The guard stopped when he heard this.
They need to obey orders, not to mention that the girl is guarded by two commanders on both sides.
The entire forest was surrounded by hundreds of guards, and not even a mosquito could fly out.
And in the woods.
The fighting continued, and the group of unruly people all shouted and shouted to kill Wei Xiyin and others.
When Wei Lang saw them coming towards his sister, he immediately became anxious. His long tasseled spear was as fast as lightning, and he attacked with extreme ferocity.
If anyone dares to bully his sister, he will smash that person's head.
Qin Shan and Chang Ying protected the girl in front and soon started fighting with the newcomer.
The long tassel spear is mainly used for stabbing, and the spear technique is winding and circular, flexible and changeable. It is also a long weapon. Once it is swung, it is almost impossible to get close to the enemy. Those who rush over will fall down with screams before they can react.
Blood splattered everywhere as those people rushed forward desperately.
All the guards in the woods have arrived, holding round shields and forming a battle array in front.
In a few moments, an iron wall had formed around them. Not to mention killing the Wei girl, they couldn't even get close to her.
Wei Xiyin stood where he was, sword in hand, watching everything in front of him coldly.
They were just a bunch of rabble, it was not her turn to take action.
As the battlefield became more and more chaotic, blood flowed like a river on the ground and more and more people fell down. Some people regained their senses, became frightened, took two steps back, turned around and tried to run.
But there was no way to escape, as the woods were surrounded. Before he could even step out of the woods, he was captured alive by the guards outside.
The guards were well-trained and quickly gained the upper hand, killing most of the enemies and capturing about ten alive.
The man was escorted by the guards, lying face down on the ground, unable to move.
The guards made way.
Wei Xiyin walked slowly, her shoes stained with sticky blood, making strange noises as she walked, but she remained calm.
Wei Xiyin stared down at the people lying on the ground and asked, "My Wei family has no grudges against you. You are not asking for food or kindness, so why are you attacking the Wei family?"
The people on the ground stared at her, their eyes filled with hatred. They turned their heads and spat, "Bah! It's because you, the aristocratic families, commit so many evil deeds on a daily basis that you attract heaven's punishment. How innocent are our relatives? How innocent are all the living beings in the world!"
"Heavenly punishment?" Wei Xiyin curled her lips. "So you attribute this disaster to divine punishment? And you're putting the blame on us?"
As expected, sooner or later you will have to pay for what you have done. This is exactly the same as what she did when she promoted cremation.
Wei Xiyin was so angry that she laughed. "The Wei family has always been known for its virtue and care for the people of Qinghe County. You all just put such a serious crime on us because of a disagreement. Do you have any basis for it?"
Seeing her still trying to quibble, the man fell to the ground and struggled hard, "The signs of divine punishment have long been there. The Wei family colluded with the Yizhou army and annexed the granary. They've done so many evil things, and you still want to deny it!"
"Heaven and Earth are unkind, treating all things as straw dogs. All court officials fear the king, but you nobles, relying on the emperor's remoteness, act recklessly, incurring the wrath of Heaven. This is why this disaster has occurred. It's all because of you..."
Wei Xiyin quickly caught a glimpse of something unusual, and keenly grasped the key point. Her face darkened, and she demanded sternly, "Who told you this?"
How could ordinary people, who could not even read a single word, say something like "Heaven and earth are not benevolent, and treat all things as straw dogs" in such a literary way?
The man on the ground had a look of panic in his eyes and turned his head away without answering.
Wei Xiyin narrowed her eyes and stared at him for a long time. Noticing something was amiss, she looked towards the dark tomb robbing hole and ordered, "Chang Ying, lead people in to search immediately. I want to see who is behind this!"
"yes!"
Chang Ying led a team of people into the tomb through the tunnel.
The few people lying on the ground began to struggle desperately, stiffening their necks and shouting, "There's no one inside. You can kill us or chop us up as you please. Even if you turn into evil spirits, we will never let you go."
Wei Xiyin sneered, "Okay, I'll wait. Someone, cover his mouth."
These people have obviously been brainwashed, and explanations are useless.
Besides, why should she explain?
Ordinary people, due to lack of knowledge and limited exposure, rely on superstition to comfort themselves or pray to change their fate. Once they are deeply involved in it, they cannot extricate themselves.
When disasters occur, they do not know the reasons and are easily misled into blaming others for their own cowardice and incompetence.
But this is not an excuse for them to kill people at will.
Cao Awang saw that the situation was under control and walked into the woods to report: "Miss, a hundred soldiers have been guarding outside, and no one has escaped."
Wei Xiyin didn't say anything. Did no one escape?
It wasn't that she doubted her subordinates, but she felt that their attitude was very strange. They looked anxious to die but also timid, as if they were afraid of something.
If they are not afraid of death, what else are they afraid of?
Chang Ying led thirty of his men into the tomb. It was very dark inside, so the guards lit torches and the group walked slowly and cautiously.
The ancient tomb was very large and dark. The sound of footsteps echoed in the quiet shrine.
The mechanisms on both sides of the passage have been destroyed. Looking at the broken murals on the wall, it is obvious that the tomb is very old. After passing the stele pavilion, the guards were divided into three teams and searched carefully.
When we walked into the tomb owner's chamber, we saw white bones piled up in the four corners, most of which were broken and scattered everywhere.
The guards gasped at the sight. Most of the bones were headless, scattered about, with a few pots on the ground...
Those people in Changlan Village actually eat people...
Some people got goosebumps instantly.
