Chapter 229-Awakening
Chapter 229-Awakening
Fu Zhenghong brought them to an abandoned house. He waited at the door for a while, making sure that the pursuers had not caught up, then turned around and looked at the other two.
He was surprised to see Shen Shuyuan covered in wounds and Ji Qiuyue in a mess.
"How did you get into this situation?" he asked.
Shen Shuyuan and Ji Qiuyue looked at each other, and Shen Shuyuan told them the whole story in detail.
After listening to this, Fu Zhenghong asked, "What about Qingling?"
"He went after Ye Xu." Shen Shuyuan said, "But I'm afraid it won't be that easy to catch him."
Fu Zhenghong's face looked bad, and he told them what he had heard.
Shen Shuyuan and the others only knew that Song Yu was kidnapped, but they didn't know how he was kidnapped.
Now that I know, I can understand Qingling’s rage.
"Then what should we do now?" Ji Qiuyue asked.
Without waiting for an answer, she added, "I'm going to save Song Yu."
Fu Zhenghong pondered for a moment and said, "You just said that Ye Xu told Qingling to wait for him at Wuji Mountain, so let's go to Wuji Mountain too."
"What should we do about Qingling?" Shen Shuyuan asked.
Fu Zhenghong said, "He will definitely go. We don't need to wait for him. We can just go directly and meet up with him later."
"Okay, then we... set off tomorrow." Ji Qiuyue originally wanted to say that they would set off tonight, but suddenly remembered that Shen Shuyuan was injured and she was in such a mess, it was impossible for her to leave like this, so she changed her mind.
"Okay, I have to go to Li's house again." Fu Zhenghong said.
"But there are so many pursuers now, what if we are discovered by them?" Ji Qiuyue was worried.
Fu Zhenghong said: "I have to go this time. I will be careful not to let anyone find out. I must know exactly what Ye Xu is trying to do."
There was no clue before, but now, he knew that since the head of the Li family was cooperating with Ye Xu, he must know his purpose.
So, they split into two groups, Shen Shuyuan and Ji Qiuyue stayed here to recuperate, and Fu Zhenghong went to explore Li's mansion again.

Song Yu was dreaming again. She dreamed that she was on a boat, which was shaking and not very stable.
He opened his eyes and looked at the wood above his head, feeling a little dazed, and suddenly sat up.
But after a nap, he went from the secret room to the carriage?
The carriage was on its way, and the sound of wheels creaking on the road could be heard.
The carriage was not very spacious, and besides her, there was also Ye Xuan in the carriage.
Ye Xuan closed her eyes and sat in her seat.
Song Yu was lying in the middle of the carriage just now. This time she woke up and sat on the seat.
"Where are we going?" Song Yu asked.
Ye Xuan opened her eyes and looked at her.
Song Yu reached back to pull back the car curtain and take a look at the situation outside. Then he heard Ye Xuan say, "I advise you not to move if you want to stay alive."
Song Yu's outstretched hand froze in mid-air, and he withdrew it awkwardly.
She listens to advice and eats her fill; she is not a stubborn person.
"Where are we going?" she asked again.
"Wuji Mountain." Ye Xuan replied.
After hearing this, Song Yu showed a puzzled expression at first, then surprised: "Wuji Mountain is the place where Qingling and Fu Zhenghong dueled?"
Ye Xuan said, "Yes."
Song Yu asked, "Why do you want to go there?"
"Let's get this over with." Ye Xuan said.
"It's over, it's over," Song Yu repeated stutteringly, looking at Ye Xuan's expression.
There wasn't much fluctuation, as if he was really just stating the answer.
Song Yu thought for a moment and said, "Why does it have to end? Wouldn't it be nice for everyone to live in peace?"
When Ye Xuan heard her question, she finally looked at her straight in the eye.
"Live in peace? Is there any chance of living in peace now? Aren't you sworn to not give up until you catch Ye Xu?" Ye Xuan said.
Song Yu said: "He killed so many people for no reason. He should have had a good ending."
Ye Xuan asked, "A good ending? What is a good ending? Who defines good and bad? If someone can't even decide their own life, how can they decide what's good and what's bad?"
Song Yu looked at her for a long time without saying anything. His original guess in his mind once again leaned towards the truth.
She opened her mouth, wanting to ask something, but when she got to the point, she didn't dare.
She was afraid that she would guess wrong, but also afraid that she would guess right.
"You, are you, are you awakened?" Song Yu swallowed, her heart beating like a drum. No one could understand her nervousness at the moment.
When Ye Xuan heard this, she didn't move or answer. Just when Song Yu thought he was wrong.
Then Ye Xuan said, "Awakening! That's quite apt!"
Song Yu's eyes widened in an instant, and his heart felt as if it had been hit by a bullet.

Fu Zhenghong held up his sword and looked coldly at the man who collapsed to the ground in fear in front of him.
"If you tell me what I want to know, I won't kill you," said Fu Zhenghong.
"You, what do you want to know?" the man asked, shaking his body.
Fu Zhenghong asked: "What kind of deal did you make with Ye Xu?"
Just as the man was about to speak, Fu Zhenghong said again: "If you dare to lie, I will kill you with one sword." After saying that, he swung his hand and directly split the table next to him with a sword.
The man saw it and trembled with fear: "I dare not, I dare not, I dare not."
"explain."
"I, I said, I made a deal with him. I gave him the golden armor, and he could introduce me to someone in the royal family, so that I could make the Li family an imperial merchant."
"Do you trust him so much?" Fu Zhenghong asked.
The man said, "He, he has a token from the King of Huai. He said that if I hand over the golden armor, the King of Huai will agree to cooperate with my Li family."
After hearing this, Fu Zhenghong's face turned ugly. Ye Xu was actually colluding with the court.
"What does Ye Xu want the golden armor for?" Fu Zhenghong asked again.
A hint of hesitation flashed across the man's face, and the next moment, a blood mark appeared on his neck.
This immediately calmed his restless heart: "I'll tell you, the golden armor can open the secret realm."
"Open the secret realm? What secret realm? How to open it?" Fu Zhenghong asked.
The man looked embarrassed: "I don't know this either." He was afraid that Fu Zhenghong would not believe him, so he emphasized: "I really don't know this. This is something passed down from my ancestors. I don't even know how Ye Xu knew this. We haven't passed it on to anyone else."
Fu Zhenghong stared at his face and could not see any signs of lying.
Just as he was about to put away his sword, another question occurred to him and he asked again, "How could the golden armor be the inner elixir of a snake?"
The man said, "Golden Armor is the name of the giant python. What is truly important is its inner elixir."
"Where did you get it? That giant python." Fu Zhenghong asked.
The man shook his head: "I don't know, I really don't know. Family rumors say that the ancestor received help from an immortal and it was a special gift."
"How do you use it to make money?" Fu Zhenghong asked.
"This, this is my family secret..." The man didn't seem to want to say it.
And his attitude was two points more resolute than before.
