"I don't understand." Zhuang Rou looked at him and said.

Chu Xia turned his head to stare at the mouth of the valley where the fire could already be seen in front of him, and said with a smile: "You don't have to understand, it doesn't matter at all." ”

"Remember what you said? This life of mine is yours, so you must have the consciousness to protect me. And that's what happened to me, and it's not the first thing, and it's not going to be the last. ”

He shook Zhuang Rou's hand hard, "My life is yours, then you have to give me your life too, this is the price you have to pay." This is not a joke, no matter if there is a mountain of knives or a sea of fire in front of you, you have no way out. ”

Zhuang Rou was dragged forward by him, looking at his side face all the time, his eyes shining in the light of the firelight. Those eyes looked firmly ahead, she couldn't refuse such an invitation, so she also clenched Chu Xia's hand.

Chu Xia didn't look at her, but he could feel Zhuang Rou's decision from his hand, and he laughed at this moment.

When the horses arrived at the mouth of the valley, all the officials drew their knives and entered the gate of the valley vigilantly, and were immediately frightened by the corpses illuminated by the light of the torches.

They had never seen such a scene before, and there were corpses everywhere, which could be described as a mountain full of wilderness.

"Wow!" Many people were so vomited by the smell of blood and the tragic situation here, and I am afraid that the scene I saw tonight will never be forgotten for the rest of my life.

Chu Xia stood at the gate, looking at the corpses from a distance, and did not take a step further. He showed an uneasy expression, let go of Zhuang Rou's hand, covered his mouth and said in surprise: "What's the matter, what happened here, so many people died!" ”

As soon as the words fell, a black shadow flashed out, and Mu stood in front of them covered in blood, startling everyone.

"Mu Shenzhuo, what's going on, you're okay!" Chu Xia asked in surprise, wanting to step forward but retreating to the back because of the blood on his body.

Mu never sang with others, but he didn't smash other people's stages, he just said in the usual way: "Lord Zhizhou, when I rushed to save the son of King An's Mansion, I alarmed the guards here. When the fight began, the guards felt that the tide was turning, and they killed the people. ”

"By the time I get rid of the leader here, it's too late. Many people were driven into the mines by them, and they were poisoned, and I am afraid that there is no chance of survival. ”

He said expressionlessly: "That mine can't go down now, it will be poisoned and die." I was seriously injured, and I want to go back to the state government for treatment first, and the matter here will be troubled by Lord Zhizhou. ”

After hearing this, Chu Xia beat his chest with grief and indignation, and said with a face full of self-reproach: "These hateful gangsters! It's because I can't govern it, and I actually let such a gang of mine thieves and bandits come out here, so that they have harmed so many people. ”

"If we don't dispose of it, the mine will be in ruins, and people and animals will not survive. I'm afraid that if we stay here for a long time, we will also be poisoned and die. ”

The officials brought from the Hongzhou Yamen already felt that it was hell on earth when they saw this amazing scene. No matter how resolute people are, they feel that these bandits are simply inhumane, and they slaughter people in desperation.

Just when he was disgusted and angry, when he heard that there was such a strong poison here, his face suddenly changed color.

"My lord, get out quickly, what if you get poisoned!" Ma De hurriedly said, sniffing vigorously, wondering if there was already poison floating here.

Looking at his loyal appearance, Chu Xia borrowed the pole and climbed up, and said shamelessly: "If I don't leave, how can I be afraid of this little poison." As long as it is repaired, it will be a place to accommodate the homeless people, and it can also produce mines to make Hongzhou prosperous. It's just a poison, and it can't scare the official! ”

Ma Dezheng didn't know if he really wanted to stay here at this time, or if he said it casually, but if no one took it, the play would not have been able to be sung.

He threw himself at Chu Xia's feet and cried bitterly, "My lord, you have to take care!" Don't be impulsive, if something happens to you, how can the people of Hongzhou live! ”

"You let go, if you're afraid of death, just retreat. If anyone is willing to stay and clean up this place with the official, so that the bones of these people can be returned to the earth, the official is grateful! Chu Xia flicked his sleeves and said unhappily, eager to kick Ma Dezheng away.

Mu didn't want to look at it, so he arched his hand casually, and the person disappeared into the darkness.

I didn't know what Chu Xia was doing at all, anyway, there was no danger here, so Zhuang Rou took a few steps to the side, and really didn't want to stand with him.

Unexpectedly, Chu Xia didn't let her go, and said excitedly: "Zhuang Yuma, you are really a hero, I didn't expect that in the end, only you were willing to bury the people with me." ”

Zhuang Rou looked at him speechlessly, and had some suspicions that he had hallucinated when he was pulling him just now, and this guy had only a lot of work to pull himself in.

Listening to what he meant, it seems that he wants everyone to bury the bones, this kind of thing can just say no, why bother to make so many bends.

People have been killed so much, they can't be let into the wilderness, they have to be buried.

So, she looked at the many officials who were still vomiting and said, "Why are you standing, those poisons can't float out, hurry up and clean up here, let everyone go into the ground first." Make a note of their tokens and looks, and then go back to their families. ”

Chu Xia pursed his lips and looked at her, the expression on his face couldn't be described, feeling that he was agreeing, but he was vaguely aggrieved.

Zhuang Rou gave him a big look, what to pretend, there is a kind of pretending for a lifetime!

However, just over an hour later, Zhuang Rou regretted what she had just said. She just went to take a break, took a sip of water to ease her emotions that had been disturbed by tonight, and saw a huge smoke rise from the valley.

A scorching smell came and it didn't smell pleasant.

She hurried to the middle of the valley, and saw a mountain of corpses in the middle of the clearing, on which a fire was raging.

Go up in flames!

Just like what Mu wanted to do before, she stopped it, except for the corpses in the mine, all the corpses were burned.

"Boom!"

Zhuang Rou was startled for a moment, turned his head to look over, and saw a huge flame bursting out of the mine, illuminating the entire valley.

The mine was also ignited, and the flammable gas inside blew up the entire mine.

The officials looked at the raging fire with ugly faces, and they all felt a little uncomfortable in their hearts, and they were afraid that they would not be able to sleep for a long time when they went back.

"You burned them!" Zhuang Rou looked at the mountain of corpses in amazement, why did it suddenly burn?

This kind of burning method, that is not burial, this is the destruction of corpses!

Just when she was surprised, she heard a slight dissatisfaction in the tone of the official reply, "Isn't this your order?" With so many corpses wanted to be buried before the plague appeared, there was no other way but to burn them. ”

"The mine is poisonous, and if you don't blow it up, no one will be able to go down, and it will poison other people. Zhuang Yuma was really decisive, and immediately made a decision, and this mine will be able to start construction in a few days to earn money for the imperial court. ”

Zhuang Rou couldn't hear the ridicule and resentment in these words, but instead of looking for the person who said this, he turned his head to look at Chu Xia. But he saw that his eyes seemed to be flashing brightly, and he was looking up at the mountain of corpses with a sad face, as if he was crying for the dead people.

Looking at his sad appearance for a long time, Zhuang Rou raised his forehead and laughed, and the laughter became louder and louder, reverberating in the valley.

Everyone was sad and unbearable, and she was the only one laughing unscrupulously, which made the people present shiver.

Cool officer, that's how it is!
