656 Let Him Go (2/2)

”From a soldier in the City of Wei to where he is today, how many of us are there since the Tang Empire started? All these years, who isn't proud of him in the Northern Army? Who in the Nothern Military Camp does not take him as a fighting symbol and a role model?”

General Han Qing looked at the black carriage as he reminisced.

The lieutenant sighed and said, ”It is a pity that pretty women are the cause of all problems; a hero cannot get over lust. Ning Que is here today because of His Majesty and the Academy's nurturing. However, he doesn't care about the safety of the Tang Empire and the world. He insists on his own ways, being completely heartless and outrageous.”

At this moment, a gust of wind blew in Helan Mountain. The horse carriage's windows started billowing as the curtain danced, revealing a young girl's face. She looked incredibly normal with her short hair in a mess from the wind, just like a ball of wild grass.

General Han Qing looked at her and said, ”How is she a pretty woman, how is that a beauty?”

The lieutenant also saw the girl's face and was a little shocked. He kept silent for a moment before saying, ”It seems like Ning Que is a righteous person after all. Even though he chose the wrong person, he is deserving of admiration.”

General Han Qing said, ”Whoever can impress His Majesty is naturally something.”

Just as they left the defense perimeter of Helan City, Ning Que let the big black horse accelerate. They stepped on the cold floor and followed the narrow mountain range of Helan and traveled towards the east.

The snow-capped peaks of the mountain range didn't pass by quickly through their vision. The cliffs near them had already become a grey line that swept past them. One can only imagine how fast the black horse carriage was moving.

Sangsang was a little shocked and had no idea why they were suddenly accelerating. Ning Que saw her expression but didn't reply. He concentrated on steering the horse carriage in silence, pushing its speed to the limit.

Ning Que needed speed now.

From the start of Shubi Lake, the black horse carriage had entered the range of the Tang Empire's traditional sphere of influence. The cultivators from the Buddhism and Taoism Sect were not able to chase and kill like they did at the start due to various fears.

But no one would give up. There were countless forces that were watching them, guessing the route of the black horse carriage. The patch of dark clouds in the sky and the dozen or so black crows were reporting their locations at every moment. When the black horse carriage had arrived in Helan City, many people would have already guessed where they were heading.

After the mountain range of Helan City, they would enter the Eastern Wilderness and away from the Tang's sphere of influence. There were countless forces in the Wilderness. Left King's Palace, the West-Hill Divine Palace coalition army, the Desolate Man's tribe. They were all gathered together.

Ning Que had no idea who would be waiting for them in the Wilderness after they cross this mountain range. Hence, no matter how quickly the black horse carriage traveled, it seemed pointless. So, why did he choose this way?

The dark clouds landed on the silver mask, making it seemed even darker.

Long Qing looked at the dark heavy cloud in the sky that was coming from the west. The mask left his mouth exposed; its corners were slowly lifted and said, ”The ending of your story should of course be written by me.”

After that, he lowered his head and continued writing his letter. The soft pen tip didn't stop moving on the paper. He drew a map, almost like an attacking blueprint for the city gates of some big city. He then wrote a few simple lines.

Using lacquer to seal the letter, he handed it over to a cavalry commander of the West-Hill Divine Palace and said calmly, ”When you reach the capital city of Cheng, hand him this letter personally and tell him if the chance presents itself, we need to grasp it.”

The fallen knight commander accepted the orders. He turned and mounted his horse to speed towards the south.

As the henchman of Prince Long Qing, he had only found out this secret a few days ago. Thinking back to the discussions in the world back then, he couldn't help but think it was a little cold and his admiration for Prince Long Qing increased.

Prince Long Qing looked at the horse riding away and kept silent for a long time. He realized he had a strange distant feeling for his birth country and couldn't help but shake his head.

His journey was the field of light and darkness, as it was in the mortal world.

He walked slowly to the edge of the cliff. Looking at the exit of the mountain that was around 10 feet wide, his expression slowly calmed down.

Behind him were over ten cultivators that were at the peak of the Seethrough state. There were 2 other old men that were dressed in ordinary clothes and looked ordinary. On the Wilderness not far away, there were also over 3,000 cavalry troops from the Left King's Palace.

Moving so many people to write the black horse carriage's ending. Prince Long Qing felt he was showing enough respect to the two people in the horse carriage.

The dark clouds in the skies were already higher than the snow-capped peaks. They penetrated deep into the center of the Wilderness.

The hoofbeats were hurried as the black horse carriage under the clouds finally made it out of the mountain ranges of Helan. It reached the Wilderness, right into Long Qing's view, before coming slowly to a stop.

Long Qing sat atop his horse and looked at the black horse carriage at the foot of the slope. He extended his hand and took down the silver mask, showing off his burned cheek. He smiled slightly, looking extremely ferocious.
