Chapter 151: Military Orders Are Like Mountains
The heavy night gradually faded in the unprecedented tense search, and when faced with the horror of Sicheng, General Xiao did not show the slightest impatience and timidity.
However, when Ye Xi was not found all night, this General Xiao's patience was almost exhausted.
After a night of meticulous searching, Shen Sheng and Xie Xiaomeng's consumption was extremely high, comparable to three days of disaster fighting, every inch of land in Sicheng was turned out, and every household did not even miss the firewood house.
However, there is still none.
In the huge Sicheng, there is not even a shadow of Ye Xi.
The two stood beside Xiao Peichen tremblingly, carefully shrunk together, they couldn't bear the general's anger.
There was a sound of neat footsteps in my ears, and I saw that the last group of searchers had returned, and behind them was a rising orange sun, and those who watched were full of hope.
"General Hui, there is no trace of Mr. Ye. ”
So in the end, all hope was lost.
Xiao Peichen stood in place, silent.
The master didn't speak, and the others naturally didn't dare to speak, so thousands of people watched the sunrise in silence, and the scene was simply spectacular.
Xiao Peichen looked at Shen Sheng, there was an emotion in his eyes that Shen Sheng couldn't understand, but Shen Sheng's heart subconsciously felt uneasy, and the general's eyes were a little ...... The smell of the shipwreck......
"There is still a place to be found. Xiao Peichen said in a deep voice.
"No, general, we've searched everywhere!" Xie Xiaomeng said in a hoarse voice, looking for Ye Xi last night, Xie Xiaomeng was ruthless, and after one night, the whole person was tired.
And Shen Sheng heard Xiao Peichen's words, his heart jumped, and a feeling of never being what I thought came to his heart, and then he heard Xiao Peichen say:
"Mass graves. ”
Xie Xiaomeng reacted quickly and said to Xiao Peichen:
"General, the mass graves are now full of people who have died of the plague, how could Ye Xi be in that kind of place. ”
And Shen Sheng thought more, he looked at Xiao Peichen with a look of fear, and his voice was stained with a hint of panic:
"General, Ye Xi's face has not been very good before, I have always thought that it was just his poor health, but now that I think about it...... Ye Xi is a person who has been exposed to malaria since the beginning, and it is very likely that he has been infected from the beginning, and with the fatigue of these days, it is very likely that he is really ......"
Shen Sheng didn't dare to think about it, because the more he thought about it, the more he felt that his idea was really very possible.
"General, what are we going to do then?" Xie Xiaomeng simply didn't bother to pay attention to these things, he just wanted to find Ye Xi quickly, because last time, he was the first to find Ye Xi with a whiplash, and those shocking scars have always been imprinted in his heart.
After he knew that Ye Xi was the general's wife, he felt even more that he should protect this princess, and now that it was gone again, the pain caused by the nerve endings made his heart shrink tightly.
"I'm going to a mass grave. Xiao Peichen said very calmly.
"No, General, I'll go!"
"No, General, I'll go!"
Shen Sheng and Xie Xiaomeng said in unison, and after finishing speaking, the two looked at each other, and they both saw the turbulent waves in each other's eyes.
What kind of identity is Xiao Peichen, even if he values Ye Xi again, he must not take this risk.
At this moment, the two of them have completely forgotten the fact that Ye Xi is the princess of Xiao Peichen, because in their hearts, even if Ye Xi is important, he is not as good as Xiao Peichen.
Choosing between the two is almost subconscious.
But Ye Xi is very important to them, so they can go into the mass grave to find Ye Xi.
But, Xiao Peichen, no way!
Xiao Peichen glanced at them, and asked someone to lead the team back to continue the work of the previous few days, the epidemic has been controlled, and the danger is not so great.
Xiao Peichen is a general, what he said is naturally a military order, the soldiers went back in an orderly manner, Xiao Peichen pulled out a white towel from his sleeve, and ran in one direction with a brisk step.
Shen Sheng and Xie Xiaomeng naturally followed immediately, and the general's direction was simply going to the mass grave, without the slightest intention of listening to their words.
The three of them walked very quickly, and in front of them was a barren place, and there was a disgusting smell in the air, and as far as the eye could see, those who had died in the plague were lying lying on their backs, looking extremely miserable.
The two caught up with Xiao Peichen's pace and hurriedly persuaded:
"General, by all means, Ye Xi is just a strategist, how can you go into the mass grave to find him!"
Shen Sheng is simply bitter, and he is heartbroken for Xiao Peichen.
It's just that I was going to illuminate the moon, but the bright moon shines on the ditch!
Xiao Peichen ignored Shen Sheng at all, and directly strode over the fence of isolation.
Shen Sheng and Xie Xiaomeng gritted their steel teeth, stepped forward, one attacked Xiao Peichen's lower plate, and the other attacked Xiao Peichen's upper body, obviously intending to forcibly bring Xiao Peichen back.
Xiao Peichen's eyes turned sharp, turned his palm into a fist, and collided with Xie Xiaomeng's iron fist without showing weakness!
At the same time, he lifted his feet and kicked horizontally on the chests of the two, Shen Sheng's attack failed, and he was kicked back by Xiao Peichen, and he took three steps back for a while, and then he unloaded the force on his body.
And Xie Xiaomeng was even worse, she was kicked in the chest, and she was punched by Xiao Peichen, with a dishful face, covering her chest, watching Xiao Peichen cross the fence and enter the mass grave.
The two looked at each other extremely miserably, and the two of them couldn't stop the general together, so it seemed that they could only sacrifice their lives to accompany the gentleman!
The three of them entered the mass grave, the rising sun, the warm sunlight sprinkled on their bodies, and also sprinkled on the corpses all over the place, Shen Sheng shuddered, so many people, where is Ye Xi.
Xie Xiaomeng tied the white towel to his face, fortunately, he had become accustomed to it these days, he immediately bent down and began to look for Ye Xi, turning over the corpses lying on his stomach, and confirming them one by one.
Not far away, Xiao Peichen, like Xie Xiaomeng, looked through carefully.
Ye Xi's smile appeared in Shen Sheng's mind, a smile with a hint of ruffian and open-mindedness, his eyebrows would be slightly raised, and a pair of apricot eyes were radiant, with endless cunning and spirituality.
I couldn't help but feel some guilt in my heart, just now in the choice between the general and her, they all chose the general, and in the mass grave, Ye Xi must be afraid that he can't do it.
Shen Sheng walked quickly in the other direction, and the three of them quickly looked at the corpse in a triangular shape.
The sun was gradually rising, the surroundings were getting hotter and hotter, and the towels could not block the disgusting smell of corpses, and the three of them were constantly sweating on their foreheads, and large drops of sweat fell, and the three of them had no time to wipe them, so they could only look for them quickly.
The people who came to cremate the corpse saw the three people in such a frantic search, and they were stunned for a moment, and then shouted loudly:
"I don't know who is wrong! Is the mass grave you can break into?!"
Before Shen Sheng could deal with it, he heard the fierce man shouting in panic:
"See the general!"
Xiao Peichen's hands were full of dirt, but the aura on his body was still terrifying, and through the white towel, he could only hear Xiao Peichen say in a muffled voice:
"Stay away. ”
Shen Sheng's heart moved, and he worked harder and harder.
Because the mass grave is so large, many of the corpses are stacked on top of each other, and it is very difficult to find them.
At sunset, the day had passed, and they turned over most of the corpses in the mass grave, but Ye Xi was still nowhere to be seen.
Shen Sheng couldn't help but think in his heart, could it be, Ye Xi is not here at all, after all, Ye Xi is a big living person, how could he be brought to such a place.
It was getting darker and darker, and my vision was blocked, and I could barely see the silhouette of a person.
Their hands have long been turned to numbness, and their eyes are about to look at flowers, and they have been gritting their teeth and persevering.
The sky finally completely darkened, and he couldn't see his five fingers, Shen Sheng stood in place, hunched his back, and bent over for a long time making it difficult for him to straighten his back for a while.
Heavy breathing sounded intermittently in his ears, and Shen Sheng could only hear the sound of the wind in his ears and the click of Xie Xiaomeng accidentally stepping on human bones.
All this seemed so gloomy and desolate, however, there was still no Ye Xi.
Shen Sheng couldn't see where Xiao Peichen was, and even the sound of his breathing seemed so ethereal and unpredictable.
Still, he said:
"General, it's getting dark, you go back first, Xie Xiaomeng and I can stay and look for it at night!"
If you stay here like this for so long, sooner or later you will catch the plague!
No one responded to him, Shen Sheng hung his head helplessly, obviously the general didn't know that Ye Xi was his princess, but he valued her so much, regardless of his own danger, he entered the mass grave and searched for her all day.
At this moment, he was a little skeptical that the general already knew Ye Xi's true identity.
The night breeze was cool, blowing away the heat of a hundred days and making the surroundings quiet.
Gradually getting used to the darkness, Shen Sheng continued to rummage through Ye Xi, but the efficiency was much lower than during the day.
Soon, sparks lit up around, and I saw Xiao Peichen's subordinates walking quickly towards this side with torches, they were busy all day, and finally made time to help the general!
However, before they could cross the fence, they heard Xiao Peichen say:
"Don't come. ”
A cadre of soldiers looked at the half-human high fence, and their hearts were suddenly very entangled, as long as one step can easily step over, but the general said such words.
There were always a few disobedient people in the group, and I saw that some of them were about to raise their legs, when they heard the voice of their own general explode in their ears:
"This is a military order!"
Military orders are like mountains.
Everyone stood in solemn place, torches held high, hoping to illuminate the night a little brighter.
Because of the lighting, the speed of the three of them suddenly became much faster.
The dense soldiers were stunned and didn't make a sound at all.
Just when Xie Xiaomeng was looking for a place and was dizzy, he felt a gust of wind passing by, and saw his general holding a person in his hand and walking out quickly.
