Human heads!
There was a row of human heads placed at the entrance of the Song family's mansion!
Each head was placed in a stone box, their faces serene, and there was not the slightest sign of pain. It was conceivable that they died very quickly, that they did not even have the time to show any pain or struggle on their faces.
"They're all people of the Song family, otherwise they wouldn't have sent them to the Song family — —"
"Song Tian was the General of Jade Gate Pass, his head was sent back — —"
"Zhenyuan General, what a high official that was, he died too tragically — —"

The pedestrians on the street were pointing fingers and whispering about the bizarre incident of sending human heads.
Everyone was well aware of the status of the Song family in the West Wind Kingdom, but someone dared to provoke them, killed an important General of the Song family, and sent his head to the door of the Song family — —
This was no longer as simple as a provocation!
This was a declaration of war!
A declaration of war against the Song family! A declaration of war against the West Wind Old immortal Song Gudu!
Crash — —
The door of the Song family's mansion was wide open. Housekeeper Song Ning led a group of guards to the door.
Seeing a long row of human head boxes placed side by side on the steps, Song Ning's expression changed dramatically. "Quickly put them away."
"Yes." The group of guards answered, and everyone suppressed their disgust and fear as they ran over to pick up a human head box.
When the human head boxes were picked up, a more troublesome problem arose.
It was certainly unlucky for a family like the Song family to carry so many dead heads into the house. Not to mention that the wedding of the Song family's young master Song Tinyun would be held here in three days — —
However, if these heads were not put away, would they be placed at the door of their own house? Moreover, whether it was Song Tian's head or Zhenyuan General's head, they could not be neglected. It was extremely indecent to be pointed at like this. If Song Tian was a member of the Song family, it would be better. If the Shangguan family saw Shangguan Wuliang's head being treated like this at the door of the Song family's mansion, they would most likely hold a grudge against the Song family.
Just as Song Ning was in a dilemma, a servant scurried over and whispered a few words in his ear. Song Ning's face relaxed slightly, and with a wave of his hand, he said, "Send them to the old mansion outside the city."
"Yes." A group of people loaded the heads into a car and sent them to the old house outside the city.
Song Ning looked at the crowd that refused to disperse and shouted, "Disperse, disperse. Hurry up and disperse. Otherwise, you will all be considered murderers. I will arrest you and bring you to the authorities …"
Hua la la …
Hearing the words of an official, the crowd dispersed.
"I heard it was done by that evil dragon …"
"That evil dragon wants to go against the Song family. The Song family is in trouble this time …"
"Looks like the old immortal is going to make a move …"
※ ※ ※
The crowd dispersed, and the sound of discussion could be heard incessantly.
Outside Tiandu City, the old residence of the Song family.
Song Tinyun was kneeling in the courtyard, while Song Gudu was holding a bowl of porridge in his hand and eating from a small plate of cucumbers on the table.
Song Gudu's speed of eating was not slow, as though he was enjoying it very much. Moreover, he ate with relish, and was not in the slightest disturbed by the outside events.
Finally finishing a bowl of rice, Song Gudu put down the bowl, took the handkerchief from the housekeeper and wiped his mouth, then pushed away the chair and walked over to Song Tinyun.
"How many heads?"
"Four." Song Tinyun replied aloud.
"How many of them did you kill?"
"Four." Song Tinyun replied. Mo Li, a servant girl, Gao Dafu, and Chen Goudan — — of course, Song Tinyun did not know their names. However, in the sneak attack last night, they did kill the four servants of the evil dragon.
"You killed four of them, and he cut off four of our heads. That's fair. "Song Gudu said in a low voice, looking at the heads piled up in the courtyard.
Song Tinyun raised his head, saying in a cold voice, "What fairness? I just killed a few inconspicuous servants and fellows, but he killed the right-hand man of the Song enterprise. Which is more important, you can tell at a glance. "
Song Gudu sighed softly. "For you, people are divided into high and low, noble and lowly. For others, you have four heads here, and he also has four heads there — — That little dragon's anger is so turbulent, that's it, right? Otherwise, why would he take the risk to carry out this assassination? He is not willing to wait for a day, he must get his revenge on the spot. "
"It's all Tinyun's fault." Song Tinyun said with a sad face, "I set up an inescapable net, but not only did I fail to take down that evil dragon, but he also took the opportunity to kill so many important people of our Song family, which greatly damaged the vitality of our Song family … Tinyun is willing to be punished."
Song Gudu waved his hand. "You didn't do anything wrong, and he also didn't do anything wrong. It's just that there are good and bad methods, and high and low strength. You can't be blamed for this. "
Song Tinyun felt even more uncomfortable. Grandfather said that there were good and bad methods, and high and low strength — — Did the result not prove that his methods were not as good as Li Muyang's, and his strength was not as good as Li Muyang's?
Otherwise, how could he have suffered such a big loss?
Song Gudu looked at his grandson kneeling on the ground, saying in a low voice, "I can understand your feelings of wanting to slay the evil dragon. Although a few of my people died, I can accept the result. However, the means you did make it difficult for me to agree with you. Tinyun, it's important to be considerate, important to be long-lasting. If you fail, you can try again next time. If your character is bad, there's no way to help you up again. Xiaoxin is your future wife, and you used this method to coerce her, seduce the servant girl to obtain information about the evil dragon — — How are you going to get along with Xiaoxin in the future? If this matter were to be known to the outside world, what would they think of you, Song Tinyun? "
"Even your future wife can be used, what other people can't you make a deal with? In this way, how can you have loyal and devoted soldiers around you? If you have a close friend who will never leave you? What is a person? The character 'person' is written in two strokes, one stroke and one stroke, supporting and relying on each other. If there's no support around, you can't stand up. "
"Tinyun understands, Tinyun knows he's wrong. Tinyun also wants to do something for the Song clan. "Song Tinyun once again bowed his head.
"Things have come to this point, it's useless to say more." Song Gudu said with a wave of his hand. He looked at the empty stone box next to the human head box, asking, "This was also sent over by the little dragon?"
"Yes." Song Tinyun said in a low voice, "Along with the human head box, there were twelve empty boxes."
"Twelve empty boxes — — interesting. This little dragon is really interesting. "
"Grandfather, what do you mean?"
"These twelve empty boxes, there's one for you, one for me — — and one for your Uncle and Second Uncle." Song Gudu's mouth curved into an indifferent smile, and was not angered by Li Muyang's actions. "He's going to destroy our Lu clan."
"Li Muyang — —" Song Tinyun's pupils were blood-red, hissing.
"He came for revenge, what's the fuss about doing that?" Song Gudu gently sighed. "Unfortunately, they ran away that day. Letting a tiger return to the mountain would cause endless trouble in the future."
"Grandfather — —"
"Well, you go back and prepare for the wedding. I have to go brew medicine for Chenxi. "
With that, he turned and walked towards the pharmacy in the backyard.
"— —"

Following the ferment of the human head incident, a new round of political struggle had begun.
This time, Li Muyang had killed four important figures, one was the commander of the Jade Gate Pass, one was the Lord of Handan City, and the other two were Assistant Minister of the Ministry of War Lin Tao and Great General Shangguan Wuliang.
These were the representatives of the Song clan in terms of military generals. The commander of the Jade Gate Pass, Song Tian, led 70,000 troops to guard the West Wind Territory, and did not let the enemy take a step into West Wind. Although the Lord of Handan City Cheng Gang was a fool, but Handan City protected Tiandu, and its strategic position was extremely important. If Tiandu City encountered a strong enemy, the commander of Handan City could rush over to support as fast as possible.
Not to mention Assistant Minister of the Ministry of War Lin Tao and Shangguan Wuliang, they were the core figures that the Song clan had arranged to control all the troops in the capital.
When they were alive, these positions were naturally in the hands of the Song clan. Now that they were dead, it was unknown how much influence the Song clan could exert on the successor — —
At least, the Hui Emperor and the Cui clan wanted a piece of the cake. Other people also had their own ideas. If they wanted them to give up, couldn't they give up some other aspects of the exchange of interests?
After rounds of disputes and discussions, in the end, although the position of Zhenyuan General was taken over by Shangguan Yunding of the Shangguan clan, who was loyal to the Song clan, and the assistant minister of the Ministry of War was taken over by Song Ke of the Song clan.
The commander of the Jade Gate Pass, Chen Zhao, who was named by the Hui Emperor, was taken over, while the Lord of Handan City was taken over by Murong Shuang, a direct descendant of the Cui clan. In this way, the Song clan not only lost four important figures, but also lost two important positions.
It has to be said that this time, it was a heavy loss for them.
The Song clan hated the evil dragon to the bone, and wished they could kill him as soon as possible.
When the dust of this power struggle settled, the wedding day of Song Tinyun of the Song clan and the young lady of the Cui family, Cui Xiaoxin, also arrived.
This was a wedding of the world, and also a wedding that the whole city was paying attention to.
Song Tinyun was known as the Jade Tree of the Song family, and Cui Xiaoxin was the head of the three bright moons in the capital. These two people were originally illustrious figures in Tiandu.
Moreover, the marriage between Song Tinyun and Cui Xiaoxin meant a deeper cooperation between the Song clan and the Cui clan. What kind of impact would this have on the whole West Wind? What would the various forces think of this matter?
What's more, after the evil dragon had consecutively chopped off several heads of the Song clan and sent the heads to the door of the Song family's mansion, it once again hid its whereabouts. The head and tail of the divine dragon were all gone.
However, no one dared to ignore its existence. Everyone knew that the little dragon hiding in the dark could at any time display a biting cold killing move, giving a fatal blow to the Song clan and other enemies that it hated.
As winter approached, the chill was getting stronger and stronger.
Tiandu was once again in a state of turbulence, and a wedding that was destined to not be a happy and auspicious event finally kicked off in this solemn atmosphere.
