Under the burning ruins of the war, the desperately isolated "line of fire" left the bodies of Fang Zhongtian and Li Ting, as well as countless dead soldiers. Like the desolation and grief in the dusty wind, it melts into the bottom of my heart, but it is impossible to express it......

Fang Zhongtian and Li Ting stood in the fire for a long time, and their hearts were always difficult to calm down. Li Ting couldn't bear to see so many people die, and she couldn't help but shed tears of regret and sadness, while Fang Zhongtian was still feeling a lot for Lan Gu's departure, he didn't know that in the dark, in the choice between Li Ting and Lan Gu, he actually had an answer, but he didn't expect that Lan Gu would turn around and leave so ruthlessly, without leaving a word, even a look of hatred for himself......

A long time has passed, and Fang Zhongtian and Li Ting have not left, accompanied by the dead people around them, as if they are silently paying tribute to the remnants of the war. Li Ting was a little desolate and lonely, not only was she displaced, but she also watched the fresh lives pass by her side one by one, she couldn't help but hold Fang Zhongtian's arm and slowly lean her head on his shoulder......

As time passed, the fighting in the ruins gradually subsided, and even the sound of artillery fighting in Yangzhou gradually subsided - it seemed that the war had come to an end...... And Fang Zhongtian and Li Ting were still standing in place and did not leave, at this time they were like sluggish, not knowing where to go next and what kind of road to take......

"The sound of artillery fire is gone. The battle seems to be over......" Fang Zhongtian put his arms around Li Ting and said silently.

Li Ting didn't react for a long time. She leaned on Fang Zhongtian's shoulder and pondered for a long time. Then he said slowly: "So what, it's not that so many people have died......

Li Ting held Fang Zhongtian's hand closer and closer, for Li Ting, who is now homeless, it seems that Fang Zhongtian is all her support. And Fang Zhongtian seemed to be able to feel the compulsion in Li Ting's heart, and his hand around her was getting closer and closer...... Gradually, both of them could feel each other's care, so they slowly turned their heads at the same time, looking at each other squarely, crimson cheeks and expressive eyes. It seems that there is an infinite expression of affection between the two.

"Miss Li, would you like to ......" Fang Zhongtian seemed to want to say something, but it stopped abruptly.

"What?" Li Ting asked in a rhetorical voice as if she was looking for an answer, and looked at Fang Zhongtian with expectant eyes.

"Would you like to ......" Fang Zhongtian swallowed a few words, as if he was cheering up from the bottom of his heart, and finally said nervously, "Miss Li is willing...... Be my wife?"

As soon as these words came out, Li Ting's whole person seemed to be electrocuted. Tears welled up in his eyes. The person she met in her most beautiful years finally confessed to herself, and Li Ting's heart was even more happy and excited. However, she is not a person who is good at expression, and she cried into tears at this time. Nodding slightly, he agreed, and buried his head in Fang Zhongtian's arms. She was really happy. As Tian Xu said before, he finally walked with his beloved. Although we have not known each other for a long time, we have encountered countless ups and downs along the way......

And for Fang Zhongtian. At the same time as he said this, for Lan Gu and Li Ting, he had already made a choice without regrets in his heart. I had been buried in my heart before, hesitating to choose, but now that he said it, he realized that the answer had already been known in his heart, but he didn't dare to say it......

The two who loved each other didn't say anything more, just hugged each other tightly, in the ruins of the war that had dissipated the smoke......

The sound of the battle receded one after another, except for the fire that burned slowly in the alleys of the city, there was no longer the suffocating sound of artillery fire and fighting - Meng Yuan's army completely captured Yangzhou City, and Qiu Qian'an, the former governor of Yangzhou, did not yield to die in it. Although the imperial court had ordered the slaughter of the entire city, under the protection of the beggars, the people in the city were almost completely unharmed, and Meng Yuan's army did not implement any tyranny after capturing the city, which was the luckiest for the dilapidated ancient city of Yangzhou......

Ge Wei, the leader of the beggar gang, rushed to report the news to Fang Zhongtian as soon as possible, but at the same time, he seemed to have a more urgent matter......

Ge Wei followed the circuit and found Fang Zhongtian and Li Ting, who were still hugging each other tightly in the alley. When Fang Zhongtian saw Ge Wei coming, he subconsciously separated from Li Ting, didn't think about what happened just now, and immediately came back to his senses. Ge Wei and the other beggar gang disciples felt Fang Zhongtian's side, Fang Zhongtian saw Ge Wei's nervous expression, so he couldn't help but ask, "Gang Master Ge, how is the situation in the city now?" Obviously, Fang Zhongtian didn't fully know the situation in the city.

"The war is over, the Mengyuan army has already taken the city, fortunately, the people in the city have not suffered too much loss......" Ge Wei first briefly recounted the results, and then said nervously, "But these are not important, what I want to talk about is...... Just now, a disciple came to report that the Huang Mansion suddenly burst into flames, and I don't know what happened-"

"Wouldn't it?" Fang Zhongtian was a little surprised when he heard this, and then asked, "It should be that the war in the city has spread to the Huang Mansion......

"But that fire is not ordinary, it is much more powerful than any burning ruins in the city, I am worried that it will not be ......" Ge Wei was naturally worried about the safety of his brother Huang Xuanqing, obviously he didn't know what was going on in the Huang Mansion.

"Over there in the Yellow Mansion...... Is there an accident?" Li Ting, who had been kind to the Huang Mansion, heard this and asked worriedly.

"Anyway, I always have a bad premonition...... Now that the war is over, Master Fang, we'd better rush over and take a look—" Ge Wei said seriously.

"Hmm-" Fang Zhongtian naturally agreed without hesitation.

So, everyone immediately got ready and rushed to the burning Huangfu......

The ancient city of Yangzhou, which has been shrouded in the ruins of the war, is on the dilapidated eaves, and Lan Gu is looking lonely at the lonely city that has been baptized by war......

At this time, Lan Gu's heart was very chaotic, she knew that Fang Zhongtian had chosen Li Ting and abandoned herself. But for some reason, I can't go crazy with anger like I used to. At this time, she was very quiet, and she had lost her friends. Having lost her lover, Lan Gu suddenly felt so lonely. Although his personality is lonely and arrogant. often doesn't take others in his eyes, but now that he thinks about it, what is really not noticed by others is actually himself, even if he said and did too much before, it was just in vain, in front of Fang Zhongtian, in front of Tian Xu, and even in front of Li Ting. I'm just a complete failure......

"What am I now?" Looking at the broken lonely city downstairs, Lan Gu's heart was entangled, "I used to always don't take others seriously, but now it seems that the real person who failed is actually me...... Even if Fang Zhongtian and I break it off, and even if we are determined to kill him in the future, what can I get, in front of Li Ting. I'll always be just a loser, forever ...... However, where I went from here, all the people left me. All ......"

In his heart, a bright fire under the city woke up Lan Gu who was still in her thoughts. Looking at each other through the fire, Lan Gu can see clearly. The place where it burned was actually the Yellow Mansion. Lan Gu seemed to have thought of something, and said in shock: "Oh no." Tian Xu said before that he was going to kill Fang Zhongtian, and he was still with that group of wicked people...... Tian Xu must have thought that Fang Zhongtian was still in the Huang Mansion. Now that the Huangfu is on fire, can it be said that ......"

Lan Gu seemed to be aware of something stern, and she immediately stood up, performed light skills on the eaves, and hurried in the direction of Huangfu......

Before Lan Gu, Fang Zhongtian, Ge Wei and the others had already arrived at the Huang Mansion in advance......

Stunned - the picture that Fang Zhongtian, Ge Wei and the others will never forget for the rest of their lives...... The burning Huangfu compound was already full of dead bodies, and there were dozens of people in the Huangfu family, none of whom were spared. The blood on the ground and the relentless fire cast a never-ending haze over this once harmonious courtyard.

Li Ting didn't dare to continue watching, there were dead people everywhere, there were tragic scenes everywhere, and it was difficult for those present to imagine who would be so ruthless and wipe out the Huangfu family......

"Why...... Will it be like this......" Ge Wei's eyes widened, he couldn't believe that this was the truth, as the leader of the beggar gang, he had seen countless winds and waves, and Ge Wei had never been so nervous and surprised after seeing this scene.

"Who the hell is it...... Who is so ruthless......" Fang Zhongtian saw it, and said with countless grief and anger.

"It can't be the people of the Meng Yuan army, they ordered the slaughter of the whole city before......" Xue Feichen mentioned on the side.

Fang Zhongtian seemed to be a little uncontrollable, he ran a few steps quickly, kicking away the scorched ruins, trying to find out if there was anyone else alive. But lying in a pool of blood, there are only corpses that cannot be woken up, and this feeling is like wandering alone in a dark hell that never dawns, forever suffocating, never able to extricate themselves.

"Brother Huang...... What about Brother Huang?" Ge Wei was always worried about the safety of his brother Huang Xuanqing, so he also ran into the courtyard to look for it, no matter whether it was a living person or a corpse in the end......

"Found it—" The rest of the beggar disciples also came in to help, and finally, at the stairs at the entrance of the compound, Huang Xuanqing fell to the door covered in blood. He didn't seem to be completely angry, and when he saw the arrival of Ge Wei and the others, he seemed to have something to say.

Ge Wei saw that Huang Xuanqing was still alive, and the whole person was even more excited, he quickly ran to Huang Xuanqing's side, wanting to renew his life, but was stopped by Huang Xuanqing with one hand.

"Don't waste your energy...... I've ...... I won't live long......" Huang Xuanqing said with his last strength covered in blood, "Hurry up...... Fast...... Ji'er's ...... in the kitchen Flume...... There shouldn't be ...... Found ......"

As soon as he heard the word "sink", Fang Zhongtian immediately turned around and rushed in the direction of the kitchen......

On the kitchen side, the house is already surrounded by a roaring crowd. But at this time, Fang Zhongtian couldn't care so much, he shouted, and kicked the door that was burning with fire with one kick.

In the kitchen, the fire had already penetrated into the house, and there was no room for slack at the critical moment, Fang Zhongtian immediately found the location of the sink, and forcefully uncovered the stone cover of the sink - sure enough, under the wooden barrel of the sink, a crying baby boy was floating in the wooden barrel and survived.

This baby boy was Huang Xuanqing's son Huang Ji, Fang Zhongtian was worried that the child would be easily suffocated in the fireworks, so he immediately picked up Huang Ji and rushed out of the door......

"The child is still alive - the child is still alive!" Fang Zhongtian rushed out with Huang Ji in his arms and quickly ran in front of everyone. Li Ting saw that the child was safe and sound, and she couldn't help but shed tears.

"Great...... Ji Er...... Flat...... Quiet...... It's okay......" Huang Xuanqing seemed to be unable to hold on, and when he saw that his son was spared, he tried his best to be happy.

"Who the hell, who killed the entire Huang Mansion family and did such a cruel thing?" Ge Wei thought of revenge in his heart, and said angrily.

"Yes...... ...... of Yangzhou Prefect Those wicked people...... There are ......" Huang Xuanqing tried to say the last words, "the 'four evils and ugliness' on the rivers and lakes...... Zhou Xingtong of the 'Ghost King' of the Western Regions and a ...... A man who can manipulate corpses...... And also...... And also...... And ......"

"Who else?" asked Gerway urgently.

"There are also ...... who call themselves 'Ghost King Masters'," Huang Xuanqing said this, his dying gaze slowly looking at Fang Zhongtian.

"Self-proclaimed 'Ghost King Master'?" Ge Wei was puzzled on the side, but when he saw Huang Xuanqing's eyes looking at Fang Zhongtian, he seemed to have guessed something.

"And ...... It is...... The one before it...... Fang is in charge of your brother...... Tian Xu ......" Huang Xuanqing insisted on chanting, "He calls himself 'Ghost King Master'...... Threatens to kill you...... I don't give in to my threats...... In the end, it ended up ...... This is how it ended ......"

As soon as he heard that it was "Tian Xu", Fang Zhongtian's whole person seemed to have lost his mind, his eyes were bloodshot with resentment, and his hands were also clenched into fists - Fang Zhongtian never expected that it would be his own brother who caused this qiē. Now that he has done such an inhuman thing, it seems that Fang Zhongtian will not forgive him anymore.

Li Ting listened to it on the sidelines, and also showed a surprised look, this Tian Xu was none other than the person he had saved before. Li Ting has always believed that Tian Xu is an upright gentleman, who not only saved himself, but also worked hard to rescue the suffering people in the city. But Li Ting never thought that Tian Xu would commit such a cruel crime for some reason. And Li Ting now knows that Tian Xu will be Fang Zhongtian's brother, and the person he talked about before is also Fang Zhongtian......

"Brother Ge......" Huang Xuanqing seemed to have his last breath, he looked at Ge Wei with dying eyes, as if he had something to explain before he died.

"What's the matter?" Ge Wei was also unable to calm down, seeing that his brother still had something to say, he immediately lowered his body and asked.

"I was promised before...... Let you do it...... Ji'er's father-in-law ......" Huang Xuanqing used his last strength and slowly spit out the words, "My life...... Extinct...... Ji'er ...... I'll leave it to you, Brother Ge...... You've got to make him the same as you...... Become a ...... who stands tall in the sky Big Hero ...... Shine on my Huang ...... Home ......"

After Huang Xuanqing finished speaking, he took one last look at his son, and then with a smile, he slowly fell down, and the hand that was lying on Ge Wei's shoulder also fell into ......

"Brother Huang—" Ge Wei shouted loudly, but it was too late, this time Huang Xuanqing really died, with a smile and hope for his son, he left the world and went to another world......

Ge Wei had a sad face, seeing his brother die with his own eyes, but he was powerless. He slowly stood up, took the baby boy from Fang Zhongtian's hand, then looked at the baby boy who was still crying, and said silently: "Don't worry, Brother Huang, I will definitely promise you to raise Ji Er and make him a hero—moreover, I will also find the whereabouts of the 'Ghost King Master' Tian Xu, kill him to avenge your Huang family!"

Ge Wei's determination is firm, he has already decided, agreed to his brother's request before his death, his life to take on the obligation of raising children, and found the "Ghost King Master" Tian Xu and a group of people, and vowed to use their blood to sacrifice Huang Xuanqing's family in the spirit of the sky......

However, Fang Zhongtian on the side listened to it all and seemed to be touched. In addition to resentment, he seems to have another entanglement in his heart. He didn't talk to Ge Wei anymore, turned his head and ran to the backyard, as if he had a personal matter settled.

And Li Ting saw it on the side, and she couldn't let go of Zhongtian in her heart, so she also ran to follow...... (To be continued......)
