When Yan Xing brought Gan Ling, Hutou, Daniu and the other two back to the fortress's main house, the original thick smoke had already dissipated.

Yan Xing looked at it and found that the person who was still on the scene to command the cleaning of the battlefield was the one Zhou, and Ma Lin, who should have been there, didn't know where he ran.

"Guide Zhou, why are you still here, Ma Lin?"

Facing Yan Xing's smile, he walked over and asked softly, and Zhou Liang couldn't help but smile awkwardly.

"Ma Zhuangshi may have something else to do. How can I know his whereabouts?"

When Yan Xing saw Zhou Liang's wry smile and embarrassing look, he knew that it must be Ma Lin, a rough man, who looked at the face of this guide who looked very disliked.

A smile appeared on the corner of Yan Xing's mouth, and he turned to Hutou and said:

"Hutou, go and call Da Lao Hei over to me. Guide Zhou is a scholar. How can he do these rough work like me and other martial artists?"

After saying that, Yan Xing turned around and said:

"Guide Zhou, you can eliminate the remaining enemies so quickly tonight. Your strategy is a great contribution. Just leave the outside to others to do. Come, let me go into the main house together to take a look. Haha, there is also a part of yours that have been preserved here!"

Zhou Liang saw Yan Xing's enthusiastic behavior towards him, although he was secretly alert inside, he still looked flattered on the surface. He quickly bowed and said:

"Captain Yan, you are so kind. The next surname is Zhou and his name is Yuanshan. The leader can call me Yuanshan!"

"Okay, Yuansun, please!"

Yan Xing looked at the middle-aged scholar with a flattering look on his face and wanted to make friends with his peers. He smiled, waved his hand and directly invited Zhou Liang and him to enter.

"Captain Yan, please!"

Zhou Liang deliberately lowered his body, half a step behind Yan Xing, and followed Yan Xing into the main house of the fort with a respectful look on his face.

The corpse at the entrance of the lobby of the fortress owner's house had been cleared away, but after walking into the lobby, Yan Xing's nose wrinkled and a strong smell of blood came to his nose. He had seen many corpses lying in the hall, including 70% to 80% of them.

Thinking of the screams of women and children in the hall when the enemy broke through before, Yan Xing's heart moved. He stopped and turned to look at Zhou Liang behind him and asked:

"Won-sun, is this?"

Facing Yan Xing's inquiry, Zhou Liang hurried forward and said solemnly:

"Captain Yan, Liang tortured the prisoners and learned that the owner of the fort was a hero who was kind and generous and willing to raise guests. He was able to kill everyone. He was forced by thick smoke before and had to break through. In order not to let his relatives, women and children be humiliated by us, he ordered them to be killed. If it weren't for the arrows of the house, he would be afraid that the remaining people would not surrender!"

Speaking of this, Zhou Liang paused, looked at Yan Xing's face carefully before continuing:

"Before leaving, Ma Zhuangshi took away most of the manpower, and Liang could not command the others, so the bodies had not been moved away for a while-"

Before Zhou Liang finished speaking, Yan Xing reached out and told him not to say anything more. He remembered the half-empty granary and the distributed weapons, and had roughly outlined a three-time assistant who was strong and powerful in his heart who was in charge of the insurance and protecting the people.

Yan Xing was born in a powerful family in this life, but he was not as angry as before he was reborn. He gritted his teeth at all kinds of behaviors of these powerful surnames.

On the one hand, although these powerful people dominate the countryside and are rampant, they make money by robbing, hoarding and other means, and compete with the government for control of the Guizhou people, hiding the population, and taking in the destiny, and constantly digging for the foundation of the empire. But on the other hand, they have both a master-servant relationship and a clan relationship with their tenants. Every year around the spring plowing, when the green and yellow are not in contact, the powerful families will open warehouses to provide relief to the elderly, sick and poor people in the fort. On the winter day, the powerful families will hold a banquet, inviting clans, in-laws, guests, tenants, etc. in the fort to make peace, drink and enjoy.

In the peaceful and prosperous times, the powerful families would constantly squeeze the living space of the empire's households and citizens. However, in the end of the war, these powerful families gave these common people who depended on themselves a place to survive. In terms of their attitude towards these powerful people, it is often related to the rise and fall of the entire empire.

Thinking of this, Yan Xing raised his head and sighed slowly, and slowly said:

"I didn't expect that another good man's life would be broken into our hands tonight. Although the war was ruthless, I remember that he was also a heroic man during his lifetime. Yuan Shan, I will have to go there later. I will take a few prisoners to recognize the body of the owner of the fort and bury him with a generous gift!"

"Jingnuo!"

Zhou Liang quickly responded. Yan Xing nodded and smiled at the guide. He walked around the corpse in the lobby and took people into the back room. In the back room, various boxes and boxes were lifted and pushed down, and precious books such as gold and silver utensils, bamboo slips and silk books, coral and jade were also scattered everywhere. The gold-painted woodcut screen was broken in half, and the bed and bedding were also dyed black with ink...

There was almost no place to take a foot in the inner room. Yan Xing frowned and waved his hand to let Gan Ling, Daniu and others clear out a small area first. He looked back at Zhou Liang and asked in confusion.

"Yuansun, are these again?"

"Captain Yan, these are definitely not what we do. In addition to entering the lobby, everyone has never stepped into this inner room. It must be because of this trapped enemy that vented hatred and destroyed it in order not to let these wealth fall into our hands!"

"I see!"

Yan Xing nodded, although he was a little confused, he couldn't understand it for a moment. As he was pondering, a burst of rapid footsteps came from outside the lobby, but Hutou rushed back. His face was a little embarrassed, and he trotted to Yan Xing's ear and said:

"Chief, something happened to the captive side, and Ma Jun brought people to use the knife!"

Yan Xing frowned again when he heard this. He pursed his chapped lips and glanced at Zhou Liang. Zhou Liang was peeping and quickly lowered his head. Yan Xing didn't intend to hide and pinch it. He quickly said:

"Yuanshan, something happened to the captive. I'm going to rush over now. I'll leave the others to you. I'll collect and register the goods in this inner room. Well, the bodies in the lobby must be cleared together!"

"promise!"

Zhou Liang lowered his head two more points, bowed and said respectfully. Yan Xing glanced at him, turned around and winked at Gan Ling, then turned around and walked out of the hall.

As Yan Xing and others walked away, Zhou Liangcai looked up again. He looked at Yan Xing's figure with a complicated expression, and then turned his attention to the inner room again.
