Chapter 53 Loyal Soul and Strong Bones
"Come on people!"

Seeing that the situation was not going well, Mo Jinzhan shouted in horror.

Soon, a shield wall three people high was built in front of him.

Just when Mo Jinzhan thought he could finally breathe a sigh of relief, Gu Zhangyi's long sword hit the shield with a "dang" sound.

"Having been hiding for so many years, Mo, are you still going to be a coward?"

Gu Zhangyi only heard a lion's roar, and the sword in his hand had passed straight through the center of one of the shields.

"Crack-"

The shield instantly fell apart, revealing a gap.

The soldier holding the shield also had his throat sealed with a sword. Before he could fall down, Gu Zhangyi had already stepped on his head and leapt towards Mo Jinzhan.

"Come here! Whoever blocks him will be heavily rewarded!"

Seeing that the situation was not going well, Mo Jinzhan turned around and was about to leave.

"Mo Jinzhan! You turtle grandson!"

Gu Zhangyi was surrounded by his soldiers and yelled curses.

"Get out of the way! Get out of the way! Anyone who stands in my way will die!"

Mo Jinzhan had no intention of dealing with Gu Zhangyi, he only wanted to escape.

He rushed all the way towards the other exit of the alleyway, not caring about the life or death of the remaining soldiers.

"Master, leave this to us!"

The young man shouted loudly and rushed into the siege with a halberd in hand.

One person holding a halberd has the potential to sweep through thousands of armies, making them unstoppable in an instant.

The Mu Cang army behind him was also extremely brave, and they were not even comparable to Mo Jinzhan's men.

"Qian'er, I leave this place to you!"

Gu Zhangyi leapt onto the wall, climbed over the eaves and walls, and soon arrived in front of Mo Jinzhan.

He held the banner of Mucang Army and thrust it into the bluestone!
The bluestone cracked and the military flag stood.

The military flag rustled against the wind and rain, and flew thousands of miles into the sky with the wind.

He held a long sword and stood under the banner, blocking Mo Jinzhan in front of him.

Mo Jinzhan's horse was frightened by the movement. It howled and then raised its front hoof, knocking Mo Jinzhan off.

"Beast! Even you can't be trusted!"

Mo Jinzhan stood up with difficulty and looked at Gu Zhangyi sternly.

In his pupils, Gu Zhangyi was walking towards him step by step with a long sword in hand.

The long sword scratched across the bluestone, creating bursts of sparks. The harsh sound destroyed Mo Jinzhan's last desire for survival.

"If you let me go, these soldiers in my hands will all belong to you."

Mo Jinzhan stepped back and begged.

Gu Zhangyi raised his sword and pierced his knee.

"pain--"

Mo Jinzhan wailed and knelt on the ground.

The rain hit his wound, causing a heartbreaking pain.

——"This sword is for General Shen!"

Gu Zhangyi raised his hand again and thrust his sword into Mo Jinzhan's right shoulder again!
Mo Jinzhan let out a miserable howl, his eyes filled with fear.

——"This sword is for the souls of those brothers from Xuanwu Sect!"

Gu Zhangyi took a step closer to Mo Jinzhan, raised his sword again, and pierced his heart with one sword!
——"This sword is for all the soldiers of Mu Cang Army who served the country loyally but suffered injustice!"

Gu Zhangyi's veins were exposed, he looked up to the sky and shouted!

However, when he was not paying attention, Mo Jinzhan tried his best, tremblingly took out a hidden weapon from his arms, and threw it towards Gu Zhangyi when he was not prepared!

"Tsk—" The concealed weapon penetrated Gu Zhangyi's chest, and for a moment, blood splattered in all directions.

His spine twitched violently. He covered his chest with his hand and held the flagpole tightly with his other hand.

"Master—"

"Old man—"

Shen Jiangge and Gu Qian shouted almost at the same time, and they both ran quickly in the direction of Gu Zhangyi.

However, Gu Zhangyi's hand that was tightly holding the flagpole kept sliding down, leaving shocking blood stains on the flagpole.

He forced his body to stand up straight, but in the end he knelt down under the big flag with a "dong" sound.

A thunder crackled in the sky, and crisscrossing lightning scattered in the sky behind him. And he, kneeling between heaven and earth, in the wind and rain, and under this flag, was like a tower that would never fall. down the mountain.

Towering and magnificent.

His cloudy eyes seemed to become clear at this moment, as if there was a light in front of him, giving him yearning and relief.

His noble head lowered slowly, with a happy smile on his wrinkled face. Slowly, slowly, he closed his eyes.

The bright red flag was raised high above him, like an eternal song of victory, dedicated only to the fearless and heroic warriors.

——"With a long sword in hand, we fight in all directions. Wearing armor, we are loyal to our souls. The strong wind is blowing, and we return to our hometown. We look up to the sky and roar, burying our lonely souls..."

He used his last bit of strength to close his eyes and murmur softly, until he finally lost his voice...

Shen Jiangge stood in front of him and heard the military song again. She was stunned on the spot, unable to calm down the shock in her heart for a long time.

——How deep is the faith that can make a person never forget it from a young age to a gray-haired person?And how deep a military spirit is required for someone to die generously and bury their bones in a foreign country?

Shen Jiangge looked at Gu Zhangyi, who had passed away suddenly, and cast his eyes on his calloused hands.

Even when he died, he still held that flag tightly in his hands.

In other words, it is his unfulfilled dream and passionate belief.

Gu Qian had already cried in tears while hugging Gu Zhangyi, and the heart-rending roars pierced the sky, making people extremely sad.

Mo Jinzhan had already fallen into the mud, his heart was fixed in the bluestone with a sharp sword, and what he held tightly in his hand was the token he had brought out from the palace.

He never gave up the game of chasing power even until his death.

Shen Jiangge stood in the wind and rain, looking at everything in front of her, unable to take another step forward.

The world is boundless, and someone must redress the grievances of the previous generation.

Someone must tell the world with pride that they are warriors with loyal souls and strong bones, not treacherous ministers and traitors.

Shen Jiangge clenched his fists tightly, his eyes turned red.

——"Mother, Uncle Li, Senior Li, Senior Gu, and the entire Mu Cang Army, I, Shen Jiangge, will definitely get this justice for you. Even if the road ahead is difficult and dangerous, even if it means taking my life, I’ll do the same!”

The wind gradually became lighter.

The rain is about to stop.

The dark clouds in the sky gradually dispersed, and a little bit of starlight could still be seen here and there.

That little bit of starlight seemed lonely but particularly dazzling in this dark night.

Ji Yuhan stood behind her and looked at her.

She stood for a long time, and so did he.

He still didn't leave until the men led by Ji Ling broke into the city and found them.

The wind and rain have dissipated, and people are starting to clean up the alley. It's obviously a good ending.

But Ji Yuhan understood Shen Jiangge's thoughts at that moment.

——Perhaps, this time, seeing Mu Cangjun’s impact on her with her own eyes was not just as simple as hatred, right?
Or maybe, after this battle, it will be difficult for him to get close to her again...

"Shen Jiangge, if we hadn't met each other, wouldn't we be so sad for each other...?
There is an unknown wild flower trembling in the wind in the cracks of the bluestone slab, blooming quietly next to Ji Yuhan's feet.

One touch, a light floral scent.

soothe.
