It wasn't okay just now, why is it suddenly like this again?

Xiao Jing leaned down and said gently: "Third Brother Peng, you and I finally came here, and things have taken a turn for the better, why do you suddenly retreat?" Seeing that everything is falling out, how can I just go back? ”

Peng San has always respected Xiao Jing since he recognized Engong, but this time he obviously didn't intend to give in: "No matter what you say, the villain can't let you put yourself in danger...... shouldn't have violated the will of the benevolent father, the villain is willing to apologize with death! ”

As soon as the words fell, he suddenly got up and rushed to the big tree not far away, but fortunately, the guards of the Xia family, who had been on guard, grabbed him.

Looking at the stubborn Peng San, Xiao Jing sighed and said, "Brother Peng, you are not a pampered and ignorant son of the world, you know this." I have experienced a lot of dangerous things, and there are a few that are life-and-death...... If you can trust Xiao, please speak up. If you really don't have it for you, then you can leave now, and I'll find my own way. ”

Peng San wanted to persuade again, but he couldn't raise his head because of Xiao Jing's scorching gaze.

Contemptive, playful, contemptuous, like looking at animals...... As a victim of the disaster who had been on the move, he had seen countless unbearable looks, but this was the first time he had seen something different from the eyes of a nobleman.

It is a kind of trust from the heart, and the determination and perseverance that will not give up even if thousands of people go to the past and do not find the truth!

The soldier dies for his confidant, fight!

Peng Sanyi gritted his teeth and said in his heart: "A noble person like Engong is still fearless, and the villain is cheap, so what is there to be afraid of?" In this case, tomorrow morning, the villain will take you down that path, and even if you die, you will be safely sent to the place! ”

There is no need to say anything more at this point. Xiao Jing smiled and patted him on the shoulder, turned around and returned to his tent.

Nothing was said all night.

Early in the morning, everyone embarked on an extremely remote path under the leadership of Peng San.

After walking for less than half an hour, Xiao Jing was deeply shocked by the scene in front of him.

It's not a good idea to simply call it the road, because the road could almost be called the "Road of Death"!

At short intervals, human corpses and even bones can be seen on the roadside. In addition to what you see, there are also things that you can smell with your nose: if you smell the disgusting stench of a corpse, then just walk up a short section of the dense forest around you and you will find a decomposing corpse.

Because of this, there are a lot of jackals waiting for an opportunity on the path. Probably because they have seen so many people die here, they are not very afraid of people at all, and all humans may be just walking food that can fall down at any time in their eyes.

What is even more difficult for Xiao Jing to accept is still to come.

After walking for a while, the smell of corpses was so strong that he almost fainted as he crawled out of the pile of dead people several times.

Following the taste to find the past, Xiao Jing almost couldn't believe his eyes:

There's a huge corpse pit here!

Judging by the depth and area of the pit, there were at least a hundred or more corpses in this pit. There is no doubt that such a state of affairs must be man-made.

After enduring the stench and turning it over, more details were revealed: most of the recognizable bodies had one or several fatal wounds, and a small part of them were so scrawny that they were starved to death.

After seeing this kind of tragic situation, Xiao Jing was already furious.

It's not that he hasn't seen the mountains of corpses and rivers of blood and the innocent people who died, but those are all the evil done by the Beihu people, and they are heavy casualties that can only be seen in war.

But now all this is happening in a seemingly quiet and tranquil hinterland of Da Rui, and the people who started it are all Da Rui people!

What madness this is!

Are the rumored Huangzhuang where the land is farmed and produced, or is it a human purgatory with the name of Huangzhuang?

At the same time, Xiao Jing also understood Peng San's hard work.

This extremely enclosed, hard-to-get and hard-to-get out place is tantamount to the Longtan Tiger's Den. No matter how much power you have behind you, it's of no use here; Not to mention the uncle of the Xia family, even if the emperor is here, it may not be easy to use.

What about the Xia family? Once your whereabouts are revealed, it's easier than killing a pig to get rid of you quietly!

Unless the emperor decides to mobilize troops and horses to besiege ...... Otherwise, it would be really difficult for Xiao Jing to do anything with just a few people.

However, the hesitant thought only stayed in his mind for a few breaths.

Now that they're all here, there's no reason to turn around and go back!

Xia Hu stepped forward and said, "Uncle, the villain has checked before, and most of the people who died on the side of the road were not injured...... In other words, those people are likely to be trapped and died in the forest after successfully escaping because there is no way to go to heaven and no way to enter the ground. ”

Xiao Jing was silent.

After experiencing it first-hand, he gained a deeper understanding of the terrain in the area.

Not only did the mountains and lakes greatly restrict the movement of people, but the soldiers stationed on the various paths even hung a large lock on the already sturdy iron gate!

All the images gradually became concrete in his mind: yes, this is a cage!

"Let's go, let's move on." Xiao Jing turned his back and sighed lightly: "The further you go, the more dangerous it becomes, there may be their sentry on the road, you must be careful...... Hey, this is just the first Imperial Village. ”

Although everyone wants to see the true face of Huangzhuang earlier, this road is indeed not short.

As an excellent scout, Xia Hu helps the team avoid all the eyes and ears along the way. When it was dark, the group finally lurked in the forest a mile away from Huangzhuang.

Xiao Jing hadn't seen a large area of farmland, but this was the first time he had seen such a huge group of cultivated land as far as the eye could see.

Because the area of Zhuangzi is so large, only the residential area has a wall; Xiao Jing looked intently at the place where he could see, as if he was counting something while watching.

Every meal or so, a small group of people patrolling with torches passed by; Although there are several such teams, this density is obviously not enough to control such a large area.

There are also very few people who can keep watch on the heights, and there is only one watchtower.

After a long time, he came up with a rough estimate.

Judging from both the cost considerations and the current situation, it is unlikely that there will be many soldiers and thugs stationed here, at best, only three or five hundred.

And to cultivate such a large field, it would take more than a thousand young people to cultivate it, right?

No wonder someone was able to get out. The guards here are so lax that the people inside can always find a way to escape if they are trying to escape.

However, in this place that is guarded loosely inside and tight outside, running out of Huangzhuang may be entering the ghost gate!
