When Chi Xingyue learned the inside story, he no longer felt sorry for the people in the cave.
But she still didn't dare to kill anyone.
I looked up and saw a huge rock in the distance, which seemed to have fallen from the mountain due to the earthquake some time ago.
Chi Xingyue trotted over to the boulder, stretched out his hand, and put the stone into the space.
Then he trotted over, waved his hand, and blocked the entrance of the cave with stones.
Although it didn't fit perfectly, it was still a huge rock that even a hundred or eighty people might not be able to move.
Doing this is like trapping people inside and leaving them to die.
Chi Xingyue clapped his hands and called himself a messenger of justice.
Looking at the mottled grass that was pressed by stones, Chi Xingyue brought out the spiritual spring water and watered the nearby land.
The grass immediately perked up and even grew a bit taller.
In this way, there is no trace of the stone moving.
It looks like it grew here naturally.
The two did not stay there. After cleaning up the traces, they returned to the village.
Ling San and Ling Si were already getting impatient.
Seeing Ling Jiheng injured, they were all horrified. They only breathed a sigh of relief when they were sure he wasn't seriously injured.
"Master, what's the matter with you? Please give us a signal. Why are you here by yourself?"
Ling Jiheng waved his hand and didn't care much.
After drinking the fairy water, he felt that his wounds were about to scab over.
"Okay, how's your exploration going?"
Speaking of this, Ling San and Ling Si's expressions turned grim. Pursing their lips, they recounted what they had seen.
“There are a total of 368 people in the village. Excluding the more than 100 people who went down the mountain, there are still more than 200 left.
The ones we slaughtered were the third in command, the fourth in command, and the fifth in command.
The first, second, and third leaders of their village are all very skilled and look like they came from the army."
“There are no other women in the village except for one cook.
When Ling Si and I arrived, we heard the Second and First Boss mumbling about why the Third Boss hadn't returned yet. They were planning to send someone down to look for him.
In a hurry, we spread drugs and knocked them unconscious in the hall."
"Then, worried as we were, we searched the eldest master's room and found letters between him and the third prince."
Ling Si took out a letter from his arms. Ling Jiheng opened it and his face darkened.
This bastard is truly heartless. He actually sent soldiers to fake their own deaths and take control of Black Wind Village.
In addition, he also planned to let the boss sell the news about Zhou’s army to Northern Liao. This is simply insane!
Chi Xingyue was also shocked when he caught a glimpse of the contents on the paper.
If she remembered correctly, the Zhou family army was the garrison of Youzhou, and General Zhou dedicated his entire life to the Great Yong Dynasty, guarding the border for the old emperor.
Unfortunately, good people don’t get rewarded.
When the extreme cold came, Northern Liao invaded. The Zhou family army was short of food and clothing, and used their flesh and blood to block the Northern Liao army outside Youzhou City.
Of the 200,000-strong army, only 50,000 remained. Rivers of blood flowed, and corpses littered the ground.
After spring came and flowers bloomed, the Zhou family army fought back and successfully captured Laizhou, Dading Prefecture and other places, expanding the territory of the Dayong Dynasty.
However, the new emperor did not treat the Zhou family well. He accused them of treason and had them all executed.
The entire family of loyal and brave people disappeared from the scene.
When Chi Xingyue was reading the book, he also lamented the Zhou family's blind loyalty.
If I had not believed the sweet words of the new emperor, if I had not calmly accepted the false accusations, I would have been safe even if I had lived in Youzhou, a remote place, for the rest of my life.
After reading this letter, Chi Xingyue suddenly realized.
This is a Machiavellian scheme.
The Third Prince's wife was reborn and naturally knew General Zhou's reputation among the people.
Faced with natural disasters and man-made calamities, the people of the Yong Dynasty urgently needed a spiritual leader to lead them out of their predicament.
The royal family can't do it, and the civil and military officials in the court can't do it, but General Zhou, who has guarded the border for many years for the sake of the century-old foundation of the Dayong Dynasty, can do it.
In the life before the Third Prince's wife was reborn, Northern Liao was busy preparing for the winter and did not invade.
Zhou's army also retained all its strength in the extremely cold weather.
Shangjing was in chaos, Jiangnan was in chaos, but Youzhou was very stable.
If it weren't for General Zhou's help, it would be hard to say when the Great Yong Dynasty would be able to stabilize.
The Zhou family was too prominent, and the streets were filled with calls for General Zhou to ascend the throne.
However, General Zhou, mindful of their old friendship and not wanting to be criticized by future generations, reluctantly supported the third prince, who was considered decent, to ascend the throne.
So after she was reborn, oh, that is, in the book, or in this life where Chi Xingyue was, the Third Prince's wife gave the Third Prince an idea, sending a message to Bei Liao in advance, asking them to invade during the extreme cold to weaken the strength of the Zhou family army.
In addition, make preparations yourself and wait for spring to come and take over the power in the capital and the Jiangnan region.
It would be effortless to arrest the Zhou family, which only had a few members left, on the charge of treason.
However, Chi Xingyue arrived and directly exposed the third prince's conspiracy with Ling Jiheng.
The two looked at each other and felt that this trip was just in time.
Not only did he receive so much gold, but he also got a letter of surrender.
Ling Jiheng gave a wink to Ling San and Ling Si, and the two left to deal with the bandits.
Ling Jiheng took Chi Xingyue to search the bandits' lair and found not only dozens of bags of food, but also seven or eight boxes.
There is not only gold and silver, but also various kinds of jewelry.
Bandits are different from wealthy families. They don’t like porcelain, calligraphy and paintings, and only leave behind things that can be quickly converted into cash.
Chi Xingyue noticed that the jewels in the box were all of good quality and couldn't help but raise an eyebrow: "As expected, he was once a general. His aesthetic taste is quite good."
Ling Jiheng nodded, cleared out a box, picked out the best ones, and stuffed them into Chi Xingyue's pockets.
Part of the remaining money was used as hard work compensation for Ling San and others, and part was given to Zhou Changsong to distribute to the servants of the Jiangning Prefecture.
Chi Xingyue held the box, smiling like a little fox. However, she didn't dare to put it into the space, fearing that the secret would be exposed.
However, she kept those secret letters in the village committee compound and kept them safely.
Maybe it will come in handy when we get to Youzhou.
Another hour passed, and Ling San and Ling Si came back. A bloody smell hung over the entire village.
Ling Si said seriously, "Master, we found more than a dozen naked girls in the cellar. They are in very bad condition."
Ling Jiheng immediately understood what he meant and allocated some of his belongings: "Give it to them and let them find their own way to survive."
Ling Si nodded: "Yes!"
Chi Xingyue felt depressed, thinking that if she didn't have Ling Jiheng's protection, although she would not suffer the inhuman torture like those girls, her life would definitely not be easy.
But she is not too kind and will keep the person by her side to cultivate him.
As people who have experienced darkness, it is inevitable that their psychology will change.
When they see something beautiful, their first reaction may not be joy, but may be world-destroying violence.
Chi Xingyue would not plant a bomb next to her, and she was very satisfied with the way Ling Jiheng dealt with her.
The two men no longer paid attention to the girls. When they saw Ling San leading the ox cart over, they put the boxes and food on it.
