Chapter 5 Eight Thousand Households
I saw that it was located in the deepest part of the Xiama River, which was originally a pond, the most important place for caravans to rest, but the pool was buried by wind and sand after it dried up.
Later, the princess was ambushed when she got married, and the corpses of the eight thousand households were buried in this pool of water.
As the people of the dark yamen, it is naturally impossible for the eight thousand households to be sent back for a grand burial, because the number of people who want them to die is countless, and who will be sad for them.
Therefore, in the end, it was decided to bury them here, which can be regarded as guarding the border pass, and the eight people built a total of eight graves.
It's just that at this time, two of the eight graves have been destroyed, revealing the corpses inside, but I didn't expect them to be digging graves.
Although he knew in his heart that they must have come here to check the corpses of the Eight Thousand Households, but he really saw it with his own eyes, Chu Tian was still very angry in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face.
"Why are you digging the graves of the Eight Thousand Households of the Dragon Guard, what do you want to do?" Turning his head to look at the leader who was honestly following behind him, Chu Tian said coldly.
The long stick in his hand was raised slightly, and if the man did not answer correctly, he would be killed.
The man looked at the murderous Chu Tian, and naturally knew the murderous intent in Chu Tian's heart, and finally sighed after struggling in his heart for a while.
looked at Chu Tian's eyes and said, "I can tell you, but you have to promise me that after I say it, you will let me go, and you must not kill me." ”
Glancing at the eight tombs, Chu Tian nodded and agreed, "I promise you, as long as you tell the truth, I can let you go."
"Okay, I believe you, we were sent to investigate the truth about the massacre of the Heqin team back then." The man saw that Chu Tian agreed and spoke, and he didn't ask Chu Tian to swear anything, because they never believed in this kind of thing.
"The truth? The affinity team was killed by your Wei State, which is known to the whole world, and it also found the token of your Shadow Hall, the evidence is conclusive, what else are you here to investigate? I really don't know whether I live or die, and I dare to deceive me. Hearing this, Chu Tian asked sharply with wide eyes, looking at the man with burning eyes.
Seeing that Chu Tian's murderous aura was getting heavier and heavier, he was helpless, so he could only say hard.
"This is impossible, at that time, our Great Wei was in the midst of a struggle for imperial power, and there was no time to interfere in the marriage between your Qin State and Chu State, and besides, our Shadow Hall did not make a move at all, this could never be our doing, it must have been done by others, and then blame us for this matter."
Looking at that person, Chu Tian guessed in his heart that this person should not have deceived himself, otherwise what else would they have done here?
Is it because of the hatred of the dragon guards that they steal the bones and then scatter the bones and ashes?
How is this possible?
Turning his head to look at the eight tombs, Chu Tian was contemplative, now his heart was a little chaotic, and his heart, which had only calmed down for many years, was also a little chaotic at this time.
All along, Chu Tian told himself that things were over, and he had to look forward and live his life.
But only now did I know that it was just self-deception, that I didn't let go of this matter at all, and that unless I figured it out, I wouldn't be able to be at peace in my life.
And that person didn't know what Chu Tian was thinking in his heart, and now that his life was in Chu Tian's hands, he didn't dare to say anything.
The two of them stood like this, only the sound of the wind blowing back and forth, like a ghost crying.
"And what can you find?"
"I didn't find anything, so I wanted to come here to see if there were any clues about the corpse, but..."
"But what? Say. ”
Seeing that this person was spitting, Chu Tian raised his stick to the man, and now he didn't want to miss any information.
"This is just my guess, ten days after the death of the Eight Thousand Households, the Dragon Guard has re-sealed the four major commanders, and everything else is the same as before, this recovery is inevitably too fast, as if it was in advance...
Swallowing his saliva, the man also said his thoughts, this is also his only clue, if there is no progress on the corpse here, then he can only sneak into the capital to investigate.
"General, why did you let me come here? Do you know why? But why didn't you tell me? Recalling the general's words and expression when he gave the order, Chu Tian guessed in his heart that the general should know something about this matter.
But since he didn't say it, then even if he asked himself, he probably wouldn't be able to ask anything, and it would be a great favor for him to let himself come here.
"My lord, I've finished saying what I'm talking about, so I'll leave first." The words were almost finished, and the man was also planning to leave, but a pair of eyes were staring at Chu Tian, always vigilant against Chu Tian who would regret it at any time.
"Well, let's go, you're not allowed to talk about today's events, do you know?" Waving his hand, Chu Tian said softly, and after speaking, he turned his head to look at those graves.
"I know that I will not leak half a sentence and say goodbye."
The man breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and arched his hand towards Chu Tian, turning around and planning to leave.
It's just that as soon as I turned around, I heard a rapid whistling sound in my ears, low and sharp.
"Oh no, you dare...
I secretly screamed in my heart that it was not good, knowing that Chu Tian had repented, he hurriedly turned his head away.
It's just that before he turned around, he was hit on the head by Chu Tian with a stick, only to hear a dull sound, the man collapsed directly to the ground, and Chu Tian actually shot directly to kill the man.
"Since you are a person from the Shadow Hall, you should naturally know that I will not let you live, and those who betray will die, and you shouldn't do this kind of thing, you shouldn't come to disturb them." Glancing at the corpse in disgust, Chu Tian said coldly.
After finishing speaking, Chu Tian checked all the corpses, none of them were alive, and finally Chu Tian came straight to Wang Hu's side, took out a piece of jade from his arms, and said.
"Actually, if you don't block it just now, I'll be fine, you are my first brother in the escort camp, and I will visit your sister, rest in peace."
。。。。。。
Two hours later, the sun set in the west, and a team of people and horses came here, making the Xiama River, which had been silent, lively again.
At this time, Chu Tian was already gone, leaving only corpses all over the ground.
There were about fifty or sixty people who came, all of them wearing the same armor as Wang Hu and the others, and they all seemed to be members of the guard camp.
The leader was a veteran in his forties and fifties, wearing a set of dark brown tiger helmet armor, a red robe behind him, and a golden long sword at his waist.
"Go and see if anyone is still alive."
Looking around at the corpses, the veteran spoke without sorrow or joy, as if he was looking at stones instead of corpses.
The soldiers immediately divided ten people to check on the dead, and the other two went to see the graves of the eight thousand households.
"General, whether it is our army or those men in black, all of them are dead, and none of them are alive, but no Commander Chu was found in the corpse."
"General, two of the eight thousand graves have been destroyed, but the two bones are still there."
Soon the two waves of people came back to report, but the veteran did not have the slightest expression after hearing it.
"Take all the bodies back and bury them, and the spies will do the same... buried, and all the bones of the eight thousand households were dug up and buried at the foot of Qingyun Mountain, remember not to damage the bones. ”
"In addition, from today onwards, the commander of Chutian is dead, do you hear it, no matter who asks, they say that he is dead, do you hear it?"
"Obedience"
After several orders, the veteran was speechless, and the soldiers immediately went to carry out the order.
After about a stick of incense, it was cleaned as if nothing had happened, leaving only eight deep pits.
The veteran looked at the slowly approaching night, took a deep look in the southwest direction, and then went back with the soldiers.
Gorgema River has once again regained its tranquility.
