There was another group of troops on the streets of Lan City, about forty people, and hundreds of worker slaves, the small ones were twelve or thirteen years old, and the oldest ones were old men in their eighties. They carried the earth and sand and gravel from afar to the fortifications to be repaired with heavy burdens, and they had to carry all the wood and stone there.

The sun was burning on their bodies, scorching the walls made of sand and gravel, and the slaves stepped up their work, and there were many urging soldiers around them to beat them and let them slow down as soon as possible.

All the gates and exits in the city were blocked, and Xuenuo, Yanjier, and Chu Ge disguised themselves as a group of newly captured slaves, and about sixty people entered the besieged city together. They were shouted at by the soldiers to slow down, whipped in pain, and even punched and kicked, and they could only endure it.

There was a strong smell of burnt burning in the streets, and a terrible smell of vomiting human corpses. They landed where a main street had been burned, and the soldiers shouted and whipped again, some with long, pointed spears in their hands.

"I'll give you half a month to build this place. An officer who seemed to have some status stepped forward and shouted, "You will all die if you violate it." ”

All the men began to move, pulling wood, pulling sand, transporting stones, and cutting off the burned planks with saws.

Snow looked around as the soldiers were not looking, carrying sand and gravel, hoping to see Andy's voice in the hundreds of slaves. Not far from Snow's passing, the charred railing around him suddenly fell to the ground, and a young boy fell to the ground in a terrifying state.

"Grandson...... , my grandson. The man in his fifties came running from a distance and fell to the ground, holding up the child with both hands who was still bleeding from his mouth. The sand and gravel in the load were scattered all over the ground, and several soldiers surrounded them and punched and kicked them, one of whom scolded, "The old thing of the dog day, if you don't work well, you will dirty the streets." ”

The old man got up and knelt on the ground and kept begging for mercy, "Save my grandson...... Please, don't...... , don't fight...... , save my grandson ....... "But there was still an endless stream of punches and kicks. Snow tried to rescue him several times, but was stopped by Yangil behind him, and the officer with identity saw him coming, pulled out the sword at his waist, and slashed the old man's throat with a swing of the sword. The old man's head fell heavily into the gravel and fell to the ground, and red blood spat out of his mouth, and the gravel was bright red.

"What do you want you to do with the old useless things?" the officer wiped the blood from the sword with a handkerchief, inserted the sword into the sword, threw the handkerchief on the ground, looked down on the slaves in front of him, and turned away.

"Hurry up and get to work, the offender pulls it out and cuts it. The soldier who scolded the old man shouted, carried the body away with the others, cleaned up the scene, and turned to leave.

No one dared to make a sound, and continued to mend the fortifications under the scorching sun with heavy footsteps, until sunset, when the soldiers brought two large jars of food, spoonful by spoon, into the bowl, only to find a clear soup made of only batter, in which some dried vegetable leaves were placed, and not even steamed buns.

They were not allowed to go out of the city at night, and they could only sleep there against the corner, some back to back, some whispering. Snow and Yan Jier, Xiao Chi, Su Qi and Chu Ge sat in the crowd, their whole bodies dirty. He couldn't bear to look at the children who were only twelve or thirteen years old and the old people in their eighties, they were motionless and snuggling up to each other, lifeless, and their eyes were full of despair for life.

In the dark, avoiding the patrolling soldiers, a group of them scattered to find Andy, but there was no news. Every once in a while the next day, new slaves would join the ranks, beating and scolding like animals in a drive, without any human touch. Many slave laborers have died from the fatigue of several days in a row, and those who have fallen from overwork have also been pulled out of the construction site, and no one knows whether they are dead or alive.

Each of their clothes smelled of sweat, and buzzing flies flew on everyone's body, and they hadn't been cleaned for half a month, especially Yinuo, who couldn't breathe when she smelled her body, but she had no complaints, she would rather follow Snow like this, and every smile was sweet.

In a few days, the charred wooden stakes on the street were replaced with new ones, everything seemed to come to life, a brand new street was repaired, and that night was considered the best reward for the meal, and each person was given a steamed bun.

After eating, they were transferred to the next field for repairs, and Snow and Yangil had already discussed escaping on the way to the transfer. Walking to a place with low walls, Yangil deliberately pushed several people halfway to cause chaos. The people who fell to the ground got up and began to fight, and then many people poured into a group, and the moment the soldiers rushed to maintain order, Xuenuo, Yanjir and Chu Ge quickly climbed the city wall and jumped to the other end, only to hear the sound of leather whipping at the other end of the city wall and constantly entering the eardrums.

"Prince, it seems that there is no Andy in the city. "What are we going to do next?"

"If she's still alive, she's probably out of town. Snow said, "Let's get out of here first and see if there's any news from the other people who sent out." ”

They ran out of the woods of the mountains within a radius of ten miles, and when they discussed the place to meet Xiao Chi and Cheng Yu, it was already almost dark. The snow wolf came out of the forest in the distance, first looking up to experience the air in the night sky, and then in the blink of an eye, it crossed several stone slabs and came to Snow, and threw itself into Snow's arms, rubbing his forehead against his face.

"You can find me wherever I go. Snow touched the snow wolf's forehead and comforted, "It's easy to expose my identity with you, you are really obedient this time, and you have been here for half a month, right?"

"Prince. Xiao Chi walked towards them. "We've been waiting for you for more than ten days. ”

"Is there any news for Andy?" Snow asked as he let the snow wolf get off his body and get up.

"I found someone to buy off the guards on duty in the city, and he said that Andy had returned to the castle and now lived with the king and Lord An Murong. Xiao Chi said.

"Living together?" Snow asked, confused.

"The guards on duty said that the Alpha had released the king from his cell, and had prepared a house for them, and that all those who had been taken were there, and that they had not been tortured or punished. Xiao Chi explained, "It's just that nearly 2,000 troops have been sent to guard there, and no one can get close." ”

"Why did you go back when you escaped?" Snow muttered to himself.

"I guess I heard that the king was arrested, so I ...... it. Yangil was suspicious.

"At least Andy is alive and the news isn't bad. Snow said, "Let's take a night off here, and we'll go back to Batu Caves tomorrow." ”

After being tired for more than half a month, Snow lay on the stone slab and fell asleep, before falling asleep, he looked up at the stars in the night sky and thought, "Tranquility my fiancée, you must not blame me, I can't do anything about what is happening in front of me, but as long as I don't die, I must think of a way to save them." ”

All the people slept, except for the chirping insects not far away, and they slept until dawn. When he returned to the Batu Cave, it was already the third night, the stone door of the Batu Cave was open, Chu Ge felt that something was wrong, and Xue Nuo also felt very strange, "Why is the stone door open?" He had just finished muttering to himself, and facing the moonlight, Chu Ge entered from the stone gate. Snow and the others followed in, and it was pitch black, and a foul smell wafted in, like a thick fishy smell blowing from the swamp of death. Snow hurriedly covered his mouth, and everyone behind him also covered his mouth. Yan Jier hurriedly lit a torch, countless horizontal and vertical corpses were everywhere in front of him, Xiao Chi hurriedly followed Yan Jier's torch and lit several torches, and his eyes were bright.

Chu Ge took a deep breath, all his words and expressions were stuck at that moment, unable to adapt. She strode into the pile of corpses, and looked at the corpses one by one, those were the faces she was most familiar with, and she watched the children grow up with her own eyes, and played with her uncles, aunts, and grandmothers.

Snow saw Lao Tie's corpse standing upright and sticking his sword into the wall, and he was extremely frightened, "What happened?" he asked himself. He saw a little girl lying strangely on a pile of corpses, her face pale, and her eyes revealed a deep blue. The girl was the daughter who passed the needlework to the old grandmother, and he recalled the moment, remembering the girl's sweet smile. Then he saw the disabled man drinking at the wine table, and countless people with broken limbs and arms, and he could barely breathe.
