Folding the halberd to seal the cold

"Have you ever regretted going on this road alone?"

"Lu Zhi, the official career of the Shen family is not going well, so it's better to pin your hopes in the martial arts. Now that the Haoqi League is in full swing, you should take advantage of this opportunity to join the Haoqi League, follow in the footsteps of League Leader Xie, and break out of the world."

"When a gentleman walks in the world, he needs to know filial piety, loyalty and trustworthiness, propriety, righteousness and shame. Two sleeves are clean, one shoulder is bright moon, and he must not be unrestrained. It is undignified. For the family and the country, sacrifice one's life for righteousness; for brothers and friends, treat each other with sincerity. Only then can we stand in the world without shame."

"I've never seen such a rigid and serious person like you, Shen Luzhi, do you really have a heart? Do you have an expression? You always look aloof, regardless of your feelings in everything, and only analyze the gains and losses of cause and effect! You are so calm and unreasonable, No matter how noble it is, it's just like a statue, isn't it tiring to carry yourself!?"

"Commander Shen... news from the front line that Luoyang... the city is broken..."

"The Tang army suffered countless casualties! The escaped refugees are scattered everywhere...the supplies in the alliance are not enough to help everyone..."

Mountains of corpses and seas of blood, wars raging...

Shen Lvzhi was walking blankly in the smog, but he couldn't see anyone when he turned around.

Many kinds of noisy voices came from his ears, interspersed with some fragments of scattered memories, which made him have a splitting headache.

He held his breath to block out these annoying voices, but he couldn't shake them off.

He couldn't manage it, couldn't save him...even though he tried his best, in the end except for the exhaustion all over his body...

Raising his hands, he found that he still couldn't change anything.

In this troubled world, they are like humble ants, no matter how hard they try to shake the big tree, it is just a futile effort.

Bad news keeps coming every day. Where Spike's Fang has passed, people are dying everywhere...it will never be saved.

The headache was about to explode, like knowing that I was having a nightmare at the moment, but the pain didn't want to wake up.

Because even after waking up, what he has to face is still a crueler nightmare...

Shen Luzhi struggled repeatedly in a dream, and after an unknown amount of time, someone finally broke into the curtain and woke him up worriedly.

"Commander Shen... are you okay?"

It was the guards outside the tent who woke him up. Shen Lvzhi woke up suddenly, opened his eyes and stood up and asked, "What's the matter? Is there another news about the battle ahead?!"

Because he moved a little hastily, he accidentally brought the wound on his arm, and the pain instantly caused him to frown and take a light breath.

"No... no! Commander Shen, be careful of your injuries!" The guard standing aside hurriedly helped him, worriedly.

The wound on his arm was accidentally burned while saving a child in the fire, and it was precisely because of this that he was able to rest in the military tent for a while.

"No problem."

Shen Luzhi said indifferently, and then asked: "What's the matter?"

"Oh! Leader Xie invited you to his tent, saying that he has something important to discuss." The guard had just finished explaining, but Shen Luzhi had already lifted the curtain and left.

Under Changshan County, it is only a hundred miles away from the war-torn Luoyang.

At this moment, inside the rebel tent.

"Leader Xie...you mean, among the newly recruited militia, there are a large number of people from the Valley of the Wicked who join?" Shen Lvzhi was slightly surprised by the news while listening to Xie Yuan's analysis of the situation with him.

"That's right. I'm also quite surprised by this. After all, when we recruited the militia and volunteers, they knew that Haoqi and Yan Junshou jointly announced the recruitment...but some people joined in without hesitation." Xie Yuan was still the same as before. He sighed to Shen Lvzhi, calm and composed, with a majestic aura, "Maybe... we should abandon our inherent prejudices. Among the wicked... there are also some people who understand righteousness."

Shen Luzhi also couldn't help being silent.

In fact, since he got to know Ye Feng... the existence of the Valley of the Wicked has somewhat shaken his usual cognition.

Although it was originally founded by "Snow Demon" Wang Yifeng, and there are indeed some real villains in the valley, but...not all of them.

Maybe there are some people who are born with too many unspeakable sorrows, and they are forced to take this road.

The conscience and morality in their hearts may only exist in a different way and attitude, but they have never disappeared.

"So, not only did I send you to actively contact the various sects recently... I also had an idea." Xie Yuan continued.

"Leader, please speak." Shen Luzhi said humbly.

"Commander Shen, do you know how many times have the Haoqi League and the Evilman Valley fought each other over the years in order to compete for the stronghold and to promote their own morality... to win the Jianghu?"

Shen Luzhi didn't answer.

He also couldn't count... how many times he fought.It's just that every shot is bound to set off a bloody storm.

"Have you calculated again... How long has it been since our two camps fought again?"

"Since the battle at Qutang Gorge, both sides suffered a loss...until the war broke out, the Kunlun agreement was postponed." Shen Luzhi pondered and replied truthfully.

"You've realized it too. Compared with today's troubled times... don't you feel that the peaceful days before are more memorable?" Xie Yuan said to him with a long sigh.

Thank you, lord, what does this mean?

Shen Luzhi was silent again, he felt that he could not understand the majestic leader in front of him.

"Everyone is tired, and I...have no intention of fighting against him anymore. Disputes in the rivers and lakes...competition for strongholds, what are they worth when the country is in disaster and the mountains and rivers are broken?"

"Thank you, lord..."

"This is the result of my deliberation over the past few days. I have already figured out...the situation has reached this point now. We must put aside the situation of confrontation and disputes that we have been facing all along. Instead, we should assist the army to destroy the Spikes. Since there are a large number of people in the Valley of the Wicked The chivalrous people are willing to join our rebel army, so we might as well break it up into a whole, persuade that, the two camps join hands... call on all the righteous people in the rivers and lakes to join the rebel army and crusade against the rebels!"

Xie Yuan's words were resounding, but Shen Luzhi was deeply shocked.

He didn't expect that a few months ago, he had solemnly told him that he would lead Haoqi to the top of Kunlun and compete against the Valley of the Evil...

And now...every time changes drastically, Leader Xie can also make a decisive decision, put aside all the grievances and grievances, and take the initiative to join forces with the Valley of the Wicked to fight side by side!

The so-called righteousness should be so.

"So, to show our sincerity... our alliance needs to send a person with a wide reputation to go to the Valley of the Wicked to facilitate the invitation of this alliance..."

"As the commander-in-chief of the Haoqi League, Luzhi is willing to go and be this lobbyist."

Shen Luzhi took up Xie Yuan's words without hesitation.

"But you also need to know... After all, this is only our side's thinking for the time being. Now the war is constantly raging, and the enemy is raging... It is not known how you will be treated if you go to the Valley of the Wicked alone. This journey is full of dangers... What do you do? When you make a decision, you have shouldered the responsibility and danger. Besides... you are still injured."

Xie Yuan glanced at this resolute young man, his heart was filled with relief and emotion, but he couldn't help feeling a little worried.

He has never wavered his trust in Shen Luzhi.

And Shen Luzhi never failed to live up to his expectations, it's just... This burden is completely on his body, it's really a bit heavy.

"It's okay, I have to do this matter. Do it as the commander-in-chief of the Haoqi League... This kind of sincerity is more sincere." Shen Lvzhi shook his head lightly, further strengthening his determination.

Xie Yuan knew that his will was firm and unshakable, so he sighed heavily, and was about to say something when he heard a surprise report from outside the tent——

"Thank you, Leader! Commander Shen! Someone is asking to see you outside... I think it seems... Qin, General Qin is back!!"

what? !

Qinyue? ! ——

Shen Luzhi suddenly stood up, completely shocked by the news.
