"It's...it's so scary...ferocious beasts, pythons, and so much blood vomiting..."
Han Shang thought of the bloody scenes he had seen along the way and couldn't help but lie on the ground and vomit.
When she was young, her home caught fire and damaged her lungs, so she left home and lived in a Buddhist temple in the mountains.
Eating vegetarian food and chanting Buddha's name every day, and saying "Amitabha" every other day, can be considered as half a Buddhist.
What I see every day are quiet mountains and peaceful forests and kind people, and I have never seen such a bloody and violent scene.
Although those people deserved it, she couldn't control her physiological nausea.
After vomiting out everything he had eaten last night, Han Shang wiped his mouth and apologized.
"Sorry, this is my first time seeing this...I'm sorry."
Her face was still pale, but her legs were no longer shaking.
"Uh...you...you should sit down and rest for a while."
Rong Yubai could imagine the tragic situation inside.
After waiting outside for a while, it became completely quiet inside. After the beast had eaten its fill, it packed some food to take back.
Lieutenant General Li stood at the entrance of the cave at first, but gradually retreated back into the pile of soldiers, his legs becoming weak.
Who can tell him how many wild animals there are in this mountain? !
Each of the blood-thirsty beasts was biting his legs or carrying people. They all looked at him dimly and then turned around proudly and went into the forest.
After all the beasts retreated, the soldiers entered to clean up the scene.
Even though they had all been on the battlefield, they couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
As the sky turned pale, all the survivors were brought out.
"General, fourteen of the bandits were not devoured by the beast, but they seem to have been frightened out of their wits."
"Twenty-seven women were found in the caves at the bottom. They were all kidnapped and brought up the mountain to serve as..." The soldier could not bear to continue, so he paused before continuing.
"In addition, we found more than 400 children in a clean cave."
"...More than four hundred children?" Rong Baichuan frowned in confusion. "Why would the bandits kidnap so many children and put them in the cave?"
"Not a bandit."
At this time, Han Shang, who had regained his composure, spoke up, "It's someone else. Judging from their attire, they're from some An Anwei organization."
"Secret Guard?"
Suddenly I remembered that at the ghost market a few years ago, Jiang Lingyu said that he had uncovered a child trafficking case in which nearly five hundred children were hidden in the ghost market.
After that, I never heard any news about the case being closed. I guess the person behind the trip to the ghost market discovered the child and he was transferred here.
"Send someone to bring the children out and blindfold them. Don't let them see the scene inside."
"yes."
The bandits were waiting for the children, women, and animals that had escaped, and their money…they didn’t find any money, as it was all taken out of the cave.
A soldier squad leader ran out with a strange expression, holding his nose.
"General, please move further away. You might get choked by the smoke."
Um? ?
As soon as he finished speaking, a pungent odor wafted out from the cave entrance.
"Oh my god, what's that smelly? Why did you bring out the toilet?"
Rong Baichuan covered the nose of Chaoxi, who was sleeping in his arms, with one hand, and covered his own with the other hand, and backed away repeatedly.
"It's not a toilet, it's..." the team leader said with a constipated look on his face, "a cesspool."
After saying that, he couldn't help but vomit twice.
"You guys don't have to be so dedicated. You searched so carefully that you even turned over the manure pit?"
"It's not us who want to flip over, it's them who are crying for help down there."
At that time, they tied up the mentally ill bandit who survived the canteen and took him out. After checking to make sure that there was no one there, their small team was about to retreat, but they heard someone shouting for help.
Following the sound, I saw a person hanging on a vine on the outer wall.
After bringing the people in, we heard that there seemed to be someone else in the valley below.
In line with the principle of being serious and responsible and not letting any bandit go, someone was sent down with a rope to check.
Good job!!!
I should have pretended to be deaf and not heard it at that time.
There was a manure pit in the valley, with more than twenty people in it. Some of them were even lying and floating on it, and it was unknown whether they were dead or alive.
They had to swallow their pride and fish these people out.
After the team leader finished telling his miserable experience, the dung people also came out in a line, supporting each other.
Suddenly, the forest seemed to explode, and people, horses, carriages, birds, insects, and animals, all those who could run ran away.
"Find a river to wash them and then bring them back. Don't be in a hurry, take your time, we'll go first." Lieutenant General Li's voice became increasingly distant and slowly faded away in the woods.
This "manure pit digging" team was ruthlessly abandoned in the wilderness.
"Captain, there's no river here..." A soldier who was already immune to the stench looked at the stunned man in front of him and spoke in a low voice.
“…”
The team leader looked at the team going farther and farther away, closed his eyes with despair, and a line of tears rolled down from the corner of his eyes.
My superior is too ruthless. What should I do if I want to quit the army?
…
The large army marched slowly towards the capital.
People who got up early to make a living on the road all gave way.
"Which general is returning in triumph or..." He didn't dare to say those two words.
"It should be... Triumph." He is alive and well now, and he doesn't want that to happen again.
Soon, the situation here spread to the palace.
At this time, in the main hall, the chief eunuch Fuling was announcing,
"If you have something to say, please report it. If not, please leave~~~——"
"I have a report!"
The habitually drawn-out ending tone came to an abrupt end, and Fuling flicked his whisk and retreated to the emperor's side.
The emperor narrowed his eyes and looked at the man who said "I have a memorial". He was an official of neither high nor low rank, and he basically never spoke during court sessions.
"speak!"
"Your Majesty, Rong Baichuan is a convicted criminal who escaped from prison and led his troops out of the city. This is a serious crime of treason. Your Majesty, please send troops to arrest Rong Baichuan immediately!"
"Who... are you?" the emperor asked.
Um? ? ?
It wasn't that he was lazy when he was emperor. There were so many officials from all levels in the capital, big and small, and there were fifty or sixty of them in the court alone.
He was not a genius with a photographic memory, so how could he remember a minor official who was not very prominent?
The man was stunned for a moment before replying, "I...I am Yang Cun, the Imperial Counselor."
"Yang Qing..." The emperor spoke slowly, his expression ambiguous, "How did you know that Rong Baichuan had escaped from prison and fled with his troops?"
"Your humble servant...yesterday late at night, I heard the sound of horse hooves on the long street. I went out to take a look and found it was General Rong, so I sent someone to inquire about it."
Although he had already thought of his words, Yang Cun still spoke haltingly, with a thin layer of sweat on his back.
He didn't understand why the emperor suddenly asked him "Who are you"?
Is this a casual question because you really don't remember it? Or did you discover something?
Just then, a report came from outside.
"Your Majesty, General Rong led his troops to the north gate, but was captured by the commander defending the city and has been brought to the palace gate."
The emperor's face darkened when he heard this.
After escaping from prison and saving people, he didn't crawl back like a rat, but led his troops to attack the city in a swagger!
That loser is doing something behind his back again!
"Bring him up to me." The emperor roared, slamming the table.
