Chapter 662: The End
After Xu Yang saw Ma Zichen and other officials coming to the city wall, he looked at the tragic scene outside the city one by one in amazement, and said to everyone: "After three days and three nights of fighting between the enemy and us, the city and the city are full of corpses, and these corpses need to be buried quickly to prevent the spread of disease in Xiangcheng."

As soon as Ma Zichen said this, he suddenly came to his senses, nodded and said, "What Brother Xu said is very true. Our army has won a hard-won victory, and we dare not be careless in the slightest. ”
"General Xu, I will organize people to clean up these soldiers who died in battle. The generals on the city wall said.
However, because there are thick stones piled up in every gate of Xiangcheng, although the road can be easily cleared, but I am afraid that the Holy Lotus Sect army will take the opportunity to launch a surprise attack on Xiangcheng, then it will undoubtedly create a heaven-sent opportunity for the Holy Lotus Sect army, and the Holy Lotus Sect army will rush into Xiangcheng like a bamboo.
Therefore, the imperial court soldiers in the city did not dare to clean the stones in the city gate, but only threw ropes from the city wall one by one, and the soldiers went down to the city along the ropes to clean and bury the corpses of these soldiers who died in battle.
I saw ropes hanging down from all sides of the city wall of Xiangcheng, and the soldiers of the court came to the city with ropes in their hands, carrying the corpses while digging a big pit outside the city.
And when these imperial court soldiers came to the city to bury these soldiers who died in battle, the soldiers on the city wall did not dare to relax in the slightest, everyone watched the actions of the Holy Lotus Sect army from afar, and as long as there was a slight abnormality, they immediately let the soldiers under the city return to the city wall.
And the Holy Lotus Sect army in the distance of Xiangcheng naturally noticed the actions outside Xiangcheng, and the imperial court soldiers outside the city were burying the corpses of the soldiers, not only did not attack Xiangcheng, but prayed for the soldiers who died in battle.
Because there were countless corpses in Xiangcheng City, and after the imperial court soldiers cleaned up all these corpses, it took two or three days to completely clean them up.
During this period, the Holy Lotus Sect army never launched any attack on Xiangcheng, and let the imperial soldiers bury the soldiers who died in battle, cleaning up the battlefield outside Xiangcheng.
Because there were too many soldiers killed in the battle, and the generals in Xiangcheng were afraid that the disease would be epidemic in Xiangcheng, they ordered the soldiers outside the city to dig a pit hundreds of meters away from Xiangcheng, and ordered the soldiers to sprinkle a thick layer of lime outside the city.
As a result, whether it is the city wall or the ground outside the city, it is covered with a thick layer of snow-white lime, and it seems that Xiangcheng is dressed in white, which is particularly dazzling.
From the beginning of this battle to the final end, Xu Yang stayed on the southern city wall, watching every move of the Holy Lotus Sect army in the distance, thinking about how the Holy Lotus Sect army should attack Xiangcheng next.
After Ma Zichen handled the affairs in Xiangcheng, he slowly walked towards the city wall where Xu Yang was, and saw that there was no corpse on the city wall or outside the city, and the city wall was also covered with a layer of lime.
Because Xiangcheng was covered with a layer of lime, and all the corpses were buried, it took another three or four days to make the smell of blood and gunpowder permeate Xiangcheng very weak.
Ma Zichen saw that the disgusting smell of Xiangcheng was already very weak, so he smiled, and when he looked for Xu Yang on the city wall, he saw that Xu Yang and the disciples of the Divine Sect were all sitting on the futon, closing their eyes and cultivating something.
The soldiers and generals standing guard around stood motionless at their respective posts, watching the movements of the Holy Lotus Sect army in the distance, and no one stepped forward to disturb Xu Yang and the others.
Ma Zichen saw that there was no war now, and Xu Yang actually had the leisure to cultivate the method, so he walked over with a smile and said, "Brother Xu, if you want to cultivate, why don't you go back to the city? If there is something abnormal in the Holy Lotus Sect army, someone will also come to inform us." ”
"Why choose a place to cultivate? If I stay here, I can still cultivate calmly. Xu Yang replied with his eyes closed.
Seeing that Xu Yang insisted on staying on the city wall, Ma Zichen thought for a while and asked, "Brother Xu, when the Holy Lotus Sect army attacked Xiangcheng before, did you notice the shadows of the Thirteen Taibao and Zhang Feng in the enemy army?"
"I took a closer look, and there was no one in the Thirteen Taibao army in the Holy Lotus Sect army at all, and there was no Zhang Feng I was looking for. Xu Yang said.
When Ma Zichen heard that the Thirteen Taibao were not among the Thirteen Taibao when the Holy Lotus Sect army was attacking Xiangcheng, he muttered, "Then what does the Holy Lotus Sect want? Why haven't you seen the Thirteen Taibao appear for a long time?"
"I don't understand. Now we can only wait and see what happens, and adapt to deal with the Holy Lotus Sect army. I hope that when the Holy Lotus Sect army attacks Xiangcheng again, it will be worthwhile to see the Thirteen Taibao and Sect Leader He. Xu Yang said.
Ma Zichen nodded and said, "That's it." Then we will see the move, and we will not be able to let this gang of gangsters win. ”
"Ma Zichen, since I came to Xiangcheng, hasn't the imperial court sent officials or troops here?" asked Xu Yang.
When Ma Zichen heard Xu Yang mention the imperial court, he immediately became angry, gritted his teeth and said, "It's really unreasonable." We had such a big battle in Xiangcheng, and the imperial court didn't care about us. It was as if the imperial court had forgotten our Xiangcheng, and had never sent a single soldier. What a bastard court。。。。。。 ”
Xu Yang heard that Ma Zichen could also swear, opened his eyes with a smile, and said with a smile: "Don't talk about your battle here, when I fought in Gan Province before, the imperial court never sent a single soldier, as if the imperial court was going to give up the country." ”
When Ma Zichen realized that he was cursing the court, he immediately stopped quickly, and then heard Xu Yang's ridiculous words, and hurriedly looked around, for fear that the bad things he said about the court would be heard by people with ulterior motives.
When Ma Zichen saw that no one was looking at him, he breathed a heavy sigh of relief, and saw Xu Yang looking at him with a smile, and said with a smile: "The imperial court is really in the world now!" and continued: "By the way, I remember that since I won the top prize, it seems that the imperial court has never held another examination, right?"
Xu Yang heard the other party mention the exam, thought about it, and suddenly realized that since Ma Zichen was admitted to the top prize, the imperial court has never held a general examination again.
It is as if the imperial court has now not only forgotten the heavy responsibility of the country, but also the holding of the imperial examination.
"If that's the case, then you may be the last champion of my Celestial Empire. Xu Yang said with a smile.
When Ma Zichen heard Xu Yang's words, not only was he not happy, but he was also sad, knowing that if the court was really like this, then it would mean that the court would come to an end.
The more Ma Zichen thought about it, the more frightened he felt, and all kinds of terrible thoughts also appeared in his mind, thinking that if the Heavenly Empire Kingdom was really destroyed, then where should he go in the future?
And as Xu Yang guessed, Ma Zichen really became the last champion of the Celestial Empire, and the Celestial Empire no longer had any imperial examinations, which also ruined the career path of those hard-working students.
Ma Zichen looked at Xu Yang's hippie smiling face and said, "If the imperial court ceases to exist, then where should we go?
"Blessings and misfortunes lurk, and misfortunes and blessings depend on. The things of the future will be handled by the future, so why bother about it? However, we also have to prepare in advance to prevent all kinds of accidents in the future. Xu Yang said.
Ma Zichen saw that Xu Yang seemed to have something to do, and asked impatiently, "What should we do earlier?"
"Now that our army is all concentrated in Xiangcheng, and the imperial court can't count on it now, we might as well name our army 'Hunan Army'. Xu Yang said with a smile.
When Ma Zichen heard the other party's words, he was stunned, he never expected the other party to have such a bold idea.
Ma Zichen knew that once he acted like this, his army would leave the imperial court, and he would no longer obey the orders of the imperial court.
"This matter is too serious, and you must not act hastily, otherwise you will be killed. Moreover, if our army gets rid of the imperial court, the imperial court will definitely be difficult for our army. Ma Zichen shook his head and said.
Xu Yang saw that Ma Zichen couldn't accept his thoughts for a while, and sighed regretfully, knowing that his idea was too bold, if the other party could easily accept it, he would not become the prefect of Xiangcheng.
So, Xu Yang didn't continue to talk to the other party, but left some time for the other party to think about his own suggestion.
Xu Yang is confident that Ma Zichen will definitely agree with his idea, and it is only a matter of time.
And just as Xu Yang guessed, Ma Zichen was constantly thinking about Xu Yang's bold idea in the future, thinking about whether the army in Xiangcheng should break away from the imperial court and whether it would be independent.
And Xu Yang and Ma Zichen don't know the current situation of the imperial court now, and the reason why Ma Zichen is so cautious is that he is afraid that the imperial court will condemn him, so Ma Zichen hesitated and did not dare to agree to Xu Yang easily.
Xu Yang saw Ma Zichen bowing his head and pondering, and said with a smile: "This matter is not in a hurry, just go back and think slowly." He added: "Now that the battle is over, we must not take it lightly, because perhaps the next battle will follow." ”
"Brother Xu is very worried. You can rest assured, now our army is also in full swing preparing for the next battle. As long as this gang of gangsters of the Holy Lotus Sect dares to come, we will fight him again and collapse again. Ma Zichen said.
Xu Yang nodded, he didn't expect that the generals and officials in Xiangcheng had already prepared all the things they were worried about, and they were still waiting for the next fierce battle to come
