Shengheng took the lead, galloping on the starlit Gobi with an elite cavalry, like a wild north wind whistling with gravel. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

No matter how anxious he was at this time, there was always a glimmer of hope in his heart: "Yunyang is so smart, she won't do things that she is not sure of." Even if the situation happened suddenly and was uncontrollable, she must have figured out a way to protect herself. If she rushes forward without considering the consequences, then she is not Song Yunyang. ”

Although he continued to use this method to comfort himself, he also understood that in such a complex environment as the Styx, let alone Yunyang breaking in alone, even if she entered an elite army, it was difficult to guarantee that she would be able to escape with her whole body, and besides, she had no actual combat experience at all. Sometimes she looks very clever, but sometimes she is stupid, if she encounters an unexpected situation, her ability to respond to emergencies is a little bit lower, it's really hard to say.

The ending of comedy and tragedy that Shengheng constantly imagined in his mind also went up and down, up and down, and there was no moment of calm.

He didn't dare to think about what he would do in the future if the fire in the Styx really burned everything to ashes.

Yunyang's appearance when he finally left is still vivid. At this time, in Shengheng's mind, her smile, every time she bowed her head, and every sigh became clearer.

"If she dies here because of this, it's all my fault. If I hadn't forcibly taken her out of Luoyang, if I hadn't detained her and forbade her to return to Daqi, she would have been safe a long time ago, and she would not have taken risks for the plague of the Chigu people. ”

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that Yunyang was no longer alive, and in order to resist the pain of loss, he silently made a vow to heaven and earth: "But to let Yunyang live, I am willing to send her back to Luoyang to reunite with Xiaoya." ”

It was in the midst of such anxiety and torment that they finally came to the shore of the Styx.

It was getting late, but it was twilight, and night was not yet falling.

Shengheng looked at the scorching marks by the lake, and began to understand why the cavalry had been frightened and ran back for their lives.

The traces of the burning fire at the scene are too shocking. Sheng Heng saw that the burning marks left on the shore of the Styx Lake were the clearest and darkest in color. The marks didn't look like they were burned at all, but they were blown up, and it was clear that they burned very quickly.

But with the lake of Styx nearby, how did such burn marks appear? It's incredible.

Seung-hyung walked slowly around the Styx, his eyes keenly observing the surroundings, he wanted to find the clues left by Yunyang, but to his disappointment, everything around the Styx Lake was licked by the flames, leaving nothing but charred black land.

When he was ascending to infinite grief, someone came over and said, "Back to the Great Khan, we found a village nearby, most of the houses in it have been burned down, but some of them are still preserved, should we go over and have a look." ”

Sheng Heng's heart tightened, and he immediately waved his big hand: "Okay, hurry up." ”

Entering the village, Shengheng took the lead and ordered the Akatani elite soldiers who followed him not to touch anything here. Although Yunyang said before that as long as the source of the disease disappears, the bone loss disease will also disappear, and no healthy people will be infected with the disease again, but Shengheng is still afraid that there will be the corpses of livestock that died of bone loss disease here. If one is not careful, these elite soldiers who come with them will suffer from illness as a result.

Sure enough, Shengheng's words shocked these soldiers who were loyal to him, and they slowed down one after another.

Sheng Heng looked back at their reactions, and couldn't help but have mixed feelings in his heart: "The plague is rampant, not only destroying the health of the people of Akatani, but also quietly destroying my prestige and the peace of Akatani. Yunyang is desperate to complete this thing this time, and he probably saw such a result. If the epidemic of the plague cannot be stopped as quickly as possible, I am afraid that the entire Akaya tribe will fall into suspicion and war caused by fear. When the time comes, the sword will have no eyes, and the lives will be ruined, and it will evolve into an irreversible defeat. ”

Thinking of this, Sheng Heng felt a lot calmer in his heart, he reined in his horse and said: "I'll go inside to find a worship ceremony, don't follow up, patrol around this village." If you find something that has been used for prostration and sacrifice, you must blow a whistle to remind me, understand? ”

Although the elite soldiers who followed him could not disobey orders, they were still very worried about the safety of Shengheng. One of them said worriedly, "Great Khan, this place in the Styx has a strange climate, hot and cold, and has just passed through a fire...... There is no place to live here. Great Khan, you are alone in this time, it is really not safe, I hope you think twice. ”

Sheng Heng smiled slightly after hearing this: "You are all too worried, I will be fine." ”

After entering the village, Shengheng first went to a few tents that looked fairly intact and checked. The owner of the house was found dead, and the family's livestock had died nearby. Shengheng looked at the dead people and dead animals here, and compared the two with each other, he couldn't help but admire Yunyang.

"Although the deceased here also suffered from bone loss disease, the big bones of the whole body are still there, not as if he died directly because of this disease, but as if he starved to death without anyone to take care of him. However, the bones of the animals that died near the tent were almost completely melted, so it can be seen that the disease was transmitted from livestock to humans, as Yunyang had speculated, and that the disease was much more harmful to livestock than to humans. ”

I checked several in a row, and the situation was similar, but I didn't find any trace of Yunyang's visit. This made all the hopes that Shengheng had just ignited been extinguished. He quickly left the village with a calm face, and as soon as the elite soldiers outside saw the expression of the Great Khan, they knew that he had found nothing in the village.

Everyone didn't dare to speak, for fear that one sentence would touch Shengheng's mold, and seeing Shengheng leave here without saying a word, the accompanying elite soldiers exchanged glances and followed silently.

Shengheng still hasn't found a place, so he walked along the river bank for a long time, and Shengheng was still empty-handed, a little soulless. He didn't know where to look for Yoon-yang again, but he had already found everything he could think of.

There was no way, so he had to order everyone to find an open place to rest. And he himself sat dumbfounded on a stone next to him, staring at the night sky.

"Yunyang, where are you?" Sheng Heng read it over and over again in his heart, but he couldn't hear any other sound except the whining sound of the wind.
