Chapter 80: The Village Massacre

Liyang Palace is located in present-day Yanliang District, Shaanxi Province, and is one of the more famous national capitals in the history of the Great Qin Empire. In the Warring States Period www.biquge.info it was the capital of Qin Xiangong and Qin Xiaogong.

After Qin Xiaogong ascended the throne, the two famous Shang Yang reforms in history were launched in Liyang, and the launch of the Shang Yang Reform Law also laid the foundation for the rise of the Great Qin Empire.

Along the way, Xu Zhengyang and the others hurried up without resting at all, and finally rushed to the official road in front of Liyang Palace when the fish belly was white in the east.

Xu Zhengyang turned over and dismounted, holding the reins of the horse in one hand and slowly walked on the overgrown wilderness, where the glory and mystery of the past have long been gone.

"Why don't you have a little landmark?" Looking at the weedy wilderness, Wenge subconsciously thought that he was in the wrong place.

"Huh." Xu Zhengyang shook his head and said helplessly: "This is the change of history, and it is precisely this change that gradually promotes people's yearning for a famous society." ”

Wenge nodded as if he didn't understand, and took the reins and took the lead in walking towards the dry weeds, they didn't find the ruins of this Liyang Palace for a whole morning, and they didn't even leave a trace of it.

"Forget it, I originally wanted to see the shadow of the past, but now it seems that there is no chance." Xu Zhengyang smiled and turned on his horse and ran towards the village ten miles away.

At noon, everyone rushed to the outside of the village in sweat, but at this moment there was no movement in the village, not even a single sound of chickens and dogs, let alone curling smoke.

Yuan Cong rode on his horse and looked at the silent village, and said with a slight frown: "What happened here?" ”

"It smells of blood." Kong Jian twitched his nose and said in a hoarse and low voice.

"Hurry into the village." Xu Zhengyang said to everyone in shock.

"Hope is not real, hope is not real."

Xu Zhengyang rode on the horse, his face turned blue, thinking that it was not what he thought, but when the facts were in front of him, he weakly shed tears of grief.

In his heart, he also felt extremely angry and unwilling for the dead villagers in front of him.

How did these simple people who had lived here for generations know that there was a Qin State Tomb buried under the ground where they lived, and it was precisely because they lived above this Qin State Tomb that they were slaughtered.

Looking at the corpses lying on the ground, Xu Zhengyang's tears had already dried up, he was not a sentimental person, but in the face of such innocent corpses of ordinary people who lost their lives, he couldn't help but shed tears again.

"Let's see if there's anyone alive?" Xuan Su shouted in grief.

Everyone's figures are constantly interspersed in front of and behind the house full of corpses, working hard and hopefully to find a living person.

Xu Zhengyang stood motionless, the tears on his face had already been dried by the cold and biting cold wind, he knew very well in his heart that the enemy would not even let go of chickens and dogs, how could he let go of a villager.

As it turned out, after a circle of hopeful searching, everyone shook their heads weakly at him.

Although he had expected this to be the case, he again silently left tears of heartbreak, and for three hundred and eighty-five days of his life, he died under the enemy's slaughtering knife.

This includes women, children, and the elderly, and even one or two pregnant women can be found in this corpse strewn with corpses, but the pregnant women have already been disemboweled.

"These things that are inferior to livestock are simply a loss of conscience." Looking at the corpse of the pregnant woman, Yuan Cong burst into tears and gritted his teeth and scolded.

"What should I do?" Then Wenge asked Xu Zhengyang with tears and sadness.

After Xu Zhengyang heard this, he glanced at everyone and walked towards the outside of the village in a wooden manner.

"Bury them all here!"

Under a pine and cypress tree outside the village, Xu Zhengyang sorted out his thoughts, looked into the distance with a solemn expression and said.

It took a whole afternoon to bury the 385 bodies of the village.

Although everyone was exhausted, they still insisted on building a pair of big bonfires for the innocent dead villagers outside the pine and cypress forest.

"I hope there are still people who have gone out to escape this catastrophe!" Bai Ling stood solemnly by the bonfire and whispered.

"Hopefully!" Xu Zhengyang sighed and shook his head weakly.

Just as they were around the campfire, they suddenly heard the neighing of horses not far away.

"Someone."

Wenge let out a vigilant roar, turned and dodged away into the dark night.

When Wen Ge took the lead in coming to the place where the horse was tethered, he saw Xu Zhengyang's big white horse with its front hooves raised and roared low into the grove on the side.

"Come out."

Wenge pulled out his mandarin duck sword and slowly leaned towards the grove.

"Don't come, don't come."

At this moment, a faint female voice came from the dark grove.

"If you don't come out again, don't blame me for being rude." Wenge yelled coldly.

"Okay, I'll come out."

Then I saw a girl with a dirty face walking out of the grove tremblingly.

"Why steal horses?" Wen Ge squinted, raised the mandarin duck sword in his hand and asked coldly.

"I didn't steal horses, I just ......"

"Didn't steal horses? So why do horses bark? Just when the girl was still trying to quibble, Bai Ling, who followed over, asked with her eyes glaring.

When the girl saw everyone staring at her coldly, she immediately burst into tears.

"Sister, don't cry, tell me what you've experienced!" Xuan Suxin slowly walked towards the girl as she spoke.

After hearing Xuan Suxin's words, the girl's crying became louder, and her mouth was still stumbling, vaguely saying that all the people in the village had been killed.

Finally, under the comfort of Xuan Suxin, the girl stopped crying, but still looked at everyone with a frightened face, and said timidly: "Who are you?" Why do you want to help bury people in the village? ”

"We were just passers-by, but we didn't expect to find this tragic scene." Xuan Suxin responded.

At this time, Xu Zhengyang walked over, squatted in front of the girl and asked, "Do you know who killed the people in the village?" ”

"I don't know." The girl shook her head, then added, "But I know there are still people alive." ”

"Alive? Where is it? Xu Zhengyang hurriedly asked.

Looking at Xu Zhengyang's anxious look, the girl thought that there were his relatives in the village! He stood up and said, "In ......."

"Say it quickly!" Bai Ling was in a hurry for a while, so he asked the girl loudly.

Xu Zhengyang saw that the girl was frightened, so he said softly: "You tell me that we can avenge the villagers." ”

"Really?" The girl's eyes lit up and she asked excitedly.

"Hmm." Xu Zhengyang nodded at the girl with a straight face, and said, "You hurry up and take me to the living person, maybe he can give me a clue about those bad people, and then we can avenge the villagers." ”

"Okay, I trust you." The girl nodded, and led everyone towards the outside of the village.

When the girl brought everyone to a small hill outside the village, she shouted loudly to the hill: "Grandpa the village chief, I have brought someone to see you." ”
