In mid-August, King Dai was arrested by the Autumn Officials. After being charged with many crimes, he was taken to Xizhou and beheaded in front of the Changrong River, where Yanqu had once ravaged the area.
The head fell from the blow of the sword and rolled into the vast river below.
The local people cursed and spat in King Dai's face, but after King Dai was executed, they went to Huai Chang's tombstone to kowtow and pay tribute to mourn his kindness and deeds.
"That should be fine."
Standing by the Changrong River, Loran Hill could still see traces of river sand and mud on both sides of the river. These were left behind by the monster Yanqu when it wreaked havoc in the first half of the year. The Yanqu caused continuous heavy rain, and the river water surged, flooding the state city and the plains, killing countless people.
Upon learning of this, King Dai did not send his extraordinary people to eliminate the monsters, but was wholeheartedly preparing to go to Luojing to inherit the throne. Not only that, he also ordered other people who came to help him with all their strength and not to be easily transferred.
Such narrow-mindedness is naturally despicable, but King Dai was at the peak of his power at that time, and no one dared to offend him. Later, the disaster caused by the Yanqu became more and more serious, and countless people died in floods and torrential rains.
If it weren't for the hero from the distant mountains who took action in the end, the disaster of Yanqu would probably have spread to other provinces and counties, causing more people to suffer.
Thinking about these things in his mind, Loran Hill walked on the grassy and rocky hillside by the river, strolling towards the top of the mountain.
This mountain path was recently dug by local people, and you can still see a lot of traces of gravel paving. Along the mountain path, some local people climbed up the stairs.
Wearing a veil, Loran Hill also walked slowly forward among the crowd until they reached a small open space on the top of the mountain. Under a tall beech tree, a rough and ancient oval boulder stood with a few large characters engraved on it.
'Huai Chang's Tomb'
Simple and unpretentious, just like its name.
Many old people and children walked quietly to the tombstone, carefully inserted three incense sticks into the large tripod full of incense ashes, then slowly knelt down and mourned silently. After a long time, they slowly stood up with misty eyes and left.
Only those who have personally experienced the disaster that swept across the world can understand how precious and rare it is to have such a hero appear in the world and save everyone from the evil and danger.
Following these people, Loran Hill also took out three incense sticks and lit them. He first bowed, then inserted them into the big cauldron, mourned silently, and then left.
