Chapter 336: Burying 400,000 Enemy Troops
Ye Chutang's fall made everyone nervous.
Especially Sun Chu.
His poison hasn't been cured yet!
"What happened to Madam Qi? Will she be okay?"
Although Qi Yanzhou didn't know why Ye Chutang fell into a coma, he knew that she would wake up.
It will definitely get better.
"Don't worry, Mr. Sun. Atang is not in danger of death. Xi Ze, come over and give him medicine and acupuncture."
"Yes, Master."
Xi Ze fed Ye Chutang some nourishing and invigorating pills, and inserted silver needles into her Ren Zhong, Hegu and Taichong points.
Just in case, he also used silver needles to protect Ye Chutang's heart meridian.
As a result, Ye Chutang did not wake up.
In fact, she was conscious, but she was too tired and didn't even have the strength to open her eyelids.
This made Qi Yanzhou very anxious, and he stayed by Ye Chutang's side all the time.
Chen Kui was so anxious that he was sweating profusely and paced back and forth anxiously.
"Madam Qi, please don't let anything happen to you, otherwise everyone will be trapped and die underground."
Although what he said was not wrong, it made Qi Yanzhou unhappy.
"If it weren't for Atang, Linzhou City would have been massacred. If something happens to her, why not let everyone be buried with her?"
Chen Kui was speechless.
Chen Ruoyun quickly tried to smooth things over, "Mr. Qi, please don't be offended that my father doesn't know how to talk. He just wants Madam Qi to wake up soon and be in good health."
Chen Kui nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, that's what I mean."
Ye Chutang got into trouble because of Linzhou City, so of course he hoped that she would be safe and sound.
But when I was worried about Ye Chutang, I thought of everyone's situation and expressed my concerns.
Qi Yanzhou was too lazy to pay attention to Chen Kui. After Xize took out the silver needle, he used his internal energy to relax Ye Chutang's muscles and meridians, hoping to find the problem.
Ye Chutang felt warm all over and very comfortable. The little consciousness he had left faded away and he fell into a deep sleep.
She slept for three days.
Qi Yanzhou hadn't slept for three days and looked even more haggard than Ye Chutang.
He felt the person in his arms move, and quickly said, "Atang, are you awake?"
Due to Ye Chutang's long coma, the underground space was so quiet that only the sound of breathing could be heard.
As soon as Qi Yanzhou opened his mouth, everyone looked at him with hope on their faces.
Only if Ye Chutang wakes up can they get out alive!
Ye Chutang slowly opened his eyes, looked at Qi Yanzhou who was worried, and raised the corners of his mouth in a faint smile.
"I'm sorry to have made you worry. I'm fine."
After saying that, she sat up and raised her hand to rub her stuffy temples.
"How long have I slept?"
Qi Yanzhou held Ye Chutang tightly in his arms, as if he was holding a lost treasure that had been found again.
"Three days. You were unconscious for three whole days."
After saying that, he gently pushed Ye Chutang away and looked her up and down.
"Atang, how do you feel now? Are you feeling unwell?"
Ye Chutang took his own pulse.
I feel a little weak, so I just need to rest for a few days.
She shook her head. "There's nothing serious wrong with my body. I'll be fine in two days."
Qi Yanzhou has been taking Ye Chutang's pulse for the past three days.
I know she's recovered well.
"Atang, you must be hungry. Drink some water and eat something first."
It was impossible to make a fire underground, so everyone was hungry and ate dry food.
It was not convenient for Ye Chutang to take spiritual spring water and food from the space, so he drank a sip of water and ate a pancake with pickles.
After eating, she regained some strength and stood up.
The underground space is actually quite large, but it seems extremely crowded because it accommodates so many people.
Although there are ventilation holes, the room hasn't been cleaned for three days, so you can imagine the smell.
Seeing that Ye Chutang was not seriously injured, Chen Kui hurried forward.
"Mrs. Qi, how did you get injured and unconscious? Did something happen?"
Ye Chutang naturally couldn't say that it was caused by excessive use of his supernatural powers.
She made up an excuse, "Although 'Ghost Thief' is my man, he and I are also bound by interests. I asked him to do things for me, so I have to pay the price."
When Chen Kui heard this, he knelt on one knee and saluted Ye Chutang with his fists clasped.
"Madam Qi, you saved the lives of all the people in Linzhou City, and also saved the lives of more than 100,000 soldiers of the Chen family. If you need me in the future, just ask. I will spare no effort to help you."
Ye Chutang saved everyone's life.
Her kindness was greater than Qi Yanzhou's, so naturally she deserved his return.
Ye Chutang helped Chen Kui up.
"I have taken note of General Chen's words. If there is any need, I will definitely ask you for help."
Chen Kui didn't like to owe favors to others, so he felt relieved when he saw that Ye Chutang didn't reject his sincerity.
"Mrs. Qi, we have almost finished the water and dry food we brought. When can we go out?"
"I'll go out and check the situation first."
Qi Yanzhou grabbed Ye Chutang who was about to leave.
"Atang, you are still very weak and need more rest. Show me the way and I will go out to take a look."
Chen Kui echoed, "Madam Qi, if there is nothing you need to do in person, just let me do it."
"The ten-mile radius of Linzhou City is covered in snow. Are you sure you can get out?"
After these words were spoken, Qi Yanzhou and Chen Kui fell silent.
There is no point in trying to be stubborn when you can't do something.
Ye Chutang put on her cloak and went into the nearest toilet.
There are so many people living underground that even if the excrement is covered with soil, the smell can still be smelled.
Fortunately, when she built the toilet before, she took privacy issues into consideration and made it with a corner.
When her figure disappeared from everyone's sight, she immediately teleported to the mountain closest to Linzhou City.
As she said, the entire Linzhou city was buried, and the snow was very thick.
The snow was smooth and flat, without any other traces.
It can be seen that the people of Xiyi, Nanling and Dongsang were buried in the snow, and no one left alive.
The houses in the northwest are generally built on high platforms.
It is built with adobe, mud and poplar wood and is quite sturdy.
When an avalanche strikes, part of its force is blocked by the city walls, and the impact is weakened.
As long as the house is not built with shoddy materials, it will not collapse.
Ye Chutang was not in a hurry to ask the people below to come out.
She entered the space.
A lot of merit points were spent on creating the avalanche.
But she saved many people and her salary increased by nearly 30,000.
At present, there are still about 700,000 merit points, which is enough for her to use for a long time.
Ye Chutang found some of his favorite dishes and filled his stomach.
She ate some fruits irrigated by the spiritual spring water and immediately felt much more energetic.
Come out of space.
Ye Chutang opened the passages leading to the underground space of each house.
Then he used his supernatural powers to build a passage ten feet wide and ten miles long, leading to the south of Linzhou City.
Because when you use wood to bake snow, the melted snow water will drip from the vents, making it damp and wet.
As a result, the underground space becomes uninhabitable.
Therefore, the people and Chen’s army had to be moved to a place outside the avalanche and stay there for two days.
Ye Chutang went to the granary of the Chen family army camp and took out some food, enough for the people and the Chen family army to eat for the next two days.
After finishing her work, she returned to the underground.
She said to Chen Kui, "General Chen, the entire Linzhou city is buried in snow. It is uninhabitable. We need to ask the people to go home and bring down wood to burn and melt the snow. It will take about two days."
“How are we going to get wood when the houses are buried?”
"The underground entrances to the people's homes have been opened. Let them dig out the passages themselves."
Shoveling snow was not a difficult task, and Chen Kui immediately went to inform the people.
When the people saw there was a way to survive, they took action immediately.
The crowded underground space became a little more spacious.
Chen Kui came to Ye Chutang again and asked, "Madam Qi, this underground space is used to burn wood, where will the people live?"
Ye Chutang walked to the south earth wall and pushed it.
There was a hole in the paper-thin wall.
"There is a passage to the south here, so the people and Chen's army can stay outside for the time being."
"So Madam Qi has already made all the arrangements. What about the grain and grass in the granary?"
"Once everyone leaves here, the 'Ghost Thief' will deliver the food and fodder to the exit of this passage, so that the Chen family army and the people will not starve."
When Chen Kui heard this, he slapped his thigh hard.
"I have to let the people bring the pot."
You can go without vegetables, but you can’t go without staple foods.
After he left, Qi Yanzhou pulled Ye Chutang to sit against the wall.
"Atang, hundreds of thousands of enemy soldiers died near Linzhou City. Even if the bodies are buried, it is easy to cause plague when the weather is hot. Do you want to take precautions in advance?"
"No, after the snow melts, the 'ghost thieves' will bury the bodies deep underground."
When mentioning "ghost thief", Qi Yanzhou's expression became solemn.
"Ah Tang, why didn't you tell me earlier that trading with the 'Ghost Thief' would hurt you?"
Ye Chutang leaned against the wall and said disapprovingly: "Any transaction has a price. As long as the benefits outweigh the disadvantages, it is worth doing."
After saying that, she pressed Qi Yanzhou's thin lips with her index finger, not wanting to listen to his chatter.
"If I hadn't borrowed the power of the 'Ghost Thief' this time, Beichen would have been destroyed. I only suffered some internal injuries and will recover soon. This deal is worth it."
Qi Yanzhou held Ye Chutang's hand and looked at her seriously.
"Is your body really alright? You won't suffer any irreversible damage from the transaction?"
"It's really okay. I won't use my life to buy someone else's."
Ye Chutang leaned lazily on Qi Yanzhou's shoulder and rubbed it coquettishly.
"And this is the only time I've made such a damaging deal with the Ghost Thief. This time, we wiped out 400,000 enemy troops, severely damaging the vitality of the Three Kingdoms. For at least the next 20 years, they will be cowards, constantly worried about the counterattack from the Beichen Kingdom that will destroy them."
At this point, she asked: "Do you think the dog emperor will take this opportunity to annex the neighboring countries?"
This is a great opportunity to unify the five kingdoms!
Qi Yanzhou said with certainty, "No, the emperor doesn't dare to send troops to attack neighboring countries. He is afraid that I will take advantage of the opportunity to seize his kingdom."
Ye Chutang curled his lips and said disdainfully: "Even if the dog emperor keeps all his troops by his side, he can't protect his throne."
"Of course, it's unfair to the people of the world for the Zhao family to sit on the throne!"
"Now that there are no external enemies, you can focus on eliminating the internal pests."
Qi Yanzhou nodded, "The country has to change hands, but we can't let civil unrest affect people's livelihood. We have to erode the power of the royal family step by step and make it invisible."
Ye Chutang is not interested in political intrigues.
"You decide. After we have arranged for the people in Linzhou City, we will return to Tianshan County. An An and Le Le's Hundred Days Banquet is coming soon."
"Okay, it's still early, we'll set off soon."
***
The people went back and forth and moved a lot of wood.
There were also wealthy businessmen who took away a lot of coal.
Everyone was talking about it, and what they were discussing was the enemy soldiers who had frozen to death in their own homes.
After Ye Chutang felt that there was enough wood and coal, he said to Chen Kui, "That's enough. Tell everyone not to take any more. Hurry up and pack your bags and leave with the Chen family army."
When she was resting before, she used the earth-based power to place food and grass at the exit of the passage.
And asked Chen Kui to arrange soldiers to guard it.
Chen Kui immediately arranged for the people to evacuate.
The passage was wide enough, and the people and Chen's army left one after another, and the crowded underground space became empty again.
Chen Kui looked up at the top of the building inlaid with the night-shining pearl and asked worriedly, "When the snow water flows down, will it extinguish the burning wood?"
Ye Chutang shook his head affirmatively.
"This space is a little way off the ground, like a huge furnace. The principle of burning charcoal to melt snow is similar to that of a kang. When the heat reaches the ground, the wood inside has been burned out, leaving only some coal. When the snow melts and drips down, the coal is almost burned out, but the residual heat is enough to melt the snow on the ground."
The underground space is only one-fifth the size of Linzhou City.
Because of thermal radiation, the area of snowmelt will be larger.
The remaining snow needs to be cleared by manpower from the people and Chen’s army.
Chen Kui is just a rough guy who only knows how to fight, and he does whatever Ye Chutang says.
"Mrs. Qi, you guys go first. I'll stay and light the wood and coal."
Ye Chutang nodded and said, "Put the firewood and coal in piles, and they will burn better."
"Okay, I understand."
Qi Yanzhou didn't want Ye Chutang to be too tired, so he picked her up and walked into the passage.
Ten miles is still a long way. Even if he walked fast, it still took him half an hour to walk.
Coming out of the small space, the view becomes broader and my mood becomes better.
Chen's army distributed some food to the people.
People are cooking porridge using their own iron pots and coal.
Qi Yanzhou thought about the long journey and decided to drink some hot porridge before going on.
Ye Chutang was just about to deal with the enemy's bodies and nodded in agreement.
"I'm going to meet up with the 'Ghost Thief' and I'll be right back."
Qi Yanzhou now has a great distrust of the "ghost thief" and looks worried.
"Don't let yourself get hurt again."
"Don't worry, burying a body is a piece of cake for a 'ghost thief'. The price I paid is very small."
Ye Chutang left after saying this.
It is indeed not a difficult task to bury the bodies of nearly 400,000 people using earth-related abilities.
It wasn't very laborious, but it cost nearly 100,000 merit points.
If it were in the past, she would definitely feel distressed, but now she is "confident" and just spends the money.
After all, these people died because of her.
Fortunately, it is a life-and-death battlefield, no matter good or bad, it is just a battle for survival.
Otherwise, if she used her superpowers to kill so many people, not only would she be punished, but her superpowers would also disappear.
It took Ye Chutang two quarters of an hour to bury all the bodies deep underground.
Feeling the densely packed corpses underground, she felt a chill down her spine.
Even in the end times, there have never been so many zombie corpses seen at the same time.
"The ambition of those in power makes people's lives worthless!"
At this moment, she finally understood Qi Yanzhou's intention of taking his time.
Only those who have experienced the battlefield and seen the mountains of corpses and seas of blood know the preciousness of human life.
