Chapter Thirty-Three: No One Collects the White Bones of Ancient Times
The group was then led by General Xu and marched towards the interior of Hanhai Devil City again.
The endless crimson sand was like the open jaws of a giant beast, ready to devour this small team that had suddenly broken in.
Tang Qing followed closely behind Uloland, paying close attention to the other party's every move, just in case this person wanted to take the opportunity to escape later.
The deeper you go into Devil's City, the more raging the wind and sand become, almost blowing so much that you can't open your eyes. In order to prevent anyone from being left behind, Tang Qing used hemp rope to connect all the horses together, which also effectively prevented the possibility of Wu Luolanyin escaping on horseback.
Fortunately, she deliberately brought a bundle of hemp rope before leaving, which was originally intended to be used to tie people up after she revealed that General Xu was a spy of the Huns, but now that it is good, the hemp rope came in handy in advance.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince knows that we will encounter such a big wind and sand on this trip, so we prepared a long rope in advance?" Wei Chen couldn't help but ask with some curiosity.
When they set off, they saw that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had specially brought a bundle of hemp rope, and he didn't pay much attention to it at the time and didn't ask much, and at this time he really had to admire His Royal Highness the Prince's foresight.
"Well...... Right! This is just in case, hehehe. Tang Qing did not deny that although this need was not the other's need, it was right to need hemp rope.
The team of twenty men rode one after the other for nearly an hour in the wind and sand, surrounded by strangely shaped mounds, each looking different, but as if each one was the same.
It is indeed very easy to get lost walking in such a directionless Hanhai Devil City, Tang Qing and the others have already begun to feel dizzy at this time, and they don't know where they are.
"General Xu, how long are we going to walk in this place? It's been 10 years since you last came, do you remember how to take the route? Tang Qing, who was walking behind, became a little impatient, and there was only red sand in her eyes, and she was about to become aesthetically tired after looking at it for a long time.
As the sun rises, the temperature on the Gobi gradually rises, and the scorching sun makes people drowsy, and this red strange stone forest does not know when it will end.
"Your Royal Highness the Prince, please rest assured, the last general is deeply impressed by this grain transportation route at the beginning, and he will never go wrong, and he will be able to reach Hecang City smoothly after another hour." Even if Xu Mingyuan was questioned by the prince, he could still answer in an orderly manner, and his psychological quality was indeed extraordinary.
With General Xu's words, the soldiers and boys who were originally in high spirits also had hope, and couldn't help but speed up the pace of marching.
Tang Qing pursed his lips, thinking to himself, you just continue to make it up, this guy obviously wanted to kill their will to take them around in circles in this labyrinth-like place.
But there was no way, General Xu hadn't shown anything yet, so she could only continue to accompany him to act. Pretending to be a melon-eating crowd who doesn't know the truth is also a technical job, and Tang Qing felt for the first time that he was also very talented in acting. (You're enough, you're obviously forcibly adding drama to yourself...... ==)
The group walked for about a stick of incense, and after climbing over a high mound, everyone was stunned by what they saw.
Behind the mound is a sunken basin, the same red sand that stretches into the distance, the only difference is that the red sand has an endless endless pile of white bones, as few as hundreds of thousands, and as many as millions of bones stacked on top of each other to spread the entire basin.
In the face of such a large-scale pit of 10,000 corpses, even Tang Qing, who had seen a lot of corpses and blood on the battlefield in his previous life, was also affected by a lot of shock in his heart at this moment.
Judging by the degree of ossification of the corpses, these people have been dead for at least ten years, and because of the dry climate of the desert, these bones have survived to this day.
War has always been cruel, from ancient times to the present, tens of thousands of lives have died in war, and with the passage of time, they are slowly buried and forgotten by history......
It was as if the bodies of the tens of thousands of heroic spirits who had been sleeping here had long since turned into a handful of dust, and apart from the bones that were still exposed to the wasteland and unkept, what else could prove their existence?
"Oh my God! This, how can there be so many dead people here?! A soldier brother in the team let out an exclamation, and because he couldn't bear the shock brought by such a scene, he fell to the ground with a weak leg.
"Hey...... This is the cruelty of war......" Tang Qing also let out a helpless sigh.
There is a possibility that so many bones will appear in the same place, this may have been an ancient battlefield, and these bones should belong to the soldiers who died on the battlefield back then.
Wei Chen looked at this piece of white bones that could not be seen with no end in his eyes, and felt sad, his face showed a sad color, and finally closed his eyes and sighed: "You don't see Qinghai, and no one has collected the white bones in ancient times......"
As soon as General Wei said this, everyone's mood became quite heavy.
Although the horse leather shroud is the best destination for every soldier in the army, but in the face of this situation, who wants to lay his body in such a wilderness after death, and never be able to rest in peace?
"Achen, do you think these are all the martyrs of the Great Jin? Doesn't it say that the deceased should be buried in the earth, and since we see it, we can't ignore it, right? Tang Qing tilted his head and asked Wei Chen beside him.
Wei Chen's deep starry eyes were overflowing with sadness at the moment, although His Royal Highness the Prince's words were right, but they were really powerless to do anything with them.
Staring at the Shura field in front of him, Wei Chen shook his head helplessly and said, "There are too many corpses here, we can't do anything. ”
"The bones here have been exposed to the wind and sun for at least ten years, and they are also heroes who shed blood and sacrificed for the Great Jin, and we are already very sorry for them if we can't let the predecessors return to their hometowns, we can't let them not rest in peace after death."
Tang Qing clenched his fists, and his whole person became solemn, these soldiers who sacrificed to defend their families and the country are worthy of her respect, since she has now become the crown prince of the Great Jin, she should do something for these martyrs.
Who knew that when Wei Chen heard Tang Qing say that these people all died ten years ago, he suddenly became extremely excited, his body trembled faintly, and his eyes instantly turned red, and he grabbed Tang Qing's shoulder tightly and choked and said:
"Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, you, are you sure that these bones are ten years old?"
Tang Qing was a little confused by Wei Chen's abnormal changes, his shoulder was pinched by the other party, and he couldn't understand what was wrong with General Wei?
But Tang Qing was still very confident in the identification of these bones, so he nodded and affirmed:
"Well, I'm sure that judging from the degree of ossification and brittleness of the corpses, it is indeed about ten years, and the reason why the bones here are relatively well preserved is because the climate of Devil City is dry, and the sandy soil that buries them is not conducive to the survival of microorganisms."
After Tang Qing's reconfirmation, the huge sadness swept through Wei Chen's body and mind like an overwhelming tide in an instant.
The surging tears burst out of his eyes uncontrollably, Wei Chen let go of the hand that grabbed Tang Qing's shoulder, staggered back three steps, and then turned around and rushed down the dirt slope like crazy, rushing towards the mass grave where the bones were stacked.
Everyone was stunned by General Wei's series of unusual actions, and they had no idea what was going on.
Tang Qing didn't have time to stop Wei Chen, who rushed out, he frowned fiercely, and without saying a word, grabbed Wu Luolanyin's collar and chased Wei Chen down the hill.
While wanting to care about why General Wei suddenly lost control of his emotions, Tang Qing did not forget to control Wu Luolanyin, a dangerous element, the current scene is chaotic, if this guy takes advantage of the chaos to escape, who will she have to cry to.
The shaman master who was once again treated like a dead dog by Tang Qing was so angry that he wanted to scold his mother, but he was poured a mouthful of wind and sand into his mouth, and he could only greet the eighteenth generation of the ancestors of the Sima family of the Great Jin Imperial Family in his heart.
Finally landed on both feet, Wu Luolan was about to have a seizure, but was slapped on the head by Tang Qing, and he fainted with both eyes.
Tang Qing shook his hand with a disgusted face, raised his foot and kicked Wu Luolan, who fell to the ground, to the side, and turned on the complaining mode in his heart, didn't he see that General Wei was in a bad mood? What else does this person want to shout about? Since this guy is so eyeless, she can only manually shut him up.
The young men who were still standing on the dirt slope were completely stunned by His Royal Highness the Prince's behavior, and they all looked at the Hun shaman who fell to the ground unconscious one by one, and they all instantly respected His Royal Highness the Prince, and admired him so much that they fell to the ground.
The only person in the world who dares to be so ruthless to the great shaman of the Huns and does not give any face is probably only their Royal Highness the Crown Prince......
General Xu was already messy in the wind at this time, and his whole person was not good...... Σ(°△°|||)
He finally figured out how the Great Shaman fell into the hands of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he couldn't have imagined it, okay?
No, even if he saw it with his own eyes, he couldn't accept such a reality.
The Great Shaman was powerless in the face of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!! How is this possible?!
