Zhaoju came to Fenzhou on the first day of August.

He remembered that he had been here that day, but now he was unrecognizable, and he couldn't help but feel a little sad.

General Xin once told Zhaoju that Xianyu Zhenren was injured and recuperated in Fenzhou, and now that Fenzhou has been flattened by the Dajing Army, Xianyu Zhenren is only afraid that it will be more auspicious.

Fenzhou was silent, like a dead city.

"Your Highness, shall we go in and have a look, or shall we go around the city?"

Qin Bumei opened his mouth to ask, he remembered the tragic scene of entering Bingzhou City in the morning, and that scene really made people feel palpitations.

Zhaoju looked at Naoguru.

Naoguru snorted.

"Let's stay out of the city and rest, let's go in and see, maybe we can find any clues."

"Okay, then listen to the second grandfather."

Zhaoju ordered ten cavalry guards to enter the city, and he left the army outside the city to rest.

Naogulu, Qin Bumei, Ju Dakui, and Li Tianqi also came in with Zhaoju.

Although Li Tianqi has become Zhaoju's internal official, this kid has played tricks along the way, he has been caught several times when he escaped, and he often plays a scoundrel, so Zhaoju didn't dare to take it lightly and took strict care of him, not letting this guy out of his sight.

The city of Fenzhou is the same as that of Bingzhou, the city is fragmented, and weeds have grown on the collapsed buildings, which are more than half a person tall, and the deep grass is full of white bones, which makes people feel chilled.

It seems that no one has set foot here for a long time, and when you step on it, many grasshoppers jump out.

Qin Bumei muttered.

"Your Highness, what do you see?"

Zhaoju's heart ached.

"A dead city, I don't know if those places in Xiangzhou and Lizhou have also been slaughtered along the way?"

Qin Bumei sighed.

"Yes, you see that we haven't seen a single figure since we stepped on the border of the state, are all our people dead?"

Zhaoju shook his head.

"Impossible, there must be surviving people, but when they saw so many of us, they were dressed up outside the gate, they must have hid in advance, we just couldn't find them."

"What then?"

"Find them!"

"Oh-"

Li Tianqi followed behind, pouting when he heard this, Qin Bumei, this guy wants to act as a military advisor for Zhaoju, but he is not capable at all, if the Nine Emperors are not smart and thoughtful, they will be by such an entourage!

Along the way, Li Tianqi really looked at Zhaoju differently, this Nine Emperors has a good plan for his subordinates, he is bold and careful, flexible in his mind, and able to envelop his subordinates, so that everyone can give full play to their abilities, this is also a kind of ability, Ju Dakui These people are all desperate to follow him, if they return to Gaochang Kingdom in time, with Princess Nata's attachment to him, it is not a problem to be afraid of making an emperor.

The group walked forward again, and was about to reach the center of the city, and found that there was a charred ground here, and many bones were burned black, and they were huddled together, apparently burned alive, in a terrible state.

Zhaoju didn't know that on that day, Zhaozhen led people to break through from Fenzhou, and most of the people could not escape, and the Dajing army slaughtered the city after entering the city, and they drove the people together to shoot and burn.

Li Tianqi was also dumbfounded, he didn't dare to imagine that Wan Yan A Shilan would kill so many people, if it was just a merger state, killing like this everywhere he passed, it could only prove that this person was a devil, and he was addicted to killing!

Zhaoju covered his heart, the pain was so painful that he couldn't help himself, he could only lament.

"There is such a cruel person in the world, I don't know what kind of person he will be written in the history books of later generations!"

Qin Bumei couldn't answer.

Naoguru sneered sarcastically.

"The history book is written by the winner, if he wins, maybe he will be written as a generation of Tianjiao, if he loses, he will be worthless, and he will be stinking for 10,000 years!"

Zhaoju only nodded.

"Yes, what the second grandfather said is very much, the so-called success and defeat of the king, one will succeed and ten thousand bones will wither, if Wan Yan A Shilan swept my big mountain, maybe it will really go down in history, and the success will cover a thousand years."

Qin Bumei was indignant.

"It's so cruel and can be praised, how can it be so indiscriminate, is there such a precedent in history?"

Zhaoju snorted.

"Of course there is, you see Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty has made a thousand achievements, but he did an extremely cruel thing, that is, he set up a son to kill his mother, but when later generations talk about Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, how many people will only think of his great achievements, and a few people will think of him killing the mother of his own children."

"Oh, it turns out that Emperor Wu of Han is so bad!"

Zhaoju clenched his fists.

"This king will never let Wan Yan A Shilan's conspiracy succeed, he wants to destroy my Dawei, I must teach him to be destroyed!"

At this time, Qin Bumei didn't want to go any further, he was a little scared.

"Your Highness, there's nothing to see here, shall we go back?"

Zhaoju looked up and looked ahead, there was really nothing to see, and he was about to turn the horse's head to leave, when suddenly Zhiguru stretched out his hand and pointed to the side.

"Wait, you see, what's that?"

As soon as everyone turned their heads, they saw a faint cigarette rising from the ruins.

There are people who burn incense, Zhaoju was excited, this must be the surviving people of Fenzhou who are making sacrifices here, he hurriedly waved his hand, and led a group of people to urge the horse to walk towards the place where the cigarette rose.

Walking through a broken wall, an altar appeared in front of it, and the altar was empty and empty, except for two incense burners, two incense sticks, but they had burned to the end of the cigarette.

Qin Bumei had some regrets.

"The incense burner may have been gone for a while, and the smoke is about to go out."

Zhaoju was a little excited, and there was a lit incense, which proved that there were people nearby, but he hadn't found it yet.

"Yes, we came in from the north gate, we didn't see anyone, they may have gone out from the south gate, let's chase it out and have a look!"

Qin Bumei looked around and shook her head.

"Your Highness, shall we gather an army?"

"No, let's go to the south gate first to have a look, and now go back and mobilize the army, and those people will hide immediately."

"But Your Highness, who knows if the person who burned the incense is a spy of the Great Capital Kingdom, what if they deliberately lead us to be fooled?"

Li Tianqi sneered.

"Lord Qin, didn't you say that you want to learn to be a military advisor, that's all you know?"

Qin Bumei was a little angry.

"I haven't seen anything, are you itching again?"

Li Tianqi smiled again.

"Haha, it's good for Wan Yan A Shilan to leave a few spies in this kind of place, and he will also set up a trap, does he know that the Nine Emperor Princes will bring troops?"

Qin Bumei's face was a little unbearable.

"Get out of here, don't beg for a fight, Wan Yan A Shilan is so bad, she can't do anything bad!"

At this time, Zhaoju and Naoguru had already jumped off their horses and walked towards the altar, and when they saw two tablets standing on the altar with words written on them, they approached to see them.

I saw that a sign on the left was written - Wen Zhonggong, Longtuge University Scholar, Dongbo Jushi, and Mr. Su Zizhong, the training envoy of the state regiment, the spiritual position, this word is written crookedly and very ugly, Zhaoju took a closer look, there is still handwriting under the wooden card, but it has been diluted by the rain, and the words on it should have been traced by someone later.

Qin Bumei asked: "Who is this, there is a lot of titles, which one is Su Zizhong?" ”

Zhaoju sighed sadly.

"Su Zizhong is Mr. Su Sheng, he is the world-famous Su University Scholar and Dongbo Scholar, Mr. Su's character is Zizhong, so what is written here is Su Zizhong, I didn't expect him to die in the battle of Bingzhou."

Zhi Guru looked at another sign, this sign did not have many words, and he read slowly: "Wei Qianyan is a real person under the Dongbo Layman's Sect." ”

As soon as this name came out, Zhaoju and Zhiguru were startled at the same time, Zhaoju's mother's name was Wei Qianqin, and the sign was written on Wei Qianyan, obviously their names were similar.

Zhaoju gasped, he suddenly thought of who this spiritual seat was written, and knelt down in front of the altar, two lines of tears burst out of his eyes.

Zhiguru saw that something was wrong, and asked in a low voice, "Hey, little nephew, who is this Wei Qianyan, and does she have anything to do with your mother?" ”

Zhaoju bowed three times and endured his grief.

"Qian Yan Zhenren is Xianyu Zhenren, she is the goddaughter of her grandfather, she has been secretly protecting her nephew all these years, when the foal is out of the customs, if she hadn't died, she would have died a long time ago."

In terms of seniority, Xianyu Zhenren is still Zhaoju's aunt, as soon as Zhaoju came back, he got the news of Xianyu Zhenren's death, which made him sad, the only thing Zhaoju didn't understand was that when did Xianyu Zhenren become a disciple of Su University? He had a history between Xianyu Zhenren and Su University, completely unaware of it.
