Peach Blossom Town is the northernmost town in the Northern Jin Dynasty, although it is called Peach Blossom Town, but there is not even a single peach tree in the town...... It's not that the name of this place is wrong, but because of the perennial war, the ten-mile peach blossoms of that year have long been wiped out in the war.

Su Ji and her party traveled lightly, each riding a fast horse, and rushed to Peach Blossom Town that afternoon. Fortunately, Yuan Muye had learned to ride horses in a friend's horse farm before, so he didn't embarrass Su Ji in front of him, otherwise he would have been put into the same group as the literati in Jingyang Palace......

But having said that, it was really the first time that Yuan Muye had ridden a horse for such a long time, and they also changed horses in the post station, and the horses stopped along the way...... Yuan Muye wanted to stop and take a rest, but seeing that Su Ji didn't speak, he was naturally embarrassed to open this mouth.

Finally arrived in Peach Blossom Town, and the sky was already about to get dark, although Su Ji was traveling in micro clothes this time, but it was also under the banner of Purple Cloud Palace, so after they arrived in Peach Blossom Town, there were two people from Purple Cloud Palace waiting there early.

As soon as they arrived in Peach Blossom Town, they received a secret report that a village five miles away from Peach Blossom Town had just been sacked by the Tamarin...... Su Ji didn't say a word after hearing this, and immediately took Yuan Muye and rushed to the small village.

Regarding the concept of war, Yuan Muye only stayed in books and film and television dramas, and did not have any real experience, but when he followed Su Ji to the small village that was ransacked by the marmosets, he was immediately shocked by the scene in front of him.

I saw clouds of black smoke coming out of an adobe house, showing Yuan Muye, who had just arrived, the disasters that had happened here...... The most chilling thing is the headless corpse hanging on a wooden pole, which is unforgettable for those who have seen it.

Yuan Muye's big men were shocked by the scene in front of them, but Su Ji said to his entourage expressionlessly, "Let's put people down first!" When will the county lieutenant arrive? ”

After hearing this, the entourage whispered, "He went to the nearby barracks to transfer troops, and he should be coming soon." ”

Su Ji snorted coldly after hearing this, "Waste...... The marmosets have already left, and they don't dare to come. ”

Yuan Muye could see that it should not be the first time that Su Ji had seen this kind of scene, and it seemed that the harm of the marmosets to the Northern Jin Dynasty was indeed as serious as Su Ji had heard before, so the king of Jin Ling would let Su Ji, who was a national teacher, publicly execute the marmosets captives at the ceremony of worshipping the sky, so as to strengthen the army.

After that, Yuan Muye and several of Su Ji's entourage put down all the corpses hanging on wooden poles, judging from their clothes, they should all be strong men in the village, and the front placket of each corpse was also stuck with a bald eagle feather as Su Ji said.

"Why do you want to cut off the heads of the villagers?" Yuan Muye asked puzzled.

When Su Ji heard this, she said with a gloomy face, "That's because the marmosets believe that those who have their heads cut off will have their souls ruined, so they can't tell the gods about their grievances." ”

Yuan Muye laughed angrily when he heard this, "It's ridiculous, could it be that if you cut off your head, they didn't kill it!?" But why are there only men here? Where are the women and children in the village? ”

This time, it was one of Su Ji's attendants who answered Yuan Muye, and he pointed to the burning adobe house not far away, "The marmosets will kill the old man, the woman, and the child and throw them into the house, and then burn the house with a fire. ”

Yuan Muye was silent after hearing this, it seems that the Tamarin people are indeed too ferocious, their behavior is like uncivilized beasts, and they have no mercy for their fellow people of different races.

Su Ji saw that Yuan Muye's face was not good, so she said in a deep voice, "How is it?" Do you still think that the Tamarins should not be killed? ”

Yuan Muye sighed when he heard this, "Of course the murderer should be killed, but did that captive really kill so many people?" Shouldn't you interrogate before you draw conclusions? ”

When Su Ji heard this, she asked, "Does it make a difference?" There is no difference between him killing one Northern Jin Dynasty and killing a hundred Northern Jin Dynasty people...... If I had a choice, of course I would like not to continue killing, but do I really have a choice? ”

At this moment, the local county lieutenant with five hundred soldiers arrived late, and when the other party saw that the people from Ziyun Palace had arrived one step earlier, he immediately stepped forward with some trepidation and asked for An Dao, "Qingshui County Lieutenant Min Huairen has come to see the envoys of Ziyun Palace. ”

Since Su Ji was wearing the standard palace clothes of the Purple Cloud Palace, this Min Huairen didn't know that the person standing in front of him was the national teacher of the Northern Jin Kingdom, and Su Ji naturally wouldn't take the initiative to reveal her identity, after all, they came out this time just to let Yuan Muye see what a real tamarin person was.

Since the local county lieutenant had taken over the scene, it was naturally inconvenient for them to stay here for longer, and Su Ji had already achieved the purpose of today's trip, so the group immediately rode back to Peach Blossom Town for the night.

There are palaces of Ziyun Palace in all parts of the Northern Jin Dynasty, and Peach Blossom Town is no exception. But think about it, this Purple Cloud Palace was originally a symbol of the power of the Northern Jin Dynasty, if even this place looks extremely shabby, then wouldn't the people of the Northern Jin Dynasty have even less confidence in their own country?

After returning to the palace, Yuan Muye's mind was still flashing back to the people who died tragically just now, and Su Ji saw it and asked in a low voice, "How did you think about it?" You're the only one who can help me now, or I'll be in a bad position during the ritual. ”

After hearing this, Yuan Muye looked at Su Ji Zhengse and said, "Since you hate the marmosets so much, why don't you do it yourself?" ”

Su Ji sighed when she heard this, "It's one thing to hate, it's another thing to kill them yourself, I know my own nature, unless it's a matter of life and death, it's really hard for me to kill anyone......"

Yuan Muye felt that Su Ji seemed to be a very contradictory woman when she heard this, she hated the marmosets on the one hand, and on the other hand, she couldn't bear to kill them, maybe this was why the King of Jinling had to kill the marmosets himself!

In fact, this is not too difficult for Yuan Muye, because he worked as a bailiff for a period of time when he just graduated from the police academy, and he once carried out two shooting missions...... The first time someone shoots and kills someone, they have to do psychological counseling afterwards, but Yuan Muye feels that he has no need for this at all.

And this time he killed the marmoset captives for Su Ji, he could have regarded it as a shooting mission, but in his heart he always felt that there was still a big difference between "executing the death penalty" and "killing the prisoners".
