He then looked at Qin Huai and asked his disciple to help him think of what he would say next.
Qin Huai, who was at the side, understood tacitly. He mustered up his energy and said loudly, “The person who poisoned you is definitely not us. We, master and disciple, are upright people who cultivate and practice martial arts.”
Sun Yuanshan was stunned. He looked at Qin Huai, who had a serious expression, in a daze. This disciple of his was indeed like the waves in the Yangtze River that surpassed the waves in front, slapping himself onto the shore.
However, Sun Yuanshan continued to shout, “Lord Cheng, don’t pay attention to those rumors!”
“Is the poison I ate fake? Did I, the grand Pingnan military governor, eat poison to frame you?” Cheng Li sneered and didn’t listen to Sun Yuanshan and his partner’s explanation. He just wanted a passable excuse to get himself out of this.
As for the life and death of these people, he didn’t care. It was a pity that Lord Song cared, and he had to serve him well.
“You colluded with Hu Guanpan with the intention of overturning Lingjiang county. Your crimes are unforgivable! All the evidence has been conclusive! General Song has already given the order to execute all of you Hu Guanpan rebels!” Cheng Li’s voice was cold.
Qin Huai and Sun Yuanshan frowned when they heard this. He was determined to kill them all and did not want to know the truth at all.
“Master, I have a plan to draw them away.” Qin Huai had already made his decision. “From his words, he’s talking about the forces that wanted to kill Hu Guanpan. I’ll lead Hu Jinghai away!”
Qin Huai looked at the group of junior brothers and sisters behind him. Some of them had already started to fall behind.
As for Cheng Li’s cavalry, even though they were blocked by the mountain forest, they were still approaching them at a rapid speed.
