From the Tianxiong Dynasty to the Warring States Period, Youzhou, especially Northern Youzhou, was the front line of the Central Plains and the Ice Plains. For the sake of wealth and profit, the two sides fought endlessly, and it is not known how many people died.

After all, the various races in the ice field were inferior in numbers, and they gradually couldn't resist it, and retreated all the way to the north, but the contradictions and conflicts between each other were still the same.

It wasn't until later that Donglu produced a swordsman named Zhongyou, who said, "The way of benevolence, when you kill the greedy and cruel, you can restore peace in the world." One person and one sword went to the north of Youzhou, and saw the raiders, regardless of race, just one sword.

So the most greedy and vicious raiders gradually died, and Nakayu used his sword to bring a natural knockout of the land, killing all those who he felt could only be held back and had no positive meaning.

And he himself, in this process, also had some understanding, on the basis of "benevolence" and put forward "brave", and finally the unity of knowledge and action, cultivated into an immortal Buddha, is one of the four sages of Confucianism, the "Yong Sage" Zhongzi Road.

And on the side of the ice field, without those who can cause the most trouble, the means of fighting between the two sides gradually have a bottom line, and slowly, duels replace slaughter, and the wealth from the ice field is still stained with blood, but the two sides are gradually showing a trend of integration.

Later, the princes who established the country here named the country "Xiang".

Xiang, help. The name is in honor of the peerless swordsman who helped restore order to the land.

After the establishment of Great Xia, there were already mixed races of various races in the Ice Fields and the Great Xia people in Youzhou.

These hybrids became a bridge between the two sides, convincing some of the Iceland races to accept Bactria rule, establishing a number of villages that were at least nominally subordinate to Bactria and becoming the vanguard of Bactria in its northern expansion.

Most of the towns and villages in Xiangyuan and further north were founded by these half-breeds.

These half-breeds are called the "Icefield Race".

They are not as resistant to cold as pure icefield races, but they are also somewhat resistant to the cold.

Only people like them can build one town and village after another in the ice and snow, and rely on the connection of blood to persuade those ice races to stay and become a part of Great Xia.

But they certainly have enemies.

At all times, there are always people who insist that "those who are not of my race will have different hearts" and adopt a thorough and fierce attitude of rejection of all "outsiders".

...... After all, they can benefit from it, and in order to make benefits, they have done everything to hurt nature and reason, so what is it to shout a few slogans?

The Zeng family is one of the leaders of these forces.

Pan Long followed the six innate masters of the Zeng family, walked from day to night in one breath, and finally saw them stay outside a small village and open the iron box.

Inside the iron box, there were three people.

If...... It can still be considered a "human".

The appearance of those three people was extremely miserable, with broken bones, cramps, skins, and Ling Chi...... Almost all traces of torture can be found on them, but they are all still alive.

I don't know what means were used, they are obviously no longer human, but they are still alive and not dead.

What's even more terrifying is that they twitch and moan, and they seem to have a clear feeling.

In an instant, Pan Long almost couldn't help but draw his knife to cut people.

He asked himself if he was a kind person, he had walked the rivers and lakes over the years, killed many people, and seen countless bloodsheds.

But he could not tolerate this excessive cruelty.

Killing people is not too much, even if it is a great hatred, it is almost the limit to be killed with knives or sticks, and to torture people like this, in addition to satisfying the abuser's perverted hobby, can there be any other reason?

Pan Long squinted his eyes, suppressing his murderous aura and not letting them leak out.

He didn't know what the Zeng family's plans were. But in his heart, the principal of the Zeng family, as well as the six actual executioners, have been sentenced to death.

Those who are transported on the road may not know it, but the six people who will eventually execute it certainly do.

If you can do this kind of thing, then you don't need to say anything about what is wrong or what is wrong!

Pan Long forcibly pressed the killing intent in his heart and waited patiently.

The Zeng family spent so much time and energy transporting the three victims who had been tortured to the northernmost tip of Youzhou, and they must have wanted to do something.

There is no doubt that there is a conspiracy behind this.

But what exactly is the conspiracy? He had to figure it out.

Pan Long is not a very patient person, but after waiting for such a long time, he doesn't mind waiting a little longer.

As for the three victims...... People have become like that, and they are no longer saved.

The person who was tortured to that point, although still alive, actually broke down mentally a long time ago. For them, living is only suffering.

Even if Pan Long had saved them and healed their wounds, the suffering they had suffered would have destroyed them in nightmares after nightmares—no, they might not have survived even the first nightmare.

Rather than live like this, it is better to die to be liberated......

There are only two things that Pan Long can do for them.

The first thing is to wait and let them die as comfortably as possible, and wash their souls, lest they die and become terrible ghosts, forever immersed in pain and unable to extricate themselves.

The second thing is to arrest the murderers who mutilated them, from design to execution, all those brutal and aiding and abetting the abuse, they must be severely punished!

For this reason, I would like to ask them to bear with me a little longer.

Fortunately, they don't have to endure for long.

After unlocking the iron box, the vitality of the three people decayed at a rate visible to the naked eye. Anyone can see that they don't live long, and they can even be said to be dying.

The six masters of the Zeng family glanced at each other, nodded, and rushed out in groups of two, each with a victim.

Pan Long's consciousness swept away, and he saw that they had placed the three victims in three places in the village with a wide field of vision, and they had also written some words on the ground that he did not recognize—presumably the dialect native script that was circulating in Youzhou.

When they had done this, they turned around and left, and in a moment they were gone without a trace.

Pan Long sneered in his heart - he probably guessed the Zeng family's routine.

The three who were tortured to the point of being inhuman may be of the Ice Plains ethnic group or the Great Xia people.

If it is an Icefield race, it should be through this method to stimulate these Icefield races who have a good relationship with Great Xia and provoke conflicts with each other.

If it is a Daxia person, then it is naturally a fabricated crime, and after a few days, the Daxia official sent a search in the name of "looking for missing persons", found some clues, and finally followed the vine to find out the "truth" - the contradiction between the two sides naturally intensified.

In any case, the Zeng family's plan must be in the end to intensify the contradictions between the Ice Plains ethnic group and the Great Xia people, and it is best to provoke war.

Their plan was not very clever, and it could even be said to be simple and crude.

But this simple and crude plan is quite effective.

In any case, it is an indisputable fact that three people died tragically.

In this world, three lives are not a big deal, but if they die so miserably, the matter is serious.

This is a provocation!

In order to sow discord between the two ethnic groups and intensify contradictions, provocation is the most direct and effective means.

The snow-capped mountains in Beiyouzhou do not melt all year round, but no matter how cold the weather is, it is not as cold as the black hearts of these ghosts of the Zeng family!
