Chapter 148: Mountain Village Slaughter, Time Fights
The sunset is like a fire, reflecting the edge.
Along the mountain village near the junction of the Yu Kingdom and the Eastern Liang Kingdom, Yunge Village looked into the distance, and what came into view was the mountains covered in white. The mountain of Tongzhi rising from the ground, standing in it, is magnificent, and it is amazing to be a masterpiece of the devil's axe.
The villagers of Yunge Village are no longer in the mood to enjoy the scenery of this mountain, because many years ago, they no longer see these scenery that they are familiar with from the beginning.
What was once a peaceful mountain village has now been completely destroyed. The ruins left behind after the burn have long made people unable to see the scenery of the once scattered mountain village houses. The ground was covered with dried blood, and corpses were strewn there. Those burnt or rotten faces are left with incomprehension, unwillingness, fear, and reluctance to live before death.
It can make people discern the eyes that have never been closed, as if they are silently telling people about all the murder here, telling about their deaths.
All of this will only be reported to the imperial court in the end, and it will end with a sentence that the barren mountain bandits did evil again, burning, killing, and plundering. However, the truth of the facts, even if many days have passed, still makes An Wenping feel cold in his hands and feet, and feel indignant and sad.
Thinking of the order of the emperor's grandson that day, the ruthless executioners picked up the butcher's knife and slaughtered the ordinary people who were once just trying to live their own lives, and then burned down the village and blamed everything on the barren mountain piracy, An Wenping never came to his senses.
For the first time in his life, he wondered in his heart: Are the barren mountain bandits really notorious as they are in the legend? Is there many times in the same situation, many times of burning, killing, and looting, in fact, they are not what they did, but are blamed by people with intentions?
Therefore, when he got along with Zixuan, he never felt that she was like a brutal barren bandit, and even often forgot her origin, and after contacting her family so many times, sometimes, he would feel that the other party was even more humane than the people in the Anguo Mansion and the powerful people he had ever seen, and he knew the difference between good and evil.
The failure of the Huangshaling checkpoint and the loss of personnel made the imperial grandson determined to succeed in this trip to the Snow Ridge Mountains. Even if An Wenping said many times on the way here that there might be no treasure here, the attitude of the imperial grandson was the same as that of his grandfather An Guogong, saying that even if there was no treasure, he would seize the possible existence of the Shantai clan, at least sell it to the Jiagu Basin, and earn a sum of available resources from the three Jiagu clans.
Moreover, those women, as the records of the historical records show that they are not a group of fuel-efficient lamps, and they must not be allowed to hide in the kingdom and become a hidden danger.
Therefore, the imperial grandson, who attached great importance to this matter, not only joined up with the array mage sent from the imperial capital, but also took it upon himself to summon the remaining three people in the twelve guards of Dongying, and after gathering all the men and horses, he rushed here non-stop.
As early as a few days ago, they came uninvited and stationed in Yunge Village.
Until now, An Wenping still remembers that the head of Yunge Village he saw that day, with his ordinary appearance and honest personality, was scared because of the momentum of the emperor's grandson, but he still replied seriously, and arranged for the simple villagers to give them a group of people, and carefully presented the best meal that they could take out compared to themselves.
But he didn't want to, the imperial grandson inquired in detail, got the answer he wanted, and confirmed that the news that An Wenping got was not wrong, and after nine out of ten traces of the Lantai clan here, he gave an order mercilessly, slaughtering those simple and honest villagers like chickens and ducks, and taking his life, even if An Wenping tried every means to stop it, it failed to shake his decision.
At that time, what did the imperial grandson have to do with him?
"It's just a group of ignorant villagers, and if they know something they shouldn't know, they can only silence them. After all, only the dead mouth is the strictest. Ziyuan, you are always so soft-hearted, how can you do great things? ”
He thought, he never thought of doing great things, he just wanted to be recognized by the clan, live a peaceful life with his family, be in harmony with his wife Qin Se, teach a few children to grow up safely, and have children and grandchildren, and these are probably most of the wishes of these villagers!
Why, sometimes, for some people, even this most basic wish becomes a luxury?
After many days of exploration in the Snow Ridge Mountain Range, coupled with the judgment of the array mage who came from the imperial capital, the imperial grandson and his party got closer and closer to the ancestral land of the Lantai clan, and finally successfully arrived outside the ancestral land of the Shantai Ancestral Land Dharma Protector Array.
And when the Tantai sisters rushed home from the mountains and forests to eat, they had been pondering for more than ten days in addition to the formation to protect the ancestral land of the Tantai clan.
This time, the array mages sent by the Yu royal family were all elites, but they were not from the Immortal Alliance, after all, to avoid the leakage of the treasure, they didn't dare to let the Immortal Alliance know about it.
Xu is because of the formation itself, the age is too long, and it has long lost the warning function of the past, and it has not even given the slightest reminder to the Lantai clan inside. Maybe it's because the Tantai clan believes too much in the confusion of the ancestral formation, and they didn't think that someone could find this place, and because of the self-policing role that the formation here has never made mistakes since ancient times, they have never arranged for people to patrol at the border of the formation, which has caught them off guard.
In short, when the formation was broken and a loud sound was made, many people of the Tantai tribe did not react to what was going on. Except for the two people in power in the building at the top of the cliff, the Shotai Chacha and the Grand Wizard.
The two of them, who understood what the sound was about, looked at each other, and instantly made a judgment on all this in their minds, after the formation was broken, there was still a distance to reach the place where the Tantai clan lived, and in this only distance, it was the only time that the Tantai clan could strive to retain their vitality.
"Is this the time of your death?" Tantai Chacha suddenly asked.
"Probably, it should be......" The Grand Wizard gave an ambiguous reply.
"Hehe......" Yutai Chacha chuckled in a low voice, Huo Ran got up, his figure flashed, and he was gone.
The Grand Wizard slowly stood up and sighed in a low voice, "Old, ......" Otherwise, how could the danger be approaching, she only sensed at the last moment, if she was young and strong, how could she be so useless!
Then she sighed and shook her head again, and said, "Too young......" Her Great Wizard's successor was too young, so she didn't sense the danger approaching, leaving too little time for the clan to prepare.
Finally, she opened her mouth again, this time shouting.
The tacit understanding between the two over the years has caused them to make their own moves without even communicating.
So, hearing the rumbling sound, the Lantai sisters, who had gone out to investigate, heard a command that resounded through the sky, like all the clansmen.
"Full-Staff-Combat-Readiness——!"
