Chapter 175: The Corpse of Yunjing Lake
Liu Yunxiang immediately put on his cloak and rode out.
When he came to the government office, Liu Yunxiang could not get off his horse, but saw Shen Yunzhou hurriedly coming out with more than a dozen officials. He looked very bad. Even though he was threatened by Li Batian and others with machetes that day, he did not Like this moment, there is still some panic among the anger.
They got on their horses and galloped towards the city gate.
Liu Yunxiang hurriedly chased after him, "Master Shen, is there any news about Sister Qu?"
Shen Yunzhou glanced at her with dark eyes, but did not answer and continued walking forward.
Liu Yunxiang hesitated for a moment, then simply followed them out of the city.
After leaving the city and heading north, they arrived at Zhenbei Pass in about an hour. There was a small group of armored soldiers waiting for them at the pass. Seeing them coming, they rode their horses to lead the way.
Liu Yunxiang followed him out of Zhenbeiguan. In the stretching desert outside the pass, the cold wind howled, rolling up gravel and pricking people's faces, making it cold and painful.
The sky was full of wind and sand, and Liu Yunxiang could only slow down and try his best to keep up with them.
After walking for a long time, Liu Yunxiang saw shadows standing on the dunes not far away across the yellow sand. She was confused for a moment, was it them? Why were they so motionless?
She felt timid, but she kept walking and climbed up the slope with difficulty. When she got closer, it was indeed Shen Yunzhou and the others.
It was so cold today that their hair and eyelashes were covered in frost, as if they were all frozen.
This atmosphere is a little too weird...
Liu Yunxiang got off his horse, walked towards them, and then looked in the direction of their sight.
Suddenly! She also paused!
Yan Beiqing once told her that this place is among the clouds in the sky.
At this moment, the sky is gloomy, so the lake is also gloomy.
Corpses are floating above...
I can’t count them at the moment.
Liu Yunxiang's breathing was stagnant. When she felt the pain of suffocation, she exhaled suddenly, and then panted heavily. Her eyes were burning, her body was trembling, and she could not move in the biting wind.
There are female corpses in the lake, their clothes are scattered, and their deaths are miserable.
I don’t know who made the move first, so a group of people followed, and Liu Yunxiang also staggered behind.
When I got to the lake, I took a closer look and saw that the water was dyed red.
The closest corpse was a female corpse. The body... was incomplete. One arm was missing, the legs were extremely bent, there were dozens of stab wounds on the body, and the face... looked like it had been burned by hot oil.
Liu Yunxiang suddenly covered his mouth and took two steps back.
She was like this, and the officers, soldiers, and men who were used to seeing killings all stared blankly, unable to believe what they were seeing.
"Are these...the missing women?" Shen Yunzhou asked.
But no one can answer it. Most of their faces are ruined and their original appearance cannot be seen.
"So many, there must be about fifty or sixty corpses..." someone said solemnly.
"There's someone over there!" someone suddenly shouted.
Everyone looked towards the other side of the lake. The lake was not big, so they could see the other side at a glance. However, the sky was full of yellow sand, blocking their sight, and only a few figures could be seen faintly.
Liu Yunxiang rubbed his eyes, trying to take a closer look, but what came first was a burst of laughter.
Hahaha……
Hahaha……
This smile is like coming from the underworld, making people's hearts tremble and their spines shiver.
At this time, the wind suddenly stopped, the yellow sand fell to the ground, and the vision became clear.
Someone shouted again: "They are soldiers from Beijin!"
There is a hook on the helmet of the Beijin soldier, and the hook is covered with red cloth, so it is easy to identify. They are still standing on the opposite side, pointing at them, and everyone is laughing.
"Is it them?" someone asked.
No one needed to answer, because those on the other side who were provoked by the Beijin soldiers picked up a body from a cart, stabbed them in front of them, and then threw it into the lake.
This scene simply provoked the nerves of every Daiei soldier, and they immediately raised their spears and rushed over.
"Stop!" the leading lieutenant shouted, but when no one listened, he shouted loudly: "Stop her motherfucker! Beijin and Darong have already negotiated peace. If you start a dispute now, the court will ask for it.
Don’t even want the heads of us people, no, the heads of our wives, children, and children!”
This sentence made all the soldiers stop. They clenched their spears and struggled with pain on their faces. In the end, these men all cried.
People from Beijin are laughing over there, and they are crying over here.
Those people saw enough jokes and walked away, as if they were expected not to dare to rush forward. There were more than 20 people on their side, while there were only a few Beijin soldiers on the other side. But behind them was the weak Da Rong court, and on the other side was the weak Da Rong court.
It is the power of Beijin.
After a long time, Shen Yunzhou sighed and said, "Everyone, let's pick up the bodies of these girls first. It's getting dark and we have to take them home."
The soldiers took off their armor without saying a word and jumped into the cold water one by one. No matter how far they swam, they fished out the bodies of these girls one by one.
Liu Yunxiang came to his senses later and hurriedly picked up some dry firewood and lit it on fire so that the soldiers who came up from the water could quickly dry their clothes.
It's too cold today. If I go back wearing wet clothes, I will freeze to death.
Only when they saw the fire burning did everyone discover Liu Yunxiang.
The leading lieutenant was named Wei Tian. She glanced at Liu Yunxiang and turned to ask Shen Yunzhou.
"Who is this?"
Shen Yunzhou glanced at Liu Yunxiang, who was returning with a large bundle of dry firewood, and said, "Your Commander Yan's wife."
Wei Tian understood, "Oh, I heard that Madam Yan came to Zhenbeiguan. It turns out it's true."
When all the corpses were picked up, Liu Yunxiang felt uncomfortable, but she still forced herself to identify them one by one. Finally, she and Shen Yunzhou looked at each other, and both of them breathed a sigh of relief.
There is no Qu Mo Ran in this!
The soldiers dried their clothes and quickly put on their armor. Each of them took two or even three corpses and hurried back, fearing that something might happen.
Across Yunjing Lake, ten miles to the north, is the military camp of Beijin.
It was already very late when we returned to Zhenbeiguan. Liu Yunxiang stayed with Shen Yunzhou and the others at the post house in Zhenbeiguan.
Wei Tian asked her for the best room in the post house, and specifically asked the people in the post house to light a charcoal fire for her to keep the house warm.
"Madam, the conditions here are poor and make you suffer."
Liu Yunxiang shook his head hastily, "I've caused trouble for you."
"No, no, it's our honor. If you have any orders, just tell them,"
Everyone was quite tired, so Liu Yunxiang said thank you and sent the lieutenant away.
At night, Liu Yunxiang couldn't sleep. As soon as he closed his eyes, his mind was filled with the faces of those female corpses, faces that were twisted and painful, and whose appearance was unclear.
Occasionally I fall asleep and wake up suddenly.
After a night like this, Liu Yunxiang woke up the next day with a slight pain in his head.
She had just finished washing and came out when she saw Wei Tian hurriedly knocking on the door next door. Soon, Shen Yunzhou opened the door.
Chapter completed!
