Volume 1 Entanglement Chapter 14 The Ruins of the Dead City

After that, a fire ignited in Xiazhou City, the fire was shining in the sky, such as the sun did not set to brighten the whole city, the flames rushed to devour every inch of Xiazhou's land, enjoy the endless monstrous feast, the city could not hear half a shout, but in the flames that jumped away, you can always faintly see countless inexplicable souls who died in vain in the heart-rending struggle, all the people lying in Xiazhou were burned into ashes in this fire, the billowing smoke mixed with the smell of flesh and blood, scattered all over the sky, floating for a few miles away can make the smelling people nauseated.

The fire burned all night, and finally turned the last pure land of Yue Jin into an epic and took it away, leaving behind the ruins of the huge dead city to mourn in the north wind.

Guo Tianqiong and Wei Zhenting were terrified when they returned to the city, the city turned into scorched earth, and the corpses were hung in the wind and snow fluttering under the city gate, and everyone took the deceased down, Wei Zhenting found Wei Zhenting inside, she seemed to have soaked in the blood pool once, her body was blackened marks, her body was as cold as snow, and her skin was cracked in many places after hanging for two days.

Suddenly there was a mourning under the city gate, all the relatives of the escort team died in this fire, the prosperous Xiazhou City, there were only a few hundred people left in one night, everyone planned to bury all the corpses alive, but Wei Zhenting was unwilling to let go of Wei Zhenting, and the people around him came one after another to persuade Wei Zhenting to mourn and change.

At this time, the person in Wei Zhenting's arms suddenly opened her eyes, her face was expressionless, her eyes were empty and unfocused, like a resentful ghost who borrowed a corpse to return to the soul, and the surrounding people were so frightened that the three souls were not able to lose their spirits, and they all retreated, and only after half a ring did someone ask with courage and trembling, "You... Are you a human or a ghost..."

The dark eyes swept over everyone, and finally stopped on Wei Zhenting, her purple lips opened slightly, "Dad..."

When Guo Mushen woke up again, he was already with him, and the guards built a temporary straw hut to gather, Xiazhou City was destroyed, and they had no home and nowhere to go.

Everyone is speculating about the culprit of the massacre, and nine times out of ten it is the mountain bandits they want to suppress, robbing, slaughtering the city, hanging corpses... These are the style of mountain bandits, so when Guo Tianqiong supported Yang Pingcheng to go to the bandits' den, he pounced, because they all came to Xiazhou to commit crimes.

"It's officers and soldiers." Wei Ming, who sat up, spoke at the back of the crowd.

Everyone's eyes gathered, some people wanted to ask, and finally they were afraid to stick the words in their throats, although everyone had confirmed countless times that Wei Rongyan was really alive, had a heartbeat, could breathe, and his body slowly returned to temperature, but under the slaughter of the city with swords flying and hanging the city gate in the cold and frozen ground for two days, those who could still survive were either gods or ghosts.

"Why did Yan'er say that?" Guo Mushen held Wei Ming's hand, her expression was not panicked, not afraid, just a single numbness, which made Guo Mushen's heart very uneasy.

Wei Rongyan took out the token from her arms, which was the only evidence, it was stained with the blood of everyone in Xiazhou, and she replied, "The first batch of bandits disguised as bandits, and the second batch, without even pretending, went directly into the city in official uniforms." ”

She handed out the token, but the nearest person didn't dare to reach out to take it, as if as long as she touched it, she would be haunted by evil spirits, Wei Junche couldn't stand it, got up and handed it to Guo Tianqiong, and scolded on her lips, "My sister is a living person, you seven-foot man are afraid of what she does!" ”

Looking at the token, Guo Tianqiong's expression was a little incredible, "Yang Ping..."

Everyone was shocked, it was the officers and soldiers of Yang Pingcheng! They transferred the guards of Xiazhou away from the mountain, took the opportunity to enter the city to rob, and directly slaughtered the city after the defeat, blaming the bandits...

Wei Rongyan didn't listen again, got up and went outside, and sat alone on the charred stone steps.

"Are you alright?" Guo Mushen followed, putting on a thick fur on Wei Yuan's body, and the warm fluff of the big fur rubbed her cheeks softly to soothe the survivors.

"Aunt Lin saved me." Wei Rongyan said quietly.

"Aunt Lin who exchanged the ransom?"

Wei Rongyan nodded, "She told me that she must live..."

After Aunt Lin died, the officers and soldiers removed her body, and found that Aunt Lin's hand was clasped around Wei Rong's mouth, and they took a lot of effort to break it, and after breaking it, Wei Rong's cheeks were obviously bruised, and the officers and soldiers ridiculed, Aunt Lin and this girl have a lot of hatred, and they have to be ghosts and catch them.

The consciousness of Wei Yuan, who couldn't move her body, did not dissipate, she could clearly feel that the fire was devouring her home, her nasal cavity was filled with the strong smell of physical fire, the scorching heat almost melted her, and when the fire was silent, the cold north wind slapped her body, and the corpses hanging around her began to slowly decay, she kept herself awake, even if her eyelids were so heavy that she couldn't open them, she had to clearly imprint every minute of hell in her bones.

Looking up at the sky, the night sky is as clear as the old days, even after the bloody wind and rain, the fire shines in Xiazhou, when all the ups and downs are over, the sky is still its original state.

"Will they find their way to the other side?" Wei Qian muttered.

"Yes, they are all kind people, they will definitely be found."

The deep blue sky is adorned with sparkling gems, and there is a shallow galaxy that winds across like a gauze ribbon.

"Tonight's stars." Wei Rongyan said lightly, "There are a lot more..."

After discussing with everyone, Guo Tianqiong and Wei Zhenting decided to bring the truth to the court and seek justice for the wronged souls of Xiazhou.

However, on the second day after they arrived in Yuedu, the imperial court issued an official document, saying that Guo Tianqiong was not careful in protecting the city, and also put the blame on Yang Pingchengshou, who should be punished for his crimes, and immediately detained him and Wei Zhenting, and beheaded them in a few days.

On the night the official document was issued, a large number of killers infiltrated the ruins of Xiazhou City, wanting to repeat the bloody case, and were all killed by Wei Junche and Guo Mushen.

Guo Muyu did not accept this verdict, and wanted to go to Yue to overturn the case for them, but was stopped by Guo Mushen, the king of Yue was violent, and countless unjust souls died in his hands, since the case was decided, he would not care what the truth was, Wei Junche agreed, he and Guo Mushen glanced at each other, and they came up with the same thoughts.

Wei Junche summoned all the guards and told them that Xiazhou was gone, Guo Tianqiong and Wei Zhenting were also sentenced, and it was impossible to come back, and there were still many people outside who wanted to kill them, so that the guards left to find a life elsewhere.

Guards, look at me, I'll look at you, Xiazhou is their home, where else can they go.

"How many sons have a plan?" Someone asked, he didn't think the Guo brothers and Wei Junche wanted to give up, they should have a plan.

"Yes." Wei Junche replied truthfully, "This matter is widely implicated, or the nine clans are punished, and we don't want to affect anyone." ”

Someone stood up and said indifferently, "The nine clans are all burned to death, it's nothing more than taking this life to accompany them." ”

The guards have no bloodline relatives in the world, and these brothers in front of them are the closest relatives in this life.

Someone took the lead in kneeling, "I am willing to be a dead soldier, please ask a few sons to give us a chance to repay the two adults for their years of teaching and care." ”

The other guards also knelt down together and pleaded in unison, Wei Junche didn't refuse again, now, who doesn't want to have more to rely on in the world.

Wei Rongrou also wanted to go with him, Wei Junche did not allow it, this trip was dangerous, and he would lose his life if he was not careful.

"Brother..."Wei Rongyan asked, "Is there any other place in this world that is safe?" ”

Wei Junche was silent, and Guo Mushen, who was beside him, took Wei Yan's hand and said, "Brother Wei, let Yan'er come along." ”

He is indeed no longer at ease, in the future, as long as Wei Rongyan is within his sight, he will protect her.
