Just as Wei Chi was about to go to the sand demon lair, Hu Shuntang ordered the soldiers to go first, because he was worried that there would be danger, so he decided to let the soldiers search first.

Wei Chiran asked, "Five years ago, weren't all the sand demons here cleared?" ”

Hu Shuntang explained: "Little Lord, it's been five years, even if there is no sand demon, maybe there are other monsters?" Let's let the sergeant investigate first. ”

"No need," Wei Chiran directly slapped his horse and rushed down, and Hu Shuntang saw this and hurriedly called the brigade to follow.

When he arrived at the entrance of the nest cave, Wei Chi wanted to enter, and Hu Shuntang patted his horse in front of him: "Little prince, let's explore first." ”

Wei Chiran said coldly: "If you stop ...... again"

Halfway through the words, Wei Chiran deliberately left the other half, and Hu Shuntang had to pull the horse to the side, and after dismounting, he followed Yu Chiran into the cave. Everyone behind Wei Chiran drew their weapons, and the soldiers also clenched their arrows and watched their surroundings closely.

The excavation method of the cave is indeed exactly the same as that of the secret passage, which leads in all directions, and there are small caves on both sides of the passage that are similar to human habitation, and there are even utensils in them, and Wei Chiran also found human bones in them.

The lieutenant stopped in front of the bones and asked, "How can there be human bones here?" ”

He Chenxue and Tang Anshu also felt strange, why were there human bones?

"Little Lord, these bones should be the ones who were mutilated by the sand demons," Hu Shuntang immediately explained, "The other is the sergeant who died here. ”

Wei Chiran glanced at Hu Shuntang: "The sergeant who died here? Didn't you send someone to clean up the battlefield? The corpse of the sergeant was discarded so casually? ”

The previous lieutenant Chi Ran also saw a lot of corpses outside, and he was a little skeptical that Hu Shuntang, a general, was qualified, and he didn't clean the battlefield or collect the corpses of his sergeants, so that such a person could convince the public?

Hu Shuntang was a little flustered: "Little Wangye, although we won a big victory that day, however, this is always a sand demon lair, plus there have been scouts to report, there are other monsters and monsters around here, for safety reasons, we immediately withdrew from here after the big victory." ”

Wei Chiran didn't say anything, just continued to walk into the cave, and Hu Shuntang was also smart, and immediately ordered his sergeants to clean up all the corpses in the sand demon lair, which could be regarded as a kind of compensation.

The sand demon's lair was indeed very large, like the nest of an underground ant, and it was hard for him to imagine how the sand demon lived here, and the strange thing was that there were human bones everywhere, and pile upon pile. When Wei Chiran was about to go down, he was stopped by Hu Shuntang.

Hu Shuntang said: "Little prince, it's dangerous here, don't go any further." ”

Tang Anshu also advised: "Little prince, let's go out." ”

He Chenxue also felt that this cave was weird and terrifying, and stepped forward and said, "Little prince, after all, this is the lair of the once sand demon, so you should be careful." ”

Wei Chiran asked Hu Shuntang: "After you poured in the rainwater, how many sergeants were sent to search inside?" ”

Hu Shuntang replied: "Two thousand sergeants searched the cave for two days. ”

Wei Chiran said: "The cave is so big, the rain you poured into it may not be enough to kill the sand demon in it, two thousand people have been searching here for two days, I think, I'm afraid the search has not been completed, right?" ”

When Hu Shuntang didn't know how to answer, Wei Chiran said again: "General, who was the general who led the sergeant to search that day?" ”

Hu Shuntang replied: "It's Captain Bai." ”

Wei Chiran asked, "Where is this person?" He's supposed to be here, right? ”

Hu Shuntang immediately called Captain Bai forward, and the captain took a look at it slowly, isn't this Bai Zhi? How did this guy become a captain under Hu Shuntang here, he looks like a righteous Ling Ran.

Bai Zhi hugged his fists and said: "Subordinate Bai Zhi, former military captain of the Secret Gate Army." ”

Wei Chiran asked: "Captain Bai, let me ask you, did you find anything unusual during your search of the sand demon's lair for two days that day?" Have you searched them all? ”

"I didn't search all of them, because the sand demon's lair was too big, and the two thousand sergeants under my subordinates didn't dare to go too deep," Bai Zhi was honest and didn't hide it, "But after the subordinates entered, there was dust left by the sand demon everywhere, and the cave was full of mud, I led the army into the depths, and I didn't see the footprints of the sand demon fleeing, which is enough to prove that there should be no sand demon in the depths, and if there is, there will definitely be footprints when fleeing." ”

When Wei Chiran saw Bai Zhi say this, he knew that there was no point in pursuing it further, he was not here to investigate the results of the sand demon annihilation war five years ago, but to investigate the case, so he said: "Take the place where I am standing as the boundary and collect the corpses." ”

After that, Wei Chi turned around and walked out of the cave, and Hu Shuntang breathed a sigh of relief.

Outside the sand demon lair, the sergeants had set up tents and pergolas, and the scouts had set out to scout the surroundings, fearing that there were other monsters, bandits, and monsters around. Wei Chiran, Hu Shuntang and others sat under the pergola, watching the skeletons be carried out of the sand demon cave, and at the same time, the sergeants were also struggling to clean up the bones on the external battlefield.

Wei Chiran looked at the skeletons placed in the distance, and said in a low voice: "General Hu, I'm helping you." ”

Hu Shuntang hurriedly said: "Thank you, little prince." ”

The lieutenant said chiranly: "You rely on the soldiers under your command to work for you, you have to respect them, whether in life or after death." ”

Hu Shuntang thanked him again, resentful in his heart, but he didn't dare to say anything. Lazy people listen to books

Wei Chiran looked at those bones and asked Tang Anshu, "Lord Zhizhang, how many bones do you think?" ”

Tang Anshu immediately replied: "My subordinates have counted a little just now, and there are at least three hundred bodies that have been carried out so far. ”

Wei Chi said: "Among the three hundred bones, how many do you think are the corpses of sergeants, and how many are the corpses of the murdered people and merchants?" ”

He Chenxue immediately said: "There should be no corpses of sergeants, because the corpses are not wearing leather armor or weapons, they should all be killed civilians and passing merchants." ”

Wei Chiran immediately summoned Bai Zhi and asked, "When you searched the cave that day, did you fight with the sand demon?" ”

"No," Bai Zhi replied, "My subordinates have already told the little prince just now, and after my subordinates led their troops into the cave, they didn't find any living sand demons. ”

Hearing this, Wei Chiran glanced at Hu Shuntang: "In other words, the corpses in the cave do not have a sergeant's, which is strange." ”

Hu Shuntang didn't dare to ask, just smiled awkwardly. Tang Anshu asked: "Little prince, what's strange?" ”

Wei Chiran said: "Isn't it strange that the sand demon has killed hundreds of people, and there are only three people killed in the records of the Torture Temple in Iron Prison County?" ”

He Chenxue immediately said: "Those are only confirmed to be killed by the sand demon, and the missing people are not among them. ”

"Really? But I've also seen the missing files," Wei Chiran said quietly, "The number of missing people is less than a hundred, you see, the bones that are now placed there are more than five hundred, right?" Isn't it strange that they are still moving out, all of them are moving out, and it is estimated that there are close to 1,000 people? ”

It's so strange, what was the situation of the Sand Demon Annihilation War back then?

Wei Chiran asked Hu Shuntang: "General Hu, could you please tell me the details of the Sand Demon Annihilation Battle five years ago?" ”

Hu Shuntang couldn't hide it anymore, so he had to say: "Little prince, in fact, everything went so smoothly back then, especially with that rainstorm, it was as simple as opening the floodgates and releasing water." ”

Wei Chiran asked, "Didn't you investigate beforehand?" ”

Hu Shuntang said: "After I came to the secret gate to take up the post of general, I have been sending scouts to find the sand demon lair, after finding it, I paid close attention to it, and found that the sand demons here gathered at least about 3,000, most of whom were men, and they also held weapons. ”

Wei Chiran smiled and said, "Fifty thousand against three thousand, I think, even if there is no rainstorm, you will not lose, right?" ”

"This is a bad statement," Hu Shuntang explained, "ordinary weapons can't kill the sand demons, so our 50,000 people are not afraid in the eyes of the 3,000 sand demons, and I haven't sent troops for a long time, because I don't want the 50,000 soldiers to die in vain." ”

Wei Chi thought for a while and asked, "So, how many people did our army lose during the Sand Demon Annihilation War?" ”

Hu Shuntang hesitated for a long time before answering: "More than 800 people." ”

This number made Tang Anshu and He Chenxue a little surprised, 50,000 against 3,000, and with the blessing of heavy rain, plus the water spirit rune, how could they lose more than 800 people?

There must be something hidden in this.

Wei Chiran asked: "With such a heavy rainstorm, the sand demon was drenched and lost his ability to move, and you even lost more than 800 people, why is this?" ”

Hu Shuntang said: "It's strange to say, many sand demons have not lost their combat effectiveness after being drenched in the rain, they have been resisting and fighting. ”

When Wei Chi heard this, he suddenly remembered something, he got up and walked out of the pergola, and walked quickly to the place where the corpses were placed, the corpses were divided into two groups, the left side was found from the outside battlefield, and the right side was excavated from the cave.

Wei Chiran stood in front of the corpses and watched, among the corpses on the left, some of them were wearing leather armor, some were not, and there was no leather armor in the corpse group on the right, in other words, only the sergeants were sacrificed on the battlefield, and no sergeants died in the cave afterwards, so those bones were not the sand demons?

Wei Chi slowly asked a question: "General Hu, does the sand demon have bones?" ”

Hu Shuntang was stunned: "No, there is no ......"

Wei Chiran looked at him and asked, "Then are you sure that on the external battlefield, those you killed are sand demons?" ”

Hu Shuntang didn't know how to answer, but was stunned on the spot.

He Chenxue and Tang Anshu also realized something, and the two didn't dare to speak, so they had to stand aside.

Wei Chiran looked at Hu Shuntang in front of him: "General Hu, you shouldn't be killing good and risking merit, right?" ”

"The subordinates don't dare, the subordinates ......" Hu Shuntang hurriedly knelt on the ground, "The subordinates did hide something, but they definitely didn't kill the good and take the risk." ”

Wei Chi asked: "What was the situation that day, you told me 1510." ”

Hu Shuntang looked at the bones everywhere, closed his eyes and said: "Actually, after the subordinates came to Iron Prison County, they didn't know what the sand demon was, so I inquired around and found that there was no difference between the sand demon and the appearance of people, so I don't know how to tell the difference, is it splashed one by one with scarce water?" Naturally, it can't be done, so, the subordinates managed to let people capture a sand demon alive, of course, I was very sure that it was the sand demon, and then quietly followed him to find the sand demon's lair, and the subordinates only brought a dozen or so people in order to confirm with their own eyes, I wanted to see with my own eyes what the sand demon gathering place was like. ”
