Chapter 305: Death of an old friend (End)
Return to the Pavilion of Heroes.
Zhu Yuncheng first glanced at the hall filled with incense, and then looked at the bronze statue of the Red King kneeling on the ground.
Ying felt that the bronze-cast Red King still exuded the breath of life, but its spirit had become dispensable.
Sixty years of kneeling and the dark space completely wore away the spirit of this demon god, making him like a living corpse.
Zhu Yuncheng came in front of the Red King and patted its shoulder.
"Red King, it's me, King Guili."
Hearing this, the Chi Wang's originally slight spirit jumped a little.
"It has been more than eighty years since you knelt here, and seventy years since the Demon God War ended."
He sat beside the Red King as if he were an old friend, “Speaking of which, I am still a human being after all. For you demon gods, seventy years is just a short period of time, but as a human being, I have personally witnessed the passing of many people of my generation, which makes me feel very sad.
Do you know that over the past seventy years, the goddess of flowers has written me many letters, all hoping that I would release you. For this, she is willing to pay any price.
Seventy years ago, I thought, I would make you kneel here forever, but now, if I do this publicly, many people will definitely oppose it. After all, you are the culprit who caused the death of 400,000 Qianyan soldiers in Guili. "
Zhu Yuncheng stood up and said, "I have decided to release you, but that does not mean I will not hold you accountable for your past. Hatred can be forgotten, but what you have done should never be forgotten. I will give you two months. Either you submit to me and be used by me, or you kneel here forever."
After saying this, Zhu Yuncheng ignored Chi Wang's violently shaking mental fluctuations and turned to leave the Heroes Pavilion.
"The King of Men."
Just after leaving the Heroic Pavilion, Hua Hua appeared and said, "Huang Yu has passed away."
In an instant, Zhu Yuncheng's body trembled violently, and he was about to fall to the ground. Fortunately, Ganyu and Ying were quick to move and supported him.
"Why? I saw Huang Yu was fine just now, how could this happen?" Tears welled up in Zhu Yuncheng's eyes. At this moment, he was even sadder than when his junior sister died.
The residence of Marquis Guanjun was all white, and the mourning hall was filled with filial sons and grandchildren.
Fu She broke down and cried in front of Huang Yu's body: "It's all my fault. I knew he was too old to drink, but I still let him drink four or five kilograms of wine. It's all my fault, wuwuwu."
Huang Jinggui stepped forward and said, "Marshal Fushe, don't cry. It's not your fault. My father told us before he died that life and death are determined by fate. He has lived for so long and experienced the war between demons and gods. This life is enough."
Fushe cried even louder.
Seeing him crying, Huang Jinggui couldn't help crying loudly, and the whole room was filled with crying.
Zhu Yuncheng arrived and looked at Huang Yu lying in the coffin and the crying descendants of Huang Yu. He felt very upset.
"Long live the Human King." Fu She cried when he saw Zhu Yuncheng, "Before Huang Yu died, he said that if there was an afterlife, he would still be your subordinate and fight for you."
At this moment, Zhu Yuncheng could no longer hold back his tears and they fell from his eyes.
He moved closer and looked into Huang Yu's peaceful face.
Once upon a time, this long face was amiable and high-spirited when he was young, which is in sharp contrast to the wrinkled face now. The only thing that remains unchanged is the armor hidden under his robe.
"You've never taken off your armor in your entire life. Are you stupid?" Zhu Yuncheng muttered to himself.
He turned around and looked at the room full of filial sons and grandchildren, frowning: "Where are Huang Ying, Huang Jingxiu, and Huang Jingtong?"
"After the three sisters and brothers learned that their father had passed away, they were unable to breathe and fainted. I have already asked someone to ask for help from Master Yaojun." Huang Jinggui said, wiping away his tears.
These three siblings are also over seventy years old.
Zhu Yuncheng sighed and said, "Someone, go inform Yaojun to take good care of these three siblings and make sure they are cured. Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude."
After giving the order, Zhu Yuncheng sat outside, watching the people who kept coming to pay their respects, in silence.
All the people coming and going were strangers, none of them were familiar with Huang Yu, and none of them were familiar with Zhu Yuncheng.
"Woo~"
At this moment, the mutated ice water dragon lizard, Lianyi came to Zhu Yuncheng, lay down and rubbed Zhu Yuncheng's body gently with its huge head.
"You are also very sad, and that's right. After all, you and Huang Yu are not master and servant, but companions, and you have been with him for so many years." Zhu Yuncheng touched Lianyi's head and recalled in his mind that he once asked why the dragon lizard was given such a name.
At that time, Huang Yu smiled and replied: "When a stone hits the water, ripples are generated, and the ripples will grow bigger and bigger. As long as there are ripples, I will be able to live long and conquer the world better in the future."
"Now that I think about it, this statement seems more and more wrong. Maybe Huang Yu didn't read much at that time." Zhu Yuncheng muttered to himself, and then said to Lianyi: "Where do you want to go in the future?"
Lianyi raised her head and looked in the direction of the mourning hall.
"You want to stay in the mansion? Fine." Zhu Yuncheng nodded. "How about I take you in as my apprentice? I'll teach you the art of transformation. After you transform into a human, you can walk around Guili openly without worrying about anything else. You can also take better care of Huang Yu's family."
Lianyi nodded slightly to show her agreement.
Zhu Yuncheng smiled, then said in a deep voice: "Huahua, tell Tianquanxing to draft an edict."
In the mourning hall, Fu She, who had recovered, patted Huang Jinggui on the shoulder and said, "From now on, I will ensure that your Huang family will be rich and prosperous forever. If you or your descendants encounter any problems, just come to the Human King Palace and call my name and Huang Yu's name. Do you understand?"
Huang Jinggui nodded: "Thank you, uncle."
Fushe reached out his hand, touched the head of the old man whom he had seen since he was a child, and turned away.
In the evening, the contemporary Tianquan Star came to the residence of the Marquis of Guanjun with the decree prepared by Zhu Yuncheng.
"The Human King has issued an order!"
Tianquan Star unfolded the yellow cloth and read aloud: "Champion Marquis Huang Yu, joined the army when he was young and followed the king to fight. He has made many meritorious deeds. He attacked Xumi, conquered Monde, conquered Fengdan, broke Nata to winter, and sealed Zaoshen Mountain. Whenever there was a war, he would charge in the front with unparalleled bravery. He is the strongest Kaiyang Star! Eternal Champion Marquis!
Now that I hear of your death, I feel sad. The achievements of Marquis Guanjun must not be forgotten, so I have specially ordered Tianquan Star and Tianxuan Star to compile everything about Huang Yu's life into a book, to be passed down for generations, and to make a sculpture out of thousands of kilograms of gold, to stand in front of the Pavilion of Heroes, to be worshipped forever!
The title of Marquis Guanjun is revoked and changed to Marquis Wuyu. One son is allowed to inherit the title, and it will be hereditary for generations!"
Hearing the imperial decree, all the Huang family members trembled with excitement.
The Human King admitted personally that Huang Yu was the most powerful Kaiyang Star in history, and he even used a thousand kilograms of gold to make a statue of him. What an honor!
There is also hereditary succession, which is to ensure that the Huang family will be rich and prosperous forever.
Huang Jinggui choked up and knelt forward: "Huang Jinggui accepts the order, long live the king of men."
Zhu Yuncheng watched the Huang family shouting "Long live him". For some reason, he felt deeply tired and stood up with his crutches: "Ganyu, Ying, I'm tired, let's go back."
