Zhu Tian: Starting from the Laughing Proud Yue Buqun

Chapter 336 The Great Victory in Lingnan, the Defeat of the Song Clan
A man rushed into the hall, shouting in panic about the attack by the Four Great Bandits.

Shang Xiuxun frowned. The Four Bandits were four major bandit groups in the vicinity who had been eyeing her Pegasus Ranch for a long time and frequently harassed her.

So annoying!

"Wanwan, go and kill those so-called Four Great Bandits."

Xu Qing said that the four bandits could be dealt with by Wanwan alone.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Wanwan stood up, and in a flash, she disappeared from the hall.

In just over ten breaths, Wanwan returned.

"Your Majesty, it's been resolved," Wanwan said casually.

Shang Xiuxun and the man who brought the news were both stunned.

Is this solved?
Those were the Four Great Bandits!
All four are masters at the Innate Grandmaster level, and they also have many powerful subordinates under their command.

How could this woman have taken care of him in such a short time?!
The man who delivered the message swallowed hard; such a beautiful woman, yet her strength was also so terrifying.

Shang Xiuxun was also amazed; no wonder she was a woman who followed the Sui Emperor.

The four bandits who had been troubling her for so long were dealt with so easily.

"Thank you, Miss Wanwan, and thank you, Your Majesty, for ridding my Pegasus Ranch of a great scourge!"

Shang Xiuxun stepped forward to express his gratitude.

Xu Qing waved his hand, he still needed the Pegasus Ranch to transport warhorses for him and breed more strong horses to strengthen his army.

We cannot allow some petty scoundrels to run rampant.

"Go prepare the warhorses," Xu Qing waved his hand.

"According to the order!"

Shang Xiuxun had no objection to this, and her impression of the Sui Emperor had changed considerably.

The legendary Sui emperor was so ruthless and tyrannical that anyone who opposed him was exterminated along with their entire family.

However, in retrospect, the Sui emperor was not an unreasonable person.

The rumors are not entirely true.

After staying at Pegasus Ranch for several days, Xu Qing returned to the capital city of Daxing.

In addition to Wanwan from the beginning, the followers also included the Evil Emperor Xiang Yutian and Lu Miaozi.

And Shang Xiuxun, the owner of the beautiful venue, followed behind with a large group of strong and powerful horses.

During this time, Xu Qing also received good news.

Lingnan was captured by Li Shimin's army a day earlier.

The Song Clan was defeated; in that battle, all 30,000 of their elite troops perished.

The Song clan disintegrated, and its enormous power collapsed in a single day.

Originally, the battle was at a stalemate. The Song Clan's army had been sharpening its swords for decades, and Song Zhi's leadership skills were not weak.

Meanwhile, the Song dynasty forces, having been well-rested and ready to fight, initially held the upper hand.

However, with the return of Li Yuanba, the number one war god of the Li clan, he joined the battlefield like an unstoppable meat grinder.

He easily defeated the Song army, single-handedly chasing after tens of thousands of troops.

His strength was so great that no one could withstand the force of his hammer blow.

A mere glancing blow can result in serious injury, while a direct hit can be fatal.

As the leader of the Song Clan, Song Zhi barely managed to take a blow and was almost smashed into a pulp.

If it weren't for his younger brother Song Lu risking his life to save him, Song Zhi would have already lost his life.

The tide of war was turned completely from that point on, and the Song clique suffered a total defeat.

A large number of Song dynasty nobles fled in all directions.

Li Shimin ordered his army to pursue and kill them. He clearly remembered Xu Qing's instructions to him: to exterminate the entire Song clan.

Not a single one can be left behind.

…………

In a mountain ridge in Lingnan, Song Zhi, supported by Song Shidao, the young master of the Song clan, and Song Yuzhi, hid in a cave.

"Second Uncle, let's rest here for the night."

Song Shidao carefully helped Song Zhi lean against the mountain wall. This young master from a noble family was disheveled and covered in blood.

His sister, Song Yuzhi, who was standing next to him, was the same.

The two of them fought with all their might to break through the encirclement with Song Zhi and hide in the mountains.

"Yuzhi, I'll need you to keep watch outside while I help my second uncle heal!"

Looking at the exhausted Song Yuzhi, Song Shidao felt a pang of pity, but this was the only arrangement he could make.

Song Yuzhi nodded: "Leave it to me."

She carried a long knife and walked out of the cave.

"Second Uncle, hang in there! I'll help you heal right away!"

Song Shidao helped him up and faced Song Zhi. As he circulated his internal energy, invisible true energy lifted Song Zhi's palms. Then, their palms joined together, and streams of true energy flowed into Song Zhi's body to help heal his injuries.

Song Yuzhi squatted on a large rock outside the cave, her eyes red and swollen, gazing in the direction of the Song Clan Castle.

Even from such a great distance, a faint red glow could be seen illuminating the night sky.

That was the Song Family Fortress that was set on fire; her family was finished.

Without Song Que, the Song Clan collapsed.

Song Yuzhi harbored great resentment towards her father for provoking the Sui Emperor; otherwise, Song Que would not have died.

The Song dynasty will not be destroyed because of this.

"Father, why do you insist on opposing the Sui Emperor?!"

Song Yuzhi gazed at the night sky, blaming Song Que.

…………

"Quick! They're just ahead; they must have entered this mountain!"

"If we can kill the young master of the Song clan and Song Zhi, we will have accomplished a great feat!"

At this moment, a force of nearly a hundred men rushed into the forest where Song Yuzhi and the others were hiding.

Song Yuzhi was immersed in sadness and resentment, but as the pursuers became more and more active, her thoughts were pulled back to reality.

"Oh no! The pursuers have caught up with us here!"

Song Yuzhi's expression changed, and she glanced at the cave.

"We can't let the pursuers find this place!"

Song Shidao was healing Song Zhi's injuries, and it was a time when he should not be disturbed.

She made a decision immediately, grabbed her knife, and rushed toward the place where the pursuers were making noise.

Song Yuzhi hid in a large tree, gripping her long sword tightly. As the pursuers approached, she attacked fiercely, unleashing a horizontal slash that devastated her true energy, severing the bodies of ten people.

"Ah! Kill her!"

"Come on!"

The commander of the unit shouted and responded, brandishing a large sword.

The soldiers around him quickly surrounded him.

"You will all die!" Song Yuzhi's killing intent was astonishing, unleashing all his power.

However, she had exhausted herself during the previous breakout and had not yet recovered. In addition, she was in a state of extreme physical and mental fatigue.

Numerous knife wounds gradually appeared on his body.

"She's dying! Kill her and you'll be rewarded with a hundred taels of silver!" the general shouted again.

The soldiers' eyes gleamed, as if they wanted to devour Song Yuzhi alive.

However, at that moment, four figures suddenly appeared, their sword and saber energies sweeping across the four directions.

In an instant, many soldiers who had surrounded and attacked Song Yuzhi fell to the ground, their heads separated from their bodies.

Then, the four figures didn't stop at all and attacked the soldiers again, showing no mercy. Every sword and every knife contained absolute killing intent.

"Who are you!?"

The general was terrified.

"Kill your people!"

The man wielding the sharp blade slashed down, and the ten-meter-long blade aura cleaved the general in two.

Song Yu was stunned; these people were all masters at the grandmaster level!

Two men and two women, all highly skilled in martial arts.

The hundred pursuers were wiped out in just a few breaths.

The moonlight shone on the four people's faces, revealing their true appearances.

The two men were handsome and young, looking like teenagers, while the two women were stunningly beautiful.

“You guys are!?”

Song Yuzhi watched the four people warily.

"Don't be nervous, we're here to help you."

Kou Zhong sheathed his longsword and revealed a faint smile.

The newcomers were none other than Shuanglong, Shi Feixuan, Fu Junyu, and others.

Upon learning that the Song clan had been attacked by the Li clan, they rushed to Lingnan without stopping.

Song Que acted on behalf of the Buddhist sect because of his connection with Cihang Jingzhai, but now the Song clan is in trouble.

Shi Feixuan had no reason not to help, and Shuanglong also respected Tiandao's loyalty, so the four of them rushed over to help the Song Clan.

Unfortunately, they arrived too late; the Song clan had already been defeated.
