Chapter 329 Stayed Together
Beihai had a long night.
When the night was about to pass, Wang Tianzong returned from Lin’an to Mount Dibing.
The lights on Mount Dibing were shining.
The bright and dazzling light completely dispelled the deepest darkness at night before the daybreak. It was shining like a curtain, sprinkling every corner of the mountain.
From the foot of the mountain to the foothills, there were people everywhere. The whole Wang family of Beihai’s internal forces were moving. The strong light was shining everywhere. In the dark curtain of night, there were no shadows all over the mountain.
It was silent before Emperor Hall.
This was the place focused by the lights. But everyone nearby had intentionally or unintentionally circumvented it.
The rockery and garden in front of the hall had completely disappeared. After the war, everything was cleaned and looked extremely empty. Three middle-aged men dressed in the Beihai Province standard military uniforms looked pale and sweaty, kneeling in front of the quiet main hall.
Wang Tianzong, who just came back and saw this scene, suddenly became depressed.
The Sword Energy at the top of the mountain had dissipated. But there was still a residue of the fierce sword intent. Wang Tianzong felt all this. His strength seemed to be gradually disappearing. He silently stood still and did not move for a long time.
The elites of the internal security forces came and went.
Finally, someone saw Wang Tianzong and instinctively saluted him by calling him His Majesty.
More and more people came.
The atmosphere of dignity and chill was spreading on Mount Dibing.
Wang Tianzong’s head was squeaking. He only felt that countless figures in front of him kept shaking, which made his perfect mental state over many years fall in chaos. And the light seemed so glaring that he could not see everything clearly.
“His Majesty...”
“His Majesty...”
Countless people shouted besides his ears, which was like a mess.
Wang Tianzong finally returned to himself.
In front of him, the elites of the internal defense forces had already kneeled on the ground. Everyone wore a complex facial expression that was a kind of mixture of shame and mysterious fear.
Wang Tianzong took a deep breath.
His expression was calm, and the light in the depths of his eyes was restored to calmness.
He was Sword Emperor of the Wang family of Beihai.
The emperor was not free from fear and cowardice.
But under the light, what the emperor could have was just majesty.
“Do what you should do,” Wang Tianzong said and slowly moved to his own palace.
The three middle-aged people who were kneeling under the hall became more and more nervous. Even a lot of sweat had already oozed from their foreheads.
The military uniforms of the three men were the styles modified by the Wang family of Beihai. But the ranks on the shoulders were the same as those of Zhongzhou State. One Lieutenant General and two Major Generals were the three main leaders of the Wang family of Beihai’s internal security forces. They were the vassals of the Wang family of Beihai, but they were still the generals of Zhongzhou State even out of Beihai Province. In theory, in any place in Zhongzhou State, they could have a position that matched their own rank after a transfer.
But now these three generals with real power were silently kneeling. Their expressions were even a little scared.
Wang Tianzong walked over to them.
The three generals lowered their heads, and the sweat on their foreheads had fallen to the ground.
“Stand up,” Wang Tianzong said.
The three did not get up.
The head Lieutenant General moved his mouth and said in a hoarse voice, “His Majesty...”
“What’s going on?” Wang Tianzong looked at the Lieutenant General in front and asked indifferently.
“Wu Qiu, you are my brother. Stand up and talk.”
The commander of the internal defense force Wu Qiu, Lieutenant General of Beihai, was the most senior Half-step Invincible Realm expert in the Wang family of Beihai and the Patriarch of the Wu family, the wealthy family.
This was one of Wang Tianzong’s most trusted confidants. No matter what happened tonight, Wu Qiu was unlikely to participate in it. This was the most basic trust.
Wu Qiu’s face became reddish. He seemed a little excited but more shameful. He bit his teeth but did not get up. He said in a hoarse voice, “His Majesty, I am incompetent. A group of unexplained Thunder-shocking Realm experts sneaked into the top of the mountain. They attacked Madam by wearing some special equipment. This is my fault.”
Wang Tianzong’s pupils suddenly contracted.
“A group of Thunder-shocking Realm experts sneaked into the top of the mountain?” he asked softly after remaining silent for a moment.
“Yes.”
The voice of Wu Qiu was full of embarrassment and awkwardness.
The internal security forces were stationed at the foot of the mountain and at the mountainside. Only a small number of elite troops were stationed at the top of the mountain. The enemy suddenly attacked at the top of the mountain. The internal security forces did not have enough time to support them after they realized it. It seemed that the responsibility of the internal security forces was not so great in this case.
But it was the dereliction of duty of the internal security forces for allowing the enemy to sneak into the top of the mountain.
Not to mention the monitoring of the internal security forces, which could cover every corner outside the mountain, for the guests who traveled to and from Mount Dibing on weekdays, the internal security forces had a duty of strict scrutiny.
They attacked the hostess of the Wang family of Beihai on the top of the mountain.
This was completely unbelievable before.
“Wu Qi, you have been neglecting your duty these years,” Wang Tianzong said in a low voice after staying silent for a long while.
Wu Qiu, who kept sweating, calmed down and said in a low voice, “It is my dereliction of duty.”
“Get up.”
Wang Tianzong shook his head. “The internal security forces have to come up with a new plan to ensure the safety of Mount Dibing in the future. I will see this report within three days.”
“Yes!”
Wu Qiu stood up and deeply bowed.
The other two Major Generals were still kneeling in the same place and dared not move.
Wang Tianzong watched them.
He was silent for a while before he whispered, “I can trust Wu Qiu. But can I trust you?”
“His Majesty!”
The two Major Generals looked up at the same time and appeared terrified.
“Without the cover of the internal defense forces, the enemy could not sneak into Mount Dibing. And it is even impossible for them to bring equipment with them. Wu Qiu was not in Mount Dibing recently. This is his dereliction of duty. Dereliction of duty can be dealt with in the future. But betrayal must be resolved now.”
Wang Tianzong’s voice became softer and softer. Thick and cold killing intent slowly spread on him. “I don’t know which of you is the traitor. If you are willing to stand up, I can let your family go.”
The internal security forces were treated very well, but at the same time, had extremely strict disciplines. Ordinary officers, with the ranks below the Colonel, except for the elite stationed on the top of the mountain, were forbidden to go up the mountain on weekdays without transfer orders. As for the special equipment that was moved up to the mountain, it required the signatures of a commander and two deputy commanders of the internal security forces.
This was a loophole that could not be hidden.
The other party seemed to have no intention to hide it.
From the moment of attacking Summer Solstice, the other party had already regarded the dark chess arranged in the internal guards as an abandoned person.
At present, it seemed that the two Major Generals were suspects, at least the most likely suspects.
Wang Tianzong did not say what would happen if they did not admit it.
Summer Solstice was definitely his untouchable underscore.
If no one was willing to stand up, Wang Tianzong was even too lazy to check it. The two Major Generals and their families would all end up dead tonight.
Even if he killed the wrong one, he would ignore it.
They were silent.
In silence, a Major General suddenly moved.
He reached out his hand and took off the epaulette on his shoulder. He respectfully placed it in front of Wang Tianzong.
“His Majesty, please keep your promise and let go of my family.”
The Major General wiped the sweat from his forehead. His expression completely calmed down.
Wang Tianzong narrowed his eyes.
Wu Qiu’s facial expression was violently twisted, and he looked extremely angry. He still did not believe it. “Wang Xin? You dare to betray the Wang family of Beihai?!”
Wang Xin’s face was slightly pale. He sighed and just wanted to speak.
“He did not betray the Wang family of Beihai, but betrayed me,” Wang Tianzong said faintly.
Wang Xin was stunned and said nothing.
“Who?” asked Wang Tianzong.
Wang Xin smiled and shook his head. “His Majesty, I don’t know who they are. I just acted on the orders.”
“Whose orders?”
Wu Qiu grimly smiled and took a step forward unconsciously.
Wang Tianzong calmly stopped him.
Wang Xin’s expression became calmer and calmer. He looked at Wu Qiu and a bit of complexity flashed through his eyes. Then he laughed. “Commander, I acted on the orders. As for the person who gave the orders, I don’t mind saying it. But do you and His Majesty really want to hear?
“It is Wang...”
Wang Xin opened his mouth and just uttered three words. Then it suddenly fell into absolute silence in the space before Emperor Hall.
Wang Xin’s mouth was still moving. He seemed to want to say that name out.
But the space around him had been completely distorted. Even his mouth became completely out of shape. He tried to say something, but he could not speak and his mouth shape could not be recognized.
One after another, the bloodstreams were shot from his body.
Wang Xin seemed to suffer tremendous pain, and his eyes became crazy in a moment.
“I can understand your thoughts, but there must be a bottom line for everything. Whoever dares to cross this line has to die.”
Wang Tianzong calmly added, “You are right. I really don’t want to listen to that. And there is no need to do so.”
There seemed to be seemingly absent sword intent in every corner around Wang Xin.
The blood spurted out in the sky. In the cold and fierce sword intent, Wang Xin’s entire body gradually turned into a pile of minced meat and eventually became nothingness in the Sword Energy.
Wu Qiu stood beside Wang Tianzong. His eyes were calm and cold.
“His Majesty, is that all done?”
Until Wang Xin’s body disappeared, Wu Qiu gnashed his teeth and asked.
“Not the right time yet.”
Wang Tianzong was silent for a while and shook his head.
He reached out his hand and the Major General’s epaulette on the ground fell in his hand.
He handed the epaulette to Wu Qiu and said plainly, “Find the proper person, let him bring it and then report to the Political Department of Zhongzhou State. Remember your plan. I want to see it as soon as possible.”
Wu Qiu took over the epaulette and responded with a consent.
Wang Tianzong turned and walked to the main hall.
“Let Xuan Ming come to see me,” he said this and placed his hand on the front door of Emperor Hall.
His movements were hesitant and his eyes were fearful and worried in the angle that Wu Qiu could not see.
The door of Emperor Hall was pushed away little by little.
Wang Tianzong walked in.
A lamp was lit in the bedroom in the hall.
The orange light illuminated the corner of the bedroom and looked warm.
The delicate body of Summer Solstice was curled up on the bed at this time. Her whole body was shaking uncontrollably, as if suffering enormous pain.
Wang Tianzong silently entered the bedroom, went to the bed, lifted the thick quilt that was out of season, and held Summer Solstice tightly in his arms.
The body of Summer Solstice was extremely cold. It seemed that there was no temperature on her body.
Wang Tianzong held her in his arms.
He was silent.
“Nothing serious.”
Summer Solstice took the initiative to speak. Her voice was a little trembling but very gentle. She smiled very reluctantly but looked very beautiful. “It is not very painful. I have not fought for so many years. So I am not used to this feeling.”
“Do you know who did it?” Wang Tianzong asked in a low voice.
His embrace became tighter and tighter, as if he wanted to give Summer Solstice all his warmth.
Lying in Wang Tianzong’s arms, Summer Solstice shook her head.
Wang Tianzong didn’t say anything.
There was no need to ask at all.
He remembered the woman who had been in Heaven Hall last night and sworn to let the Wang family of Beihai fall to hell.
His eyes became cold and icy.
“I feel cold,” Summer Solstice said softly.
Wang Tianzong hid the killing intent and hugged her to the maximum extent. He covered all the quilt on her.
“Nothing serious.”
Summer Solstice continued, “It will be good if the dawn comes. I don’t use the sword for many years, so my body can’t bear the sword intent. It’s really nothing. Even if there are more attacks like this, I will be fine. You used to spoil me too much. If I could fight from time to time, I might have adapted to it.”
“There will be no second time,” Wang Tianzong said in a heavy voice.
He let Summer Solstice fight from time to time?
Was he willing?
Summer Solstice.
This name had gradually been forgotten by the Dark World for many years. There was no longer her legend in the Dark World after the siege of Li Kuangtu in these years.
No one knew her current status.
Except for Wang Tianzong.
In the decades of the Wang family of Beihai, Summer Solstice was the only person who took the entire set of Immortality Potions.
The purpose of doing this was not to restore her injury.
It was to keep her alive.
This was Wang Tianzong’s decision in that year.
He just wanted to have Summer Solstice stay with him and shared the remaining life with him.
He did not care about combat capability. In his eyes, Summer Solstice, who quietly played with flowers and plants, was the most beautiful.
“Use one more set of Immortality Potions again,” Wang Tianzong whispered, his tone calm and simple.
It was as simple as letting Summer Solstice eat a piece of candy.
“Fool, it doesn’t work.”
Summer Solstice whispered, “And it’s not necessary. My injury can’t be recovered. When it’s dawn, I guess I will be okay.”
Wang Tianzong was silent.
He was very aware of the state of Summer Solstice.
On sword intent, Summer Solstice was still at the peak of the Invincible Realm. She was even more powerful than him.
On foundation, she was now only equivalent to an ordinary woman.
The war was too fierce and her foundation was destroyed in that year. If it hadn’t been for Immortality Potion, Summer Solstice would not even have lived for a year after the war. Although she survived successfully, her Martial Arts foundation was completely loose. As a result, the sword intent was still there, but her body was getting worse.
Simply put, Summer Solstice could still play the combat capability of the Invincible Realm.
But her battle strength was extremely limited and could not be restored.
If Summer Solstice at the peak used a sword, no one could win her, even if it was Wang Tianzong.
Her foundation was loose, so the sword intent was also limited.
Her sword intent was limited. Once it was used up, it could no longer be restored without foundation.
To some extent, the peak Invincible Realm of Summer Solstice was a consumable.
The cruelest consumable!
Her battle strength would gradually decrease with the increase in the number of fights. Without foundation, she would bring her extreme pain every time she used a sword.
Summer Solstice said that she would be fine at dawn.
At that time, perhaps only her body was no longer painful.
In the next few years, the body of Summer Solstice would not be fully restored.
Wang Tianzong knew exactly what the people who had attacked Summer Solstice were thinking.
He was not willing to let Summer Solstice fight.
But those people obviously did not think so.
For them, the existence of Summer Solstice, in any general trend, would become a force that could change a battle situation.
So there was an attack this evening.
After this attack, at least within a few years, Summer Solstice could only stay on Mount Dibing and could no longer fight.
Wang Tianzong took a deep breath and spit it out.
For many years, he did not seem to be as sorrowful as he was now.
“I can actually understand her action.”
Wang Tianzong whispered, “But I can’t accept it.”
“Who?”
Summer Solstice looked up, confused.
“A woman who is as stupid as you,” Wang Tianzong said softly as he tidied the hair on the forehead of Summer Solstice.
To some extent, Qin Weibai and Summer Solstice were actually the same people.
There were always some women who could burn themselves without reservation and could willingly offer everything, even their souls, for their own men.
In fact, Wang Tianzong did not tell Li Honghe one thing.
In these years when he did not enter the Invincible Realm, the Wang family of Beihai was in the most dangerous time.
He still tentatively sought contact with Kunlun City for cooperation.
It was Summer Solstice who found the Gu family on her own.
She used Autumn Water and directly promoted the Zhongzhou State treason case that had shocked the Dark World.
At that time, Wang Tianzong was just like Li Tianlan, who was now ignorant. When it all happened, he realized what was going on.
“I am not stupid.”
Summer Solstice moved her nose and was somewhat dissatisfied.
“You are the most stupid.”
Wang Tianzong looked at Summer Solstice.
The light in the bedroom was too dark, and Summer Solstice was so beautiful.
So his eyes were a bit fuzzy.
“His Majesty...”
A voice rang outside Emperor Hall, calm and cold. “I am Xuan Ming.”
Xuan Ming.
He was the principal of all intelligence agencies in the Wang family of Beihai.
Cheif director!
Wang Tianzong took a deep breath and calmly said, “What have you found? Who went to Mount Dibing tonight?”
“Not sure at the moment.”
Xuan Ming paused for a while and said, “It is very likely to be the Samsara Palace. There are two people, suspected Saint and Military Counselor. I will continue to investigate it.”
“No need for that.”
Wang Tianzong sneered and calmly said, “Change a direction. Ten days, I will give you ten days. No matter what method you use, no matter what price you pay, I want the address of the headquarters of Samsara Palace! At all costs! Remember, you only have ten days!”
The voice of Xuan Ming outside the temple fell silent.
Wang Tianzong bowed his head and looked at Summer Solstice in his arms. He whispered, “After ten days, I will revenge for you.”
“You have to be careful.”
Summer Solstice squinted and looked tired. She gradually closed her eyelids. “Don’t be impulsive.”
“Okay. You can sleep.”
Wang Tianzong touched her head.
The bedroom gradually became quiet.
“Tianzong...”
In the silence, Summer Solstice’s voice sounded like a whisper. “Do you think there will be my position on the Stone of Formidable Person in the future?”
“Of course there will be.”
Wang Tianzong said in a soft voice, “There must be.”
“Where am I?”
The sound of Summer Solstice was getting softer.
“No matter which position you are, no matter where you are, I’ll be by your side.”
Wang Tianzong whispered, “I will always be by your side.”
“Fine.”
Summer Solstice smiled softly.
Fine was also the best.
She never regretted becoming Wang Tianzong’s wife or regretted her own contribution to the Wang family of Beihai.
Staying with each other until the hair grew white.
Even if it was a mountain of blades or a sea of fire ahead, the temperature on his body was her most expected tenderness as long as she could be with him and he was still around her.
The horizon was gradually shining.
The coldness and pain as the night began to fade.
Summer Solstice caught the warmth around her and gradually fell asleep.
