Subsequently, Shi Ji called Hong Xin and Dou Wan to announce her decision.

I noticed that Shi Ji was fiddling with a few portraits of girls in his hand, and I couldn't help but peek around.

"Teacher," I asked, "is that the new student you're hiring?" ”

Shi Ji smiled, "These people were originally the princesses of the Dongyi vassal states. The current students who were originally recommended for the women's branch should study with you. But as a result of the war, most of them have become enemies of the Great Shang. I don't know if I live or die now. With that, she handed us the portrait.

I was immediately captivated by one of the portraits. The brushwork of the portrait is light and elegant, and the girl's face becomes more and more pure. Underneath is a line of words: "Princess Fangyi Yuluo".

"This is Princess Yuluo?"

"You know?" Shi Ji looked at me suspiciously.

"Ah, I don't know." I said, "I just heard my slave girl say that she is a famous beauty." ”

Shi Ji sighed softly, "It's a pity! Fang Yi saw that he was going to destroy the country, and if Princess Yuluo lived, she would inevitably become a slave. ”

"Teacher," I asked, "what would you do to Princess Yuluo if she became your slave?" ”

Shi Ji smiled, "Even if she is a slave, I will still accept her as a student." If she does well, I will hire her as a teacher. ”

She then said, "Okay, let's not talk about that. General Evil will set off tomorrow with his troops. First participate in the Dongli military exercise, and then go to the Wandering Soul Pass via Onozawa. On the way, you will pass through Fangyi and other places where the battle is fought. Battles can occur at any time. Try to keep up with the evil generals and watch out for your own safety. ”

Leaving Shi Ji's room, Hong Xin suggested going to visit Mei Lin. The three of us got into a carriage. On the way, I asked Hong Xin, "Sister Xin, how is Sister Long now?" ”

"It's alright!" She said, "The bones have been grafted together and are being raised." Now the war in the south is tense. After she recovers from her injuries, she will immediately return to Sanshan Pass to help my brother fight the enemy. Nezha, what you said that day, I didn't have a chance to tell her. ”

I smiled, "I'm afraid Sister Long won't forgive me." ”

Mabel's mansion was near the south gate of the city. The lintel is tall and wide, but it is rather deserted inside. There is no sense of luxury at all that matches it.

Merlin lay in the back hall with her legs wrapped in gauze, and two slave girls served by her. The treatment is much better than that of poor Luo Yan.

She seemed to look good, and said that she could barely walk with a cane. Listening to us talk about the trip to Biyou, I was very yearning.

"Don't worry, Sister Mei." Dou Wan said, "The dean said that your leg injury is healed, and he will send you to Biyou Palace." ”

Back to the Academy. That night, I left my room and ran to Xiaoqian. She had been crying silently until she fell asleep. I didn't cry, and although it wasn't up to me, I still felt infinitely sorry inside.

Early the next morning, General Evil, who was as tall as a hill, appeared at the gate of the academy with a convoy. Lady Jade Chi also came with her to see off Queen Daji on behalf of Queen Daji.

For a while, the front of the academy, which was usually deserted, became very lively. Dean Shi Ji, all the teachers, and all the students of the two phases gathered at the door. Xiao Qian and I said goodbye, and then boarded the chariot specially prepared for us with Hong Xin and Dou Wan.

The convoy crossed Qishui and passed through Chaoge City. Came to the barracks stationed in the east of the city. We didn't get out of the car, but waited outside the camp gate.

After a while, I saw the camp gate wide open. Evil came out with 300 chariots and 5,000 infantry. For a while, the smoke and dust were billowing and people were shouting and neighing. We followed closely behind the evil chariot, for fear of being lost in the chaos of the army.

Seeing Chao Ge getting farther and farther behind him. My heart began to feel a little sad. I don't know when I'll be back in the heart of the world.

For hours on end, we were on the march. For me, who had never participated in a long march, I was really tired and drowsy in the chariot.

Hong Xin and Dou Wan beside them have obviously experienced this kind of training, and they are always in good spirits on the side. Not to mention the fact that there were thousands of infantry behind him. You can't let them see my jokes. So he fought for mental support.

It is a very wide road from Chaoge to the east. It is said that this avenue was specially built for the conquest of Dongyi. On the road, we occasionally encountered pedestrians, merchants, and troops coming from the opposite side, and they naturally flashed to the side of the road, allowing us to pass first. It did not affect the speed of our march in the slightest.

But after noon, our march had to slow down as the troops escorting a large number of prisoners appeared.

When the commanders of the opposing detachment saw us from afar, they all shouted to their men to drive the group of prisoners to the side of the road, and if they were slow to move, they would be whipped or punched or kicked.

Evil came and waved his hand to shrink the formation and continue to move forward. The commanders on the opposite side saluted the evil one after another. Evil came to return the salute in the car, and did not talk. Flashed in front of them.

Most of these captives were ragged, dish-faced, and staggered. Their hands were tied together by a long rope and joined in a string. The bare skin of the body was covered with whip marks.

At first, they didn't cause much of a mental turmoil in me. Although it is the first time I have seen this kind of scene in the world of gods or in the memories of my previous life. But after all, I've seen a lot of movies and pictures. Thousands of years from now, wars may not necessarily be more civilized than they are now.

But as I saw more and more captives, and the situation became more and more miserable, I could no longer calm my mind. When a group of female captives finally appeared, my psychological defenses collapsed.

When I first appeared in the distance, I saw a strange flesh color behind a group of soldiers in armor. As I got closer, I noticed that at most they were half-skirts that covered their lower bodies. Some are just fig leafs. Many more are simply naked.

These female captives, young and old. They were all tied with their hands tied and tied with a long rope like the male captives. On the bare skin, the bright red whip marks are even more obvious.

I saw a girl under the age of ten tied up with a woman about thirty years old, apparently a mother and daughter. Both of them were naked, shivering in the cold wind. The little girl's delicate wrist had been ground up with blood by the rope.

I can't help but think of Li'er, as well as Ping'er and Cui'er. Many years ago, they also walked this path.

But at this moment, I can't do anything for them. Thousands of horses were marching, and I couldn't even stop to give them a piece of clothing.

I heard the evil in front of me and let out a low sigh. Hong Xin, who was beside him, bit his lip, turned to the other side, and stopped watching. Dou Wan simply closed her eyes.

The sun had set to the west, and the escort of the captives had not appeared for a long time. The pace of our march is also gradually returning to normal. But my heart could not be at peace for a long time.

After walking for another while, a group of soldiers appeared in front of him again. But they are clearly in trouble. Because their captives did not stand, but lay on the road.

Seeing us coming, they hurriedly carried the captives lying on the road to the side of the road one by one.

The captives were not bound, but most were dying. Among them, the elderly and weak women and children are the majority. Some are probably dead.

Evil did not respond to them, and commanded the team to pass silently.

He continued to walk for a while, and the evil man who was walking in front waved his hand violently. The whole team came to an abrupt halt in the midst of the hustle and bustle.

This time there were no soldiers escorting the captives, only corpses lying in the middle of the road.
