Chapter 232: Aftermath
The first rays of sunlight in the morning spilled into Linjia City, and the sky gradually brightened. "Ke * Le * Yan * Love * First * Fa ()" is on the Beechcraft Chinese website
The diverse people who live in the city start their day.
After the army began to search the whole city last night, the streets of the entire Linjia City gradually became empty and deserted.
At that time, the sound of horses' hooves trampling stone bricks and soldiers shouting and banging on the door was heard everywhere in the city. For many ordinary people, there was a tense and terrifying atmosphere in the city of Linjia at that time, which made them feel terrified and uneasy, as if the end was coming.
They didn't know what was going on, so now they had a sense of unreality when they walked peacefully into the street that was bustling with activity again.
Last night's qiΔ seemed to be just a dream
Whispers of people began to be heard in many corners.
"Did you hear about it, more than a dozen people died on Cangping Street last night. β
"Someone really died, who was the enemy last night?"
"I don't know, but I've heard. The dozen or so people on Cangping Street were mistakenly killed by our Tianhe soldiers."
"No, who did you listen to?"
"I have a cousin who witnessed the scene last night, and a row of houses between Cangping Street and Dongmen Street were bulldozed"
Someone nearby interjected: "What is this, I heard that there were many people who died in Xihou Mansion last night."
"Didn't only five or six people die in Xihou Mansion, and this matter spread last night. β
"Hey, you're outdated news, and then five or six hundred people came, and they started working with those Moon Kingdom secret guards"
"That's not a battle of thousands of people, who won in the end"
"I don't know who won, but one or two thousand people died in only a few hundred, that's a miserable one, and now it's completely sealed off, and it's said that the smell of blood is overwhelming, and the ground is full of broken flesh and stumps, it's terrible."
"Did you see it with your own eyes?"
"I didn't see it, but my next-door neighbor's cousin happened to be nearby last night, and he sneaked aside and saw it. β
"So, last night, those Moon Kingdom secret guards were killed and injured a lot"
"That's, there must have been heavy casualties, and they deserved it"
At this time, someone else heard the conversation here, and couldn't help but join in.
"Hehe, do you know who fought with those Moon Country people last night?"
"Who is not the master of our Tianhe?"
"No, in fact, those people are from Qingchuan Nanqi who have entered the city in the past few days, and this time they are dog-eat-dog. β
"Haha, that's a good feeling, it's good if they're dead"
When they heard that most of the people who died last night were from neighboring countries, they all cheered up.
For a while, all kinds of gossip was overflowing, some said that the Yueguo and Qingchuan Nanqi people fought last night, some said who the fugitives pursued by the Tianhe soldiers were, some said that the Tianhe soldiers killed their own people, and some said that the Tianhe soldiers seemed to have joined the melee in Xihou Mansion, and even those who knew more doubted whether those Yueguo secret guards were Tianhe people
Passers-by had different opinions, and what was originally a whisper turned into a loud discussion.
However, the most accepted news is undoubtedly the heavy casualties of the Yueguo people and the Qingchuan Nanqi people last night, and this news continues to spread. For a while, the people on the street forgot about last night's confusion and smiled one by one.
For the people of Tianhe, the more people from the surrounding countries such as Yueguo, Qingchuan, and Nanqi died, the better, and it was best to die all of them, so that their Tianhe territory could expand by dozens or hundreds of times.
The Tianhe people, who have always survived in the gap between the Three Kingdoms, have been naturally hostile to several neighboring countries since childhood.
Therefore, after hearing that the people of the three countries were unlucky last night, their feelings rose one by one. For a while, even the dozen or so Tianhe people who were innocently trampled to death were temporarily forgotten.
However, unlike the jubilation of the outside world, at this time, the Tianhe Palace was shrouded in a solemn and gloomy atmosphere.
The ordinary people didn't know what happened last night, but the few people in the palace knew it very well.
At this time, there were still eight people sitting in the council hall. It's just that the black-bearded general Li Shuo was absent this time, and was replaced by the leader of the Black Turban Thieves.
The King of Tianhe, who was sitting in the center, asked the middle-aged general next to him, "How is Li Shuo's injury?"
The middle-aged general is Guo Qian, the number one person in the Tianhe military, and when he heard the inquiry of the king of Tianhe, he said with a heavy face: "It's hard to say, his meridians have been damaged in several places, even if he uses a panacea, I'm afraid it will be difficult to recover." And the most severe thing is that his right arm was completely cut off"
After Li Shuo turned around last night, he was attacked by Xiang Tang, Yu Hai, and the leader of the men in black at the same time, although he was also a cultivator who broke through the realm, but he still could not be spared, and he was injured on the spot. In the ensuing battle, if it weren't for the desperate rescue of Zha Yan, the leader of the black turban thieves, he would have died in the melee a long time ago.
Li Shuo is Guoqian's right-hand man, and after last night's incident, he may not have the possibility of doing anything in his life, which makes him regret it a lot
He couldn't help but wonder if it was worth paying such a big price to kill Yue Luoning
King Tianhe nodded expressionlessly, and then asked the other minister next to him, "Have you counted the casualties last night?"
This person hurriedly stood up, held a stack of case files in his hand, and at the same time said to himself: "Last night, one hundred and forty-eight people in Qingchuan were killed and six were injured, two hundred and twenty-three people in Nanqi were killed and eleven were injured, Liangyue Fang died eighty-six and five were injured, and a total of four hundred and fifty-seven people were killed and twenty-two people were injured, and among the dead people were sixteen Extreme Realm masters, and the rest were all Yuan Realm."
The wounded were only the seriously wounded who could not be taken with them after the battle last night, when the tripartite coalition forces saw that the situation was not good.
During the final cleaning of the battlefield, these people were captured by the Tianhe people.
Among the more than 100 people who withdrew, including Xiang Tang, Yu Hai and others, how many were injured is impossible to know.
"We" The minister hesitated to speak, but secretly glanced up at the King of Tianhe, quietly wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, and saw that the other party did not stop him, so he continued.
"There are 500 Black Feather Guards on our side, 426 dead and 57 wounded, and the forbidden army that joined the battle at the same time is 644 dead and 325 wounded"
The Black Feather Guard is the official position of the Black Turban Thief in the palace, this is an elite of Tianhe, and its status and strength are comparable to the Dark Guard of the Moon Kingdom.
This group of people is the real elite of Tianhe, the number is no more than eight hundred, originally more than a hundred people died in the northeast of the Moon Country last time, and more than four hundred died this time. It can be said that this group of centaurs has been crippled.
At this time, although the face of the King of Tianhe remained unchanged, his heart was already dripping blood, and he would rather Yue Luoning never come to Tianhe now
Because the price paid this time was so big that he couldn't accept it.
It's just that the minister in front of him doesn't know that this black feather guard is the notorious black scarf thief in the outside world.
Judging from the literal number jΓΉ, the tripartite alliance of Qingchuan Southern Qi Liangyue is stronger than the black turban bandits, after all, they face the black turban thieves and more than a thousand Tianhe forbidden troops at the same time, and they can still kill the black turban thieves to the point that there are only a few dozen alive.
After all, these forbidden troops are also the elite of the army, although their cultivation is not as good as the black scarf thieves, but almost all of them are cultivators who have passed through the realm.
But in fact, the main reason why these three-party coalition forces can have an advantage is that they attacked and abolished Li Shuo's powerful combat power at the beginning.
The battle between cultivators cannot only be based on the number of people, because the strength of cultivators in different realms is too different. The role played by the Realm Breaker cultivators in this war was simply incomparable to that of ordinary people.
In such a melee, the results achieved by a realm-breaking master may not be comparable to a hundred Yuan Realms.
Originally, two people from each side broke the realm, but because Li Shuo was abolished, the balance between the two sides was broken, and finally led to such an ending.
And the biggest reason why this battle didn't kill one side in the end was that Su Qiu of the Heavenly Realm rushed back. Strike a shock and scare away the remnants of the tripartite coalition.
If it weren't for that, the Black Turban Thieves and the more than 1,000 Tianhe Forbidden Army would probably be left alone.
The minister continued, as if endorsing: "Last night, our side dispatched tens of thousands of troops, and accidentally killed 17 of our Tianhe people and injured 9 people. A total of 39 residential houses were damaged, and the damage has not yet been calculated."
The indifferent face of the King of Bang Tianhe could no longer be maintained, he slapped the armrest on the side of the chair heavily, and asked angrily: "Bastards destroy people's houses and kill civilians, whoever gives them the power will give the order"
The minister was silent.
He knew that King Tianhe's words were meant for the three people in the Heart Palace.
Regarding the killing of innocent civilians, how could the King of Tianhe get the news so late He was indeed angry, but he did not hesitate to kill Yue Luoning before the people of the Yue Kingdom, this was his own order before.
He said this now, but he had to make such a gesture, and maybe after this meeting, he would find two scapegoats to make the people angry.
After all, last night's incident was too loud, and the Tianhe soldiers killed innocent Tianhe people, and someone must be responsible for this kind of thing. And the person in charge will definitely not be the king of Tianhe, nor will it be the great general Guoqian, otherwise the people will lose trust in the royal family.
And what they need to do is to express their anger at this incident, and at the same time punish the generals who give orders without permission
In this way, the anger of the people will only be concentrated on the scapegoats, because this is their private behavior, not the official dictation of Tianhe.
The King of Celestial River finished expressing his anger and then turned back to the subject.
"Why did the three parties of Qingchuan and Southern Qi attack us, have you found out the reason?"
Guoqian said in a deep voice: "I found out, they took the Black Feather Guard as the Secret Guard of the Moon Kingdom, thinking that they received Yue Luoning tonight, so the three parties joined forces, intending to wipe them out."
King Tianhe's lips moved slightly, and he wanted to say why he didn't talk to the other party first, so that he could make such a misunderstanding with such a heavy price, but he couldn't say it.
How to ventilate that they were originally going to pretend to be a secret guard to seduce Yue Luoning to take the bait, this kind of thing, how could it be said everywhere that in addition to a few of them, even the ministers and generals of the Tianhe Dynasty did not know
He gritted his teeth and said sharply: "Then why did they take the initiative to do something to Li Shuo, can't they see the Tianhe military armor he wears, are they stupid?"
That's something they've never been able to figure out.
No matter how bold the Qingchuan Southern Qi people are, they will not completely break with the Tianhe people in the territory of the Tianhe people. What's more, their goals should be the same, isn't it everyone to kill Yue Luoning, even if they don't join forces, how can they take the initiative to attack them
They attacked the Black Feather Guard, which can also be explained by a misunderstanding. Attacking Li Shuo's forbidden army, it was not a misunderstanding, it was clearly deliberate
Guo Qian hesitated for a moment, and then said in disbelief: "According to the Qingchuan Nanqi people we captured, the reason why they took the initiative to attack us is because of a teenager."
