One person, one sword, I have guarded the lonely city for 70 years

Chapter 67 Killing the Imperial Commissioner
Shi Zishuo was pierced through the chest with a sword. Although he didn't die on the spot, he also lost his ability to resist, bleeding from the corner of his mouth, and said in horror:

"How did you see my body at a glance..."

"Hehe, you don't feel like a master of martial arts, so you still want to accept me as an apprentice? Let your master practice again."

Song Yun pulled out the bronze sword, swung it with a slash, forced back several officials who came up to rescue, and stepped down hard at the same time.

With a bang, Shi Zishuo was covered with armor, and was stepped on the ground by Song Yun. The wound on his chest shook, and his cheeks twitched in pain.

Sensing the cold murderous intent in the eyes of the young man in white, Shi Zishuo panicked.

"Don't do anything! I am the commander of the Habayashi Army. If you kill me, you will be an enemy of the Tang court..."

Song Yun raised his foot and stomped down again, Shi Zishuo snorted in pain, and obediently closed his mouth.

"Let me ask you, why are you hostile to me? Don't quibble, you are already in the realm of a master, and many things can be sensed."

Shi Zishuo opened his mouth, still hesitating, but when he saw the bronze sword falling from above, he quickly confessed:
"The Beiting Army back then..."

"Okay, you don't need to talk about it." Song Yun shook his head, and the sword continued to cut Shi Zishuo's throat downward.

The general of the Habayashi army opened his eyes wide, with a shocked expression, as if he still didn't believe that he had just killed him.

"Hey, the old guys have made a lot of enemies in the country, how can this be messed up..."

Song Yun kicked the corpse away and turned to look at the eunuch and the others.

"You, how dare you kill the imperial envoy! You are rebelling!" The eunuch retreated, threatening tremblingly, "Once the news gets out, the imperial court will never spare you!"

"Thank you for the reminder, then if I kill you all, won't the news be blocked?" Song Yun swung his sword and cut down with a smile...

Two people were kept alive and interrogated.

"If I don't accept the order, you will take me away by force? Whose idea is this?"

"Yes, it's several Zhen Guo venerables."

"I know, who exactly?"

Tang officials obediently confessed: "Duke Li, and the suzerain of Tiangang Sect are the orders of these two, and of course His Majesty the King of Tang also agrees."

"A martial sage and two ghosts... are really interested in me." Song Yun sneered and asked again:
"Jing Guo is still attacking Tang recently? Where is he attacking?"

"Longyou Dao, the armies of the two countries are now concentrated in Longyou to fight."

Song Yun narrowed his eyes slightly, "Did Jing Guo not fight Shuofang?"

"I fought once before, but retreated soon. There is no relevant news at present."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work. Remember not to go with people like Shi Zishuo when you go on a business trip in your next life."

The dark blue sword light flashed away.

[Warrior of the city, Song Yun, killed 1 sixth-level enemy, 11 fifth-level enemies, martial arts cultivation value +1]

[Current state: Tier [-] Martial Dao Grandmaster, mid-stage]

[Cultivation value required to advance to the late stage of Tier 4.9: 10/[-]]

When the sound of swinging the sword and screaming gradually died down, Song Yun was the only voice left in Anxi City.

"Before, it was forced to judge the rankings, and now it is forced to announce the decree. It seems that they are planning to forcefully recruit disciples? Alas, there are so many messes."

"All forces want to use me, use me as a pawn, right... Hehe, if you insist on provoking me, then you will be destroyed!"

Pile up more than a dozen corpses, pour some kerosene, and pass the torch upwards, and the blazing flames and billowing black smoke rise immediately.

The burnt smell that had gradually dissipated a while ago was permeating the city of Anxi again.

Song Yun checked the materials found from these people.

"The imperial seal didn't bring any good things, just a few bottles of pills? Poor haha."

He unfolded the imperial decree again and glanced at it a few times.

"When the weather is right, I am ordered by Ziming... It is so literary that it is really difficult to read."

After reading it twice, I found the only useful words-name myself "Kaiping County Son".

"If I kill 10,000+ enemies, I can seal a county? Forget it, there must be something wrong with the Tang court. The Beiting army... It seems that I can only rely on me to seek justice."

"I just don't know if Tang Guo can last until the day I go to settle accounts. Jing Jun and his gang are not easy to deal with."

Song Yun threw the imperial decree into the fire, quietly watching the brocade cloth curl and change color in the fire, gradually turning into black smoke...

A team of imperial envoys sent by the Tang Dynasty entered Anxi City, which was seen by the spies.

A grandmaster, with more than a dozen innates, was more than enough to charge into the battle. He just went to read out an imperial decree, but they all disappeared and never left Anxi again.

This bizarre incident was related to Song Yun, and also involved the war between Tang and Jing, which naturally attracted the attention of all countries.

Although Song Yun didn't say anything, he didn't prohibit the spies from investigating the information, which made many people vaguely guess some truths.

"I heard that the king of Tang is only willing to be made a viscount? The problem of the Beiting army has not been resolved, no wonder."

The Tang court was furious, and the ministers didn't expect that the win-win situation would turn out like this, and they were all dumbfounded.

As for how to deal with Song Yun, some said that he should be severely punished, and some said that he should be gentle, but they still couldn't come up with specific countermeasures.

After all, the current main energy of the imperial court is devoted to the war against Jingguo, and there is no time for others.

When other countries heard the news, they were all moved.

Song Yun was already an enemy of Jing Guo, even if there was a "truce", it would only be temporary, as long as Jing Guo freed his hand, he would definitely kill him.

I thought that Song Yun was from the Tang Kingdom, and was protected by the powerful people of the Tang Kingdom.

As a result, the young man actually killed the imperial envoy of the Tang Dynasty, including a closed disciple of the Martial Saint.

This offends the two major powers today.

Such a genius must find another way out, and opportunities for other countries will come.

Liang, Chen, and Cai in the south, Liao, and Lu in the east—these five major countries sent people to Anxi one after another in an attempt to recruit Song Yun.

They were much more polite than the imperial envoys of the Tang Dynasty. Xu Yizhong's profit was directly promised by the martial sage in the middle school, and he was going to spend a lot of money to train this martial arts genius.

Song Yun was also warmly entertained, and they came to chat with each other, and they all showed signs of excitement.

This lifted the spirits of the envoys from various countries, and hurried back to discuss more specific solicitation conditions.

……

In Gao Hanqing's hut, Meng Huo was tightly bound, motionless, and fell into a deep sleep, but the eyeballs under his eyelids were rolling around, as if he was dreaming.

After the envoys finished talking and left, he slowly opened his eyes and asked Song Yun next door in doubt:
"Since you chose to take refuge in one side, why don't you go directly to the Tang country? Although the Tang country has fallen, its martial arts heritage is still there, and it is stronger than other countries."

"Even if you don't like Tang Guo, why do you have to kill the imperial envoy and completely offend him to death?"

If it is other martial arts geniuses, it may be explained as youthful and impulsive.

But Meng Huo knew that this young man was very cunning, and he would not do useless work at all.

After making this movement, he was definitely planning something.

Song Yun glanced at the next door meaningfully, and began to select dozens of medicinal materials from the supplies, and boiled them in a pot.

At the same time he chuckled, "For diplomacy, it's important to have a long-distance friendship and a short-term attack. Jingguo and Tangguo are the closest to me, so naturally it's not easy to get along peacefully.

Blindfolded stared wide-eyed, as if listening to a fairy tale, "Long-distance diplomatic relations and short-term attack? That's the country's strategy! You are all alone in a city, what kind of diplomacy are you doing?"

"One person, one city is enough."

A pot of sticky medicinal soup was ready, Song Yun carried a bowl to the next door, and forced Meng Huo to drink it.

"Ahem, what medicine did you give me? According to the agreement, you can't kill me!"

Meng Huo coughed a few times, felt dizzy, and his senses became much duller.

"You are not dead, this medicine is to make you more honest, don't play tricks."

"I didn't play--" Menghuo tilted his head and fell into a coma.

Song Yun sized him up, then cut his wrist with a sword, and squeezed out a bowl of blood.

Exercising the "Blood God Nahai Jue", he drew out the blood energy in the bowl, condensed it on his index finger, and pointed it at several acupuncture points on Meng Huo's body...
