Chapter 165 Corpses everywhere
The man in black was busy burning the roots of the purple thorn forest, and the wound on Qian Qian's arm in the space was almost healed.
She was not in a hurry to go out. Anyway, the time in the space was longer than the actual time. She could take this opportunity to plant purple thorn.
At the same time, Lin You, who was patrolling Lecheng, suddenly discovered that the black sandstorm in Lecheng had disappeared.
He immediately called Ouyang Nanxin and Feng Qingqing, and they confirmed it carefully.
Feng Qingqing looked at Lin You, "There is almost no poison in this sandstorm."
"Yes," Ouyang Nanxin also nodded, "And the sandstorm seems to be fading?"
Lin You looked at the dim sky and felt the same way. "Then let's wait for two more days to see if the sandstorm can subside."
"it is good."
The next morning, the sandstorm in Lecheng completely subsided.
The sky of Lecheng, which had been gloomy for a long time, finally showed the long-lost azure blue.
Seeing this, Xiao Yan called a few trusted aides and took Lin You to Tang Village to check it out.
The sandstorm in Tangcun has basically subsided, but the wind is stronger than in Lecheng.
Lin You walked around Tang Village and suggested, "General Xiao, let's go to other villages nearby to check. If there is nothing unusual, we can go directly to Juecheng to investigate?"
"Okay," Xiao Yan agreed, and ordered his men to split into several groups to investigate the surrounding villages.
Half a day later, everyone reunited.
When Xiao Yan heard that the black sandstorm in the surrounding villages had also receded, she looked at Lin You, and they all immediately rode their horses towards Juecheng.
Although the sky became increasingly darker along the way, there was no black sandstorm.
After arriving at Juecheng, everyone changed their face masks and slowed down their pace towards the southwest side of Juecheng.
The closer they got to the southwest, the closer they were to the endless sea of sand, and the darker the sky became.
Some black dust can be vaguely seen around.
Suddenly, Xiao Yan and Lin You, who were walking in the front, stopped their horses.
Everyone could smell a strong smell of blood, and when they saw the scene in front of them clearly, they gasped.
Not far from them, the ground was littered with corpses.
And those corpses were not complete, arms, legs, heads, chests...
They were scattered everywhere, and the expressions on the heads were all filled with fear and pain.
Lin You's breathing became heavier, and the soldiers behind him couldn't help vomiting.
Xiao Yan gripped the reins tightly, her nails digging deeply into her palms.
After an unknown amount of time, she finally spoke in a hoarse voice, "Who did it?"
"Beast." She cursed and closed her eyes.
"Someone, go check the body."
"Yes."
Lin You endured the discomfort and approached the corpse with the soldiers. The more he examined, the deeper his frown became.
After looking at dozens of heads with distorted faces and painful expressions, he walked towards Xiao Yan with heavy steps, "General," Lin You reported in a deep voice, "Those corpses all look like people from Northern Frontier."
Xiao Yan frowned and looked at Lin You. The appearance of the people in Northern Frontier was very different from that of the people in Daxia and Chu. It was impossible for Lin You to be wrong.
"Who did this?" She sneered, "Oh, he deserves death."
"General," Lin You looked up at the dim sky, "We can't just leave these corpses like this, nor can we bury them directly underground."
Xiao Yan nodded, "The weather is getting hotter, and there might be an epidemic."
She paused, "Pass the order down to burn the corpses together."
Lin You took a deep breath and said after a while, "General, there are too many corpses here. I got the news that Zhang Tianzhen is building a Taoist temple in Dashan Village outside Lecheng."
Xiao Yan understood, and she nodded slowly, "Let him come and send these people from Northern Frontier who died in vain."
"Yes."
Lin You turned around solemnly and ordered the soldiers to wear sheepskin gloves and gather the scattered corpses together.
When collecting the corpses, he carefully observed that none of these people from northern Xinjiang had anything that could prove their identity.
Their clothes were all made of the lowest quality coarse cloth, and there were not even a few people wearing cotton among the corpses.
In the northern border, those wearing coarse cloth can only be the serfs of the lowest status.
Xiao Yan immediately asked Lecheng to send troops for support, and everyone collected all the corpses in Juecheng.
There was also a coroner who sewed the dismembered corpse together as best as possible according to the clothes the bodies were wearing.
A rough count showed that the number exceeded three thousand.
Seeing this number, Xiao Yan could hardly control her anger.
At dusk, Zhang Tianzhen came with a monk and a Taoist priest. The three of them looked at the mountains of corpses and the sea of blood in front of them and thought they were sinning.
The fire was blazing, and the Sutra of Rebirth was recited over and over again...
In the space, Qianqian also knew what happened in Juecheng.
She was pleasantly surprised to find that all the purplethorns she planted survived.
The purplethorn has extremely strong vitality. Even a tiny branch can take root and survive if inserted into the black soil.
It may also be that the black soil in space is too powerful.
So Qian Qian expanded the area of purple thorn planting, and took the opportunity to plant more while the men in black were still burning the roots and rhizomes of the purple thorn forest outside.
Qian Qian stayed in the space for many days, and the men in black outside finally burned all the roots of the purple thorn forest.
After the leader came to check, the man in black prepared to leave.
Qian Qian breathed a sigh of relief, "Huh, we're finally leaving."
She rubbed Erdan's big head. After resting in the space for a few days, the hair that was originally cut short had grown a lot.
Erdan is still the mighty and handsome wolf.
After the men in black left completely, Qianqian took Erdan out of the space.
The moment she came out of the space, she clearly saw a gold foil-like object in the sky. That thing grew bigger and bigger and then disappeared in an instant.
[Little princess, that is my attack power enhancement charm. ]
【Ah,】 Qianqian was very surprised, 【Tongzi, you finally don’t have to hide anymore?】
【Annihilation left?】
[Hmm,] the system voice said in a relaxed tone, [Little Princess, I have used up all my attack power enhancement charms this time, so Annihilation did not gain any benefit from me.]
The system paused and the voice became serious.
[Little Princess, Yanmie captured 3,200 serfs in the northern border and escorted them to Juecheng.]
[Using the cover of the black sandstorm, Annihilation massacred more than 3,000 serfs from the northern border in Juecheng.]
[Little Princess, if it weren't for General Xiao and Lin You, they would have moved the people of Juecheng to the inland of Xizhou when the black sand storm first started.]
[This time, the people of Juecheng may not be able to escape the disaster. ]
Qian Qian's originally good mood completely cooled down.
[More than 3,000 Northern Frontier serfs? How did Annihilation capture them? ]
The system took a deep breath and said, "I bought it from the nobles of the various tribes in the northern border."
Qian Qian closed her eyes, her chest heaving violently, she felt her throat choking and her eyes sore.
[Little princess,] the system said softly, [don't waste time. There are also a dozen spies from the northern border who came to destroy the city with Annihilation.]
[We cannot let them go back to Northern Frontier, otherwise they will spread the news that 3,000 Northern Frontier people were massacred in Juecheng.]
Little Princess,
[Got it,] Qian Qian slowly opened her eyes, she took out the poison needle gun from the space, [Tongzi, show me the way.]
【it is good. 】
"Roar!"
Erdan roared, and flew across the boundless sea of sand like a streak of white lightning...
