Chapter Eighty-Eight: Who Destroyed the Kingdom?
Chaoguo, the capital
Zhu Qin and Bai Zifang took all the official documents to the Lingyu Palace, and looked through them while taking care of Lin Xu, the most of them were war reports, and some letters requesting assistance, which were also approved later, and had been tracked, just riots or plagues.
"That's kind of interesting. Bai Zifang was holding a strip of cloth and had been looking at it for a long time, Zhu Qin leaned over and looked at the content on it, there were only two lines.
Qixi Town is flat in the east of the mountain, and there is no abnormality.
"What does this mean, half of the mountain disappeared out of thin air? Where did it go?" Zhu Qin thought that at that time, when the war was raging, a mountain would definitely not attract attention, but now it seems very strange.
"It doesn't matter where you go, the key is how it disappeared?" Bai Zifang flipped through the official documents again, arranged all the news of Qixi Town according to time, and found other towns that asked for reinforcements scattered around it according to the map.
"First of all, the plague broke out, and almost all the entire town died at this time, and then disappeared in the middle of the mountain, and then there were spirit beasts that slaughtered several surrounding towns, and the reinforcements arrived, not only did not destroy but wiped out the whole army?"
Bai Zifang didn't speak again for a long time, just stared at the map and kept looking, Zhu Qin understood what he was thinking, if it was said that Mao Lie was going to attack the Chaoguo, then he had already surrounded the capital, why did he still attack from the Changsheng River with great fanfare? If all this was planned by Mao Lie, but the style of acting was contrary to the courageous style of the God of War clan.
"Since the matter is Qixi Town, then I'll go there and have a look. Zhu Qin made up his mind, but Lin Xu hadn't woken up yet, and even if he woke up, he couldn't let him get into danger again, "Master Bai, you take care of Lin Xu here, I'll go by myself." ”
"How can this work? Not to mention what risks will be hidden in Qixi Town, even if there is no danger, you can't go alone. Zhu Qin knew that he was worried about himself, because she didn't have any offensive ability, but she couldn't always live in protection.
"Master Bai, Chaoguo is the home of our prophet clan, and it is my responsibility to find out the truth after the destruction of my homeland, and the Jade Mirror Continent is our home, and now that someone threatens its stability, I also have the responsibility to prevent him from setting off a bloody storm again. Looking at her resolute eyes, Bai Zifang knew that he couldn't keep it, so he had to untie the Qingyan rope from his body, maybe it could come in handy.
Qixi Town is not far from the capital, and Zhuqin has come to the outside of the town after walking for half a day and a night, full of devastation and no people. Before coming here, she had already discussed with Bai Zifang that she didn't need to go to the town to check, the clue must be on the mountain that disappeared in the east, so she directly bypassed Qixi Town and walked to the east.
Sure enough, there was a plain to the east, and there was no sign of any mountains, so Zhuqin was about to get to the place, squatted down and sensed it with both hands, "Huh." Zhu Qin felt the breath of someone, and it was underground, but she was not like Jin Daiyi who could change the terrain, how could she go down?
Just thinking of this, there was a series of sounds not far away, Zhu Qin had no place to hide at all, and the person who came up from the ground was also startled by her, stunned in place, the two looked at each other for a while, and finally remembered to escape, and the person went into the ground again, but even so, Zhu Qin could still feel where he was, one ran underground, the other chased on the ground, and after running for a while, Zhu Qin stopped and suddenly walked towards the town, because she already knew where this person's lair was.
"Path, path. Help me get food. The man put down the bamboo basket on his body, looked at the little girl who ran out of the house, and smiled with satisfaction.
"Dad, there's a big sister looking for you. The little girl's innocent words made the man's heart sink, and he took her hand and stood in the doorway to look inside.
Zhuqin was teaching the little girl to weave a straw hat, and she continued to finish the straw hat in her hand without looking up
'Why is she here, find a way to get rid of it.' '
I advise you to stop thinking about it. '
The man jumped and looked at Zhu Qin incredulously.
"I won't hurt you, I just want to talk. Zhu Qin picked up the finished straw hat and waved to the path for her to play with.
The man knew that she was not a bad person, otherwise Xiaolu would not be safe and sound, and sat down, but still with a sense of hostility.
"Is it just you father and daughter here?"
The man nodded.
"Are you from the DPRK?"
He shook his head again.
"And what are you doing here?"
"Guarded"
"Guarding what?"
The man fell silent, and it seemed that he could not speak.
'I can't say it, I don't want to die, and I can't say that the path is still small. It seemed that he was resolute, and Zhuqin did not force him, but turned to look at the path.
"She's your daughter?"
The man was afraid that Zhuqin would do something to her, so he blocked it in the middle with his body, still not saying a word.
"Haven't you thought about getting out of here?"
"To leave is to die. Zhu Qin was very curious about this answer, this place is deserted, there is no grass, how can he leave and die.
"What's the difference between living here and dying?" Zhu Qin said slowly, his eyes couldn't stop observing the man in front of him, his limbs were sound, and his reaction was quite sensitive when he ran away just now.
"At least alive. ”
"Then if you die, what will happen to the path. As soon as he mentioned Xiaolu, the expression on his face changed subtly, and Zhu Qin said even more bitterly: "She is still so young, do you want her to live like you, in this place where there are no dead people?"
His eyes moistened, and he thought that he knew that the fate of the path would not change in any way.
"You, can you take her away?" he must have been very entangled, he couldn't leave, whether the stranger in front of him could be trusted or not.
"Where am I going to take her? I can't keep taking her with me. ”
"Go to Joy City and find someone called Chuckle. ”
Zhu Qin looked at the path playing in front of him in disbelief, "She's a chuckling child?"
"You know chuckles. The man seemed to see hope, and his eyes were shining.
"There have been several encounters, but she's not in the hands of the Dead Soldiers?"
Hearing Zhu Qin say this, the man wanted to chuckle, since he even told her this, he must be someone who could be trusted, so he told all the ins and outs of the matter.
The dead soldiers organization is full of dead soldiers, naturally they will not raise a child, so they threw this child to him as a low-level spy, he came here after the destruction of the dynasty, just to guard the underground passage here, as for where the passage goes, he doesn't know, he only knows that it is full of sleeping war spirit soldiers, and the officers and soldiers who patrol will come to inspect every once in a while.
"Battle Spirit Soldiers?" It seems that it is exactly the same as Lin Xu guessed, they are using the abandoned city of the Dynasty to raise War Spirit Soldiers. "Why didn't you leave?"
"Where are you going to go if you leave? I grew up in the organization, and I don't have anywhere to go except the organization. He stroked the path with his hand, "But this child is different, she at least has hope of returning to her mother's arms, so can you please take her away?"
Zhu Qin nodded, agreeing to his request, but there was still a question she had to ask: "Are these war soul soldiers used to attack the dynasty?"
"Probably not, I think they're all dormant. ”
So what are these Spirit Soldiers going to do?
